Chapter 48: Only Then Did I Realize the Suffering She Had (1/2)



Looking at Su Lingwei's pale yet relaxed face, Shen Mingzhao finally felt relieved, and the worry in his eyes also gained a touch of tenderness that was hard for others to notice.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Mingzhao stared blankly at Su Lingwei's weak yet clear smile.

Sunlight fell on her cheeks, which were damp with a light sheen of sweat.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and the curve of her lips was as soft as cotton, instantly striking his heart.

Only one sentence remained in his mind: She smiled at me.

The panic and worry from before had all turned into a dense, throbbing sensation. He even forgot to put his hands down, just staring at her blankly, the tenderness in his eyes impossible to hide.

"Second brother, don't worry, Sister Lingwei has just expelled the poison from her body, she's fine."

Shen Qingtang walked over, patted Shen Mingzhao on the shoulder, and said in a teasing tone, "If you keep watching, the girl will get embarrassed."

Shen Mingzhao finally snapped out of her daze, her ears turning red instantly. She quickly withdrew her hand, pretended to cough twice, but still couldn't help but steal glances at Su Lingwei.

Those around her who had previously questioned Shen Qingtang.

Seeing that Su Lingwei not only didn't collapse, but her complexion gradually improved, they all shut up. Just now they were thinking that Shen Qingtang was harming people, but now it seems that they were overthinking it.

Only Lu Jiaojiao, who was tied up to the side, looked at Su Lingwei with malice in her eyes and couldn't help but curse under her breath: "What's there to be proud of! She might be dead in a moment! She's so blind to believe that witch Shen Qingtang!"

Shen Qingtang gave her a cold look, her eyes filled with no anger, only icy coldness, like a poisoned knife, instantly chilling Lu Jiaojiao to the bone.

He swallowed the rest of his words.

But the hatred in her heart hadn't subsided, and she stubbornly shouted, "Don't glare at me! You've been harming people like this, you'll be punished by heaven sooner or later!"

"Hmm." Shen Qingtang simply responded calmly, too lazy to waste words with her, and turned around to continue helping Su Lingwei straighten her collar, her movements gentle.

Lu Jiaojiao was shocked by her coldness and trembled with anger, but dared not utter a sound. She could only clench her fists tightly, and the resentment in her eyes deepened.

Su Lingyu was also unwilling to give up, and muttered sarcastically from the side: "Hmph, you're laughing now, but you'll be crying when the poison takes effect! You didn't listen to your grandfather and insisted on drinking that damn herbal medicine. You're just asking for death!"

But as soon as she finished speaking, she saw Su Lingwei's face become rosier and rosier, her previous paleness and weakness gradually faded, and even her breathing became much more steady.

Su Lingwei could feel that the heavy fatigue in her body had disappeared, and even the dizziness that she used to experience occasionally was gone.

She spoke softly, facing the direction of Su Lingyu and Lu Jiaojiao.

Her voice was soft but firm: "I believe Miss Shen; she didn't harm me. But you all, who have been hoping for my death, don't you feel any remorse?"

Su Lingyu was speechless after being rebuked, and could only glare at her fiercely before turning her head away.

Grandpa Su looked at Su Lingwei's obvious improvement and a complex mix of surprise flashed in his eyes.

There was resentment, and a hint of barely perceptible malice.

Shen Mingzhao looked at Su Lingwei's cheeks, which had regained their rosy color.

With a huge weight lifted from my heart, I couldn't help but say, "You've just been detoxified and you're still weak. Let me help you to the side to rest for a while."

As he spoke, he carefully reached out his hand, afraid of hurting her.
