Walking out of the prison, Wan Shufang couldn't help but wave her fist in anger: "How could this Zhao Yue be so despicable as to burn all the evidence first?"

"What do we do now?"

Hearing this, Chen Changli's eyes flickered. After a long silence, he spoke calmly, "Most of the secret room has burned down, but there's still something left. We can only try our luck."

"That's fine. It's easier to find evidence. Confronting him like this will easily make him angry to death."

She blew the hair on her forehead, and angrily pulled Chen Changli back to the secret room of Zhao Mansion.

At this moment, the secret room was already covered in dust. The two men did not care about getting their clothes dirty and walked directly into the ruins to search carefully.

After a while, Wan Shufang's face was covered with a lot of black ash. She sneezed and subconsciously rubbed her nose: "The burnt stuff is so choking."

Hearing this, Chen Changli raised his head. When his eyes met Wan Shufang's dark face, he couldn't help but smile: "Shufang, you have turned into a little black cat."

He walked up and wiped Wan Shufang with his sleeve. He wanted to kiss her, but was pushed away forcefully. He received a big eye roll: "Do you think your face is clean? Lord, hurry up and find it."

As she spoke, Wan Shufang grunted and threw herself into her work again. Seeing this, Chen Changli smiled helplessly, stopped pestering her, and turned to look for her on the other side.

The two worked hard for an entire afternoon, and finally, Wan Shufang found a few pages of account books that were not completely burned among the rubble.

Her eyes lit up, and she held up the blackened fragments, shouting, "Chen Changli, I found it. Come and see it."

The moment she finished speaking, Chen Changli also walked to her side and looked at the contents of the account book. There was unstoppable joy in the eyes of both of them.

The account book recorded several huge transactions involving border generals.

"Great, I finally found it."

"With this, I wonder how Zhao Yue can still show off."

Wan Shufang was ready to conduct an in-depth study and nail Zhao Yue to death in the prison, but a secret guard suddenly ran in and interrupted the two people's search.

Seeing the anxious look of the secret guard, Wan Shufang remained calm, put the account book into the space, and said calmly: "What happened? Tell me slowly."

"Madam, here is a letter for you. The messenger said he was very anxious and asked me to find you as soon as possible, so I ran a little hurriedly."

As he spoke, he covered his chest and gasped for breath, but did not forget to hand over the letter.

Seeing this, Chen Changli walked over quickly, took the letter, opened it for Wan Shufang and then handed it to her.

"Who sent me this letter so anxiously?" Wan Shufang's eyes were full of doubts. Her curious eyes fell on the letter, but suddenly stopped. Her expression made Chen Changli's heart sink, and he also leaned over to take a look.

"It's Shangguan Chu."

Wan Shufang spoke in a flat tone as she silently folded the letter. Ever since she discovered that Shangguan Chu was hanging out with Liu Mochen and was about to poison Xiao Jingheng, he no longer addressed her in a friendly way.

"Xiao Jingheng's poison has intensified and he's fallen into a coma. She wrote to me, begging me to save her, but she was the one who poisoned him, so I don't know what she's up to."

Hearing the worry in her tone, Chen Changli squeezed her hand and said comfortingly, "Perhaps there's something else going on. Zhao Yue has also been arrested. Why not go to the Xiao family first?"

"I find it strange too." Wan Shufang agreed, feeling that things were becoming more and more strange. In order to resolve the doubts in her heart, she finally went to the Xiao family.

When she arrived at the Xiao family's house, she heard only mournful cries coming from inside. The voices came from both young and old, as if the entire Xiao family was there. She walked in quickly.

The first thing he saw was Shangguan Chu lying on the side of Xiao Jingheng's bed, crying inconsolably, his eyes swollen and red like walnuts, looking miserable.

This made her unable to help but be moved, but also made her more confused. It was not until she heard an angry curse in her ears that Wan Shufang came back to her senses.

"Bah, you jinx, why are you crying so hypocritically? It's you who caused my grandson to be like this. I tell you, when Jing Heng passes away, I will beat you to death and let you be buried with him."

After cursing, Madam Xiao spat, but still felt unsatisfied. She poked Shangguan Chu's head with her finger, leaving a mark: "Unfortunate star, why didn't you die of illness?"

Hearing Old Madam Xiao constantly calling Shangguan Chu a jinx, Wan Shufang subconsciously frowned and glanced at Shangguan Chu thoughtfully. Could it be that this was the reason why she drugged and harmed people?

But before she could figure it out, she saw Shangguan Chu kneeling on the ground, crying and begging for mercy: "Grandma, please don't beat me to death, I have Jingheng's child in my belly."

Her eyes turned, and she seemed to have just seen Wan Shufang. She quickly knelt and crawled over, kowtowed to her: "Madam, Madam, you are a great doctor. Please save Jingheng."

"As long as Jingheng can be saved, I am willing to do it even if it costs my life. The child cannot be without a father." Shangguan Chu begged while crying, his little face flushed red, and his forehead slowly swollen from kowtowing.

Seeing this, Wan Shufang couldn't bear it any longer and subconsciously reached out to help the man up: "Achu, you get up first. Now that I'm here, I'll try my best."

"Thank you ma'am, thank you very much."

Shangguan Chu kept thanking her and was about to stand up when the old lady poked him in the waist with her crutch.

"Don't get up!"

"Madam, you don't know that Shangguan Chu is a troublemaker. If she doesn't kneel, her life will be good, and my grandson will suffer."

When these words were spoken, Wan Shufang was shocked and looked at Mrs. Xiao with dissatisfaction.

"Madam, this is superstition..."

Before Wan Shufang could finish her words, she was interrupted by Old Madam Xiao in a stern voice: "What superstition is there? Anyway, since marrying her, nothing has gone well for our Ah Heng."

Seeing that she was about to recount Xiao Jingheng's misery and angrily scold Shangguan Chu, Wan Shufang hurriedly stopped her and said coldly: "Okay, now Xiao Jingheng's condition is unclear, I want to treat him."

"You guys staying here is making too much noise, which is not conducive to the treatment. Please leave first. Let Ah Chu stay and help me. She is my student and has studied medicine. She is more suitable than any of you."

Wan Shufang's words were well-reasoned and immediately shut up Madam Xiao.

Although she was dissatisfied, she endured it for Jamel Xiao's safety and took the Xiao family away. As soon as they left, the room became quiet instantly.

Only Shangguan Chu's faint sobs were left. Looking at her pitiful appearance, Wan Shufang had a complicated expression.

She wiped her tears with her own hands. When she was about to thank him, Wan Shufang asked indifferently, "Shangguan Chu, why did you poison Xiao Jingheng?"

Shangguan Chu panicked instantly after the words fell, and held Wan Shufang's hand slightly harder. She pretended to be calm and shook her head in denial: "Madam, you...what are you saying? I don't understand."

"I saw everything that day, Shangguan Chu. Tell me, why did it happen?"
