A doctor from Western Liang City was invited to diagnose Deng Wanwan. Wei Changying had to accompany them because both Deng Zongqi and Deng Wanwan were her guests. Under Deng Zongqi's request, the doctor diagnosed Deng Wanwan again and again to make sure what Duanmu Xinmiao said was right. Nevertheless, Deng Zongqi trusted the medical skills of Miracle Doctor Ji and his family... Maybe he was now afraid of her skills, so the doubt could be seen between his brows.

As the hostess, Wei Changying asked a maidservant to send the doctor away and comforted Deng Zongqi, "Despite her excellent medical skills, Xinmiao was not a reckless person. You don’t need to worry much about Wanwan. Xinmiao had a carsickness all the way and slept for half the journey, but she was awake for several days by taking medicine before. At that time, we were not wary of her. If she had wanted to do something, Wanwan must have been hurt that time. But Wanwan was safe all the way and only got a cold when we were about to arrive... So it was obvious that Xinmiao had no hostility to Wanwan."

Although she did nothing to Deng Wanwan on the way, Deng Zongqi didn't think that Duanmu Xinmiao had no hostility to Deng Wanwan. If Duanmu Xinmiao hadn't got along well with Deng Wanwan, Deng Wanwan wouldn't have followed firmly what she said. Deng Wanwan pulled her unique brother to her and persuaded Deng Zongqi to drink the medicine with poison.

At the same time, Duanmu Xinmiao told Deng Wanwan directly that Deng Wanwan delivered assistance to her when Deng Wanwan was surprised that Deng Zongqi vomited blood. Deng Wanwan couldn't stand it and fainted instantly... If she had been kind to Deng Wanwan, she would not have freely told the truth or ignored Deng Wanwan's feelings.

But Deng Zongqi didn't want to contradict Wei Changying. He smiled lightly and said softly, "Be at ease. I understood Miss Duanmu's worry about Duke Cai and his mother. Given this accident, now that Wanwan is safe, I would let it go." What he meant was that he didn't care much about himself. But he would not let Duanmu Xinmiao go if there was something wrong with Deng Wanwan.

Wei Changying praised Deng Zongqi as a gentleman in mind. If he hadn’t been involved by Honored Consort Deng and hadn’t been able to free himself for benefiting much from Honored Consort Deng... He was really a wonderful choice of her brother-in-law. She had so many beautiful virtuous cousins with talents, waiting to marry. It was a pity to let such a good candidate go.

"You are really a gentleman." Wei Changying praised Deng Zongqi and begged for forgiveness again from him and his sister for being poisoned by Duanmu Xinmiao in Mingpei Hall. After they exchanged banalities for a couple of minutes, Wei Changying said, "Xinmiao was so ridiculous this time and threatened you with life, but you were not afraid of her rude words and threats just now. You would make a big breakthrough with such nobleness in the future."

Deng Zongqi had been used to the banalities and didn't care. But he realized that Wei Changying was about to leave after the greeting. He knew exactly that here was Mingpei Hall, the ancestral hall of the Shen Family. Shen Cangfeng was not here, but maidservants were around them to avoid gossip between them. Someone would tell what happened today in detail to the third young master of the Shen Family, who stayed in bed. Shen Cangfeng was so smart to guess the truth according to a few clues, so as to understand his private thought.

But he also knew that if he missed the opportunity today, it would be more difficult for him to talk with Wei Changying in private, even surrounded by maidservants like this.

Deng Zongqi was unable to resist the impulse and replied unexpectedly, "I am flattered. In fact, I was so scared just now."

"You are joking." What Deng Zongqi said did not meet what Wei Changying prepared to say, so Wei Changying stopped her intention to say something greeting. Instead, she smiled, "You behaved so easily just now that I didn't realize your fear."

Deng Zongqi wanted to talk more with her, but he was afraid that the surrounding maidservants would discover something, which would disadvantage them. So he thought for a while and decided to take his sleeping sister as an excuse, "It would be OK if I were alone. Wanwan is so young, and she doesn’t get married. If I came across some accidents, I was worried that Wanwan, who lost parents when she was young, would suffer a lot in the future without me again."

