Sang Wan felt a little uncomfortable.

After all, what stood between them was Sang Jun's death.

But she didn't want to show her vulnerable side in front of Pei Jinzhi, so she forced herself to raise the corners of her lips and smiled deeply:

"Let's go! Can't I just leave, my Lord? Don't let me meet you again next time. Otherwise..."

She pretended to grit her teeth and said, "I will poison you to death."

"Heh. Cheng Buyu is really amazing. He raised a femme fatale." Pei Jinzhi said angrily.

"Who are you scolding, Pei Jinzhi?" Sang Wan was upset.

"Are you really willing to be a knife in their hands?" Pei Jinzhi frowned, a little anxious.

Sang Wan remained silent.

She remembered that eight years ago, when she was kneeling at the door of Tiansheng Hall and almost fainted, Cheng Buyu reached out to save her from the dire situation.

She was grateful and even secretly vowed to treat the Cheng couple as her reborn parents. But she never expected that there was such a deep conspiracy hidden in this.

They took her in not out of sympathy, but to train her to be a killer and use her for their own purposes.

"I don't want to. They are trying to harm me. The Hua family's plan to marry me as a concubine was also a conspiracy set up by them."

Looking back, it was not just one or two days that Mr. Hua had been staring at her with lustful eyes.

Pei Jinzhi sighed softly.

Tianxuanmen wants more than just these.

This is also the purpose of Pei Jinzhi's visit tonight.

He couldn't bear to see Sang Wan fall further.

The two of them were face to face, and the hot breath from Pei Jinzhi's nose spread across her face, making her feel a little warm.

A trace of warmth seeped into her heart, and she felt that she was not so sad anymore.

Pei Jinzhi seemed to have added a layer of warm protective shell for her, and she felt that it was not so uncomfortable to nestle under him.

"Oh no! What about my brother? He hasn't come back all night. Could he have fallen into the hands of the Tianxuan Sect?"

Sang Wan began to twist again:

"No, I have to go find him."

"Don't move." Pei Jinzhi almost gritted his teeth, "If you move again, I will not let you go."

"But I'm not feeling well. It hurts here." Sang Wan reached down and said, "Your bones are really hard."

"Let go." Pei Jinzhi blushed.

"Why is it so hot?" Sang Wan muttered.

Then she pulled her hand back as if she had been stung by a bee.

She has worked in the pharmacy for many years and has seen maps of human acupuncture points.

Sang Wan wished she could bite off her tongue.

Both of them were silent in the darkness.

The air was very quiet.

Raindrops hit the windowsill and gathered into small streams, making a gurgling sound and rushing forward joyfully.

"Sang Daqing, he is not from Tianxuan Sect."

Sang Wan was making small talk.

"I know." Pei Jinzhi said in a low voice, "He's fine, he will be back."

He was just teaching Sang Daqing a little lesson.

He was a little worried and added:

"Keep some money for yourself, and don't let him sell it again."

"Okay." Sang Wan pursed her lips, her heart pounding.

The money won from the gambling house had long been taken away by Sang Daqing.

She doesn't have any money on her.

"I have fifty taels of silver on me. Take it."

Pei Jinzhi pursed his lips and motioned her to take it out:

"It's yours."

Sang Wan shook her head, "I gave it back to you."

...There was another long silence.

"Where are you going?" Pei Jinzhi spoke first.

Sang Wan lowered her eyes, bewildered: "I don't know."

Pei Jinzhi thought about it and swallowed back his words about keeping her.

The two fell silent again.

"How did you poison me? I didn't even notice it."

"Don't tell you."

……

Two hours felt like hundreds of years.

Sang Wan was forced to hug him at first, but gradually she got used to his weight. Pei Jinzhi's voice was low and magnetic, which made people feel at ease.

Perhaps because he was tired, Sang Wan fell asleep unknowingly.

Pei Jinzhi listened to the even breathing and suddenly felt it was absurd.

She actually fell asleep like this. Where was the promised vigilance?

They are like lone travelers in the wilderness, meeting by chance, yet so frank.

This is not him, nor should it be him;

He is supposed to distrust everyone equally.

