It's good to exchange marriages. My sister eats coarse food while I wear gold and silver.

Meng Yingxue finally understood why the head of the family usually looked kind and amiable, and always looked calm and composed. She thought he didn't care about anything, but she didn't know that his emotional fluctuations would make the toxins in his body spread faster.

"Master, shall I go get a doctor?"

"No, I'll just take it easy." The head of the Shan family shook his head and heard Meng Yingxue's obviously hoarse voice saying, "We should get a doctor for you. It will probably take some time for the marks on your neck to disappear."

"I'm fine..." Meng Yingxue lowered her eyes, "I didn't expect the young master to hate everyone so much."

"Don't pay attention to him. Let him go to the back mountain and cleanse his dirty heart." The head of the Shan family snorted and laughed. "His mother didn't intend to have him. It was his father who said that since this child was here, he should stay. Unexpectedly, before they waited for him to grow up, they..."

Meng Yingxue could hear the nostalgia and regret in the Shan family head's tone when he mentioned Shan Ji's parents: "Things in the world are unpredictable. The young master doesn't understand it now, but one day in the future he will understand it."

"I don't expect him to understand." The head of the Shan family sneered, "I will tell the five elders about your parents' request to cancel your engagement with Shan Ji."

Meng Yingxue was startled, with shock in her eyes: "Master, do you agree?"

"You are a good girl and you deserve a better future. If you marry Shan Ji, your future will be dark."

"Master, let me help you back to your room first."

"it is good."

After a busy period, Meng Yingxue arrived at Yuan Buwei's room when it was already dark.

"Yingxue, your neck..."

When Yuan Buwei saw the five finger marks on Meng Yingxue's neck, she immediately thought: "Did Shan Ji do it?"

Meng Yingxue nodded and told what happened during the day.

"I'm not surprised that he could say that." Yuan Buwei sneered, "But we can't deny that he suffered a lot while fleeing with his parents. Even if he wasn't the center of attention when he was born, at least he didn't have to worry about food and clothing."

"I understand what you said, but I, as an outsider, can't stand listening to what he said..." Meng Yingxue hugged her arms tightly, "Fortunately, the head of the family agreed to cancel my engagement with him."

"This is a good thing. At least you and your family can have a good New Year, right?"

"Doctor Yuan, I really envy your mentality. If it were me, I wouldn't know what to do."

"I had to think about it myself before, but now that I have Mianmian, I naturally have to think about her. Oh, right..." Yuan Buwei took out a pen and paper, "I couldn't sleep in the afternoon, so I started to solve the formula. Because I asked Master for advice, I just solved two more herbs. There are still three herbs left, but these three herbs should not belong to Dazhao."

"It doesn't belong to Dazhao territory?"

"These three herbs should come from Xirong."

"Xirong?"

Meng Yingxue knew about the recent war outside: "Isn't the Xirong army attacking the border? How can we get the last three herbs?"

Yuan Buwei shook her head and said truthfully: "I am not able to move around easily now, and I can't think of any good solution for the time being."

Meng Yingxue thought for a moment and looked at Yuan Buwei: "I know someone who should be able to do it, but she must not know."

"Who?"

"Yuan Jinse, your sister."

Yuan Buwei was stunned for a moment, and didn't quite react: "Yuan Jinse went to Xirong?"

"To be honest, after you were brought into the Shan Clan, Yuan Jinse left the Shan Clan and headed for Xirong. With her own skills and charm, she has become the favorite concubine of the King of Xirong."

"The favorite concubine of the King of Xirong?"

If Yuan Buwei remembered correctly, the King of Xirong was older than the current emperor: "Is she selling out her country for personal gain?"

"Not only that, Jiang Weiming, her husband, also went to Xirong some time ago..." Meng Yingxue's face suddenly turned pale, and she looked at Yuan Buwei, "Doctor Yuan, I always felt that Shan Ji was going to do something big, but I could never imagine what he was going to do. Could it be that... he was going to..."

"Not good, not good."

Suddenly, the panicked voice of the servants came from outside: "Doctor Yuan, Miss Yingxue, a lot of soldiers in armor suddenly rushed in from outside the Shan family. They are all tall and strong with ferocious faces. The master of the family feels that something is wrong and asked the servant to take you out through the back door."

"What soldiers? Where did they come from?" Meng Yingxue's heart was pounding.

Yuan Buwei lowered her head and thought for a moment, then stood up with the child in her arms: "Yingxue, let's go."

"Doctor Yuan, what's going on?"

"This is Shan Ji's plan. He is deliberately trying to anger the head of the Shan family today." Yuan Buwei tied the child to her chest neatly, and then took out the gold and silver jewelry that the head of the Shan family had sent her recently from the box. "Shan Ji's target is us. As long as we leave, the head of the Shan family should not be in any danger. Let's go."

"This……"

After being dragged out by Yuan Buwei for a moment, Meng Yingxue finally reacted: "What about my family? Are they all in the Shan family?"

"As long as you are not caught, Shan Ji can't do anything. Leave quickly."

Yuan Buwei looked down at her daughter whose face was wrinkled because of the fluctuations: "Don't be afraid, Mianmian, mother will protect you. Yingxue, let's go!"

Get out of this damn place and don’t let Shan Ji find you!

Under the night.

The entire Shan family was engulfed in flames.

Jiang Weiming grabbed the head of the Shan family with one hand and brought him in front of Shan Ji, kicking him on the knee: "Kneel down!"

The head of the Shan family raised his head, looked at Shan Ji who was standing with his hands behind his back and slowly walking towards him, and suddenly laughed: "So from the beginning to the end, Doctor Yuan was only a part of your plan. Your real target is the Shan family?"

"You are wrong. I am just taking back everything that belongs to me, and my parents." Shan Ji snorted and laughed, "Back then, the Shan family killed all three of us. I will treat you the same way."

"Shan Ji, when will the cycle of revenge end?"

"What's the point of you saying these things now? You've already fallen into my hands." Shan Ji took the knife handed over by Jiang Weiming and slowly approached the neck of the Shan family master. "Where is the family master's palm print?"

The head of the Shan family looked at Shan Ji, and the next second he snorted and laughed, and bumped his neck against the knife.

The hot blood spurted out all of a sudden, splashing all over Shan Ji.

"unlucky."

Jiang Weiming immediately took out a handkerchief and handed it to Shan: "Are you okay?"

Shan Ji shook his head and looked at the head of the Shan family who was lying on the ground. He didn't expect him to be so resolute. Or did he not want to say it at all?

"If he dies, we won't be able to find the seal of the head of the family. How can you inherit the Shan family legitimately?"

"It doesn't matter. I can still inherit it without the seal. Anyone who disobeys me will be killed!"

There was a flash of hatred in Shan Ji's eyes, and the next second he turned and walked towards Yuan Buwei's courtyard.
