Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 519

Chapter 519: Unexpected Gift
Before Mu Zigu could ask, Xiao Yiqing said with a hint of joy, “Brother Zigu, I have a best friend and we have known each other since we were young. No matter when I am happy or sad, she always supports me and accompanies me. There was a time when I made a very big mistake and hurt her deeply. I thought I would lose her forever, but now I know she never hated me and always cared about me.”

The more he listened to his wife’s words, the more confused Mu Zigu became. The way his wife talks about her best friend sounds like a lover instead. The thought that his wife might already have someone she loved set off alarms in his heart.

He hugged his wife tighter and asked carefully, “Qingqing, your friend…did he write that letter?”

Xiao Yiqing nodded, not knowing that her husband thought her friend was a man and asked, “Brother Zigu, do you want to read the letter?”

Although he felt uncomfortable thinking about that person having an important position in his wife’s heart, he still nodded and took the letter. As he read the letter, a realization dawned on him and he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, that person is a woman!

Xiao Yiqing didn’t know that her husband was overthinking and jealous of Pan Meijia, so she went to get two small wine cups and asked, “Brother Zigu, do you want to try the wine?”

Nodding his head, Mu Zigu agreed readily, “Okay.”

Xiao Yiqing poured the tonic wine into two small cups and said, “I never knew that Meijia could brew tonic wine. It seems that she learned it from Lu Jueyu.”

She placed a cup in front of her husband, sat down beside him, and opened the small box. Looking at the sealed jar in the box, she picked it up and said, “This must be the medicine given by Lu Jueyu.”

“Qingqing, is Lu Jueyu your friend?” Mu Zigu asked curiously.

Hearing her husband’s question, Xiao Yiqing shook her head and said with a smile, “Unfortunately, we are not friends. But I hope one day we can be friends. She is a very good person and very talented. Her cooking skills are the best in Xie village.”

After she finished speaking, she untied the hemp rope on the jar and opened the lid. The moment she opened the lid, a fresh mint scent filled her nose, making her stunned.

She thought the medicine Lu Jueyu refined was some traditional medicine made from herbs, which looked like mud or black paste. Unexpectedly, the medicine turned out to be pearly white in color and exuded a refreshing fragrance. Just by smelling it, her mind was already refreshed.

She dabbed the jar with her little finger and applied the medicine to her wrist. The moment the medicine came into contact with the scar on her wrist, Xiao Yiqing felt a tingling, warm sensation as she rubbed the medicine. Although it is a cream-like medicine, it does not feel greasy and is absorbed well.

After rubbing it for twenty seconds, the medicine was completely absorbed and her wrist felt smoother than before. When she saw the scars, she felt her eyes blurred, as the scars were obviously much lighter than before.

Mu Zigu observed his wife and found that her expression was a little unnatural. Thinking that the medicine might be harmful to his wife, he asked worriedly, “Qingqing, what’s wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable after using it?”

Xiao Yiqing did not answer his question, but showed her wrist to her husband and said, “Brother Zigu, look at my scars.”

Mu Zigu knew that his wife’s body was covered with scars from the suicide attempt and abuse by Yang Lichao and Mother Yang. He never mentioned her scar because he didn’t want her to be reminded of those bad memories. So he was surprised to hear her asking him to check her scars today.

Seeing that her husband was just looking at her with wide eyes, Xiao Yiqing urged, “Brother Zigu, look at my scars quickly.”

Mu Zigu came back from his thoughts, held his wife’s hand gently, and looked at the scars on her wrist. He knew exactly how bad her scars were and what they looked like. So, when he saw that the color of the scar was lighter than before, he was stunned.

He looked at his wife and said, “Qingqing, your scar…”

Xiao Yiqing nodded excitedly and said with a smile, “Brother Zigu, this medicine is amazing! I only used a little bit and the color of the scar changed. I wonder if the scar can be healed if I use this medicine for a long time?”

Mu Zigu’s eyes lit up when he heard her words. He was overjoyed with this unexpected gift. It would be great if the scars on his wife’s body could be healed. If it weren’t for those scars, his wife wouldn’t always be reminded of what she went through!

“Qingqing, I’m going to see your friend and buy you some more medicine.”

Xiao Yiqing was surprised, shook her head, and said in a low voice, “Brother Zigu, personal transactions are illegal! We can’t bring trouble to Lu Jueyu just because I want to heal my scars.”

Realizing that he had made a mistake, Mu Zigu calmed down and asked, “How about we send them a letter and a few bolts of fabric as a return gift? You can also mention this in the letter. Maybe, your friend will send you some more medicine.”

Xiao Yiqing knew that her husband used this method to lure Lu Jueyu into exchanging expensive things for medicine through Pan Meijia, so she hesitated and said, “This…”

Seeing his wife’s hesitation, Mu Zigu sighed and said, “If you think it’s inappropriate, then let’s forget it.”

Seeing her husband’s disappointed expression, Xiao Yiqing couldn’t bear to refuse him. After a while, she finally sighed and said, “Then I will write a letter to Meijia later.”
