Jiang Yanwan had expended a lot of energy after finishing the acupuncture.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead with her hand and felt dizzy.

She knew that her physical condition was not optimistic, but in order to cure Liu Mengli, she had to continue to persevere.

"Governor Wu, I need some medicinal herbs and warm water." Jiang Yanwan said weakly.

Wu Junyao immediately waved his hand to signal the guards to get ready.

He looked at Jiang Yanwan, who was sweating profusely, and a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.

"Doctor Jiang, if you are not feeling well, you can take a rest."

"No need. Miss Liu's condition is very serious. I have to deal with it as soon as possible." Jiang Yanwan forced herself to stand up and continued to prepare the medicine.

Time passed during the intense treatment. Jiang Yanwan almost exhausted all her strength and finally completed the treatment. She watched Liu Mengli's face gradually regain its color and breathed a sigh of relief. But then, she felt faint, her eyes went dark, and she fell to the ground.

Wu Junyao quickly caught her and ordered, "Someone! Send Doctor Jiang to her room and take good care of her!"

……

When Jiang Yanwan woke up, she found herself lying on a soft bed, with sunlight shining on her face through the window. She reluctantly got up and saw a little maid taking care of her.

"Doctor Jiang, you're awake!" the little maid said in surprise, "You were unconscious for the whole night, you really scared us."

Jiang Yanwan stroked her forehead, her head still feeling heavy, "What time is it now?"

"It's already noon. Lord Wu has been worried about you and has specifically asked me to take good care of you."

Jiang Yanwan nodded, sorted out her thoughts, then got up, changed her clothes, and decided to go find Wu Junyao.

After walking out of the room, she headed towards Wu Junyao's study. When she arrived at the door of the study, she was stunned by the unexpected scene inside the study.

Liu Mengli was holding a small bottle with a poisonous insect in it. She poured the poisonous insect in the bottle into her palm, sneered, and then crushed it. This scene completely overturned Jiang Yanwan's impression of Liu Mengli.

Jiang Yanwan was speechless for a moment, feeling only a surge of anger brewing in her chest. She strode into the study, staring at Liu Mengli with burning eyes.

"Liu Mengli, what are you doing?" she asked coldly.

Liu Mengli was startled and the broken poisonous insect in her hand fell to the ground.

She looked at Jiang Yanwan and showed a pitiful look again, "Doctor Jiang, I just... just want to see what this thing is."

Jiang Yanwan's doubts grew even stronger, and she was about to continue questioning when she suddenly heard footsteps outside the door. She turned around and saw Wu Junyao had already walked in.

"What happened?" Wu Junyao asked with a frown, his eyes wandering between the two of them.

Liu Mengli rushed over quickly, her voice soft and delicate, "Lord Wu, you're here at the right time. Doctor Jiang seems to have misunderstood me. Look." She took out an identical small bottle from her arms, which contained a new poisonous insect.

Jiang Yanwan took a step back in shock and pointed at the fragments on the ground, "You are lying! I saw you crush the poisonous insect with my own eyes!"

Wu Junyao frowned, looked at the fragments on the ground, then looked at the small bottle in Liu Mengli's hand, his expression became complicated. He walked to Liu Mengli and said softly, "Miss Mengli, don't be afraid, let me see."

Liu Mengli obediently handed over the vial and said tearfully, "Sir Wu, Doctor Jiang may be too tired and made a mistake."

Jiang Yanwan was furious, but she couldn't produce more evidence. Seeing Wu Junyao's doubtful expression, she knew that it would be disadvantageous to her if things continued to stalemate like this, so she tried her best to calm down and said coldly: "Master Wu, please believe in my medical skills and judgment. There is definitely something wrong with this woman."

Wu Junyao was obviously in a dilemma. On the one hand, he trusted Jiang Yanwan's medical skills and character, but on the other hand, Liu Mengli's condition seemed to be certain. He was silent for a while before he slowly said, "Doctor Jiang, I understand your concerns. Miss Mengli still needs treatment for the time being. It's better to calm down first and then make plans."

