As soon as the words came out, there was a sigh from all around.

Everyone looked at Lu Qingheng and Qin Jianjian with contempt.

Pei Xunzhi couldn't hide the disgust in his eyes. "I was wondering how the Qin family could afford such an expensive medicine as Tianshan Folian. It turns out they've been taking it for two years without paying a penny."

"Huichuntang was once a famous medical clinic in Kyoto, but it's only a small shop until now. I guess all the money I earned in the first half of my life was spent on Tianshan Folian."

Qin gradually became so anxious that he stamped his feet and wanted to argue again. They had clearly already paid back the money!

But Lu Qingheng's cheeks burned with embarrassment, and he pulled Qin Jianjian aside, "Shut up!"

"Isn't it embarrassing enough?"

Lu Qingheng then stepped forward to explain, "We have already repaid all the money we owed for the medicine. We will not elaborate on the misunderstanding between us and Divine Doctor Qiu, so as not to ruin Miss Pei's birthday party."

"I hope to explain this to Divine Doctor Qiu someday."

She has been writing letters of apology every day, so why is Dr. Qiu so vindictive?

"There's no need to explain; it's superfluous."

Divine Doctor Qiu looked at Pei Xunzhi and asked, "Could you take me to see the wife of Marquis Wu first?"

"Of course, Doctor Qiu, please come this way!"

Jiang Ningwan also followed.

After all, she was going to learn medicine.

After the Sanguisorba officinalis incident, she realized that learning some medical skills could save her life, so she specially sought out Doctor Qiu to become his disciple.

Doctor Qiu knew that she was the granddaughter of General Ling and that she had planned to separate from the Qin family. He admired her decisiveness and readily agreed to take her as his disciple.

I know her plan and am willing to cooperate with her and help her.

Coming to Wu Bohou’s mansion today is also part of the plan.

In the past, before the Ling family encountered any trouble, they were always cautious. She was taught since she was a child to avoid associating with the powerful people in Kyoto, for fear of being framed for forming a clique and arousing the emperor's suspicion.

As they were both military generals, they dared not interact with each other when it came to military power.

So she had never been to Wu Bohou's mansion.

But now she can't compete with the Lu family alone, so it always helps to make some friends.

When the master came to the inner courtyard to see the wife of Marquis Wu Bo, he went forward to ask about the situation and examined her leg. Jiang Ningwan saw a bruise scar left by a poisonous arrow.

"Miss Jiang didn't get scared, did she?" Mrs. Wu Bohou noticed Jiang Ningwan's surprised expression and covered her calves embarrassedly.

Jiang Ningwan replied, "I'm just a little surprised that the wife of Marquis Wu was wounded by an arrow. Have you ever been on the battlefield before?"

The wife of Marquis Wubo smiled and nodded, "It's an old story."

"It looks like this poison arrow has injured the bone. The pain must have been excruciating. Madam is a heroine, really admirable!" Jiang Ningwan couldn't help but sigh.

A hint of surprise flashed across Wu Bohou's wife's eyes, and then a bit of admiration appeared in her eyes. "I said that General Ling's granddaughter would definitely not be the kind of person who would get jealous in the harem."

After examining her, Divine Doctor Qiu took out a silver needle and said, "Madam, the poison you contracted back then probably wasn't completely eliminated. The remaining poison is quite deep. Acupuncture will help you detoxify in a month or so and you'll be fine."

"Disciple, learn well. I cannot stay in Kyoto for long. You can come and give acupuncture to Madam later."

Jiang Ningwan nodded immediately, "Okay!"

While Dr. Qiu was giving her acupuncture, she was learning silently beside him. She had learned some medical skills in the seven years of her previous life, so it was not difficult for her to learn now.

After the acupuncture, the wife of Marquis Wu Bo felt a little stronger in her legs and stood up and walked around.

"Mom! You can walk now! That's great!" Pei Xunzhi excitedly supported her.

Mrs. Wu Bohou said gratefully, "Thank you so much, Divine Doctor Qiu!"

"Xunzhi, hurry up and get the consultation fee."

