You Are Not the Only Rich Chapter 169

After taking a hot bath, Huang Daxian looked much better. Mu Hanye leaned against the bed and slowly wiped his chest with medicated oil.
"I'm fine," said Wong Tai Sin, "don't worry."
"Yes." Mu Hanye helped him tie his clothes, "Go to sleep."
"Don't have that expression." Wong Tai Sin looked at him sideways. "It's dark and gloomy, not like you."
Mu Hanye moved his mouth, wanting to tease him as usual, but he couldn't say anything for a long time. Thinking of his pale face and frowning brows just now, he felt a pang of pain in his heart. He couldn't accept such a degree. If something really happened in the future, I'm afraid I would even give him my life.
"I told you I'm fine." Wong Tai Sin sighed, "I just caught a cold. I'll be fine tomorrow."
Mu Hanye looked at him for a long time, then gently held his chin, leaned forward and k!ssed him carefully.
Huang Daxian stroked his cheek with one hand and said, "Sleep well."
Mu Hanye responded and locked him tightly in his arms.
A crescent moon hangs in the sky, and the stars are twinkling, accompanying the entire villa into silence.
The next morning, Oliver woke up very early. Seeing that the person next to him was still sleeping, he reached out and pinched his nose, "Get up!"
Asher frowned and complained, "Before, I always used k!ssing."
"Who asked you to pretend to be asleep?" Oliver stretched hard, his belly was so soft.
Asher sighed, "What a treat it is to have such a good time this early in the morning."
"Boring." Shen Xiaoshou covered his belly, "Get dressed!"
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Asher was amused. He stretched out his hand and pulled him to lie on top of him. "Why didn't I see you being so diligent before?"
"Aren't you here for serious business?" Oliver sat up, "Get it done quickly so you can go back quickly."
"Don't you like Baidi Village?" Asher asked.
"Yeah." Oliver said, "I don't know why, but I always feel gloomy. It's still isolated from the world, but it's different from Tianjiacun we met last time. The sunshine there is very good every day."
"Tianjia Village is just too remote, but it's not completely cut off from the outside world." Asher helped him take off his jacket. "Here, you've completely put yourself in a jar, so it's naturally different."
"Ling'er." Ye Jin knocked on the door. "Get up and have breakfast. Everyone is waiting."
"You still say it's early." Shen Xiaoshou quickly put on his clothes and complained, "We are the last ones to get up." She said that her husband was simply lazy and a real drag.
"Chirp." In the yard, Furball was squatting on a small branch to bask in the sun. His short tail feathers were shiny and beautiful.
Snow Wolf was lying under a tree with a large plate of beef jerky in front of him. It was the rations that the secret guards carried for their young palace master, basically enough for a month.
"Chirp!" The little black bean fur ball has serious eyes---eat quickly!
It's really domineering.
Frankly speaking, Snow Wolf didn’t really like this kind of fully cooked food, but he still lowered his head and ate it all up, feeling that it was a bit... spicy.
The young palace master who grew up in Shu is so harsh and unrestrained!
Furball jumped off the branch and lay lazily on it.
Very comfortable.
Halfway through breakfast, the clan leader came in holding a baby, and both of them were smiling.
Xiao Pingting liked Ye Jin very much, and when he saw him, he opened his arms to hug him.
Shen Xiaoshou sighed with emotion, his sister-in-law really has a motherly aura.
"Have you had breakfast?" Ye Jin asked while hugging him.
"I've eaten." Xiaopingzi nodded obediently, and then stuffed a small red stone into his hand.
"What is this?" Ye Jin opened his palm and looked at it. He saw that it was round and round, and it had obviously been touched many times.
"Don't look at it, it's just a stone, it's his treasure." The clan leader said with a smile, "I usually hold it in my hand and play with it, and won't give it to anyone who wants it. Now that I'm willing to take it out, it shows that I really like the Valley Master."
Xiaopingzi lay on Ye Jin's shoulder, and her lotus-like little arms wrapped around his neck.
Ye Jin was amused and sat at the table with her arms in her arms. The secret guard immediately offered peanut candy. The small bottle wanted to eat it but was embarrassed, so he buried his face in Ye Jin's arms.
