n

nIt took a few minutes before a bunch of data appeared on the virtual screen.

n

nZi Yi looked at the data and her brows furrowed together tightly.

n

n“Zi, what exactly happened to Dou?”

n

nZi Yi looked at Dou Xiangling who was convulsing in pain. She walked to her side and leaned over. “Cousin, don’t be afraid. I’ll try to cure your illness.”

n

nDou Xiangling was in so much pain that she could not utter a single word. However, out of instinct, she stretched out her hand to her.

n

nZi Yi grabbed onto her outstretched hand

n

nDou Xiangling’s only said a word with her trembling lips, “… Time…”

n

nZi Yi’s eyes turn red. “Don’t worry, it won’t delay my wedding with Ah Jing.”

n

n“I’ll seal the worm on your heart elsewhere. You can rest assured that when you open your eyes again, it will have been taken out.”

n

nDou Xiangling’s lips trembled and it took her a long time before she let out a faint breath.

n

n“Shadow, the silver needles.”

n

nShadow took out a whole set of silver needles and spread them out next to Zi Yi. She quickly inserted the needles into several acupuncture points and Dou Xiangling passed out.

n

nSubsequently, Zi Yi took out a particularly thin and long silver needle.

n

n“Zi!” Ian got a fright. “You’re intending to insert this needle into Dou’s heart?”

n

n“Yes.”

n

n“It won’t do. The heart is very fragile and something will happen if you do that!”

n

n“I’m only going to stop the worm from moving around.”

n

n“Can you guarantee that you will only hit the worm?”

n

nThere was no equipment here and Ian was really worried.

n

nIn the event she stabbed the wrong place and inserted the needle into the heart… he dared not imagine the consequences.

n

nZi Yi looked at him with a grim expression. “She’s my cousin. I care more about her life than you.”

n

nShe then said, “Turn your head to the other side.”

n

nShe needed to remove Dou Xiangling’s top to insert the needle.

n

nIan pondered for a few seconds and finally turned to face his back towards them.

n

nZi Yi quickly unbuttoned Dou Xiangling’s clothes. Sure enough, she found something squirming under her skin near her heart.

n

nWhen the needle fell, it directly stopped the moving worm.

n

nThe worm struggled continuously as if about to pierce through the layer of skin.

n

nZi Yi called out to Shadow. “Pill.”

n

nShadow took out a pill and passed it to Zi Yi.

n

nShe then fed the pill into Dou Xiangling’s mouth.

n

nOnly then did she button up her top.

n

n“Ian.”

n

nOnce Zi Yi was done, she called Ian.

n

nIan responded and she said, “I more or less know what’s going on with my cousin.”

n

n“What’s the situation?” Ian subconsciously turned around.

n

n“She was infected with a parasite.”

n

n“Parasite?” As someone from an aristocratic family who had also stayed in this country for a year, he had also heard of the term. “Do parasites really exist in your country?”

n

n“Yes.”

n

n“Then what should we do? I heard that a single parasite contains hundreds of poisons in its body. What about Xiangling?” At the thought of Dou Xiangling’s appearance of struggling in pain, he felt his heart clench tightly.

n

nZi Yi said, “I will find a way to get rid of the parasite in my cousin’s body. But before that, please don’t tell anyone about her condition.”

n

nIan furrowed her brows. “Even if I remain silent, others will find out very soon.”

n

n“They won’t.” Zi Yi looked at the robot who was helping her carry her dress and said, “I will get my robot to replace her for the time being.”

n

n“Won’t the Dou Family notice that it’s not her?”

n

n“My robot naturally has a way to get away with it.”

n

nIan originally wanted to ask how, but his phone started ringing.

n

nHe took out his phone and said, “Lu is calling again.”

n

nZi Yi quickly went towards the door and said, “Remember, don’t mention this to anyone. I will get my robot to secretly move my cousin away.”

n

nIan responded after a few seconds. “Okay.”

