Chapter 74: What to Do About Mom Always Trying to Drug My Wife
“Anyway, forget everything you just saw, got it? This is a secret between the two of us, and you better not tell anyone. If you do, watch out. Even if you’re just a servant, I won’t hesitate to take you down, understand?”
“Sure… I get it. Can you get off me now?”
Seeing Aierjisi still pressing down on him, ready to strike at any moment, Yake had no choice but to agree quickly.
“Since you know the deal, hurry up and get out! I need to get dressed.”
After climbing off Yake, the Little Princess unmercifully kicked him out of the room.
【Seriously, how did I end up with someone like this as a servant back then?】
While silently complaining about her dissatisfaction with Yake, she got dressed in front of the mirror and stepped out of the room.
“Did you need something when you came to find me earlier?”
Noticing Yake still lingering at the hallway, Aierjisi asked about his visit.
“Uh… It’s nothing important, just Mom wanted you to take a bath before going to bed.”
Tomorrow, the Little Princess and Yake would be heading out together, and during their journey, they might have to spend several nights outside, where even bathing would be a luxury. So, Reina thought it best that they have a good wash and a comfortable sleep before setting off.
“Oh, got it. You can go ahead; I’ll just grab some clothes to change into and join you.”
“Right. The hot water’s already ready; you can just head to the bathroom when you’re ready.”
“Understood.”
After shooing Yake away, Aierjisi picked her change of clothes and went downstairs to greet Reina and the others before entering the bathroom.
“Ugh, no matter how many times, I’ll never get used to this wooden tub…”
Looking at the steaming wooden tub, Aierjisi really didn’t want to get in. To her, bathing meant soaking in a bath as big as a football field back in the palace, and now she had to squeeze into this little wooden tub… it was simply unacceptable!
“Whatever, you can do this, you can bend but not break. It’s just a small wooden tub; it’ll clean away the dirt on my body, and that’s enough.”
The Little Princess tried to convince herself to accept this reality. She had to go through this pep talk every time before getting into the tub. Although it felt a bit odd for a Blood Clan girl to be saying this, it was a necessity.
“Ah… so comforting.”
No matter how much she resisted, once her body was submerged in the hot water, Aierjisi completely changed her tune. Bathing was the happiest thing in the world—no contest.
“Mom, what are you doing?”
Just after coming out of the restroom, Yake saw Reina sneaking around with a packet of pink powder. He couldn’t help but get closer to peek.
“Ah! Yake, don’t just appear next to me like that. You scared me to death!”
Reina clutched her chest, nearly having a heart attack from Yake’s sudden appearance.
“Sorry, sorry! But what are you doing? Is that milk?”
Yake noticed the two bottles of milky liquid on the table. He knew that the Little Princess had a habit of drinking milk after bathing. At first, he didn’t get it, but after Aierjisi told him, “You should try drinking milk after a bath, you’ll understand,” he had developed the same habit after his first bath.
“Mom, you’re not adding anything weird to the milk again, are you?”
Thinking of how his mother liked to sneak in some unmentionable ingredients into food or drinks, Yake immediately reacted, guessing she was adding something to the milk again.
“Oh come on, do I look like that kind of person?”
Reina hid the package of powdered medicine behind her back, along with an opened bottle of milk. No matter how you looked at it, it was like she had “Yep, I am that kind of person, what about it?!” written all over her face.
“Mom! You really should stop messing with stuff. If it weren’t for the time when I accidentally gave Aierjisi some abnormal recovery potion, she’d have already taken me out.”
Yake frowned. His mother was great in many ways, but when it came to matters involving him, she turned into an absolutely maniacal person. Her approach to helping him find a girlfriend seemed to be “Get in the car first, tickets can wait.” What guy would want to date if his future mother-in-law was this crazy?
“Ugh, what do you know? With your slow-paced personality, how long do you think it’ll take before you find someone? Just listen to your mother; sometimes, you have to strike first.”
Even after being found out by Yake, Reina showed no signs of backing down. No, she was absolutely determined when it came to this matter.
“But Mom… we’re leaving tomorrow! It’s not suitable to drug us tonight. And… if I actually do things with Aierjisi, she’ll definitely kill me.”
Recalling how Aierjisi had threatened him, saying if he told anyone about her private business, she would kill him, Yake figured if he really did have some fun with Aierjisi, even if he explained it was because of the drugs, she’d probably still beat him half to death. For his own safety, he thought it was best to stop his mother here.
“Eh? How could she do that? You and Little Aier share a life, right? She probably won’t kill you. At most, she’ll just beat you to an inch of your life.”
Reina casually said something quite terrifying, which only made Yake even more frightened.
“Being beaten to an inch of my life is even scarier! I would definitely pass out from the pain after being whipped by Aier!”
“Yake, sometimes, for the sake of a so-called goal, pain is unavoidable. You’re already a 24-year-old man, a qualified male! Pain is something you can overcome! I believe in you!”
Reina aimed to dump all the powdered medicine into the bottle of milk in one go.
“No! Mom, stop!”
Yake urgently tried to prevent his mother from her insane act. This one thing was absolutely not allowed! He’d definitely end up worse than dead!!!
