After rebirth, I teamed up with the scumbag's mistress

Pei Manyong's face was filled with depression. After hesitating for a moment, she spoke: "I was born and raised in a brothel. In our Wei State, most brothel girls were fed drugs since childhood. The drug is a chronic poison. Every year, we need to take an antidote to control us dancers. Now, I don't have the antidote, and I will die in a few days."

Liu Yuefu suddenly understood.

No wonder, there were no ghosts during this period in the previous life. It must be because Madam Pei had died of poison and could no longer continue to play ghost games.

"Then why didn't Mr. Zhou, who treated you so well, completely detoxify you?" Hua Ling blurted out, and suddenly seemed to realize something and quickly covered her mouth.

Pei Manyong laughed bitterly, "It's not that you don't want to, sir, but you can't find such a capable person to completely detoxify me."

"The antidote I have had in my hands for the past nine years was bought by the master. He was not afraid that I would escape or get out of control. He always gave the antidote to me after buying it. That's how I was able to escape from the manor with the antidote."

She paused and said, "...to be able to survive here for nine years."

"It's because of my incompetence that I can't do anything to that bastard named Wu." Pei Manyong suddenly fell to the ground, feeling full of sorrow.

After hearing this, Liu Yuefu was deeply moved by Pei Manyong's experience. "Madam Pei, I know a master of detoxification. Maybe he can find a way. You can come with us into the city."

Liu Yuefu had a pass in her hand, and it was not difficult for her to enter the city by dressing Pei Manyong up as her maid.

"This..." Pei Manyong seemed a little hesitant.

"You don't want to?" Liu Yuefu leaned over and asked in a gentle voice.

Pei Manyong shook her head gently, "No, I just... I just didn't expect it."

Liu Yuefu smiled, took Pei Manyong's hand, and walked towards their own carriage outside the manor.

After getting on the carriage, Liu Yuefu instructed: "Chun Tao, there should be spare clothes for you in the carriage, take some clothes and change them for Madam Pei.

"Okay, ma'am." After hearing Liu Yuefu's instructions, Chuntao turned on the switch on the seat of the carriage and began to look for clothes.

"Madam Pei, your indenture and household registration are gone. Now you can only enter the city by pretending to be my maid." Liu Yuefu explained to Pei Manrong in a gentle voice.

"In that case, I'm really sorry to trouble you, Madam Li." Pei Manyong turned sideways and bowed to Liu Yuefu.

Liu Yuefu smiled and nodded, "Go change your clothes."

Pei Manyong took the coat handed to her by Chuntao and put it on very quickly.

Although Pei Manyong dressed quickly, Liu Yuefu still saw the burn scar on her back.

Liu Yuefu's heart sank as well, there were actually more than one scar.

How painful those wounds must have been at that time.

In his prime years, he was burnt and disfigured, and lost his hard-earned stable life...

These two things are enough to suffocate people, not to mention that she has no relatives and is homeless.

I can only walk alone and hard in this world.

The carriage quickly entered the city and headed straight for Ning'an Hall where Liang Jiuan was.

Liu Yuefu and her group got off the carriage. The street was bustling with people, and the sounds of laughter, talking and hawking could be heard everywhere. It was very lively.

Pei Manyong pulled up the collar of her cross-collared long jacket uncomfortably and lowered her head.

Liu Yuefu and her group entered Ning'an Hall, and a servant quickly came to greet them.

"Hello ladies, which distinguished guest is ill?" the servant asked tentatively.

"I am an old friend of your Doctor An. We are here today to discuss important matters with Doctor An. Please inform him that I am Madam Li from the residence of Li Sicheng." Liu Yuefu said in a gentle voice.

"But... today is not Doctor An's day for seeing patients. He is not seeing patients today." The servant said with some embarrassment.

"Please help this young man." Liu Yuefu signaled Chuntao with her eyes, and Chuntao took out a handful of silver grains and stuffed them into the boy's pocket.

"This..." The servant was obviously a little embarrassed, "Okay, I will just pass the message on for you once. I have no control over whether Doctor An sees the doctor or not."

"It's okay, go ahead." Liu Yuefu waved her hand and said.

The servant went straight to the backyard and came out happily after a while, "Madam Li, Doctor An asked you to come over, and I have done my best to live up to your trust."

