Zhao Huai now understood why the myna bird didn’t sing before and kept staring at his black ring.

It turned out that this was a gold-digging bird that didn’t work without eating spiritual stones, huh? N0v3lTr0ve served as the original host for this chapter's release on N0v3l--B1n.

It had targeted the spiritual stones on him from the beginning.

Would he have to feed it spiritual stones in the future?

While full of complaints, he thought about it.

This myna bird must have gone through some adventure to have such a change.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have such a unique characteristic.

Zhao Huai stared at the myna bird again.

Man and bird gazed at each other for a while.

He thought for a moment and took out several spiritual stones from his black ring.

Before feeding, Zhao Huai solemnly said to the myna bird, “If you’re eating spiritual stones, at least do something useful. Otherwise, I’ll pluck all your feathers and cook a braised myna bird.”

“Braised myna bird! Braised myna bird!”

The myna bird repeated these words, flapping its wings happily.

Zhao Huai didn’t care if it understood him and reached out to feed it the spiritual stones.

The first spiritual stone was quickly swallowed by the myna bird.

Then the second, and the third.

The little guy looked small, but it was really fast at eating.

Until the sixth piece, the myna bird didn’t swallow any more spiritual stones. Instead, it shook its feathers, as if it was stretching comfortably after a satisfying meal.

Afterward, Zhao Huai picked up some medicinal herbs, opened the cage, and applied them to the bird’s wings and head, hoping that its injuries would heal.

As he was busy, Pei Xiangyun came over. Watching Zhao Huai’s back, she leaned against the door, crossed her arms, and pouted: “My sister has finished washing the dishes; what are you doing?

Obviously unhappy with Zhao Huai’s idleness.

“Can’t you see? I’m petting a bird.”

Zhao Huai didn’t look up, continuing to apply medicine to the myna bird.

“Bird?”

Pei Xiangyun’s eyes looked at the myna bird in the cage, surprised, “Wasn’t this bird dying?”

She had noticed the birdcage when Zhao Huai brought it over earlier, but at that time, the bird looked wilted, as if it was about to die.

It hadn’t been long, and now the bird was full of vitality?

The myna bird at this moment, with its black head held high, a tuft of white hair on top standing up, looked very spirited, and its feathers had become much brighter.

After hearing Pei Xiangyun’s explanation,

Zhao Huai’s mind was now clear about what had happened to his wife.

At first, he thought Pei Xiangyun was making up stories.

Later, however, he found that what she described resonated well with what his wife had once said.

His wife once said that she was forced to leave, abandoned by others.

Upon careful thought, his wife was indeed a proud and innocent woman, who would find it beneath her to engage in disputes over inheritance, which is why she chose to leave on her own accord.

Pei Xiangyun saw Zhao Huai deep in thought, secretly feeling triumphant, as her plan initially succeeded.

Then she continued: “Can you bear to see her lose everything she once had?”

Zhao Huai pondered for a while before saying, “I can’t bear it.”

A smile flashed in Pei Xiangyun’s eyes, but she maintained a serious face:

“That’s why, my sister should fight for what she lost, rather than staying here.”

It was only when he heard this that Zhao Huai suddenly realized his younger sister-in -law was trying to abduct his wife!

Listening to her, it seemed that from reason to principle, he couldn’t refuse.

The move played by his younger sister-in-law was indeed clever.

But it was still a bit naive.

Zhao Huai shook his head and said earnestly to Pei Xiangyun, “When your sister got married, she told me that she won’t get involved in past trivial matters anymore. So whether she wants to leave or stay depends on her; there’s no use talking to me, because I can’t decide anything.”

“You...”

Pei Xiangyun was stunned after listening.

She initially thought that after hearing her modified story, Zhao Huai would feel moved and help persuade her sister to return to the capital city, achieving a multiplier effect.

However, she didn’t expect that he would be more difficult to deal with, kicking the ball back into her court. She would have to go and find her sister to convince her?

If she could persuade her sister, why would she come to him?

After finishing his words, Zhao Huai patted Pei Xiangyun on the shoulder and then went into the study.

Pei Xiangyun pouted, clearly feeling frustrated.

Her mood was already irritable, and then she heard the “plop-plop” sound coming from the side.

When she looked up, it was the myna bird, waving its feathers.

After applying some medicinal herbs for a short time, it had already started to move its wing.

The myna bird’s beady eyes stared innocently at Pei Xiangyun, not knowing what it was looking at.

Looking at this silly bird, Pei Xiangyun became even more furious and resentfully said,

“What are you looking at? Are you also mocking me?!”

Unexpectedly, the myna bird suddenly flew up, reaching as high as the ceiling,

and cried out as it flew:
