The pampered wife of a tyrannical husband, an unbridled queen. A fifty-five-year-old man who has attained the Tao, where are you?

  Bai Xinzhi left the hall and went straight to the study.

  That disgusting old woman was really disgusted by her. If she continues to listen to her, she probably won't be able to eat for several days.

  Yin Du, standing guard outside the study door, watched as she stormed in, almost blinding himself. In all these days, this was the first time he had seen the new queen's angry face.

  He was absolutely unmistakable, the princess's eyebrows were furrowed and her cheeks were puffed up, she was definitely angry.

  "...?!" The door of the study was heavily closed, and a loud "bang" shook him out of his astonishment. Rubbing his eyes, he confirmed that he had not seen wrongly.

  The blood shadow seemed to know it couldn't enter the study at this moment, standing still and motionless far outside the study door.

  He rubbed his chin and walked away.

  "Hey, woman, you didn't offend the princess, did you?" Thinking that Bai Xinyan might have been driven out by this cold-faced woman, he felt a little schadenfreude. He turned his head to look at the study door with great expectation, hoping to see a certain woman dragging her husband out and then pointing at Blood Shadow while crying to her husband.

  "Mind your own business."

  She didn't answer but instead asked back, making Yin Du even more certain of his thoughts. The corner of his mouth involuntarily curled up into a triumphant smile.

  "Hmph!" Just wait and see how I'll deal with you when I come out!

  You dare! You dare! You don't take me, a high-ranking imperial guard, seriously!

  When someone is spanking you, I'll definitely take it upon myself to do it personally and make sure your butt gets a good thrashing!

  Yin Du Yue thought with increasing satisfaction, feeling that the time had come to tame this cold and arrogant woman. Just then, a familiar voice came from the study, sending shivers down her spine even from a distance.

  "Blood Shadow, come in!"

  Yin Du was even more complacent, raising her chin and looking down at a certain cold-faced and proud woman with disdain, giving her an expression of "good luck to you".

  He didn't even give him a glance, and walked towards the study with an expressionless face.

  In the study, Yan Mo saw someone coming in and directly gave a cold order: "From now on, anyone who disturbs Wang Fei's quiet time, don't need to ask for my permission, just drive them all out for me!"

  Ji's wife came with a purpose, just to get close and flatter him into helping, but he didn't expect Bai's wife would also frequently run to the Prince's residence.

  This old venomous woman! It seems she hasn't been taught a lesson enough, still daring to show her face and cause trouble at his mansion!

  "Blood Shadow bowed his head: 'Yes, I obey your orders.'"

  Yin Du was waiting outside the door for his master to summon him to take Blood Shadow away, but unexpectedly, after a while, Blood Shadow walked out from inside, with a cold expression, and brushed past him as if he were going to leave.

  "Hey, woman, how many planks did I tell you to fetch?" He stretched out his hand and blocked the bloodstain, asking with a sneer.

  A faint glimmer of bloodthirsty intent flashed across his face, which was unusually pleased with itself. He withdrew his gaze and turned to leave, leaving behind two cold, hard words -

  "Damn it!"

  "......?! Yin Du glared with wide eyes. Ah, he actually dared to scold him?!"

  It wasn't until he wanted to chase after her and fight with the woman that she vanished from his sight.

  "Hum! You stinky woman who doesn't know life or death, one day I'll let you taste the power of Grandpa Du! Don't think that just because you're a woman, Grandpa Du won't dare to do anything to you! Just wait and see when I beat you until you cry out in terror!"

  A woman, not content with staying at home and embroidering flowers, actually dares to show off in front of him! Does she really think he's a vegetarian?

  Hmph!

  Just as he was muttering reluctantly, the door of the study was suddenly opened, and the man with a majestic appearance was now pale-faced, holding a frail woman in his arms. He let out a frightening low growl at him: "Quickly go and find the Medical Sage for me!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, the tall figure of the man swept over his head like a strong wind, bringing with it a chill that seemed to seep into his bones.

  "...?!" Yin Du didn't react until a while later. Coming to his senses, he immediately beckoned to the two guards not far away and hastily left through the back door with them.

  If he didn't see it wrongly, their princess must have encountered something big, otherwise the master wouldn't be so nervous!

  Yes, I was just nervous earlier, a kind of nervousness I've never felt before.

