Chapter 1: The Bride of the First Night, Humiliated by the Rush Marriage

“Sister-in-law, my third brother, that fool, doesn’t know how to make a woman comfortable. Let the fourth brother take good care of you.”

“Yeah, the Gu family sent you to my third brother, who is both stupid and lame, for a rush marriage. They don’t cherish you, but we brothers do!”

Two pairs of malicious hands pulled at Gu Yunlan’s crimson wedding dress. She was so angry that her face turned red, but how could a weak woman compare to the strength of two grown men?

Gu Yunlan struggled desperately: “No! I am the legally married wife of the Mu family. Aren’t you afraid of what people will say?”

“Slap!” Mu Wencheng slapped Gu Yunlan across the face. She felt a ringing in her ears and blood trickled from her mouth.

Mu Wencheng roughly grabbed Gu Yunlan’s chin, forcing her to look up at him: “I have a reputation for being a righteous gentleman. If you… guess who people will believe, me, or you, the illegitimate daughter of the Minister of Revenue, who is unwilling to marry a fool in a rush marriage and deliberately seduces my second brother?”

“Or do you think your father, who is good at flattering and ingratiating himself, will stand up for you?”

Gu Yunlan’s eyes were filled with despair.

Her father, Gu Xiude, valued nothing more than profit. In the past, after passing the imperial examination, he married the daughter of a high-ranking official, making her mother, his wife from the countryside, a concubine. How could he possibly stand up for her now?

Rip!

The fabric was torn into shreds, revealing the crimson embroidered undergarment beneath. Gu Yunlan’s humiliated expression made Mu Wencheng and Mu Zixuan even more excited.

Mu Zixuan snatched Gu Yunlan’s sash and threw it on Mu Chenye’s pale face.

“Third brother, you’re going to die anyway. Why don’t you let your wife be with your younger brother? You can watch and pretend you’re enjoying it. Don’t worry, I’ll burn more paper money for you at your grave.” Mu Zixuan laughed arrogantly.

Mu Chenye pulled the sash and played with it, his handsome face bearing a foolish smile: “Fun, fun…”

But then, he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood and leaned weakly against the headboard.

His face was as pale as paper, but his cheeks were flushed with an unnatural redness. His lips were pale with a hint of purple. Although he was still playing, it was clear that he didn’t have long to live.

Gu Yunlan’s heart completely died.

Mu Chenye himself was probably at death’s door. How could he possibly save her?

Mu Wencheng chuckled: “Good sister-in-law, just give in to me…” He leaned in to kiss Gu Yunlan.

Gu Yunlan seized the opportunity and bit down on Mu Wencheng’s neck. Mu Wencheng, in pain, loosened his grip on Gu Yunlan’s hand. Taking advantage of this, Gu Yunlan slammed into the wall.

Bang!

Her body slumped to the ground, blood flowing from her forehead.

Her eyes were wide open, filled with resentment. She was barely breathing.

Mu Zixuan was terrified by this sudden turn of events. He trembled as he pulled on Mu Wencheng’s sleeve: “Second brother, it’s over! She’s dead! Father loves third brother the most. Now that his new wife is dead in our hands, how are we going to explain this to father?”

Mu Wencheng’s eyes were filled with darkness, then he sneered: “What do you mean ‘dead in our hands’? It’s clear that she didn’t want to be near the fool, third brother, and she was pushed against the wall during an argument with him. What does it have to do with us?”

Mu Zixuan was stunned, then he immediately laughed with relief: “Right, second brother is right! But won’t the fool, third brother, tell anyone?”

Mu Wencheng frowned: “We can’t leave any loose ends.”

He picked up the wedding veil from the floor and motioned for Mu Zixuan to grab the other end. Mu Zixuan, confused, took hold of it. Then, Mu Wencheng covered Mu Chenye’s mouth and nose with the veil.

Mu Zixuan stammered in shock: “Se, second brother, this…”

“You and I will take care of him together. If you don’t do it, I have ways to put this on your head!” Mu Wencheng’s eyes flashed with ruthlessness.

