After being forced to leave the marriage, I became the wife of a top scholar.

Chapter 139 My eyelids are twitching
When Master Luo saw Bai Wanqing running over, his eyelids twitched.

She and Zi Rou look so alike that Old Man Luo sometimes mistakes Bai Wanqing for Kou Zi Rou, just like now, when she rushed over to him, her first request being for the antidote.

Old Man Luo felt as if he were seeing Kou Zirou ten years ago, when she had caused trouble with poison and he was the one cleaning up her mess.

Old Man Luo sighed deeply, glancing sideways at Bai Wanqing and saying, "Didn't you just get your mother's poison formula? You've already poisoned the wrong person so quickly?"

Before Bai Wanqing could explain, Old Man Luo thought for a moment and said, "That's not right! I remember you made hallucinogenic powder before? That stuff doesn't need an antidote."

"They'll be fine on their own after two hours of madness."

Bai Wanqing smiled slightly, "It's not hallucinogenic powder, I just wanted to use your reputation to cure my addiction."

Old Luo snorted, "I knew it! I knew that your impulsiveness was never anything good!"

"Whose fame am I being asked to promote this time?!"

Bai Wanqing recounted to her grandmaster the story of their encounter with the Fang family on the official road outside the city.
Master Luo frowned and said with a serious expression, "From what you've said, the poison in their bodies is not simple! I'm afraid even I'm not confident I can remove or cure it. You can use my reputation to your advantage all you want, but I'm here to heal and save lives."

"But detoxification is not my forte, and it would ruin my reputation, so I won't do it."

Bai Wanqing smiled and said, "Grandmaster, actually I saw the poison in Pan Hu's body. Although it has been there for quite some time, it is not very potent. Perhaps those who raised them were afraid of damaging the foundation of their bodies and making them no longer effective, so the amount of poison was not very large."

"I am absolutely certain I can remove the poison from him, but if Fengniang knew that I was the one who could cure him, I'm afraid..."

Master Luo thought for a moment and understood, "You're afraid she'll leave with Pan Hu, and the two of them will live with the burden of a sin for the rest of their lives, right?"

Bai Wanqing immediately nodded, "Grandmaster is right. After all, if even I can cure the poison, Fengniang must think that others can too."

"But if it's your reputation, Grandmaster, it's different. The illnesses you can cure are not something that just anyone can cure."

Master Luo: He felt that this girl was initially belittling his poison skills, but then when she used them on him, she put on a pedestal of superb medical skills.

"Alright, I know what to do." Master Luo sighed, waved his hand at her, and gestured for her to leave.

Bai Wanqing thanked Master Luo and then went to Fengniang's room to check on Pan Hu's condition.

But before she even arrived, she heard the sounds of fighting coming from Feng Niang's room, which attracted Lin Yunche and Ruixin.

"What happened?" Ruixin asked worriedly, wanting to step forward but not daring to.

Lin Yunche and Bai Wanqing exchanged a glance. "It seems Pan Hu has woken up."

Lin Yunche was skilled and entered the house in a flash. Bai Wanqing was a little slower, but followed closely behind. Ruixin saw that the madam had gone in, and after thinking about it, she couldn't be so disloyal. After all, she had been receiving a lot of special treatment from Fengniang these days. So she stomped her feet and ran in as well.

Inside the house, Fengniang and Pan Hu were locked in a fierce battle.

While dodging Pan Hu's attacks, Feng Niang kept shouting, "Tiger, Tiger, open your tiger eyes and look! I'm your mother!"

But now Pan Hu was like a heartless killing machine. He stared fiercely at Feng Niang and slashed at her with each move.

At first, Feng Niang was able to dodge, but it seemed that the hallucinogenic powder in Pan Hu's body was becoming less and less effective, and his movements were becoming more and more fierce. Feng Niang quickly fell into a disadvantageous position, and Lin Yunche rushed up to help.

Bai Wanqing had seen the skills of these assassins before, so she wasn't too surprised. But Ruixin had never seen them before, and she stared wide-eyed with her mouth agape, her body trembling with fear.

"Madam, is this the kind of assassin you encountered today?" Ruixin asked, her voice trembling.

Bai Wanqing knew Ruixin was terrified, so she covered her eyes with one hand. "If you're scared, don't look. Why don't you go out first?"

Ruixin grabbed Bai Wanqing's arm and said, "Madam, Ruixin is not afraid. Ruixin will protect you."

He claimed he was protecting Bai Wanqing, but his eyes kept glancing towards Pan Hu.
Ugh! This damn curiosity.

Feng Niang was almost knocked away by Pan Hu when Lin Yunche stepped in and took the hit. Pan Hu was caught off guard and tried to strike with his other hand, but Lin Yunche reacted quickly and kicked the charging Pan Hu away with his right leg.

Pan Hu immediately fell to the ground, clutching his chest and letting out a muffled groan.

"Who are you?!"

Fearing that Hu Zi might offend Lord Lin and be dragged to the jail again, Feng Niang glared at him angrily and said, "Hu Zi, how could you talk to him like that?"

Pan Hu winced in pain, glancing at Feng Niang and then at Lin Yunche.