But she did it and became the exception.

The rain outside the window stopped at some point.

He looked down at her bright face in the moonlight and suddenly felt reluctant to leave.

Goodbye, Jianghu. Never see you again, Sang Wan.

*

Sang Wan was awakened by a cool breeze.

Liu Yumei held up a wooden basin and pointed at her angrily, cursing:

"You silly girl, I told you to go find your brother, and you fell asleep on the ground? Are you crazy? You're like a wild boar that can't handle fine bran. You deserve to be poor. Now you have a bed but you insist on sleeping on the ground. How can you be so shameless?!"

Sang Wan was soaked from head to toe and sneezed several times.

"Sister-in-law, just call me, why are you splashing water?"

As she spoke, she glanced around. Where was Pei Jinzhi?

Is he hiding?

"If I don't splash you, you won't wake up. Look at what time it is now? The sun is already shining! Hurry up and go find your brother."

"He has hands and feet, he will come home naturally. Why are you so anxious?"

"Hey, look, look, this is the daughter that the Sang family raised with all their heart and soul. Where is your conscience, Sang Wan? Has your conscience been eaten by a dog? Your brother hasn't come back for two days. What should we do if he is caught by thieves?" Liu Yumei's facial features were distorted.

Sang Wan couldn't help but sneer, and wiped the water stains on her face with cotton cloth:

"Sister-in-law, he's more like a thief. In Fengshui Town, who doesn't know Sang Daqing?"

He is a scoundrel who will skin anyone who touches him. No thief can catch him.

"Look at what you're saying, are you human? Your brother's rich now, who knows if he's been entangled by some vixen. Sang Wan, your sister-in-law has been very kind to you, you must not hide it from me."

"Sister-in-law, don't let your imagination run wild. I'll just change my clothes and go, okay?"

Sang Wan was still worried about Pei Jinzhi and was anxious to get rid of Liu Yumei.

"Hurry up, the sun will set if you're any later."

"Okay, okay, okay." As soon as Liu Yumei took a step out, Sang Wan immediately locked the door without any hesitation.

"Hey, you damn girl!"

Liu Yumei cursed at the door for a while before leaving.

Sang Wan only dared to speak after seeing her voice fade away:

"Pei Jinzhi, are you still there?"

"Your Majesty..."

"Pei..." Her gaze fell on the head of her bed, where a piece of paper was pressed under her pillow.

Sang Wan walked closer and saw that it was the fifty-liang silver note.

He actually gave her the money back.

So, the person is gone?

Sang Wan searched everywhere under the bed and in the cabinets, but there was no trace of him.

Tianshengtang, yes, he sent people to raid Tianshengtang last night.

Sang Wan immediately changed her clothes and went out to see what was going on.

*

The streets are deserted, and today is particularly quiet.

When she ran into Brother Liu, who was selling vegetables at the market, he quickly pulled her aside and said, "Miss Sang, why are you still running out? Go home quickly."

"Brother Liu, what's going on? Why are the streets suddenly so deserted?"

Brother Liu was terrified and rubbed his hands, saying:

"You don't know, Tiansheng Hall was surrounded by soldiers last night. They said they were plotting to murder the prince of the Zhenguo Mansion. Oh my god! Those hundreds of soldiers, all in armor and carrying swords, were terrifying."

"What about Doctor Cheng, Madam Cheng, Chen Pi, Tian Qi and the others? Where are they?"

"I don't know where Doctor Cheng and Madam Cheng have gone. All the servants and handymen in your pharmacy have been thrown into jail. God has mercy on you, you'd better go back quickly. Don't let anyone know that you worked at Tiansheng Hall."

Cheng Buyu and Madam Cheng ran away?

He is indeed an old fox.

"Miss Sang, hurry back. The streets are under martial law. I heard the government has sent the imperial guards to our Fengshui. It's going to be a big scene."

At this time, the owner of another rouge shop also closed the door and said in a low voice: "Keep your voices down. The soldiers are still patrolling. Don't let anyone arrest you."

Sang Wan remembered Pei Jinzhi's warning last night, and immediately turned around and ran home.

We must go, the sooner the better!
