"Become the sword in my hand!"

Lin Yaoyao's eyes were filled with shock as she stared at her in astonishment.

“You can choose to go back to Song Yuxiu and tell him that I know everything. See if he chooses to turn against me or kill you again to silence you.”

"You can also choose to work with me."

"I'll give you three days to think it over."

After Shen Zhiyi finished speaking, she got up and left the house. Hongrui and Lühe helped her up and treated the wounds on Lin Yaoyao's hands and face.

She seemed to have suffered a great shock, her soul wandered, and she was completely dazed.

——

In the courtyard, under the pear tree

"Are you sure she'll cooperate with you?" Xiao Zhongxuan asked, looking at the person beside him.

“It might not have happened before, but things are different now.” Shen Zhiyi looked up at the tree; the pear blossoms had all fallen, and new leaves were sprouting.

"Because of the child?"

Shen Zhiyi didn't speak, but the corners of her mouth slightly curled up.

A gust of wind blew, knocking down a few remaining pear blossoms from the branches. Some white petals landed in her hair, but Chen Zhiyi didn't notice. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw someone walking towards her from the side.

"Xiao..." She had just opened her mouth when Xiao Zhongxuan reached out and plucked a petal from her hair. "There's something in your hair."

"Thanks."

“Madam,” Xiao Zhongxuan suddenly took a step, instantly closing the distance between them, bent down, and looked at her with a smile, “My heart and eyes are only for you, you really…”

"You don't intend to show me any mercy?"

The gentle voice fell, as if lighting a fire next to her ear, instantly staining her fair earlobe with blood.
