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

The bustling streets of Lingjin City were teeming with people and teeming with activity.

A horse-drawn carriage moved slowly through the crowd.

Looking out the car window at the bustling street, Yu Shuyan frowned slightly.

In her past life, she devoted all her energy to pleasing Wen Lang's family. After marrying Wen Lang, she never had the chance to leisurely stroll down the street again.

The most pitiful one is the little dumpling.

From birth until his murder, he lived a life of constant fear and trembling, following his useless mother, trying to make a living in the Wen family.

Let alone going shopping, I rarely even leave the house.

He never owned any of the things that children like: candied hawthorns, sugar figurines, sweet soup...

In her past life, she was blinded by greed and didn't think things through carefully.

In this life, she suddenly felt something was strange.

It is said that even tigers don't eat their cubs. Even though Wen's mother and Wen Qing were ruthless, because they disliked her, they also disliked the little dumpling she gave birth to.

But how could Wen Lang be so ruthless?

Looking back now, she began to realize something was wrong. Wen Lang was her only son, and even if he ultimately abandoned her for power, that was one thing.

But how could he so coldly watch his own flesh and blood be poisoned to death in front of him?

Are there really such ruthless people in this world?

"Shuyan, Shuyan~?"

Sitting opposite her, Yu Moyan looked at Yu Shuyan, a deep sadness suddenly welling up around him. A pang of heartache flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but call out to her.

Yu Shuyan snapped out of her reverie and looked at Yu Moyan, only to see the heartache in his eyes. A warmth spread through her heart, and she quickly smiled and said:

"Brother, don't worry, I'm fine."

Yu Moyan sighed softly:

"Shuyan, I was wrong before. I gave up on myself because I was injured. I never cared about you and made you suffer all these years."

Seeing his self-reproach, Yu Shuyan quickly said:

"Brother, don't think like that. If you say that, then I should apologize to you. After all, I was blind to have fallen for such an ingrate, which is why he ruined you."

Yu Moyan smiled helplessly and shook his head:

"Alright, what's past is past. But I will definitely avenge the suffering you've endured. Don't worry, once my leg heals and I regain my student status, I will pass the imperial examinations as quickly as possible. I will make sure you and your parents never suffer any more injustice."

Yu Shuyan nodded with a smile:

"Yes, my brother is so capable. He can definitely top the imperial examination and become a high-ranking official. If he can become an official, he can definitely contribute to the peace, prosperity and stability we have now."

Yu Moyan smiled indulgently, but a hint of worry flashed in his eyes, and he sighed softly:

"If the Marquis of Zhenbei were still alive, why would we worry about this peaceful and prosperous state of affairs being shaken? But now, the court... alas..."

In her previous life, Yu Shuyan had never paid attention to the imperial court.

However, in this life, she is destined to clash with Changning. Understanding the political situation at court is therefore essential.

So, she couldn't help but ask:

“Brother, although I am a woman confined to my home, I know that the pillar of the Zhenbei Marquisate has always guarded the northern border, recovered lost territories, and resisted foreign enemies. He has brought the entire Dayong Kingdom from a precarious situation to the peaceful and prosperous state it is today. He deserves the title of ‘pillar of the nation’. But how could such a person betray the country?”

Yu Moyan was startled and couldn't help but look out the car window before whispering:

"Speak wisely and cautiously."

Yu Shuyan nodded, but said:

"So, he was framed?"

Yu Moyan sighed:

"Back then, the northern border had just been stabilized, and the Marquis of Zhenbei returned to the capital in triumph. However, the late emperor suddenly passed away, and then the new emperor ascended the throne. Soon after, news spread that the Marquis of Zhenbei had betrayed the country, and his entire family was massacred. This included the Lin family army generals who had just returned in triumph with the Marquis of Zhenbei."

"Back then, the heads that rolled off Caishikou piled up like mountains, and blood flowed like rivers. The stench of blood still lingers to this day."

