After being forced into a marriage of convenience, a master of metaphysics manipulates a cold and al

"Which building is Aunt Chen's house in?"

Qin Shengtu must have called the security guard at the gate of the residential area. After Ye Bai and the other two had their information verified, they were able to enter smoothly.

Upon arriving at the underground parking lot, Ye Bai became somewhat curious as he looked at the elevator exits.

If Duan Jitong wasn't lying, the woman skilled in the forbidden Xuanmen cultivation technique shouldn't be the second wife, Chen Jingmei.

However, Ye Bai did not completely dispel his doubts.

The reason is simple: it is extremely rare for a normal person to grow younger as they age.

Reverse aging may exist, but it won't reach this level.

Moreover, Chen Jingmei and Sun Yibiao knew each other, which gave her even more opportunities to practice forbidden Xuanmen techniques.

However, there is one question that remains unanswered.

According to Lu Sita, Chen Jingmei hadn't known these scoundrels of the Xuanmen sect for very long.

Even a peerless genius could not possibly master the forbidden technique of sexual cultivation in such a short time.

Forbidden arts are forbidden not only because they are evil, but also because they are difficult to cultivate.

"You seem to care about Aunt Chen quite a bit. Have you found out something recently?"

Qin Wanqing glanced at Ye Bai, her expression somewhat subtle.

Without a doubt, Queen Qin's intelligence had returned at this moment, and she instantly realized the key point.

"We did find some information, but so far it doesn't seem to have much to do with Aunt Chen. Or rather, it's definitely good news..."

After thinking for a moment, Ye Bai briefly explained Duan Jitong's situation to Qin Wanqing.

Many misunderstandings and conflicts arise from keeping things hidden, and Ye Bai is too lazy to waste that unnecessary energy and time.

Moreover, he would have to explain Chen Jingmei's problems to Qin Wanqing in detail sooner or later.

Giving them a heads-up now isn't a bad thing.

"...Are there really flower thieves in the world? Are you one of them?"

Qin Wanqing's pretty face flushed slightly, and her gaze toward Ye Bai became increasingly strange.

"Nonsense! If I were you, I would have already taken you, instead of letting you show off in front of me all day long!"

Ye Bai snorted irritably.

"Pah! You think I don't know what you're thinking? I just didn't let you succeed!"

Qin Wanqing spat lightly, then, still feeling unsatisfied, reached out and pinched Ye Bai's waist again.

"Qin Wanqing, you pinched my waist again!"

Ye Bai winced in pain, wondering if it was just his imagination, but he noticed that the woman's pinching technique was becoming increasingly skilled.

Moreover, he has become increasingly precise in controlling the force, ensuring that he will be in so much pain that he gasps for breath, without leaving any evidence, so that he can't even go to his grandmother to complain.

"Young master, young master, let me massage your kidneys. They're a really good thing..."

Shen Lu quickly came closer, tears of heartache streaming from the corners of her mouth.

"...Lulu, I understand you're craving kidneys, but you can't eat human kidneys. There's no point in staring at them all the time."

Ye Bai was exhausted. He had previously laughed at the Tu family siblings, calling them an oddball.

Now it seems that the two people beside him, one big and one small, are not doing much better either.

After some playful fighting, the three of them arrived at Qin Shengtu's ex-wife's house.

It's a large single-level apartment, around 200 square meters in size. The decoration isn't luxurious, but it's very tasteful and has a high-class feel.

According to Qin Wanqing, this should be credited to that fifth aunt.

They are professionals in interior design, truly experts in this field.

"Sister Wanqing, did you come to see me?"

Qin Shengtu's daughter, Qin Tao, lay alone on the sofa, covered with a thin blanket. Her face was flushed, and her big eyes lit up when she saw Qin Wanqing.

“Your dad called to say you weren’t feeling well, so your sister came to check on you.”

Qin Wanqing quickly walked over and sat down next to Xiao Taozi, reaching out to touch the girl's small forehead.

Then she frowned and uttered a soft cry.

"It's so hot... Little Peach, you have a fever!"

Although her relationship with Qin Shengtu was very bad, and the so-called uncle-niece relationship had long been dead in name only, Qin Wanqing still liked her little cousin Qin Tao quite a bit.

Little Peach is not only cute, but also has a likable personality; she is well-behaved and polite.

Every time she sees Qin Wanqing, she keeps calling her "sister this, sister that"—she's such an adorable little thing.

So when Qin Wanqing saw the little girl lying alone at home, she felt both heartache and anger.

"Where's the nanny? I remember her name is Aunt Liu, right?"

Qin Wanqing glanced into the house but did not find any trace of the other party.

"Sister Wanqing, I'm a little confused..."

Xiao Taozi had clearly been running a fever for some time and was somewhat disoriented, completely oblivious to what Qin Wanqing was saying.

"Let's take her to the hospital first; it would be troublesome if she gets burned."

Ye Bai walked over, took off his suit jacket, and wrapped Xiao Taozi inside it.

Xiao Taozi's house must have blankets and quilts, but he doesn't know exactly where they are, so he can only make do with whatever he has.

Before leaving, Ye Bai noticed some baijiu (Chinese liquor) on the wine cabinet by the door, so he picked out the bottle with the highest alcohol content and took it with him.

Since we couldn't find the alcohol, we had to use this strong liquor as a substitute.

This way, at least we can physically cool down Little Peach on the way, so that her fever doesn't get worse.

If a child who is only five or six years old has a persistent high fever, it can easily lead to serious consequences.

Fortunately, upscale residential communities like Wanting Garden have complete surrounding facilities, including hospitals.

On the way, Ye Bai used strong liquor to try to lower Xiao Taozi's fever, and by the time they arrived at the hospital, her fever had actually subsided.

This was only because Ye Bai didn't have any medicinal herbs on hand. Buying them from the pharmacy and then preparing them would have taken too much time. Otherwise, there would have been no need to send the little girl to the hospital at all.

However, this is also good, as hospitals are better at treating ordinary fevers.

Just as the doctor was carefully examining Xiao Taozi, Qin Shengtu called again.

Clearly, Qin Shengtu still has a lot of affection for this daughter.

Hearing that Ye Bai and Qin Wanqing had taken Xiao Taozi to the hospital, he finally felt relieved. After a long silence, he said, "Xiao Bai, I will remember your kindness to Wanqing and repay it handsomely!"

"Fifth Uncle, you're too kind. We're all family, it's only right."

Ye Bai didn't take it seriously at all. He helped not because of Qin Shengtu, but because Qin Tao was a child.

No matter what, adult matters should never involve innocent children.

Moreover, Qin Tao is also a member of the Qin family, and is also the granddaughter of Old Madam Qin. How could they possibly stand by and watch her die?

"Was that from Uncle Wu?"

After Ye Bai hung up the phone, Qin Wanqing looked over and asked.

Ye Bai nodded, then suddenly said, "When your sixth uncle held a banquet last time, your fifth uncle didn't go. Do he and your third uncle not get along?"

Qin Wanqing raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "Are you suggesting that we take this opportunity to try and win over Fifth Uncle?"

Ye Bai laughed and said, "Anyway, we won't lose anything, right?"

Qin Wanqing said disdainfully, "You really are a scumbag. You've got the hang of taking advantage of people in their vulnerable state perfectly!"
