The gambling god's wife in the Duke's Mansion is getting divorced again

"The new dynasty replaces the old one; this is the general trend of the world. Emperor Chai's rule has made the people's lives miserable, and the people's hearts have turned against him. Even if the throne changes, you are nothing more than an illegitimate child born to a palace maid. This throne will never be yours."

Pei Jinzhi's disdain angered Chai Jue.

"But all my brothers are dead! This is God's will!"

Chai Jue laughed heartily, his eyes gleaming with madness. "I am the only heir of my father in this world! This world belongs to me! The Xiao family betrayed their father and seized the throne; they are unworthy of sitting on this throne. I am the legitimate heir!"

Pei Jinzhi didn't bother to pay attention to him and looked at Sang Wan again:

"After Chai Min's defeat, his followers fled to Jiangnan and founded the Tianxuan Sect, waiting for an opportunity to strike back at the Xin Dynasty and avenge their former master. Your adopted father, Sang Jun, was Chai Min's bodyguard during his lifetime."

Sang Wan's face turned pale. All this was completely different from what Madam Cheng said.

Madam Cheng was afraid that Pei Jinzhi would reveal some shocking secret again, so she took out a dagger and put it across his neck: "Alright, stop talking nonsense. Hand over the imperial edict!"

"There's no imperial edict." Pei Jinzhi sneered, "Wanwan touched every inch of my body, but did you see any trace of the imperial edict?"

Sang Wan's face turned red. It was already this late and he was still joking.

Chai Jue's face was gloomy, and he stared at Sang Wan intently: "Didn't you say you found the imperial edict?"

Seeing that Sang Wan remained silent, Chai Jue raised his hand, and a number of guards in black and red clothes and carrying swords stood out from the darkness and surrounded the pleasure boat. They were all people from the Tianxuan Sect.

The dome above the pleasure boat broke, and several men in black fell down.

The men in black were all wearing black veils, leaving only their eyes exposed, and they were stalking the people in the pleasure boat fiercely.

Sang Wan pointed at Madam Cheng and yelled, "The token is on her!"

Madam Cheng was horrified, "Imperial City Division?!"

"Kill this bitch first, then kill Pei Jinzhi!"

Several assassins from the Imperial City Division immediately drew their swords and engaged the Tianxuan Sect members in a fierce battle. Swords and knives flickered, and blood splattered everywhere.

Sang Wan hugged Pei Jinzhi's chest and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"I can't die." Pei Jinzhi said, "How did you attract it?"

"Don't ask. If you ask, you're smart."

Sang Wan supported him and walked out. Several guards from Tianxuan Sect rushed towards them with cold eyes. Pei Jinzhi raised his hand and unsheathed the Chengying sword neatly and cleanly.

The people from the Imperial City Bureau were looking for the token everywhere, and she was just taking advantage of the situation and directing the criticism towards Madam Cheng.

"Don't let them get away!" Cheng Buyu saw that the situation was not right and immediately called Madam Cheng to take action; Madam Cheng wanted to bypass the black-clothed men from the Imperial City Bureau and rush towards Sang Wan, but in order to silence her, three or five people from the Imperial City Bureau surrounded her and did not give her any chance at all.

"You stinky girl, how dare you play tricks on me!"

In a rage, Madam Cheng took out the poison powder from her bosom and scattered it around.

The fine particles were like dust, and the man in black was covered in powder. His movements became slow, and red tears of blood oozed from his eyes. His limbs gradually became stiff, and he fell to the ground.

Madam Cheng picked up a knife and slashed their necks one by one, causing blood to flow like a river.

The great master of the Imperial City Division was killed instantly.

Sang Wan hurriedly covered her lips and nose with her sleeves, took out the antidote from her purse, stuffed it into Pei Jinzhi's mouth, and fed herself one as well.

Madam Cheng rushed over angrily: "Where is the imperial edict?"

Sang Wan took a deep breath and moved towards the bow of the ship. "The imperial edict is here with me."

She took out a small roll of bright yellow paper from her sleeve. Pei Jinzhi's brows were covered with thick ink.

His eyes turned sharp: "Don't do anything stupid, Wanwan."

Madam Cheng was delighted: "Well done!"

Sang Wan held up the yellow paper and ran towards the bow in two steps: "Don't come over here!"

"Sang Wan! What do you want to do?!" Chai Jue shouted.

"Answer my questions!" Sang Wan shouted loudly: "First, how did my father Sang Jun die?"

