After rebirth, she became the favorite of the powerful minister.

As luck would have it, Master Xu was outside Luofeng Pavilion and heard all of Wang's crazy talk. His steps, which were so anxious that he wished he could grow another pair of wings, suddenly stopped and he stood behind Wang and lazily called out, "I just learned that this is how Madam calls me in private... I think if Madam meets the Patriarch of the Xu family, we should be able to get along well..."

The patriarch of the Xu family is naturally his biological father. When his biological father is extremely angry, he always calls him a rebellious son, but the old man is not wrong in that. Over the years, people who are familiar with Xu Chengjin feel that this kid is really doing this with the intention of bringing all nine members of the Xu family together to meet their ancestors.

Even though Wang was so angry that she almost lost her mind, she still felt a little uncomfortable for being caught speaking ill of the young man behind his back. However, she, a lady from a baron's mansion, could not bring herself to apologize to the son of a merchant, so she just stepped aside and said nothing with a calm face. The black-clad guard was very considerate and bowed his head quickly, "Mr. Xu, the young lady has been waiting for you for a long time, please go in quickly!"

Xu Chengjin nodded, stepped into the courtyard, paused, and said softly, "I don't mind what Madam says about me behind my back. After all, I am indeed the rebellious son of the Xu family... But if Madam wants Miss Wen to be buried with her, I'm afraid you don't have the final say. After all, Minister Wen is not a pushover. Don't you agree?"

Wang pursed her lips and said nothing. Nanny Sun only felt that the hand holding her arm was getting stronger and stronger, and it hurt even through the thick clothes.

Xu Chengjin pulled the corner of his mouth. The dead girl was getting more and more aggrieved now. Anyone would want to step on her. As Xu Chengjin walked in, he raised his voice and told the two black-clothed guards, "Guard well! Whether it's your parents or people in the palace, anyone who wants to come in, you can ask them if they dare to sign the military order. If anything happens to the master inside, they will be buried with him - I dare!"

The man in black was shocked, "Yes!"

At the door, Lin Mu looked at Xu Chengjin, hesitant to speak, "Master Xu..." He wanted to say that Master Xu was in real danger this time, and there was no need to issue such a military order. Even without these things, they would not let anyone in. But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back, and his face twisted into an old loofah that was forgotten to be picked during the autumn harvest.

Xu Chengjin pushed the door open and glanced at him sideways, "Throw away those mournful thoughts in your head. With her here, nothing will happen to your master!" When he said this, his eyes were cold and solemn, without a smile on his face, and he looked very reliable.

But... he's here? Who is "he"? Lin Mu glanced at the door that had closed again, and heard Xu Chengjin ask from inside, "How is it? Is it serious?"

"The external injuries are not bad, but the internal injuries are serious." Yuan Ge dropped the silver needle in his hand quickly, and explained without raising his head, "He shouldn't have used his internal force. I am suppressing it with acupuncture, but it is not a long-term solution. Now the prodigal son's snow lotus seeds can't wait any longer, so I can only find a way to rob them."

"I'll take care of this. At worst, I can tie up the prodigal son and go to the Qian family to exchange for snow lotus seeds." After taking his pulse, Xu Chengjin said, "You take care of acupuncture, and I take care of external injuries. I'll get the snow lotus seeds after he's stable outside the gates of hell... But Wang has already asked for the imperial physician, so I'm afraid the matter of detoxification can't be kept secret... If I'm not here by then, you can't deal with those old guys, and you'll put all the blame on me... Do you understand?"

After a long while, a low voice of agreement came from the room, "Yes."

Lin Mu stood at the door, vaguely feeling that the "she" that Master Xu left behind before entering the door had finally found the answer, but... He glanced at Yan Huo beside him, and couldn't help but whispered, "Young Madam's medical skills... aren't they just beginners?" But now it sounded like Master Xu was helping her? And what was... detoxification? The master's poison... wasn't even something Master Xu could detoxify?

Yan Huo looked at Lin Mu calmly, but he didn't say anything. At this point, how could he believe that the young lady was just a beginner? Who would dare to stop the imperial physician outside? Speaking of this, he remembered another thing. When the young lady just entered the mansion, she asked the master for a copybook and said she wanted to practice calligraphy. However, she had only practiced for a few days, but her writing style was like a reborn... Now, the copybook has been thrown aside and covered with dust. Maybe the young lady herself has forgotten it.

Looking at the young lady now... I'm afraid no one will remember what the original eldest lady of the Wen family looked like?

Acupuncture is an extremely mentally taxing technique, and Song Wenyuan had a lot of external and internal injuries. Even Yuan Ge, who was in her current state, only dared to take the risk because Xu Chengjin was there to watch over her. Even so, by the time she finished acupuncture, she seemed to be exhausted, and her body swayed slightly, and she almost fell forward. Fortunately, Jianshu was quick to hold her up.

Xu Chengjin washed his hands and poured her a cup of hot water. "Warm your hands. He's fine for now. You can rest here for a while. I'll go to the Qian family to get snow lotus seeds. I'll have someone report my name to the imperial physician. I still have some face in the Imperial Hospital. Unless..."

"Unless" the words came to her lips but she swallowed them. At this moment, Yuan Ge's attention was distracted and she didn't notice the other party's hesitation to say something. She just held the teacup with both hands as if she wanted to recover her strength as soon as possible from the warmth. She looked up at Xu Chengjin and said, "Be careful, or take Lin Mu with you?"

"No need." Xu Chengjin patted her head and consoled her with a smile, "If I take Lin Mu with me, I will be restricted by his status in every way. I am alone in white clothes. I heard that the Qian family got a rare treasure, and I don't like that prodigal son. I will try to snatch it. Even if the Qian family wants to settle the score, it will be the Xu family. It's a good opportunity to find something for my father to do... Let's go!" After that, he waved his hand, pushed open the door without looking back, and sighed softly when he reached the yard.

Unless what?

Unless someone in the palace got the news and secretly ordered the imperial physician to personally check the extent of the poison in Song Wenyuan's body.

The young man who used half his life to exchange for a "favor of saving the emperor" and thought that his career would be smooth from then on, certainly could not have imagined at that time that there is no such thing as a smooth career in this world, and which person in a high position and power is not held hostage by something? Only his Song family... if he wants to take this path, it is obviously more difficult than others. He saved the emperor with half his life, but the emperor still wants to hold the remaining half of his life before he is willing to use him... It would be better for him to be an ordinary person, a wandering cloud crane.
