Unless there were grievances to be reported or official duties to be handled, they rarely left the Han Mansion, spending most of their time instead with each other, the beloved couple. However, through the words of the servants, although these two were not often seen by the public, various anecdotes about the couple’s deep affection and mutual respect circulated endlessly in the neighborhood. One of these popular stories spread far and wide; many men wished they could one day marry a wife as deeply devoted as Officer Han, thinking how wonderful that would be. But no matter what the outside world thought, at the end of the day, these two lived their own lives behind closed doors. And as the illness of her husband grew more severe, people in the neighborhood had already started speculating that he might not have long to live in this world. Upon hearing these words, Han Yue was slightly startled and then frowned, asking, "This person is quite bold. Are they male or female, and what do they want." She did not take it at face value and slowly twirled the white jade ring on her right thumb. Over the years, she had sought out many doctors, but while ordinary doctors were at a loss, the famous Divine Doctor Yun was elusive. Some unscrupulous people had also tried to take advantage of this to get close to her, and there was even an old "Doctor" who, along with his son, had come to visit, clearly hoping to push his son into her inner courtyard, thus securing a place at the lavish table of an officer’s family. Fang Lanshan sighed quietly to herself, knowing that Officer Han would certainly not believe it. But it was not just Officer Han who was skeptical; when Xiao Dong first came to her with her request, she too was quite surprised. "The officer, you just watch!" Fang Lanshan drew her longsword and cut her own finger with the blade. The wound was deep, and blood dripped steadily from it, then spilled onto the ground. "What are you doing..." Han Yue’s brow furrowed, and at that moment, Fang Lanshan suddenly took out a small porcelain bottle from her bosom, uncorked it, and poured out some fine white powder from within. The powder, sprinkled on the wound, melded upon contact with the blood. Almost immediately, the flesh of the cut, which had been cleanly sliced, began to visibly and rapidly knit together and heal... Officer Han drew in a sharp breath. Such miraculous efficacy, the powder in this bottle could truly be called a wonder drug! Once the wound had healed, Fang Lanshan swallowed hard. Previously, it had been with ’fact’ that Xiao Dong had convinced her to make this trip. Even though she had witnessed the miraculous effect of this white powder in front of Xiao Dong before coming here, witnessing it again still left her feeling unsettled and astonished. "The officer, this medicine comes from a friend of mine. And about this friend, I don’t know if you remember? Roughly over half a year ago, my friend, in order to seek justice for her fiancé, struck the Drum of Public Notice three times, was punished with ninety strokes at the Department of Surveillance, later brought charges against a village woman surnamed Zhu who died in jail, and also assisted your subordinates in solving an arson and corpse-burning case..." Han Yue clenched her sleeve tightly, whitening the fingertips she was pinching. Of the three major events Fang Lanshan listed, the last one left the deepest impression on Han Yue. She remembered how Fang Lanshan had brought the Owner of He’s Grain Store and a woman with the surname Tie to justice. But then, Official Pang from the Department of Surveillance personally visited her about this case, plus the fact that although they had captured a nameless body to impersonate an actor known as Phoenix Blood, and had detained Phoenix Blood for several days, no lives had been harmed in the end. Despite causing quite a stir, after the punishment was carried out, she had no choice but to release them.
