The Physician Wife Who Overturned The World

80. Silly Reason

After Xue Fanxin found out the reason for Ye Jiushang's anger, she fell silent. Seeing his childish appearance, one could never imagine that he was the noble, mysterious, and extremely arrogant Ninth Imperial Uncle.

Indeed, one cannot judge a book by its cover.

It also confirms one thing: men need persuasion.

“Alright, Ah Jiu. I was wrong this time. Don't be mad, okay? I pledge. There will be no next time.”

“You want next time?” Ye Jiushang's handsome face turned stiff with a serious warning. However, his eyes were filled with tenderness and affection. He hugged her even tighter as if afraid she would fly.

“There will be no next time. Really no.”

“Hmph, this time I will release that Gu Jinyuan easily. Besides, he is quite reasonable and does nothing that would make me too dissatisfied.”

“Gu Jinyuan and I are just friends. It was normal for friends to eat together. Besides, during the meal, I found something very interesting and saw the number one beauty in the City of Heavenly Saints, Su Baifeng.”

If not for this food, he probably wouldn't have known that Su Baifeng was the one who sent people to kill him so quickly. He would not have known that there were mineral veins in the Red Maple Forest either.

When Ye Jiushang heard Xue Fanxin mention Su Baifeng, he recalled what he had done recently and was filled with anger. Looks like it's time to deal with these people. Otherwise, they would think that he was a submissive.

“Ah Jiu, what kind of attachment of love and hatred do you and Su Baifeng have?” Xue Fanxin asked curiously. He felt that Ye Jiushang treated Su Baifeng differently. He clearly knew that he had sent people to kill him, but he had actually revealed nothing.

Xue Fanxin was not happy. Very unhappy.

“You're jealous?” Ye Jiushang looked at Xue Fanxin's jealous expression and thought that she was cute.

“Who is jealous! I just feel uncomfortable. You obviously know that Su Baifeng almost killed me, but you didn't even mention it to me. If I hadn't met him today, I wouldn't even know who wanted to kill me back then. Tell me, what do you mean help her hide it and don't want me to make trouble for her?”

“This is not what you think.”

“Then what was it like? I'm in a good mood today and willing to listen to your story. Of course, the prerequisite is that you are willing to tell me.” Xue Fanxin was not angry about this matter, just a little depressed. He believed that Ye Jiushang would never side with Su Baifeng. There must be another reason why he didn't mention this to her.

He was willing to give her a chance to explain.

Ye Jiushang smiled gently and explained, “I owe him a favor. Five years ago, he stole the Soul Awakening Lamp from the Ghost King and indirectly helped me escape from the calamity. Therefore, I gave him a promise. No matter what mistakes he makes in the future, I will save his life.”

Five years ago, he fell asleep. The Ghost King quietly attacked him, wanting to use the Soul Awakening Lamp to trap his soul. Fortunately, Su Baifeng had stolen the Soul Awakening Lamp, or else he would not have any freedom today.

Even if he was trapped by the Soul Awakening Lamp, he had a way to escape. However, the price he had to pay was higher, so he gave Su Baifeng a promise. She had no other gratitude, and she did not develop any feelings towards him because of this.

Due to the Soul Awakening Lamp incident, the Ghost King's birth mother, Qi Fei, was banished to the cold palace by the Heavenly Saint Emperor and died a few months later.

The death of his mother made the Ghost King even more hate Ye Jiushang. Over the years, he had targeted her. As long as there was a chance, he would definitely torture her to death.

However, Ye Jiushang had been missing for many years. Even if the Ghost King wanted to deal with him, he could not.

Xue Fanxin had basically known of Ye Jiushang and Su Baifeng's relationship.

“Ah Jiu, why do you always sleep? Are you hurt or sick? Do you want me to help you see it?” Regardless of whether it was the Ghost King or Su Baifeng, Xue Fanxin still cared deeply for Ye Jiushang. Before Ye Jiushang could answer, he had already started examining his body.

“This is a problem with the cultivation technique I trained, not my body. Every time I level up, I have to sleep for some time. Draconic Lotus Intoxication is the opposite of my cultivation technique. I can't touch it at all, or I'll suffer a backlash. You don't understand what I'm saying now, but I'll tell you in the future.” Ye Jiushang rubbed Xue Fanxin's head because he was pleased with her attention.

This at least proves that he is quite important to the little Xin’er.

“Forget, forget. It's a problem too deep. I won't understand even if you tell me now. By the way, I accidentally discovered a big secret today. There are mineral veins in the Red Maple Forest. It is said that it was discovered by people from the Prime Minister's Residence, but Prime Minister Su did not report it. He plans to mine it personally.”

Compared to those deep and incomprehensible things, Xue Fanxin was more interested in the mineral veins in the Red Maple Forest.

Mineral mines! It is a symbol of wealth! It represents money!

The least he has now is money, money, money.

“What? You are interested in that mineral vein” Ye Jiushang said indifferently. His tone was filled with contempt for the mineral vein. Clearly, the discovery in the Red Maple Forest did not deserve his attention.

“I'm interested, but I don't have the ability! Even the great Prime Minister's Residence needed a partner to mine it, let alone a little girl like me who had nothing. However, even if I can't get it, I can't let the enemy take advantage of me. Su Baifeng was already classified as an enemy by me, so I definitely won't let him have it smoothly. Even if I had to tell the public that the Red Maple Forest had a mineral vein, I wouldn't let him beat me.”

“Gu Jinyuan has warned the enemy. The Prime Minister's residence will not personally mine this mineral vein.”

“ah? Why?”

“The Prime Minister's residence always thinks that they have kept this matter a secret. Only a few people in their residence knew, but who would have thought that Gu Jinyuan already knew?”

The secret that the third person knows will no longer be a secret.

Since Gu Jinyuan knew that there were mineral veins in the Red Maple Forest, the others naturally knew as well. This secret cannot be hidden.

If the Prime Minister's Residence still wanted to mine the mineral vein personally, they would have to face the wrath of the Heavenly Saint Emperor.

“Because Consort Su has revealed the secret of Draconic Lotus Intoxication, she has lost the trust of the emperor. If the Prime Minister's Residence were to do something to anger the current Heavenly Saint Emperor, they would definitely seek death. If I'm not mistaken, Prime Minister Su will immediately report the discovery of the mineral vein.”

“You mean because of Gu Jinyuan's words, The Prime Minister's residence avoids disaster?”

“That's why I said that Gu Jinyuan had warned the enemy. Originally, the matter about the Red Maple Forest Mine could have made the Prime Minister's Residence suffer, but since he told them, they reversed the situation.” Ye Jiushang did not forget to insult Gu Jinyuan in front of Xue Fanxin.

Poor Young Master Gu. He had been deceived by the two-faced fox and did not even have a chance to explain himself.

Xue Fanxin felt that Ye Jiushang was reasonable. Thinking about it carefully, Gu Jinyuan's words today had indeed warned the enemy.

“Ah Jiu, the mineral vein in the Red Maple Forest will eventually belong to the royal family, right?”

“You want it?” Ye Jiushang asked indifferently.

Xue Fanxin nodded heavily and replied, “Ya.”

Those who have money and don't want to be idiots..
