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

Chapter 140 Fortunately, there is still hope.
Bai Wanqing saw Pan Hu's changing expression clearly.

"Fengniang, help him to bed first, I'll check his injuries!"

Fengniang helped Pan Hu to the bed, and because she was afraid that Pan Hu would hurt the lady, Fengniang held the boy's hand tightly.

Bai Wanqing lifted Pan Hu's clothes, revealing a large footprint on his chest. Bai Wanqing touched it, and Pan Hu winced in pain.

Feng Niang then saw the footprints on Pan Hu's chest. What incredible footwork! Feng Niang looked at Bai Wanqing with concern.

"Don't worry, although the injury looks scary, Lord Lin is still careful and didn't break his ribs."

Feng Niang naturally believed Bai Wanqing's words and nodded with tears in her eyes.

After examining the wound on Pan Hu's chest, she wanted to check his head, but Pan Hu cautiously moved his head further in, causing Bai Wanqing to stop.

Fengniang was anxious when she saw that Pan Hu was unwilling to see a doctor. She reached out to hit him again, but Bai Wanqing persuaded her to stop.

“Fengniang, he’s no longer a child of eleven or twelve. He has his own sense of right and wrong now.”

Fengniang withdrew her hand and looked anxiously at Bai Wanqing.

Bai Wanqing smiled slightly. Feng Niang was just worried and confused. The calm Feng Niang she knew was the one she knew.

Bai Wanqing nodded gently to Feng Niang, telling her not to worry, then turned to look at Pan Hu, who was expressionless at the moment.

"My grandmaster can cure the poison in your body."

Pan Hu's eyes twitched slightly, but his expression remained unchanged.

"As a suicide squad member, I can ensure your identity remains undetected!"

"In other words, I can protect you from being hunted down by them."

This time, Pan Hu frowned and looked at Bai Wanqing in disbelief.

"You don't believe me?" Bai Wanqing asked, looking into Pan Hu's eyes.

Pan Hu naturally didn't believe it. He had trusted others before, but what happened? He was taken to a dark and gloomy prison where they kept forcing him to kill people. If he didn't kill or resisted, he would be beaten half to death.

In his eyes, he could only live if he obeyed, followed orders, and completed the Lord's tasks as required.

Pan Hu closed his eyes upon thinking this, clearly stating his stance.

Bai Wanqing, however, was not in a hurry. "Didn't you notice that none of your companions are here?"

"Today I can conceal you from your companions, and tomorrow I can give you a completely new identity, if you are willing."

Pan Hu then realized that he had not been in the cell since he woke up, nor had he heard any of his other companions' movements.

Pan Hu opened his eyes again and looked at Bai Wanqing thoughtfully.

"I never imagined you would go to such lengths to get a confession from me?"

"This is indeed a very novel interrogation method."

Pan Hu still didn't believe it; he never believed that he could ever stop being a suicide soldier.

"It doesn't matter if you don't believe me. Time will tell. I'll show you whether I can protect you or not." Bai Wanqing smiled lightly, speaking casually.

The hope that had died in Pan Hu's heart seemed to have returned. He stared blankly at Bai Wanqing, "Fine! I'll just watch."

"Alright, then don't move around. Listen to your mother. I'll come see you again tomorrow."

After Bai Wanqing finished speaking, she got up to leave. Fengniang wanted to chase after her, but she was afraid that Pan Hu would not listen. She tried to loosen her grip and found that Pan Hu really did not move. She turned around and followed Bai Wanqing out of the house.

"Madam, thank you so much this time." Feng Niang bowed deeply to Bai Wanqing.

Bai Wanqing turned around and looked at Fengniang, saying, "Fengniang, actually I also have my own selfish motives."

Feng Niang looked up in surprise.

Bai Wanqing smiled and then quickly went back into the house.

Her selfish motive was simply to put Fengniang at ease, just like her mother. If she could find her younger brother, wouldn't she also feel at ease?
Bai Wanqing felt sad when she thought of her younger brother.

If her younger brother had been rescued, he wouldn't have drowned, and her mother wouldn't have become depressed.

Then she might still be a child with a mother.

When Lin Yunche returned, it was already late at night. Bai Wanqing was still researching ways to detoxify and had not gone to sleep.

"It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?" Lin Yunche was taken aback when he opened the door and saw Bai Wanqing reading a book.

Lin Yunche was somewhat pleased, wondering if she was waiting for him.

Bai Wanqing raised her head groggily, "The poison in Pan Hu's body is difficult to cure. If he doesn't take the antidote within five days, his life may be in danger. I want to study it more carefully."

Lin Yunche: I feel like I was just being delusional.

"So how's the research going?" Lin Yunche asked.

“Actually, there is already a solution, but it is very harmful to the human body. I plan to discuss with Master Luo tomorrow how to strengthen the body’s foundation, so that we can minimize the damage.” Bai Wanqing was excited at this moment, her eyes shining.

"Oh! Is there anything I can help you with?"

Bai Wanqing shook her head before looking up and seeing Lin Yunche looking somewhat disappointed.

She had never seen Lin Yunche so dejected. "Did something happen in the county jail?"