n

nZi Yi soon returned to the living room.

n

nEveryone was talking about her just then.

n

n“Could it be that Yiyi is having a stomachache? Why isn’t she back yet?”

n

n“Little Lu, give her another call and ask.”

n

n“I think I’ll go and check on her.”

n

nJust as Dou Yurui was about to walk away, she saw Zi Yi and Dou Xiangling walking over in large strides.

n

nDou Yurui hastily said, “Yiyi’s here.”

n

nZi Yi only slowed down her footsteps when she reached the door.

n

nEveryone’s line of sight was on her.

n

nZi Yi said with a calm expression, “We can leave now.”

n

nHaving said that, she walked to Lu Jingye’s side.

n

nAt this moment, it was obvious that no one would say anything. In particular, the First Madam even said with a smile, “Then we’ll let the two newlyweds set off now.”

n

nThe sounds of firecrackers and drums sounded from the door.

n

nZi Yi turned around and said to Elder Dou, “Grandpa, I’ll be leaving with Ah Jing.”

n

nElder Dou smiled and nodded his head. “Go ahead.”

n

nThe two of them walked to the wedding car parked outside the courtyard while everyone said words of blessing to them.

n

nAfter they got in the car, the car started and it was followed by a long stretch of cars following behind it.

n

nWhen the car drove out, Lu Jingye suddenly held Zi Yi’s hand which was covered by the wide sleeves. He noticed that her hand was trembling.

n

nHe tightened his grip on her hand.

n

nZi Yi looked at her and said, “She’s infected with a parasite. If my guess is right, it’s a love parasite.”

n

nZi Yi had informed Lu Jingye about this matter when she sent out red packets to her bridesmaid. Lu Jingye had immediately sent someone to investigate. “I’ve already sent people to investigate the person who called her. The person will be found very soon.”

n

nZi Yi nodded her head.

n

nLu Jingye added. “You have to believe in your abilities. Nothing will happen to your cousin with you around.”

n

nZi Yi looked into his eyes.

n

nLu Jingye raised his hand to her lips and wiped the corner with his thumb. “Your lipstick is smeared.”

n

nLu Jingye took out a lipstick from a makeup bag and helped her reapply her lipstick. After he was done, she asked, “Why did you bring the makeup bag into the car?”

n

nLu Jingye said to her in a serious manner, “There will be many guests today and many of them are our elders. No matter what, we have to hold this wedding in a proper manner… You are the most beautiful bride in the world.”

n

nZi Yi nodded at his words. “Okay.”

n

nLu Jingye breathed a sigh of relief.

n

nAfter the car drove a distance away, Zi Yi suddenly noticed that they had taken the wrong route and she asked in surpris, “Ah Jing, why are we taking this road?”

n

n“The venue of our wedding has been changed to our parent’s residence.”

n

n“Ah?”

n

nLu Jingye raised his hand to touch her face as he said, “Father said that he had wronged Mother during her wedding back then. If we let this repeat, and let you suffer such an injustice, both of us would be unworthy of being your father-in-law and husband.”

n

nIn fact, Lu Jianlin had already had this thought ages ago. However, he had never taken action because he wanted to fool Patriarch Lu.

n

nThe Lu Family people had always listened to Patriarch Lu but in the end, it ended up making everyone feel disappointed with him.

n

nTherefore, he had discussed this arrangement with Lu Jingye in private long ago.

n

nThe father and son duo acted in secret without telling everyone.

n

nWhen Zi Yi heard what he said, she said, “To think that Father had even managed to fool Mother.”

n

n“Mother would always go out early and return late at night. She did not pay attention to her surroundings.”

n

n“Then when did you set up the wedding venue?”

n

n“A few days back.”

n

n“Did you manage to finish it?”

n

n“All the arrangements are done. Even though it’s not as advanced as the villa near M.Uni, you won’t be disappointed.”

n

nZi Yi nodded her head and was somewhat looking forward to it.
