The pain on her lips brought Sang Wan back to consciousness for a moment.

She gasped and saw clearly that the person in front of her was Pei Jinzhi.

"Young Master? Where is this?" She was crying and couldn't make out clearly.

The word "Prince" made Pei Jinzhi's face suddenly cold. His eyes turned pale:

"Hua Fang, you've been drugged."

Sang Wan then remembered that she had gone to Sihai Casino today and had played a game with Qi Bo. They had agreed that he would let her go if she won, but she never expected that he had secretly smeared aphrodisiac on the outside of the dice cup.

Carelessness leads to the loss of Jingzhou! People’s hearts are so evil!

She bit her lower lip hard, using the pain to keep herself awake, only to find that she had her arms around his neck.

Sang Wan quickly let go of his hand.

"That Qi Bo is a beast! He lost the bet and refused to admit it."

Pei Jinzhi was furious. It had only been a short time since she left his sight, and such a big thing had already happened. He didn't know whether to scold her for being careless or blame himself for being too careless.

"You bet with him? And you won?" He was a little unconvinced.

Last time at the Fugui Casino, he secretly made a move, allowing Sang Wan to win three games in a row; but this time at the Sihai Casino, no one helped her, so how did she win?

"I really won." Sang Wan said solemnly.

The effects of the drug made her skin hot and her cheeks flushed; her mind was half awake and half confused, with the beauty of a drunken lotus.

As if she was savoring the joy of victory at that moment, the corners of her lips curled up high, her dimples sunken, and her expression was coquettish:

"I'm the God of Gamblers' daughter."

Pei Jinzhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and couldn't help but touch her head, eyes full of pity: "You are."

Sang Wan looked at him steadily. Due to the effects of the medicine, her eyes were a little dull, but she was more direct and passionate than usual: "Pei Jinzhi."

"Hmm?" Pei Jinzhi said hoarsely, moving closer to her. "What do you want to say?"

"You saved me again?"

She looked up with eyes full of admiration.

His autumn eyes were like water, and his anger instantly disappeared, leaving only helpless doting. His big hands couldn't help but pinch her pink cheeks: "Yes."

"You are so lucky. Fortunately, you are not dead." Sang Wan lowered his eyes and murmured back and forth.

Pei Jinzhi rubbed the back of her head with his big hand: "Are you worried about me, Wanwan?"

"I will pay you back what I owe you." Sang Wan nodded seriously.

Pei Jinzhi's heart skipped a beat: "Just like that?"

"Well, I don't want you to die."

Even if I am confused, this is sincere.

"Okay. I promise you, I won't die."

Pei Jinzhi's eyes faded away and his voice became a little hoarse.

Sang Wan shuddered and hugged him tighter:

"Don't die, Dad. Don't die. They don't want me anymore, Dad. They don't want me anymore."

"Nonsense, who wouldn't want you? Wanwan is so nice." He raised his hand to wipe her tears.

"They don't want me anymore. Brother Luochuan doesn't want me anymore either."

"I met Brother Luochuan, and he has another woman he likes."

This matter weighed on her mind, but she never expected that when she was confused and overwhelmed with passion, she would completely vent it out.

Sang Wan cried heartbrokenly, her eyes were red and swollen.

Pei Jinzhi's heart tightened, realizing that she had been holding this matter in her heart for a long time.

"Shi Luochuan is not worthy of you, Wanwan."

He held her quietly, letting her cry in his arms. If he had a sword, he would have wanted to kill that unfaithful man.

"Pei Jinzhi, I'm so hot."

After crying for an unknown amount of time, Sang Wan began to feel restless.

The effect of the Hehuan Powder began to take effect, and her whole body was hot, as if there were thousands of shackles on her body, making it difficult for her to breathe. She wanted to scream and break free from these invisible shackles.

Sang Wan raised her legs and sat astride Pei Jinzhi's body, as if she had become another person.

She held his face devoutly and gazed into his eyes:

"Pei Jinzhi, you are so beautiful."

Her voice was a little hoarse from crying, and held an indescribable charm.

Pei Jinzhi's body stiffened, and he gently stroked her fair face with the back of his hand.

A soft hand then covered the back of his hand and moved her head closer.

The tips of their noses touched lightly, and their breathing became heavier.

Her lips trembled slightly, her long eyelashes drooped slightly, and her starry eyes were shining, as if she was expecting something, and as if she was praying.

Pei Jinzhi was caught in a dilemma.

"Wanwan, you will regret it."

Sang Wan twisted her body restlessly: "Why should I regret it?"

Her hand slid down Pei Jinzhi's cheek, her fingertips brushed across his Adam's apple, and Pei Jinzhi's breathing stopped suddenly.