Liu Mengli nodded immediately after hearing this, but a hint of pride flashed in her eyes. Jiang Yanwan felt this subtle change and became more certain of her suspicion, but the situation before her prevented her from getting angry.

Seeing that neither of them had any objection, Wu Junyao signaled the guards to clean up the debris on the ground and said, "That's all for today. Everyone needs to rest. If Doctor Jiang finds anything, please come and let me know at any time."

Jiang Yanwan was still furious, but she could only force herself to nod and leave.

She walked out of the study, her heart full of doubts and resentment. This was clearly a trap, but why couldn't Wu Junyao see it clearly? What was Liu Mengli's purpose?

At night, Jiang Yanwan tossed and turned, thinking about what happened during the day, and couldn't fall asleep.

The next morning, she decided to investigate Liu Mengli's background, hoping to find some clues.

She quietly came to Liu Mengli's residence and began searching everywhere under the pretext of inspection.

Not long after, she found an inconspicuous booklet in a corner of the room. When she opened it, she found a detailed record of poisonous insects. Jiang Yanwan's heart sank, and she was even more certain that Liu Mengli had bad intentions.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. "Doctor Jiang, it's me, Wu Junyao, please open the door."

Jiang Yanwan was stunned for a moment, quickly hid the booklet in her sleeve, then took a deep breath and went to open the door.

Wu Junyao stood outside the door with a calm expression.

He nodded slightly, "Doctor Jiang, let me check on Miss Mengli's condition."

Jiang Yanwan suppressed her doubts and anger, made way for her, and said, "Please come in."

Wu Junyao walked into the room and saw Liu Mengli sitting by the bed as if nothing had happened, looking well-behaved and sickly. He smiled and said, "Miss Mengli, thank you Doctor Jiang for your concern."

Liu Mengli's eyes moved as she said softly, "Master Wu, you are too polite. It is because of Doctor Jiang's dedication that I was able to recover."

Jiang Yanwan watched coldly and suddenly broke the warm scene by saying, "Commander Wu, Miss Liu's condition is important, but I have something more urgent to discuss with you."

Wu Junyao was slightly startled, nodded to signal Liu Mengli to stay calm, then walked out of the room with Jiang Yanwan and came to his own room.

Jiang Yanwan took a deep breath and handed him the booklet in her hand, "Take a look for yourself, what is this."

Wu Junyao took the booklet, flipped through it briefly, and frowned, "This... This is a record about poisonous insects. Doctor Jiang, where did you find it?"

"It's in Liu Mengli's room." Jiang Yanwan said coldly, "General Wu, Liu Mengli is definitely not a good person. She may be planning something."

Wu Junyao was silent for a while before he slowly said, "I understand your concern, but maybe this is something she collected before, and she has studied it for some reason."

"Don't you understand yet?" Jiang Yanwan raised her voice, "Her action of crushing the insect just now was definitely not accidental!"

Wu Junyao looked at Jiang Yanwan and said, "Doctor Jiang, I believe in your medical skills and judgment, but Miss Mengli does need more care and healing. Maybe she has her own unspeakable secrets, so please be more considerate."

Jiang Yanwan was so angry that she was shaking. "A secret? She clearly has ulterior motives! Governor Wu, you are willing to be deceived by her, but I can't just sit back and watch!"

Wu Junyao sighed helplessly, "I will secretly investigate her situation, but please don't be too anxious about it. Her recovery is more important than anything else."

Jiang Yanwan sneered, turned around and pushed open the door, leaving Wu Junyao outside. "General Wu, please go in. I'm tired and don't want to hear you speak well of her anymore!"

Wu Junyao was stunned for a moment, then sighed helplessly and turned away. He knew that Jiang Yanwan had a strong personality, so he could only wait until she calmed down before making any plans.

Jiang Yanwan closed the door and leaned against it, feeling exhausted. She knew she could no longer rely on Wu Junyao's help and had to find out Liu Mengli's secret on her own.
