128 I Want to See My Wife Unscathed

Bai Wutong tried her best to distract Chu Tianbao. After two hours, when Gu Zhongxun pulled out the silver needles, the two of them were already sweating profusely.

Bai Wutong used a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off Chu Tianbao’s forehead. Gu Zhongxun took his pulse again.

After a while, Gu Zhongxun smiled and said, “The blood clot in Master Chu’s brain has cleared up a little.”

Bai Wutong asked Chu Tianbao, “Do you feel better?”

Chu Tianbao touched his forehead as if nothing had happened. “It doesn’t hurt anymore.”

Bai Wutong asked, “Did you remember anything?”

The blurry face of a woman in white flashed across Chu Tianbao’s mind. Suddenly, he held his head and felt a sharp pain.

Bai Wutong looked at Gu Zhongxun and asked anxiously, “Why is he suddenly in pain again?”

Chu Tianbao’s expression was very much distorted. The veins on his forehead were bulging, and his gums were white from biting. It was a thousand times more painful than when he was performing the acupuncture just now.

If Bai Wutong hadn’t hugged him, Chu Tianbao wouldn’t have been able to control himself and would destroy the entire pharmacy.

Gu Zhongxun did not expect that there would be such a huge side effect after the acupuncture. He speculated, “The blood clot in Master’s head has not been completely cleared yet. If he forcefully recalls his past, it will probably cause him intense pain.”

Bai Wutong hurriedly said to Chu Tianbao, “Tianbao, don’t think about it anymore… It doesn’t matter if you can’t remember.”

Chu Tianbao looked up and saw Bai Wutong’s moist eyes.

He hugged Bai Wutong tightly and said sadly and guiltily, “Wife, I can’t remember. It hurts…”

Bai Wutong hugged him and stroked his back. “It’s wife’s fault. It’s fine if Tianbao can’t remember. It’s fine if it’s like this in the future.”

As they leaned against each other, Gu Zhongxun had already quietly left the inner room.

As soon as he went out, he bumped into a large group of people.

Yang Quanzi frowned. “How’s Master Chu’s treatment?”

Gu Zhongxun shook his head. “The process was very painful. I’m afraid Madam can’t bear to let Master continue the treatment.”

Everyone looked at each other and sighed.

The atmosphere was a little down for a moment. Only when Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao came out did everyone smile.

Yang Quanzi did not intend to speak that day. When Bai Wutong saw Yang Gongbing, he guessed that they were here for something.

She looked at Chu Tianbao. “Do you still want to play?”

Chu Tianbao forgot about the pain after his scar healed and chuckled. “I want to go to the back mountain with Xiaobai to play.”

Although Huang Zhong’s sense of smell was good, he walked too slowly.

Chu Tianbao had to carry him every time he entered the mountain.

Ever since he discovered that Xiaobai’s nose was even better than Huang Zhong’s and that it was fast and agile, and that it could help to catch rabbits, he abandoned Huang Zhong.

Chu Tianbao’s martial arts were top-notch. No one could hurt him. Moreover, he had entered the mountain so many times and could always bring back a large pile of rabbits. Bai Wutong also wanted him to relax that day, so she reminded him, “Be careful when you go. Come back early.”

Chu Tianbao nodded. “Tianbao will be back soon.”

Bai Wutong smiled gently and stroked Xiaobai’s head again. “Go.”

Xiaobai rubbed against her palm and howled. It was so obedient that it did not look like a wolf.

Suddenly, Chu Tianbao looked at Qingfeng and ordered in a deep voice, “I’ll leave the wife to you. When I return, I must see my wife unscathed.”

His cold gaze was like a general giving orders on the battlefield.

In an instant, it was as he was a completely different person, and it scared everyone.

Bai Wutong was stunned and found it strange. Who taught Chu Tianbao to speak like that?

Her scrutinizing gaze landed on Lin Yue’s face. Lin Yue quickly shook his head and expressed with his eyes that it really wasn’t him!

He only asked Master Chu to be more manly and domineering. Who knew that he had mastered the essence of masculinity so quickly?

Qingfeng obeyed. “Yes!”

Chu Tianbao nodded in satisfaction. He turned around and looked at Bai Wutong with love and reluctance before the man and wolf left.

Yang Gongbing couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. If Master Chu regained his senses, he would definitely be able to subdue all the men in the world.

Bai Wutong led Yang Quanzi and the others back to the courtyard and brewed a pot of tea for them.

This was an old tea tree that they had accidentally discovered after entering the mountain. There were a few tender leaves on the snow-covered branches. After roasting and frying them, they became the top-grade snow tips that cost a thousand taels.

This old tea tree was very big. They picked 10 catties of raw tea and stir-fried it. Everyone received a few catties of it.

The elegant fragrance of tea rose faintly. Yang Quanzi sniffed in surprise and looked at the clear and bright tea. He immediately asked in disbelief, “This is the snow tip?”

Bai Wutong nodded and took a sip of the tea. It was slightly bitter and sweet.

It was really the snow tip. Yang Quanzi had only drunk it once in Sheng Huaixuan’s residence in his entire life.

When Bai Wutong said it so lightly, everyone’s fingertips trembled.

Yang Quanzi took a careful sip. He could not describe it with words. He could only express how delicious the tea was with an ecstatic expression.

This was the first time Yang Gongbing had drunk this tea, and he immediately felt that it was lingering.

He praised, “No wonder it’s worth a thousand taels. The snow tip is indeed the best in the world!”

Everyone enjoyed their tea while it was hot before getting down to business.

Yang Gongbing said apologetically, “Madam, the cleaning paper and paper production machine can’t be reported to the Imperial Court. I’m afraid the matter of Master Chu being exempted from labor and military service will be put on hold.”

Bai Wutong paused and looked up. “Why?”

Yang Quanzi and the others were concerned about the common people, so she was very puzzled that they suddenly gave up on reporting it.

...

Yang Gongbing explained in detail that the white paper had been taken by Consort Chu. He then said, “The Consort Chu has ordered that no one is allowed to use this formula without permission. Those who disobey will be executed for stealing the royal family’s asset. If we report the paper production machine that Madam has modified to the Imperial Court, we might even attract the Consort’s attention.”

The report would attract the attention of the royal family. This made Bai Wutong’s expression darken.

Fortunately, Yang Quanzi was cautious and only reported a white paper formula.

Bai Wutong looked at them and immediately said solemnly, “Thank you for worrying about me. It’s also my intention not to report it to the Imperial Court.”

Yang Quanzi said worriedly, “We’ve reported the white paper formula. Madam doesn’t want to attract attention, so we should ask the villagers to stop using the cleaning paper.”

Yang Quanzi really wanted Bai Wutong’s talent to be announced to the world and benefit the people of the world.

However, he valued the people around him more. If the people around him were not doing well, how could they submit to the world?

Yang Quanzi had already made his intentions very clear. If the villagers continued to use the cleaning paper, even if they did not report it, they might be noticed by the people who were secretly monitoring them.

However, if they reported it again, it was very likely that the paper production machine and the cleaning paper formula would fall into the hands of Consort Chu again. If they reported it to the King Chu through other channels, they would completely offend Consort Chu.
