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

Pei Jinzhi kept his word and quickly had a table of delicious food prepared.

The two sat down to eat. Sang Wan was not used to having someone standing next to him while eating, so Pei Jinzhi sent the servant away.

Seeing that there was no one around, Sang Wan told him about the night when she caught Qian Lu having an affair in Yuanzi's garden.

"He wanted to kill me, that's definitely not the reason."

Pei Jinzhi's eyes were deep. He raised his chopsticks and put a piece of meat in her bowl. "Did you see the woman's face clearly that night?"

Sang Wan chewed something and shook her head: "Hmm... It was too dark, I couldn't see it."

"That maid fell into the lotus pond and died that night."

Sang Wan was stunned, and then she felt something was wrong: "Since the person she was having an affair with is dead, why did she kill me to silence me?"

She looked up at Pei Jinzhi's expression and suddenly realized:

"That maid is a scapegoat? Then the real..."

"Eat more and talk less." Pei Jin fed her a mouthful of ice cream and blocked her mouth.

The icy cold yogurt melted in my mouth in an instant, so cold that my teeth were about to fall off.

She ran her finger across her mouth: "Don't worry, my lord, I'm very tight-lipped."

The real object of the affair must be someone important in the mansion. But there are only a few female relatives, who could it be?

The Third Miss? She's so picky, would she be attracted to that dwarf Qian Lu?

Aunt Zhao? Never met her.

Madam? No way?

Old lady?!

Bah! What are you thinking? She is so old.

Sang Wan thought about it and cast a suspicious look on Aunt Zhao and Madam Kang.

She looked up at Pei Jinzhi again, their eyes met, and everything was said without words.

On both sides are the Duke's green hat, regardless of dark green or light green.

Sang Wan sighed and patted Pei Jinzhi on the shoulder: "My condolences, brother."

Pei Jinzhi was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Shut up and eat."

"By the way, where is Bai Shi?" Sang Wan didn't see anyone.

"He's waiting for me in the study. He needs to see me again. It's okay. I'll go after you've eaten."

"I'm full, go ahead."

Sang Wan put down her chopsticks immediately.

Although the newly refined antidote cured the poison, she was still worried.

*

The light in Pei Jinzhi's study was on all night. Bai Shi used acupuncture to heal his wounds again. Everyone was relieved until they were sure that the poison was completely eliminated.

Sang Wan held on until the end and was so sleepy that he fell asleep as soon as he returned to his room.

This sleep lasted for a whole day and night.

When Skylark called her, she was still in her dream, trekking through mountains and rivers and collecting herbs everywhere.

"Grandma, the prince is waiting for you outside the courtyard."

Sang Wan yawned: "Isn't the prince resting? Why are you waiting for me?"

"You'll know when you go."

Skylark handed over several new sets of clothes.

"This is a ready-made garment that the prince specially ordered. Please try it on. The embroiderer from the mansion will come to take your measurements in the next two days and then sew a new garment for you."

The clothes are all made of fine brocade, with bright and dazzling colors.

Sang Wan felt that it was too gorgeous, so she chose the most plain purple dress to put on. Yunque's eyes were wide open.

"Grandma, you are so beautiful, I am moved."

Sang Wan blushed and tapped her forehead lightly with her fingertips:

"Skylark, you're becoming more and more talkative."

*

A man in purple clothes came over. Pei Jinzhi was talking to Li Jiu. When he turned around, his eyes fell on Sang Wan and he couldn't take his eyes off her.

Where she stood, there happened to be layers of blue snowflakes climbing up the pillars and stone walls of the pavilion, making her look as delicate as a flower.

Her eyebrows are delicate, her gaze is graceful, and she is elegant and refined.

She was laughing, and Pei Jinzhi laughed too: "Come here."

He raised his hand, and the sunlight fell on his palm, making people want to get closer and closer.

Sang Wan was like a happy little bird, and she came to him in two steps: "Master, why are you up?"

"Didn't you say you wanted to learn martial arts? It just so happens that Li Jiu is here today, so choose a weapon that suits you."

Li Jiu could no longer contain his excitement and waved his hands, displaying the weapon rack behind him:

"Swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks, forks, whips, maces, hammers, spears, halberds, sticks, spears, rakes, eighteen kinds of weapons, you can choose as you like."