"Chiu!" Maoqiu also jumped over to join in the fun, tilting his head to get scratched. The Snow Wolf King lay at Ye Jin's feet, swishing his tail.
The picture is quiet and warm, and under the sunlight, it looks like it is sprinkled with velvet gold. Oliver simply wants to worship his sister-in-law. This self-contained halo skill must be praised. Children and animals love it. She is completely like the Virgin Mary!
"Did you guys have a good rest last night?" the clan leader said, "The environment in the mountains is difficult. I'm afraid I may have wronged our distinguished guests."
If you know the conditions are tough, then you should move down the mountain earlier. It would be great if everyone can live together in harmony. Why bother staying in Baidi Village? Oliver shook his head in his heart, and then looked at Xiaopingzi who was eating candy seriously, and felt that it was not worth it.
"Excuse me for being blunt." Asher also said, "The conditions in this mountain are indeed not good."
The patriarch's expression froze. Frankly speaking, he was just being polite, but he didn't expect the other party to be so straightforward.
Shen Xiaoshou silently gave a like, well said!
"After just one night's sleep, someone fell ill." Asher said, "He is still lying in the house."
Mu Hanye had just finished feeding Huang Daxian porridge in the house and was about to leave with the bowl when he heard this, so he said, "Yes, Brother Qin is right."
The rest of the people looked at him with admiring eyes. Did you hear what he was saying? That's right.
They are indeed brothers who have been separated for many years, so this is fine.
"I'm really sorry." The patriarch didn't know how to proceed, so he could only say casually, "But this is already the best house in the mountain."
"I've been reading some ancient books these days, and they all say that in ancient times, the White Emperor's palaces were so continuous that even if you stood on the highest hill, you couldn't see them all at a glance. Every corner was covered with gold and jewels, reflecting the The whole palace is extremely luxurious, regardless of day or night." Asher raised his eyebrows, "You really have the spirit of a king to conquer the world." You didn't say the second part, but you are like this now, and you are still stubborn and don't know how to make progress. You are really ashamed of your ancestors. .
"Thank you for the compliment, Palace Master, but that is all in the past." The clan leader just smiled perfunctorily, not sure whether he really didn't understand or pretended not to understand.
"Can I ask the clan leader a question?" Shen Qianfeng asked.
"Of course." The clan leader nodded, "Master Shen, please speak."
"Who was the person who took the small bottle away from the general's mansion that day?" Shen Qianfeng asked, "I heard that he is good at martial arts, but I don't think I saw him this time."
"They are the gatekeepers of Baidi Village," the clan leader said. "One is called Daopo and the other is called Jianhun. They don't show up easily on weekdays."
"Is the gatekeeper so powerful?" Oliver was surprised.
The patriarch smiled and said, "The sword spirit and the sword spirit are brothers and sisters. The only thing they have to do on weekdays is to guard the main roads of the villa to prevent outsiders from entering."
"What about martial arts? Where did you learn it?" Oliver asked.
The patriarch shook his head, "This is a family matter in my Baidi Village. Please don't ask me to get to the bottom of it."
Oliver:...
Okay, I seem to be a bit talkative.
"I came here to ask if there is anything else you need help with," the clan leader said, "and also to ask when you can help resolve the issue."
"We don't need help for the time being. If necessary, we will take the initiative to ask." Asher said, "As for subduing demons, we have to wait until Ling'er recovers a little before we can find out."
Shen Xiaoshou had no choice but to cooperate and put on a weak expression.
"The parents of that little bottle..." The patriarch hesitated.
"It will be healed within five days." Ye Jin answered casually while helping Xiaoping wipe his sticky hands.
"Seriously?" The patriarch looked like he was relieved, "That's good, thank you very much."
"You're welcome." Ye Jin smiled and continued to feed the baby.
The secret guard sighed on the roof, Master Ye Gu is really like a mother... Otherwise, if Master Shen works hard, maybe he can actually give birth.
We were not looking forward to it at all.
After saying a few more words, the clan leader stood up and left. Seeing Xiao Pingting and Ye Jin having fun, they didn't take him away. After all, his parents were bedridden now, leaving the neglected Bai Ah Liu at home to take care of things, so he was really worried.
