Zhong Songbai finished off the attacker:

"Don't try to muddy the waters. Just say you divorced your husband to marry Douya, or you'll go to jail!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, given your condition, I don't know if I can even give you a quick death!"

That's unlikely. Tang Zixuan, though quite wicked in this era, wouldn't warrant being given a peanut.

But at the very least, it's a decade, and who knows, it could be a lifetime commitment, and there will definitely be protests!

Tang Zixuan hadn't dared to think about it too much before, but now that Zhong Songbai had pointed it out, he shuddered and looked at Director Wei for help.

Director Wei nodded:

"You tell me yourself, what do you really think? Marry her or take her to the police station and let them investigate!"

It's really impossible to judge this kind of thing. Bean Sprout didn't say that anything actually happened between the two of them, but these days, even an attempted crime is a serious offense!

What's more, Tang Zixuan is already married!

Tang Zixuan wanted to shout that he would rather go to the police station, but he didn't dare!

Tang Zixuan looked to Xia Ning for help. Only Xia Ning could save him now. As long as the Xia family helped, this case could be overturned.

Xia Ning turned her head away. Tang Zixuan was innocent, but not entirely innocent.

If he doesn't see the woman clearly and takes advantage of Douya's feelings for her to order her around, she can't blame him.

In fact, Tang Zixuan has been like this since he was a child. The reason why only Xia Ning has stayed all these years is because the Xia family is the best among the people Tang Zixuan knows!

If you walk by the river often enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet. Tang Zixuan's shoes got wet time and time again, and he never learned his lesson.

Seeing that Xia Ning refused to help him, Tang Zixuan closed his eyes, clinging to his last glimmer of hope, and discussed it with Douya:

"Bean Sprout, as long as you explain things clearly to Director Wei and everyone else now, I'll recognize you as my sister, my mom will find you a job, and you can make any other requests you have!"

For a moment, the bean sprout was tempted, but upon further thought, it firmly shook its head.

"We're already in this situation, so I'll listen to Director Wei."

She would never budge. If her god-sister could get a job and other things, her biological daughter-in-law would definitely give her even more. She would never encounter a family like that again.

Moreover, Douya had her own ulterior motives; she changed her mind in case Tang Zixuan didn't want to do it!

Tang Zixuan's last hope was shattered, and he said in a hoarse voice:

"As you wish, I'll divorce my husband and marry you!"

At this moment, Bai Yueyao was tightly covered up while trading with someone on the black market:

"How much are the sleeping pills? I need a bottle!"

The control over this drug was not as strict in this era as it is in later times, but it was scarce!

At this point, some people who can't sleep are taking medicine; even if you have money, you shouldn't waste it like this!

The black market manager at the liaison shook his head:

"No, this medicine is too rare and difficult to obtain!"

Besides, he's afraid something might happen. He doesn't need to worry about such a big deal just to earn a pittance!

Bai Yueyao thought for a moment and then asked:

"What about anesthetic? Do you have general anesthesia?"

The black market manager laughed in exasperation. "Anesthesia? That stuff is in high demand in hospitals. If he could get his hands on that stuff, he wouldn't have to suffer this foreign torment."

Connector management is like swatting flies:

"Trying to fool me, huh? I don't have time for you, get lost!"

Bai Yueyao walked out in great disappointment. A man selling veterinary medicine had overheard their conversation. His eyes darted around, and he leaned close to Bai Yueyao and whispered:

"We have veterinary sleeping pills, would you like some?"