Sang Wan stared blankly: "So many."

Li Jiu looked a little proud, and took up his weapon, showing off his skills.

Pei Jinzhi smiled and asked, "Which one do you like?"

Sang Wan followed Li Jiu and tried one by one, but she was really powerless and those weapons were too heavy for her.

She tried her best to lift the Qianjin Ding, but she just couldn't lift it.

Li Jiu burst into laughter, and Pei Jinzhi shook his head repeatedly.

Sang Wan was so angry that she put her hands on her hips and said, "Is there nothing lighter?"

"A gentleman should master the Six Arts, a woman the Eight Graces. In my opinion, it's better to learn archery. Once you master it, you can shoot an arrow through a target from a hundred paces away, without having to resort to brute force like men. What do you think?"

Pei Jinzhi walked to the side slowly and picked up a bow.

He just pulled the bowstring lightly, and the arrow hit the bull's eye.

Sang Wan couldn't help but exclaim in amazement and applauded: "Amazing!"

"Of course, the prince's riding and archery skills are among the best in the capital."

Recalling the past, Li Jiu is very proud.

I remember that the prince used to go hunting with the late emperor. He rode away from the crowd and never missed his target with his arrows. He was so famous at that time.

If it weren't for the poison from the evergreen...

When he thought of this, Li Jiu's eyes turned red again.

Sang Wan felt quite uncomfortable after hearing this.

After all, if Pei Jinzhi hadn't fought with Sang Jun outside the capital, he wouldn't be what he is today.

"Try it." Pei Jinzhi handed the bow to her.

The bamboo bow handle is curved like a streamline, and Sang Wan can hold it with one hand. It is extremely light.

Pei Jinzhi stood behind him, holding her shoulders and teaching her how to draw the bow:

"Stand up straight, feet parallel, center of gravity stable; look forward, and let go!"

Sang Wan used all his strength, and as soon as the arrow flew out, he fell headfirst to the ground.

Li Jiu laughed loudly, and Pei Jinzhi gave him a sidelong glance: "Don't be impatient, try again."

Sang Wan was unwilling to give up and tried a few more times, but there was still no progress.

Seeing that she was getting anxious, Pei Jinzhi took over, hugged her, and taught her step by step: "The most important thing to avoid in archery is anxiety. You must eliminate all distractions and only focus on your goal."

His big hand guided her hand to draw the bow, and he whispered in her ear: "Release!"

The arrow seemed different from the previous times. It rushed forward with full force and hit the bull's eye!

"Wow! I did it!" Sang Wan almost jumped up excitedly: "I did it!"

Her smile is unrestrained and bright, as brilliant as the summer sunshine; unrestrained, as if the world is meant to be this free and easy.

Pei Jinzhi's eyes were deep, thinking of the freedom she had once talked about. Perhaps this was what her freedom looked like.

"Master, Grandma."

A sudden salute interrupted the two of them.

Sang Wan looked up and saw Qinghe, who was accompanying the doctor from the Fei Mansion to take the patient's pulse.

Pei Jinzhi nodded slightly, and Li Jiu led the court doctor to the study. After they left, Sang Wan excitedly pulled Qing He up and said, "Sister, you're here!"

Qing He's expression was a little unnatural: "Grandma."

"Sister Qinghe, do you look down on me too?" Sang Wan let go of her hand in a daze.

Qing He was panicked. "Grandma, what are you talking about? It's just that our social statuses are different now, and it's not proper for you and I to call each other sisters."

"What are the rules? Others may not know, but you, sister, don't know? My marriage with the prince for good fortune is not valid in the first place."

Sang Wan took her hand and whispered, "You were a great hero that day. The prince remembers it all."

Qing He blushed and shook Sang Wan's hand:

"Hush! Keep your voice down. Don't let my uncle hear you. He's been very angry these days."

After retiring from the palace, Doctor Fei was invited to the Pei Mansion. He has been working diligently for more than ten years and the people in the Pei Mansion respect him very much. He never expected that he would fall so hard this time and now he is even more disheartened.

"My uncle said that he would retire and return home once the prince has recovered."

A trace of concern flashed in Sang Wan's eyes: "What about you, what are you going to do?"