  In the room

  Bai Xin was clutching her stomach and rolling around on the bed, her small face deathly pale, with a teeth-clenched and brow-furrowed expression that made her look even more distorted, and fine sweat had even begun to break out on her forehead.

  Due to the malnutrition of this body in the early days, it was only after crossing over that she came to menstruation. Not only did her period come late, but since then, every time her period approached, she was all sorts of miserable.

  Irregular menstruation, abdominal distension and pain, heavy flow... almost all women's diseases.

  It's been over a month since I had my period, but today that old woman really got me angry and it actually came out.

  Looking at the woman hugging her belly and rolling around on the bed, gritting her teeth and gasping for air, Yan Mo was so scared that he didn't dare to touch her. His hand, stretched out in mid-air, trembled slightly, especially when he saw the bloodstain spreading and growing larger. Sweat began to trickle down his forehead, his face was tense, his pupils were wide with fear, and the veins on his forehead throbbed violently. It's hard to tell if he was scared or trying to scare others.

  "Master, let me do it." Blood Shadow spoke out with a expressionless face. Originally she was going to wait for orders, but after a long time without being told what to do, she could only take the initiative to speak up.

  I raised my head and suddenly found someone beside me. I immediately coldly scolded: "What are you still doing here?"

  He naturally saw that his wife had come with her monthly affair. But he had never been in contact with such things and didn't know how to handle it at all.

  The blood shadow stood still.

  He lowered his brush and turned around, his face shocked, just about to get angry, when he heard the cold voice of Xue Ying coming from behind him:

  "Sir, please step aside."

  Yan Mo's face sank, and the cold air at the bottom of his eyes grew thicker. Back off? His own woman was already in this state, and he was supposed to back off?

  A hand suddenly swooped down from mid-air, scooping up the woman on the bed and locking her in his own embrace. His eyes glared at Blood Shadow with a murderous gaze, growling: "Don't you hurry to fetch hot water for the princess to clean herself?"

  Xue Ying walked out of the room, and a moment later, she came back in with a bowl of hot water. She saw that Yan Mo Yu had already replaced Bai Xinzhu's hand with her own to press on Bai Xinzhu's lower abdomen. She placed the hot water on the embroidered pillow at the head of the bed, then took out some items for women's monthly needs.

  Looking at a certain man who didn't seem to have any intention of leaving, Blood Shadow was stunned for an instant before going to take off Bai Xinzhu's pants.

  "You... you go out first... I'll do it myself." Bai Xin's aching teeth were almost bitten to pieces, but this kind of thing still needed someone else's help, and there was even a man standing by watching. Even if she was open-minded, she felt embarrassed and flustered, and quickly pushed away the man who was holding her.

  "Stop it!" Yan Mo's heart was filled with worry, and seeing Bai Xincheng still trying to chase him away, he suddenly turned cold and scolded her, while grabbing her hand.

  Is there anywhere on her body he hasn't seen?

  If he didn't know much about women's affairs, at this moment he would have even driven Blood Shadow away and served her personally.

  "What are you doing?" This voice was directed at Blood Shadow.

  Bai Xin's face turned red instantly. Xue Ying was a woman, which wasn't unusual, as she used to chat with women about women's stuff before. But a big man watching a woman wash her butt and change her sanitary napkin, isn't that perverted?

  "Let me go, get out!" White Xin's face suddenly turned bright red as she watched the blood shadow about to take off her pants. Ignoring the severe pain in her lower abdomen, she summoned all her strength and pushed against the man who was holding her tightly.

  Mo Yan's face turned a bit dark. He was clearly the person closest to her, yet he still looked down on her, and his heart suddenly wasn't feeling right. Lifting his hand, he quickly tapped the woman's neck twice, and Bai Xincheng hadn't expected him to tap her sleep acupoint, so she tilted her head and immediately fell unconscious.

  ……

  An hour later, in the luxurious but low-key bedroom, a man in white clothes and snow-white robes appeared. The young face, elegant and delicate features, all over his body had a clear and elegant atmosphere like a lotus, however, if one ignored the melancholy air between the young man's eyebrows and the sound of grinding teeth, this man was absolutely a handsome and extraordinary person.

  In the bedroom, all that can be heard is the sound of a living person's breathing and the grinding of teeth by some kind of banished immortal man.

