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

Sang Wan had never felt so powerless.

"It turns out that Cheng Buyu taught me how to use poison, and you taught me Qinggong, all in order to train me to be a pawn of the Tianxuan Sect."

Madam Cheng picked up her hair and smiled charmingly:

"Look, what you said is so hurtful."

"Who was it that knelt and cried at the door of Tiansheng Hall, begging my husband and I to take him in? Now you say this, you are truly an ungrateful person. If Brother Sang Jun is still alive, he would surely be heartbroken by your indifference."

"You still have the nerve to mention my father."

Sang Wan gritted her teeth and glared at Madam Cheng:

"You set me up, so why did the Hua family's mistress suddenly want to marry me as a concubine? It must have been your doing."

"Your brother owes a lot of debts to the gambling house, and your sister-in-law is asking around the town to find out where to sell it for the best price. If I hadn't introduced you to Mr. Hua, they would have sold you to a brothel long ago." Madam Cheng looked at you with contempt.

"Besides, wasn't it me who saved you from the Hua family's misfortune? Now that you can still stand here and talk to me, you should be grateful to me."

Sang Wan snorted, her eyes turning cold.

"Yes, I have to kowtow to you."

She had only suspected it before, but now it was completely confirmed.

Good tricks! Good schemes!

Seeing her gentle attitude, Madam Cheng's face brightened.

"We're all family. Ah Wan, you know we've always treated you like our own daughter. Bu Yu taught you how to use poison, and I taught you light martial arts, hoping that one day you'd be able to protect yourself. How could we fake the feelings we've shared for so many years? Now, we just need you to do what you can for Tianshengtang. Why are you being so harsh?"

"Oh, to the best of my ability?" Sang Wan was completely disappointed. "I almost died on the pleasure boat that night."

"But aren't you standing here alive?"

Madam Cheng asked back with a smile.

Only then did Sang Wan realize that she didn't understand the woman in front of her at all.

They run pharmacies and make a living by curing illnesses and saving lives, but deep down they regard human lives as worthless.

"If you help the leader get the imperial edict, you will enjoy endless wealth and glory in the future, and your mother will also be able to live a good life with you. Isn't that good?" Madam Cheng tempted her with benefits.

Sang Wan was silent for a long time.

She was weak and could only pretend to be compliant for the time being.

"The new emperor has already ascended the throne. What's the point of this useless imperial edict?"

Madam Cheng smiled and looked around and said something else:

"You don't have to worry about that. Just find the imperial edict and give it to me."

Sang Wan bit her lip and said, "Did he really kill my father?"

Madam Cheng raised her hands and swore to the sky:

"If I tell a lie, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death."

"I want to know the truth, the whole truth."

"Ask me, and I'll tell you everything I can answer."

Sang Wan asked about the robbery and murder that happened outside the capital. In order to gain her trust, Madam Cheng told her almost everything she knew.

In addition to the late emperor's Princess Jinghe, there was another girl in the carriage at that time, who was Princess Jianing, the younger sister of the emperor's favorite concubine today.

Madam Cheng added, "Yes, the county lady has also arrived in Fengshui Town."

Sang Wan was surprised: "Why are you all coming to Fengshui Town for the market?"

"Awan, that's great. Once we get the imperial edict, you can kill both of them and avenge your father."

"Why was Pei Jinzhi poisoned? Was it one of our people who did it?"

Sang Wan specifically used the word "we" to show his position.

Sure enough, this made Madam Cheng very happy.

"Of course not. We only knew about his poisoning when Bai Shi mentioned it."

Sang Wan frowned: "Is Bai Shi also from Tianxuan Sect?"

Madam Cheng shook her head: "No. Bai Shi did save Pei Jinzhi accidentally, and passed through Fengshui Town in search of the Golden Lotus."

"So, you prepared the Golden Lotus specially for him?"

Madam Cheng's eyes were filled with approval. "That's right. It's fate that Pei Jinzhi came to Fengshui Town and unexpectedly found this item. That's why we thought of letting you get close to him under the pretext of detoxification."

