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

When Aunt Li finished checking on Gan Cai'er and the others and went outside, she saw two big men peering out the window.

Lanting and Wei Shi'an were staring at each other, wide-eyed.

"Who are you?" Lan Tingzhi looked at the other party warily, secretly holding a dart in his hand.

“Miss Zhu’s friend,” Wei Shi’an answered softly, then asked, “And who are you?”

Lan Tingzhi gestured with his chin as he moved closer to the inside of the room.

“That’s my sister-in-law.”

"Oh, you're Brother Lan's younger brother."

Wei Shi'an threw away the stone in his hand, and Lan Tingzhi also let go of the dart.

After seeing Aunt Li leave, Lan Ting tried to climb through the window to enter the house and take Gan Cai'er away.

Unexpectedly, Wei Shi'an grabbed him and held him down.

"It's not the right time yet, let's wait a little longer."

"My sister-in-law has been drugged, what are we waiting for?" Lan Tingzhi was getting a little angry.

"Of course we're waiting for someone. Can't you see, not everyone has arrived yet?"

"I don't care who's here or not, I just want to get my sister-in-law out of here!"

Wei Shi'an paused for a moment, then suddenly asked, "What did Brother Lan instruct you to do?"

"My brother told me to find the person as soon as possible."

As soon as Lan Tingzhi finished speaking, he paused in surprise. Lan Tingzhou hadn't actually told him to take the people away. Besides, it seemed quite difficult for him to take away several unconscious women by himself.

As the two were talking, Niu Si pushed open the door of the bamboo hut and entered the room, reeking of alcohol.

Lan Tingzhi could no longer contain himself and made a move to get up and climb out the window, but Wei Shi'an kicked him in the back of the knee, causing him to stumble and fall to the ground. Lan Tingzhi glared angrily at him.

Wei Shi'an raised a finger and pressed it to his lips to signal Lan Tingzhi to be quiet, then peered cautiously through the window crack into the room.

Seeing Wei Shi'an's serious expression, Lanting also peeked through the window crack to see what was going on.

The bamboo house is simply furnished, with only a daybed, a round table, a few stools, and a row of antique shelves.

Gan Cai'er and Lu Ye were lying slumped on the couch, unconscious.

The man who had just entered was about forty years old, dressed in coarse linen clothes, and appeared to be a bricklayer.

He reeked of alcohol, but his eyes were not glazed over. His lecherous gaze was fixed on Gan Cai'er, but he didn't approach her. He just sat at the table, rubbing his hands together and swallowing hard.

"Wait a little longer," Wei Shi'an mouthed to Lan Tingzhi.

Lan Tingzhi thought for a moment, calmed down, and continued to squat under the window and keep watch.

About the time it takes for another incense stick to burn, a series of noisy footsteps came from outside the bamboo hut, and with a creak, the door was pushed open again.

This time, two young women walked in, along with several old women who had been guarding the door.

Lantingzhi didn't recognize the two women, but Wei Shi'an did. They were Wu Xin and her maid, Qinyin.

Upon seeing Wu Xin enter, Niu Si immediately stood up, bowed, and said with a fawning expression, "This humble servant greets Miss Wu and wishes you good health."

Wu Xin looked down at him condescendingly: "Niu Si, you didn't make a move on anyone, did you?"

"Not moved, not moved, not even a finger. Miss Ba gave the order, how dare I disobey?" Niu Si nodded and bowed repeatedly.

"Zhao Niangzi, take off his belt and tie him up."

"Hey, little one, do it yourself, do it yourself."

So, Niu Si deftly untied his belt and handed it to Zhao Niangzi. Then, several old women held him down and tied his hands and feet.

"Slap, slap, slap~~~"

Suddenly, Wu Xin raised her hand and slapped Qin Yin several times across the face.

Qin Yin's face instantly turned red and swollen. She touched her cheek, her eyes filled with tears, but she dared not utter a sound.

Wu Xin then took the hairpin from Qin Yin's head and slashed it twice on her face, causing two thin beads of blood to seep out.

Wu Xin's actions left Lan Tingzhi, who was watching from outside the window, completely dumbfounded. What kind of operation was this?!

"Now, go and call your mother over."

"Miss, I heard that Madam was feeling unwell and went back to her room to rest," a servant reported.

Wu Xin was taken aback and frowned.

"Mother was perfectly fine today, so why did she suddenly go back to her room? Since Mother isn't here, let's go and invite the old lady."

"Yes." Qin Yin ran away with tears in her eyes.

"You few, continue to guard outside and do not allow any unauthorized personnel to approach until the old lady arrives."

"Yes."

Several old women obeyed the order and went out, closing the door behind them.

Wu Xin walked to Gan Cai'er's side, looked down at her for a long time, then placed her hand on Gan Cai'er's collar, as if she wanted to tear her clothes. But in the end, she just pulled Gan Cai'er's collar up and uttered a soft sentence.

"I'll let you off this time; we'll meet again someday."

After saying that, she pulled out the hairpin from her hair and slashed it hard against her chin. Blood dripped down almost instantly, showing that she had put a lot of effort into the slash.

Lanting was completely stunned!

He looked at Wei Shi'an with a shocked expression, and the latter was equally astonished! Neither of them had any idea what this Miss Wu was up to!

However, even if they didn't understand what Wu Xin was trying to do, they knew that her scheme had basically succeeded.

Wei Shi'an picked up two pebbles and hurled them at the two people inside the house. Wu Xin and Niu Si fell to the ground silently.

Lan Tingzhi looked at Wei Shi'an with deep admiration.

Wei Shi'an ignored Lan Tingzhi and nimbly climbed over into a small hut next door, where Zhu Xiaoxiao was lying.

Lan Tingzhi didn't dare to delay, so he immediately climbed through the window and carried Gan Cai'er and Lvye out.

But the next moment, he was in a dilemma.

How can I get the two women out of the Wu residence? I wonder what kind of drug Wu Xin gave them. If only I could find the antidote.

"What are you doing squatting here?" A clear female voice rang in Lanting's ears.

Lan Tingzhi turned his head and saw Zhu Xiaoxiao looking at him with a curious expression, while Wei Shi'an was standing next to her.