Lin Yunche sighed, gritted his teeth and nodded, "Yes! These assassins are indeed assassins; they regained their senses as soon as they were locked up in the prison."

"The constables didn't even have time to react before they all bit off poison and committed suicide." "Was anything found on the bodies?" Bai Wanqing asked again.

Lin Yunche shook his head. "Besides being covered in wounds, there's nothing else!"

After thinking about Pan Hu's situation, Bai Wanqing understood that Pan Hu was probably their only breakthrough if they wanted to accuse the Fang family.

"How is Pan Hu? Has he caused any more trouble?" Lin Yunche was extremely glad that he had agreed to Bai Wanqing's request.

Otherwise, their entire plan would probably fall through.

"Yes! He still doesn't believe he can live and is determined to die."

"What about his memories? Is there any way to restore them?"

Bai Wanqing shook her head. "I don't know. Tomorrow I will have Master Luo and I take a look together. If possible, we will try our best to help him regain his memory."

Lin Yunche nodded, "But there's no need to rush this matter."

"I've already had the news from the prison released. Pan Hu's identity has been concealed again, so the other side probably doesn't know that any assassins have survived."

"Pan Hu's safety can be guaranteed."

Bai Wanqing felt relieved, and Lin Yunche found her expression somewhat amusing.

"Did you make another promise to them?" Lin Yunche asked.

Bai Wanqing smiled slightly and said, "If I want Pan Hu to talk, I have to give him some hope!"

Lin Yunche was not annoyed. "Madam is right. That's how it should be."

The two smiled slightly, washed up briefly, and went to bed.

Looking at the man beside her, whose breathing was even, Bai Wanqing felt a sense of peace she had never felt before.

He never seemed to refute himself.

She wanted to open a clinic, so he found a reason to do it himself. She wanted to save Pan Hu, and he was willing to do everything he could to keep it a secret, as if none of her requests were unreasonable, and he would do anything he could.

But they're clearly not a real couple!
Bai Wanqing felt quite lost, and she seemed to have a hypothesis in her mind.

If she had met him from the very beginning, would they have been happy?
Bai Wanqing fell asleep lost in thought, and when she woke up the next day, Lin Yunche had already left.

Fengniang got up early today and had already prepared breakfast before dawn.

"Fengniang, you've been working hard these past two days. You don't need to go through all this trouble. If you can't make it in time, you can go out and buy some things," Bai Wanqing instructed.

Fengniang was a little embarrassed. "Madam, I am the cook in our household. How can I go out to buy food for the master? If you spoil me like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to tolerate it when I go to someone else's house."

Bai Wanqing smiled, picked up a bowl of porridge, and slowly began to drink it.

Feng Niang would add porridge to Bai Wanqing's bowl one moment and side dishes to her the next.

Ruixin found it a bit strange, but after Master Luo sat down at the table, Fengniang continued to diligently add food to his plate, making Master Luo's belly swell up two sizes.

"I can't eat anymore, I can't eat anymore." Master Luo waved his hand at Feng Niang.

Bai Wanqing found it amusing. "Fengniang, don't worry, we said we would treat Pan Hu, and we will. You don't need to be so worried."

Fengniang pursed her lips, tears welling in her eyes, and nodded vigorously.

She now realizes that she wasn't so unlucky after all. Although she married an inconsiderate and gambling-addicted husband, the family she married into was actually very kind.

Not only did they help her find her son, but they also did their best to treat Pan Hu's illness. What did she do to deserve this?

Bai Wanqing had no idea that the usually carefree and unrestrained Feng Niang had such a deep mind.

After the meal, Bai Wanqing and Master Luo went straight to Feng Niang's room.

Pan Hu was quite docile at this moment. Although his hands and feet were still tied with ropes, he was no longer struggling.

"Grandmaster, why don't we check the poison in his body first?" Bai Wanqing said to Grandmaster Luo.

Master Luo glanced at Bai Wanqing, raised his hand and placed his fingers on Pan Hu's wrist, then slowly closed his eyes.

Feng Niang nervously swallowed, her eyes fixed on Doctor Luo's expression.

You must know that in this vast world, there are almost no people whose medical skills surpass those of Doctor Luo. If even he says he can't cure her...
Fengniang dared not think about it.

At this moment, Doctor Luo opened his eyes and gently stroked his beard. "I can cure it! I can cure it!"

Feng Niang was overjoyed, while Pan Hu slowly opened his eyes wide, his breathing becoming more rapid.

He actually had a chance to be cured?

"Qing, come out here. I'll tell you the prescription. I'm entrusting this person entirely to you."

Bai Wanqing glanced at Feng Niang, who nodded excitedly. Bai Wanqing then followed Master Luo out the door.

As the two walked a little further away, Master Luo's expression darkened.

"Qing girl, you've really tricked me this time! This person's poison has clearly seeped into their lungs and spleen, how can I cure them?"

Bai Wanqing smiled and said, "Grandmaster, you've forgotten, there's a method of fighting poison with poison."

Master Luo's expression was somewhat strange. No wonder he couldn't cure some of the poisons; it turned out that he himself wasn't poisonous enough.
