The Abandoned Wife’s Rebirth - Chap 30

“…” as Wu Ruo watched Hei Xin and Hei Gan treating the big white egg with such care, a few black lines marked his forehead. In his heart, he thought, calling it ‘little young master’, weren’t they being too serious about it? Could it be that they really took the big white egg for Hei Xuanyi’s son?

“I’ve been looking for all of you all over, turns out all of you were just here.” Nu Mu’s bright and clear voice came from the entrance way, and he walked into the building, looking at everyone in a puzzled way. His gaze landed on the big crow Guai: “What are all of you doing here?”

Hei Xuanyi didn’t respond, and instead asked: “When can you start to cure Wu Ruo of his parasite?”

“I can do it any time. Oh right,” Nu Mu gave an invitation card to Wu Ruo: “On my way here, I ran into one of the servants from your estate so I’m helping them to pass it along to you. They said your attendants are inviting you to their wedding banquet in three days time.”

“Thank you.” Wu Ruo expressionlessly accepted the invitation card.

Everyone immediately realised that his mood wasn’t good.

Hei Xin carefully asked: “Madam, do you need this old one to prepare the congratulatory gifts?”

There was no way Wu Ruo was going to personally worry over the matter of congratulatory gifts like he had in his previous lifetime, so he passed the invitation card straight to Hei Xin: “I’ll have to trouble you.”

In his previous lifetime, he had even personally attended the wedding banquet. However, this lifetime, don’t talk about attending the wedding banquet, he didn’t even want to see them at all.

Hei Xin saw that Wu Ruo couldn’t care much for this matter, so he already knew what kind of congratulatory gifts to prepare.

Nu Mu walked forth and said: “Last night, I thought of two ways to get rid of the parasites, the two of you can choose one. In the first method, we can directly force the parasites out using spiritual energy according to the steps I describe. This method is very fast and saves time, it should take about seven days to half a month, and it can force out all of the parasites inside the body.

“However, during the process of forcing the parasites out, it will be absolutely excruciating and it’s also not good for the body since the parasites have been in Wu Ruo’s body for almost 20 years. They are practically part of Wu Ruo’s body, so it’ll be the equivalent of getting rid of a part of his body. This will cause a big blow to his vitality, it’ll take at least two years’ time to recuperate from it. So, I don’t recommend you using this method.

“I explained this method to you because I thought you might be in a rush to get rid of the parasites.”

Wu Ruo: “…”

In his previous lifetime, it was precisely because he was in a rush that he chose this first method of getting rid of the parasites. When he was getting rid of the parasites, death would have been better than staying alive. It was as if tens of thousands of parasites were crawling around inside his body, then, the parasites twisted their way out of his body through his blood vessels.

When he saw the disgusting black parasites crawling out of his body one by one, goosebumps rose up all across his body. For many days, he didn’t even have any appetite to eat, so that’s how he injured his vitality. It caused him to become like an invalid for two years after getting rid of the parasites. His body was especially weak, every day, he couldn’t muster any vigour, and he had to take many nourishing tonics to regain his vitality.

Hei Xuanyi narrowed his eyes and asked: “What’s the second method?”

“The second method is to soak in a medicated bath that I prescribe for a month. This will soften up the parasites within the body, and then to extract one parasite a day. Due to this, the removal period is slower, it may take up to three or four months to cleanly remove all the parasites within his body. Although it takes a lot of time, but it can slowly reduce his body weight and physique at the same time. It won’t harm his vitality and also won’t damage his body.”

Hei Xuanyi immediately made a decision: “The second method.”

Nu Mu looked at Wu Ruo: “What do you think?”

Wu Ruo glanced at Hei Xuanyi and agreed: “Hn, the second method then.”

If it wasn’t for Hei Xuanyi, maybe he would’ve been in a rush to force the parasites out of his body just like in his previous lifetime. After all, with such a fat body, and in a situation where he didn’t have spiritual energy, it would be very hard to take on so many people in the Wu family on his own.

Nu Mu said: “Alright, we’ll start the herbal bath soak today, for half ashichenevery day.”

Notes:I usually come back to edit the chapter before posting, after translating it a few days ago. The translation for this chapter abruptly ended with no footnotes and I thought I’d lost some content/didn’t finish translating for some reason. Turns out there really aren’t any footnotes this chapter.
