The door opened, and Liu Ying huffed and puffed as she dragged a sack in. Seeing Physician Jiang standing at the door, she pushed him aside, saying, "Excuse me, it's so heavy."

Lu Zhiyuan climbed in through the window, startling Imperial Physician Jiang, who reached out to catch her.

Liu Ying pouted and untied the burlap sack: "Our young lady is amazing. She's incredibly good at climbing walls. She can't possibly fall through a window this high."

Physician Jiang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked at Lu Zhiyuan, saying, "When did you learn to climb walls? Does your mother know?"

"They should know, right?" Lu Zhiyuan pinched her ear. "Let's take care of business first. As soon as it's light, the Fang family will be here to ambush us."

"What...what important business are you doing?" Physician Jiang was completely baffled, but he knew it was time to leave.

Climb the wall?

Yes, Yuan'er and Liuying can climb over the wall to come in, and they can also climb over the wall to go out.

I glanced at the courtyard wall through the window. It was quite high. I felt a pang of worry, wondering if his old arms and legs could still climb over it.

Liu Ying pulled a person out of the sack and urged Imperial Physician Jiang to help carry the person to the bed. When Imperial Physician Jiang saw who it was, he was stunned. His name was Jiang Yuntian, born to a concubine of the Jiang family, and a notorious playboy in the capital. His father had been adopted into the main branch of the Jiang family, and if it weren't for Imperial Physician Jiang's birth, he would have been the rightful legitimate grandson of the Jiang family.

“Jiang Yuntian isn’t a playboy; all those romantic escapades of his are fake.” Lu Zhiyuan squatted down and pinched Jiang Yuntian’s nose. “His parents always compare him to you. Seeing that you have no interest in your career, they pressured him to improve himself and find a way to seize control of the Jiang family. He knows his own limitations and also knows that seizing control of the Jiang family isn’t so easy, so he’s always causing trouble to try and make his parents give up. He likes Miss Fang, and today has just fulfilled his wish.”

“No, no, Miss Fang doesn’t like him. Wouldn’t Yuan’er ruin her life by doing this?” Imperial Physician Jiang objected: “It was wrong of her to knock me unconscious and force me to marry her at the manor, but I can’t let her be ruined because of this. A woman’s life is a matter of life and death, how can it be done so casually?”

"Then what do you suggest we do?" Lu Zhiyuan spread her hands: "Your disappearance has already reached the palace. The Emperor and Empress summoned my mother to the palace to inquire about it. The Fang family knows that you were knocked unconscious and taken to the estate to be married. They will come here to take you away after dawn. Even if you escape, Fang Zhi can spread rumors that you have consummated your marriage with her. What will you do then? Go ahead and marry Fang Zhi? You don't like her, and if you marry her, you will definitely treat her coldly. Rather than letting her marry you, you might as well let her marry Jiang Yuntian. Maybe that will even lead to a good marriage."

Lu Zhiyuan did not tell Imperial Physician Jiang that in the original story, Fang Zhi married him at the cost of sacrificing her chastity. Imperial Physician Jiang was resentful and did not give her the position of principal wife, but instead made her a concubine.

After her mother's death, Imperial Physician Jiang sought revenge but was murdered by Lu Huai and Ji Wanwan. Fang Zhi then committed suicide by crashing into the coffin, sacrificing herself for love. Jiang Yuntian was the one who collected her body after her death.

Her intervention altered the original plot. Lu Huai and Ji Wanwan developed a rift, and Ji Wanwan was nearly killed by Lu Jinyao. She survived with the system's help and is now being placed in a secret location by the system to be used against Prince Yong'an in the future. Her mother's divorce from Lu Huai prevented her from dying, Imperial Physician Jiang wouldn't die because of her mother, and Fang Zhi wouldn't have to commit suicide for love.

Since the plot has already been rewritten, let's rewrite it thoroughly and sever the ill-fated relationship between Physician Jiang and Fang Zhi, and bring her together with Jiang Yuntian.

While Physician Jiang was still hesitating, Lu Zhiyuan and Liu Ying had already moved Fang Zhi to the bed.