Madam Cheng laughed awkwardly, "Pei Jinzhi killed him, didn't you know that?"

"I spared you back then just to let you lie today?" Pei Jinzhi said slowly.

"Shut up! If you say another word I'll cut your neck!"

Madam Cheng viciously pushed the blade an inch deeper, and blood oozed from Pei Jinzhi's neck.

She laughed and said, "Pei Jinzhi didn't tell me, so I'll tell you, that knife was stabbed by Princess Jinghe!"

Princess Jinghe Xiao Yue? It turned out that it was her he wanted to protect.

Sang Wan's eyes dimmed: "Is what she said true?"

Pei Jinzhi stared at the change in her expression and nodded.

Just like a light suddenly lit up on the dark road, Sang Wan understood why he always said that "the time was not right". It turned out that the person he loved from beginning to end was Xiao Yue.

Sang Wan felt that it was a little ridiculous for her to come here tonight.

Love is like playing chess. It’s a game between men and women. The one who falls in love first is the loser. She admits it.

"You win, Pei Jinzhi."

"Listen to me, Wanwan." Pei Jinzhi looked at the figure at the bow, his heart sinking inexplicably. "Sang Jun's death had nothing to do with Xiao Yue. I had someone dig up Sang Jun's grave, and his bones were black. Sang Wan, you can use poison, tell me, how did he die?"

"Black...Did he die of poisoning?" Sang Wan's lips trembled: "Madam Cheng, it's you."

"It was me. Ten years ago, we were ordered to kill Prince Yun, Xiao Yi. We were about to succeed, but Sang Jun betrayed us at the last minute and even tried to kill me. He was stabbed in the abdomen and was about to die. I just added fuel to the fire to make his pain even worse."

Madam Cheng remained calm and collected, "The man is dead, what's the point in dwelling on who killed him? Sang Jun isn't your biological father. Do you think he truly loved you when he raised you? Haha, he was only raising you at the behest of the Tianxuan Sect. You..."

"Don't talk so much." Cheng Buyu frowned and interrupted Madam Cheng:

"Sang Wan, a man of insight is a true hero. This shore is already filled with imperial guards, and they are here to kill Pei Jinzhi. If you follow him, you will only end up dead. Quickly give me the imperial edict. In the future, you will succeed your father as the head of the Tianxuan Sect. How about that?"

Chai Jue extended his hand and took a step forward, tempting her: "That's right. If you don't want to get involved in the affairs of the martial arts world, I can take you as my concubine. You will enjoy endless wealth and glory, and your life will definitely not be worse than that of the Pei Mansion. Be good and give me the imperial edict."

Sang Wan took another step back toward the side of the boat: "Second, who am I?"

"You're the abandoned child of the brothel." Madam Cheng rolled her eyes and sneered, "It's common knowledge."

Sang Wan pulled out a fire starter from his waist. A flame shot out, frightening Madam Cheng so much that her voice changed: "Ah Wan, don't do anything stupid!"

Sang Wan opened her collar, revealing her golden lock: "Who am I?"

Madam Cheng and the others all frowned.

"This is not an ordinary gold lock, it is the Luban Thousand-Craftsman Longevity Lock."

Only after Pei Jinzhi returned it to her did she have time to take a closer look at the lock. Its mechanism was ingenious and its design was complex, which was definitely not something that an ordinary craftsman could make.

At this point, she had great doubts about her identity.

Sang Wan jokingly said, "The prostitutes in the red-willow alleys can't afford a goldsmith to make a lock like this."

Cheng Buyu couldn't help but scold Madam Cheng in a low voice: "It's all your fault, why are you saying so much!"

"Why are you blaming me? I asked Sang Jun to melt this lock, but he hid it secretly!" Madam Cheng was furious and said to Chai Jue, "Your Highness, don't waste your time with her anymore."

She grabbed Pei Jinzhi by the collar and said to Sang Wan, "Throw the imperial edict over here, or I'll kill him!"

Sang Wan raised her lips and sneered.

The two people's eyes met, and in a flash, Pei Jinzhi twisted his hand and moved the knife from his neck to Madam Cheng's jaw. Swish, a dragon of blood splashed, and large stains of blood were spread on the wall and the ground.

Madam Cheng opened her mouth in disbelief: "You..."

Cheng Buyu was horrified: "My wife!"

Blood was gushing from Madam Cheng's neck. Pei Jinzhi put away his knife and said, "Go!"

