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

She paced back and forth in the room bored.

Pei Jinzhi's sword was hanging on the hook of the bedside curtain.

"I heard that this sword of yours was given to you by the late emperor?"

Sang Wan took down the Chengying Sword with great interest.

The scabbard is made of black iron carved with fish scales, and is straight and hard.

Sang Wan pulled the sword lightly and it came out of its sheath.

The sword body is extremely thin, crystal clear as frost, flashing with a chilling cold light; with a slight wave, the tip of the sword moves like a dragon, as if it can cut through the sky.

"It is indeed a good sword."

"If you die, wouldn't it be a shame to bury this sword with you?"

As soon as Sang Wan finished speaking, he slapped his mouth again:

"Damn it. Cursing you is cursing myself."

There was a noisy sound outside.

The maid outside the door seemed unable to stop it, and the door was pushed open with a bang.

It was Pei Yanting, his face flushed as if he had drunk too much.

"Hey, let me see who this is!" He recognized Sang Wan at a glance, "So it's you, you lowly bitch!"

Sang Wan gripped the sword tightly and stepped back cautiously: "Watch your mouth!"

The maid Yun Que quickly stood in front of Sang Wan, trying to stop him from getting any closer: "Second Young Master, you've had too much to drink! Please leave quickly!"

Pei Yanting pushed Yunque to the ground and said, "Get out of the way. I, I'm talking to my sister-in-law!"

He licked his face and winked at Sang Wan, then burped, filling the room with a foul smell.

Sang Wan pinched her nose, her face full of disgust.

"Why would such a beauty be buried with this sickly person?"

Pei Yanting opened his arms and rushed towards Sang Wan.

"Just follow me!"

He missed and turned around to try again.

"Get out of here!" Sang Wan drew out the Chengying sword without thinking, and the tip of the sword flashed with a cold light, cutting through Pei Yanting's shoulder.

A red bloodstain instantly appeared on the outer robe.

Pei Yanting was horrified and almost sobered up:

"How dare you attack me?"

"I dare! Why wouldn't I dare? This is Pei Jinzhi's Zhaoyun Courtyard! You trespassed into the inner room and teased me. Even if I report you to the old lady, I'm not afraid of you!"

Pei Yanting's face turned pale and blue, as if he was hesitating about his next move.

Sang Wan gripped the sword tightly and pointed it at Pei Yanting's chest: "Get out of here! If you don't, my sword won't have eyes!"

She called out to the maid, "Yuque, go to Chunhui Hall and invite the old lady over so we can talk it out."

Pei Yanting grabbed the maid's hair and pulled her to the ground: "Don't go!"

"Just wait and see, bitch! If that sickly guy doesn't wake up tomorrow, you'll be buried with him!"

Sang Wan, sword in hand, followed him out of the room.

"My bond with the prince is stronger than gold. We will sleep together in life and be buried together in death! I will watch you die, but he won't die! Get out!"

Pei Yanting stamped his feet in anger and stumbled out of Zhaoyun Courtyard as he was helped by servants.

Sang Wan breathed a sigh of relief, only to realize that his hand holding the sword was shaking constantly.

"Skylark, are you hurt?"

She put down her sword and helped the maid up.

"Miss Sang, I'm fine."

Yunque squeezed her hand, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Seeing her frown, Sang Wan couldn't help but ask:

"what happened to you?"

Yun Que bit her lip and thought for a while, then made up her mind and said:

"Run away! I just saw them carrying the coffin into the mansion through the corner gate!"

Coffin... Could it be...

She looked at Pei Jinzhi lying on the bed again. The red candle was flickering, but his face was completely bloodless, and seemed to be turning from white to blue. Even his breathing seemed to have stopped.

Sang Wan's heart tightened and she felt a little confused.

"Thank you, Skylark. Let me think about it."

Yunque nodded and slowly walked to the door:

"Miss Sang, as slaves, we may not have the same fate as nobles, but we still want to live. I have an ailing mother at home, just like you, so I won't harm you. If you are determined, I will cover for you."

These words made Sang Wan's eyes red.

She pursed her lips tightly to prevent the tears from falling.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Yunque sighed and closed the door silently.

Sang Wan sat at the round table in the room, lost in thought.

To go or to stay?

Tonight she thought she was doomed, but Pei Jinzhi saved her again. If she abandoned him at this moment, she would not be able to get over the hurdle in her heart.

Sang Wan sighed, picked up the Chengying Sword, and walked towards Pei Jinzhi. Under the red gauze curtains and the brocade bed, he lay alone.

Sang Wan sat at the head of the bed and said quietly:

"You say my father is a bandit, a thief, but he taught me from a young age that righteousness is the most important thing in life, and I'd rather learn from Taoyuan than Wagang. You didn't have to come tonight, but you did. This is your righteousness. You treated me like this, so I can't abandon you. Otherwise, my father will curse me in heaven."

She drew out the Chengying Sword and untied Pei Jinzhi's clothes: "My Lord, I'm sorry!"

There was a thud as if a tile had fallen from the roof, a particularly loud noise at night. Sang Wan was startled by the loud noise, and the scabbard in her hand fell to the ground.

She lowered her head and was attracted by a bright yellow corner on the ground.

Just as she was busy picking up the scabbard, Li Jiu pushed the door open and walked in.

"Miss Sang."

Sang Wan put the Chengying Sword back and handed it to Li Jiu:

"You've come just in time, Brother Li Jiu. This sword is too long. I need a dagger."

Li Jiu's eyes were full of suspicion: "What do you want the dagger for?"

"I thought, there is only one way to save the prince!"

"What method?" Li Jiu couldn't suppress his excitement.

"Bloodletting through the meridians."

Sang Wan's eyes sparkled with stars. "The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine records that those who eliminate Yuan Chen will cause bad blood. Using silver needles to prick the superficial meridians and several acupoints can dissipate heat, remove evil, dissolve blood stasis, dredge the meridians, and detoxify and provide first aid."

"I also heard from Brother Luochuan that the Records of the Grand Historian recorded the story of the legendary doctor Bian Que treating the crown prince of Guo. The crown prince had contracted cadaveric syndrome and was unconscious. Bian Que instructed his disciple Ziyang to pierce the acupuncture points with a sharp needle and sharpen the stone. After the acupuncture points bled, the crown prince woke up."

Li Jiu bowed and said, "Okay, if you need anything, Miss Sang, just let me know."

"Do you believe me?" Sang Wan was a little surprised.

She thought it would take a lot of time to convince Li Jiu.

After all, the two of them had a deep affection for each other as master and servant, and it was no small matter for them to resort to violence against Pei Jinzhi.

"The prince has instructed us beforehand that in case of emergency, we should take the necessary measures and leave everything to Miss Sang."

"Ah?!" Sang Wan's eyes were filled with disbelief. "Me?"

"Yes! Time is running out, Miss Sang, tell us quickly what we need to prepare." Li Jiu urged impatiently.

It was nearly midnight and there was no time to waste.

Sang Wan took a deep breath and clenched his palms:

"Okay, prepare the liquor, silver needles, daggers, and wound medicine, and call Qinghe."

Li Jiu hesitated: "Are you sure?"

"I was afraid that I couldn't find the acupuncture points. With Qinghe here, I can get twice the result with half the effort." Sang Wan explained.

Li Jiu nodded, bowed and left.

Sang Wan held him back again: "Remember, don't let anyone else know."

Pei Jinzhi is the son of the Duke of Zhenguo, and his status is extraordinary;

Our hair and body are given by our parents, not to mention our blood; if people in the mansion knew about it, they would definitely try to stop us.

Li Jiu is a smart man: "I know."
