After being reborn, her aloof ex-husband and her crazy deceased husband got into a fight.

Huan'er easily found Madam Wu; where everyone was gathered around, Madam Wu must be. However, while finding her was easy, Lan Tingzhou wanted her to keep Madam Wu there and not let her leave easily, which truly put Huan'er in a difficult position.

What could a little-known maidservant like her offer to keep a noblewoman from a prominent family?

Huan'er was so anxious she was pacing around in circles.

"Where's your lady?"

Just then, a male voice suddenly came from behind her, startling Huan'er so much that she almost fell to the ground. She turned around in shock and saw that it was the bookworm she had met on Nanshan Mountain, standing behind her.

"You, you, what are you doing here?"

“I heard what you and Young Master Lan were saying just now, so I came to check it out,” Wei Shi’an said.

Huan'er's gaze towards Wei Shi'an changed, from surprise to wariness.

"I...I didn't mean to eavesdrop. It's just that you were speaking too loudly," Wei Shi'an said, his face turning red.

"Your voice is loud?" Huan'er stared at Wei Shi'an in disbelief. She had clearly lowered her voice so much that no one a step away could hear her!

"Where is your young lady?" Wei Shi'an asked again.

Huan'er found this bookworm utterly inexplicable, but seeing his serious expression, she instinctively answered...

"She went to see Madam Lan."

"It's just nonsense!"

"Why don't you go find her?" Wei Shi'an asked sternly.

"Young Master Lan instructed me to keep an eye on Madam Wu and find a way to prevent her from leaving."

"It's not simple yet."

Simple? Huan'er looked at Wei Shi'an with a puzzled expression.

Then, Wei Shi'an picked up a small pebble from the ground, flicked it with his fingertip... and suddenly a chorus of exclamations rang out from afar.

"Madam, Madam, what's wrong?"

"Help! The lady has fainted!!"

Huan'er looked up and saw a scene of chaos ahead. The servants and maids were in a panic, some running and some shouting. It seemed that Madam Wu had suddenly fainted.

Huan'er stared wide-eyed at Wei Shi'an, mouth agape. Had this man knocked Madam Wu unconscious from this distance with just a small stone?

"Come on, now we can go find your young lady."

"what?!"

Huan'er stared blankly at Wei Shi'an, completely stunned by what was happening before her eyes.

Before she could even react, she felt the wind whistling past her ears, and the surrounding scenery rushed past her. She was being carried away by her belt!

"You show the way."

Huan'er had just opened her mouth to say something when a blast of icy wind hit her head. She had no choice but to shut her mouth again and simply point the way with her arm.

In the blink of an eye, she was standing again at the foot of the wall of Ziwu Courtyard, where she had broken up with Zhu Xiaoxiao before.

"How long have you been separated?" Wei Shi'an asked.

"About the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn," Huan'er replied.

"Hide here and don't let anyone find you," Wei Shi'an said as he walked out.

"Hey, bookworm, where are you going? I'll come with you." Huan'er grabbed his arm.

"No, you'll get in the way."

Before Huan'er could say anything more, Wei Shi'an broke free from her grasp and walked away quickly.

He walked to the outside of Ziwu Courtyard, squatted down, picked up a clod of soil, and examined it carefully. Then, Huan'er felt a blur before her eyes, and Wei Shi'an disappeared.

Huan'er's mouth gaped open, as wide as two eggs. It turned out that besides being a talented painter, the bookworm was also a martial arts master!

Following the trail, Wei Shi'an quickly arrived at the Green Bamboo Pavilion. He glanced at the four old women guarding outside the bamboo hut, then leaped into the air and flew behind the bamboo grove.

"Hey, Sister-in-law Zhao, why do I suddenly feel a chill in the wind?"

"There are bamboo trees everywhere in this forest, so it's not like the wind is blowing all the time. Don't be so easily startled."

"Hey, why hasn't this person arrived yet? They were supposed to come within two incense sticks' time. If they don't come soon, I'm afraid the people inside will wake up soon."

“No plan is ever perfectly executed; it’s normal for it to be a little early or a little late. But your reminder does make sense. Aunt Li, go inside and check on things. If the medicine is almost worn off, give it some more.”

“Okay.” An old woman in her forties got up and went into the house.

"Hey, who do you think these people in the room are that could make Miss Ba go to such lengths?"

"I don't know. But they've definitely offended Miss Eight's people. Aunt Li, what's the situation inside?"

The old woman who had just gone inside came out.

"They're all still asleep, they haven't woken up yet."

Just then, a middle-aged man who looked like a bricklayer walked in.

"Niu Si, why are you only arriving now?"

"Alright, alright, go inside now. We'll inform Miss Eight right away."

"By the way, you need to go into the room with the master and servant, not the one with only one person. Don't go into the wrong one."

"understood."

Niu Si poured a jar of wine all over himself, then grinned, revealing his yellow teeth, and swayed as he walked into the bamboo hut.
