Cute But Brutal Wife
Chapter 404: We Don't Lose This
The day passed quickly.
After dinner, everyone continued to work.
It was only at ten o'clock that Li Yan arrived.
Li Yan walked into the herbal refining room and saw that Chu Luo was still busy. He asked, “Luoluo, do you need my help?”
Chu Luo looked at him and smiled at him. “Not needed. Break for a while.”
Li Yan stood beside him and accompanied him to look at the medicine brewed inside the cauldron. Chu Luo said, “The herbs that the Sun family brought in need to be boiled until tomorrow. I have to be on guard tonight.”
Li Yan touched her cheek and said, “I will accompany you.”
Chu Luo subconsciously rubbed her face into her palm. “Are you not busy tomorrow?”
“Nearly finished.”
“When do we leave?”
“We'll leave tomorrow night.”
This time, the two of them planned to leave secretly, so Chu Luo did not tell the Sun family. However, after going there, it was a different matter if the two sides could meet.
Chu Luo pointed at the brewed potion in the two small furnaces beside her and winked her eyes mischievously. “One pot of these two herbal pots for Sun Tianhao at his request. The other pot is ours. The herbs he found were of good quality. We will divide by half and consider it as his consultation fee.”
Li Yan looked at him amusedly. Looking at his appearance who likes to dirty money, he said, “We are not short of this.”
Chu Luo pursed her nose at him. “There is an unwritten rule in the world of poison making that once you help people concoct large quantities of bidders, you will have to pay the appropriate consultation fee. Otherwise, the poison effect would be greatly reduced. I'm helping him.”
Li Yan nodded.
Chu Luo asked again, “Is Sun Tianhao still in the living room?”
Sun Tianhao and the others were grinding medicinal powder or cutting herbs in the living room. Chu Luo had been in the herbal purification room and had no idea what was happening outside.
“Ya.”
When Li Yan entered, Sun Tianhao deliberately looked at her for a while. That gaze made Li Yan almost make someone throw her away.
Chu Luo did not ask any further.
The two talked for a while. After the first medicinal pot was made, Chu Luo did not come out and asked Li Yan to help her obtain the herbs.
Everyone spent the entire night busying themselves.
It was not until the past ten o'clock the next day that Chu Luo finished refining all the pills.
When he handed Sun Tianhao a few bottles of pills, he was still in disbelief. “Chu Luo, you really finished fixing all the remedies.”
Although Sun Tianhao knew that Chu Luo was capable, under normal circumstances, even with machines, it would take several days to complete the workload. However, he did so in less than a day. That was amazing.
Chu Luo did not bother to answer Sun Tianhao's question. He told her when to use the pill. And also, if he discovered a large group of insects, how could this herb be used. He then kicked her out. “You can go.”
Sun Tianhao was still very wise. He nodded and said to her, “You haven't slept all night. Rest first.”
With that, he left with his men.
After Sun Tianhao and the others left, the butler walked over.
The butler said to the two of them, “Master, Miss Chu, Eldest Master Duanmu called this morning.”
“What did he say?”
Chu Luo did not think that the Duanmu family would look for them for anything good.
Indeed, the butler said, “Master Duanmu said that they would send a group of people to the northwest to save people. He wanted to ask Miss Chu to help him make a number of medicines.”
“How do they know I know how to concoct medicine?”
Li Yan told him, “It is no secret that you saved Old Master Sun and even brought your teacher. Moreover, the Sun family had caused quite a commotion during these past two days. It is not difficult for them to know.”
“So what if they know?” Either way, whether he agreed or not was his business. “The Duanmu family is very interesting. Did they forget that they kept you in their house the day before yesterday? Thinking they still have a face to ask me to help them fix the medicine today ... Butler, how do you answer?"
“Miss Chu, you've been busy recently. You may not have time to concoct medicine.”
Chu Luo nodded.
Li Yan wrapped her arms around her shoulder and said, “Have a rest for a few hours. We'll go tonight.”
“Good.”
Not long after Chu Luo and Li Yan laid on the bed, Li Yan's phone rang.
He took it to see her and turned off the phone.
Chu Luo had just woken up when the sky was about to darken.
At this moment, Li Yan was already awake and out. He got out of bed, took a shower, and walked downstairs.
Li Yan instructed the butler to do something in the living room.
When Chu Luo descended, she heard her phone ring.
The phone's on the butler. When the butler saw her coming down, he handed her the phone.
Chu Luo picked up the phone and answered the call.
