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

Bai Ziyu's smile was warm:

"I understand 'thank you,' but what about 'sorry'?"

Yu Shuyan made no attempt to hide her true feelings and said directly:

"You have indeed been bewitched today."

Bai Ziyu nodded:

"Since I was afflicted by a Gu poison, such a troublesome one, yet you cured me. I should thank you then."

Why would I need you to apologize?

When Yu Shuyan saw him, she knew she was under a spell, but she showed no surprise whatsoever, still staring intently at "thank you" and "hug."

"Apologies," I couldn't help but think to myself, "He's just a stubborn scholar after all."

“Young Master Bai, although I saved your life before, your poisoning this time is also because of me. Their attempt to deal with me has implicated you and Old Madam Cui. That’s the first point.”

Bai Ziyu, however, said:

"The blame lies with those cunning individuals, not with you. If you think that way, then wouldn't I also have to apologize to you because you saved me, and be held responsible for their grudges and frame me?"

Yu Shuyan was slightly taken aback; the refined and elegant Bai Ziyu actually knew how to speak such rambling language. Her expression, however, remained calm.

"Young Master Bai is so carefree; it is I who am narrow-minded."

When Bai Ziyu met her, he was completely unpretentious, straightforward and easygoing, unlike those affected and pretentious young ladies from noble families.

In those eyes, as dark as the night and as bright as the starry sky, a dazzling light suddenly burst forth.

Noticing the gaze, Yu Shuyan's eyes flickered, but she quickly regained her composure.

“However, I could have stopped Wen Lang from using a curse on you. But I wanted to see what he was up to, so I decided to play along.”

Bai Ziyu's smile grew even warmer:

"If that's the case, then there's even less need for you to apologize to me. It's Wen Lang and the others who should apologize. Since you helped me cure the poison, I should be thanking you!"

After thinking for a moment, a sly glint flashed in his eyes:

"By the way, if I remember correctly, Wen Lang used the poison on me at the banquet when he was toasting me. But you weren't there, Lady Yuan, were you? And how could you have stopped it?"

Yu Shuyan was taken aback, realizing something was wrong. How could she have overlooked this? A slight panic rose within her; now was not the time to reveal her identity.

Bai Ziyu stared intently at Yu Shuyan, noticing a rare hint of annoyance and panic flashing in her usually aloof eyes.

His eyes softened slightly, tinged with a hint of annoyance; he shouldn't have put her in such a difficult position. After a moment's thought, he smiled and said:

"Look at me, I almost forgot. You and Madam Wen have a very close personal relationship. She must have received your guidance to understand."

Wen Lang used witchcraft, yet you didn't stop him, did you? You're apologizing to me on her behalf, aren't you?

"Actually, it doesn't matter. After all, they are husband and wife. It's understandable that Madam Wen would protect Wen Lang."

Yu Shuyan's emotions suddenly turned agitated, and she blurted out:

"Don't call her Madam Wen!"

After finishing his drink, he realized his lapse in composure, took a deep breath, calmed himself, and then said indifferently:

“What I mean is that Wen Lang is not a good match for Yu Shuyan. Wen Lang is a ruthless and vicious man, and insatiably greedy. What Yu Shuyan needs to do now is to divorce him. Therefore, please stop calling her Mrs. Wen.”

Wen Lang hadn't expected her to be so agitated. After all, even if Wen Lang wasn't a good husband, it seemed she shouldn't be like Yuan Niangzi, her voice revealing deep resentment towards him, as if she harbored a deep-seated hatred.

However, he didn't press further, but instead said apologetically and cautiously:

"I'm sorry~"

Yu Shuyan looked at him, showing no anger at her rudeness. On the contrary, he was very considerate of her feelings.

A pang of guilt swept through my heart:

"I'm sorry, I lost my composure. But speaking of which, I must thank you for just handing me the power to decide how to deal with Wen Lang."

"But don't worry, Wen Lang dared to use a spell on you, I'll make him pay the price sooner or later. However, I have some plans for not exposing him today."

Bai Ziyu smiled, his smile becoming even warmer:

"It's fine, do whatever you want."

Yu Shuyan paused again, then frowned and said:

"Young Master Bai, although I saved your life before, I did receive payment for my services. And today, you were harmed because of me. Therefore, you owe me nothing, so there's really no need for you to treat me like this!"

A hint of disappointment flashed deep in Bai Ziyu's eyes, but he didn't show it at all, and still smiled as he said:

"So today, you've prevented me from being with Situ Yue—how should we settle this debt?"

Yu Shuyan's eyes flickered slightly:

"You knew it was me?"

Bai Ziyu smiled and said:

"Actually, at that time, I already realized that I had been poisoned. Besides you, I really can't think of anyone else who has the ability to cleanse the potent drug in my body so thoroughly."

Yu Shuyan shook her head indifferently:

"It was just something I did, no need to worry about it."

Bai Ziyu shook his head:

"No, compared to Situ Yue and me being in trouble, I would rather die from the Gu poison. So tell me, should I care or should I be grateful to you?"

Yu Shuyan clearly didn't want to talk about gratitude anymore, and after a moment's thought, she said:

"In that case, how about this: you leave the decision of how to deal with Wen Lang entirely to me, okay? Even if I don't make trouble for him after three days, please help me mediate with Lord Cui, is that alright?"

Bai Ziyu's brows furrowed slightly, and there seemed to be a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Yu Shuyan hurriedly explained, saying:

"Don't worry, even if I can't avenge you this time, sooner or later I will make him pay the full price for everything he's done!"

Bai Ziyu sighed softly:

"I think I just told you that you can do whatever you want. You really don't need to talk to me about Wen Lang anymore."

Yu Shuyan felt a slight sense of relief, but said:

"I just apologized to you because I didn't expose him on the spot, but now, I might not expose this for three days, or even a long time, so~~~"

At this point, she noticed that Bai Ziyu was looking at her quietly with an expression that said, "What do you think?"

He couldn't help but pause his explanation, a self-deprecating smile appearing in his eyes:

Anyway, thanks.

Bai Ziyu, however, seemed to remember something. He glanced back at the tightly closed gates of the Prime Minister's residence, hesitated for a moment, and then said:

"It seems Mrs. Wen is in trouble. Do you need me..."