  Ignoring the fierce and sinister look of the man, Yan Mo's gaze remained fixed on the woman's peaceful sleeping face. After a long while, seeing that the man who was taking her pulse had not withdrawn his fingers, she couldn't help but shoot him a cold glance.

  "A great medical sage like you can't even cure a minor illness. Should I have your signboard smashed?"

  Known as Dr. Feng, he endured and endured again, only just managing to stop his legs from walking out the door.

  I thought he was in a hurry to find him for something big, but it turned out that he came to see a doctor for a woman, and it's that kind of illness!

  He, a renowned medical sage, loved nothing more than tackling complex and obscure cases. To ask him to diagnose a woman's ailments was an affront to his dignity!

  There are doctors all over the street, just pick one at random and bring him back!

  What's the point of looking for him? How annoying!

  He withdrew his hand, and his eyes, which were like rippling waves, showed a hint of impatience. He glanced sideways at a certain man who had already lost his patience, stood up, walked to the edge of the table, saw that Blood Shadow had already prepared the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and without being polite, he picked up the pen and began writing down the prescription.

  Xue Ying didn't ask another question and took the prescription before disappearing outside the door.

  Seeing this, Mo Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was his absolute trust in Feng Yi, believing that with him around, his woman would definitely be safe.

  His expression was all taken in by Feng Yiran, who poured a cup of tea and drank it elegantly before speaking coldly.

  "Don't be too happy, brother and sister's situation is not so simple."

  Her eyebrows furrowed, she stared tightly at his face, her eyes venomously spraying onto his dust-free and absolutely-colored face, as if to say "If you don't explain clearly, I'll fight with my life".

  "What does it mean?"

  Feng Yicong smiled slightly with a hint of a smile, meeting that extremely unfriendly gaze head-on.

  For the first time, he saw this brother so tense, and the object was a woman, which was quite unexpected. Moreover, it is said that this younger sister has a chronic illness, and he originally wanted to take a look at her to see if she could still be treated, but unexpectedly this brother refused to let him appear in Cheng Wang Fu.

  I took a look today and it turned out to be the case. I thought he really married a deaf-mute woman, and it made him tense up for nothing.

  "Speak." Yan Mo's gaze became even more piercing. The scene of Bai Xin's painful expression still lingered in his mind, and he was already tense with anxiety. Now, hearing this person speak, his heart became even more uneasy.

  "My sister's physique is slightly different from that of ordinary women. She has a slender build, which is due to her lifestyle over the years. Moreover, she used to be so depressed that her menstruation was delayed, and for various reasons, her periods were irregular, either late or with excessive flow. If this continues, I'm afraid..."

  "...He lowered his eyelids and asked in a low voice,"What are you afraid of?"

  "It's likely to make her infertile."

  Upon hearing this, Yan Mo's body suddenly stiffened, his gaze turned back and fell on that thin little face. His heart felt as if it had been poked by a hard object, the pain was so intense that he found it difficult to breathe.

  The gaze cast on the woman's face overflowed with heartache as it accompanied the ache in her heart.

  "But is there a way to cure her normally?" After a long time, he spoke out and asked, his voice low and hoarse.

  Feng Yijun slightly hooked up the perfect thin lips, and smiled: "With me here, why are you so nervous? Didn't I tell you to grab medicine?"

  He put down his brush and turned around, looking at him with a serious gaze: "Are you sure you can cure her?"

  The issue of children he didn't consider for the time being, after all, he hadn't truly won her heart yet, and he wasn't sure if she would bear him children. He just hoped that nothing happened to her body, and didn't want her to suffer like before...

  Feng Yi Feng stood up, his face somewhat dark: "If you don't believe me, why did you call me here? Hmph!"

  How could this be, actually daring to doubt his medical skills.

  Others don't know, does he still not know?

  He let out a cold hum, slightly raised his chin, and turned around to walk out of the room.

  In the room, only one man and one woman were left.

  Without the woman's voice, the large room was somewhat dull and depressing, especially with the man exuding a painful aura all over his body, which made the room even more oppressive.

  "Xiao Er..." He held the woman, along with her bedding, in his arms. He reached out to stroke the delicate eyebrows that were still creased from sleep, and his heart ached beyond words.

  Recalling the scene when he first met her, he knew she had a tough life.

  What truly made him unforgettable was those few eggs. For the sake of this stranger, she didn't eat a single one and gave them all to him.

  What kind of mood would make her stay in a place like that?

