"I, I didn't mean to lie to you..." Zong Shouyuan was at a loss. He had finally cured his illness, but he stuttered again.

His mind was filled with the touch of Nian Tu's fingertips, and he was unable to think about whether it was sour or sweet.

Nian Tu saw his panicked look and thought he was cute and pitiful, so he decided to forgive him.

No matter how stupid he is, he is still my partner. It is not a big deal to be angry about. She waved her hand and said, "Forget it."

She picked a piece of cut peach to eat, this time it was sweet, and she did not forget to feed a piece to Zong Shouyuan to dilute the sour taste in her mouth.

As for what to do with the remaining sour oranges, throwing them away would be a waste, and eating them would be a pain...

Aaron listened for a long time but didn't hear any slapping sounds. He bravely opened one eye and found that his master's face was fine without any new red fingerprints.

He let out a long sigh, looked at the culprit, Sour Orange, and frowned, "Madam, leave it to me."

"Do you like sour food?" Nian Tu looked curiously at Aaron who was holding the tray of oranges.

Almost instantly, Aaron felt his master's cold gaze on him and could not help but shiver.

“No, I don’t like it…”, he forced himself to answer the question, “But I know someone who likes it, I’ll go and send it to him right away!”

He wanted the person in charge of purchasing this sour orange, along with the rest of the sour oranges, to eat them all! Not a single one should be left behind!

Aaron didn't dare to stay any longer and slipped away as fast as he could.

There were only two people left in the room, and their breathing was quiet.

Zong Shouyuan tried to hold back, but couldn't help it, so he said sourly, "Why don't you ask me if I like sour food?"

He is Nian Nian's husband, why should he care about others?

"No need to ask," Nian Tu glanced at him meaningfully and smiled, "I know you like to eat."

He had restrained himself a little when they were in Interstellar, but now that she was alone with him, he did not hide his strong possessiveness at all, and his jealousy grew.

She teased Zong Shouyuan a few words, ate a few more peaches, gave the rest to Zong Shouyuan to clean up, and got up to get the medicine box from the bedside.

"This is what my stepmother gave me," she said, placing the medicine box on the table, unlocking it with a click, and displaying the contents to Zong Shouyuan. "She said this is a tonic medicine and asked me to make it for you."

Zong Shouyuan was happily eating the peaches that Nian Tu had left for him, and paused when he heard this.

He knew. He had heard the secret guards' report.

He originally wanted to replace the medicine inside when Nian Nian wasn't paying attention, but he didn't expect that she would show it to him so blatantly, catching him off guard.

The bitter smell of the medicine hit him in the face, and Zong Shouyuan's expression turned cold.

He didn't understand medicine and couldn't tell the ingredients and effects of these medicines, but he was very sure that the Nian family had no good intentions.

The thing is in Nian Nian's hands. If he is poisoned in the future, it will be her fault. As long as the Nian family denies it, Nian Nian will be the only one who will be punished in the end.

Before Zong Shouyuan could figure out how to trick Nian Tu into coming over, Nian Tu spoke first, "This medicine is poisonous."

???

Zong Shouyuan couldn't believe what he heard for a moment.

"you……"

How do you know every year?

The strangeness that he had deliberately ignored before came back to his mind. Nian Nian had been locked up in the backyard of the Nian family for twenty years. She had never been to school and could not read. However, her speech and behavior were extraordinary. She could not only draw pictures and understand mechanisms, but also embroider sachets better than the best embroiderer in the mansion.

Now, she has revealed that the medicinal herbs are poisonous.

Zong Shouyuan could no longer deceive himself and pretend that there was nothing wrong with his wife.

But it was undeniable that the Nian family treated her badly, and today they arranged two little girls to replace her... She shouldn't have anything to do with Prince Bao's forces.

The logic didn't make sense, Zong Shouyuan frowned and asked directly, "Do you obey Prince Bao?"

I heard that Prince Bao used poison to control his subordinates. Could it be that Nian Nian also has the poison called Yan Yue?

If this is true, then she would undoubtedly be betraying Prince Bao by telling him about the medicine. If the truth comes out and she can't get the antidote, the consequences will be disastrous.

When he thought of the tragic situation of the people who died in Yanyue according to the intelligence, Zong Shouyuan's heart seemed to be grasped by a hand and he had difficulty breathing.

He couldn't let Nian Nian die in such a miserable way.

“Prince Bao?” Nian Tu looked confused, shook his head, and fiddled with the herbs. “I’ve never heard of him. I don’t know him.”

"Is Prince Bao your enemy?" She studied Gray Wolf's ugly face. With her understanding of him, she could easily guess, "Is the Nian family also related to Prince Bao?"

Both of his sentences were correct, and it was obvious that she knew everything.

Zong Shouyuan held her hand blankly, not understanding why she refused to admit that she was Prince Bao's subordinate.

Nian Tu had already made up an excuse.

On the way home, she kept thinking about this troublesome matter. After pondering for so long, she finally made a decision.

"Actually, I'm not Nian Tu," she cleared her throat and said shockingly.

In an instant, countless possibilities flashed through Zong Shouyuan's mind.

If she is not Nian Tu, then who is she? ?

No matter who she is, since she married him under the identity of the Nian family's daughter, she is his! She cannot deny her debt!!

Nian Tu didn't know what he was worried about, so he started talking nonsense in a serious tone, "Some time ago, the original Nian Tu fell into the water and died. I was a wandering ghost nearby, so I took the opportunity to possess her body."

This kind of truth that came from another world is too difficult to understand. With the IQ of the stupid gray wolf, he probably can't understand it. The talk of ghosts and gods is easier to understand and easier to believe.

As expected.

Zong Shouyuan lowered his head and remained silent for a while, then spoke in a muffled voice, "What's your name? How did you... become a ghost?"

He seemed to have accepted Nian Tu's words, and his acceptance was extraordinary.

No wonder, no wonder there are so many things happening every year, and their personalities are also different from what has been rumored.

If a ghost took over a person's body, he would definitely think it was malicious and would ask monks and Taoist priests to deal with it. But when it happened to Nian Nian, he actually felt an immoral sense of relief.

If the original Nian Tu hadn’t fallen into the water, he wouldn’t have met Nian Nian…

"If I burn paper money, can ghosts receive it? Is it useful?" He couldn't help asking, hugging Nian Tu tightly with both hands, fearing that the person in front of him would turn into an ethereal soul and disappear without a trace. "I'll build a monument for Nian Tu and burn some paper."

Burn more paper money, worship her sincerely, let her leave in peace, and don't pester her year after year to get her body back.

“……”, Nian Tu’s face froze.

This doesn't sound very auspicious.

She regretted making up this story, but the words were already out and she couldn't take them back. She could only cough awkwardly and said, "I gave her the chance to be reincarnated, and she has already been reincarnated."

Telling a clumsy lie requires countless lies to cover it up, which is really shooting oneself in the foot.

"What's your name?" Hearing that no one would come to take back his body, Zong Shouyuan breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask persistently.