"The Marquis of Zhenbei was subjected to the most brutal form of execution, being slowly sliced ​​over a thousand times in the street. Even after the flesh on his abdomen was completely shaved off, his heart was still beating. Yet, despite such a gruesome ordeal, the Marquis of Zhenbei did not utter a single sound."

At this point, Yu Moyan's voice began to tremble due to her emotional state:

"Such a fiercely loyal and upright person, just like that...sigh..."

Yu Shuyan frowned:

"I remember, the Marquis of Zhenbei's sister married the late emperor and was made an Imperial Noble Consort, right? And she even gave birth to the third prince. So, what about them...?"

The sadness in Yu Moyan's eyes deepened:

"The most tragic one was actually the third prince, Gong Mojue. The new emperor not only had him imprisoned at the execution ground, but also watched as the Marquis of Zhenbei was subjected to the death by a thousand cuts."

"I heard that he was in great pain and was taken back to the palace. Then, he was taken by the new Empress Dowager and forced to watch his mother being turned into a human pig while still alive, and finally stuffed into a latrine to suffocate to death!"

Even just listening, Yu Shuyan's hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

A feeling of tightness lingered in my chest, and I couldn't help but ask:

"What about the Third Prince?"

Yu Moyan sighed and shook his head:

"Actually, there was a rumor that the late emperor's preferred successor was the third prince, Gong Mojue. After all, the current emperor, formerly the eldest prince Gong Nanxian, was always uneducated, tyrannical, and capricious. The third prince, Gong Mojue, was different; he was skilled in both literature and martial arts, and his character was upright and noble."

"However, after this incident, although the new emperor did not kill him and even granted him the title of Prince Yongning, he was rendered useless. His personality became unpredictable, cold, and repressed, and he also developed a leg ailment, becoming a cripple. The imperial physician even said that he was terminally ill and would not live much longer."

In the end, his voice was filled with deep regret.

Although Yu Shuyan also felt regret, she had come with hatred in her heart, and her focus led her to ask:

"Is Princess Changning and the current Emperor born of the same mother?"

Yu Moyan was taken aback, clearly not expecting her to suddenly mention Princess Changning.

However, although he found it strange, he didn't ask any further questions, but simply nodded and said:

"Yes, the current Empress Dowager has given birth to a son and a daughter, namely the current Emperor and Princess Changning."

Yu Shuyan's heart sank slightly:

"Then their relationship must be very good."

A strange light flashed in Yu Moyan's eyes. After a moment's consideration, he said:

"It's very good, very good—it's a bit too good!"

Yu Shuyan was puzzled:

"Brother, what does this mean?"

Yu Moyan, however, clearly did not want to say anything more:

"Alright, these are just rumors, nothing to talk about. This isn't something we should concern ourselves with. This is a conversation between siblings; in the future, you can't casually ask these kinds of questions when we're out. Understand?"

Although Yu Shuyan felt regretful, she also knew that she had asked too many questions.

Then, considering that Chang Ning and the current emperor are siblings from the same mother, and that he wanted to deal with her and protect his family, he felt even more pressured.

He nodded unconsciously.

"I know, brother."

Suddenly, a burst of noise and commotion came from outside the car window.

Yu Moyan and Yu Shuyan exchanged a glance, then unconsciously pulled back the curtains and looked out.

Several doctors, supported by constables, hurriedly shouted to clear the crowd and ran away.

A couple of women by the roadside clicked their tongues and shook their heads.

"Oh, you know, our Prefect is such a filial son. By all accounts, the old lady should be enjoying her retirement. But she's critically ill every few days, it's really pitiful."

"Who says otherwise? Sigh, I heard that the Prefect said that whoever can cure the old lady, he'll give his life, not just money!"

"Sigh, who has the ability to pull someone out of the clutches of the King of Hell?"

······

As Yu Shuyan listened to their conversation, a glint of light flashed in her eyes, and she seemed to be deep in thought.