  What kind of hard days made her so weak and thin today?

  If only he had known, from the moment she returned to Beijing, he shouldn't have kept her at the White Manor. These past few days, because of the people at the White Manor, she was also forced to go through a lot of trouble...

  He has a certain responsibility, being too kind and indulgent to those people!

  Even after she married into the Cheng Wang Fu, there were still some restless people who came to disturb her peace!

  ……

  When Bai Xing woke up, he found that it was already dark outside.

  As soon as I opened my eyes, the familiar handsome face of the man appeared before me, along with his furrowed eyebrows and a worried yet serious expression.

  A warm current flowed from her lower abdomen into her body, gradually spreading throughout her entire being, making her feel so comfortable that she hummed with delight.

  A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. He actually used his internal energy to adjust his own meridians?

  Her stomach was warm and cozy, without the cramping pain of her period, at this moment she only felt like her whole body had been infused with energy.

  "Awake?" Seeing her open her eyes, the clear and bright pupils stared straight at him. Yan Mo Yu withdrew his internal energy and used his large palm to gently press on her lower abdomen.

  As soon as he spoke up, Bai Xin thought of what happened before she fainted, and suddenly rolled her eyes, awkwardly turning her head away.

  A man who watches a woman change her sanitary napkin must be thinking something very strange!

  "Blood Shadow." Perhaps guessing that she was upset, Yan Mo gave a faint smile and called out towards the door.

  Dai Xueying brought in the medicinal liquid, and only then did he turn the woman's body over. He put his arm through her neck to prop up her upper body. "This is a specially prepared medicine for your body. You must take it on time every day until you recover."

  Looking at the black medicine liquid in the blood shadow food plate, just smelling it made people feel nauseous. But Bai Xincheng was stunned for a moment, then took over the bowl, closed his eyes and frowned, and swallowed the bitter and smelly medicine liquid with one breath.

  She had known for a long time that her body was problematic. However, due to the poor conditions in Maoshan Village, she couldn't take care of her body. Now that someone is specially taking care of her body, she naturally wouldn't refuse.

  Her body is the capital of revolution, and she is not so pretentious as to refuse to cure herself just because the medicine is bitter.

  "Cough, cough, cough..." She managed to pour the medicine into her own mouth, but poured it too quickly, causing herself to be choked severely.

  A large hand patted her back, helping her catch her breath.

  Bai Xin suppressed her cough and was about to say thank you when suddenly a piece of cake appeared at the corner of her mouth.

  She didn't hesitate, opening her mouth to take it in. At the same time, she cast a grateful glance at the man.

  The blood shadow silently retreated.

  The room fell silent again.

  Bai Xin thought of him possibly changing his sanitary napkin, and she still felt a bit embarrassed and awkward, her ears slightly reddened, and she turned her gaze away.

  "Thank you." Her stomach didn't hurt as much anymore, she knew it was all his doing.

  He let out a sigh and put down his brush.

  Turn her face so she's looking at herself.

  "Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"

  At this, Bai Xin stared at him with a look of disdain: "You think this kind of thing is glorious?"

  Yan Mo gave him a cold face: "I am your husband, what's wrong with saying it?"

  "Don't women have secrets too?"

  "Don't forget you're this king's woman, what secrets can you still keep from me?"

  "Excuse me, I have personal privacy too."

  "Damn it! You dare to mention 'privacy' again?! " Yan Moyu was thoroughly cold-faced, black-faced and smelly-faced.

  Looking at that ferocious face, Bai Xiner shut her mouth and fell silent.

  Not speaking is fine, right?

  He glared at her fiercely, dissatisfied with her 'playing dead' look. His palm pressed against her frail shoulders, and he lowered his head to kiss her lips roughly, nibbling on them with a hint of anger.

  His lips were a little sore from being kissed by him, and Bai Xinzhen originally wanted to push him away. But thinking of his anxious and worried appearance earlier, the hand that was pressed against his chest finally gave up struggling and wrapped around his neck, tilting her chin up and letting him vent his emotions by biting her lips.

  Her softness made Yan Mo's movements gradually lighter. His eyes changed from cold to warm, and his handsome face also became gentle, holding the back of her head, and the big tongue that squeezed into her mouth also became gentle, teasing her small tongue, lightly sucking and taking in.

  The two of them kissed for a long time before separating.

