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

Chapter 179 If you don't believe me, you can't be saved.
The Prefectural Government Compound in Huaizhou City.

Ruixin received the letter from Bai Wanqing in the evening.

"Ruixin, is this a message from Madam?" Fengniang came out of the house. Although it was closer for her to go to the Ning family, she had been back for half a day.

There was still no news from the lady; she probably thought something had happened to her.

Ruixin nodded, holding the letter. "Madam said she'll be staying there tonight, so we don't need to worry."

"There is also a letter for Doctor Wang."

Fengniang was relieved. "Okay, then let's hurry and send it over to Doctor Wang."

"You should get some rest after you send it over."

Ruixin smiled and nodded, "Understood, Lady Feng."

Ruixin knocked on Doctor Wang's door. Doctor Wang was tossing and turning in bed about turning himself in at the yamen the next day. Suddenly, he received the note from Ruixin and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Madam Wang quickly stood up and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you suddenly laughing so happily?"

Doctor Wang handed the note to Madam Wang, who glanced at it and breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's just a matter of waiting. While it's not exactly great news, it's still good news for both of us."

Dr. Wang thought so too, and happily climbed into bed. Perhaps because he had been too tense these past two days, he fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.

Madam Wang looked at her husband with heartache and sighed softly.

"You really have found a great employer."

"We were fortunate to have encountered a good prefect."

The Lin family in Huaizhou was at peace, but the Liang family in Wanquan County had a chaotic night.

"Help, Help"

Liang Sheng was muttering to himself on the bed.

Madam Liang, who had come to her side, patted Liang Sheng's blanket and said, "Sheng'er! Don't be afraid, you've been rescued. We're at home now, so don't be afraid!"

But Liang Sheng's delirium continued unabated, and he kept coughing.

Madam Liang reached out and touched Liang Sheng's forehead; it was burning hot.

"Someone come here! My son has a fever! Quickly, go and fetch our benefactor!"

The servants dared not delay and immediately went to Bai Wanqing's room to call for help.

"My benefactor! My young master has a high fever, please come and take a look at him quickly."

Bai Wanqing heard the noise outside the door, put on her clothes, and came out.

"go!"

Without uttering a single unnecessary word, Bai Wanqing and her maids rushed to Liang Sheng's residence to check on his condition.

"Just as I expected!" Bai Wanqing sighed softly after taking her pulse.

As expected? Madam Liang felt a chill in her heart and a sense of unease.

"Didn't you give the medicine that Dr. Liu prescribed to Young Master Liang?" Bai Wanqing's tone was clearly accusatory, and one could hear a hint of annoyance in her voice.

Madam Liang hurriedly explained, "I drank it!"

"He only drank two sips, but he found it bitter, though he didn't feel unwell anywhere else."

"So we didn't pressure him."

Bai Wanqing stared intently at Madam Liang, causing Madam Liang's voice to grow softer and softer.

"Do you know that indulging him like this could cost him his life?"

Madam Liang bit her lip, "I also took a small sip."

Bai Wanqing stood up helplessly, "If that's the case, I'm afraid I can't save him."

Madam Liang was taken aback. She hadn't expected Bai Wanqing to say that. Didn't she have something to ask of the Liang family?

"My benefactor, it was our oversight just now. We didn't mean to. Please save my child."

Bai Wanqing shook her head, "I've already saved him twice."

“If you don’t trust me, why should I save you a third time?”

"Please have someone take me to fetch the horse, Madam Liang. I'll be leaving now."

Madam Liang was startled when she heard this, and just then, Master Liang also arrived.

As soon as he entered the door, he berated Madam Liang without saying a word, saying, "You are not loving your son, you are clearly harming him."

"If anything happens to Sheng'er, it's all because of your indulgence."

Madam Liang didn't dare to utter a word in rebuttal, fearing that Bai Wanqing would make a scene and leave.

After speaking to Madam Liang, Mr. Liang apologized to Bai Wanqing, saying, "Madam Lin, it was my wife's fault. Please don't take it to heart."

"Please take a look at my son's illness."

Bai Wanqing listened but did not move.

Master Liang was getting anxious. He had already planned that no matter what Bai Wanqing said tomorrow, he would send her away.

He also hated the Fang family, but his hatred didn't mean he would get involved in this matter.

But now he's facing a dilemma.

Now, if he goes to find a second doctor, Bai Wanqing will definitely leave.

The previous doctors couldn't diagnose the baby's problem, and if they still can't save him now, going back to Bai Wanqing will probably be of no use either.
Master Liang looked at Madam Liang and then at his son lying on the bed.

“My benefactor! I know you came to Chengjia Village because you have something to ask for! Since you saved Sheng’er, you are Sheng’er’s savior.”

"Our Liang family will repay you tenfold." Bai Wanqing turned her head slightly, glanced meaningfully at Master Liang, but still did not move.

"Master Liang, if you don't believe me, how can I save you?"

Master Liang was slightly taken aback; he felt that there was another meaning behind those words.

At this moment, he looked up and met Bai Wanqing's gaze. His back stiffened. Bai Wanqing's eyes were calm, as if she knew everything. She was quietly watching him, waiting for him to make his final choice.