"Hmph! You wouldn't be saying this guy is my father, would you?!"

Lin Yunche almost lifted his foot again as soon as it landed, when Feng Niang walked over and slapped Pan Hu on the head, yelling, "Nonsense! What nonsense are you spouting!"

Pan Hu was somewhat dazed from the beating, but now his chest ached with every movement, and he couldn't run away. A look of despair and ruthlessness suddenly flashed in Pan Hu's eyes.

"Quick, stop him!" Bai Wanqing suddenly realized something and shouted. Feng Niang was caught off guard and stiffened, but Lin Yunche reacted quickly, grabbing Pan Hu's chin.
"There's a poison sac!" Lin Yunche pulled the poison sac out of Pan Hu's mouth, and Feng Niang was terrified when she saw it.

"Heavens! How can these people be so heartless! They made my son work for them, not only poisoning him but also sending him to his death at any moment!" Feng Niang said angrily, pulling Pan Hu into her arms.

Pan Hu tried to move, but the pain in his chest prevented him from breaking free from Feng Niang.

Lin Yunche, who had just stood up, suddenly turned around and exclaimed, "Oh no! The county jail!"

Bai Wanqing's expression also tightened, and she said urgently, "Husband, you should go quickly! Pan Hu is already injured, so Fengniang can keep an eye on him now. Don't worry about the family."

Lin Yunche glanced at Pan Hu, who was still sitting on the ground, then nodded to Bai Wanqing before hurriedly running to the yamen to find someone to relay the order.

Bai Wanqing walked up to Pan Hu, wanting to check his injuries, but Pan Hu was very agitated, and as soon as Bai Wanqing got close, he started to struggle again.

"Pan Hu, you're home!" Bai Wanqing said softly.

Pan Hu, who had been struggling frantically just moments before, suddenly fell silent and stared intently at Bai Wanqing.

Does he still have a home to return to? He's just an orphan without parents, a killing machine in the Lord's hands. How can he go home?
Pan Hu gave a cold snort.

Seeing this, Fengniang asked with some concern, "Madam, do you think Tiger doesn't remember anything because of the poison?"

Bai Wanqing shook her head, "No, the poison is only used to make them obey; it doesn't harm their bodies."

"How come Tiger doesn't remember anything? He doesn't even remember that I'm his mother." Fengniang felt a pang of sadness at this thought.

"It's all my fault. It's all my fault for believing his father's nonsense back then, which caused Tiger to suffer so many undeserved disasters. I'm so sorry to Tiger."

Fengniang hugged Pan Hu tightly and burst into tears. Pan Hu frowned, looking at the woman holding him in his arms without any expression.

Yes, he was just a killing machine; he had long forgotten what sadness or happiness was.
Bai Wanqing gently patted Fengniang's shoulder, "Fengniang, at least we've found the person now, things will get better from now on."

Bai Wanqing comforted Fengniang, then looked thoughtfully at Pan Hu.

Fengniang wiped her tears with her sleeve and nodded, saying, "What Madam says is true."

"Fengniang, although this person looks a lot like the portrait you gave me, are you sure he is Pan Hu?" Bai Wanqing said this to Pan Hu.

Pan Hu also pricked up his ears at this moment, and he thought to himself, these people must have come to the wrong place.

Fengniang immediately became excited, "Madam, how could I not recognize my own son? He is Pan Hu! Although I haven't seen him for several years, he is my son! I recognize him!"

Pan Hu slightly pursed his lips, clearly not believing Feng Niang's explanation.

"Do you remember if your son has any marks that others don't?" Bai Wanqing asked.

Fengniang slapped her forehead and said happily, "Yes, yes, my son has a fish-shaped birthmark on his buttocks."

After saying that, without waiting for Bai Wanqing to leave, Fengniang went straight to pull down Pan Hu's pants.

Pan Hu's previously calm expression suddenly twisted, and he began to struggle again.

"What are you doing!" Pan Hu almost roared.

But Fengniang didn't care about anything else at that moment. She had already pulled down half of Pan Hu's pants, exposing half of Pan Hu's buttocks to the two of them.

Pan Hu gritted his teeth, feeling extremely humiliated. He had never suffered such humiliation, not even in the Lord's intensive training camp.

Bai Wanqing turned her face slightly away, not looking.

Feng Niang breathed a sigh of relief, then shifted her gaze to Pan Hu's buttocks.

Knife wounds and whip marks covered almost the entire buttocks. Feng Niang's pupils constricted at first, but she quickly composed herself before looking over again.

Despite the injury, Pan Hu's birthmark was not small, and brown traces could still be seen intermittently.

"Madam, he has a birthmark, that's Tiger."

Bai Wanqing smiled slightly as she looked at Pan Hu's somewhat relenting expression.

Pan Hu had never known he had a birthmark on his buttocks, but the woman's expression didn't seem to be lying.

Is this woman really his mother?
A look of joy suddenly appeared on Pan Hu's face, but it quickly disappeared.

So what if he's his mother? So what if this is his home? Without the antidote, he'll die; if others discover he's left the organization, he'll still be killed.
For Pan Hu, this is a dead end, and since it's a dead end, it's best not to acknowledge each other.
