My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

Ji Yunshuang narrowed her eyes and looked at the medicine in the porcelain bottle.

Is this medicine also related to that kind of insect?

While she was pondering the medicine in the porcelain bottle, Fu Pei was also carefully pondering her.

His mind raced, trying to figure out how to win her over and save his own life.

Thinking of the surprised expression on her face when she heard about the witch clan's witch, he asked, "Are you looking for the witch clan's most precious treasure?"

Ji Yunshuang shifted her gaze from the pills in the porcelain bottle to Fu Pei and asked, "A treasure of the Witch Clan?"

“Yes, I’ve heard that the Witch Clan’s most precious treasure is a legacy passed down from their ancestors, capable of bringing ordinary people back to life. You…”

As Fu Pei was speaking, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "You are a demon. If you obtain this, you might be able to attain immortality. If you spare me and cooperate with me, I will help you attain immortality."

Ji Yunshuang chuckled lightly, "Oh? How do you plan to help me obtain the Witch Clan's supreme treasure?"

Fu Pei said, "I... I can take you to the Witch Clan to find the witch. I have a connection with that witch. We can seize the Witch Clan's treasure while she's off guard. Besides, I have money. You heal my injuries first, and I'll help you with everything else."

Ji Yunshuang said, "Since you are so sincere, then tell me which bottle of antidote is for the Softening Tendons and Soothing Bones Powder!"

Fu Pei hurriedly said, "The white jade bottle contains the antidote. Just let the person taking the medicine smell it to detoxify."

The blue bottle contains a poison called "Softening Tendons and Melting Bones Powder." To poison someone, simply dip a needle in it and prick the victim's body; the victim will become weak and powerless, utterly unable to resist.

Ji Yunshuang raised an eyebrow and glanced at him, saying, "This medicine sounds quite potent. Do you have a poison expert under your command?"

"No, these were all collected from the martial arts world at great expense. I only have one bottle of both the poison and the antidote."

After Fu Ci finished speaking, he added, "I've said everything you asked me to say. Now, can you treat my injuries?"

"Let me check first to see if you're lying to me."

Ji Yunshuang left the space with two bottles of medicine.

As for treating his injuries or cooperating with him, that was simply a pipe dream.

Ji Yunshuang first dipped a needle in the poison of the "Tendon-Softening and Bone-Soothing Powder," and then directly inserted the poisoned needle into Yan's neck.

Yan was on her way to report to the organization, but after returning, she was kidnapped, blindfolded, gagged, and tied up.

Just as she was feeling uneasy and wondering how the other party would deal with her, the other party made no further moves.

She remained in the darkness in terror for an unknown amount of time when the person suddenly returned and stabbed her neck with something.

In an instant, she felt all the strength drain from her body.

At that moment, the other party untied the ropes binding her and removed the black cloth covering her eyes.

When the black cloth was removed, Yan realized that the woman in front of her was actually the person they were assigned to keep an eye on.

Thinking about how she went to deliver a message to her superiors and was kidnapped upon her return, what didn't she understand?

She was afraid that the other party had already discovered her, even though she thought she had hidden herself very well. Little did she know that the other party knew all along and deliberately set a trap to lure her out.

She was so stupid. Before she was arrested, she thought herself clever, believing that her master overestimated Ji Shi and that Ji Shi was nothing special...

Ji Yunshuang observed Yan's reaction and, seeing that her reaction was similar to Zhong Xu's, confirmed that what Fu Pei had told her was true before slowly removing the rag stuffed in her mouth.

"I suppose you already know, without me even having to tell you, that you've been exposed, haven't you?"

Knowing she couldn't deny it, Yan stopped denying it and said, "It's because I'm not as skilled as you. You can kill me or do whatever you want with me."

Ji Yunshuang laughed and said, "Although you were exposed before I could even drink a cup of tea, your stealth skills are not entirely useless. I imagine you put in a lot of effort to master them. It would be a pity if you died like this."

"What do you want me to do?" Yan asked warily. "I will never betray my master."

Ji Yunshuang said, "What if you no longer have a master? What I want you to do is not something that betrays your master, is it?"

Yan's eyes were full of confusion; she clearly did not understand what it meant that she no longer had a master.

Before she could figure it out, Ji Yunshuang continued, "Besides, you're in my hands now. Do you think you have a choice? Or are you willing to risk your own life for your so-called master?"

Yan asked, "What do you want me to do?"

"First, take your fake daughter with dwarfism and move out of Shuanghe Village, and don't ever appear in front of my daughter again."

Ji Yunshuang said, "As for the rest, that's up to you. If you want to follow me in the future, you can come and surrender."

Madam Yan was somewhat incredulous. She wouldn't kill her; she just wanted them to move out and not appear in front of her daughter.

"Really? All we have to do is move away from Shuanghe Village? You're not going to wait until we move away from Shuanghe Village before you kill us, are you?"

The more Yan thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

She heard that Lady Ji doted on her two children.

The reason we're not taking action against them now is because we're worried the children will be upset if they find out. So we're waiting until they move out openly before taking action against them.

“If I wanted to kill you, I would do it now. Why bother with all this trouble?”

Ji Yunshuang saw the suspicion in her heart, "You don't actually think that because of your fake daughter, I'll be hesitant to act against you, do you?"

She paused, then said, "I was originally going to give you another chance, but since you don't want it, then forget it."

Yan hurriedly said, "Thank you for the opportunity, General Xie. I will go back now and prepare to move immediately."

Ji Yunshuang took out another bottle of antidote and let her smell it. After seeing that the poison was neutralized, she turned and left.

As for whether she wanted to come and seek refuge with her, she didn't bother to say anything more.

Now that Fu Pei has disappeared, their group is leaderless and will have to find their own way out sooner or later.

She simply doesn't understand her situation yet. Once she does, she'll realize what she's missed.

When the time comes, she will come begging to me without me having to say a word.

She doesn't need to waste her energy on these small fish and shrimp.

When Yan saw that Ji Yunshuang had really left and did not intend to make things difficult for her, she felt somewhat incredulous that she had actually let her go like that.

Unable to figure out what Ji Yunshuang was up to, she could only hurry back to pack her things and move away from Shuanghe Village.

Meanwhile, Bo Ling and Dark Eagle had searched almost the entire Hongdu, but still couldn't find Fu Pei. Just as the two were getting anxious, Fu Ci's men arrived at the Dark Mansion.

All the people in the dark mansion were brought before the prince.

Bo Ling had previously suspected that Fu Pei's disappearance was related to Fu Ci, but he had never been able to find any clues.

The raid on the secret residence confirmed his suspicions.

Upon arriving before Prince Rui, he didn't rush to distance himself from Fu Pei, but instead kowtowed to Prince Rui and said, "Your Highness, please save the Third Young Master!"

Although the Third Young Master has secretly acquired a residence and some manpower, he only intended to help the Prince. Even if he didn't report his actions to the Prince beforehand, he doesn't deserve to die! I beg the Prince to spare the Third Young Master's life.”