Divine Doctor Qiu waved his hand and said with a smile, "No need for the consultation fee. This is a gift for my disciple, how can I accept money?"

"Just a simple meal today."

Pei Xunzhi said quickly, "We will treat Divine Doctor Qiu well today. The wine and food are ready. Please come in!"

After arranging a seat for Doctor Qiu, Pei Xunzhi kept Jiang Ningwan.

"Miss Jiang, this is your first time visiting our Wu Bohou Mansion. Are you interested in visiting the garden?"

"my pleasure."

The two walked side by side in the garden, the fragrance refreshing.

"Thank you, Miss Pei, for helping me out today." Jiang Ningwan spoke first, breaking the silence.

Pei Xunzhi was stunned for a moment before he reacted, "Are you talking about the gift Qin Jianjian gave you?"

"What's the big deal? I just can't stand them bullying others in public."

"When Lu Qingheng went to war, we agreed that we would become sworn sisters when she returned victorious."

"I've loved wielding swords and guns since I was a child, but I'm the only daughter of my father, so I can't go to the battlefield. So I sincerely admire Lu Qingheng for having the courage to go to the battlefield as a woman."

"But later I found out that she went to the battlefield for a man."

"With her military achievements, she could have sought an official position and become a world-renowned female general, but she insisted on snatching a married man and bullying you by relying on her military achievements."

"If the Ling family were still there, I don't believe she would dare to do this." Pei Xunzhi was a little angry and disappointed.

Jiang Ningwan's eyes were dim.

Pei Xunzhi came back to his senses and said quickly, "I'm sorry for bringing up your sad memories."

"It doesn't matter, it's over."

Suddenly thinking of something, Jiang Ningwan asked curiously, "How do you know she went to the battlefield for a man?"

"Perhaps they fell in love after going through life and death together."

Pei Xunzhi didn't hide it and said bluntly: "Don't be angry when I tell you, Lu Qingheng has long had feelings for Qin Beihuang."

"When she followed her father and brother to the battlefield, we thought she was full of ambition. But when she returned, she married into the Qin family, even if it meant being a concubine. So she was destined for Qin Beihuang."

Jiang Ningwan couldn't help but sigh, "If that's true, then I'm the one who's hindering their marriage."

Pei Xunzhi felt sorry for her, "How can you say that? If Qin Beihuang hadn't married you, Princess Yi wouldn't be alive today. You are their family's benefactor, yet they treat you like this."

"That Qin Jianjian is arrogant and extravagant, spending money lavishly. The Qin family doesn't have that kind of wealth."

"I've received so many benefits from you, but now you're biting me back. I'm really throwing money at the dog."

"If I were you, I would get rid of this heartless family as soon as possible."

Jiang Ningwan raised the corners of her lips slightly, "That's exactly what I meant."

As soon as these words came out, Pei Xunzhi was stunned and began to doubt his ears.

"Do you want to reconcile?"

Jiang Ningwan nodded, "I've been planning this for a long time."

Pei Xunzhi asked happily, "How can I help you?"

Jiang Ningwan thought for a moment, then took her hand and said, "Don't be upset if I ruined your birthday party today. I'll compensate you however you want!"

Pei Xunzhi was a little surprised and said frankly: "Today's birthday banquet was carefully prepared by my father. If it is ruined, I will be very unhappy."

"But you invited Dr. Qiu to treat my mother's leg today. Nothing could make me happier than this."

"People shouldn't be too greedy, so I won't blame you. If I can really help you get a divorce, it will be a credit." Pei Xunzhi was complacent.

Jiang Ningwan breathed a sigh of relief.

The two walked around the garden and talked for a long time.

We had a great conversation and felt sorry for not meeting each other earlier.

When they returned to the banquet, Pei Xunzhi affectionately held Jiang Ningwan's arm, as close as sisters.

Lu Qingheng saw this and clenched his palms in anger.

Jiang Ningwan sat next to Pei Xunzhi, who served her dishes one after another, "Try this."

While eating, Jiang Ningwan suddenly felt a sharp pain in her abdomen and vomited blood.

The snow-white fox fur was instantly dyed red.

The bright red color was eye-catching and frightened everyone.