"We believe you! We believe you!" Instead of his previous obsequious manner, Master Liang straightened his back and looked at Bai Wanqing with a serious expression.

Madam Liang had not seen her husband like this in a long time.

For some reason, her eyes suddenly reddened. For many years, the Liang family had been unable to stand up straight and speak properly.

It seems that the Liang family has become a veritable rural landlord family.

Bai Wanqing and Master Liang stared at each other for a while before Bai Wanqing turned around and walked to the bedside.

"Re-brew the medicine from the prescription, and find another set of acupuncture needles," Bai Wanqing's cold voice rang out.

"Quickly! Quickly! Do as our benefactor wishes!" Madam Liang hurriedly gave the order.

The Liang family was busy again in the middle of the night. Fortunately, the Liang family was originally a large family and had a family doctor in the past.

Finding a set of needles isn't difficult!
A moment later, the maid came in with silver needles and hot water.

Bai Wanqing disinfected the silver needles with hot water and white wine before administering the acupuncture to Liang Sheng.

Liang Sheng gradually quieted down and stopped shaking his head and muttering to himself.

Madam Liang silently touched Liang Sheng's face, "His fever has actually subsided."

Master Liang breathed a sigh of relief again, and now he admired the woman in front of him even more.

As expected of the daughter-in-law chosen by the Lin family, she has the same charm as Cui Yaoguang of the Cui family back then.

Bai Wanqing sat quietly by the bed, watching Liang Sheng's changes. She breathed a slight sigh of relief, finally managing not to embarrass her master.

The acupuncture lasted for half an hour. After half an hour, Bai Wanqing took out the needles one by one. Perhaps because she had been too focused, a thin layer of sweat covered her forehead.

"Madam, the medicine is here!" A maidservant came in carrying the freshly brewed medicine.

Looking at Liang Sheng, who was still fast asleep, Madam Liang casually said, "Let's put it down for now and let him drink it when he wakes up."

She had barely finished speaking when she noticed Bai Wanqing's slightly furrowed brows and immediately changed her words: "No, you shouldn't have asked me about this!"

"The doctor and your benefactor are right here, so naturally you should listen to your benefactor!"

"Ahem! It's a wonder you've been by my side for so many years, and you still don't have this much discernment."

The maid was a little confused by what she was told and looked up at Madam Liang.

Madam Liang blinked, and the maidservant quickly brought the medicine and asked Bai Wanqing.

"My benefactor, should I give you the medicine now?"

Bai Wanqing softly hummed in agreement. "Wake him up and give him his medicine."

Upon hearing this, the maid quietly went to wake Liang Sheng to drink his medicine, while Bai Wanqing stood up and bid farewell to Madam Liang and Master Liang.

“My benefactor, what about Mr. Liang?” Madam Liang also stood up and asked.

"It's alright! As long as you give him his medicine on time, he'll be fine." Bai Wanqing emphasized the importance of giving him his medicine on time.

Madam Liang immediately assured her, "I will definitely be there on time."

Bai Wanqing was sent back by a maidservant from Madam Liang's side.

Despite being busy all night, Bai Wanqing was full of energy. She couldn't help but recall the look in Master Liang's eyes when he looked at her earlier.

That look in her eyes didn't seem like that of someone who would willingly bow and scrape, fawning and flattering. How could she possibly let that despicable person from the Fang family bully her!
Bai Wanqing touched the handbook in her arms. In any case, Master Liang's attitude just now would make her negotiations tomorrow easier.

I wonder where Lin Yunche is now! Has he gone home?

Lin Yunche had already ridden his horse back to the outskirts of Huaizhou City at top speed, but he did not see his uncle Lin.

"Didn't we agree to wait here?" Lin Yunche dismounted and searched the trees around the city. Finally, he found the unique mark of Lin Family Village on the fifth tree.

Uncle Lin has indeed arrived here, but why can we only see the markers and not him?

As Lin Yunche was thinking this, his fingers touched a warm liquid.

He slightly raised his hand, and there was a strong smell of blood.

Lin Yunche suddenly looked up and saw what appeared to be a person hanging from the tree.

With a buzzing sound, his mind went blank for a moment, and then he lightly jumped onto the tree branch where the person was hanging.

He took a deep breath, slowly reached out, and flipped the person on the branch over.

"They're suicide squad members!"

"The body of this assassin is not yet cold, so it seems that he has not been dead for long."

Could it be that Uncle Lin has been discovered by the Prince of Huai?
Lin Yunche ignored the assassins in the tree and jumped down, then began to search around the tree.

There were three corpses of assassins hanging in the trees nearby, and they all looked like they had just died.

He looked in the direction where these assassins were distributed, and the further south he went, the farther away the bodies of the assassins were hanging.

Lin Yunche remounted his horse and rode straight south of Huaizhou.

There wasn't a soul in sight along the way until he turned off the main road and entered a mountain, where he could vaguely hear noises coming from the mountain.

He hid the horse in a bush and then quietly moved toward the source of the noise.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" A powerful voice echoed from the mountaintop.
