Reborn as a doctor, he takes revenge and ruthlessly punishes the scum.

"Yu Shuyan?"

Wen Lang frowned unconsciously; he clearly hadn't expected Yu Shuyan to be here.

He finally managed to get close to Ouyang Xu through Ouyang Feng.

Judging from Ouyang Feng's words, whether he can be valued by Ouyang Xu and recommended to Princess Changning, thus gaining a chance for rapid advancement, depends on whether he can skillfully resolve Ouyang Feng's troubles and get rid of the troublesome Yuan Niangzi this time.

At this moment, Yu Shuyan, who had a close relationship with Yuan Niangzi, appeared here.

The art of Gu poison is no small matter. If not handled properly, it could even implicate the entire Wen family because of Yu Shuyan.

Although, if Yu Shuyan were involved, he could immediately divorce her and sever all ties.

But after so many years of hard work, he was about to escape poverty and become a person of high status. He absolutely could not allow any danger, not even the slightest one, to occur to him.

That bitch, not only is she useless, but she also dares to ruin his plans.

Once I've dealt with Yuan Niangzi, I'll immediately find a way to get rid of her. She's such a nuisance.

He cursed inwardly, glancing around, preparing to seize the opportunity to chase her away when no one was looking.

After all, he didn't want to be associated with this shameful old woman in front of everyone.

His little scheme was completely observed by Yu Shuyan, who noticed him as soon as she arrived.

Yu Shuyan couldn't help but secretly mock herself:

Was she blind in her past life? How could she be so devoted to such a man?

In his past life, he never took her out to social events.

Even when friends come to visit, he never lets her see them.

Tell her it's because you love her and don't want her to show her face in public.

Looking back now, it's utterly ridiculous.

Clearly, they just wanted to embarrass her.

Clearly, he was planning to become successful so he could better abandon his wife, who had no presence in his life.

If he truly couldn't bear to see her in public, then why didn't he worry about her doing the same when she went out to work in the fields?

Appearance.

He clearly despised her, yet she foolishly believed that he loved her.

Even in a past life.

From their marriage until her death, they only consummated their marriage once. It was during that time that they conceived their child.

He said he wanted to concentrate and prepare well for the exam.

She was secretly pleased that her husband was focused on his studies and of noble character.

Looking back now, I realize how unacceptable it is for a married couple to act like that.

He must have been disgusted by her.

They despise her, yet they need her dowry and the Yu family's financial support.

For him to face his wife, whom he considered a disgrace, for so many years, it must have been truly difficult.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come. Please take your invitations and move inside."

A maid, with a perfectly timed smile, walked out from the main gate and gave a slight bow to the crowd. Then, she stepped aside and gestured for them to enter.

Naturally, everyone turned their gaze away from Yu Shuyan and walked towards the gate.

Yu Shuyan noticed Wen Lang's warning gaze again.

If it were in her past life, a single glance from him would have made her extremely nervous, and she would have quickly done as he instructed.

But now, well...

Forget about his gaze; in her eyes, he was nothing but a fart.

However, Wen Lang's disgusted gaze made her even more certain that if the letter was fake, it had nothing to do with Wen Lang. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so reluctant to see her here.

She carefully observed everyone present.

She was certain that she would soon find out whether the letter was real or fake.

"Everyone, please wait a moment~"

A woman's soft voice suddenly rang out.

Everyone unconsciously stopped in their tracks, their eyes filled with doubt as they looked at the person who had spoken.

Wang Ziyue gave the gift to Zhou Ruifen, who was urging her with her eyes, and then gave a reassuring look before curtsying to everyone.

The maids who greeted the group appeared quite natural.

"Miss, may I ask what brings you here?"

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, Wang Ziyue became even more dignified and elegant.

"I'm sorry to disturb everyone. However, I'm doing this for everyone's safety. After all, there are always some scoundrels who try to sneak into Miss Situ's banquets. Do you all remember last time, there were actually two of Miss Situ's admirers who managed to sneak into the banquet and utter foul language towards Miss Situ, which ruined everyone's mood?"

Yu Shuyan raised her eyebrows slightly, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curved into a smile:

Oh it's you!

It seems the stationery was indeed fake.

However, she seemed to have no recollection of this woman. Why was she targeting her?

After hearing her words, everyone seemed to be deep in thought.

Seeing that no one echoed her, Zhou Ruifen hurriedly said:

"I think Ziyue has a point. If some people with ulterior motives were to infiltrate, it would be alarming..."

"It's a small matter if everyone is hurt, but it would be really bad if someone were injured."

Her words prompted everyone to nod in agreement.

Especially those men and women who wanted to curry favor with Zhou Rui's fans started to echo her sentiments:

“Miss Zhou is right.”

"Yes, the Prime Minister's residence is a very important place in the Great Yong Dynasty. If someone with ulterior motives were to sneak in and steal some of our Great Yong's state secrets, it would be extremely bad."

"Miss Zhou, you've thought of everything so thoroughly. You're truly insightful and have remarkable vision."

······

Hearing everyone's praise, Zhou Ruifen felt proud, but her expression was gentle and shy, and her eyes unconsciously stole glances at Wen Lang.

Yu Shuyan instantly caught the expectation and shyness in those eyes.

A look of understanding flashed in Yu Shuyan's eyes:

It seems she's not the only one who's blind!

This woman really went to great lengths for Wen Lang.

But she went to such great lengths to trick her into coming here with a fake letter.

Was it all just to embarrass her?

That level is really too low.

Or is there some other conspiracy behind this that she hasn't noticed?

Yu Shuyan looked at Wen Lang and happened to see that Wen Lang was momentarily surprised when he noticed Zhou Ruifen's adoring gaze.

He then returned her a gentle and refined smile.

This caused Zhou Ruifen's blush to deepen instantly, and she shyly and reluctantly turned her head away.

When Wen Lang saw her shy and timid appearance, a flash of smugness and calculation crossed his eyes.

Yu Shuyan snorted coldly:

It seems she's found a backup plan to replace her!

The maid readily agreed and looked at Zhou Ruifen:

"Then, Ms. Zhou, do you have any suggestions?"

Zhou Ruifen was still immersed in the smile Wen Lang had just given her. She didn't hear the maid's question at all. She just kept to herself, head down, blushing, twisting the handkerchief in her hand, and smiling shyly.

Logically speaking, Wang Ziyue should be the one reminding her at this time.

However, she simply stood quietly to one side.

His lowered eyes held an barely suppressed jealousy and resentment.

I was the one who was the first to warn them.

But these people completely ignored themselves. They all fawned over Zhou Rui, this stupid and foolish fan. Wasn't it simply because she was the daughter of a high-ranking official?

Since that's the case, everyone should take a good look.

Look at Zhou Ruifen, what a stupid, infatuated woman she is. What a shameless, despicable woman who's eyeing a married man!

Yu Shuyan's gaze swept back and forth between Zhou Ruifen and Wang Ziyue's faces a few times, her sarcasm deepening:

A close female friend?

Haha, that's it!
