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

"How...how did you wake up?" Lan Tingzhi exclaimed softly.

"I woke up the moment I opened my eyes," Zhu Xiaoxiao said.

Lan Tingzhi bowed to Wei Shi'an and said, "If you have the antidote, please grant me the medicine."

"Bookworm, so you were the one who saved me just now? Then hurry up and save A-Cai and Green Leaf too." Zhu Xiaoxiao chimed in from the side.

"No, there is no antidote." Wei Shi'an stammered involuntarily when he faced Zhu Xiaoxiao, and his face began to turn red.

He quickly took two steps back, slightly turned his head, and avoided looking at Zhu Xiaoxiao.

"This is just a common sleeping drug that numbs the mind, causing the person to fall into a coma. By using acupressure techniques that focus the mind and energy, the acupoints can be forcibly opened, and the person will wake up."

"Then hurry up and use that acupressure technique!" Zhu Xiaoxiao took two steps forward, stood in front of him, and urged him.

Wei Shi'an quickly took two steps back and shook his head vigorously: "No, no way."

"Why not?" Zhu Xiaoxiao asked.

"Men and women are different, and should not touch each other."

"What kind of time is this to be so particular about these stupid rules!" Zhu Xiaoxiao was furious and couldn't help but scold.

"Xiao Xiao, could you please keep your voice down?"

Zhu Xiaoxiao suddenly heard Gan Cai'er's voice. She turned around and saw that Gan Cai'er was rubbing her forehead and slowly getting up from the ground.

It turned out that after receiving guidance from Wei Shi'an, Lan Tingzhi had already used his internal energy to press several acupoints on Gan Cai'er and Lü Ye. A moment later, the two indeed opened their eyes.

Seeing that Gan Cai'er had woken up, Lan Tingzhi briefly recounted the events to her. Gan Cai'er looked at Wu Xin and Niu Si inside the bamboo hut and couldn't help but exchange bewildered glances with Zhu Xiaoxiao.

The two of them were also completely bewildered, having no idea what Wu Xin was up to.

However, no matter what kind of medicine it is, it won't be a good one.

"We need to leave quickly. Qinyin must have gone to call for help. If we're too slow, we might run into her," Zhu Xiaoxiao said.

"Hey, A-Cai, what are you doing?"

Before Zhu Xiaoxiao could finish speaking, she saw Gan Cai'er lifting her dress and climbing into the window, so she quickly grabbed her.

"We can't let her off so easily!" Gan Cai'er said through gritted teeth.

"She likes to find men to ruin a woman's reputation, so I can't let her down."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xiaoxiao thought it made sense. So, she also lifted her skirt and followed Gan Cai'er into the house. Seeing this, Lan Tingzhi also jumped in without hesitation.

Only Wei Shi'an and Lu Ye were left standing there dumbfounded.

Gan Cai'er and the others worked together to move Wu Xin and Niu Si onto the daybed. Then they untied Niu Si's hands and feet, took Wu Xin's hairpin and made several bloody marks on his body, and finally put the two of them in an ambiguous position.

After doing all that, Gan Cai'er clapped her hands in satisfaction, then climbed out the window and ran away.

The group went around from behind the bamboo forest and walked quickly outwards.

"Oh right, what about the IUD?" Zhu Xiaoxiao suddenly stopped in her tracks.

“She’s outside Ziwu Courtyard,” Wei Shi’an replied.

"That's Wu Xin's courtyard. No, it's too dangerous. I have to go find her." Zhu Xiaoxiao said anxiously.

"Don't worry, I'll take you there right away."

As soon as Wei Shi'an finished speaking, everyone saw him pick up Zhu Xiaoxiao, leap into the air, and then disappear.

Lan Tingzhi gazed in the direction where the two had disappeared and murmured, "What about what he meant by the difference between men and women, and the principle of not touching each other?"

"You don't need to worry about them for now. Young Master Wei is skilled in martial arts, so nothing will happen to him. But you need to find a way to slip away quickly."

"This is the inner courtyard. If someone sees you here, you'll be in big trouble."

“But if I leave, what if someone tries to harm you again?” Lan Tingzhi refused.

"No, the ringleader of the evil deeds is still fast asleep in that room. If I go to a crowded place, in broad daylight, they won't dare to openly harm me."

"And speaking of what happened here, you should tell your brother as soon as possible."

Lanting hesitated for a moment, but finally obeyed and left.

