The seemingly lazy wife is a master of metaphysics, specializing in dealing with those who dare to d

Despite her injured face and disheveled appearance, Qiao Nianyu's intelligence reached an unprecedented level.

She had already noticed something amiss from the subtle flirting between Junyao and Dacai.

After she took the shiny, plastic-looking, egg-sized crystal from Da Cai's arms, her strange feeling intensified.

I have a feeling that Qiao Junyao got her hands on some weird stuff from somewhere!

Qiao Nianyu was very curious.

But she also knew that she couldn't get the truth out of him just by talking.

Why don't we take this first? We can use it to blackmail Qiao Junyao later!

Qiao Nianyu continued to feign grievance and anger, and followed Jun Yao into the Linshui Mansion.

The maid brought in hot tea and snacks. Qiao Nianyu plopped down in the living room, but held onto the wish crystal tightly in her hand.

Jun Yao is not blind.

She could tell that Qiao Nianyu was deliberately putting on airs.

She was running out of patience at this point, thinking that she would only ask once anyway.

If Qiao Nianyu doesn't give her the things, she'll call her bodyguards over and resolve the matter by force!

Anyway, she's already been beaten once today.

Just give them another beating!

"Give me the stuff," Jun Yao commanded.

Qiao Nianyu was indeed being mischievous. Covering the crystal, she said with a distressed expression, "You said you'd solve my problem first! You haven't even asked me how I got the injury on my face! Why are you only concerned with this broken plastic toy of yours?"

Jun Yao was too lazy to waste words, so he waved his hand and directly signaled the two bodyguards in the living room to come over.

"Take my things back," she ordered.

Qiao Nianyu was startled, not expecting her to be so direct and violent.

"What are you doing?"

She sprang up from the sofa, clutching the crystal, and backed away repeatedly. "Can't you wait until I finish speaking? Hey! I'm warning you! Don't come any closer... I said! Don't come any closer! Don't touch me!"

Seeing that the Zhou family bodyguards only obeyed Jun Yao's orders and didn't care about her life or death at all.

Suddenly enraged, Qiao Nianyu smashed the crystal in her hand against the large antique vase in the living room!

Antique vases made of celadon are inherently fragile; they couldn't withstand such a smash.

The bottom of the vase shattered into pieces, which flew everywhere in the living room.

Seeing her causing such trouble, the two bodyguards quickened their pace in arresting her.

Junyao immediately rushed to the vase and picked up her crystal.

A powerful spiritual force flowed from her palm and through her entire body.

Junyao's eyes welled up with tears, and her heart raced.

However, when she looked up with joy, she saw that everyone else in the mansion's living room was deathly pale.

Especially the housekeeper.

"Madam, something terrible has happened..."

At the butler's exclamation, Jun Yao's wildly beating heart skipped a beat.

From the expressions of the Zhou family members, she suddenly understood how big a mess Qiao Nianyu had probably gotten into.

Everything in the Linshui Mansion is carefully arranged and furnished.

There's no reason to put such a large antique vase in the living room.

Qiao Nianyu has probably damaged the life-saving formation left by Master Liang Jingu!

If that's the case, then Zhou Yichuan?!

Half an hour later, Junyao arrived at the hospital under the Zhou Group.

In the VIP ward, I met Zhou Yichuan, whose vital signs were rapidly declining.

"Ah Yao, save Xiao Chuan!"

Even someone as composed as Madam Zhou was momentarily at a loss for words in the face of this unexpected situation.

She wept uncontrollably, as if she could already sense the impending collapse of the mountain.

Jun Yao stood blankly by the hospital bed, her face ashen.

She could sense that Zhou Yichuan's life was indeed slipping away rapidly.

It's like a plate full of sand that was originally in a glass container, but now it's all scattered on the ground. Any gust of wind can carry away some of the sand.

If this continues, Zhou Yichuan will die within 24 hours.

The wish crystal in Junyao's pocket was burning hot.

As if it had a life of its own, it sensed the need and quietly reminded Junyao.

However, Junyao made no move.

She could feel the wish crystal; even through her thick fleece pajamas, it radiated a temperature that felt like it was scalding her.

But she remained unmoved.

This crystal originally had a planned purpose.

It is meant to revive her comrades who once fought alongside her!

How can you use that on Zhou Yichuan just because there's been an unexpected situation?!

If she is so unprincipled and recklessly uses this crystal to save Zhou Yichuan, what will happen to her companions?

They were separated by life and death, and they had waited for three years. Should they continue to wait?

When will we be able to meet again?

Who knows if she will encounter other unforeseen circumstances beyond her control in the next three years?

Many things in this world can indeed be negotiated, coordinated, and resolved through communication.

But when it comes to saving lives, Junyao still hopes for a first-come, first-served principle.

We cannot let it continue to die just because its former companions are already dead.

As for Zhou Yichuan...

If he doesn't survive this ordeal, then it's his destiny.

After he dies, perhaps a new world will open up for him?

Capable people can survive anywhere.

If the underworld takes a liking to him, he might start as a judge.

It's not much different from him being born with a silver spoon in his mouth into the Zhou family in the mortal world.

Junyao thought about it more and more and it made sense. He took out his phone and sent a message to Wanlin, planning to order more Jinshan and Jinyuanbao.

She'll burn it for him as soon as Zhou Yichuan leaves!

Just like when he gave her the bank card!

She can also ensure that Zhou Yichuan has no worries about food and clothing for a certain period of time!

So, Junyao looked calmly at Madam Zhou, took her hand in return, and comforted her, "Grandma, don't worry, Master Liang will definitely have a way."

To Old Madam Zhou, Jun Yao's calmness appeared nothing but indifference.

She, who was always calm and composed, suddenly shoved Jun Yao hard.

"Why did I trust you so much before, only to be so disappointed in you?"

"Xiao Liang's master once said that if Xiao Chuan encounters a life-or-death crisis, as long as he asks the Qiao family girl for help, it will definitely be of some use!"

"He wouldn't lie to me! Over the years, he devoted himself to the Zhou family until his death, and the Zhou family, just as he wished, has supported his descendants and even these good-for-nothing disciples after his passing..."

"Everything that happened afterward fulfilled his prophecy!"

"And now you're telling me that to save Xiao Chuan, we need Liang Jingu..."

"It's because you didn't want to save him! You don't truly love him!"

Old Madam Zhou was in tears, and like a tree that had been felled in an instant, she lost her balance and fell to the side.

Two assistants tried to help her up, but they couldn't.

Old Madam Zhou eventually collapsed to the ground.

Tears streamed down her face, her eyes lifeless, as she murmured, "Twenty-seven years ago, they said that Xiaochuan was destined to have few relatives and few romantic ties in his life, but I didn't believe it..."

"He's the eldest grandson of our Zhou family. He had a head start over everyone else, so why is he destined for this fate?"
