Your Highness, your wife has had her virginity mark applied and married someone else.

When Shen Mingshu woke up, she was still lying in the same spot.

She stood up in shock, looking at the empty room, and belatedly realized—Wei Ziye hadn't come back all night?

"Ah, Miss Five, we are ready to go."

Liu Yi's shouts came from outside the door.

Shen Mingshu opened the door and saw that only she was there. Liu Yi curiously peeked in and asked, "Is Ah Ye still sleeping?"

He's not here.

Shen Mingshu glanced downstairs but didn't see Wei Ziye.

Liu Yiyi was bewildered: "Where is he?"

At this moment, the waiter stepped forward: "Young master, young lady, your companions are urging you two to hurry up and get on the carriage."

Shen Mingshu and Liu Yi exchanged a shocked glance and quickly ran towards the carriage.

Pushing open the door, both of them were taken aback to see Wei Ziye with his eyes closed and an impatient expression.

"You last night...?"

Before Liu Yi could even speak, Wei Ziye urged coldly, "Hurry up!"

"..."

It's normal for a man with unsatisfied desires to have a bad temper.

……

Qingyun Academy in the capital city.

"The young master led the fifth young lady out of the capital from the south of the city, heading towards the Medicine Valley where the second young lady of the Shen family, Shen Fu, is temporarily residing."

The guard knelt on the ground, waiting for a long time but received no reply from Wei Yuan.

He slightly raised his eyes to look, and saw that Wei Yuan was still holding the book, silently turning the pages.

The guards lowered their heads again, knowing they would not obey their master's orders.

After a long while, the sunlight moved, slanting eastward and westward.

The guard's legs trembled, and he fell to his knees with a thud.

Wei Yuan then turned his gaze away from the world depicted in the book.

"Light up."

His tone was calm and unreadable, but the guard was covered in cold sweat. He dared not delay, so he forced himself to stand up and took out a tinderbox to light the lamp.

"Step down."

The desk was illuminated by a warm yellow light.

Wei Yuan continued turning the pages of his book, calmly issuing commands.

This makes it seem like he doesn't care that Shen Mingshu was taken away by Wei Ziye, he doesn't care... it's a bit of a forced act.

The guards dared not linger, bowed, and staggered away.

"Thump." The book was finally put down with a light touch.

Wei Yuan leaned back in his chair, tilted his head back, and exhaled a long breath.

"Ming Shu—"

Two words escaped his throat, Wei Yuan rubbed his forehead, tilted his head back, and suddenly laughed.

You will eventually realize that I am the only one in this world who loves you.

……

Linyun Valley.

Looking at the endless mountain range, Liu Yi whispered, "Ah Ye, we've arrived."

Shen Mingshu was feeling drowsy when she heard this, so she immediately got up and opened the window to look out.

All I could see was green, endless green, lush and vibrant, but without a trace of life.

It makes people feel inexplicably uneasy.

Wei Ziye slowly opened his eyelids and saw Shen Mingshu looking gloomy.

"Dr. Liu, medicine and feng shui are intertwined; are you also skilled in geomancy?"

Liu Yi gazed at the mountains, his face also becoming solemn: "Fifth Miss's feeling was correct. Although this valley is all green at first glance, it also has different shades, and its shape is..."

Shen Mingshu said calmly, "A coffin."

"Yes!" Liu Yi looked at Shen Mingshu with surprise: "Fifth Miss is very perceptive."

Shen Mingshu twitched the corner of her mouth: "Prepare for yourself."

On the way from the medical clinic in the capital to Yuncheng, Shen Mingshu's wounds hurt so much that she thought countless times that she should buy a coffin and die.

Unfortunately, no one was willing to collect her body.

Liu Yi's smile froze. He glanced at Wei Ziye's angry expression and quickly said...

"Oh! Fifth Miss, don't worry. As long as the divine physician can describe your symptoms, my master can immediately prescribe the right medicine for you and ensure you live to be a hundred years old."

Shen Mingshu glanced at him sideways: "How come your master, who is so skilled, couldn't see my symptoms?"

"Well... everyone has their own area of ​​expertise, hehe."

This means that the divine doctor was good at studying the human body, while his master was good at studying medicine.

Shen Mingshu's expression instantly darkened—the two of them brought her here for the divine doctor to study.

"Are the three of you guests of the divine physician?"

A figure in white robes emerged from the valley, respectfully inviting, "Divine Physician, you have been waiting for a long time. Please follow me."

……

The valley is not very large.

Go up the small hill, and you can see all the rooms at the foot of the hill in one go.

The rooms were tightly shut, shrouded in a layer of miasma, making it impossible to see anything.

The young Taoist in white cupped his hands in greeting: "Please wait a moment in the room, I will go and call someone."

Liu Yi cupped his hands in thanks: "Thank you for your trouble."

He stared at the white-clad figure's retreating figure, his expression inquisitive: "How strange."

Shen Mingshu's brows furrowed slightly: "The two cupped-hand gestures were identical, and the expression on their faces was numb and unmoving."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Liu Yi exclaimed in delight, "Fifth Miss, you always manage to get straight to the point and answer my questions."

Shen Mingshu looked at him: "So, how do you plan to have the divine doctor study me?"

"So that's what Fifth Miss was worried about all along! It's a misunderstanding!" Liu Yi pulled Wei Ziye aside and explained, "Don't worry, Ziye brought me along to ensure that the Divine Doctor won't harm you recklessly."

Shen Mingshu asked, puzzled, "What if we can't get an answer through legitimate means?"

Liu Yi chuckled: "Then Ah Shi will take action."

"..." After trying to be polite first, the divine doctor managed to lure a piranha into his doorstep.

"Zi Ye."

Her voice was delicate and pitiful, coming from behind her.

Shen Mingshu's fingertips trembled violently, and her forehead instantly broke out in a dense sweat from the pain.

Wei Ziye and Liu Yi turned around to look.

With red eyes, Shen Fu threw herself into Wei Ziye's arms: "Ziye, I've missed you so much all these years."

Looking up, all that was visible was a beautiful, clean face, smooth and without a trace of the injuries she had sustained.

"You——" Wei Zi was stunned for a moment.

Liu Yi stared at Shen Fu's face in shock: "This... this miracle doctor actually has such a miraculous medicine?"

Shen Fuqian gently stroked her cheek with her delicate fingers, a bitter smile appearing on her pale face: "Day after day, we repeatedly repaired and endured until we were reborn."

Her brows seemed to be naturally tinged with sorrow. Looking at the person in front of her, her eyes were deep and tender: "But if I can see Ziye again with this face, all the suffering will be worth it."

Looking into the sincere innocence in her eyes, Wei Ziye opened his mouth, but in the end, he let out a sigh and gently patted her thin shoulder.

"I'm glad you're alright. What are your plans for the future?"

Shen Fu's brows furrowed with sorrow, and she weakly shook her head: "I don't know. I was already ashamed to face the world. It was the divine doctor who gave me hope for a second life, but... I still have no face to go home."

Shen Fu sobbed, "I have brought shame upon the family. I don't know how the family has been these past three years."

Wei Ziye and Liu Yi exchanged a glance, both seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

Three years ago, the Shen family truly suffered a devastating disaster.

And the culprit...

"Pfft—"

A mocking laugh suddenly broke through the somber atmosphere.

The three of them stared at Shen Mingshu's retreating figure.

Shen Fu's eyes instantly flashed with extreme hatred, and he clenched his fists tightly to maintain the sorrow on his face.

"Fifth sister really caused me so much suffering back then. Don't you still forgive me?"
