Forcing me to become a concubine? Remarrying the Ninth Prince, she'll be pregnant all over the

What are your plans?

It was rare for Wei Wujiu to ask such direct questions, almost as if he were digging for answers.

Lin Wantang paused, her movements slowing, but her expression remained somewhat strained: "Can we not talk about it for now?"

"No."

It's even rarer to see someone so assertive towards her, leaving no room for argument.

Lin Wantang fell silent immediately.

Wei Wujiu leaned back in his chair with his usual composure, stroking his chin as he scrutinized her: "You have someone you can use? You don't want me to know?"

"Neither..." Lin Wantang's voice was somewhat dry and uncertain.

The main issue is that she's still unsure whether that person can be used by her.

In her previous life, she was too foolish, letting countless opportunities slip by and missing out on many people who could have been helpful to her. This not only harmed herself but also implicated and caused harm to many others.

In this life, she wanted to turn the tide and do her best to make amends, but things hadn't been accomplished yet, and she didn't want to reveal her thoughts beforehand.

Fortunately, after examining her for a long time, Wei Wujiu gave up the idea of ​​continuing to ask questions. He simply said, "Never mind, I won't ask anymore."

"But there is a man named Wei Liu in Jingyuan Mansion. People usually call him Da Shun or Shunzi. He and Ye Ying are both my shadow guards and assassins."

The two had different roles, but were equally devoted to each other.

"If you need someone, you can use him with confidence."

As Wei Wujiu spoke, he moved to his feet, stretched his long arms, and added, "If that's not enough, then use Xia He and Dong Xue, plus Chun Hen and Qiu Ying by your side. All four of these girls are trustworthy."

Lin Wantang gradually came back to her senses from her daze. She looked at Wei Wujiu with mixed feelings. She didn't expect him to trust her so much and to entrust her with the people he was used to using.

Even though she knew that the two were already officially husband and wife, and that Wei Wujiu probably just didn't want her to be unreliable and cause trouble that would implicate him, Lin Wantang still felt a warm current in her heart and felt somewhat comforted.

After all, she had suffered too much in her previous life, and no one believed in her or helped her.

She walked alone for far too long, feeling utterly isolated and helpless...

She quickly turned her head away, trying her best to suppress the inappropriate tears welling up in her eyes, and nodded earnestly: "I understand, thank you."

Wei Wujiu had already strode towards the door of the private room. Hearing this, he didn't say anything, but opened the door and saw Zhang Qian limping in. He took a deep breath and asked very critically, "Will your leg ever heal?"

Zhang Qian choked for a moment, then replied very bluntly, "If it can get better, it's all your junior brother's fault for teasing and playing tricks on me time and time again."

Li Jinzhi had just bought a bag of fried yellow croakers from a shop outside. They were crispy and tender. He ate them one after another as he hopped upstairs, showing no trace of the dignified and composed demeanor of a Jinyiwei commander with a jade-faced demonic appearance.

"Why blame me? It's your leg that's lame, it's not like I gave you a discount."

"you!"

Zhang Qian's eyes widened in anger, eager to fight the man surnamed Li with force.

Lin Wantang stepped out of the private room at the opportune moment, chuckling as she listened to the two bickering. She then said, "Brother Zhang, I apologize for my negligence before. If you don't mind, could you come in and let me take a look at your leg?"

"Oh no! This is unacceptable!"

How could Zhang Qian dare to let Lin Wantang treat his leg injury? It's improper for men and women to be intimate like that!

Lin Wantang didn't try to persuade him, and instead turned to Wei Wujiu, asking, "Is it alright?"

Wei Wujiu didn't react much, but turned and went back to the private room, saying to Zhang Qian as he walked, "Come in."

Zhang Qian was so frightened that he felt awkward and uneasy as Wei Wujiu pressed him into a chair. Wei Wujiu then examined his sprained left leg and explained the situation to Lin Wantang, who was standing nearby.

Lin Wantang then asked Zhang Qian about the herbal decoction he had been taking recently, and said, "It's a prescription for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, which is fine, but..."

She didn't continue, her voice pausing for a moment. She leaned closer to Wei Wujiu, placing one hand on Zhang Qian's leg and guiding it slowly to the sprained area. "This leg is probably not in good shape."

Lin Wantang uttered a few more soft words, accompanied by Zhang Qian's astonishment and Wei Wujiu's confusion. Suddenly, taking advantage of their momentary lapse in attention, Lin Wantang exerted force on Wei Wujiu's hand, and with a clever pull, the dislocated bone cracked with a "crack." Zhang Qian's face turned pale with pain, and he almost cried out.

But after his cry of pain, Zhang Qian's face paled with astonishment. He moved his left leg, stood up, and walked around the area a few times, exclaiming in surprise, "This...this is actually healed? My leg is healed? This is amazing!"

It's not magical at all; it's just bone setting.

Lin Wantang studied medicine under her mentor from a young age, and was particularly skilled in dislocation and bone setting. However, she had no patients to treat, so she set bones for the cats, dogs, cattle, and horses in the mansion. Her skills were already highly proficient.

"It's good that Brother Zhang's leg is feeling better. I'm just a humble girl, and I've made a fool of myself with this."

Lin Wantang humbly clasped her hands in a salute, exchanged a glance with Wei Wujiu, and then left.

Zhang Qian stretched his legs and said again, "Brother... no, elder brother, she actually has such abilities. Her medical skills must be no less than those of the Imperial Medical Academy. She is truly an extraordinary woman."

Wei Wujiu leaned against the round table, raising an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this: "It's alright, I guess."

His words were casual, yet his delight was undeniable.

Zhang Qian walked over and said, "With her here, my elder brother's old ailment will surely be cured, and I can finally rest easy."

Wei Wujiu smiled slightly, and with a little internal force, he sensed that the flow through his lungs and the eight extraordinary meridians was indeed much smoother and more stable than before. Moreover, the cough that often accompanied him had long since disappeared without him even noticing.

It seems that the old ailment is showing signs of healing.

Lin Wantang's medical skills are truly remarkable.

The two did not linger in the private room for long. When they came out, they only bumped into Li Jinzhi, who was guarding the door. When they asked Lin Wantang, they learned that she had already left.

He went alone, saying he would return to the compound to meet up in the evening.

"I sent someone to follow them." Li Jinzhi mouthed the sentence again, implying that although four people had come to Ding County on the surface, there were actually secret guards following them closely.

Wei Wuji nodded slightly and left the teahouse with Zhang Qian and Li Jinzhi. The three of them stopped talking about important matters and, like spoiled young masters, wandered the streets and alleys, watched acrobatics, listened to storytelling, and spent money like water.

Wang Hu's men had been watching the three of them all the way, and another group was sent out to keep an eye on Lin Wantang. However, they were shaken off by Lin Wantang after only a few alleys.

So when Lin Wantang returned to the courtyard in the evening after sunset, no one knew where she had been or what she had done all day. When she went to the other hall with the steward and saw the three people again, she was stunned.

The hall was filled with the smell of cheap incense and tobacco pipes, mixed with alcohol. The table was a mess, and Wei Wujiu and his two companions were sitting in it, drunk and playing dice.

A burly man sitting next to Li Jinzhi, dressed in fine clothes, was also playing a drinking game with him, laughing heartily: "Good buddies! Sixes for good luck! Auspicious day! Haha! I won!"
