Song Ruoan looked at him with teary eyes, "Really? My husband!"

"You didn't see how smug Song Xizhi looked just now! I really can't swallow this!"

He Yunze nodded, and a plan came to mind: "I've thought of a way to quickly ruin the Su family's reputation!"

The Su family was Song Xizhi's maternal grandfather's family. Since his family had fallen into disgrace, Song Ruoan was naturally happy to see it happen.

"Husband, do you have any ideas?"

He Yunze recalled Song Xizhi's face and smiled coldly: "Isn't your mother a concubine's daughter of the Zhao family? You can ask Prince Yu to say a word for me in court. Just one word will be enough!"

Prince Yu's mother was originally just the legitimate daughter of a minor official of the fifth rank, but she was fortunate enough to give birth to Prince Yu after the case of the late Empress.

As a result, when one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs rise to heaven. Zhao's father was promoted several ranks and became the Minister of Rites. Now, the Zhao family is extremely influential.

Zhao Qianlan was a concubine's daughter from a collateral branch of the Zhao family, and could barely be connected to the lineage of Prince Yu.

"But my mother doesn't have much influence in the clan..."

He Yunze shook his head. "If it's not very important, Prince Yu only needs to mention it in court five days from now: when will Lord Su, the Left Advisor, recover from his illness? This position is crucial and cannot be left vacant for too long."

"Four days from now is Su Mingli's death day. Before that, I will send people to spread rumors that Su Mingli is about to die. When the court investigates, they will be able to convict the Su family of deceiving the emperor."

Wasn't Song Xizhi deliberately trying to make things difficult for him?

Then he would make Song Xizhi lose more than he gained by trying to steal a chicken!

Upon hearing this, Song Ruoan nodded happily: "It's just a matter of getting His Highness Prince Yu to say a word, that's not difficult at all!"

"If we can truly use this incident to punish the Su family for deceiving the emperor, that would be wonderful!"

He Yunze nodded firmly: "This matter is flawless and will definitely succeed. I can't think of any reason why it would fail."

That evening, A-Lian secretly brought the news to Song Xizhi.

The reason Song Xizhi made her change her clothes and sell herself in a different place was because he saw that A-Lian's face looked somewhat similar to Xia He's, and he knew that Song Ruo'an would definitely buy A-Lian.

A-Lian had a very good memory and recounted the entire conversation between He Yunze and Song Ruoan.

Song Xizhi wanted to laugh when he heard this.

"Flawless... He Yunze is quite capable to come up with this idea. A-Lian, can you follow the clues and find all the people He Yunze sent to spread rumors?"

A-Lian nodded, the candlelight reflecting in her clear black and white eyes, which held a stubborn resilience.

"Yes, this servant can do it."

Song Xizhi nodded in satisfaction and smiled at her: "Find it, then keep an eye on it, and hold back for now."

“Your sister will be better soon. My maternal grandparents’ family are all easy-going people. If you’re worried, I can arrange for you to secretly visit her.”

But A-Lian refused; she knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Song Xizhi.

"Thank you so much, my benefactor. I'm so glad to know that my sister is alright. If I were to go and visit her, it would only cause more trouble and lead to endless problems."

Upon hearing this, Song Xizhi's gaze softened even more.

Although they were enemies in their past lives, and their feud lasted until death, she always admired her.

Ah Lian can be more than just a sharp knife; she can actually climb higher, high enough to control her own and others' destinies, rather than just being a handy object.

As Song Xizhi was thinking, he heard A-Lian's low, hoarse voice continue: "Not only that, Song Ruo'an also did something else behind He Yunce's back."

"Oh?" Song Xizhi raised an eyebrow.

"She is searching everywhere for renowned doctors, hoping to cure He Yunce's... erectile dysfunction. Song Ruoan's feelings for him are not as good as they appear on the surface."

Upon hearing this news, Song Xizhi laughed for a long time before finally stopping.

"It's more than just bad. Song Ruo'an is incredibly ambitious, and right now she's probably so angry that she can't sleep at night."

As Song Xizhi spoke, he suddenly thought of a perfect candidate: "I've searched high and low, but haven't I found a renowned physician in the capital?"

"You subtly guide Song Ruoan to find him. Don't be fooled by how difficult it is to invite him. As long as you spend a lot of money and bring good wine, this legendary doctor will agree to treat your illness."

A-Lian hesitated upon hearing this: "Do we really want that renowned physician Qi Huang to cure He Yun Ce?"

"Should I tamper with it a little?"

Song Xizhi waved his hand: "Do I look like such a good person?"

"There's no need to do anything; that legendary doctor is the biggest problem."

Ah Lian secretly returned to Guanyunxuan, and the next day she subtly brought up the legendary physician Qihuang.

Upon hearing that the legendary doctor Qi Huang was a miracle worker who could cure diseases with his miraculous skills, Song Ruoan's eyes lit up.

“I have a close friend whose husband is somewhat incapable. If we could really find such a miraculous doctor, my friend would be overjoyed.”

A-Lian touched her nose and didn't say anything, then heard Song Ruoan continue hesitantly.

"I have also heard of the name of the Divine Physician Qihuang, but he is extremely difficult to invite. It is not something that can be done just by spending money."

Upon hearing this, A-Lian timidly lowered her head and did not reply.

But Song Ruoan was restless: "No, A-Lian, I'll take fifty taels of silver from my dowry. Use this silver to find out the preferences of this divine doctor Qihuang."

Ah Lian went out for a walk, put the silver back into her purse, and then said:

"Reporting to Madam, I have already found out that in order to invite this divine physician for a consultation, in addition to preparing a large amount of silver, we also need to bring several jars of fine wine."

Song Ruoan then slammed her hand on the table, her eyes shining brightly:

"Very well! Then spend one hundred taels to buy me several jars of fine wine. I want to personally pay my respects to this renowned physician!"

Pretending to be herself every night and acting alongside He Yunze has already left Song Ruoan feeling exhausted. If He Yunze's illness isn't cured soon, she won't be able to keep up the act any longer!
