That night, Mu Fengqie had a high fever. A Ru kept changing the cold towels on her forehead.
"What should we do? Sister is still burning," A Ru said anxiously. They had already called the doctor and she had taken the medicine, but the fever just wouldn't go down.
Mu Fengqie felt as if she was dead but also alive. She saw herself performing acupuncture on a patient. Suddenly, the patient attacked and inserted the needle into her temple. Mu Fengqie remembered this scene. It was exactly how she died in her previous life. But why was she seeing it again?
What happened next made Mu Fengqie burn with anger.
"Doctor Zhang, I've completed the task you assigned. When will you pay me the remaining balance you promised?"
"You'll receive a bank notification in five minutes."
"Thank you, Doctor Zhang." Then the call ended.
Mu Fengqie recognized the voice of Doctor Zhang. She was all too familiar with it. It was Zhang De, who had worked with her for fifteen years.
But why? Why did Zhang De want to harm her? Until her death, she had thought it was a medical accident, that the patient had lost control due to sudden pain and accidentally injured her. But it turned out to be a premeditated murder!
Then she saw Zhang De. She wanted to go up and question him, but her body passed through his. She couldn't even touch him!
"Hahaha... Mu Fengqie, you're finally dead. Do you know how many people's paths you've blocked over the years? I'm doing this for everyone, so don't blame me."
"In the future, I'll also publish your medical achievements. I'll take care of everything for you. Just rest in peace. Hahaha..."
How could this be? Why? Why was this happening?
She saw her apprentices crying heart - brokenly, while Zhang De comforted them on the side and even took the opportunity to persuade her apprentices to join his school.
How shameless!
But no matter how much Mu Fengqie scolded, no one could hear her. She could only quietly watch what was happening in front of her.
"Sister, wake up quickly."
"Sister..."
Mu Fengqie heard someone calling her sister, but she couldn't remember whose voice it was. However, she was very sure that they were calling her.
Mu Fengqie tried hard to think, but the more she thought, the more her head hurt. Her head felt heavier and heavier. She couldn't control the urge to scream.
Mu Fengqie suddenly opened her eyes. Looking at the scene in front of her, she couldn't snap out of the dream for a moment.
"Wuwuwu... Sister, you're finally awake. You've been in a coma for three days. I was so worried..."
"A Ru...?" Who was that?
She felt like she couldn't remember anything. Her head hurt so much!
Mu Fengqie raised her hand to pound her head, but as soon as her arm moved, the pain made her face contort.
It hurt so much!
"Doctor, how is my sister? Is she okay?"
"Well, judging from her pulse, there's nothing serious. She just needs to rest and recuperate well."
"But why does my sister seem to have forgotten everything?"
"This is a normal phenomenon. Madam was seriously injured and in a deep coma. It's normal for her to have memory problems. She'll recover in a few days."
"That's good, that's good." A Ru was afraid that her sister had lost her memory. Fortunately, it was just temporary.
"Sister, I'm A Ru, your younger sister. Let me help you sit up and have some porridge."
"You haven't eaten anything in the three days you've been in a coma. You've only had some water. You must be hungry now."
A Ru's words made Mu Fengqie realize that she was indeed starving.
"Thank you."
"Sister, don't be so polite with me. Have more."
Meanwhile, at the Yang family's mansion...
Old Master Yang was trembling in front of the visitor. "May I ask, great hero, how have I offended you? I hope you'll show mercy and spare my life. I'll surely reward you handsomely."
Old Master Yang was frightened. The man had come and started killing without saying a word. Most of the secret guards in his mansion had been killed.
Old Master Yang was no longer as calm as before. He thought the man was here to take revenge on him, but it turned out that the target was not him.
"Humph! It's your precious daughter who has offended someone she shouldn't have. She dared to hurt her! I'm here to avenge her!"
Although Old Master Yang usually doted on his daughter, when it came to his own life, he didn't hesitate.
"Go and bring the young lady here!"
"Father, why did you call me here?"
But as soon as Yang Qing walked up to her father, she received a slap.
"Ungrateful daughter! Kneel down!"
Yang Qing was stunned by the slap. She had never been beaten since she was a child, except for the slap Mu Fengqie had given her. This was the second time.
Yang Qing looked at her father in disbelief. "Father, you actually hit me!"
"Tell me yourself, what trouble have you caused outside? People have come to our doorstep!" Old Master Yang was so angry that he had lost his temper.
"What trouble could I have caused..." Wait.
No, a few days ago, she had a conflict with Mu Fengqie... Could it be that this man was here for...
Jing Xunchi watched Yang Qing's face turn pale. "So? Remember now?"
"Then tell me what you did to her. Better tell the truth, or I can't guarantee your life!"
"I... I don't know what you're talking about." Yang Qing took a panicked step back.
She didn't know where she had gone wrong. She had thought she had arranged everything properly and that the bitch had been buried. Why had they still found her?
"It seems you don't want to talk."
Yang Qing watched the man approaching step by step. Cold sweat broke out on her face. She was thinking about how to escape. She knew her father wouldn't save her, so she had to find a way to save herself.
Jing Xunchi kept telling himself not to be impulsive. He had to find out the real mastermind behind this, or else Qie'er would be in danger again.
Before he came, he had already investigated the Yang family through the Dark Pavilion. The whole family was rotten to the core!
Jing Xunchi whipped out a whip and tightly wrapped it around Yang Qing. He dragged her hard across the ground and all the way to the dungeon where Mu Fengqie had been imprisoned.
"Which whip did you use to beat her with?"
"I... I didn't... I didn't... Please spare me, spare me... Someone brought her here."
"I didn't kidnap her."
"Who was it?"
"I... I don't know..."
"Slap!" Jing Xunchi lashed out with the whip.
"Ah! It hurts so much!" Yang Qing curled up in pain.
"It hurts? Did she cry out in pain when you beat her?" He knew his Qie'er must have gritted her teeth and endured it, because his Qie'er was very strong and would never bow to people like them.
"I'm sorry... Please spare me..."
"Then think hard. Who was that person?"
"I... I don't know who his master is, but... but I know that the black - clothed man had a black totem on his wrist."
"I don't know anything else. Please spare me. I promise I'll never do it again." Yang Qing was really scared. She could tell that this man was ruthless.
