86: Chapter 86 Yu Yan is my sister

"How should this Blood Exchange Method be carried out?"

Facing Su Ying's question, Meng Li spread his hands: "I don't know. Although I know of such a method, I don't know the specifics of how to perform it. If you want to know, you can go and ask someone."

"Who?" Su Ying asked hurriedly.

"Ghost Doctor Chang Bai Cao."

"Ghost Doctor Chang Bai Cao?"

"That's right." Meng Li confirmed, then explained: "As far as I know, Ghost Doctor Chang Bai Cao and Senior Su were equally famous back then, and the name of the Ghost Doctor even slightly overshadowed the Poison Queen. Most importantly..."

He paused for a moment, his expression strange as he said: "These two were once husband and wife."

Su Ying was stunned.

Beside her, Jiang Yu Feng also showed a look of surprise.

After a short while, Su Ying came back to her senses and asked seriously: "Is this true?"

Meng Li replied: "The rumors say so, but as for whether it's true or false? You can wait for Senior Su to wake up next time and ask her yourself. However, according to the rumors, the two of them had a huge falling out back then because of their competitiveness, even going so far as to make a vow."

"So, you might want to consider carefully how you ask about this."

After saying that, he glanced out the window, saw that the sky was starting to brighten, and took his leave: "It's almost dawn, I must head back. Farewell."

Su Ying did not try to keep him.

Her mind was a bit of a mess from the news Meng Li had told her.

Jiang Yu Feng hesitated to speak, but ultimately remained silent.

...

Meng Li exited through the window, and after getting his bearings, he returned to the Inn where he was staying.

Just as he was about to open the window to enter, he saw the window of the adjacent room open, and the one opening it was none other than Yu Yan.

"Husband!" Seeing Meng Li, Yu Yan cried out in pleasant surprise.

Meng Li smiled, made a shushing gesture, and then pointed toward the room.

Yu Yan understood immediately and shut the window at once. She then glanced at Xiao Baiyan on the bed, and seeing that she was still asleep, she went out on her own and walked to Meng Li's room.

As soon as Meng Li opened the door, she threw herself into his arms.

"Husband, why did you only just return?"

"I was so worried about you!"

Meng Li embraced her as they entered the room, closed the door, and then said softly: "I encountered some matters on the way which delayed me for a while, making you worry."

Yu Yan nuzzled against his chest and replied softly: "It's no matter, as long as you return safely."

After saying this, she seemed to sense something. Her nose twitched slightly as she sniffed carefully at Meng Li's person. Then, her large, sparkling eyes narrowed slightly, and she said with suspicion: "Husband, you..."

"You certainly have a sharp nose." Meng Li lightly tapped the tip of her nose with his finger, then laughed: "This is exactly what I encountered on the way."

As he spoke, he carried her over to sit by the bed and briefly explained how he had encountered Jiang Yu Feng and Su Ying on the way.

Only then did Yu Yan's doubts dissipate, but then her heart felt a chill, and she said with some lingering fear: "Based on the situation you described, Husband, that Jiang Biehe must have transferred the toxins produced by his Qi Deviation onto Jiang Yu Feng."

"To make his own biological daughter bear the consequences of his own sins, and even try to wipe her out completely, he truly has the face of a human but the heart of a beast!"

"To think my mother still thought of him fondly for all these years."

Meng Li stroked her hair and said nothing.

Yu Yan also stopped the topic at the right time, instead standing up and saying: "Husband, you haven't slept all night, rest for a while."

"Alright." Meng Li agreed softly.

Although with his current condition, not sleeping for ten days or half a month wouldn't be much of a problem, out of habit, he still felt it was better to sleep for a while. Moreover, since it was only just dawn, there was nothing else to do if he didn't sleep.

He had just taken off his outer coat and lain down when Yu Yan snuggled into his arms and closed her eyes with a beaming smile.

Meng Li gave a silent smile and closed his eyes to sleep.

With this sleep, by the time he woke up again, it was broad daylight.

