Chapter 81 Bone Penetrating Needle
Hearing this, Wang Tao frowned. After so many years, the old lady's ideas were still as stupid as ever.
It was precisely because of this that her eldest brother was unwilling to take her to the capital and let her live here alone in her old age.
Wang Tao didn't say it directly. It would be useless to say it directly to the old lady: "Mom, don't worry, leave this matter to me. But you are the most prestigious person in Bugu County here, can you please not do this kind of ghost marriage?"
"Do you think what I did was wrong?" Old Mrs. Wang immediately frowned.
"I know you love Dehao, but don't you feel sorry for Qi'an? If what you did gets out, who would dare to marry our Qi'an?" Qi'an is Wang Tao's son and the only grandson in the family besides Wang Dehao.
Old Lady Wang loved Wang Qi'an the most. When she heard what Wang Tao said, she whispered, "What does this have to do with An'er?"
"Since the last emperor, ghost marriages and evil ways have been banned. Although the current emperor has relaxed his rules a bit, such things are still not tolerated in the upper class."
He paused, lowered his voice and said, "The girl he is dating now is the daughter of the Grand Tutor. Their family hates these things the most. Tell me, if people find out, how can the marriage be successful?"
The Taifu is of the first rank, which is higher than the boss's title.
The old lady's eyes lit up, "Are they really going to marry Qi'an?"
Wang Tao nodded, "Mom, so you better be careful when doing something."
"Okay, mother knows everything." The old lady let the matter of the ghost marriage go at once. After all, there was no rush for this matter and it wouldn't be too late to arrange a marriage for Dehao after she brought the tutor's daughter home.

Wen Yan asked someone to renovate the bathing area of the Wen family. Originally, the family washed in the kitchen. But as the weather got hotter, Wen Yan renovated the room where the sundries were originally placed, laid floor tiles, put in a bathtub, and changed it to its current appearance.
Although not as convenient as modern times, it is still a rare comfort.
It was already dark and many people were lying in bed preparing to go to sleep, but the Wen family was still busy with candles lit.
Wen Yan boiled the herbs she got from Zhongjing Hall and set them aside.
Then he went to the bathroom, cleaned the tub, and poured a basin of spiritual spring water into it. He then filtered the dregs of the boiled Chinese medicine and poured them into the tub.
Finally, pour water and adjust to the appropriate temperature.
"Xiangyun, come here." Wen Yan shouted outside.
After a while, Xiangyun came with a small box in his hand.
As soon as she stepped into the room, she smelled a strong smell of medicine. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she felt that her body felt much more comfortable after inhaling the smell of medicine.
"This is the medicinal soup prepared for you. It can remove scars on your body. Come and soak in it and see the effect." Wen Yan tested the water temperature and it was just right.
He also reminded: "It may sting when you first soak, but it will ease after a few soaks. Go to bed directly after you are done soaking. Getting enough sleep at night can speed up the body's recovery."
Xiang Yun nodded slightly, handed the box in his hand to Wen Yan, and then began to undress.
"What is this?" Wen Yan held the box, feeling light and fluttery. When she opened it, she found a very special bracelet inside.
It seems to be made of very thin copper sheets, and the color is dark gold. The bracelet is very wide, about five centimeters wide. It is so light, but the thickness is about three millimeters. There are very beautiful patterns on the surface, and the combination of auspicious clouds and beasts complements each other.
Xiangyun had taken off all his clothes except for his bellyband and underwear, and his back and arms were covered with large areas of burn scars.
She came over and explained to Wen Yan how to use it.
Wen Yan saw her exposed skin. Even though they had been together for so long, she was still shocked to see the burn scars. Her arms and the back of her hands, almost everywhere she saw was covered with burn marks.
"There is a very thin ring on the bracelet. If you wear it normally, you can buckle the hidden buckle next to the ring and the hidden weapon will not be triggered. If you encounter danger, open the hidden buckle, put on the ring, and gently clench your fist, and the hidden weapon will be shot out from the bracelet."
"A bracelet can hold a total of ten silver needles. If you put the poisoned silver needles in it, anyone who gets shot will basically die."
"You can call it a bone-penetrating needle."
As he spoke, Xiang Yun opened the secret button, put the ring on Wen Yan's middle finger, and led her to make a fist.
Suddenly, a silver needle shot out.
Wen Yan felt that the ring brought a certain resistance when she clenched her fist, and she could feel the mechanism in the bracelet working on her wrist.
The silver needle shot out and almost completely penetrated the pillar in front of him.
Wen Yan's eyes widened slightly, "This... this is too amazing."
She ran to the pillar and picked out the silver needle.
Xiang Yun was also a little stunned. It was not the first time that she designed a similar mechanism, but it was the first time that someone was able to shoot a hidden weapon so deep.
After thinking about it, it must be because of her great strength.
Wen Yan didn't expect that Xiang Yun had been working in the house for so long just to make a hidden weapon for her. This was much more powerful than her "poison bomb".
Seeing her happy, Xiangyun couldn't help but curl his lips. He took off the last piece of clothing and sank his body into the bathtub.
Suppressing the excitement in her heart, Wen Yan took the facial cream and said, "Use the facial cream I developed on your face. The skin here is delicate, so you have to take your time."
Xiang Yun shook his head, slowly feeling pain in his body, and sweat began to seep out of his forehead: "No need for the face, but this scar needs to be left."
"That's fine." The most important thing is the scars on his body. If they are healed, there is a high probability that the injuries will not recur. "But I still need to apply a compress today. The burns here are also quite serious. I need to reduce inflammation to reduce the risk."
Sometimes, Wen Yan would say some words that she didn't understand. But Xiang Yun always responded to her requests, so she said, "Okay."
The medicinal bath lasted for half an hour. When Xiangyun came out of the bathtub, he felt as if his whole body was hot.
Wen Yan brought another bowl of medicine for calming the nerves and clearing heat, "This is what the doctor prescribed. He said that drinking it after the medicinal bath will make you feel much better."
Xiang Yun drank it without changing his expression, put on his clothes, and went back to sleep with Wen Yan.
Just as Wen Yan said, I slept well after drinking it.
Although she still felt itchy skin in her sleep, she would not wake up, which eliminated the urge to scratch.
Wen Yan waited until she fell asleep, then went over to help repair her skin bit by bit with her vitality.
This little bit of hope is actually a drop in the bucket, but it allows Wen Yan to understand Xiang Yun's physical condition better.
Wen Yan could feel that if she soaked her skin once every seven days, her skin would be completely restored to its original state in about half a year!