  He wrapped her slightly softened body in his arms and stroked her back from top to bottom like comforting a kitten.

  "From now on, tell me everything, don't let me worry again, got it?"

  Watching her take a deep breath and drink down the bitter medicine, he knew she must be clear about her physical condition, otherwise why would she cooperate so obediently?

  It's precisely because of this that he feels even more uncomfortable in his heart.

  He doesn't care if she has children or not, but he doesn't want anything to happen to her, not even a little bit, and he won't allow it!

  Her cheek rested on his chest, feeling the warmth of his body, listening to his strong and powerful heartbeat, Bai Xincheng's heart was filled with a growing sense of warmth, and suddenly her stomach didn't hurt as much anymore.

  ……

  The next day, Mo Yu originally wanted to send someone to deliver a letter to the palace to ask for leave, but was stopped by Bai Xincheng.

  The man's tension was somewhat exaggerated, leaving her crying and laughing at the same time.

  What's the big deal? All women have those few days every month.

  Isn't it just because of this woman that he doesn't even want his job anymore?

  If this gets out, she'll be too ashamed to show her face in public, and he probably will be too.

  He didn't want to leave her side, yesterday he was worried all day, last night the woman was sometimes good and sometimes bad, tossing him around all night, he had no idea how many things she used. Just looking at those crimson bloodstains made it impossible for him to fall asleep.

  After a sleepless night of coaxing and comforting her, after she had taken her medicine in the morning and was slightly less painful, how could he bear to leave?

  But thinking of what Feng Yifeng had entrusted to him, he didn't dare argue with Bai Xinyan, so he tidied himself up, changed into his court attire and went to the palace.

  Early in the morning, he hurried to Chong Wang Fu.

  Hearing Blood Shadow say she was still alright, he let out a breath of relief.

  As soon as he heard Blood Shadow mention that Lady Season had been there, his face suddenly turned cold.

  "From now on, these people can be directly driven out. If they are allowed to enter the palace and disturb the princess again, I, the king, will not care if you are a person of the emperor or not, and will punish you together!"

  "Yes. A small token of respect." Blood Shadow replied with a bow, his face as calm and expressionless as ever, like a copper wall that could withstand any storm. Not only did he not show the slightest fear, but he even added, "Sir, the princess has already ordered us to leave."

  Upon hearing this, Mo Yan was somewhat surprised: "What did the princess say?"

  Xue Ying took out a roll of rice paper from his hand and spread it out in front of Yan Mo.

  All he saw was two huge characters on the rice paper: GET OUT!

  He roughly guessed the meaning of these two words, and Yan Mo suddenly curled up the corners of his lips.

  Just looking at those two simple and elegant fonts, he was somewhat surprised. Even a little thrilled.

  "Is this written by the princess herself?"

  "Yes, sir." Blood Shadow nodded.

  Upon hearing this, a hint of warmth floated up to the bottom of my eyes. I took the rice paper from him and carefully read it twice before slowly rolling it up and putting it into my sleeve.

  He had heard about her, knew she had attended school, and it was a different kind of school from theirs. This was the first time he saw what she wrote, didn't expect that she could write quite well.

  Although lacking in flair, it is elegant and pleasing to read, and can be considered as good handwriting.

  "Go ahead." He carefully put away the rice paper and inkstone, and gave a soft order.

  Just as he was about to turn around and step inside, Blood Shadow suddenly said behind him: "Master, the princess hasn't had breakfast yet, she says she wants to wait for you to return and have it together."

  He stopped in his tracks, and with a slight nod, he said: "Bring all the food to my room. Also, inform Yin Du that I am busy today and will not be receiving any guests. If anyone comes seeking an audience, tell them to come back in three days."

  "Yes." The Blood Shadow retreated.

  Bai Xin had not slept soundly from the night till morning. Perhaps it was due to the medication, her stomach didn't hurt as much, but the intermittent cramps still made her want to sleep, yet she couldn't sleep because of the pain.

  Watching the man return to his room with a serious expression, she weakly raised her hand and beckoned him over.

  "Still feeling unwell?" He grasped her arm and put it back under the covers, looking down at her pale face.

  Bai Xin squeezed out a wry smile. When she used to live alone, she didn't think it was that hard to bear, anyway the pain would pass in a few days. But now with someone by her side, she felt quite uncomfortable, for herself and also for this man beside her.

