Chapter 1431: Chapter 1431: What Kind of Oddity?

Who could withstand the medicine given by the head mother of their household?

Yet it was Ban Yilu who incredibly managed to endure, far more formidable than Ya Jinghong and Ya Erniang.

But such a person was, oddly enough, Ya Jinghong’s wife, constantly threatened by Ya Jinghong, beaten and scolded, oppressed to the point of being breathless.

Could this be normal?

Of course, the answer was impossible; Ban Yilu must have some secret, one even Ya Jinghong and the others didn’t know about.

"Shall we go talk to you about this matter?" Beidou suggested.

"The lord isn’t here."

Nangong Piao’er rolled her eyes and replied.

Their lord was like a dragon that shows its head but never its tail; where he had gone, they wouldn’t know.

"Then let’s talk to the head mother and hear her opinion," Beidou said.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Piao’er pondered for a moment, then nodded.

"Alright, you stay here. I’ll be back soon."

She decided to inform the head mother. In their household, there was nothing that couldn’t be shared with the head mother; their lord discussed everything, big or small, with her.

"Okay."

Beidou responded and watched as Nangong Piao’er left.

"Beidou, where is Piao’er going?"

In the courtyard, Ya Enxi happened to come out and upon seeing Nangong Piao’er leave, asked.

"There’s something we need to ask the head mother about. Have you guys figured anything out on your end?" Beidou asked him.

Upon hearing this, Ya Enxi twitched his lips and shook his head.

"He probably has nothing left to spill. Ya Jinghong, this person, really can’t handle a scare at all; he confesses everything cleanly," Ya Enxi said.

Fortunately, the lord hadn’t taken Ya Jinghong into his service; otherwise, as soon as an enemy frightened him, he would surely betray the lord.

"What about on your end?" he asked.

"Piao’er and I find Ban Yilu a bit odd, so Piao’er just went to ask for the head mother’s opinion," Beidou said.

"Oh."

Ya Enxi responded.

"In that case, we’ll just wait."

The head mother would surely come to check the situation, and if Ban Yilu was indeed strange, the head mother would definitely be able to tell.

...

"Strange?"

Carrying a small basket of fruit, Lin Caisang, who was walking down the mountain path, bumped into Nangong Piao’er.

Hearing Nangong Piao’er’s words, she stopped and looked at her.

"What kind of strange?"

"I believe Ban Yilu possesses considerable internal strength; even after taking the elixir pills you provided, she still manages not to divulge everything," Nangong Piao’er said.

"Hmm?"

At this, Lin Caisang raised her eyebrows.

She indeed began to take an interest in this Ban Yilu.

In fact, she had always wondered, if Ban Yilu truly was in league with Ya Jinghong and the others, why would she constantly oppose Ya Jinghong and Ya Erniang in everything?

Originally, Ya Jinghong and her Brother Molian could not be considered to tell each other everything, but they were also among the best friends in the village.

But ever since Ban Yilu married into the family, under her influence, what were once close brothers became alienated, taking increasingly separate paths, and now had become sworn enemies.

Although they were inherently in opposition, as a spy, Ban Yilu did not think to improve the relationship between Ya Jinghong and Sui Zimo. Instead, she constantly threw stumbling blocks in Ya Jinghong’s way; wasn’t that abnormal?

"Let’s go have a look."
