May this scumbag husband, who favored his concubine over his wife, rest in peace.

The old lady felt even more suffocated and short of breath. She waved her hand impatiently and said, "Alright, go down now!"

The old lady's tone was unfriendly. Chunhua and Wangyou bowed and retreated somewhat flusteredly.

Back in the main courtyard, the two women no longer showed any sign of panic. Chunhua told Wen Yuanshu what had happened in the main courtyard, and finally said, "Madam, why did we have to put on such a show?"

"The old lady certainly won't take the money herself. In the end, she might even make you, Madam, make the trip. Aren't we just making trouble for ourselves?"

"We really had to find this trouble," Wen Yuanshu said.

Bai Tong could now freely enter and leave Pei Zeyu's study, and had already thoroughly searched it, but hadn't found anything suspicious.

So Wen Yuanshu thought that perhaps she was too anxious.

At this point, Pei Zeyu might not have even started to join forces with the outsiders.

But that doesn't necessarily mean there's no connection.

Regardless, she was prepared to give it a push and see.

Chunhua looked puzzled, but didn't ask any more questions.

Recalling Bai Tong's unbearable pain this morning, Wen Yuanshu sighed and said, "Go and warm up a pot of wine."

"Why are you drinking?" Chunhua was taken aback.

As soon as the words left her mouth, Chunhua knew the answer in her heart: "This servant will go right away."

After saying that, Chunhua turned around and came back with the wine in a short while.

After a few cups of wine, Wen Yuanshu was about to drink again when a large, well-defined hand reached out from the side and pressed down on the wine pot: "Why are you drinking in broad daylight?"

The voice was deep and cold, and sounded very familiar.

Wen Yuanshu clicked her tongue: "You really are elusive."

No one spoke, but a rustling sound came from the side. Wen Yuanshu turned her head and saw that Lu Chengyuan had taken off his outer clothes and was now taking off his inner clothes.

In an instant, Wen Yuanshu sobered up: "What's wrong with you in broad daylight?"

Lu Chengyuan flicked his fingers and pulled open his inner garment, revealing a wound on his chest that was still bleeding: "I was a little injured. Since you're nearby, I came straight over."

Looking at the gruesome wound, Wen Yuanshu couldn't help but gasp: "Should we call Miss Wangyou over?"

“No need, I’m not used to being touched by others,” Lu Chengyuan said. “Get me a first-aid kit.”

Wen Yuanshu quickly got up and brought him the medicine box.

Lu Chengyuan's injuries were quite severe. If they had fallen on Wen Yuanshu, she felt she would have fainted from the pain. However, Lu Chengyuan seemed to be used to it, and his movements were not affected in the slightest.

While bandaging his wound, he didn't forget Wen Yuanshu: "I'm asking you, why are you drinking in broad daylight?"

Seeing that he moved freely, Wen Yuanshu sighed and leaned back: "The concubine in the back courtyard was ambushed and suffered terribly... She came to help me, and now look what happened to her..."

Lu Chengyuan continued working: "I thought it was something else. That aunt is a grown woman, and she came from the deep courtyard of the Marquis's mansion. She must have known from the beginning that relying on you alone would not be enough. Now that she has been ambushed, it can't all be blamed on you. I suppose you have already sent Wangyou over. Wangyou is the best doctor of this generation in Medicine King Valley, so don't think too much about it."

Seeing that Wen Yuanshu was still looking down and not speaking, Lu Chengyuan said, "At least come over and help me wrap a bandage, I really can't reach it."

Seeing him holding the bandage and looking so honest, Wen Yuanshu had no choice but to get up and walk over to him.

Lu Chengyuan had already covered the hideous wound with a clean white cloth, and Wen Yuanshu only needed to secure the cloth with bandages.

Wen Yuanshu sat down beside him, took the bandage, and began to bandage him without any distraction.

Lu Chengyuan lowered his eyelashes and looked at Wen Yuanshu, who was so close to him, and was momentarily dazed.

Because of the bandages, the two were very close. When Wen Yuanshu's fingertips accidentally brushed against his body, it sent a shiver down his spine.