  It was obviously her aunt who arrived, but what was unbearable was that this man was like he was about to give birth himself, making people laugh and cry at the same time, and indeed, she was moved by him.

  It's just that it affects his mood and life, and he still has some discomfort. The guilt in his heart is also growing bit by bit.

  "Mo Yu..." For the first time, she truly and sincerely called out his name.

  His whole body stiffened, as if something had triggered him, and his eyes burned with a deep, fiery passion.

  He bent down, stroking the pale and weak cheek of the woman, whispering softly: "Call me once more?"

  "Mo Yu..." Bai Xin said without hesitation, but immediately followed up with another sentence, "Can you knock me out like you did yesterday?"

  "......?!?" Yan Mo's mouth twitched for a moment. Then, with a cry of laughter and tears, she stared at her, "Do you think being sealed is a good thing?"

  Yesterday, he saw her suffering extremely, and his heart ached so much that he had no choice but to press her sleep acupoint. However, yesterday, Feng also warned him not to use this method again, otherwise it would easily lead to her qi and blood flowing in reverse, which would only worsen her condition and have the opposite effect.

  Bai Xin's face showed some disappointment, and she fell silent. She stretched out her hand from under the covers, placing the man's warm palm on her lower abdomen. "Then use your internal energy to warm me up like you did yesterday."

  "...A black line fell from the tip of my pen onto her forehead. My palm gently rubbed her lower abdomen, but I didn't use internal energy. 'Yesterday, I found that your body was slightly cold, and as your husband, I couldn't bear it, so I did it that way. This method is also not feasible. There is too much cold air in your body, and it's not suitable to force out the cold with internal energy.'"

  Those warm palms stuck to herself, Bai Xin felt comfortable and hummed. If she didn't need to, then she wouldn't, it seemed like this was okay too.

  "Come on... come on a bit more... yeah..."

  "Left... A bit left... Heavier..."

  "Mmm...mmm..."

  With her eyes closed, she instructed the man to do things while humming comfortably.

  His hand was on her smooth skin, by his ear was the soft and seductive humming of a woman, his Adam's apple rolled, he only felt that some part of him seemed to be awakened by the woman, his heart itched and felt somewhat unbearable.

  But he knew it was impossible for him to want her at this time.

  With a bitter heart and a strong restraint on his body, he secretly sighed and tried to prevent himself from being tempted by her.

  ……

  The old lady arrived at the Cheng Wang Fu but didn't see anyone, and to make matters worse, she was chased out of the main courtyard by a maid, leaving her so angry that she almost burst into a loud scolding on the spot.

  She's just a lowly maid, yet she acts so haughty, not only is she rude to guests, but also dares to humiliate her with the words "get out"!

  How can she swallow this tone at her age?

  In terms of age, she is a senior; in terms of status, she is the grandmother of the Crown Princess. A mere maid, relying on her master's favor, dares to do whatever she wants - it's really detestable!

  Old Lady Qi really did remember the Blood Shadow with hatred, cursing him non-stop all along the way. It's not that Old Lady Qi misunderstood the Blood Shadow, after all; when the Blood Shadow presented her with that declaration paper, he didn't say a single word.

  The old lady didn't even ask who wrote this, in her heart, Bai Xinzhi was just a good-for-nothing, how could a good-for-nothing possibly recognize and write characters?

  So she obviously harbored hatred towards Xue Ying.

  Outside the Grand Gate of the Imperial Palace

  The maid of the Ji family saw Mrs. Ji coming out with a furious face and hurriedly went forward to ask: "Madam, what happened?"

  The old lady's face looked ugly as she shook her head. Such a humiliating thing, she naturally couldn't tell anyone else, otherwise if people knew that she was bullied by a maid from the Cheng Wang Fu, would she still have any prestige in her own mansion?

  She didn't speak when she saw her, so the maid asked again: "Madam, did you see Princess Cheng?"

  The old lady nodded slightly.

  As she got into the carriage to return home, Old Lady Ji suddenly asked her maid, Cui Zhu, who was sitting beside her: "Cui Zhu, you often go out on errands for me. Have you heard of any wise and virtuous people anywhere?"

  The maid called Cui Zhu turned her eyes and thought for a moment, then shook her head: "To answer the lady's question, Cui Zhu hasn't seen anyone who has gained great benefits, but it is said that in the capital city there is a famous immortal who can drive out ghosts and demons."