"Do you know what you are doing, Wanwan?"

She lowered her long eyelashes, bit her red lips, frowned, and shook her head gently.

At this moment, she is like an ignorant little rabbit, pure as morning dew; she is also like a blooming peony, beautiful beyond words.

The beads of sweat hung on the thick, black, and curled eyelashes, each one crystal clear and mouth-watering.

Pei Jinzhi's throat rolled and rolled, and his eyebrows and eyes twitched wildly.

The soft, white hand seemed not satisfied with exploring his throat. It slid down along his collarbone and then restlessly reached into his chest, trying clumsily to untie his clothes.

Pei Jinzhi gasped, picked her up and stood up. Sang Wan felt a void beneath her, cried out in surprise, and hugged his neck tightly.

After a dizzying moment, she seemed to fall into a cold pool of water.

"It's so cold." She shrank back a little closer to Pei Jinzhi's neck. "Did I fall into the water?"

"Don't be afraid, I'm with you." Pei Jinzhi hugged her, his voice soothing.

"Hehuan Powder... can only be used with bloodletting or cold water to dispel heat. You understand poisons, so you should understand."

He would not touch her at such a time, and was even more reluctant to let her bleed. He could only keep soaking her in cold water and endure it, waiting for the drug's effects to wear off.

Sang Wan was shivering with cold, and his upper and lower teeth began to chatter.

In just a cup of tea, the bucket of cold water turned warm. The heat in Sang Wan's body subsided a little, and he regained some clarity.

Pei Jinzhi said calmly, "Change the water."

The two maids lowered their heads and brought two buckets of cold water to pour into the bathtub again.

The water suddenly became cold again, and Sang Wan shivered with cold.

Pei Jinzhi grabbed her with his big hands and held her in his arms: "Don't be afraid, hold me."

Sang Wan was like a trumpet creeper clinging to a tree, and she wrapped her hands around his neck, as if only in this way could she feel safe.

This was repeated, and after changing the water four or five times, the heat in Sang Wan's body was slowly released.

She felt much more comfortable and alert.

When she saw the scene clearly, she was so embarrassed that she just wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

The two of them sat in the bathtub together, both soaked.

She could even clearly see the outline of his chest, and he, of course, could too.

Sang Wan let go of Pei Jinzhi, hugged her chest with her hands, and buried her entire body in the water, leaving only her head exposed.

"Thank you very much, my Lord."

Pei Jinzhi's neck felt empty, and his heart felt empty too.

"It's okay." He regained his indifference and narrowed his eyes.

His thin lips were tightly pursed into a line, and countless emotions were suppressed under this icy face.

"I was careless and caused trouble for the prince." Sang Wan lowered his head.

It was so embarrassing that she wanted to find a piece of tofu to hit herself to death.

"Where did you see Shi Luochuan with the woman next to him?" he asked suddenly.

Sang Wan was a little surprised. How did he know?

I must have let something slip.

She turned her face away and said in a muffled voice, "In Longwu Village, I saw them get off the carriage together."

It would be a lie to say I wasn't sad, but this ending seemed to be expected.

When Shi Luochuan gave her the silver hairpin that day, she felt that everything was like a dream and very unreal.

Now that this beautiful bubble has been burst by reality, she feels that this is how things should be.

Has she ever had any luck? Never.

"That woman is so elegant and graceful, she is a perfect match for Brother Luochuan."

Seeing her so calm, completely different from her previous grief, Pei Jinzhi knew that she was pretending to be strong.

He snorted coldly and told Sang Wan the information Li Jiu had found out without revealing any emotion:

"She is the only adopted daughter of Mr. Pu of Biquan Villa. Her family is extremely wealthy, making her a perfect match for a poor scholar like Shi Luochuan."

Sang Wan's red lips seemed to have been drenched in cold water, losing their color. Her eyes froze in shock. "Really? Very good."

Her dejected look was particularly glaring in Pei Jinzhi's eyes.

"Very good." He couldn't help but become sarcastic, his dark eyes as dark as dark clouds:

"When he passes the imperial examination, you can marry him as his concubine. I'm sure he won't treat you badly."

Sang Wan almost bit her lower lip and simply closed her eyes.

She could tell that Pei Jinzhi was humiliating her.

But he had just saved her life, and she didn't want to argue with him.

Seeing her silence, Pei Jinzhi felt more and more that he had hit the nail on the head.

But she just remained silent, leaving his words like a fist hitting cotton, powerless and frustrating.

He followed Sang Wan's example, closed his eyes, and began to meditate:

"Oh, I forgot you can use poison. One day, poison the original wife and take the throne, and you will be the top scholar."