"Wanwan is fortunate to have your care." Wei Changying realized Deng Zongqi's unusual answer. It was said that Deng Zongqi cared about his sister very much, so he didn't get married yet. He wanted to pick someone carefully, in case his wife was not virtuous enough and would treat his sister badly after their marriage... So it was reasonable for a brother, who always cared about his sister like this, to be upset. Therefore, he wanted to ask someone to listen to his grumble. After all, he saw his sister was cheated and fainted directly. Even after being treated, Deng Wanwan didn’t wake up. Although the one who listened to him was a married woman, it was reasonable he wanted to talk with her.

Wei Changying shifted the topic to Deng Wanwan and comforted him for a while... Deng Zongqi gave up keeping her here with other topics. Having finished her comfort words, Wei Changying said goodbye politely and left.

After Wei Changying left, Deng Zongqi discharged maidservants, leaving him alone. He took a sip of tea slowly and didn't know whether he was pleased to talk with his admired person for a long time in private… or sad to miss Wei Chanying for a life-long time.

He felt his heart up and down and didn't realize he had finished the tea, keeping the tea bowl on his lips. He looked at the dry tea-leaf in the bottom of the bowl for a long time and couldn't resist smiling. He put the bowl on the table and thought with dismay, "Even if she hadn't been appointed to get married with Shen Cangfeng when she was a baby, as a son of a notable family, how could I take the unique lineal eldest granddaughter of the Wei Family as my wife without seniors? Besides, my career is connected with my aunt. If my aunt came across some accidents, I was not sure what would happen. If I got a chance to marry her, it was better to let it go, in case of involving her. It was the fate between us. Shen Cangfeng seemed to treat her so well, so it was unreasonable for me to break them up. If someone discovered something between us, she would be hurt in turn!"

Deng Zongqi decided not to take an adventure like this in the following days.

Dong Zongqi tried his best to conceal his thought, but Wei Changying was now the target of the public. She was reported to Shen Cangfeng as long as someone had got something on her, "Today, young madam talked with young master Deng for a long time, despite the surrounding maidservants. This was not in line with the rules."

Shen Cangfeng had decided to support his wife to manage Mingpei Hall, so he ignored the gossip and only asked what happened briefly. Then he said, "It was my fourth brother that should be responsible for this. Both Deng Zongqi and Miss Deng are the guests of Mingpei Hall, but they were hurt here. Although the offender was another guest rather than anyone belonging to Mingpei Hall, it was the duty of our Shen Family indeed! My fourth brother was outside all day and I stayed in bed to cure my wound. Should I let them quarrel with each other endlessly if my wife didn't solve the problem for them?"

The informer said, "It was reasonable for young madam to solve the problem for them and go with Deng Zongqi and his sister to Miss Deng's room, arranging something for them as well. But after the doctor left, young madam still talked with young master Deng for a long time. This was really... This might form public opinion."

Shen Cangfeng said calmly, "Since they were surrounded by maidservants, obviously, they just talked some comfort words. It was well-known in the capital that Deng Zongqi lost his parents when he was young, and he loved his sister so much. As Miss Deng's brother, he must be upset about his sister's fright. Originally, we were shameful for his being poisoned by Miss Duanmu in Mingpei Hall. It was our duty to beg for forgiveness and comfort them after the doctor was sent away. Wasn't Changying considerate like this? Or did you want to take advantage of this matter to prevent my wife from going out, so as to conceal the truth?"

Shen Cangfeng said to the informer again, "My wife was too busy to send somebody to inform me of the accident. As the first one to be here, you must have known what happened today but conceal the truth on purpose! Why should I keep you? Go to pack your bags and all of your family should move out of Mingpei Hall."