  "Oh?" The old lady's eyes lit up with interest as she stared at her, "Quickly tell me, where does that immortal live and what are his abilities?"

  Cui Zhu nodded: "Madam, I also heard this from the maid beside the second madam. It is said that the second madam's natal family has a nephew who was weak and sickly since childhood, and not long ago he almost died. Later, they invited this immortal to come, and the immortal told them that it was because of evil spirits at work. So, they set up an altar and held a ritual, and unexpectedly the second madam's nephew was lively and active the next day."

  "Is that really so effective?" Old Lady Ji's heart was excited, and the wrinkles on her old face deepened.

  Cui Zhu nodded firmly: "Madam, since it was said by the second madam herself, it must be true."

  The old lady was overjoyed and excited in her heart. It seemed that her grandson would be saved!

  Just now at the entrance of Cheng Wang Fu, she suddenly heard two maids talking. It is said that Cheng Wang Gong had been instructed by an immortal and told that his wife, Cheng Wang Fei, and her useless granddaughter could still recover normally. As long as a highly skilled person was found to exorcise the evil spirit, that useless thing would be transformed into a normal person.

  At present, Cheng Wangye's attitude towards the Ji family is neither cold nor hot, and she also has no grasp on whether Cheng Wangye will help her grandson escape this disaster.

  However, if she helps the Crown Prince find such a high-ranking person, as long as he is cured of that waste, the Crown Prince will owe the Qi family a favor. When it's time to save her son, it won't be difficult!

  This good news dispelled the anger of being driven out by others, and Old Lady Qi hurriedly returned to the Qi's residence and rushed to the side house of Madame Qi.

  ……

  University Scholar White Mansion

  He Lan had been sending people to keep an eye on the Ji family for some time now.

  After learning that Old Lady Ji was driven out by the maids of Prince Cheng's mansion, she even felt triumphant in her heart.

  But on the second day, when she heard that Lao Taitai had sent people to search for a high-ranking Taoist priest in the capital, she was puzzled and immediately sent someone to investigate the reason.

  Everyone knew that the Duke wanted to find a wise and virtuous person to cure his wife's illness. So, she quickly sent people to inquire about the whereabouts of such a person everywhere, and even took advantage of the power of the University Chancellor's mansion to secretly offer a reward: if anyone knew where the wise and virtuous person was, they would be rewarded with 500 taels of silver; if they could bring the wise and virtuous person back to the White Mansion, they would be rewarded with 1,000 taels of silver.

  For those lower-class people who only earn a few taels of silver as their monthly salary, this is undoubtedly a temptation like gold falling from the sky.

  Not to mention over a thousand taels, even if it's just a hundred taels of silver, that would be enough for them to spend their whole lives!

  Ji's family was looking for a high-ranking Taoist priest in a relatively low-key manner, all of which were carried out in secret.

  But as soon as the reward was announced, it immediately caused the servants in the White House to be excited and enthusiastic. The news of such a large reward spread quickly, and within two days, not only did everyone in the White House know that they were looking for a wise and virtuous person, but even the streets and alleys of the capital city began to buzz with the news.

  But after being passed around, the result became: The Wangfu was rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver, and a Taoist master was found to help the Wangfei drive away disasters and difficulties, turning her into a normal person.

  At that time, the capital was boiling because of this accomplished man. While praising the king's heavy emotions and righteousness in front of Cheng Wang Temple, it also made everyone worried -

  A great man of virtue, where are you after all?

  The most furious person upon learning of the leak was none other than Old Lady Ji.

  It was she who seized the initiative, and intended to use this high-ranking person to exchange for her grandson's life. Unexpectedly, the news leaked out, causing many people to come and compete with her for this high-ranking person.

  What annoyed and worried her the most was that even the second wife's natal family did not know where the benefactor had gone, it is said that the other party was traveling around the country and passed through the capital, and suddenly had a kind heart to save the second wife's nephew.

  Where can they go to find someone as elusive as him?

  At the same time that rumors of the Wang Fu's bounty spread throughout the streets, all those in the capital who claimed to be able to drive out demons and evil spirits disappeared overnight.

  Even fortune tellers who set up stalls on street corners can't be found anywhere.

  Outsiders have no idea why the Taoist priests and Daoist masters who usually boast about their great abilities are nowhere to be found, only those who disappeared know the reason for themselves.

