Back To the Countryside
Chapter 70: 惧怕[ Fear]
Part 2
After settling his little Fu Lang, Qi Yue sat down at the chair, tapping his fingers on the tabletop, one at a time, without hurrying, as if he was considering how to deal with the person in front of him.
He was not in a hurry to speak, but He Zhen was breathless by the silence, so he said, “I am already like this now, what more do you want?”
“What?” Qi Yue stopped his hand for a while, as if he had heard some joke, even his eyebrows were tinged with laughter, “I don’t intend to do anything or I should say, I don’t need to do anything anymore.”
“What do you mean by that?”
He Zhen did not believe that after what he had done, the other party would let him off.
“Is it possible that your body has been feeling unwell a lot lately?” Qi Yue did not directly answer his words but instead asked him a question.
He Zhen froze, precisely at this moment his head was still pounding with dizziness, making him unable to support himself, “How did you know?”
“I don’t know if I ever told you that…” Qi Yue propped up his elbows on his knees and bent down slightly to look at him, “I am the owner of the Sheng De Clinic. “
“You …” He Zhen’s hand that was propping his body up went limp and he almost fell to the ground. He took a moment to slow down before saying, “So, you can cure me from that strange disease?”
“Of course! (Naturally!)” Qi Yue straightened up his body, stood up and smiled playfully, “That prescription of yours was prescribed by me.”
“Since it is the case …” He Zhen’s eyes were red and full of resentment, “Then, at that time, why didn’t you help me? If only you were willing to help me, I wouldn’t have been married off to an old man by my family?!”
Qi Yue took back the smiling expression on his face. In his eyes, a cold chill flashed through within it, “Have you forgotten what you did to my Ah Ling? Who are you to beg me to help you!”
“But isn’t he all right? Isn’t he fine now? He even conceived with your child!” Why is he the only one who has suffered misfortune? Why should both He Ling or Xu Hua be able to have everything?
“At this point, you still never reflect over yourself.” Qi Yue stood up, walked to him and squatted down, “I might as well tell you that I am not only good at using medicine, but also very good at using poison.”
He Zhen was startled and stared blankly at him. He had a not so good speculation in his heart, “You….”
“It seems that you have already guessed it!” The smile on his face was tinged with mischief, “How does it feel for your body to be festering all over?”
He Zhen quickly covered his chest and gasped violently, his eyes full with the unwillingness to believe. He didn’t want to accept that the strange disease that had brought him all the misfortune was the handiwork of this man he had once admired!
Qi Yue sat back down on his stool and picked up a cup on the table and played with it, “To use a poison in front of me, you simply are too naive. Do you really think that the cup of tea you drank earlier was only yourself that had someone add something to it?”
“What did you say? What did you put in?!”
There was nothing unwell or physically wrong with He Zhen but he just knew what the other party said must not be a lie!
“Since you want to harm my child…”
Qi Yue’s hand loosened, therefore the cup fell to the ground and broke into pieces, “Then you will never have a child of your own.”
“Impossible, impossible!” He Zhen shouted hysterically, how could he not have a child? If he didn’t have a child, then he wouldn’t be able to live the rich life he has now for much longer!
“You don’t need to feel too sad since you won’t live for a few more years anyway.” Qi Yue looked at him as if he were watching a play, “That’s also not true, you still have a choice.”
“What else have you done?!” He Zhen felt like he was going to collapse. The ways this man brought him under control seemed endless, how many other hidden dangers were there in his body that he didn’t know about?
“He Zhen, do you really think that I am that kind and would give you a prescription to cure your illness?” How could he be merciful to the person who had hurt He Ling countless times?
“The medicine is eating away your body bit by bit. Every time you drink one set, you are one step closer to death.”
What he had been taking was the deadly □□! He Zhen wrapped his arms around himself and curled up on the floor, unable to accept what he had heard. The medicine he had been taking every day, with its burning pain, was not a life-saving remedy!
Qi Yue sat there, like an elegant and distinguished young master from the aristocratic family, gazing at the petty and low mole cricket and ants (fig. tiny individuals with no power) as if it was a dust in front of him, “You have two choices, continue to take the medicine and maintain your present appearance, or stop taking the medicine so that you can live for more years. What will you choose?”
How to choose? No matter what the result would be, he didn’t want any of them! For the first time, He Zhen began to feel regret, why did he have to provoke this man in the first place? Why did he have to fight with He Ling? If he had been more honest, wouldn’t he have married a nice man and lived a happy life now? At least, he wouldn’t be dragging his sick body around weeping bitter tears like he is now!
(Tl : Sad ? why the regret coming so late?)
“This is my last warning to you, from now on, do not appear in front of my Fu Lang, or I have a thousand other ways here to make your life worse than death, and believe me, you do not want to try it.” With these words, Qi Yue paid no more attention to the person on the floor, got up and left the hall. Rather than wasting too much time with him, he still had to go and accompany his little Fu Lang.
Until he left, He Zhen’s body did not stop trembling. He realized that he had never seen this person clearly. All that he had once sentimentally attached to was nothing but a false image disguised by the other person! The real him was not some kind of gentle and elegant young master that could make people delighted just like bathing in the spring wind but he was instead a frightening and terrifying evil spirit!
