Mu Wanting was so angry that she couldn't speak. She ordered her men to throw Murong Rong onto Zhao Zhiyuan's bed and drug her again.
Seeing Murong Rong shamelessly climbing on him, Zhao Zhiyuan felt disgusted. Since it was time to talk to his family about divorcing his wife, he decided to say goodbye to Mu Wanting.
He arranged to meet Mu Wanting alone, and Mu Wanting, not wanting to arouse suspicion, brought Shen Xinglan along as well.
When Zhao Zhiyuan saw Mu Wanting, his eyes lit up, but when he saw Shen Xinglan, the light in his eyes instantly dimmed.
"Are you really not going to show me any mercy?"
Mu Wanting nodded: "Yes, I don't want you to have any misunderstandings. Even if I'm not with Shen Xinglan, I will never choose to be with you again."
Zhao Zhiyuan sighed, his eyes filled with pain.
"I never imagined that our relationship of so many years would be defeated by Shen Xinglan."
Mu Wanting shook her head. In fact, Zhao Zhiyuan had always lost to himself. If he had been kinder and more sincere to her in his previous life, then in this life, Mu Wanting would have found a way to be by his side no matter what.
However, this was the sin Zhao Zhiyuan committed in his previous life. In this life, Zhao Zhiyuan has been doing everything for her own good. This affection, which he pursued from afar, is something that many people find difficult to achieve.
But she won't change her mind because of this.
“Zhao Zhiyuan, you will meet many suitable people in the future. My heart is not with you. You don’t need to waste your precious time on someone who doesn’t love you.”
Seeing Mu Wanting's resolute words, Zhao Zhiyuan felt a pang of sadness, but he also chose to return.
At the very least, if he wants to pursue Mu Wanting, he should first clean up his own mess.
That evening, before Mu Wanting could prepare the antidote, the drug took effect. Shen Xinglan held her on the bed and treated her with great tenderness and care.
Then, he saw her lose focus several times, and his heart ached.
"What are you thinking about?"
Mu Wanting shook her head, and Shen Xinglan said.
"I'm sorry, Mu Wanting, we've been fooled by Murong Rong for so long."
Mu Wanting shook her head: "This is not something Murong Rong could do alone. Her mother was also involved. She is someone who could defeat even my mother."
However, even if there is some regret about a missed relationship, if you try to rekindle it, you will find that it is no longer the same feeling as before.
Shen Xinglan continued to work very hard, and in the end, Mu Wanting begged him while crying.
"Shen Xinglan..."
Shen Xinglan's breathing quickened. The scene from his dream had become reality, and he found Mu Wanting to be even more captivating than in his dream.
The two of them didn't go to sleep until dawn. When she woke up, Shen Xinglan had already brought over the food.
"I feel like you don't look well lately."
Mu Wanting nodded: "That's right. The longer you take this medicine, the more damage it will do to your body. I'm going to prepare the medicine today, so I won't be here all day. If you call me and I'm not here, please cover for me."
Shen Xinglan nodded, and Mu Wanting went behind the screen and entered the space.
She has all those medicinal herbs in her spatial storage, and because she has various modern equipment, it will be faster to prepare them.
The medicine actually works very slowly, so Mu Wanting added yellow broth and white broth to it to speed up the process.
With the help of her two older brothers, Mu Wanting quickly prepared the antidote and took it in her spatial dimension.
Then, Mu Wanting became dizzy and sweaty, and soon began to vomit again.
He vomited large mouthfuls of thick, black, foul-smelling liquid.
After vomiting for two days, Mu Wanting's complexion finally returned to normal from its deathly pale state.
It seems that the antidote for Jiao Dai, which uses poison to fight poison, is quite effective.
Once the symptoms completely disappeared, she had the strength to stand up, and then she regained her strength. When she circulated her internal energy, she no longer felt that sluggishness or heat.
Only then did she leave the space.
Shen Xinglan was pacing anxiously back and forth in the room.
When Mu Wanting saw him, she smiled at him.
"Thank you, I'm all better now."
In just two days, Mu Wanting knew without a doubt how much pressure Shen Xinglan would face from the officials.
Even if Shen Xinglan didn't want to admit it, she still had to say it.
"Su Yu also helped."
Mu Wanting hummed in agreement and said nothing more.
Mu Wanting told Su Yu and Ma Dazhuang that she was going to purchase supplies.
Shen Xinglan and Su Yu went along. Mu Wanting was sweeping up supplies when someone appeared in front of her, blocking her way. She accidentally bumped into him.
Mu Wanting quickly stepped back, but was supported by a pair of warm, large hands around her waist.
Are you alright?
That voice, isn't it Shen Xingchi's?
She looked up and, as expected, met a pair of smiling, almond-shaped eyes.
It's much better than Shen Xinglan's seriousness and indifference.
"You...elder brother."
Shen Xingchi's smile faded slightly.
"Judging from your rosy complexion, the poison must have been neutralized."
Mu Wanting nodded, and he said again, "Let's go, I've found a place, I'll take you there."
Mu Wanting was a little confused, but considering that Shen Xingchi hadn't harmed her along the way, she went with him.
Shen Xinglan was so angry that she could hardly breathe.
"Mu Wanting, aren't you going to wait for me?"
Mu Wanting said, "Let's go together."
Su Yu tactfully gave them two hours of free time.
When they arrived, they discovered that it was the Crown Prince's private treasury, which was stockpiled with a large amount of weapons and gold and silver.
