"That day, Song's father happened to pass by that road. Seeing the abandoned child, he felt pity for him and took him home.

At that time, Song's father had just gotten married. When Song's mother saw Song's father coming back with a child, although she was surprised, she didn't say much. In this way, the couple raised him and named him Song Zhe.

"Then...what happened to Song Zhe's poisoning? Why did Lu Chen poison Song Zhe?"

Chen Xiaoru frowned, her eyes full of confusion. She stared at the system closely, with an imperceptible tremor in her voice, as if she was afraid of missing any details.

"Why did Lu Chen poison Song Zhe? You should ask the villain Xiao Jingyan about this."

The system paused, as if organizing its words. "Lu Chen was instructed by Xiao Jingyan. Xiao Jingyan is the current son of Pingyang Prince Xiao Ruize, and also the son of the wet nurse. The wet nurse's husband was a gambler who lost a lot of money. The gambling house came to collect the debt and the wet nurse had no choice but to find Xiao Jingyan and tell him his life story.

Xiao Jingyan didn't believe it, so the nanny found the man who took Song Zhe away and handed him to Xiao Jingyan to make him believe it. After hearing the man's description, he believed it and sent people to investigate. After finding out that Song Zhe was going to take the imperial examination, he bribed Lu Chen to drug Song Zhe.

"Then why didn't Jamel Xiao kill Song Zhe? Wouldn't it be a direct solution?"

Chen Xiaoru frowned even more and asked, her tone filled with anxiety and confusion, "Cutting the grass at its roots to prevent future troubles, isn't this the basic operation of a villain?"

"Xiao Jingyan said he wanted to see Song Zhe live a life worse than death. After all, sometimes life is worse than death."

The system said coldly, without a trace of warmth in its voice.

Chen Xiaoru couldn't help but gasp when she heard this. She widened her eyes and showed an expression of disbelief on her face. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing and just muttered to herself:

"I... am speechless. But having said that, your system is really good at playing. This plot, wow, it's absolutely amazing!"

Chen Xiaoru was chatting happily with the system when she suddenly heard footsteps approaching from afar. She looked up and saw Song's mother and Song Zhe walking back one after another.

"Xiaoru, what are you doing sitting here? Why don't you come into the house?" Song's mother's concerned voice interrupted Chen Xiaoru's thoughts.

Chen Xiaoru quickly stood up, a smile on her face, and walked over quickly. She affectionately took Song's mother's arm and said sweetly, "Mom, I'll be waiting here for you! What did the doctor say? How is my husband?"

"Okay, Zhe'er is really all better! The doctor said he's fine now and just needs to be nursed back to health!"

Mother Song smiled happily, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes relaxed. She gently patted the back of Chen Xiaoru's hand, her voice full of joy and relief.

"Really? That's great! I knew that good things would happen to my husband, and he would definitely get better!"

Chen Xiaoru cheered and jumped up excitedly, the smile on her face brighter than the sun. She turned to look at Song Zhe, her eyes sparkling, "Husband, are you really okay? That's great!"

Song Zhe stood aside, looking at Chen Xiaoru, who looked happier than himself, and shook his head helplessly. He coughed lightly, interrupting their celebration and said:

"Mom, I'm a little tired. I'm going to read a book first." After saying that, he walked towards the room.

"Okay, go ahead. Don't tire yourself out. I'll go burn some incense for your father and tell him the good news. Then we'll celebrate your recovery tonight! Xiaoru, if you have anything you want to eat, tell me and I'll make it for you!"

Song's mother's eyes followed Song Zhe's back, her eyes full of love and pride. The smile on her face became brighter, as if she had become ten years younger.

"Mom, I like anything. As long as it's made by you, I like it!" Chen Xiaoru said sweetly.

Mother Song looked at Chen Xiaoru, her eyes gleaming with love, and said softly, "Okay, go and accompany Zhe'er!"

Chen Xiaoru heard this and immediately nodded in response, with a bright smile on her face:

"Okay, Mom, I'll go right away." After saying that, she turned around and trotted in the direction Song Zhe left.

"Husband, wait for me!" Chen Xiaoru shouted as she ran, with a hint of urgency and coquettishness in her voice.

Song Zhe heard the call from behind, stopped, and turned to face Chen Xiaoru. He put his hands behind his back, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and waited patiently for his wife.

Chen Xiaoru quickly caught up with Song Zhe, her eyes full of joy. She naturally took her husband's arm, looked up at him, and said sweetly, "Let's go!"

The two walked into the room side by side. Song Zhe reached out and gently pushed the door, and it closed with a "creak".

As soon as the door latch fell, he turned abruptly, sprinted forward, and pressed Chen Xiaoru against the door. He placed his hands on either side of her cheeks, trapping her petite body firmly between him and the door. Song Zhe's eyes burned like fire as he locked onto Chen Xiaoru's gaze, his breathing rapid.

Chen Xiaoru's eyes widened in shock at his sudden action, her heart racing. She thought to herself, "I never thought the usually gentle and refined Song Zhe could have such a wild side. It really makes my heart race!"

Song Zhe lowered his head and pressed his lips fiercely against Chen Xiaoru's tender and tempting red lips. His kiss was filled with desire and passion.

Chen Xiaoru was stunned for a moment, then closed her eyes. Her hands slowly moved upwards, wrapping around Song Zhe's neck. Her lips parted slightly, passionately responding to her husband's kiss. Their breaths mingled, filling the air with a sweet scent.

Song Zhe pulled away slightly, stared at Chen Xiaoru's flushed cheeks, and panted softly, "Xiaoru, thank you."
