Chapter 6 Qinghuan, why are you looking for Huaian so late at night?
A subtle fragrance wafted.
Fu Huaian slightly lowered his head, his eyes on Qin Fengwu's delicate face, her fair, tender skin seemingly untouched by the passage of time.
Her expression was serious, her eyes shining faintly, and her exquisite red lips were lightly pursed.
"Raise your hands."
Fu Huaian quickly snapped back to attention, extending his arms straight out.
Qin Fengwu took out a soft tape measure, leaned forward, and wrapped her arms around Fu Huaian's back.
She appeared to be nestled in Fu Huaian's embrace.
Qin Fengwu's dark hair brushed against Fu Huaian's cheek.
The strands of hair made Fu Huaian feel not only a slight itch on his face but also a stir in his heart.
"Uh."
Fu Huaian's eyes suddenly narrowed, his tall frame shifted slightly, and he took a small step back.
"What's wrong?"
Qin Fengwu tilted her head slightly, her breath like orchids, her naturally charming face revealing a hint of confusion in her moist eyes.
"Nothing, Aunt Qin, you may continue."
Fu Huaian exhaled softly, his voice a little hoarse.
Aunt Qin's figure was too overwhelming; when her hands wrapped around his waist earlier, Fu Huaian's chest was…
Qin Fengwu glanced at him, her expression calm, only the tips of her ears showing a distinct blush.
After a long while.
Once Qin Fengwu had Fu Huaian's precise measurements, she stepped back two paces and returned to her chair.
Fu Huaian watched her graceful retreating figure and let out a small sigh of relief.
Aunt Qin is kindly helping me take measurements for clothes; some bumps and brushes are inevitable.
How could I let my mind wander!
The night deepened, and silence enveloped the surroundings.
Qin Fengwu was about to leave with the food box when a knock suddenly sounded at the door.
"Fu Huaian?"
The soft call was not a question but carried a strange shyness.
It was Shen Jinyu's voice.
Aunt Qin's expression abruptly turned serious, her gaze sharply fixed on the door.
She knew Pei Qinghuan's voice, so who was this shameless little hussy?
Why was she looking for Huai'an so late at night!?
Fu Huaian's heart skipped a beat, sensing something bad was about to happen!
Qin Fengwu swept a glance at him, then slowly walked to open the door.
Creak.
"Hey, you, who are you?"
Shen Jinyu's heart fluttered with alarm at the sight of the gentle beauty behind the door.
"Why are you looking for Huai'an so late at night?"
Shen Jinyu's delicate body stiffened; how could she possibly say it out loud!
She glanced at Qin Fengwu, who was scrutinizing her, and assumed she was Fu Huaian's paramour.
Shen Jinyu immediately felt a surge of anger; why didn't Qinghuan, that dead woman, mention this situation!
I have no cultivation, what if the reason for my visit is exposed and this woman scratches my face!
Fu Huaian steadied himself, quickly stepped out, and smiled at Shen Jinyu:
"Did Master call for me?"
Shen Jinyu had been sent out by Pei Qinghuan, that self-sacrificing husband, to help her precious disciple suppress the poison!
Hearing Fu Huaian's words now, Shen Jinyu was not stupid; in this situation, she definitely couldn't reveal her true purpose.
"Yes, you are to come with me to your Master's place."
Fu Huaian, with his strong mind, turned his head without revealing any flaws, and smiled at Qin Fengwu:
"Aunt Qin, you should go back and rest first. I'm going to Master's place."
Aunt Qin?
Shen Jinyu was stunned; so she wasn't a paramour after all.
But so late at night, the two of them alone in a room…
Her gaze towards Qin Fengwu became strangely peculiar.
Qin Fengwu remained motionless, her beautiful eyes sweeping over both of them, finally resting on Shen Jinyu's charming face.
"Huai'an's Master called him, but why did you come to inform him? Who are you?"
Shen Jinyu hesitated for a moment, then said with a serious expression:
"I am Pei Qinghuan's wife!"
Qin Fengwu's eyes widened, looking at her in disbelief!
She's lying!