The two were woken by noise—not just the bustle of the street outside, but also someone knocking on the door.

Meng Li put on his clothes and opened the door to see that the one knocking was Xiao Baiyan. Standing behind her were Su Ying and Jiang Yu Feng, whose appearance had been restored.

"Li'er, I just went down for breakfast and met these two young ladies; they said they were here to find you." Xiao Baiyan spoke, her expression a bit unnatural.

Because Su Ying did not know Xiao Baiyan, it was Jiang Yu Feng who had recognized and approached her because she had seen her at the Jiang Manor before.

Furthermore, the relationship between Xiao Baiyan and Jiang Yu Feng was a bit awkward. Logically, Jiang Yu Feng should call her Second Mother or Auntie, but her status had never been recognized, and she wasn't familiar with Jiang Yu Feng, so...

However, Xiao Baiyan had already given up on Jiang Biehe and knew that the situation couldn't be blamed on Jiang Yu Feng.

Therefore, aside from the awkwardness regarding their relationship, she didn't have any other negative emotions toward Jiang Yu Feng.

Meng Li nodded slightly. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Yu Yan had already dressed and finished tidying the bed, so he said to Su Ying and Jiang Yu Feng: "Come in and talk."

As he spoke, he moved aside.

Su Ying and Jiang Yu Feng stepped into the room, and seeing Yu Yan tidying the bed, they both froze for a moment.

Meng Li was also somewhat surprised.

Wasn't it just tidied a moment ago?

Why tidy it again?

In an instant, he understood.

Yu Yan was asserting her dominance!

He gave a silent smile and took the initiative to speak: "I forgot to introduce her during our first meeting earlier. This is my wife, Yu Yan."

Hearing this, Yu Yan's sparkling eyes instantly narrowed into crescents, and she followed up: "I know both of these ladies, Miss Su Ying and Miss Jiang Yu Feng."

Seeing this, Su Ying felt inexplicably uncomfortable, but she still replied with a smile: "Miss Yu Yan."

Jiang Yu Feng's expression was complex, and in the end, she only uttered two words: "Yu Yan."

Yu Yan's eyes flashed slightly. Thinking of their respective identities and Jiang Yu Feng's ordeal, she said nothing and instead looked toward Meng Li: "Husband, you were busy for so long last night and haven't had breakfast yet, you must be hungry. I'll go down and buy some right away."

"Have you two eaten? Would you like to join us?"

Su Ying and Jiang Yu Feng shook their heads one after another: "No need, we've already eaten."

"Then you all go ahead and chat."

With that, Yu Yan stepped out and pulled the door shut.

Xiao Baiyan also took the opportunity to leave with her.

Meng Li glanced at Jiang Yu Feng's face and praised Su Ying: "To have restored Miss Jiang's appearance so quickly, Miss Su's medical skills are indeed brilliant."

Su Ying smiled: "It's just that the conditions were sufficient; otherwise, it would have taken a while longer."

Then, she asked hesitantly: "Forgive my intrusion, Young Master Meng, but isn't your wife Alliance Leader Tie's daughter? The one just now..."

Meng Li said frankly: "I have two wives. One is named Tie Xinlan, the daughter of the former Wulin Alliance Leader Tie Ruyun. Because she has to manage family affairs, she didn't come out with me this time. The one just now is named Yu Yan, and she is also my wife."

Su Ying was startled. Two wives?

Then she realized that in today's world, it was not rare for a man to take a wife and concubines.

It was just that she had never cared about this before.

After all, she didn't plan on having anything to do with those men, so she naturally didn't care how many wives or concubines they had.

Why did she care now? Could it be...

Thinking of a certain possibility, Su Ying quickly shook her head to suppress the thought, and then she thought of another question: "Yu Yan?"

She looked toward Jiang Yu Feng: "That name is only one word different from Yu Feng; it sounds a bit like sisters."

Jiang Yu Feng bit her lip and confessed: "Yu Yan is my younger sister."

Su Ying: "???"