Wei Changying came back as long as he drove away the informer. She inquired how he felt about his wound with a smile. Before they changed the topic, they flirted for a while. Wei Changying put a wisp of hair behind her ear and asked with a smile, "Is the person that went out of your room just now the son of a servant who lives in the east of Mingpei Hall?"

Shen Cangfeng said insouciantly, "I asked them to move out. You choose others to replace them. We have sufficient employees here."

Regardless of the reason, Wei Changying said, "OK. Xinmiao quarreled with young master Deng just now. She said she was threatened by the Honored Consort to be an informer. She was now regretful to involve Duke Cai and his mother in!"

Wei Changying told Shen Cangfeng the story briefly. In addition, the informer had informed him of the detail. Shen Cangfeng said with a smile, "The grudge between the family of Miracle Doctor Ji and the Deng Family was complicated. Even what Deng Zongqi and Duanmu Xinmiao knew was not the whole story. But I knew a little about the reason why Miracle Doctor Ji took Duanmu Xinmiao as his disciple."

"Ah?"

Shen Cangfeng explained, "The abolished Empress, Madam Qian, wanted to protect Ji Ying that year, but she couldn't do it. Then Ji Ying's family was involved. Madam Qian tried her best to protect them. Or, the Ji Family would have been sent to Eastern Hu according to Honored Consort Deng, rather than Western Liang. This was why Miracle Doctor Ji hated Madam Qian, but he was willing to take Duanmu Xinmiao as his disciple."

Since Shen Cangfeng mentioned Eastern Hu, Wei Changying figured out something and said with surprise, "So it was Mrs. Liu who intervened?"

"Mrs. Liu sent Madam Qian to be the Empress in the royal palace after the first wife of His Majesty died. But she was afraid that Madam Qian being pregnant might disadvantage the Eldest Prince, so she used many methods... However, Mrs. Liu was about to kill Ji Ying even before the Fourth Prince was born because his medical skills were so awesome. Madam Qian had been grateful to Ji Ying. Besides, Mrs. Liu couldn’t detoxify the poison You Lai He while Ji Ying and his family were able to detoxify it. Therefore, she did try her best to save Ji Ying. At last, Shu Consort Huo, to whom nobody paid attention, was neglected. The unquestionable evidence, given by Mrs. Liu, forced Ji Ying to die. At the same time, his families were involved. As Shu Consort Huo was sentenced to death, Madam Qian tried her best to change the penal colony of the Ji Family from Eastern Hu to Western Liang and asked our parents to look after them in private. But our family was unwilling to be involved deeply, so we only asked several people of our family to take care of them in private in case others would know about it."

Wei Changying said in surprise, "So was it Ji Ying who could detoxify the poison You Lai He? I thought the poison was detoxified by Miracle Doctor Ji."

Shen Cangfeng said, "It was just a guess whether Ji Ying or Ji Qubing detoxified the poison You Lai He. Because it was sure now that the poison, which the Liu Family got from northern tribes, could be detoxified by Ji Qubing. Others were uncertain. Madam Qian didn't give birth to a child and appointed Ji Ying as the head of the Imperial Hospital as soon as she was pregnant... So when the news that Ji Qubing detoxified the poison You Lai He spread, everyone guessed that Madam Qian should have been poisoned by You Lai He. According to the Liu Family, even if she knew, there was nothing she could do. The Liu Family didn't expect that two successive famous doctors of the Ji Family in the late 100 years worked out the resolution of the poison. Besides, Madam Qian murdered the Eldest Prince as soon as she had her own son."

Wei Changying thought maybe Madam Qian didn't want to do like this. But being poisoned by the Liu Family, she had to murder the Eldest Prince to revenge.

She said, "All about the history... It was frustrating that both of them couldn't make an agreement and couldn't be sent away at once. Now they were separated contemporarily for Wanwan was fainting. Despite her good temper, she had a good relationship with her brother. So she might launch a fight again when she woke up. We have to come up with an idea to prevent it. I am afraid to cause trouble from carelessness in the future. We cannot keep monitoring them all the way."

Then she asked Shen Cangfeng, "Do you have any idea?"