After saying that, the servant led Liu Yuefu and the others to the room in the backyard where Liang Jiuan was.

There were two guards on duty at the door of the wing room.

"Sir, please inform them that Madam Li is here." The servant cautiously said to one of the guards at the gate.

The guard nodded slightly, opened the curtain and went inside.

After a while, the guard came out and said, "Madam Li, Doctor An wants you to come in."

The two guards immediately dispersed to both sides and made way.

"Thank you, my lords." Liu Yuefu bowed and said.

The personal guards around the Fifth Prince were all selected from the sons of nobles. They were not ordinary people and all held official ranks.

The two guards nodded but said nothing.

When Liu Yuefu entered the room, Liang Jiuan put down the pen in his hand and walked out from behind the desk.

This is a very large wing room, a suite. The inner part is the study, which has a sandalwood desk with some simple study items on it and a few sheets of rice paper weighed down by a paperweight. Behind the desk is a wooden bookshelf filled with various books. There is also a slightly larger Arhat couch on the right side of the study.

The outer room was for entertaining guests, with a square table and two sandalwood armchairs on each side. Below, there were four armchairs and two small round tables on each side, arranged in an orderly manner.

"Madam Liu, what are you doing here today?" Liang Jiuan asked directly.

"Doctor An, I have a maid who has been poisoned. Can you see if you can cure it?" Liu Yuefu said as she turned her head to look at Pei Manyong, "Manrong, go up and let Doctor An take a look at you."

Pei Manyong walked forward and said, "Sit down." Liang Jiuan motioned for her to sit on the armchair opposite him.

Pei Manyong stretched out her hand, Liang Jiuan took out a white handkerchief and spread it on her wrist, took her pulse, and began to examine her.

Liang Jiuan's brows suddenly frowned, then quickly relaxed.

"Madam, you have been poisoned by the bone-reinforcing powder, which is commonly used in brothels in the Wei State. You need to take the antidote pill once a year to protect your heart meridian and avoid death from the poison." Liang Jiuan said firmly.

"Is it possible to completely detoxify?" Liu Yuefu asked anxiously.

"Yes, I have the antidote for this poison before. Please wait a moment." Liang Jiuan got up and walked to the study. He sat down at the desk and quickly wrote two prescriptions.

Liang Jiuan stood up and handed the prescription to Liu Yuefu, "Madam Liu, this is the prescription. This one is for boiling and drinking, and this one is for medicinal bathing. Keep it well."

Liu Yuefu took it and handed it to Chuntao, who put the prescription away.

"Boil the medicine once a day and divide it into three bowls. Drink it three times a day for two weeks. You need to take the medicinal bath every day for two weeks. After two weeks, the poison will be completely eliminated." Liang Jiuan instructed gently. He knew that the person's identity was questionable and she couldn't be a maid of the Li family, but he didn't ask Liu Yuefu.

Since she wants to save her, then save her.

After Liu Yuefu and her group left, Liang Jiuan saw that he was alone in the room.

"Check the identity of the woman who was just poisoned." Liang Jiuan ordered.

"Your Highness, last time you privately invited Mr. Yu and Madam Wei to the lakeside, and this time you want to investigate the maidservants around Madam Li. Isn't that a bit too much? If the queen knew, I'm afraid she would have some thoughts." A dark guard dressed in black flashed out from the corner of the wall.

"You have done so much. Madam Li is Li Jianzhang's wife after all. It would not be good to cause gossip." The secret guard continued to advise.

"I know it well."

The secret guard nodded and disappeared into the corner again.

On the other side, after Liu Yuefu came out of Ning'an Hall, she took Madam Pei to Liu's Grocery Store and settled her down, then returned to the Li family.

When the doorman saw Liu Yuefu coming back, he handed her a note.

Liu Yuefu unfolded it and saw that it was a visiting card from Kang Miaoqing, which said that she would visit on the 15th of this month.

The fifteenth of this month? That day was not only Li Jianzhang's day off, but also the day he would come to Liu Yuefu's place for dinner every month.

It seems that Kang Miaoqing is going to take action.

But what will she do this time when she comes to the Li family?

Liu Yuefu rubbed her temples and suddenly felt a headache.