At this moment, Mo Yun was feeling rather uneasy in the front yard.

"Young master, is it alright for the young master to go in alone?"

"Who said he's the only one?" Lan Tingzhou said calmly.

"Huh?! Who else is there?"

Lan Tingzhou raised his eyes, his gaze sweeping over the bustling hall, then lowered them again, a faint smile on his face.

"Don't worry, Miss Wu's target is me. She won't really do anything to A-Cai."

At the same time, Qin Yin rushed into Tingyun Pavilion while crying.

Tingyun Pavilion is where the young ladies of the Wu family usually practice music. Today, the Wu family has invited an opera troupe to perform here, making it an exceptionally lively occasion.

But no matter how loud the gongs and drums were on the stage, they couldn't drown out the mournful cry of the zither: "Please, Madam, do justice for my young lady!"

With that scream, Qin Yin rushed over like the wind, fell down in front of Old Madam Wu, and hit her head hard on the ground.

The once cheerful and lively Tingyun Pavilion fell silent instantly, as everyone's eyes turned to the sound of the zither.

Those who could sit in the center of Tingyun Pavilion were all noble ladies of considerable renown in Danzhou Prefecture.

These people were all shrewd and astute. They could tell from the situation that there was a real show to watch today, and their eyes lit up with interest.

"With such an honored guest at our door today, what kind of behavior is this? Someone, drag this lowly maid away!" Old Madam Wu was so angry that her face turned ashen.

"This servant deserves to die. Even if the old lady wants to beat me to death, I wouldn't dare complain. I only beg the old lady to consider the Eighth Miss's filial piety and do her a favor!"

Qin Yin wept bitterly, her voice choked with sobs, each note filled with sorrow, and the several red welts on her face were a shocking sight. In front of so many people, Old Madam Wu knew this matter could no longer be suppressed, and she felt a surge of indignation.

Wu Xin is the most promising of all the girls in the family. Since she's causing trouble today, I can't just ignore it.

"Tell me, what happened to your daughter? And what happened to all these injuries on you?"

"Reporting to Madam, the manor is filled with distinguished guests today. Miss has been helping you entertain them, but she got a little tired and went for a walk in the garden."

"When passing by the Green Bamboo Pavilion, there were strange noises coming from inside. Miss thought that there were many guests in the mansion today and was afraid that some distinguished guests might be disturbed, so she went forward to check."

"Who knew, who knew that this glance would lead to... to something I shouldn't have seen!" Qin Yin covered her face and burst into tears again.

"Hiss~~~" Several unintelligible gasps rang out from Tingyun Pavilion.

"And then what? Where is your young lady now?!" Old Madam Wu shouted sternly.

"When the young lady saw a villain committing evil, she rushed in to stop him. But the villain was drunk and didn't take her seriously at all. In order to protect our guest, the young lady and I fought with him, and both of us were injured."

"Especially Miss! She has a huge gash on her face, blood is flowing freely, please, Madam, do us justice!"

Huh, this development is quite unexpected! Everyone in Tingyun Pavilion turned their heads, curious about what this Miss Wu was up to.

"Which distinguished guest was offended? And where is the culprit now?"

"Reporting to the old lady, the villains have already tied up my young lady and locked her in the Green Bamboo Pavilion."

"The noble lady who was offended is... is Young Master Lan's wife."

There aren't many well-known young masters named Lan in Danzhou Prefecture, and the only one who is attending the banquet today is Lan Tingzhou.

Upon hearing that Lan Tingzhou's wife had an accident, several of the noble ladies present began to get excited.

Old Madam Wu was as clear-headed as a mirror and immediately understood Wu Xin's scheme.

"Granny Li, take my invitation and quickly go and invite Doctor Zhang to the mansion."

"Yes."

The middle-aged nanny who served Madam Wu quickly left Tingyun Pavilion.

At this moment, Madam Wu's face darkened: "Rulan, go to the front yard and invite Master and Young Master Lan here."

"Something unexpected happened at home today, which has spoiled everyone's mood. I hope you can forgive me for the sake of this old woman."

"You all continue to have fun and enjoy the opera. I have some family matters to attend to and will be right back."

Madam Wu apologized to everyone present, and then led a large group of maids and servants to the Green Bamboo Pavilion.

Who still has the mind to listen to the opera being performed on stage?

As soon as Madam Wu left, everyone got up and headed to the Green Bamboo Pavilion to catch the real show.