The author has something to say :
That’s right, the last chapter was about the drama queen He Ling, so my precious baby, if you guys guessed it right, raise your hands for me! ~2333333
Translator?:
I like that last warning from Qi Yue
Next chapter is sweet and funny
Made me smiled and laughed while reading it



Ahh… that warning is truly refreshing. Making me wonder when will I have such a man? Anyway, thank you for the TL, Little Yen! 🙂
You will, thank you Anko.. Good luck with ur study
Thank you for the very lovely chapter Little Yen. The face slapping was top tier. I am satisfied, now I just need some fluff and everything will be okay.
🙌 I guess right he Ling was acting 😁
But I was wrong about the medicine I thought it would make HZ infertile in the first place🤡
Well, if u only realize those things earlier HZ baka humaba pa buhay mo at masaya ka rin ngayon sigh~
So excited for more sweet moments now another problem has been solved/take care of!!!
Good for you He Zhen. Hahaha! Too late to regret. You could only blame yourself. Thanks for the chapter
It seems that He Zhen no longer had a way out from the moment he crossed He Ling in front of Qi Yue.
To friends who want QY to kill HZ and He family in earlier chapter… pfftt! Death is a super light punishment guys.
1. No pity whatsoever for HZ, author deliberately use words ‘his happiness’ and ‘rape’ to play with the reader bcz it’s sensitive topic but they(author) have no pity to hz actually. In some work, ppl will pity the villain with reason: the rape didn’t happen to mc anyways. What if it happened? In this novel, what if HZ can’t even lifted his finger to sprinkle that ‘knockout’ medicine? Plus there’s possibility villain escape too, however they are greedy.
2. I also hate when author make HZ set up his family like that!! Why must his sister-in-law, not his maid? BECAUSE: if the maid got pregnant and other concubines notice he lost 1 maid he will be in trouble, then if he set his father instead? It won’t have much effect to young generation in he family, and last: HZ is resemble his mother the most, but doubled the villain poits. He didn’t have his father a bit of shame trait at all. While his brothers still have it but the oldest is stupid and the second a bit smart but greedy. Author try to portrait his character as consisten as possible, if u pay attention then it will be reasonable. After aff HZ not stupid.
So, it’s only reasonable to set up his 2nd brother with oldest sister in law to make disaster. Liu is not shameless, zhang is a bit stupid, and they indeed greedy but things got worse bcz the He family unfair treatment, specially HZ. As u can remember, the in laws choose to not participate to bully HL but also not help him. Liu give HL drug bcz HZ Qian made she do all the dirty work. Zhang is like his husband greedy and she not aware about HZ scheme.
3. I am glad Liu died and Zhang hurt ppl. At least they got out of that family. And Liu already shameful enough imagining herself meet his husband sober self in future and for hurting Zhang heart. Zhang n Qiu greedy made them pacify HZ too much but it turned to be a disaster n Qiu realized it to late. Sad, Qiu is not die, well he do more crime than 1st brother so he deserves live a sober miserable life.
4. Marrying and old husband is normal in our real life in the past, so what do u expect from ancient theme novel? Moreover rich ppl lived longer bcz they can maintain their health. HZ just don’t wanna be outdone by HL, and Xu Hua moreover. He blame HL for everything even though HL treat HL bad since they are kid. Lunatic. See? He enjoy the rich life. He can enjoy it as long
I admire the balance in this novel. And character development. Not all villain need to repent to make a novel as good and reasonable novel. HZ didn’t have pitiful past why would author make us pity their villain? HZ villain works are work of delusional and narcissistic and envy ppl. Look, even his brother and father know how to stop messing with HL and QY.
4. -as long as he has a child. And he will laugh of other’s misfortunes. Even Qian marry him off bcz they have no money to buy medicine aside for being greedy for money. And his father know no good person, especially young wealthy person will marry HZ. Marry him to old man in ancient time who still able to have s*x and give him money is not that bad, that’s why no one really sympathy with him in the novel when he married. His brother and in laws just already tired with him lol. He protest about a fried egg while HL only able to drink the soup of vegetable soup and work as long as he still wake up T.T
I hope none of us marry to a family like He family and ended up like Liu and Zhang but in modern settings. xD or move out with ur husband ><
Long ass comment… sorry.
I finally give commnets yeay~
Turns out making an account is not that complicated and without password I’ll barely remember. But also bcz I’m invested in the plot I just want to go to next chater asap.
Thank you for the hardwork, translator~
Wow rarely someone comment so long and it’s quite interesting perspective. I respect the author’s choice to make her villain whatever she want so I am just enjoying the story as it is. Thank you for the comment
Such a good comment! Bravo!
I actually admire how balanced the author made Qi Yue and He Ling. Qi Yue is blackbellied and has merciless tendencies, which balances off well with He Ling’s tenderness. Not to mention Qi Yue also hides his mercilessness behind a gentleness while He Ling finally developed the sense to protect himself and not be bullied. They’re just like yin and yang!
I love this chapter