Mu Zixuan knew that Mu Wencheng was capable of doing this. He could only grit his teeth and, together with Mu Wencheng, pressed the veil over Mu Chenye’s mouth and nose.

Mu Chenye was already weak and didn’t even struggle before he stopped breathing.

Mu Wencheng straightened his clothes, making sure he still looked like the elegant and refined second son of the Mu family, before saying calmly: “Let’s go, let’s ask father to come.”

The two left in a hurry. No one saw Gu Yunlan, who had collapsed on the floor, her fingers twitching slightly.

Gu Yunlan reached out to cover her head.

Her head hurt so much!

She had just finished a major surgery and had been up for several nights. She had just lain down to sleep for a while, why was her head hurting again?

Gu Yunlan, feeling annoyed, opened her eyes, intending to give herself a few acupuncture needles, but she was shocked by the scene before her.

The surroundings were decorated in an ancient style, clearly not her Divine Physician Hall.

Just as she was confused, a memory that didn’t belong to her flooded her mind.

She, the 280th generation successor of the Divine Physician Hall, the top medical expert in both modern Chinese and Western medicine, had actually transmigrated into the body of the unloved illegitimate daughter of the Minister of Revenue of the Qi Dynasty, and she was sent to marry a foolish cripple in a rush marriage!

On the night of her wedding, the original owner was forced by Mu Wencheng and Mu Zixuan. Unwilling to be humiliated, she slammed into the wall and died. As she was dying, she witnessed the two Mu brothers working together to suffocate Mu Chenye!

Gu Yunlan quickly got up and looked at the bed. Mu Chenye’s face had already turned deathly pale.

If he really died, once the two wicked Mu brothers brought her father-in-law here, she would probably be buried with him!

Gu Yunlan took his pulse. It was faint, like a thread. Any other doctor would have simply thrown up their hands and said it was up to fate.

But she, Gu Yunlan, with her medical skills, dared to fight against fate!

Gu Yunlan looked at her left wrist. A smooth jade bracelet emitted a faint glow. This was the inheritance of her Divine Physician Hall, a personal medical space.

She quickly took out silver needles from the space. Each needle landed on a vital acupoint. If another doctor were to see this, they would probably be scared out of their wits.

If Gu Yunlan’s hand trembled even slightly, Mu Chenye would immediately die.

But her expression was very relaxed, and she even had the time to chatter: “He’s really handsome, even better-looking than male models. He’s just a little thin. I can’t stand to see handsome guys suffer. Don’t worry, I’ve snatched people from the King of Hell many times. Even if you go to the Underworld, I’ll get you back.”

As soon as she put away the silver needles, Mu Chenye suddenly opened his eyes and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Gu Yunlan pinched Mu Chenye’s chin and wiped the blood from his mouth with her sleeve, smiling playfully: “Handsome guy, I saved your life. You’re mine now. Remember, I’m your wife, Gu Yunlan. You have to serve me tea, pour water, massage my shoulders, rub my legs, and warm my bed!”

Mu Chenye smiled foolishly: “Okay… wife…”

Gu Yunlan rubbed Mu Chenye’s head: “Good boy.”

Mu Chenye tilted his head and rubbed against her palm. His black hair fell onto her hand. His doe eyes shone brightly as he focused on her, like a large dog, smiling with his lips slightly parted, revealing a small dimple.

Gu Yunlan’s heart melted.

Transmigrating to ancient times wasn’t so bad after all. At least the handsome guys here were naturally handsome.

He was a little foolish, but she was confident that she could cure him and prevent him from drooling.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Since she had taken over the original owner’s body and, out of gratitude for the original owner, married such a handsome guy, she wouldn’t let the original owner’s grievances go in vain. She would avenge the original owner, and she would protect the original owner’s family!

Even if she suffered a little injustice, she would make everyone restless!

Bang!

The door was kicked open. Mu Zixuan hadn’t even arrived, but his voice, full of malice, rang out first.

“Father! Come and see! That little slut from the Gu family dared to attack third brother and even beat him to death!”

A malicious smile curled up at the corner of Gu Yunlan’s lips.

Little bastard, you dare to attack my little puppy! I haven’t gone after you yet, and you’re already looking for death!