Sang Wan was a little indignant, "Why didn't you just kill him and avenge my father?"

"Ah Wan, Pei Jinzhi is the son of the Duke of Zhenguo. Many people want to kill him, otherwise, how could he be poisoned? His poison is called evergreen, which has been accumulating for years. The person who poisoned him is in the inner house. I don't need to tell you, you can guess it. In this case, killing him directly would be too easy for him, right?"

"He killed my father. I want him to be cut into pieces and suffer a fate worse than death!"

Sang Wan thought of Sang Jun's death and felt heartbroken. But...

"Pei Jin has been poisoned and is extremely wary. How could such a person trust me so easily? I'm afraid I can't do it."

Although she had only been in the Pei Mansion for a short time, how could she not tell what kind of person Pei Jinzhi was?

Not to mention gaining his trust, I'm afraid he would be suspicious of her every day and want to kill her.

Madam Cheng waved her handkerchief, with a plan in mind:

"Trust doesn't come overnight. It takes time and effort to penetrate a stone before you can enter his heart. If you help him detoxify, you're paving the way for yourself."

Sang Wan raised her lips and sneered, "Paving the way? You're kidding me."

"You might as well just take advantage of today to detoxify and put a knife to his neck. If he doesn't tell, just kill him."

Madam Cheng shook her head and laughed, "If he's someone who gives in so easily, how can he be called Pei Jinzhi?"

"Mrs. Cheng has used all sorts of tricks, but she still can't do anything to him?" Sang Wan didn't believe it.

Cheng Buyu is good at medicine; Cheng Niangzi is good at poison, but she just keeps it hidden.

"The imperial edict is of great importance. If we push him too hard, he might just ruin everything. The gain will be more than the loss."

Sang Wan pursed her lips and said tentatively, "He's a madman. He pulls out people's tongues and beats his servants to death at will. I'm afraid I won't live to see that day, and I'll die."

Madam Cheng smiled meaningfully: "He has his thunderous methods, and you have your expertise."

Sang Wan was puzzled: "What is my specialty? Making medicine?"

Madam Cheng smiled deeply: "My child, your face is the most powerful weapon in the world."

Sang Wanqing couldn't help but raise her hand and touch her cheek, where the red mark was still there.

Her heart sank: "Why is my face a weapon?"

"You just need to know that if you put your face in front of Pei Jinzhi, even if his heart is as hard as iron, it will soften."

Sang Wan recalled that day when Pei Jinzhi had intended to kill her, but he let go after seeing her face.

Could it be that she looks like someone Pei Jinzhi cares about?

Madam Cheng stared closely at the expression on Sang Wan's face:

"This mission is not only for the Sect Master, but also for your father."

"Ah Wan, if it weren't for Pei Jinzhi, how could the Sang family become what it is today?"

"If your father were still alive, you would be a pampered daughter at home. Why would you have to endure all this hardship?"

"Your mother wouldn't have contracted tuberculosis and had no money to treat it, so she could only lie at home and wait to die."

"Your brother would never go astray, nor would he marry that shrew Liu Yumei!"

"Awan, think about it, who hurt you?"

Sang Wan clenched her fists and lowered her eyes.

"It's Pei Jinzhi."

Madam Cheng's face was filled with joy, and she couldn't suppress the corners of her mouth:

"Exactly! When you find the imperial edict and complete the mission, you can have him hacked into pieces or have his intestines ripped apart, whatever you wish. Then, the sect leader will give you a new identity, and you can take your family and flee far away, living a carefree life."

"Really?" Sang Wan raised her eyes, her eyes red: "Is it really possible?"

"Of course. Not only you, but also your brother, sister-in-law, and nephew. I hope you can all live a good life, and Brother Sang Jun's spirit in heaven can rest in peace."

Sang Wan nodded. "What does the imperial edict look like?"

Madam Cheng was delighted and said, "Come closer and listen."
