“Is that so?” She asked again, “How long have you had me for?”

“Over a month.”

Fortunately, it wasn’t a long time. Her voice didn’t waiver as she continued to ask, “Have we…?” “Have we what?”

“That… ‘

“What?” he seemed to be either genuinely ignorant or just playing dumb.

The corner of her mouth twitched, she decided to just put it bluntly, “Have we slept together?”

“Oh, yes.” He grinned, showing all his pearly whites. She was almost always there with him on his ‘bed.’

“Even though I am so dirty, so ugly, so disgusting, you touched me too?” She struggled to maintain her composure, her lungs felt like they were about to burst.

He stared at her soft, tender lips, “My dear wife, don’t be so hard on yourself, I’ve never found you… who else should I touch if not you?” In truth, he never touched her; her frustrated little face was all the more expressive and inviting, so he couldn’t resist teasing her.

She shivered with anger and managed to growl out, “Do you know why I brought you here?”

“To take a romantic bath together, of course.” His reply was matter of fact.

Grabbing his hand, she quickly threw him into the river; his body soared in an arc.

With a splash, the peaceful river surface was stirred.

He plunged headfirst into the river.

His face almost hit the bottom of the river, and when he finally surfaced, he could only hear his wife’s voice, sweet as a songbird’s call.

“Last time I ‘threw myself into the river,’ this time it’s your turn. In a while, I will tell people that you couldn’t bear it, and you drowned yourself.”

“My dear, you’re too cruel! Are you planning to murder your husband?” Soaked, he rose from the river, looking distraught, “My dear, I can swim, I won’t drown…” He felt something was off, “My dear, you’re so thin, where did you get the strength to throw me…?”

She ignored him and headed back.

He called after her, “Dear, wait for me, if you wanted to see my wet figure, you just had to say so. I would have jumped into the river by myself, no need for you to do anything…”

Su Qingyue didn’t look at his mouth, and she couldn’t hear him.

After a few steps, she stopped again.

Xiao Yuchuan, chasing after her, bumped into her back, “Dear, why did you suddenly stop? Luckily, I am much taller than you; otherwise, I would’ve hit my nose. If it were flattened, I wouldn’t look handsome anymore…”

She turned around to glare at him, then returned her gaze to a few stalks of water bamboo by the river. On the bamboo leaves hanging over the river, there were several spiderwebs, each with a spider crawling in it.

The bodies of these spiders were covered in green fuzz and measured about four centimeters in length, with slightly longer legs around one and a half centimeters. These were the poisonous spiders found near the river!

These spiders had venomous stingers and poison glands. When they bit a human, the poison secreted by their glands would cause paralysis of the central nervous system. A light bite would cause local swelling, a heavy bite would cause whole-body poisoning, and in severe cases, death.

“Dear, what are you looking at?” Xiao Yuchuan followed her gaze, “People in the village have been bitten by these types of spiders before; they caused huge red sores. Thev are D0isonous. vou should keeD vour distance.”

Su Qingyue didn’t know what he was saying, but she looked around and found that these spiders were also on the weeds by the river.

This was wonderful!

The juice from these poisonous spiders could be used in medicine to treat snake bites, burns, sores, and stomach ailments. She could catch these spiders and use them to heal the pus sores on her face.

However, she would need a container to hold the spider juice.

With that, she quickly walked towards the Xiao family’s house and arrived back within five or six minutes..