The outside world might not know Pei Qinghuan's situation, but because of Huai'an, how could she not know that Pei Qinghuan was a woman?
"Aunt Qin, it's a long story, but she is indeed Master's wife."
Fu Huaian quietly explained to Qin Fengwu.
Qin Fengwu remained silent, feeling that there must be a big problem here.
This woman, coming alone so late at night, clearly wasn't a proper woman!
Her eyes were terrifyingly alluring!
So what if she's Pei Qinghuan's wife? She'll still covet Huai'an!
Just like those noblewomen in Yangzhou, married women who still constantly think about Huai'an!
Shameless!
Qin Fengwu was suspicious and intended to get to the bottom of it.
"Huai'an, I haven't seen your Master in a long time either, let's go together."
The scene instantly fell into dead silence.
Fu Huaian's face stiffened, unsure how to respond.
"What? You don't want Aunt Qin to come?"
Qin Fengwu gave Fu Huaian a faint glance.
"If Aunt Qin wishes to go, she certainly can."
Fu Huaian had no choice but to agree.
Shen Jinyu, however, was indifferent; once they reached Pei Qinghuan's courtyard, she could deal with the headache!
The three walked in silence, not uttering a word, towards Pei Qinghuan's residence.
Fifteen minutes later.
Pei Qinghuan had already stepped out of her room, standing quietly outside the door.
She had sensed the arrival of the three earlier and was now somewhat confused, yet also had a guess.
She probably ran into Qin Fengwu, who is overly protective of her food!
Pei Qinghuan was also very annoyed with this woman.
Day after day, she keeps suspecting me of having inappropriate thoughts about Huai'an!
I am Huai'an's Master; Qin Fengwu's suspicions are simply baseless!
As the three approached, Shen Jinyu silently moved to Pei Qinghuan's side, feeling safer there.
Qin Fengwu's demeanor was calm as she looked at Pei Qinghuan, showing no fear of a transcendent expert.
"Qinghuan, why are you looking for Huai'an so late at night?"
Pei Qinghuan's breath hitched; where did that come from?
Fu Huaian felt exceptionally weary; indeed, one shouldn't lie!
Pei Qinghuan felt that things couldn't continue like this. Fu Huaian didn't dare to clarify the situation, but why shouldn't I?
"Huai'an has been poisoned and needs to be detoxified!"
Qin Fengwu's face immediately changed dramatically, her pretty face turning pale.
She dropped the food box in her hand, producing a harsh sound in the quiet night.
"Huai'an, why didn't you tell me!"
Qin Fengwu quickly walked to Fu Huaian, her tender hands gripping Fu Huaian's right hand.
Shen Jinyu's heart skipped a beat, her face flushing crimson!
Why did that dead Qinghuan just blurt it out! What will this woman think of me now!
Fu Huaian's handsome face showed a look of utter despair as he gently comforted her.
"Aunt Qin, it's nothing."
Pei Qinghuan was determined to give Qin Fengwu a good scare today. Her pretty face was expressionless, and her voice was cold.
"If the poison Huai'an has isn't cured in ten days, he'll go insane; if it's not cured in thirty days, he'll die directly!"
Qin Fengwu's vision went black, a wave of dizziness washed over her, and her legs gave out, threatening to collapse.
Fu Huaian quickly embraced Qin Fengwu, looking at Master with displeasure.
He sensed that Master was deliberately exaggerating the situation.
Although it was the truth, under diligent suppression, it theoretically amounted to not being poisoned at all!
Qin Fengwu regained her composure, her breathing a little more rapid. Looking at Fu Huaian before her, her eyes reddened, and tears immediately began to flow uncontrollably.
Fu Huaian watched with a pained heart, quickly and gently wiping away the tears on her pretty face.
"Aunt Qin, it's nothing. It's not as serious as Master says. The poison can be suppressed; I won't die!"
Qin Fengwu had been utterly despondent, even contemplating accompanying Huai'an in death.
Hearing Fu Huaian's words now, her eyes brightened, her spirits immediately lifted somewhat, and she eagerly looked at Pei Qinghuan.
"Qinghuan, you can help Huai'an suppress the poison, right?"