  The Marquis's residence is different from other wealthy families, can ordinary people afford to offend them?

  Is that a place where ordinary Jianghu masters dare to fool around?

  Not to mention a reward of ten thousand taels of silver, even if they offered the entire Cheng Wang Fu in exchange, no one would dare go!

  Moreover, Princess Cheng has been diagnosed with a congenital disability since childhood. Even if you have a 100% guarantee of curing that congenital disease, you still need to have the guts to enter the Cheng Wang Fu.

  Moreover, no one can guarantee that they have a 100% chance of turning a deaf and mute disabled person into a normal one... If there is even the slightest mistake, let alone getting the reward money, it's still a question whether their head can be kept intact.

  ……

  The whole city is looking for a high-ranking Taoist priest. Even if Bai Xinzhu doesn't leave the house, he can still hear the private whispers of the lower officials in the mansion.

  When she heard the absurd reward, she burst out laughing and fell onto her bed, holding her stomach in pain, shouting that it hurt so much that she almost scared a certain man to death.

  He pressed her down, saw that she was laughing so hard that tears were streaming out, and simply wrapped his arms around her, using one hand to press against her abdomen while staring at her with a cold face.

  "Alright! Give me a break! If you keep tormenting yourself and get sick again, don't blame your husband for not taking care of you!"

  Bai Xin wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes, her small shoulders shaking with laughter: "You still have the nerve to scold me, this is all your doing! Who told you to fabricate lies? Look now, everyone knows about it, I'd like to see how you get out of this one! Haha..."

  At this time, Yan Mo was at a loss for what to do with her, except to stare at her a few more times.

  She hasn't been feeling well these past few days, and he's been keeping a constant eye on her, watching over her day and night with worry. Seeing that she hadn't cried out in pain for the past two days, he finally let out a sigh of relief.

  It's unknown who the hell is spreading rumors in the name of the Wang Manor, making this woman so happy that she doesn't even care about her own body, and it's causing him to be on edge again.

  It's already the fourth day, her body is much cleaner than the first two days, but it's still not completely clean. He really fears that she will exhaust herself and get sick. If this continues for a few more days, can her body take it?

  Bai Xin has been in pain for the past few days, but it's a good fortune that she has never had before.

  Even the empress in the palace wouldn't get treated like this.

  Xingfu lay in bed for several days, and as for eating and drinking well, let's not mention it. Whatever nourishing things there were, she ate them all. Thousand-year-old ginseng, hundred-year-old lingzhi mushrooms, wild mountain yams... anyway, a certain man had spent a fortune on her.

  In terms of living, she didn't lift a finger, and all the household chores were taken care of by the man beside her. Sometimes Blood Shadow would also serve her, but only when Yan Mo was not around.

  She never thought that just being a maternal aunt would bring her such attention and care from men. Fortunately, only the people in the main courtyard knew about it; otherwise, if it got out, she would have been somewhat embarrassed for the men of her own family.

  In just a few short days, Bai Xing saw the overbearing side of the man beside her, and also saw his genuine care for her. And it was during these few days that she felt dependent on this man who held her in the palm of his hand for the first time...

  ……

  The story says that in the Imperial Palace of Pear Garden

  The rumors outside were also heard by Qiu Shi.

  Upon learning that the Cheng Wang Fu was going to offer a reward for inviting high-ranking Taoist priests, her first move was to summon the manager of the estate. When she heard from the manager that there was no such plan in the works at the Cheng Wang Fu, she finally let out a sigh of relief. After sending the manager away, she remained in her room with a worried expression.

  In the entire capital city, perhaps she is the one who least hopes that Bai Xin can recover normally.

  For Qiu, Bai Xindye's current status in her son's heart is far higher than hers as a mother. Out of envy and jealousy, she can't wait for Bai Xindye to remain foolish forever.

  Not to mention other reasons, I don't want Bai Xin to recover normally anymore.

  The son is now infatuated with a fool and a good-for-nothing, if the fool becomes normal, can her position remain stable?

  Especially when she thought that Bai Xinzhu might be against her, and even had the possibility of destroying her own plan. She couldn't calm down in her heart.

  After pondering in the room for half a day, she called someone to go to the side house and bring Concubine Lirong to her own courtyard. She gave serious instructions for a few sentences, then took Lirong to the main house.