“Believe me, Fang Zhi will be happier marrying Jiang Yuntian than marrying you.” Lu Zhiyuan pushed Imperial Physician Jiang out the door and gestured for Liu Ying to close the doors and windows. “Fang Zhi doesn’t love you; she loves the feeling of how meticulously you took care of her. If she really becomes your wife, you will not only not take care of her, but you will also despise and hate her. At that time, it will be the two of you who suffer. At least Jiang Yuntian truly loves her.”

Lu Zhiyuan glanced inside the room: "Even if the outcome is bad, it's her own fault. If it were me, I would never have gone to such lengths to find Jiang Yuntian for her. There are plenty of beggars on the street; I could have just grabbed one."

Liu Ying raised her chin: "Our young lady is too kind-hearted! It's because of Fang Zhi that our lady not only had to go to the palace to be scolded, but also had to set off in three days... no, it's two days now, and she still has to set off to guard the border in two days."

Liu Ying said in a muffled voice, "I don't know if anyone cares for her or loves her. I only know that Miss grew up in a separate courtyard and suffered all kinds of scorn and bullying. She finally reunited with Madam, but after only a few days of loving care from her mother, she is about to be separated from her because of Fang Zhi. Miss is going to go to the palace. Is that a place for people to stay?"

"Yunniang is going to the border?" At this moment, Imperial Physician Jiang could no longer care about Fang Zhi and asked anxiously, "Yuan'er is going to the palace? Just because of Miss Fang?"

Liu Ying rolled her eyes at her: "It's related to her, and the main responsibility lies with you. If you hadn't provoked her, how could she have knocked you unconscious and taken you away? If you hadn't disappeared, how could the Emperor have summoned our lady to the palace, and how could our lady and young lady have been so unlucky? In short, our lady and young lady were killed because of you."

"I'm going to see the Emperor! My disappearance has nothing to do with the General's Mansion or Yunniang."

Physician Jiang hurriedly walked to the courtyard gate, only to be stopped by the quick-witted Liu Ying. This was the Fang family's estate, and everyone inside and out was a member of the Fang family. Going out like this would be like throwing lambs to the slaughter. If they were caught, all the hard work she and her young lady had put in to climb over the wall would have been for nothing.

The tug-of-war alerted the guards at the manor, who quickly pulled Physician Jiang to the base of the wall. The guards peered out from the doorway, and Lu Zhiyuan managed to trick them into leaving by mimicking a cat's meow.

The next day, with red eyes, Fang Zhi blocked Imperial Physician Jiang at the Jiang family's door, questioning him why the person in the room had become Jiang Yuntian, and asking if he knew that the Fang family was going to discuss marriage with the Jiang family and marry her to Jiang Yuntian. She tightly clutched her handkerchief, pleading with Imperial Physician Jiang and the elders of both the Jiang and Fang families to explain the situation.

Physician Jiang's face was gloomy, and he held the medicine packet without saying a word.

If she felt any remorse last night, she felt none today. Fang Zhi acted willfully, only thinking of herself, never considering the trouble her words and actions caused others.

"I know you don't like me! Fang Zhi is willing to be a concubine, but I beg you, Physician Jiang, not to make me marry Jiang Yuntian."

“Miss Fang’s marriage is a matter for the Fang family to decide, and it is not for an outsider like me to interfere. Also, I haven’t seen Miss Fang for the past few days and I don’t know what happened to her last night. I have other matters to attend to, so please do not block my way any further.”

"Do you really want me to marry Jiang Yuntian?" Fang Zhi's eyes reddened again: "I don't ask to be your legal wife, I don't ask you to like me, I only ask to stay by your side, is that not enough?"

"No!" Physician Jiang turned his head: "Who does Miss Fang think she is? What does she think my Jiang family is? Does she think that just anyone can be my concubine? Since Miss Fang is engaged to Yun Tian, ​​she shouldn't be stopping me here. Miss Fang should know that, in terms of seniority, I am Yun Tian's uncle."

"Ha." Fang Zhi laughed: "Uncle, niece-in-law, you are really heartless! Do you think you can marry Xie Chaoyun if you don't marry me? Forget about it. She is going to the border and will not come back alive."
