The Rising Phoenix-Chapter 149: The Cat Is Out Of The Bag Now

"What? Why don’t you tell me before?" Bai Xifeng shouted.

"I think I did mention to you before. You probably did not pay attention to what I had been telling you." Baishe said.

"No wonder, no matter how much I practice I can not advance." Bai Xifeng sighed.

"You need to be a 5-rank pharmacist in order to refine the elixir that could cure the poison," Baishe stated.

"Hey, tell me. Why do I feel it was not a poison but a seal?" Bai Xifeng asked.

Baishe was silent for a moment. It needed Bai Xifeng seemed to notice something.

"Well, it is okay if you don’t want to tell me." Bai Xifeng did not want to overheat her mind.

She was confident that Baishe would not cause harm to her. She needed to practice her pharmacist skills.

She needed to change her plan. She needed to advance before going to see her father and brother.

She was thinking of asking Shen Shoushan to live in this courtyard for a few days. Here, she did not have to think about anything. It was the best environment for her.

She remembered that Shen Shoushan would confront Mo Shuang today. She wondered what had happened. She did not want to be a busybody.

At the main hall, Mo Shuang was surprised to see Ren Liqiu sitting beside Shen Shoushan while looking at her.

’She already awake? But how? She is not supposed to be awake by to die. Is that young man really cure Ren Liqiu?’ Mo Shuang clicked her tongue subconsciously.

"Mo Shuang, come here." Madam Shen called her.

Mo Shuang was a little bit happy when Madam Shen cared about her. She glanced at Ren Liqiu to show that Ren Liqiu was nothing to Madam Shen compared to her.

"Mo Shuang, where did you go just now?" Master Shen asked.

Master Shen looked straight at Mo Shuang. He could not believe what Shen Shoushan said to him.

Mo Shuang seemed to plot something to harm his family members. Master Shen would not allow that to happen.

When Mo Shuang came over to visit them, Master Shen just allowed her to stay to accompany his wife because he knew that his wife was alone after Ren Liqiu fell into a coma.

He never investigated anything about Mo Shuang because she came from Mo’s family, his wife’s family.

He never thought that Mo Shuang seemed to be scheming to enter his house.

Mo Shuang was surprised to hear the question. But she calmed herself.

"I just go out to buy some medicine." Mo Shuang stated.

"What? Shuang-er, are you sick? You can just call our pharmacist to treat you." Madam Shen showed some concern to Mo Shuang.

"Thank you, Auntie." Mo Shuang just smiled.

Shen Shoushan interrupted. "If our pharmacist cannot cure you, I will call Sir Long to treat you. Since he is successfully healing my beloved wife."

Mo Shuang saw the smile on Shen Shoushan’s lips. Look like he was mocking her. She clenched her fists under the sleeve.

"Mo Shuang, you better tell the truth." Master Shen clapped his thigh.

"Husband?" Madam Shen looked confused. She did not understand why her husband was like this to her niece.

"Mo Lanying, you keep silent. I am asking Mo Shuang right now." Master Shen warned Madam Shen to keep her mouth shut.

Madam Shen looked surprised when she followed her husband’s order. She looked at Mo Shuang for an answer.

Mo Shuang knew that she could not keep the secret a secret. A smile appeared on Mo Shuang.

"The cat is out of the bag now." Mo Shuang said. She then turned to Ren Liqiue. "What a pity that you did not die."

"Mo Shuang!" Shen Shoushan glared sharply at Mo Shuang.

"So, is it true that you hired thugs to extract the information from Sir Long?" Master Shen asked again.

"Yes. I want the information to plan something. Unfortunately, that pharmacist is safe. He was lucky to have a bodyguard to protect him. Tsk..." Mo Shuang clicked her tongue.

"Shuang-er?" Madam Shen looked at Mo Shuang. "Why do you do something like that?"

"Why? Because I want a position beside your son." Mo Shuang said.

Madam Shen looked shocked.

"If that man did not come over, Ren Liqiu would die and my plan would be successful." Mo Shuang blurted up.

"Humph... Even if my wife is not by my side, I will never be married to someone like you." Shen Shoushan stated.

"Tell me how that young man cured Ren Liqiu. The parasite should not come over easily." Mo Shuang stated.

Shen Shoushan who listened to the word parasite instantly stood up and attacked Mo Shuang.

Mo Shuang did not expect the attack from Shen Shoushan. So, the attack was straight on her body. She coughed some blood.

Shen Shoushan was stronger than her. So, Mo Shuang took much damage from the hit.

"Shoushan?" Master Shen did not understand what was going on which made Shen Shoushan attack Mo Shuang right away.

Shen Shoushan did not want Mo Shuang to run away. So, he called someone to tie Mo Shuang up.

"Father, Mother, actually, Liqiu was not sick but something entered her body and ate her body." Shen Shoushan told his parent.

He did not explain this in detail before this. He just told his parent that his wife had been cured by Bai Xifeng.

"What?" Both Master Shen and Madam Shen were shocked.

"I see all of the treatment that Sir Long had done to Liqiu. He took out something from Liqiu’s body. And that thing was alive even after being taken out of Liqiu’s body." Shen Shoushan stated.

He continued. "Sir Long did not know the origin of the parasite. So, she did not know how the parasite could enter Liqiu’s body. I thought it came from the swamp that Liqiu fell into before she went into a coma. However, after hearing the word parasite from this woman’s mouth, I think Liqiu became like that because of her."

Master Shen narrowed his eyes while looking at Mo Shuang. Madam Shen did not believe that her niece would do something like that.

"But Shuang-er came to our manor after Liqiu went into the coma." Madam Shen stated.

"I know. She might have done something before that." Shen Shoushan stated.

"But..." Madam Shen wanted to speak again.

"Mother. She had harmed my wife, your daughter-in-law. Why do you want to speak on her behalf?" Shen Shoushan argued.

He was disappointed when his mother was still wanting to try to defend Mo Shuang.

Madam Shen was speechless. She knew that. But Mo Shuang was from his maiden family. If something happened to her, she needed to answer her maiden family.

"Mo Lanying, I know she is from your maiden family. But you are part of the Shen Family now. You need to prioritise your current family. If you can not do it, you can leave this family and return to your maiden family." Master Shen looked at his wife.

Madam Shen was shocked when Master Shen threatened to divorce her. No! There was no way that she would divorce her husband.

"Husband, you can not divorce me. I don’t want to get divorced." Madam Shen shook her head.

"Then, keep your mouth shut now." Master Shen said.

Madam Shen became obedient. She was feeling apologetic to Mo Shuang that she could not help her right now.

"Mo Shuang, you better tell everything." Shen Shoushan demanded the truth.

Mo Shuang who had been tied up and became weak after getting attacked by Shen Shoushan looked straight at Shen Shoushan.

"I will not tell you anything." Mo Shuang said.

"Okay. I will make you spill out everything." Shen Shoushan snorted at Mo Shuang. Then he shouted. "Guards, come in."

The guards were already standing outside and entered the main hall. Mo Shuang looked over. No wonder when she entered the main hall earlier, she could see the guards outside. Shen Shoushan must be planning to catch her from the start.

"Bring her to our prison. Don’t give her any food or water. I want to see how strong her will is." Shen Shoushan snorted.

"Let me go! Let me go!" Mo Shuang wanted to escape by struggling.

But the guards were much stronger than her. The strong that she was proud of was nothing in front of the guards.