"What herbs are needed to treat the disease?" Shen Qianfeng asked, "So that the secret guards can go down the mountain to prepare them."
"No need." Ye Jin shook his head. "The poison of the three-day grass is easy to detoxify. The amount that the couple took was not large. All you need to do is boil a handful of mung beans and red yarn fruit in water, and then add the ready-made pills. There is no need to decoct the medicine at all."
"Is it a disease that Bai Laoliu forgets things as soon as he turns his head?" Oliver said, "If it can be cured, let's cure it together." Although it is not a fatal disease, it is indeed a headache.
"This is a bit troublesome." Ye Jin said, "If the head has been hit or hit, it may be treated with acupuncture, but if it is natural, there is nothing you can do."
"Actually, it's not a bad thing." Asher said, "To turn around and forget about unhappy things is a blessing that no one can ask for."
"When you go to Xiaopingzi's house later, ask him about it." Ye Jin said, "After all, he is here now, so he can be cured. It's not worth the energy."
The Jianghu mascot immediately applauded warmly in his heart. He is indeed my wife’s sister-in-law, very kind-hearted.
The sun was getting higher, and Little Bottle squatted on the ground to play with Little Phoenix. Snow Wolf stood aside to block the shade for them. Wong Tai Sin was taken out to bask in the sun by Mu Hanye. Ye Jin tested his pulse and said that there was nothing wrong and he just needed to take medicine and rest.
Mu Hanye nodded. Before he could speak, a young man suddenly ran in from outside. It was the water carrier they met at the entrance of the village yesterday.
"What happened?" Shen Qianfeng stood up.
"Something serious has happened." The young man was obviously running in a hurry, panting and holding on to the table, "Little Bottle's mother, she can't survive."
"What?" Ye Jin was shocked.
"The clan leader has already rushed over. Please hurry up and help take a look." The young man said anxiously, "It is said that he suddenly died just now."
The incident happened so suddenly that there was no time to ask in detail, so everyone went out to see what happened. In an instant, only Mu Hanye and Huang Taixian were left in the courtyard, as well as Maoqiu Snow Wolf and Xiao Pingzi. Since he was too young, he didn't know what happened and was still running around and playing with Little Phoenix. .
"Why did something happen as soon as we arrived?" Huang Taixian frowned.
"If everything is fine, we don't have to come." Mu Hanye picked up the small bottle, "Even though he is destined to be rich, he is still a poor child."
"If possible, I really want to send him down the mountain." Wong Tai Sin squeezed his little hand, "Even if life is a little poorer, it will be better than what it is now."
"What's so difficult about this?" Mu Hanye said, "If you want, just take it with you when we leave. Not to mention sending it to the foot of the mountain, it's okay even if you take it to Qijue Country."
"You are talking nonsense again." Huang Taixian shook his head, "The rules set by other people's ancestors have been passed down in the village for thousands of years. How can we change them because of our temporary weakness?"
"You are wrong." Mu Hanye said, "The rules set by our ancestors are divided into good and bad. If we don't seek to benefit future generations, even if it is just to not harm others, we should naturally respect it and not disturb it. But these rules in Baidi Village are obviously harmful to others and ourselves, so why can't they be broken?"
Wong Tai Sin was stunned for a moment, and felt that this seemed to be the case.
"The most deceptive thing in the world is the so-called 'ancestral rules'. Once these four words are used, others will be labeled as nosy." Mu Hanye said, "If you follow it blindly, Qijue Kingdom will I don’t know how many inexplicable rules there are now.”
Huang Daxian smiled and said, "It's more like your and mother's personalities."
"So, since he met us, this little baby doesn't have to be locked up in the ancestral hall." Mu Hanye put the small bottle in his arms, "Take it back to Qijue Country."
Although he knew that he was talking nonsense again, Huang Daxian did not argue much. Seeing that the little kid seemed to be tired from playing, he put him beside him and watched him sleep. Maoqiu stretched his neck to look, then consciously shut up and went out to play with Xuelang.
The Young Palace Master, who is often woken up by strange noises, is so sensible. Just give you some idea of   this.
