Zhu Xiuqin reached out to stop Su Qingzhi.

But as soon as he spoke, his heart skipped a beat when his gaze met Su Qingzhi's icy eyes.

She bit her lip, lowered her head, and silently turned away, pondering in her mind.

Forget it, I'll borrow an old bucket from my neighbor first thing tomorrow morning to make do. We can't keep going without water forever.

Su Qingzhi had just stepped out of Zhu Xiuqin's house when she saw Shen Cunpu and Liu Chunhe standing by the wall waiting for her.

Shen Cunpu remained silent, gazing at her calmly without uttering a word.

Liu Chunhe, however, seemed somewhat anxious.

Upon seeing Su Qingzhi appear, he immediately stepped forward and called out.

"Sister Su Qingzhi, what should I do tomorrow? I'm ready to do whatever you ask me to do anytime!"

Su Qingzhi stopped and turned around to face him.

"Do you dare to stand up and prove that Liu Yuelan did indeed marry Li Hong, and that the Li family did indeed give a bride price? This is no small matter; once you speak up, you'll have to bear the consequences." Shen Zhiyu's lips curled into a smile.

Would you be willing to give it up?

Su Qingzhi raised an eyebrow, her heart skipping a beat.

This kid's getting smoother and smoother with words; he's even learned to flirt with people like this.

But the next second, Shen Zhiyu's expression changed.

His body stiffened abruptly, his features contorted, and cold sweat instantly beaded on his forehead.

A sharp pain spread from my limbs and bones.

The pain came so suddenly that he couldn't even groan. His whole body went limp, and he collapsed.

Seeing this, Su Qingzhi remained completely calm.

She crouched down and gently patted his cheek, her tone calm. "It's normal to feel this way the first time you drink spiritual spring water. Just get through it."

After an unknown amount of time, Shen Zhiyu slowly opened his eyes. He was lying on a soft bed, the quilt was white, the pillow was soft, and the room was bright and cozy.

He raised his hand and pinched himself hard, feeling a distinct pain in his fingertips.
