Even after leaving the courtyard, Linglong was still pouting, looking unhappy. She couldn't help but say to Wenfeng:

"What exactly happened to Miss?"

"We don't even know who that Jinzhu is, yet Miss trusts her so much."

She felt that the young lady really cared about Jinzhu, no less than she cared about her and Wenfeng. However, she and Wenfeng had been by the young lady's side since they were young, while Jinzhu had only been there for a few days.

Wen Feng was more composed and insightful than Linglong. She spoke:

“That Jinzhu is capable, it’s normal for Miss to value her.”

"Things are different now than before, so you need to control your temper."

“In this vast manor, Miss can only rely on us. You know what kind of people the Zhou family are.”

Hearing this, Linglong calmed down and bit her lip, saying:

"I know it's difficult for you, Miss."

"Wenfeng, I think Miss has changed a lot."

Putting everything else aside, the series of designs left Linglong speechless; she had never known that her young mistress could be so patient.

"They forced us into this."

The thought that her young mistress's reputation was ruined and she could only submit to that eunuch made Wen Feng feel heartbroken.

There's no good in this family this week.

Inside the room, Jinzhu took a blood sample from Yuan Zhao, then gently smelled it, a knowing glint in her eyes.

"No wonder!"

"How exactly is my blood different from that of ordinary people?"

Seeing her knowing expression, Yuan Zhao quickly asked.

"You must have consumed golden lotus since childhood, so your blood naturally has detoxifying properties."

"Antidote?"

Yuan Zhao was taken aback, then shook his head:

"impossible."

If her blood could truly cure the poison, how could she have had her face disfigured in her past life?

Suddenly realizing that Jin Zhu was responsible for disfiguring his face, Yuan Zhao gave Jin Zhu a strange look and said:

Do you have any drugs that can disfigure someone?

As she spoke, she described the symptoms she had experienced in her past life.

Jinzhu shook her head:

"I don't have the kind of weapon you're talking about. When I strike, it's always to kill."

"However, I can prepare it if you need it."

Just like how they dealt with Zhou's father and Bai Mianmian before, they drugged them without them even realizing it, and afterwards, no trace of it could be found.

Upon hearing Jinzhu's words, a thought suddenly flashed through Yuanzhao's mind.

Could it be that in her past life, Bai Mianmian wanted her to die, but because of her special constitution, she didn't die in the end, only her face was disfigured?

She presented her hypothesis to Jinzhu, who thought for a moment and then said:

"Very likely."

"Although the blood in your body can detoxify, it cannot completely detoxify; it can only weaken the toxicity."

"For example, it's normal for a lethal drug to only cause disfigurement in your case."

I see!

Yuan Zhao couldn't help but laugh at herself. She had thought that Bai Mianmian and Zhou Shiyuan had shown mercy, but it turned out that wasn't the case.

They had long intended to kill her, but because they failed to kill her with poison, they allowed her to live on for so long.

After she was disfigured, her father and brother became increasingly anxious and often invited famous doctors to treat her. Presumably, Bai Mianmian and Zhou Shiyuan were afraid of being discovered, which is why they did not harm her again.

After her father and brothers were beheaded, Zhou Shiyuan and his group had no more worries, so they chose to drown her in a pond to take her life.

So that's how it is!

Yuan Zhao laughed with a sense of sorrow.

It turns out that they had been plotting to kill her since so early on, but she was completely unaware of it and still regarded them as her good sisters and husbands. She was truly foolish.

Jinzhu didn't know what Yuanzhao was laughing about, but the smile made people feel sad and depressed.

She wasn't a talkative person; she was only interested in poison. Having thought of what she wanted to say, she spoke:

"So you're using blood to nourish that person who's been poisoned by the cold?"

Upon hearing Jinzhu's words, Yuan Zhao thought to himself, "Oh no!"

Yesterday, she actually forgot to tell Rong Ruo about Jin Zhu.

Qingzhu must have already informed Rongruo?

Given that fiend's nature, he probably wouldn't leave Jinzhu alive, and Yuan Zhao's expression became anxious.

The more Yuan Zhao learned about Jin Zhu's abilities, the less he wanted to let her leave.

With such a helper by her side, she can save herself a lot of trouble.

How can we beg that evil star to spare Jinzhu's life?

Yuan Zhao fell into deep thought!
