"Someone, search Qing Fu's residence." When First Madam heard her concubine Xu Lingzhu's report, she ordered someone to go with her.

Before long, someone came back to report that there was no poison as Xu Lingzhu had described. Startled, Xu Lingzhu staggered back a few steps as her stomach swelled up and she lost control of her emotions, "Impossible! It was on her! It must be her! "

"I wonder why Aunt Xu is so certain that it was my personal servant, Qing Fu. Qing Fu and Aunt Xiao Ge have no feud between them, so why did you harm her?" Could it be that Auntie Xu has turned her emotions towards my servant after seeing me so unhappy? " Zhen Wan stood up and bowed.

"San-er, don't ask for help. Auntie Xu is doing it for your own good!" Xu Lingzhu turned around and excitedly pointed at Qing Fu. "She has ill intentions and a venomous heart. This time, she was able to harm Xiao Ge. Maybe next time, she'll want to harm you!"

"For my own good? I know Qing Fu best. It's impossible for her to do such a malicious thing. If we were to search her, we'll search all the female members of the clan thoroughly. If not, I'll see who dares to touch her. " Zhen Wan stood in front of Qing Fu, shielding her with her arms.

First Madam had no other choice. She knew that Qing Fu knew martial arts, and she had always only listened to Zhen Wan's words. Helpless, she could only take a step back and say, "Then we will search everyone here."

Chun Ying brought along a few girls to search them one by one. Whether it was the male or female slaves, Straight Wife, or concubines, they searched every single one of them, only to find a suspicious bag of medicine on Zhen Tao's body.

Seeing that, Zhen Tao was dumbfounded, she quickly kneeled down and explained: "That medicine was given to me by Zhen Wan! Not mine! Mother, if you want to uphold justice for your child, your son will be wronged! "

Qing Fu took a step forward and calmly proven, "You said my family's young miss, Zhen Wan, gave you this, is there any evidence? My Miss has always been with Second Wife Su Pingqi. I've never seen you since I came to the village, so how did I give you that? "

Zhen Tao couldn't argue at all. After all, no one was around when Zhen Wan gave it to her, so no one could prove it for her. With a panicked expression, she got up and grabbed Zhen Wan by the neck. Do you love Cao Xian too? But he saved me. That's why you set me up to die! If I die, you can marry him, right? "

Zhen Wan pulled Zhen Tao's hand away and said coldly, "I don't even know who Cao Xian is, so why would I be unwilling? You are my sister, and although you are not from the same mother as me, I have no need to harm you in the slightest. "

"Enough, Tao! I am very disappointed with you. You actually harmed Aunt Xiao Ge out of jealousy, and now you want to push it onto your sister, Zhen Wan. "You better pray that Xiao Ge is safe, or else I won't be able to protect you." With that, Shangguan Wu left with Chun Ying.

The ladies all dispersed as well, discussing amongst themselves. Zhen Tao sat paralyzed on the floor in the main hall, at a loss of what to do.

Zhen Wan secretly rejoiced in her heart. In this way, not only did she protect Qing Fu, but she had also let First Madam suffer a setback. It could be said that she had killed two birds with one stone.

After thinking it over, Zhen Wan decided to go over to Xiao Ge's place to take a look. In her previous life, she had died after entering Prince Zhen's mansion. Prince Zhen was furious, and Qing Fu died with her. The poison had been found in Zhen Tao's body. Although Zhen Tao was his daughter, if Xiao Ge had really died, he would not have been able to protect Zhen Tao from being dragged to her death in a fit of rage.

Zhen Tao couldn't die yet. Hearing her words of despair in the hall today, she had fallen in love with Cao Xian. If that was the case, then he could let her marry Cao Xian. Wouldn't he find it hard to be at ease then?

Zhen Wan used her memory to draw a seal and hand it to Qing Fu. She instructed her to go to the imperial physician and give the seal to an imperial physician surnamed Tan.

Doctor Tan was shocked when he saw the talisman. He was Cao Xian's man and could cure a hundred poisons. He had a secret agreement with Cao Xian and used the talisman as a keepsake to cure him. Doctor Tan examined the runes and returned them to Qing Fu. He brought the medicine chest with him and hurried over to Xiao Ge's place.

At this moment, Xiao Ge's life was hanging by a thread. When Imperial Physician Tan arrived, it took some effort for Zhen Wan to disperse the crowd. Xiao Ge, Imperial Physician Tan and Zhen Wan were the only ones in the empty room.

He shook his head and carefully took out a porcelain bottle from the medicine chest. He said to Zhen Wan, "This medicine is extremely dangerous, even though it can bring death back to life, it is a heaven-defying change of fate. I'm afraid it will affect her in the future. Are you sure you want to feed it to her?"

When Zhen Wan saw Doctor Tan, all sorts of scenes from the past resurfaced. Her lifetime of infertility in her past life had been diagnosed by Doctor Tan.

Zhen Wan knew the medicine in this bottle had revived Cao Xian, but the side effects were great. But now, there was no other way, no matter how dangerous it was, it could only be so.

"Quickly feed her!" Zhen Wan couldn't care so much. Xiao Ge couldn't die. Otherwise, Zhen Tao wouldn't be able to protect herself. Inviting the imperial physician was a heaven-defying act, and she was afraid of retribution.

Imperial Physician Tan fed the medicine to Xiao Ge before bowing and pacifying her. "Please be at ease, Miss. She'll wake up in less than an hour."

Zhen Wan nodded her head and led Doctor Tan out of Xiao Ge's house. She gave Doctor Tan three silver coins and told Qing Fu to send him out through the back door. She also instructed him to ignore what had happened today, including his master Cao Xian.
