All-around doctor Rong Sheng, after being brought to ancient times by a system, was as busy as a spinning top treating illnesses.
She was too tired and wanted to go home to leisurely farm.
After Gu Beiyi and Rong Sheng left, Rong Dong'an and the others stared at Rong Yu and Han Tao, hoping that the two of them could give them an explanation as to when they had become involved with Gu Beiyi.
Rong Yu and Han Tao exchanged a helpless glance and briefly explained the situation to them. Although Gu Beiyi had identified them as his right and left hands, the things they did next were completely different, and the paths they took were also completely different.
Han Tao is a bit too young and entered the court at a young age, so he needs to be tempered. After the New Year, he will have to leave this warm home.
I'm afraid he might not be able to come back for his sister's wedding, because he'll be going to a place that's very far away.
After Gu Beiyi and Rong Sheng left the Rong family, they did not return to the Prince Yi's Mansion, but instead went to the Wuyinglou base in the capital to meet Lu Mian, an enemy from their previous life.
Lu Mian was in a terrible state, covered in blood and his face was deathly pale. He was chained, and the heavy chains held his hands and feet, making it impossible for him to escape.
As soon as Gu Beiyi and Rong Sheng entered the dark prison, they saw Lu Mian struggling unwillingly, trying to find a way to escape.
Gu Beiyi sneered: "Lu Mian, don't bother trying. This set of chains is specially prepared for remnants of the previous dynasty like you!"
Upon hearing the sound, Lu Mian immediately looked up towards the door: "Gu Beiyi!!"
He knew Gu Beiyi because he had met Gu Beiyi when he was very young, and his good mother, Lu Xuefan, often mentioned him to him. So even if Gu Beiyi turned to ashes, Lu Mian would still recognize him.
"Lu Mian, my...cousin! It's our first meeting, and you look quite disheveled!" Gu Beiyi mocked.
Lu Mian's face turned ugly: "It was you! You're the one who lured me here!"
"You only realize it now? Too late!" Gu Beiyi led Rong Sheng by the hand and stepped into the dark dungeon. "Don't worry, because you are my cousin, I won't kill you immediately! If I kill you now, your dear aunt will hate me to the bone. So, after your dear aunt comes here and you are reunited, I will give you a quick death!"
Lu Mian was shocked, but his mind cleared instantly: "You... you knew everything!"
"You should have known long ago, shouldn't you? I've been your stepping stone for so many years, and you've enjoyed so much benefit by stepping on my head. Shouldn't I retaliate? Besides, nothing stays hidden forever. How long do you think your plan can remain secret!"
Thinking of the immense pain they had caused him in his past life, and how he had watched Rong Sheng die in his arms, his face was filled with undisguised rage. He wished he could tear Lu Mian to pieces immediately, so that they too could taste the pain and despair of seeing their beloved die before their eyes.
Of course, they have no loved ones, so let them kill each other!
Then he beckoned and ordered someone to insert the Gu worm into Lu Mian's body to control him. Once Lu Mian was powerless to fight back and the Gu worm had completely taken control of him, he ordered someone to remove the chains from Lu Mian's body and then treat him to good food and drink.
Rong Sheng stood quietly to the side, watching Gu Beiyi take his revenge bit by bit. She had no memories of her past life and did not know how much pain Gu Beiyi had endured, but she knew from Gu Beiyi's dreams that Gu Beiyi's body, mind, and soul were all in pain, trapped in a dark swamp, unable to wake up.
Therefore, she did not stop Gu Beiyi from taking action against Lu Mian. She disliked Lu Mian from the first moment she saw him, always feeling that he was too ambitious and his eyes were full of malice, and she could tell at a glance that he was not a good person.
After Lu Mian calmed down, Gu Beiyi took Rong Sheng's hand and led her out of the dungeon and the Shadowless Tower, back to the Prince Yi's residence. After bathing and changing, they returned to their room. Gu Beiyi's handsome face was filled with a cold and hard expression, which made Rong Sheng feel very uncomfortable. She hugged Gu Beiyi's strong waist tightly with both hands: "I really can't remember the things from my past life, but Gu Beiyi, they are already in our grasp. Let's not let ourselves continue to sink into pain. Looking forward is the best thing to do!"
“Sheng Sheng…” Gu Beiyi’s handsome face softened instantly. He then grabbed Rong Sheng’s small hand and pulled her into his arms. Smelling the fragrance emanating from Rong Sheng, Gu Beiyi’s cold and stern heart calmed down: “Sheng Sheng, you’re right. The things of the past life have been avoided in this life, so we don’t need to dwell on the past! But as long as they don’t die, I will never be able to let go! So Sheng Sheng, you must never leave me! Never leave me for this lifetime, never leave me for all eternity.”
Rong Sheng said softly, "As long as you don't abandon me, I will never leave you!"
"We'll be together through life and death!"
"Yes, we'll be together through thick and thin!"
The next day was the first day of the Lunar New Year. Gu Beiyi was released from prison, and the people were relieved. They all went home to prepare for the New Year, and the streets were filled with the festive atmosphere.
This was Rong Sheng's first time celebrating the New Year in ancient times, so she thoroughly enjoyed the festive atmosphere. In modern society, although we celebrate the New Year every year, the feeling of the New Year is gone.
Since the Rong family is spending the New Year together in the capital, they can visit the Feng and Su families, and then go to Gu Beiyi's residence to offer New Year's greetings.
The entire Feng family already knows that the divine physician Rong Sheng is the daughter of Feng Sijin and Su Mei. Feng Sijin has already spread this news, and many family members have investigated and confirmed that Rong Sheng is indeed Feng Sijin's daughter.
So when Rong Sheng led the Rong family to the Feng family, Feng Sijin took the opportunity to have Rong Sheng acknowledge her ancestors and become the eldest daughter of the Feng family.
No one in the Feng family objected to this. If Rong Sheng were just an ordinary woman, she would definitely be ostracized by many people. But Rong Sheng is a divine doctor, even more powerful than the Valley Master. So no one objected. In addition, Feng Sijin said that after Rong Sheng returned to the clan, she would not compete with them for the Feng family's resources. Everything he had was enough to support himself and Rong Sheng.
Therefore, when Rong Sheng returned home, she received a warm welcome.
The news that Rong Sheng was Feng Sijin's daughter also spread. Prince Su even personally came to congratulate Feng Sijin on her return after finding her daughter. This news caused a huge stir and added another topic of conversation during the New Year.
Princess Yi is Rong Sheng!
Feng Sijin's daughter is Rong Sheng!
The most powerful doctor is Rong Sheng!
Everyone was convinced, but when they heard about Rong Sheng's past, they couldn't help but sigh. If Rong Sheng hadn't been strong, how could she have achieved so much and gained everyone's recognition?
The Emperor was even more interesting. After learning the news, he prepared a generous gift to congratulate Rong Sheng and the Feng family. It should be noted that the Feng family and the Emperor were not on good terms. The Emperor's sudden show of goodwill made the other families somewhat worried.
