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

Wen Lang felt a sense of relief. He had been worried that Bai Ziyu would refuse the toast he offered. He had even prepared some reasons in advance to persuade Bai Ziyu if he refused.

I didn't expect him to agree so readily.

However, when he looked at Bai Ziyu with delight, he happened to meet Bai Ziyu's unfathomable eyes.

He was startled and couldn't help but wonder if Bai Ziyu knew something.

Bai Ziyu looked at him, his eyes slightly flustered, then his gaze deepened. He picked up his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Wen Lang unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, a gleam of pleasure in his eyes. He downed his wine in one gulp, then nodded slightly to Bai Ziyu before turning back to his seat.

After Wen Lang left.

Jin Wanliang leaned towards Bai Ziyu and whispered:

"You actually drank that glass of wine like that?"

Bai Ziyu raised an eyebrow:

"if not?"

Jin Wanliang rolled his eyes:

"Aren't you afraid he'll poison you?"

Bai Ziyu's lips suddenly curved into a smile as he looked at Yu Shuyan in the distance and whispered:

"I'm really afraid he won't poison me!"

Jin Wanliang frowned, as if he had heard clearly, yet also as if he hadn't:

"What did you say?"

Bai Ziyu withdrew his gaze from Yu Shuyan and then looked calmly at Jin Wanliang:

Did I say anything?

Jin Wanliang nodded:

"Yes, you said it, I heard it."

Bai Ziyu turned his head, too lazy to look at him:

"Since you heard it, why are you asking me?"

Jin Wanliang was completely dumbfounded:

"I...I'm not...I...just..."

"Fine, fine, I'll just masochize myself. I'll drink, I'll drink, okay?"

He sat back down at his seat, picked up the wine in front of him, and downed it in one gulp, as if he were swallowing Bai Ziyu whole.

Bai Ziyu looked in Yu Shuyan's direction again.

Yu Shuyan looked at Bai Ziyu from afar and drank the glass of wine.

A slight chill ran through my heart:

Wen Lang is indeed ruthless.

However, since Wen Lang came with Gu poison, it was clear that he had been planning this for a long time. And the only person she could think of who could have given him Gu poison was Ouyang Feng.

So, if he wanted to clear Ouyang Feng's name...

Simply placing a Gu poison on Bai Ziyu is clearly beyond his capabilities. This means he must have a backup plan. What could it be?

For a moment, Yu Shuyan was at a loss.

"Ziyu, let's go~"

Situ Yue glanced at Wen Lang with displeasure in her eyes.

She had just invited Bai Ziyu, and this poor wretch dared to interrupt. If it weren't for the fact that he was brought by the Yongle Prince, and she had solemnly introduced him to everyone, intentionally or unintentionally telling everyone that he was Princess Changning's person.

She really wanted to kill him.

Bai Ziyu lowered his eyes, paused slightly, then raised them again, slowly rising to his feet. Even the simple act of adjusting his robes was incredibly elegant and captivating.

This caused the group of young ladies opposite to take the opportunity, while bowing their heads, to keep their eyes glued to him.

Bai Ziyu was already used to these gazes and simply ignored them.

"Then, I'll have to trouble you, Miss Situ."

Situ Yue's indifferent gaze swept over the faces of the young ladies one by one. Finally, a gentle smile appeared on her face.

It landed on Bai Ziyu's face:

"Ziyu, let's go."

There was no awkwardness in his words, as if he were inviting guests; they sounded so natural and intimate.

Bai Ziyu's expression remained calm. However, his gentle voice carried a deep sense of detachment:

"Miss Situ, thank you for your trouble."

Everyone noticed his deliberate distancing and unconsciously looked at Situ Yue.

Situ Yue's expression remained unchanged, maintaining her gentle smile.

"Ziyu, there's no need to be so polite with me."

Without waiting for Bai Ziyu's reply, he turned and left the waterside pavilion.

"Ziyu, let's go."

Bai Ziyu nodded, turned around, bent down, and whispered a few words in Jin Wanliang's ear.

A look of surprise flashed across Jin Wanliang's eyes as he abruptly turned to Bai Ziyu.

Bai Ziyu, however, gave him a reassuring look:

"Remember my words."

Then, he walked to Situ Yue's side:

"Miss Situ, please."

This time, Situ Yue didn't linger and turned to lead the way.

The two quickly disappeared around the corner.

Yu Shuyan's already furrowed brows deepened even further:

She had originally thought that with Bai Ziyu here, she could use acupuncture remotely to suppress his Gu poison if anything happened.

But now, Bai Ziyu has left with Situ Yue.

If the poison takes effect, she is truly worried that it will be too late to save him.

I need to find an excuse to follow them.

"Mrs. Wen~"

A woman's voice interrupted her thoughts.

She looked up and saw Zhou Ruifen and Wang Ziyue standing beside her, holding wine glasses and smiling sincerely.

"Is something wrong?"

Yu Shuyan, as a conditioned reflex, asked the question with some hesitation.

Even in his eyes, there was a hint of wariness.

After all, given their relationship, she didn't think they should stand in front of her with that expression and that attitude.

The commotion they were making attracted the attention of some of the young ladies nearby.

Zhou Ruifen was so angry at Yu Shuyan's attitude that the forced smile on her face was almost impossible to maintain.

"Yu Shuyan, you~"

Wang Ziyue, however, grabbed her sleeve, interrupting her.

Zhou Ruifen impatiently and secretly used force to shake off her hand with disgust. However, she managed to suppress her anger and didn't utter another curse.

Wang Ziyue ignored her, instead walking in front of her, looking at Yu Shuyan, and smiling:

“Madam Wen, I know there’s been a misunderstanding between us, but we’ve come here to sincerely apologize. How about this, Madam Wen, since this is your first time visiting the Prime Minister’s residence, you probably haven’t seen the peach blossom grove in the backyard. Why don’t we show you around? Consider it our way of making amends!”

Yu Shuyan raised an eyebrow:

Is this a case of someone offering a pillow when you're sleepy?

Seeing her raise an eyebrow, Zhou Ruifen finally couldn't help but let out a soft snort:

"What, you think it's beneath us to accompany a peasant woman like you? Just tell me, are you going or not?"

Almost the instant she finished speaking, Yu Shuyan stood up:

"Go, go now!"

"what?"

Neither Zhou Ruifen nor Wang Ziyue understood her reaction.

However, Yu Shuyan didn't wait for their reaction, and took a few steps forward first, urging them:

"Gentlemen, let's go!"

Zhou Ruifen and Wang Ziyue looked at each other for a long while:

What's going on with this woman?