Sang Wan shot two arrows from the sleeve on his wrist at Cheng Buyu and Chai Jue respectively. Cheng Buyu was hit in the knee and fell to the ground; Chai Jue panicked and tried to escape, but was hit in the butt and cried out loudly!

"Sang Wan! You traitor!!!"

Sang Wan snorted coldly: "You forced me and killed my family, yet you still expect me to be loyal to Tianxuan Sect!"

The two men stumbled and tried to escape, but were instantly paralyzed and fell to the ground like a log.

"I've smeared cartilage powder on my hidden arrows. Please enjoy the flavor."

Cheng Buyu was so angry that he almost went crazy: "If I had known earlier, I should have killed you!"

"Go to hell and regret it." Sang Wan's eyes were cold.

Pei Jinzhi clapped his hands, and Li Jiu appeared from nowhere and tied up Cheng Buyu and Chai Jue tightly.

He checked Madam Cheng's breath and said, "She's dead."

Cheng Buyu looked at Sang Wan with resentment, his eyes bloodshot: "I clearly saw you poison him, why is he okay?"

Sang Wan smiled faintly, as if she thought his question was stupid: "The disciple surpasses the master. I have already learned how to detoxify."

Cheng Buyu was furious and turned to Pei Jinzhi: "So, you guys had already planned this!"

Pei Jinzhi shook his head calmly: "There is no conspiracy."

He looked at Sang Wan, his tone heavy: "Why didn't you tell me that they fed you poison?"

Sang Wan's nose felt sore, but she still had a smile on her face: "I will solve it, don't worry about it."

"Since you chose Shi Luochuan, why did you still want to get on this pleasure boat? I don't understand whether you did it on purpose or not."

Pei Jinzhi's black eyes moved slightly, as if he had to ask for an answer.

That day she had clearly promised Shi Luochuan to go with him.

He thought...

"That's right, you don't understand. Pei Jinzhi, you taught me. To be unintentional is to be strong." Sang Wan suppressed the bitterness and smiled calmly: "I am so strong, so naturally I am unintentional."

Pei Jinzhi's lips moved, and his heart was broken into pieces.

Sang Wan lowered her eyes and looked at Cheng Buyu, hatred in her eyes:

"After my father died, you took me into Tianshengtang. I considered you my adopted parents. But you used me, killed my family, and forced me to become disloyal, unfilial, and unrighteous. Doctor Cheng, you have disappointed me greatly."

Cheng Buyu was so angry that he almost suffocated, but his body was stiff and he couldn't even pound the ground.

Chai Jue was tied up like a pig, screaming:

"Sang Wan, what good will it do you to help him? Do you think he can get off this pleasure boat?"

Sang Wan walked up to him and kicked Chai Yu's fat face:

"Tell me, who am I really? Why did Sang Jun adopt me? Tell me!"

Before Chai Jue could say anything, suddenly, there seemed to be a huge sound of wind coming from all directions.

"Get down!" Pei Jinzhi pounced on Sang Wan, hugged her and rolled several times, protecting her under his body.

Arrows rained down on the pleasure boat from all directions. In a moment, the wall panels of the pleasure boat were riddled with holes, and Chai Jue's fat body was full of arrows, like a lifeless hedgehog.

"Listen up, remnants of the Tianxuan Sect! You are endangering all directions and committing heinous crimes! This general has been ordered to come here to arrest you. Anyone who resists arrest will be killed without mercy!" It was Baili Xi's voice.

Sang Wan's heart sank, and when she looked up, she met Pei Jinzhi's eyes.

His starry eyes were like a boiling black pool, filled with heat, which made her feel flustered.

"Go." His voice was filled with anger.

Sang Wan bit her lip, her voice muffled: "I came here for my own business."

Before she finished speaking, Pei Jinzhi pinched her chin and kissed her lips fiercely.

The two of them were kissing each other under the cloak, breathing heavily.

"Wu Xinren, be obedient and follow Li Jiu."

Sang Wan shook her head, tears welling in her eyes: "I can't hide my identity."

Sang Jun is her adoptive father, and the fact that he is a remnant of the Tianxuan Sect is established; Pei Jinzhi used her as a concubine to bring good luck, and he cannot deny his involvement even if he talks a lot.

"Wanwan, be obedient! Their boat is coming! Hurry up and leave."

Li Jiu came over and said, "Grandma, come with me."

"No." Sang Wan made up her mind, held Pei Jinzhi's face, and kissed him: "We are even now."
