The strongman's wife who traveled through time and space and became a young general

"For Mr. Gu's sake, I will be magnanimous this time and not hold you responsible for peeping at my beauty." Lin Qiu'er smiled lightly, then said seriously, "By the way, I just finished breakfast and wanted to go out for a walk to help digest the food, but I didn't expect to run into something strange."

Gu Anqing turned his gaze to the two servants kneeling on the ground and asked gently, "Miss Lin, what strange thing did you encounter? Can you tell me about it?"

"Mr. Gu, look at this." Lin Qiu'er bent down and picked up the stick with the poisonous insect from the ground, and put it in front of Gu Anqing, "There is something that shouldn't have appeared in your house, and that's the poisonous insect."

Chang Qing saw the thing on the stick and heard Lin Qiuer say that it was poisonous. He instinctively rushed forward to protect Gu Anqing.

Gu Zhong was agile and rushed forward to grab the stick, but no matter how hard he pulled, the stick did not move at all.

Lin Qiu'er looked at the two people's intense reactions and couldn't help but feel helpless. She shook her wrist lightly and easily broke free from Gu Zhong's hand that was holding the wooden stick.

Gu Zhong only felt a huge force coming, his hands went numb, and he loosened his hands involuntarily. He hid his numb hands behind his back and clenched them secretly.

"Can't you check first to see if this poisonous insect is dead?" Lin Qiu'er gently shook the wooden stick, and the poisonous insect on it swayed softly.

In fact, Gu Anqing had already noticed that the poisonous insect had been pierced by the wooden stick, but Chang Qing and Gu Zhong reacted instinctively before he opened his mouth.

"Miss Lin, can you tell me more about this poisonous insect?"

Lin Qiu'er glanced at Gu Zhong meaningfully, then looked at Chang Qing who had returned to stand beside Gu Anqing, and smiled softly, "It seems that there are still people who can understand what I say."

Gu Zhong and Chang Qing looked up at the sky and the ground, and looked down at the passing ants, but they didn't look at Lin Qiu'er. They turned a deaf ear to Lin Qiu'er's sarcastic words.

Lin Qiuer smiled softly and turned to explain to Gu Anqing, "This poisonous insect escaped from the fertilizer when the vegetable garden was being watered." She had already recalled the record of this poisonous insect in the medical book of Nalan Village, so she continued, "This insect is called Qianzujin Worm, and it is also the totem of faith of the Moda people of Xiling Country. It is said that only their saints can raise it."

"Humph, that's pure nonsense." Gu Zhong interrupted Lin Qiu'er, his face full of disdain, "How can this black bug have legs? And it's called a millipede, you're just pretending to know something!"

Lin Qiu'er was annoyed when Gu Zhong interrupted her. She glared at Gu Zhong, then turned to Gu Anqing and said in a slightly cold tone, "Why? Do you want it to grow legs? Or do you want it to turn golden?"

Gu Anqing was also speechless by Lin Qiuer's question. He was not sure whether the millipede Lin Qiuer said was true, but he knew she had no reason to lie to him. So he decided to believe Lin Qiuer's statement for the time being and motioned for her to continue.

Seeing Gu Anqing's reaction, Lin Qiuer no longer paid attention to Gu Zhong's questions.

She gently broke the wooden stick in her hand into two sections, held the half of the stick with the insect in one hand, and used the empty stick to pry open the lower abdomen of the poisonous insect.

Upon seeing this, Gu Zhong and Chang Qing involuntarily took two steps forward and saw that there were indeed two rows of small holes on the lower abdomen of the poisonous insect.

"See these small holes? When the insect grows up, its legs will grow out of these small holes, and its body will naturally transform from its current black color to golden yellow. That's why the people of Moda call it the millipede," Lin Qiuer explained.

The three people present were all well-informed people. They witnessed it all with their own eyes. Although they did not completely believe Lin Qiuer's words, they had already begun to wonder why the poisonous insect from Xileng Motor would appear in the Gu Mansion.

Lin Qiuer continued to explain seriously, "The millipede was not originally from Nalan Country. It must have taken a lot of effort to raise it from the size of a bee to this size. From the way the insect jumped around just now, it can be inferred that the person who raised it was really attentive and took good care of it. But this makes me even more worried. Why did they go to so much trouble to raise such a thing in the Gu Mansion?"

When Gu Anqing and the other two heard Lin Qiuer's words, they couldn't help but feel confused and uncertain.

They also thought of the poisoning of Old Master Gu. They had not been able to find any clues from the beginning, and all the doctors they called in were unable to identify what the poison was.

If it was really the millipede that caused Old Master Gu to be poisoned, then it is understandable that the doctors in Nalan were unable to identify it.

Lin Qiu'er frowned, and thought carefully about what was written in the medical book. She said puzzledly, "This kind of insect is usually used to control people, but it needs to be used together with the Yinyang Flower from Xiling Country."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Zhong's face turned pale as snow. Others didn't know, but Gu Zhong knew very well that the Yinyang flowers outside Old Master Gu's room were planted by him.

Gu Anqing and Chang Qing's eyes were always focused on Lin Qiu'er, so they didn't notice the change in Gu Zhong's expression. But Lin Qiu'er happened to be standing opposite him and noticed his abnormality at a glance.

"Do you know Yinyang Flower?" Lin Qiuer asked firmly without any hesitation.

Gu Anqing and Chang Qing looked at Gu Zhong after hearing this, only to find that his expression was not right.

"Uncle Zhong, are there Yinyang flowers planted in our house?" Gu Anqing had no liking for flowers and plants, so even if they were planted somewhere in the house, he would not be able to find it.

Lin Qiu'er's mind turned, and she probably guessed why Gu Zhong's face changed drastically, "Is there any Yinyang flower planted in Old Master Gu's courtyard?"

Gu Anqing's face turned extremely ugly, and he asked in a lost voice, "Uncle Zhong, are there really Yinyang flowers in Grandpa's yard?"

Gu Zhong nodded with difficulty, his face was extremely ugly, but he knew that this matter was his fault anyway. "The master did plant Yinyang flowers outside his room, but after planting this flower, the master's health was not abnormal, and almost all the powerful and noble houses in Nalan Country planted this flower for viewing."

"You mean, all the nobles in Nalan Kingdom will grow Yinyang flowers?" Lin Qiuer thought more, as if she had glimpsed a shocking conspiracy, and no one in the entire Nalan Kingdom knew about it.

No, now everyone present knows it.

"Yes." Seeing that no one was talking, Chang Qing introduced it to Lin Qiu'er, "I don't know who spread the word that Yinyang flower has health-promoting effects. As long as you plant it at home, it will strengthen your body over time. But because it was transported thousands of miles from Xiling Country, it is expensive, so only the powerful or wealthy families can afford it."

Lin Qiu'er had already smelled a strong smell of conspiracy from this short explanation. This must involve the interests of many people, but the most urgent thing at the moment is to uproot all the Yinyang flowers in Gu's house.

"Mr. Gu, I think the most urgent thing now is to have everyone in the mansion find and remove all the Yinyang flowers as soon as possible." Lin Qiu'er said seriously, "Although I can't be sure whether there are other millipedes for the time being, I can be sure that the place where the Yinyang flower is located must be related to it."

As soon as the words fell, everyone was shocked.

Gu Zhong immediately ordered someone to notify all the responsible persons and guard leaders to gather their men and transfer all of them except those who were really unable to spare.

They wanted to search every courtyard and pull out all the Yinyang flowers.

The first thing they pulled out was the Yinyang flowers in Old Master Gu's courtyard. What made them even more shocked was that they saw several Yinyang flowers in a vase on the table beside the bed.
