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

There was a noise on the roof.

Li Jiu leaped up and fell down in an instant.

"Master, look." He held a emerald green bracelet in his hand, which was the one that Madam Pei had given to Sang Wan not long ago.

Pei Jinzhi closed his eyes: "Ajiu, I have changed my mind. Let Xiaoshun take the golden lock to find Xiao Ji."

He was a trapped beast, and after tearing off his skin, he found that he couldn't let go.

She had come tonight; she didn't want him anymore.

*

The Pei family changed dramatically overnight, and Pei Jinzhi became Zheng Jinzhi.

When the news reached the villa, Sang Wan drank his porridge expressionlessly, as if he was listening to irrelevant news.

Seeing that she remained silent, Bai Shi asked awkwardly, "You don't hate him anymore?"

"No more hatred." Sang Wan lowered her eyes. "Who has an easy life?"

He carried a heavy mountain on his back, and the hatred had already grown lush and green, like the endless circulation of mountain rivers and waterfalls.

She wielded the hoe without knowing her own limitations, wanting to dig the mountain open and dig him out from the bottom of the mountain to bring him back to the light of day. However, she did not expect that he was the mountain itself, the human carrier of this overwhelming hatred.

Compared to the suffering he endured, that arrow was nothing.

"A few days ago, you were still shouting about revenge, but today you've given up?" Bai Shi shook his head. "Young people's love and hate are like a gust of wind; they come and go as quickly as they do."

"You finally admit that you are old." Sang Wan glanced at him and hid her disappointment with a smile.

Bai Shi raised his palm as if to hit her, but when he saw her shrink her neck, he put it down triumphantly. He sighed:

"Prince...it's time to call him Master Zheng. He's not fully recovered yet. If he goes to the northwest to join the army, his life or death is uncertain."

"Everyone has his own path to walk, and it's his own choice." Sang Wan said calmly, "Uncle Bai, I will go with you."

The moment she put down the bracelet, she forgave Pei Jinzhi; at least she was still alive, but Pei Jinzhi was in more pain than death.

He was living in hell, a thousand times more painful than she could have imagined.

How could she bear not to forgive?

Bai Shi was stunned: "Have you figured it out? You're not going to the capital to look for your relatives anymore?"

Bai Shi understood her and knew that her purpose of going to the capital was to inquire about her identity. After all, there were only a few goldsmiths in Daxia who could make the Lu Ban Thousand Works Lock.

"No. Identity is far less important to me than being alive."

When she returned last night, she told Xiao Ji that she would not go to the capital. Baili Xi was so sad that she almost cried.

Sang Wan smiled faintly and shook her head:

"I'm just a country girl, why would I want to go to the capital? I prefer climbing mountains and collecting herbs, living a carefree life. You're right, I'm suited to studying medicine. With a skill at my disposal, I can support myself in the future."

"Tsk, if you inherit my medical skills, you will not only be able to support yourself, but also have mountains of gold and silver."

Bai Shi was proud. In terms of medical skills, he was even more skilled than the so-called imperial physicians.

However, as time went by, it became difficult to find a good disciple. When he finally met a talented one, he couldn't wait to pass on all his medical skills, so he never gave up on taking Sang Wan as his disciple.

"Yes, yes, I shouldn't underestimate myself. One day I will be the reincarnation of the female Hua Tuo, right?"

"That's pretty much it."

The two laughed heartily, and Sang Wan's eyes darkened a little:

"Before I become your disciple, I have only one request. I don't want anyone or anything related to him, including the house. In the future, you must not reveal any news about me to him, and you must not tell me anything about him. Can you do this?"

Bai Shi seemed to have been hit in the vital spot, and immediately stammered: "This, I also..."

He saw that Sang Wan's face looked strange and nodded immediately:

"Okay. Whether it's a house or not, we're traveling doctors, we live wherever we go, so why would we need a house?"

"His business, your business, is none of my business. Okay?"

Sang Wan smiled with satisfaction: "That's pretty good."