In the other room, Ye Jin looked at the woman on the bed, checked her pulse, and then sighed, "It's too late."
As soon as the words came out, the women who were guarding the house all started to cry. Xiaopingzi's father was named Bai Fang. He was so shocked when he heard it that he almost fainted.
Bai Ahliu stood aside and supported him, his face a little pale.
There was a low cry in the room, Ye Jin turned around and went out, going straight to the kitchen.
There were still leftover breakfasts on the chopping board. Ye Jin looked at them and said, "A lot of three-day grass was put into the porridge, enough to kill someone."
"Someone wants to silence you?" Shen Qianfeng frowned, "I just sent people to keep an eye on the back mountain, but I didn't expect that the other party would attack here."
"Go call Bai A-liu out." Ye Jin said, "I have something to ask him."
"Are you sure?" Oliver reminded, "He always adds salt when making tea."
Ye Jin:...
"Let's ask Bai Fang to come out as well." Asher said, "Although he just experienced the pain of losing his wife, he is the only one who can rely on him to find the murderer. As a man, when facing the misfortune of his family, the pain in his heart is one thing, and the responsibility on his shoulders is another."
The secret guard nodded and went back to the house to call out Bai Ah Liu and Bai Fang.
"Who made breakfast?" Ye Jin asked straight to the point.
Bai Fang's face turned sallow and he said, "Ah Liu has been making breakfast lately, and Hua Niang and I can't get out of bed."
Bai A-liu also nodded, "I did it."
"Who has eaten this pot of porridge?" Ye Jin asked.
Bai Ah Liu's face turned pale. "Is there something wrong with this porridge?"
"Only Hua Niang ate it," Bai Fang said.
Bai Ah Liu was still asking, "What's wrong with this porridge? I cooked it myself."
"Why is Hua Niang the only one eating such a big pot?" Ye Jin's voice was not very sharp, and it was obvious that he was afraid of scaring the two people.
"Hua Niang has been feeling uncomfortable in her stomach recently, so I asked Ah Liu to put some brown sugar and jujubes in the bowl." Bai Fang said, "Unexpectedly, he didn't forget it, but he put it all over the pot. I took one bite and was disgusted. It was too sweet for him, so Hua Niang only ate a bowl."
"What's wrong with this porridge?" Bai A-liu seemed frightened and just kept saying incoherently, "I cooked it and kept watching it. There shouldn't be any problem."
"Don't be afraid yet." Ye Jin patted his shoulder, "Calm down."
Bai A Liu was still at a loss, and even wanted to try to drink a few mouthfuls of porridge by himself, but was naturally stopped by the secret guards.
"No one said you were the one who poisoned her, but you have to remember how you started this mess." Ye Jin said, "Whether you can find the murderer for your sister depends on you."
"What are you thinking about?" Bai Ah Liu was still shivering. "I made the porridge. I soaked the rice at night and made porridge in the morning. I do this every day. What's the problem?"
"Yes." Bai Fang also said, "Ah Liu is very familiar with this matter. He does it every day, so he will never forget it."
"I soaked the rice in the kitchen at night, and then cooked it in the morning." Ye Jin thought thoughtfully. That means the other party had a whole night to sneak into the kitchen and poisoned it from last night to this morning.
"Was there anything unusual at home last night?" Asher asked.
"Probably not." Bai Fang shook his head. "I've been going to bed early these days. Xiaopingzi and Ah Liu were sleeping in the outer room and were not woken up. It was no different from usual."
Ye Jin wanted to ask something else, but Bai Fang had already covered his mouth and started coughing. He seemed out of breath and had difficulty breathing, so he had to let Bai Aliu help him back first.
Everyone in the village is considered a family, so they are quick to act. They set up a mourning hall in the house in the afternoon. Shen Qianfeng and others searched the kitchen carefully, but did not find any useful clues. The little bottle could not be sent back home. The clan leader originally wanted to take it to his side, but later he saw that Mu Hanye and Huang Daxian seemed to like it very much, so he simply stayed there temporarily. After all, it was safer than anywhere else.
Since the clan leader had a high prestige in the village, he was needed for many things, so he was not free until the evening. Asher asked him, "Does this family have any enemies?"
