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

For some reason the carriage went around half the city.

Sang Wan looked at the streets and alleys and felt as if she were in another world.

She had only been in Pei Mansion for two or three days, but it felt like she had been away from Fengshui Town for several years.

"Why don't you turn left? The pharmacy is just around the corner."

Sang Wan knew the way and was wondering why they had to go in a circle.

"I'm happy to." Pei Jinzhi half closed his eyes.

Sang Wan pursed her lips and said nothing.

A villain, a real villain.

Is it necessary for this Taiping town to be so cautious?

It seemed like everyone wanted to harm him.

After finally completing the circle, the carriage stopped at Tianshengtang.

Shi Luochuan stood beside the calligraphy and painting stall and waved at her, as happy as a child.

Sang Wan was delighted and couldn't wait to run to his side.

But Pei Jinzhi cleared his cough again, so she had to stop and obediently accompany him into the pharmacy.

"I'll find you later."

Sang Wan pursed her lips and smiled softly, looking back as she walked.

Shi Luochuan looked at her, his brows as gentle as jade.

The sunlight shone on his body, casting a layer of golden glow, which warmed people's hearts and made them want to get closer.

Pei Jinzhi sneered.

Sang Wan quickly turned her head back and curled her lips.

Cheng Buyu had already prepared a clean clinic.

"My Lord, please come in."

Pei Jinzhi nodded slightly and looked at Sang Wan:

"You stay outside and watch."

Sang Wan couldn't wait to say: "Yes."

She lowered the curtain and quietly retreated.

Shi Luochuan was already looking out the door.

"Brother Luochuan!"

Sang Wan trotted towards him like a happy bird.

"Awan, what happened to your hand?"

Shi Luochuan's gaze fell on the back of her swollen and bruised hand, his heartache and nervousness evident in his words.

"It's okay, it's okay. I just got bruised. I've applied medicine."

Sang Wan retracted her hand and put it behind her back.

She raised a bright smile:

"Brother Luochuan, how many calligraphy and paintings did you sell today?"

Shi Luochuan lowered his head shyly:

"I haven't opened my shop yet today. Ever since you left Tianshengtang, fewer people have come to my calligraphy and painting stall."

"That's right! I am your lucky magpie."

Sang Wan smiled coquettishly.

The early summer breeze blew her hair, and even the sunlight falling on her face became gentle and bright.

She is more gorgeous than the summer flowers.

Shi Luochuan was mesmerized and said in a low and soft voice:

"Of course, Ah Wan is the best."

Sang Wan blushed and lowered her eyes embarrassedly.

"Awan, I went to see my aunt. She was relieved when she heard that you were okay."

"Mom must miss me." Sang Wan was very sad.

She had no choice but to run away from the marriage, which must have caused a lot of trouble for her family.

"How's things going at home?"

"Your brother had someone repair the damage done by the Hua family. You used the money to pay off his debt, and he's been much more honest these past two days. But how are you going to pay me back?"

Sang Wan knew what he was worried about, so she whispered to him about the fifty taels of silver he could exchange for his detoxification merit.

"I have confidence in Doctor Cheng. And even if it doesn't work out, I still have my monthly allowance, so I can save it up and pay it back slowly."

Shi Luochuan took out a cloth bag from his pocket and handed it to Sang Wan:

"This is what I earned from selling a few paintings. I'll give it all to you. There's over twenty taels in it. When Prince Pei comes out, I'll tell him to let you go home first. We don't owe him anything. As for the rest, I'll sell my paintings and calligraphy to pay you back."

"That won't do. Brother Luochuan, you're going to Beijing to take the imperial examination soon, and you'll need money for many other things."

Sang Wan pushed the cloth bag back:

"I already owe you so much that I don't know how to repay you."

The two men put their hands on the cloth bag and pushed it back and forth, and Shi Luochuan became anxious.

"Awan, you can't stay in Pei Mansion anymore."

He lowered his voice, his eyes full of anxiety:

"Pei Jinzhi is the Luosha Master from the capital! I heard he has many lives on his hands."

Sang Wan sighed and looked at him gratefully:

"That's why you can't annoy him. I'll find a way to leave."

Shi Luochuan was stunned for a moment, "You know?"

Sang Wan nodded and smiled:

"Brother Luochuan, you care about me more than my brother does."

"Of course, you are..." Shi Luochuan touched his ears, feeling a little embarrassed:

"The elders of the clan said that once I finish high school, they'll decorate the ancestral house in preparation for my marriage. Those two or three tiled houses are a bit run-down, but after some tidying up, they'll be spacious and tidy. There's also a large patio, which will be convenient for gathering and drying herbs in the future."

Sang Wan's cheeks were flushed, as if she was drunk, and her voice was as thin as a mosquito:

"Why should I go to your house to dry medicine?"

Shi Luochuan thought she didn't understand, so he took a deep breath and blushed as he expressed his feelings:

"Awan, I like you and want to marry you."

He hid his feelings deeply, thinking of coming back to ask her to marry him after he finished high school; but by some mistake, Sang Wan entered the Pei Mansion, and he was restless.

Sang Wan's face flushed to her ears, she lowered her head and rubbed her fingers:

"I can't even write, how can I be worthy of you?"

"She's a good match. Ah Wan is kindhearted and doesn't despise my poor family. It would be a blessing for me to marry you."

Shi Luochuan shyly took out a silver hairpin from his sleeve and placed it in Sang Wan's palm:

"This is a gift from my heart, Ah Wan, please accept it."

The silver hairpin is a simple holly-grass pattern, but it is carved very delicately. It can be seen that Shi Luochuan put a lot of thought into it.

Sang Wan pinched her palms until they were hot, and her face was also hot. She didn't know what to say for a moment.

She wanted to say that she was mud on the ground, how could she be worthy of his handsome appearance; but Shi Luochuan's feelings were as sweet as honey, which made her numb heart have a trace of delusion.

It turns out that she is also loved and cared for by someone.

*

"Sang Wan..." Madam Cheng was calling her.

The two of them immediately moved apart like springs.

In a panic, Sang Wan stuffed the silver hairpin into her sleeve and said, "Hey, Madam Cheng, I'm here."

"Come here, let me see you. You have lost so much weight!"

Madam Cheng took her hand and walked into the pavilion of the medicine shop very affectionately.

After entering the room, Sang Wan quietly withdrew her hand.

Madam Cheng was startled for a moment, then smiled brightly again:

"Why do you feel so alienated from me after entering Pei's residence?"

"Madam Cheng, why are you trying to harm me?"

Sang Wan took a deep breath, biting her lower lip until it turned white.

She had a lot of questions in her mind, and she came here today just to confront her.

That day, she was confined to her brother's house and forced to become a concubine. Madam Cheng took the opportunity to see her and told her how to escape.

But this road is not a way to escape.

She almost died at Pei Jinzhi's hands.

"Look at what you said, you have no conscience, Sang Wan." Madam Cheng was heartbroken.

"Did I save you? I told you to jump into the river and get on the pleasure boat, and you would survive. Aren't you alive now?"

Sang Wan's eyes were cold. "Madam Cheng, now that it has come to this, why are you still pretending to be so sincere? How did you know Pei Jinzhi was on the pleasure boat?"

"Also, he almost strangled me to death that day. How could you have been so sure that I could survive him?"

"Also, how did you know that Pei Jinzhi had residual poison in his body, and how did you use me as a guide to help Doctor Cheng?"

"Madam Cheng, you are not saving me, you are using my life to get close to Pei Jinzhi."
