Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy

Leng Shuang couldn't help but think of the puppet-like boy in her mind, and a strong fear and doubt surged in her heart. Could it be that the boy was a corpse controlled by the old man with magic, or was he not a real person?

These unfounded speculations were like countless cold tentacles that gripped Leng Shuang's heart, making her feel an unprecedented chill and her breathing quickened.

Xie Qingli keenly sensed Leng Shuang's emotional fluctuations. She turned around, gently held Leng Shuang's cold hand, and asked softly, "Leng Shuang, what's wrong with you? Did something terrible happen later?"

Leng Shuang shook her head vigorously, trying to dispel those bizarre thoughts from her mind. After a pause, she calmed down a little before continuing, "Han Jun took the old man's medicine and seems to be getting better. The old man took his pulse again."

"But for some reason, the old man suddenly angrily let go of Han Jun's hand, muttering something like 'too easy, too boring', then turned and went into the room and never came out again. Only Han Jun's groom remained in the yard to watch over him. Seeing that there was nothing else unusual, I withdrew."

Xie Qingli nodded slightly, frowning as he said, "Han Jun's master has an eccentric personality, but his medical skills are superb, and his style of conduct is somewhat reminiscent of a quack. And Han Jun, as an imperial physician serving the court, has such a mysterious master, which in itself is fraught with doubts."

She paused slightly, a barely perceptible chill in her voice. "I don't know why he wants to attack me, but if he doesn't learn his lesson and stop, I will make him pay the price."

Leng Shuang frowned slightly, with a hint of unwillingness on her face: "Miss, are you going to let him get away with it this time?"

Xie Qingli's eyes flashed with a cunning light, and she smiled mysteriously: "When I said I would collect the consultation fee myself, I didn't say it casually."

Leng Shuang's eyes were full of doubts. She looked at Xie Qingli in confusion, waiting for her next words.

Xie Qingli raised the corners of his lips slightly, and whispered, "When I examined his pulse, I gave him two kinds of poison. One poison is extremely toxic, and he can clearly sense it. The other poison is very weak, and under the cover of the former poison's effect, it is difficult to be detected."

"The poison will remain dormant in his body for a while, slowly corroding his affected hand. By the time he discovers it, that hand will have begun to tremble slightly from time to time, and will no longer be able to perform delicate tasks like taking a pulse. This is what I took from him."

Leng Shuang's eyes widened in shock. She looked at Xie Qingli with admiration and chuckled, "Young lady, you've really planned everything out. Even Han Jun's eccentric master was fooled! Young lady's peerless martial arts combined with her extraordinary wisdom make her simply invincible!"

Xie Qingli couldn't help but laugh. She had never seen Leng Shuang praise someone like that before, so she couldn't help but laugh and said, "Great, you've learned to tease me too!"

She paused, a complex look flashing across her eyes, and sighed softly, "However, I know how important hands are to a doctor. If Han Juan can reform himself and do good deeds, I will help him detoxify..."

The two men changed into their night clothes while talking. Their plan to visit An Mansion at night was delayed last night, so they must go and find out what was going on tonight.

But just as they stepped out of the door, they saw a figure slowly walking out from the shadow of the yard. The man had a tall and straight figure and a handsome face. It was Chu Yuncang.

Xie Qingli's pupils shrank slightly. She quickly stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, is there something wrong with the pills I made last night?"

Chu Yuncang shook his head slightly and said softly, "Don't worry, Li'er. There's nothing wrong with the pill. Eunuch Deshun has already quietly replaced it without anyone noticing."

A gentle smile appeared on his face, and he said apologetically: "I delayed Li'er's plan last night because of my affairs. I should accompany Li'er tonight."

Xie Qingli's heart finally relaxed as she nodded gently, "Okay, thank you, Your Highness!" She turned around and ordered, "Leng Shuang, you stay and rest early. Your Highness and I will be back soon."

"Yes, Miss." Leng Shuang's voice was calm, but she felt a little uneasy in her heart. His Highness was really a spoiler, snatching away the fun that originally belonged to her and Miss! She gave Chu Yuncang a cold look and turned back to the house.

Xie Qingli and Chu Yuncang did not notice Leng Shuang's unhappiness. They put on their face scarves, tapped their toes, and flew towards the An Mansion one after the other.

After about a cup of tea, the two quietly entered the An Mansion. An's father was only a sixth-rank official, so the scale of the An Mansion could not be compared with that of a marquis's mansion. Several courtyards were closely connected, separated by low walls.

Following the information he had gathered in advance, Xie Qingli headed straight for the narrowest courtyard in the northwest corner.

The courtyard was completely silent, with only the rustling of leaves in the night wind. The light in the bedroom was still on, its dim glow casting a clear shadow against the window. The figure was motionless, like a stone statue, and Xie Qingli immediately recognized it as An.

Listening carefully, besides An, there was also a faint snoring sound in the room, which should be the servant on duty at night.

The two exchanged glances and nodded in tacit understanding. Chu Yuncang flashed, quickly opened the door, and headed straight for the snoring sound. Xie Qingli followed closely behind, closing the door lightly and quickly, and ran towards An Shi who was sitting at the table.

When An heard the noise, she looked up in surprise and saw a man in black approaching her quickly like a ghost. A strong sense of fear suddenly surged in her heart, but before she could shout out, she felt a slight tingling in her body, and her throat could no longer make any sound.

Xie Qingli stood a few steps away from An. Chu Yuncang had already dealt with the servant and came to Xie Qingli's side. Both of them looked at the terrified An with cold eyes.

Under the dim light, An's face was as pale as paper. She looked at the two men in black who were radiating coldness. She was so scared that she knelt on the ground, clasped her hands tightly together, and made gestures for begging for mercy.

It seemed like an eternity had passed. Just as An was about to collapse, Xie Qingli finally spoke. Her voice was as cold as ice, without a trace of emotion: "An, I will untie your acupuncture points now, but you must not cry for help, or I will kill you immediately! You have to think clearly, who is faster, the one who comes to save you, or our swords!"

Chu Yuncang drew out his sword with a "swish" and stared at An with cold eyes.

An nodded hurriedly, her eyes full of obedience. She would not call for help. Ever since she was divorced and sent back to the An family, the whole family has regarded her as a disgrace. Even if she called for help, they probably would not be willing to come to rescue her.

Xie Qingli moved as fast as lightning and had already removed the silver needles from An's acupuncture points before she could react.

Xie Qingli's gaze was like a sharp blade, staring intently at An. He asked in a deep voice, "Where did the Xie family get all this money from? Tell the truth, and no tricks!"

An was slightly stunned. She was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter and said, "I know, you are the people sent by Jiang Muxue!" She looked at the two of them, a hint of jealousy flashing in her eyes, "The Jiang Mansion is indeed powerful. They can actually invite masters like you."

Holding what the other party wanted, An suddenly felt emboldened. She changed the subject and spoke in a firmer tone, "But do you think you can make me reveal my secret just like that? No way! Unless you do me a favor."

Seeing Chu Yuncang's eyes becoming increasingly cold, as if he would take her head off in the next second, An Shi no longer dared to be arrogant and said anxiously: "As long as you promise to help me return to the Marquis' Mansion, I will tell you immediately. Otherwise, I would rather die..."