The clan leader shook his head, "We are all relatives in the village, and we don't usually interact with the outside world. There are only a few dozen households in total. How can we form serious grudges, or even trivial frictions at most, and how can we poison people?" "
"Not one?" Asher frowned.
The patriarch said, "Not one."
When everyone in the room heard this, their hearts twitched and they felt a little confused.
"But something really strange happened in the village last night. I just heard about it," the clan leader said.
"What's going on?" Oliver asked.
"The monster from the back mountain came to the village again last night." The patriarch said, "Someone saw it with his own eyes."
Asher asked, "Who saw it?"
"More than one person saw it, at least three or four young people came to me and told me that there was a black shadow wandering in the fields in the middle of the night." The patriarch said, "But no one dared to catch him, and in the end he was allowed to run away."
"When did it happen last night?" Asher asked again.
"It was midnight," the chief said. "The monster would usually come to the village to look for food, so the young people didn't take it seriously. It wasn't until today when they heard someone had died that they thought it might be related to him, so they all came to find me."
"You mean monster poisoning?" Oliver asked.
The clan leader sighed, "At this point, this is probably the most reasonable explanation."
Asher nodded, "I'll send someone to the back mountain to check."
"Thank you very much." The clan leader stood up and bowed deeply to everyone, "I hope all distinguished guests can help my villagers escape their suffering as soon as possible..."
As he spoke, tears were already streaming down his face.
After seeing off the clan leader, Asher called the secret guards who were in the ravine last night and asked them if there was anything unusual.
"We have been watching the exit of the mountain, but we didn't see anyone coming in or out." The secret guard said, "Not to mention people, there are no wild animals either. The valley is extremely quiet."
"Is there any other way out of the mountain?" Oliver asked.
"I haven't been to the back mountain, so I can't say for sure." Asher said, "I'll go see it myself tomorrow."
"Yes." Oliver nodded, "Then you have to be careful."
"It's getting late, let's rest first." Shen Qianfeng said, "I have strengthened the guards in the village, and we will discuss the rest tomorrow."
Everyone nodded and went back to their rooms to sleep. Since Wong Tai Sin had not yet recovered, he fell asleep the earliest. There was a small bottle lying next to him, and his little hands were tightly grasping his fingers.
"See, I told you he likes Ah Huang the most." Mu Hanye leaned aside, watching over the two, one big and one small, with a smile in his eyes.
"You should sleep well tonight," said Wong Tai Sin, "and don't overwhelm him."
Mu Hanye was dissatisfied, "When did I sleep badly?"
Wong Tai Sin looked at him, "When did you ever sleep well?" He was either rolling around or rubbing against others. Even he could be crushed by him, let alone a little kid of four years old.
Mu Hanye said calmly, "Usually that's all intentional."
Wong Tai Sin was startled, "...You are quite happy to admit it."
"Go to sleep." Mu Hanye waved his sleeves to sweep out the lights, "I promise not to move around tonight."
Wong Tai Sin covered the small bottle with a blanket, closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
In the next room, Oliver had been thinking about what happened during the day and kept his eyes open for a long time.
"Why aren't you sleeping yet?" Asher asked in the dark.
Oliver was startled, "I thought you were asleep."
"How can I sleep if you're not sleeping?" Asher looked sideways at him, "How about I count sheep for you?"
"I can't fall asleep even after counting." Oliver hugged his neck, "Did you bring the soothing incense?"
"I'm afraid the soothing incense will be useless if I have something on my mind." Asher said, "Mongolian sweat medicine is fine."
Oliver:...
Young hero, are you serious?
Asher leaned over and k!ssed him.
Shen Xiaoshou pushed away, "Not in the mood."
"You're not in the mood to do anything?" Asher laughed.
Shen Xiaoshou grabbed his cheek and asked, "What do you think?"
"Even if you are in the mood, I'm afraid you can't do it." Asher patted his back.
"Why?" Oliver was puzzled.
Asher did not answer his question. He got out of bed, put on his clothes, and lit the candle. "Bring it in."
Oliver was surprised.
What do you mean... bring it in?!
