She had just left when the authoritative Traditional Chinese dicine doctor, Li Chongbai, arrived to examine Chi Ying. Finding nothing wrong, he felt relieved.
Then, when he saw the prescription Nan Yu had recently written that Xu Qi handed over, his face showed astonishnt.
Upon noticing the box of Silver Needles, he was utterly shocked.
The Silver Needles belonged to the Ghost Doctor, and the prescription was one that the Ghost Doctor had written before—sothing Li Chongbai had once seen by chance.
However, the Ghost Doctor died two years ago. Li Chongbai had been at the funeral, and even personally placed the Silver Needles in the burial.
These Silver Needles are unique in the world, with only one box in existence. If they appeared here, it would an soone had dug up the grave and stolen the Silver Needles.
Grave digging is a serious matter. Chi Ying imdiately denied it, claiming it must be a mistake—that these Silver Needles were fake, likely just imitations.
Li Chongbai, however, remained skeptical and decided to et Nan Yu personally next ti she treated Chi Ying, curious about who Nan Yu truly was.
After Li Chongbai left, Chi Ying couldn’t shake a sense of unease. Still, she chose to trust Nan Yu for now and planned to confront her later when she had more free ti.
Nonetheless, these Silver Needles were of great importance to Nan Yu. She arranged for Xu Qi to deliver them to Huo Juanyan, and have Huo Juanyan personally pass them to Nan Yu.
She also instructed Xu Qi to prepare keys to two residences so Nan Yu could pick one to move into.
anwhile, Nan Yu’s eldest brother left his phone number, but she mistakenly thought it belonged to a debt collector. Her uncle, with insatiable greed, demanded One Million. Nan Yu diverted her uncle’s attention by telling him that the Nan Family had received One Hundred Million as bride price and that Nan Qingqing had beco the Nan Family princess. Nan Yu then humiliated Nan Qingqing in person at a bar.
When Nan Yu hurried ho, those demanding money had already left. Fortunately, Song Yingqing was unhard.
Song Yingqing told her the other party had left a number, instructing her to call them back after returning.
Glaring at the unfamiliar number, Nan Yu assud it was yet another debt collector. As she fud, her uncle called again, asking her to transfer One Million to him.
Nan Yu’s mind raced, then she told him she didn’t have any money—that her adoptive parents had kept the bride price of One Hundred Million, and Nan Qingqing was now the Nan Family princess. If he wanted money, he should ask them.
The uncle exploded with anger, ranting about how he had only been given Ten Thousand to take Nan Yu away, claiming the Nan Family told him they were poor. Now, discovering they had so much money, he couldn’t believe they weren’t willing to give him even One Million.
After hanging up, he stord off to confront Sheng Ruoi.
Seeing Nan Yu exhausted, Song Yingqing dragged her to a bar to relax.
Unexpectedly, they ran into Nan Qingqing celebrating with a group of shallow friends, bragging about how she would beco the Nan Family princess in a month, with the entire Nan Group under her control.
A drunken Nan Qingqing spotted Nan Yu and imdiately began mocking her. She sneered, asking how it felt to marry that cripple and if she had enjoyed her wedding night.
The other privileged children joined in mockery.
Nan Yu retorted, claiming her husband had plenty of "moves" and that she was exceedingly satisfied with him.
Nan Qingqing’s best friend, who loathed Nan Yu, escalated the insults, sneering about whether those "moves" were ways to get her killed.
Nan Yu fiercely fired back without hesitation.
Seeing they couldn’t outargue Nan Yu, the others resorted to standing on moral high ground, accusing her of being ungrateful and a heartless wolf, which drew whispers and judgnt from those nearby.
Unwilling to let them bully Nan Yu further, Song Yingqing orchestrated a clever move, forcing Nan Qingqing to pay for everyone present.
Unable to swallow her pride, Nan Qingqing reluctantly agreed.
Seizing the opportunity, Nan Yu phoned her uncle, ensuring he witnessed Nan Qingqing footing the entire bill. Enraged further, the uncle demanded they provide him Ten Million, or the matter wouldn’t be over.
Nan Qingqing suffered significant monetary losses, coupled with her uncle’s growing demands, leaving her burning with hatred toward Nan Yu and Song Yingqing.
Having lost the mood for drinking, Nan Yu and Song Yingqing left the bar.
anwhile, Huo Juanyan observed the entire drama from the upper floor of the bar. Mistaking Nan Qingqing as his wife, his disgust for her deepened. He instructed Xia Xing to deliver the Silver Needles to Nan Qingqing.
He wanted nothing more to do with Nan Qingqing, ordering Xia Xing to keep her at a distance, forbid her from seeing his grandmother, and rule out any attempts to approach him by any ans.
On the other hand, he began to admire Nan Yu, marveling at how, despite growing up in the sa household, Nan Yu and Nan Qingqing were so starkly different.
After giving his orders, Huo Juanyan left.
Xia Xing complied, chasing down Nan Yu to return the Silver Needles and relay Huo Juanyan’s ssage.
Still overwheld with rage, Nan Yu snapped back, saying that it was his grandmother who insisted on seeing her. How was she supposed to handle that? She told Xia Xing to pass along a ssage to Huo Juanyan: if he had the ability, he should tell his grandmother himself.
After grabbing the item, Nan Yu and Song Yingqing rode off on their motorcycle.
Xia Xing was left speechless, feeling humiliated. Fearing Huo Juanyan’s anger, he hesitated to report what truly happened, fumbling for words.
Under the pressure of Huo Juanyan’s piercing gaze, Xia Xing finally confessed.
Just then, Huo Juanyan spotted Nan Qingqing erging from the bar entrance, flirting brazenly with several n, further fueling his disgust.
Furious, he stord off, plotting ways to sever her connection with his grandmother permanently.
Elsewhere, in the Nan Family’s ancestral household.
Nan Yu’s biological elder brother, Nan Zhuoyuan, had been investigating ever since learning of his missing sister’s whereabouts. He finally discovered that his real sister was none other than Nan Yu—not Nan Qingqing.
