Chu Min's eyes gradually darkened, and in the end he could only force out a bitter smile.

"Girl, how many days do I have left to live?"

"Ten days at most. My sister has a chronic poison in her body. If she hadn't been injured, she might have had a few months to live. But my sister was injured a few days ago and didn't receive timely treatment. Her internal injuries are serious, which has accelerated the speed of the poison in her body. I can't do anything."

"Ten days." Chu Min read these two words, and after a moment she suddenly laughed, "Ten days should be enough. Please don't tell Xiaotian about this, young lady."

Linlang frowned, but couldn't help asking, "Sister, was this injury caused by Fang Hai?"

Chu Min lowered her head, her voice already tinged with tears, "I was wrong about him."

Linlang closed her eyes and opened them after a long while.

"Before I leave, I will try my best to find a place for Xiaotian to settle down. What happens in the future will depend on his own ability. This is all I can do."

Chu Min raised her head quickly upon hearing this, tears suddenly bursting down her face, her lips trembling as she didn't know how to thank him. She knew that doing this would only cause trouble for others, but she was about to die and there was nothing she could do.

"Thank you, young lady. In my next life, Chu Min will work like a cow or a horse to repay your kindness."

Chu Min struggled to kowtow to Linlang, and Linlang did not stop her and accepted her kowtow.

"I will come here to take Xiaotian away tomorrow. Tell him everything you want to say tonight."

Linlang didn't want to look at Chu Min's face again, so she turned away, stood up and left the room. Seeing her come out, Tang Mumu hurriedly walked towards her.

"how's it going?"

Linlang didn't look at Tang Mumu, but squatted down to look at Fang Xiaotian, with a smile on her face, "Your mother has something to say to you. The sisters will leave first and come to see you tomorrow."

"Thank you, sister." Fang Xiaotian jumped back into the house. Linlang waited until his back disappeared before pulling Tang Mumu away.

They walked far outside the yard before Tang Mumu grabbed Linlang's hand and asked her to stop.

"Is the situation not good?"

Linlang clasped her fingers and said in a nonchalant tone, "It's too late to save him. There are at most ten days left."

Tang Mumu thought she had heard it wrong and repeated it: "Ten days?"

"Yes, Ten Days."

I don’t know why, but seeing Linlang’s indifferent look, Tang Mumu got very angry.

"Linlang, what do you mean?"

"What?" Linlang still had a smile on her face and looked up at the sky. "We should go back. We've been out for too long. Maybe they're getting anxious."

Tang Mumu turned her head and looked in the direction she had just left. In the end, she did not turn back. She could only think of a solution later.

Rong Yan and Rong Lou have been here for quite some time. If they haven't come back yet, I will really go out to look for them.

As soon as he saw the person, Rong Yan realized something was wrong, and hurried over to hold Tang Mumu's hand, looking concerned, "What's wrong?"

Tang Mumu shook her head weakly, not wanting Rong Yan to worry about anything else.

"What did you get? Linlang and I went to the gambling house today, but we didn't find out anything."

"Gambling house?" Although he was prepared, Rong Yan was still shocked when he heard Tang Mumu's words, "How can you go to a place like a gambling house so easily? Have you ever been bullied?"

"No, what about you guys?"

Rong Yan and Rong Lou looked at each other, as if they had risked everything. Rong Yan did not hide anything, "My second brother and I went to the most romantic place in Xiling. Although we did not get any news about Zhongli Mei, we got to know Xie Ze, the third prince of Xiling. We also found out that no one in the Xiling Dynasty has seen Zhongli Mei yet."

Tang Mumu nodded and said, "It's not a complete loss. As long as Zhong Limei hasn't chosen a side, things won't be too bad. We still have a chance."

Rong Yan frowned slightly, looking somewhat dissatisfied, and pulled Tang Mumu back to the house. Linlang felt that she had nothing to do, so she turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Rong Lou.

"Where?"

"Go out for a walk."

"Don't forget that the purpose of our trip is not to meet old friends. Our every move may bring disaster. You should stay at home."

Linlang didn't want to say more to him, but she always remembered not to get angry with him, let alone fight with him. She forced herself to smile, which was uglier than crying, "Don't worry, my husband, I'm just going out for a walk. I will definitely be home before dark. I won't reveal my identity, and I won't do anything to bring trouble."

Linlang's behavior made Ronglou at a loss as to how to respond. He thought she was going to take the opportunity to fight with him again, so he would have a reason to force her to stay. However, she was so well-behaved that he had nothing to say.

Even though I was unwilling, I let her go.

After returning to the room, Tang Mumu shook off Rong Yan's hand and tried to keep her voice steady, "What's wrong with you? My hand is hurt."

"Aren't you angry that I go to places of entertainment?"

So that was the matter. Tang Mumu really didn't want to argue with him about it at the moment.

"You went to the brothel to do serious business, and I'm not someone who makes trouble for no reason, so I naturally won't be really angry with you."

"But..." Rong Yan's face darkened, but he didn't know how to refute her. Although he was doing his job, Tang Mumu's reaction was not what he wanted.

She doesn't care about going to places of entertainment, which only means that she doesn't care about herself that much.

When he thought of this, Rong Yan felt as if his body was being scratched by hundreds of ants and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

Recently he always felt that he was becoming more and more impatient, and sometimes what he did was clearly beyond his control, just like at this moment, he didn't want to be angry with Tang Mumu, but he just couldn't help being angry.

"What's wrong with you?" Tang Mumu saw that his reaction was wrong and held his hand. "I'm really not angry. I know you went to the brothel for serious business. I believe in you and the relationship between us, so I'm not angry."

Rong Yan exerted force on his hands until Tang Mumu cried out in pain. Only then did Rong Yan come to his senses. He quickly lifted up Tang Mumu's hand to look at it, with a frown on his face.

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt anymore."

Rong Yan looked at her hands over and over again, and his eyes turned red at the red marks on her hands.

"I'm really fine, don't be like this." Tang Mumu quickly held Rong Yan's hand again, rubbed it against his chest, looked up at him and smiled sweetly, "I'm really fine, it doesn't hurt at all."

Rong Yan pulled Tang Mumu to sit down at the table, and after a while he said anxiously, "I feel like something is wrong these days. Sometimes I find it hard to control my emotions, just like just now. I didn't mean to do that, but I couldn't control myself. I didn't know I would get angry."

Tang Mumu quickly touched Rong Yan's forehead with her hand, then touched her own forehead, and found the temperature was normal.

"Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

It is not yet the full moon night, and the centipede poison has not yet broken out, so it should not be the cause of the poison in his body breaking out.

"Never."

"That's probably because there have been too many things going on recently, and you are eager to achieve the purpose of this trip, so it's inevitable that you will become impatient."

Rong Yan had a heavy burden on his shoulders, and he also had to be on guard against Emperor An's influence affecting him. His nerves were tense and it was inevitable that he would be irritable.

"Don't push yourself too hard. I haven't seen my master yet, so my father's people won't do anything to me. I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me."

"Ah."

Seeing that Rong Yan was still absent-minded, Tang Mumu avoided the topic and pestered Rong Yan to tell her what he had learned from his visit to the brothel today and how he had met several beautiful girls. Rong Yan immediately became cautious, fearing that something she said would anger her.