Nangong Yi's faint voice could be heard. “Junior, Student Union has received many invitations for you over the past two days. They invite you to participate in various robot associations. When are you free to come and take it back?”
Chu Luo said, “Let it be there for now. I won't be free these few days.”
Nangong Yi: “OK.”
Nangong Yi asked again, “Junior, a member of the Student Union from various countries wants to treat you to a meal. Can you spare some time one night?”
Chu Luo said, “Tell them that I will have time after they finish learning the Empire language. I'll treat them then.”
Nangong Yi laughed when he heard this. “Good.”
Both of them hung up.
Chu Luo put down her phone and walked over to Li Yan.
Li Yan said to her, “Eat first. After dinner, we will return to Li's residence and take a helicopter ride.”
Chu Luo nodded.
The two of them had just eaten when Li Yan's phone suddenly rang. He took it and his expression darkened.
“What's wrong?”
“Someone sneaked into where Neeson was locked up.”
“Could someone want to take him away again? Or maybe its own people?”
Usually, it must have been Neeson's own men.
“If his men want to take him away at this time, they should also go to the northwest. Why don't we bring Neeson too?”
“No.”
Li Yan did not like the way Neeson looked at Chu Luo. “If we take such a person out, he might run away. Why don't we use the robot to find a way?”
Chu Luo thought about it and felt that this was a good idea, so she nodded.
Li Yan said to the person on the other end, “Let him go.”
After dinner, the two of them left the old district and returned to Li's residence.
It was early winter, and the weather had turned cold. The temperature difference between day and night is huge.
Li Yan left with nearly 30 people this time.
These people are obviously very skilled. Each of them carried a large backpack.
Li Yan took out two backpacks from the butler. They were his and Chu Luo's.
Chu Luo took out two backpacks and stuffed them into a Heaven-and-Earth pouch. He only gave her a bottle of medicine to keep at all times.
The two of them quietly left the capital.
On the other side.
The Duanmu residence.
The masters of the Duanmu family were all gathered in the study. Even the third generation men from the Duanmu family (except Duanmu Rui, who had already left) were all present. They were discussing their journey to the northwest.
Duanmu Ze said with a displeased expression, “Li Yan's woman is obviously unwilling to concoct medicine for us. Hmph! Don't they know that we already know that he made medicine for the Sun family?”
Second Master Duanmu's expression wasn't too good either. “Be that. She's just a little girl. I can't believe that he's as strong as the lord our family hired.”
Duanmu Tian glanced at their expressions and a cold glint flashed across his peach blossom eyes. He said, “There are a lot of people there this time. Li Yan did not accept our family invitation. Do you think he really won't leave after hearing such an enthralling rumor? Maybe he's ready to go alone.”
The others were silent for a moment. Eldest Master Duanmu asked Duanmu Tian, “Didn't Xiao Rui ask you to plant someone to approach Chu Luo? You asked that person to test Chu Luo. Since Li Yan went there, Chu Luo would definitely go.”
Duanmu Tian nodded and took out his phone to dial the number.
After the call was over, he told the person about the matter.
After hanging up the phone, everyone continued the discussion.
Third Master Duanmu said, “On the surface, the Sun family went this time to help find the archaeological team. They probably already had designs on the ancient tomb in secret. I think we should be wary of the Sun.” family
“Hmph! Family Sun.”
Second Master Duanmu snorted in disdain. “They keep saying that Old Master Sun has been healed by Chu Luo, but have you ever seen Old Master appear before the world? It might just be a facade. As long as Old Master Sun leaves this world and the pillar of support of the Sun family disappears, it is only a matter of time before we take back our military power.”
“Then, why don't we send another group of people to disguise themselves as people from other families and destroy them in the desert?” Duanmu Ze had a cruel expression.
Duanmu Tian added, “And Li Yan and his wife. If they really go there, we will bring more experts there. I can't believe that so many people can't deal with that woman.”
At this point, a sharp glint flashed across his eyes. “As long as we get rid of Li Yan, the Duanmu family we can directly take over the Blazing Glory Company. At that time, do we still need money in that tomb?”
When the others heard this, a glint flashed across their eyes.
At this time, Eldest Master Duanmu reminded, “Don't let Old Master know about this. He was already unhappy when we checked Li Yan the day before yesterday. If he knew about this, he would definitely be even more unhappy.”
“I really don't know what Grandpa thinks. Li Yan was just a businessman. Since Grandfather helped him, he should be grateful and become the slave of our Duanmu family. Grandpa shouldn't be so polite to such an ungrateful person.”
