Shangguan Wanning returned home with a heavy heart. Looking back on what happened after her rebirth, she suddenly felt that what she had done was far from enough.
Apart from finding Lu Xiangzi and saving his mother, nothing seemed to have changed.
Except for the eldest uncle, all the people in the Yiyong Marquis's mansion died.
Shangguan Wanning's heart twitched violently. She remembered the dream she had when she was unconscious, and she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
"Miss, are you okay?"
Seeing Shangguan Wanning's pale face, Lutong was worried that her old illness might have relapsed, so she took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off her face.
"It's okay." Shangguan Wanning answered perfunctorily.
"Miss, let's go back and ask Elder Lu to take a look at you. You must have been frightened just now..."
Lu Tong said that she wanted to go back quickly, but the carriage stopped at this time.
She lifted the carriage curtain in anger and scolded the driver, "What's wrong with you? If you don't go back, you will delay the treatment of the young lady. Can you bear it?"
"Oh, Miss Lutong, it's not that I don't want to go faster, just look for yourself..."
As the driver spoke, he moved aside to allow Shangguan Wanning and Lutong to fully see the situation outside.
I saw that the front was surrounded by people, three layers inside and three layers outside. It was difficult to get through on foot, let alone a carriage.
From time to time, laughter could be heard from the crowd.
Shangguan Wanning was curious, so she got off the carriage with the help of Lutong and squeezed in with great difficulty.
I saw a big man about thirty-four or thirty-five with a red face standing there, with some things placed beside him. Next to a gong, a girl of about fourteen or fifteen was sleeping.
"How about it? Do you want to do it?"
Shangguan Wanning saw the young man dressed in silk and satin, smugly waving his folding fan, pointing at the pile of vomit on his body, smiling with ill intent.
"Lie on the ground, eat what I vomited, and crawl under my crotch. I will give you money and let you go to treat your sister. Otherwise..."
Shangguan Wanning looked at the little girl again. She looked very sick indeed.
The man and woman looked like father and daughter, but they were actually brother and sister. Judging from their appearance, they were probably traveling performers.
It's already pitiful enough, and yet he has to be bullied to this extent.
"Mr. Liu, why do you have to... go too far."
The man clenched his fists and stared at the young man surnamed Liu viciously.
The people around were whispering, all thinking that Mr. Liu was going too far.
"You're going too far? Who's bullying whom between us?" The young man surnamed Liu became furious and hit the man's head twice with his folding fan.
The man's eyes were fierce and his veins bulged, as if he would explode at any moment.
"Two days ago, you beat me up in a teahouse in the west of the city, and my arm still hurts. I will never let a grudge go unpunished. You are unlucky to have met me today. I tell you, if you don't do what I say today..."
The young master surnamed Liu snorted coldly. "Don't say you don't have money. Even if you do have money, no one in the entire capital dares to treat your sister's illness."
"This guy is so arrogant." Shangguan Wanning was a little angry. No matter what grudges they had before, they couldn't take human life lightly.
"Miss, don't you remember him? He is the second son of Mr. Liu, the censor of the Inspectorate."
After Lu Tong's reminder, Shangguan Wan Ning finally remembered. No wonder this person looked familiar. She had seen him once or twice before at the banquet at the Princess's residence.
"You...you've gone too far."
The man wanted to rush over, but was stopped by Master Liu's entourage.
"Two days ago, you flirted with a singing girl in a teahouse, so I taught you a lesson. You..."
"Do you really need to teach me a lesson? My father doesn't care about me." Young Master Liu had completely lost his patience and shouted, "Are you going to eat or not? If not... then wait for your sister's body to be collected."
The man was unwilling to give up, and looked around, as if asking for help.
But everyone who was caught by his eyes subconsciously stepped back.
We are all common people, and no one dares to offend the Censor of the Inspectorate.
The man was completely desperate.
He looked at his sister, feeling extremely unwilling and reluctant, but in the face of power, she had no choice but to compromise.
He slowly squatted down and closed his eyes in pain.
Young Master Liu laughed loudly, looking very excited.
"Wait."
A clear voice rang out among the crowd, and everyone's eyes fell on Shangguan Wanning.
At this time, Shangguan Wanning covered her face with a veil and slowly walked in front of the man.
"I can help heal your sister."
"you?"
The man looked at Shangguan Wanning, his eyes full of suspicion.
"Whose woman are you? How dare you meddle in my business?" Master Liu became furious when he saw his fun was ruined.
Lu Tong opened his arms to block Shangguan Wan Ning, and shouted angrily: "Who are you? How dare you call yourself my young lady's father?"
"Oh." It was the first time that Master Liu encountered such a tough maid. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to take action, but was stopped by the follower beside him.
"Second Master, you'd better be cautious. Look, the clothes this girl is wearing are very expensive. I'm afraid... she must be rich or noble."
The attendant's words reminded Master Liu, and he looked at Shangguan Wanning and her servant again. As expected, the noble temperament emanating from Shangguan Wanning was something that ordinary people could not possess.
Especially the way she dresses.
Apart from anything else, just the hairpin on her head is priceless.
Shangguan Wanning ignored everyone's curious looks, walked straight to the unconscious girl and took her pulse.
"Fortunately, it's not too serious."
After Shangguan Wanning finished speaking, she took out a few silver needles from her purse and inserted them into the little girl's acupuncture points.
It was too late for the man to stop it.
After a while, the little girl slowly opened her eyes and called out softly, "Brother..."
The man saw his sister wake up, and ran forward excitedly, holding her hand tightly. "Girl, don't be afraid, your brother is here."
Shangguan Wanning stood up as if relieved and looked at Master Liu. She walked up to him and said softly, "If you don't want to cause trouble for your father, you'd better get out right away."
"Why do you do that?" Young Master Liu had never suffered such a loss before, and his face turned pale.
"Just because..." A sharp light flashed in Shangguan Wanning's eyes, "My backer is stronger than yours."
"Really? I'd like to know who has your back."
"My father, Shangguan Yue."
Shangguan Wanning's voice was very soft, but loud enough for Master Liu to hear.
Master Liu's face suddenly changed and he couldn't help swallowing.
Prime Minister, he really can't afford to offend.
He did not dare to inquire whether Shangguan Wanning's identity was true or false. He bowed awkwardly and squeezed out of the crowd with his entourage.
