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

Yu Shuyan's brows were furrowed so deeply they almost formed several vertical lines:

There has been no movement from Wenlang's side for the time being.

Based on her understanding of Wen Lang, if it were Ouyang Feng's side, there would be absolutely no chance.

Given his opportunistic and risk-averse nature, he would definitely come to her door and personally take her home, now that she has Yuan Niangzi behind her.

Then, he plays the role of a considerate and loving husband, moves her, and controls her to achieve his goal of controlling Yuan Niangzi.

If that's the case, she's not worried.

But, he didn't.

That only means that Ouyang Feng still has a chance to turn the tables. In other words, they definitely have the means and leverage to deal with Yuan Niangzi.

A very bad feeling rose in Yu Shuyan's heart.

We also need to quickly find out the situation regarding the so-called plague in Yanggang Village, where my maternal grandfather's family lived.

Meanwhile, Changning hasn't even made contact yet. The more news she sends, the more pressure she feels, along with the anxiety of not knowing where to start.

Seeing her furrowed brows, Cui Yingying figured she must be frightened by Changning. She took a deep breath and forced a smile.

"Alright, don't be afraid. There's a very high chance we won't run into Changning. Even if we do, we'll just go around them."

Although, I pretended to be relaxed.

Yu Shuyan could still sense the deep resentment in her words.

It's likely that she and Wanying had a very good relationship.

It's not that I don't hate, it's just that I don't dare to.

She was indeed a kind and loyal girl. At this moment, Yu Shuyan's impression of her improved considerably.

Suddenly, her heavy heart felt much lighter:

Actually, if you look at it from another angle...

The more recklessly Changning acts, the more people will hate her.

So, she just needs to lie low, gather evidence little by little, find these people, and unite them around her. Little by little, she can build up her own strength.

Sooner or later, even the emperor will not be able to, or even dare to, protect her.

Without realizing it, a cold laugh escaped her lips:

"Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. The people are the water, and the ruler is the boat. When the atrocities committed by Changning are gradually revealed to the people, and when she arouses the raging waves of public anger, will the emperor, this small boat tossed about in the waves, protect her or himself?"

Cui Yingying's eyes lit up, and the last trace of disdain in her eyes when she looked at Yu Shuyan disappeared.

Regardless of what kind of person Yu Shuyan was, she admired her greatly for saying those words. She decided to befriend her.

It wasn't because of Yuan Niangzi, but simply because she was Yu Shuyan.

She took a deep breath:

"Hopefully, we can see the day you mentioned."

"However, I still have to remind you. Don't say things like that again."

"The Shadow Guards were left behind by the late emperor and trained with the help of the Marquis of Zhenbei. They are a guard that directly obeys the emperor's orders. As the name suggests, they are as elusive as shadows, always following you, and infiltrating everywhere."

"Although the Shadow Guards wouldn't even bother to look at us insignificant people, it's always better to be careful."

At this point, as if remembering something, she sighed:

"Alas, if it had been His Highness the Third Prince who ascended the throne back then, the Great Yong Dynasty would never be in this state now. On the surface, everything is peaceful and prosperous, but inside it is rotten and filthy."

A sudden thought stirred within Yu Shuyan's heart, and a fleeting idea flashed through his mind.

However, it flashed by so quickly that she didn't manage to catch it, but blurted out:

"Your Highness, what's the situation now? I heard from my brother that he's become unpredictable, cold, and withdrawn."

Cui Yingying sighed:

"Actually, His Highness the Third Prince was truly a man of exceptional beauty. Back then, he was the dream lover of almost every young lady in the entire Great Yong. Of course, except for me. I've always remained true to my original intention: to marry my Brother Ziyu. However, my Brother Ziyu was no less impressive than His Highness the Third Prince back then. They were the two outstanding talents of our Great Yong, one skilled in martial arts and the other in literature!"

As she spoke, realizing she had gone off-topic, she pouted and continued:

"But after experiencing something like that, anyone's character would change. Moreover, I heard that he is ill, so ill that he is about to die, and even Doctor Ding is helpless."

"However, it's good that he's become like this. If he were still as good as before, he probably wouldn't have survived until now under the emperor."

Yu Shuyan remembered what Yu Moyan had told her about the things that Gong Mojue had gone through.

I agree with Cui Yingying's words.

Wait, that fleeting thought that she hadn't grasped just moments before suddenly became clear:

No one is more suitable to deal with the emperor than Gong Mojue.

First and foremost, he absolutely hated Gong Nanxian and his group. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. If they were to cooperate, they were absolutely trustworthy, and I had no fear of betrayal.

Secondly, no one is more legitimate than Gong Mojue in dealing with Gong Nanxian.

Most importantly, from what Yu Moyan and Cui Yingying told her, Gong Mojue was definitely not the kind of person who would betray someone after using them. Therefore, she wasn't worried about being discarded by him later.

Yes, at this moment, the direction she had been lost in suddenly became certain.

She needs to find an opportunity to see Gong Mojue and check on his injuries to see if she can heal them.

However, Gong Nanxian definitely sent people to keep a close eye on Gong Mojue.

She couldn't act rashly. After all, if she were to be targeted by Changning and the Emperor now, her fate would be even worse than in her previous life.

"Miss, Xiaozhu has a question I've been wanting to ask you!"

Suddenly, a question came from outside the curtain, which Xiaozhu couldn't contain her excitement and asked loudly.

Xiao Zhu's question interrupted Yu Shuyan's thoughts and also broke the continuation of their conversation.

Yu Shuyan suppressed the complex emotions in her heart, raised her voice, and smiled faintly:

"Okay, go ahead."

Little Bamboo asked:

"What I want to ask is, you must have known all along that Dong Sanlang was infertile, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have asked me to invite Physician Ding over to testify, would you? But how did you know?"

Wu Manting and Cui Yingying also looked at Yu Shuyan with curiosity.

Yu Shuyan smiled faintly:

“What’s so difficult about that? Don’t forget, I have a miracle doctor behind me. Yuan Niang could tell from afar that he was ill and unable to have children.”

They all suddenly realized:

If it was Lady Yuan who noticed it, then it wouldn't be surprising.

~~~

Meanwhile, the black-clad man previously referred to as "Leaving Blank" landed in the courtyard.

At that moment, another man who looked like a guard rushed in.

The man was tall and slender with a strong physique and handsome features. However, at this moment, there was a hint of barely suppressed excitement on his face.

He walked quickly to the closed door and bowed respectfully.

"My lord, I have something to report!"
