A peasant girl travels through time with a hospital, rising to become an empress.

Everyone thought that Doctor Qian was an old man nearing sixty, but they didn't expect him to be so strong, not losing to Steward Zheng who was in his prime.

Manager Zheng used all his strength, his cheeks turning red, to try and smash the stool in his hand at Doctor Qian, but the stool did not budge.

Nie Qianqian twisted her wrist hard, and Manager Zheng felt a sharp pain in his wrist. Unable to hold on any longer, he let go, and the stool fell straight onto his feet, causing him to bend over like a shrimp in pain.

Manager Zheng curled up on the ground, clutching his left foot and crying out in pain, as if he couldn't straighten up.

Qian Yikuang's eyes widened in disbelief. He thought he was going to die here, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better. Doctor Qian's martial arts skills were so high that he directly defeated Steward Zheng!

Qian Yikuang kicked Manager Zheng in the back. He was still terrified when he thought about how Manager Zheng had tried to kill him to silence him.

At this moment, Qian Yikuang's personal servant heard the noise in the courtyard and ran over to check the situation.

Qian Yikuang pointed at Steward Zheng and ordered, "Tie him up quickly and take him to the authorities immediately!"

Upon hearing this, the servant immediately stepped forward, attempting to grab Steward Zheng's arm.

Just then, a sudden change occurred. Manager Zheng, who had been unable to straighten up due to pain, suddenly jumped up, his eyes flashing with a sharp light. He raised his hand and threw out a packet of medicine powder. The servant in front of him inhaled a lot of it and immediately fainted.

Qian Yikuang and Nie Qianqian were both some distance away from Steward Zheng. Nie Qianqian held her breath immediately and did not inhale the powder. Qian Yikuang was not so alert and inhaled a small amount of the powder, immediately feeling dizzy.

Manager Zheng seized the opportunity and, without the slightest hesitation, fled out the door.

Liu Meiqing had been crying ever since she was caught in adultery, but her crying stopped abruptly when she saw Steward Zheng run away alone without any hesitation.

Liu Meiqing's eyes were filled with intense hatred, a hatred that seemed capable of tearing a person apart.

When love is at its peak, people pledge their lives to each other; when disaster strikes, they fly away separately.

Feelings are the most fickle thing; men are all scoundrels.

She gripped her clothes tightly with her hands, thinking, "If you're unkind, I'll be unkind too."

Liu Meiqing only paused for a moment before bursting into tears again. She stood up and rushed to Qian Yikuang's side, sobbing uncontrollably, "Master, Master, how are you? Are you alright?"

Qian Yikuang pushed Liu Meiqing aside and turned to Nie Qianqian for help, saying, "Doctor Qian, Doctor Qian, please help me. We absolutely cannot let that thief get away."

Nie Qianqian sighed. This is really troublesome; being a Good Samaritan is not easy.

Nie Qianqian nodded helplessly, got up and chased after him.

They were located in the northeast corner of the mansion, and there was a back gate at the entrance of the courtyard. This Steward Zheng must have practiced some leg skills, as he ran extremely fast and had already reached the gate.

Nie Qianqian frowned slightly. If she let him leave the manor, there would be many people coming and going outside, making it difficult to catch him. Nie Qianqian took out a dart from her spatial storage and prepared to shoot it at Steward Zheng's right leg.

Just as Steward Zheng was about to step out of the mansion, a small, thin figure darted out from the corner and hugged Steward Zheng tightly.

"You can't run! You killed Madam! You can't run!" The speaker was Ah Ling, who was less than Zheng's shoulder height. At this moment, she was using all her strength to hug Zheng.

Just as Manager Zheng was about to escape and have a chance to survive, Ah Ling blocked his way, and Manager Zheng immediately used his elbow to smash Ah Ling's back hard.

Ah Ling was already frail, and when Manager Zheng hit her like that, she felt her blood surging, a metallic taste in her throat, and cold sweat breaking out on her forehead. Even so, she still didn't let go, desperately dragging Manager Zheng along, shouting, "Help! Help!"

Upon seeing this, Nie Qianqian hurriedly shouted, "Ah Ling, let go!" Before she finished speaking, she threw the dart in her hand.

Although Ah Ling heard Nie Qianqian's words, how could she let the murderer who killed the First Madam escape? She stopped Steward Zheng regardless of the consequences.

Manager Zheng, frustrated by Ah Ling's restraint, pulled out a dagger from his pocket and stabbed Ah Ling.

Before he could strike, his right foot was hit by a dart, and the pain made his face turn pale instantly. He lost much of his strength when he thrust the dagger at Ah Ling, but he still managed to hit her.

Manager Zheng collapsed, and Ah Ling fell to the ground with him, her back bleeding profusely.

Nie Qianqian rushed forward and first dislocated Steward Zheng's legs with two quick snaps, then checked Ah Ling's injuries.

The dagger was extremely sharp, and Ah Ling's back was already torn open. Fortunately, Steward Zheng did not use his full strength, so his lungs and internal organs were not injured; it was only a superficial wound.

"What a silly girl."

If she hadn't been there today, Ah Ling would probably have died on the spot.

Ah Ling's face was pale, devoid of any color. Looking at Steward Zheng lying on the ground, she said weakly, "Great, we caught him."

"Dr. Qian, thank you for catching him, thank you for saving my life." After saying this, Ah Ling fainted.

Qian Yikuang staggered out after them. At this moment, the servants in the mansion heard the noise in the courtyard and rushed in. When they saw the scene before them, they were all dumbfounded.

Qian Yikuang sternly ordered, "One of you come and tie up Steward Zheng. Ah Da, go and search Steward Zheng's room. Make sure to find everything he has hidden."

Since Steward Zheng was poisoning him every day, there must be medicine hidden in the room. Finding the powder would be catching him red-handed.

Nie Qianqian gently picked up A Ling and carried her back to the room to treat her injuries.

Inside the room, Liu Meiqing was still sobbing softly. Nie Qianqian glanced at her and noticed that she had already dressed herself properly at some point. She was truly calm in a panic.

Liu Meiqing's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and she looked pitiful. When she saw Qian Yikuang return to the room, she knelt down at his feet, grabbed his trouser leg, and cried, "Master, Master, I was really drugged. I was just taking a walk around here when I suddenly felt unwell and came to this guest room to rest. But then I started to feel hot all over and became delirious. Soon after, Steward Zheng came. I wasn't thinking straight at all and couldn't recognize who it was. My head was spinning, and that's why I did something I'm sorry for, Master."

After saying that, she started slapping herself repeatedly.

Qian Yikuang said coldly, "Do you think I didn't hear what you said while I was outside?"

Liu Meiqing: "Master, I have no idea what I'm saying. It's really like I've been cursed."

Nie Qianqian: I'm not taking the blame for this curse!

“My lord, I have taken care of you in every way all these years since I married you. You know my heart. During my childbirth, I almost died in a difficult labor. I was on the verge of death. If it weren’t for you, my lord, I would have passed away on the spot.”

Nie Qianqian thought to herself: It's time to test whether you're love-struck or not.

Qian Yikuang recalled Liu Meiqing's tenderness and meticulous care over the years, and a slight ripple appeared in his eyes. However, it quickly turned into doubt, anger, and resentment.

Qian Yikuang pointed at Liu Meiqing and angrily shouted, "You bitch! Is Duoduo really my child?"