Bai Shi sighed and then laughed.

Life is like a game of chess. Who could have predicted that it would end in a dead end?

*

At the other end of the courtyard, in the study, Xiao Ji and Baili Xi sat opposite each other drinking tea.

"Why are you so sad? Just because Miss Sang didn't go to the capital, you're like a bereaved family. Be careful, if your father sees this, he'll beat you to death."

"That's easy for you to say." Baili Xi glanced at Xiao Ji and drank a cup of tea, not knowing how to taste it.

"You have a heart of stone. You've never loved a girl, so you don't know the pain of love."

Xiao Ji held the teacup and just smiled without saying a word.

"Wen Ruo went to the northwest overnight. I heard that he only brought Li Jiu with him. He is weak and I don't know if he can withstand it. Winter is coming soon and it has snowed in the northwest a long time ago. I don't know if he brought enough clothes." Baili Xi kept muttering.

Xiao Ji frowned, immersed in the memories of the past, and murmured: "I didn't expect that what he said back then would come true."

"What?" Baili Xi was curious. "Is there anything else I don't know?"

"When I broke up with him, he said, if he wasn't a member of the Pei family, I wouldn't hate him anymore."

He had thought Pei Jinzhi was dreaming. With a family name and a century of glory, who would destroy their own family for a friendship? Xiao Ji's heart ached inexplicably, both for Pei Jinzhi and for his own coldness over the years.

"Ah!" Baili Xi sighed, "He's so stubborn."

"Kang and Pei Yanting have both been taken away by the imperial guards. They say they're taking them to the capital for trial. Tomorrow, I'll also escort Princess Jianing back to the capital. I hope the emperor doesn't blame you for leaving the capital without permission."

Xiao Ji held the teacup and shook his head slightly. "Thanks to Chai Jue, he used the name of Prince Nan'an. Your Majesty sympathized with my anxiety for my father's reputation and did not blame him."

Baili Xi was relieved. "That's good. These Tianxuan Sect remnants deserve to die. They were the ones who assassinated Prince Nan'an fifteen years ago. It's a pity that the only survivor, Cheng Buyu, has gone mad. Otherwise, I could have gotten more information from him about what happened back then."

Xiao Ji was also very sorry, and he specially took Bai Shi to the prison to investigate what had happened.

He was lying on the ground like a dog, licking the dirty water in the dungeon, talking nonsense. Bai Shi was sure that he was really crazy.

Baili Xi sighed, "He was so devoted to helping Chai Jue restore his kingdom, but now he has to watch Chai Jue die before him. His entire life's work has been thwarted. He'd be crazy if he didn't."

"Back then, I was left in the capital because of chickenpox. All the attendants who followed my father and mother to the south of the Yangtze River died. Even now, I still can't understand why the Tianxuan Sect wanted to kill my father."

This is a huge stone buried in Xiao Ji's heart. For so many years, he has been secretly investigating the Tianxuan Sect, but no one can explain his motives back then.

"This matter is also a thorn in Wen Ruo's heart. You ignored him all these years, and he buried himself in investigating the Tianxuan Sect. Chang Yu, he tried hard to reconcile with you. It's time for you to forgive him, right?" Baili Xi always wanted to persuade them to reconcile.

If Prince Nannan had not been assassinated, they would have been such good brothers.

Xiao Ji smiled bitterly: "He's not even surnamed Pei anymore, what else can I hold a grudge against him for?"

"That means you've forgiven me!" Baili Xi was delighted. "I'll write a letter to Wen Ruo right away. If the horse is quick, maybe he'll get the letter when he reaches the northwest. He'll be overjoyed if he knows you're willing to let go of your grudge."

"This guy didn't even bother to tell us before he left, so we could have seen him off. Now he's joined the army, and it won't be easy to see him again for three to five years." Xiao Ji, who had let go of his worries, was suppressing strong emotions in his heart.

