Divine Physician, Overbearing Wife - Chapter 957

Chapter 957: Mu Ling is Timid III

“Oh, there’s nothing to say.” Feng Ruqing shrugged. “It’s just that Second Uncle has shown me around here yesterday. I have seen the spirit herbs here in some books before.”

Mu Ling was in doubt. Did she see them in just some books when even the two great masters failed to recognize them?

“For example, this Thousand Vines Orchid…”

Chen Qingyan panicked and started to feel fear creep into her body when she heard Feng Ruqing mention the Thousand Vines Orchid. She clenched her trembling fists tightly. She became more and more frightened.

She knew, she really knew. How was this possible?

How did Feng Ruqing know?!

“If the Thousand Vines Orchid is mixed with the Bloody Lotus Lingzhi, it can cause people to be unconscious and lethargic until the brain dies. Luckily, the old master’s strength was relatively strong. He was able to use his spiritual force to block a large part of the medicinal effect. If you want to make him brain-dead, it would take a long time.”

The old butler immediately heard Feng Ruqing’s words when he had just run in from outside the courtyard.

He was stunned at first and soon regained his composure. He was so angry that his eyes were about to burst out.

“There was Bloody Lotus Lingzhi in the medicine that the old master drank! No wonder the old master would be drowsy every time he drank it. So, it was you, Chen Qingyan!”

The old butler was the only person who had always supported the old master and had always stayed near him in the Mu family. He was extremely loyal to the old master.

After all, his life was saved by the old master. The old master had brought him back to the Mu family and made him his butler!

Mu Ling also knew the loyalty and importance of the old butler to the old master. Therefore, he still allowed the old butler to do his job and did not remove him from his post for so many years.

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Mu Ling was furious.

He could not endure someone falsely accusing Chen Qingyan.

He had promised Chen Qingyan that he would be responsible for her all his life and would never allow anyone to bully her when he had married her back then.

If he could not protect her now, how could he call himself a man?

Boom!

Nan Xian flipped his sleeves and suddenly, Mu Ling’s chest was hit by a strong spiritual force. Mu Ling took a few steps back and blood rushed out of his throat.

Feng Ruqing smiled and continued, “As for the Thousand Vines Orchid, it will cause the person to be sleepy in the day and be awake at midnight. It will also absorb the person’s spiritual qi and cause his strength to decline.”

The old butler grew angrier. “The old master’s strength has declined drastically ever since Chen Qingyan planted these flowers. No wonder she did not allow anyone to bother the old master at night. It was all because she wanted to murder the old master!”

Mu Ling’s face changed from dark to pale and then it became very dark.

He suddenly remembered that the old master’s strength had only begun to decline after the Spectral Flowers were planted.

It was indeed Qingyan who had sent people to guard the courtyard.

She said that no one was allowed to disturb him at night so that the old master could be well-rested.

Qingyan got angry when the old master had moved out of the courtyard. She kept asking Mu Ling to find a way to get the old master back to this courtyard.

But would Qingyan hurt the old master?

Impossible!

Qingyan could never do such a thing.

“There must be a misunderstanding. I don’t believe that Qingyan would do all of this. Besides, neither of the two masters recognize these flowers. How would you know?”

Feng Ruqing smiled. “If you don’t believe me, you can come and try to investigate in the middle of the night. However, you can’t blame me if your strength declines. By the way, the strength of these Spectral Flowers will increase after absorbing spiritual qi to a certain extent that they could even absorb the spiritual qi of the entire Tian Shen Manor.”
