Qin Wenyuan closed his eyes silently and endured this ordeal without resistance.

A complex emotion flashed in Sheng Yunrong's eyes. She slowly approached Qin Wenyuan. The deep eyes that had once fascinated her were now filled with a trace of sadness. She gently stroked his cheek, as if she was comforting a wounded child.

"Qin Wenyuan, why are you always so stubborn?" Sheng Yunrong's voice was soft but with a hint of helplessness, and a trace of concern flashed in her eyes.

Qin Wenyuan trembled slightly and opened his eyes with difficulty. His eyes, which had once sparkled, now looked a little dim. He tried to struggle to sit up, but because he was too weak, he fell back onto the bed.

"Miss Sheng, I..." Qin Wenyuan's voice was weak and his lips were as pale as the withered plum blossoms in winter.

Sheng Yunrong gently shook her head, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes: "Don't say it, I know the pain in your heart. But do you know? The pain in my heart is no less than yours."

A hint of surprise flashed in Qin Wenyuan's eyes. He didn't seem to expect Sheng Yunrong to express her feelings so bluntly.

"Miss Sheng, I..." Qin Wenyuan wanted to say something but was interrupted by Sheng Yunrong.

"Qin Wenyuan, you were my husband, and we had a wonderful time together. But things change, and we ended up on different paths." Sheng Yunrong's eyes flashed with determination, and she continued, "I know that you can't let go of the woman named Liu Ruoyan in your heart. But I want to tell you that I don't blame you."

A hint of gratitude flashed in Qin Wenyuan's eyes. He tried to struggle to sit up, but Sheng Yunrong gently held him down.

"You don't have to be like this. I'm here to tell you today that I'm leaving the Sheng Mansion." Sheng Yunrong's voice was calm, but it revealed an unspeakable determination.

Qin Wenyuan's pupils suddenly contracted, and he looked at Sheng Yunrong in shock: "You want to leave Sheng Mansion? Why?"

Sheng Yunrong smiled gently, with a trace of sadness in her eyes: "Qin Wenyuan, do you know? Over the years, I have been living in the shadow of the Sheng Mansion. I once thought that I could change everything with my own strength, but reality made me realize that I was wrong."

A complex emotion flashed in Qin Wenyuan's eyes. He looked at Sheng Yunrong, and an indescribable emotion surged in his heart.

“Miss Sheng, I know I can’t make up for the mistakes of the past, but I am willing to spend the rest of my life making it up to you.” Qin Wenyuan’s voice was low and firm.

Sheng Yunrong smiled gently, and a gleam flashed in her eyes: "Qin Wenyuan, you are always like this, making people feel helpless. But you know what? I have decided that I will leave Sheng Mansion and find my own happiness."

Qin Wenyuan's eyes flashed with despair, and he tightly grasped Sheng Yunrong's hand: "Miss Sheng, please stay. I am willing to give up everything just to ask you to stay."

Sheng Yunrong shook her head gently, and a trace of determination flashed in her eyes: "Qin Wenyuan, I have made up my mind, and I will not change my mind. But I will remember your kindness to me and bless you."

Qin Wenyuan looked at Sheng Yunrong's departing back, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes.

…

With the help of Tu Subo, Sheng Yunrong staggered back to the Sheng Mansion. Officials and servants in the mansion came out to greet her. Seeing Sheng Yunrong in such a state, they all showed a look of doubt. Sheng Yunrong suppressed the grief in her heart, tried to maintain a dignified smile, nodded to everyone, and walked inside.

Sheng Yunrong returned to her room, took off the disguise on her face, and tears flowed like a spring. Seeing this, Tu Subo gently patted Sheng Yunrong on the shoulder and comforted her: "Miss Sheng, don't be too sad. Things have already happened, and we must face it bravely."

Sheng Yunrong raised her head, with a determined light in her eyes: "Su Bo, you are right. How can I, Sheng Yunrong, be defeated by such a setback? I want everyone to know that the eldest lady of the Sheng family is not easy to bully!"

Tu Subo smiled and nodded, saying, "Miss, don't worry, I will always be by your side and face this together."

Sheng Yunrong wiped away her tears and said to Tu Subo, "Subo, go and help me find out the truth of this incident. I always feel that there must be something strange behind this incident, and it is definitely not just an accident."

Tu Subo responded and turned away. Sheng Yunrong calmed down and began to think about how to deal with this crisis.

Not long after, Tu Subo brought back a shocking news: this accident was not accidental, but someone did it on purpose. Sheng Yunrong's face changed when she heard this, and she immediately thought of someone - Sheng Yunjiao, the second young lady of the Sheng Mansion.

Sheng Yunrong summoned her trusted maid Xiao Cui and asked, "Xiao Cui, do you know what Sheng Yunjiao is doing recently?"

Xiao Cui replied cautiously: "Miss, the second young lady seems to be colluding with some external forces recently, trying to usurp the family property."

Sheng Yunrong sneered: "It was indeed her. She thought she could bring me down with this little trick. She is too naive."

Sheng Yunrong decided to meet Sheng Yunjiao in person to uncover her true identity. She came to Sheng Yunjiao's room and pushed the door open. Sheng Yunjiao was having a secret conversation with a strange man, and they were both startled when Sheng Yunrong suddenly broke in.

Sheng Yunrong looked at Sheng Yunjiao coldly and said, "Second sister, what are you doing?"

Sheng Yunjiao managed to calm down and said, "Sister, I was just chatting with some friends. You misunderstood."

Sheng Yunrong sneered: "Misunderstanding? I clearly heard you guys plotting to usurp the family property. Do you think I will let you go?"

Sheng Yunjiao's face changed and she said angrily: "Sheng Yunrong, what qualifications do you have to blame me? Do you think you are the heir of the Sheng Mansion? I tell you, I am the real eldest lady of the Sheng Mansion!"

A trace of anger flashed in Sheng Yunrong's eyes. She raised her hand and slapped Sheng Yunjiao loudly: "Sheng Yunjiao, you are looking for death!"

Sheng Yunjiao covered her cheeks, a trace of fear flashed in her eyes. She didn't expect Sheng Yunrong to act so decisively. Sheng Yunrong looked at her coldly and said, "Do you think you can usurp the family property by colluding with outsiders? I tell you, the world of Sheng Mansion belongs to me, Sheng Yunrong, and no one can take it away!"

Sheng Yunjiao knew that she was doomed to fail. She glared at Sheng Yunrong and said, "Sheng Yunrong, just wait. I will make you regret what you said today!"

Sheng Yunrong smiled disdainfully and said, "Then let's wait and see."

Sheng Yunrong left Sheng Yunjiao's room and felt much better.

At the banquet, Sheng Yunrong skillfully dealt with various occasions and won everyone's praise. At this moment, a man in black suddenly broke into the banquet, holding a sharp sword in his hand, pointing directly at Sheng Yunrong.

Everyone was shocked, but Sheng Yunrong remained calm. She looked at the man in black coldly and said, "Do you think you can scare me like this? How can I, Sheng Yunrong, be defeated so easily!"

A trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of the man in black, and he rushed towards Sheng Yunrong, brandishing his sword. Sheng Yunrong quickly dodged and summoned the servants to subdue him.