"Wen Ruo is a stubborn person. Since he bears his grandfather's surname, he will definitely not tarnish the reputation of Marquis Pingyuan. I think within three to five years, he will achieve something." Baili Xi understood him and knew that he was holding back and would never be willing to be inferior to others.

"After this, the only one left in the Pei family who can still be seen in public is the illegitimate son Pei Wuyan. The Zhenguogong Mansion is already at the end of its rope." Xiao Ji curled his lips, "This is all the Pei family's own fault."

The steward of the other courtyard hurried into the room and reported, "Your Highness, there is a guard named Xiaoshun outside who wants to see you."

Xiao Ji raised his eyebrows: "Who is it?"

"Xiao Shun? He seems to be Wen Ruo's personal guard." Baili Xi asked, "Why is he here if he's not following his master?"

The steward shook his head: "Your Highness, that man only said that he had something important to see you about."

Xiao Ji said: "Please invite the person in."

The manager quickly brought people in. Xiao Shun was holding a snow-white wolf in his hand. The wolf growled, and the manager was so scared that his legs went weak.

Xiao Ji frowned, a little unhappy. If you come, just come. Why bring a beast with you?

Xiao Shun knelt on one knee and presented a letter with both hands: "Your Highness, this is from my master."

Xiao Ji pinched the envelope and found it was bulging, as if there was something inside.

He opened the letter and took out the letter, which was indeed written by Pei Jinzhi.

Changwei, it’s like seeing you in person.

I will keep my promise and repay you everything I owe you.

The pearl is covered in dust. You have a wise eye, so you should cherish it.

I hope that we can be reunited someday.

Wen Ruo, respectfully submitted.

"The pearl is covered in dust?" Xiao Ji whispered, "What does this mean?"

He lifted the envelope and tilted it into his palm, and a golden lock fell out.

Baili Xi was quick-witted and picked it up immediately. "Hey, this lock..."

"Lu Ban's Thousand-Crafts Golden Lock?" Xiao Ji snatched the locket, his expression changing. "This belongs to my mother. How did Wen Ruo get it?"

Xiao Shun bowed his head, very respectfully: "The master said that this belongs to Miss Sang Wan, and ordered me to give it to the prince, and you will return it to its original owner."

"Sang Wan? What did you say? This is Sang Wan's lock? How did she get it? She, she, where did she get it?!"

Xiao Ji, who was usually steady, was thrown into a panic. He didn't even have time to straighten his tongue and stumbled towards the east wing where Sang Wan was staying temporarily.

Baili Xi knew that this matter was of great importance, so he ran after him.

Seeing the serious expressions on their faces, Xiao Shun followed them.

A group of people appeared in Sang Wan's room, scaring Bai Shi.

"You all look like you've seen a ghost. What's going on?"

Xiao Ji hurriedly walked around the screen, not even caring about etiquette: "Who are you? How did you get this lock?"

He opened his palm and the golden locket fell down on the chain, bright yellow and very dazzling.

"I also want to know who I am." Sang Wan had just taken the medicine and felt tired and dull.

Those who knew about her life experience were either dead or crazy.

She reached out to take back the golden lock, but Xiao Ji clenched it tightly in his hand with an extremely solemn expression.

He stared at Sang Wan's face, again and again, which made people feel uneasy.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" She couldn't help but touch her face. "Is there something on my face?"

"Like, so much like." Xiao Ji choked up, his eyes red. He pulled Baili Xi over and pointed at Sang Wan and said to him, "From the first time I saw her, I realized that she looked a lot like my mother."

"Zi Ren, look at her eyes. She and Xiao Yue are similar because they both look like their mother!"

"You are my sister, Sang Wan! You are my biological sister!"

"Fifteen years, you're fifteen, the right age, the right person!"

Xiao Ji hugged Sang Wan and cried with joy!

Baili Xi was stunned and exchanged glances with Bai Shi:

"Another sister? Princess Nan'an gave birth to twins that day?!"

Bai Shi half raised his head and shook it slowly: "Life is like a chess game!"

The chess game is entirely in the hands of that brat.
