Chapter 18 Departure

Luo Beichen whose found was full with the crystal shrimp spoke, " To meet you of course, don't say I can't even come to your house now that you have married?. "

"Stop fooling answer my question properly. " Dong Shen said, it looked as if an adult was reprimanding a child.

"Sister in law look look... Look at him now that he is married he doesn't have this little brother who has fought with him through thick and thin , rain and drought hail and strom anymore! Sister in law now I only have you, you won't despise me would you? " Spoke Luo Beichen in an aggrived tone.

Dong Shen felt a twitch in hand wanting to spank Luo Beichen to death, seeing the glare Dong Shen was giving his way, Luo Beichen quivered, 'did he go overboard today. '

"Brother in law don't worry the Shen Manir is always open to you, you are always welcome here and eat food to your hearts content, don't take his highness to heart, he is recently in very grumpy mood." Spoke Qin Xu sharing the same look of understanding as Luo Beichen.

"It's sister in law who is still the best."Luo Beichen praised, nor forgetting to smirk proudly at Dong Shen when Qin Xu was not looking.

Qin Xu nodded her head in agreement while her mouth was filled with apricot nuts looking like a little cute hamster.

Luo Beichen found her look quite cute, alas his seventh cousin was so cold towards such a cute girl, tsk tsk what a pity.

'The one who has it all doesn't even value it, seems that the saying is true only when one doesn't have it or lose it is that they realize how lucky they were. ' while he was thinking along these lines he looked at Dong Shen with pity in his eyes.

Dong Shen who was looked down upon. "... " What's with that look.

After the breakfast was done, Qin Xu went towards the rock garden for a walk and Dong Shen dragged Luo Beichen towards his study.

"Now be civil and speak your purpose. " Dong Shen spat in clearly an irritated voice.

Luo Beichen rolled his eyes but still spoke, "I heard that you have news of a great poison doctor? "

"I don't. "

"Then why is Shen Ji looking for information about these items. " Asked Luo Beichen after putting on the slip on the table in front of him.

Dong Shen looked at the slip it was the same that Qin Xu have written obviously he knew how Luo Beichen found out because Shen Ji might have gone to Luo medical hall to enquire about these medicine and Luo Beichen found out.

"To treat my poison. " Said Dong Shen.

"You mean you found the antidote for your poison?. " Asked Luo Beichen with anticipation in his voice.

"Umm hmm. " Dong Shen replied with a curt nod.

"How, how did you find out? " asked Luo Becihen again.

"It was Qin Xu she said she knew the antidote." Dong Shen spoke although even he could not believe he believed in that women so easily what if she made things worse for him anyway he still chose to trust her this once.

"You believe her? " Asked Luo Beichen with shock , he thought with Dong Shen's personality of being cold and wary of others he might not believe in a women easily but it seems like beauty trap is no joke Qin Xu really mesmerized him with her beauty. Alas it looks all men think with their ahem ahem... '

"For now, we have made a deal. " Said Dong Shen.

"What deal? " Asked Luo Beichen with curiosity.

"That's between me and her and it's none of your business. " Replied Dong Shen with a smug look on his face."

"So do you think she can also treat my mom?" Asked Luo Beichen hope palpable in his voice.

"I don't know, you ll have to ask her but not now as we are leaving to search for these items, also make sure that no one realises what I am going to search for. " Ordered Dong Shen.

"Dont worry brother Shen, rest assured with me here I will mislead them even if they found out something is fishy. "

"Good I don't want to startle the snake by beating the grass it's good if we make them realise their plan is working and I am dying slowly. "

Luo Beichen also thought the same thing and currently he really hope that Qin Xu might have a solution for his mother's poisoning as well, it seems Dong Shen's poison was more sever than his mother's as Dong Shen could not use his cultivation at all and had a relapse of pain on every full moon.

"Brother Dong Shen I think all those rumors about sister in law doesn't looks as simple as it seem. " Said Luo Beichen all of a sudden .

"You also think so. " Of course Dong Shen k ew things were not so simple because it was totally impossible that Qin Xu who has just arrived in the Capital City and no more than fifteen days have passed since her arrival and already the whole Capital assumed that she was useless and ugly and even believed it.

It looked like someone deliberately spread those rumors and as far as he can see with Qin Xu 's Unparallal looks it worked in her own favour.

So could this deliberately fabricated rumors have been started from the Han mansion.

Dong Shen sneered, 'Good Qin Xu very good just yesterday I told you not to keep secrets from me Or do anything which might involve me and it looks like from the beginning you had me calculated this Fox women... Good when the time comes see how I deal with you.'

After discussing some court politics, Luo Beichen Scurried off to find Qin Xu he needed to ask her about his mother's situation and hoped that she will have a solution for it, unlike Dong Shen his mother's poisoning was not this extreme but it was sucking away her life force slowly.'
