Anning: "How scary, Thunder, I'm so afraid..."
Thunder: "Don't be afraid, I'm here...be good..."
M: "I'm so sorry, Mr. Lei, Ms. An, I'm so sorry, I really didn't know it would turn out like this... I'm so sorry..."
M's apology did not earn Anning's forgiveness. He pressed on relentlessly, with each step linked to the next, all in an attempt to seize Anning's assets. Anning felt utterly disheartened. It turned out that no one could be trusted except for Leiting.
Anning: "M... I can't forgive you. These things really hurt me. Those thugs pointed guns at us, putting me and Leiting in danger. No matter how much you apologize, I can't forgive you."
Thunder: "It's one thing if you're just greedy, but if someone offered you money to kill Allen and Liao Qian, would you do it? Would you do it?"
Liao Qian: "Ah! You've reminded me. My hemorrhoids hadn't flared up for over two years, and then suddenly they flared up again. M, is this your doing...?"
M: "I...I..."
Allen: "Did you hurt Liao Qian? Tell me..."
Upon hearing that Liao Qian had been harmed, Allen's demeanor instantly turned icy, as if the entire castle had been plunged into an ice cellar. M's face was ashen. The medicine was finally served. Lei Ting took a sip first, confirming that it contained only Xu Changqing and peony bark, before feeding it to An Ning.
Liao Qian: "My people are in charge of preparing the medicine, so don't worry! Anning, you'll feel better after drinking the medicine, just bear with it a little longer..."
An Ning: "Um... I'm fine..."
Seeing that M remained silent, Allen gathered the family's nanny, cleaner, driver, gardener, and cook, who stood in front of Liao Qian and Allen in well-trained manner. M squatted on the ground, trembling.
Allen: "Unfortunately, there is a traitor among my people who has hurt my lover and two innocent friends. Tell me, what did she tell you? Tell me everything."
Everyone looked at each other, and then looked to Alan, the gardener, to speak first.
Gardener: "Yesterday afternoon, M suddenly asked me to plant tulips. She seemed to be in a hurry. I planted them. Then she asked me to move the last few pots of jasmine to the shelf, which I did."
Allen: "Very good. Anyone else who received special instructions from her or noticed anything unusual about her, speak up..."
Cleaning staff: "Yesterday I found M went to the oxygen supply system setup room. I don't know what she did, so I didn't dare follow her."
Allen: "Great, is there anything else?"
The chef said, "She was distracted just now and asked me to make kiwi juice, unlike her usual domineering manner..."
Allen: "OK, continue..."
The chef said, “Ever since Mr. Liao Qian came to our house, M gave me some kind of pill-shaped Chinese medicine to put in Mr. Liao Qian’s soup. I’ve tried it, and it’s not poisonous. It seems to be Liuwei Dihuang Pills from China.”
Allen: "Liuwei Dihuang Pills? What are they for?"
Thunder: "It's for kidney tonification, no wonder you two are so unrestrained, haha, M, why don't you put this stuff in your boss's food!"
Liao Qian: "Don't interrupt, you guys continue."
Allen's driver: "M told me to tell him about Mr. Liao Qian's whereabouts. I've never asked for anyone's whereabouts before. She said it was something the boss asked for."
Allen: "Hehe, so many things were only given special instructions by you after Mr. Liao Qian arrived, right?"
Everyone: "That's right."
Allen: "M, do you have anything else to say?"
M: "Alan, I accept the punishment, I accept the punishment, I beg you, please don't send me away, please don't..."
Allen sat down and comforted Liao Qian, acknowledging that his negligence had caused Liao Qian suffering.
Allen: "M, why did you put kidney-tonifying drugs in Liao Qian's food? Tell me."
Seeing that Allen was truly angry, M knew that there was no way to remain silent now that things had come to this point.
M: "He stole your affection and care from me..."
Allen: "He is my lover, and I hope you can take care of him as you would take care of him."
M: "But he... he's your lover, not mine. I found out he's in poor health and has a history of hemorrhoids. I just put some kidney-tonifying medicine in his food to make him suffer a little. I didn't mean to harm him."
Allen stood up and pointed at M, shouting.
Allen: "I can't believe you did these things, M. You've disappointed me so much. I hate you."
M: "No, Allen, give me another chance. I will atone for my sins properly. I will atone for my sins properly by your side. I will definitely atone for my sins properly."
The news of the sale caused An Ning Lei Ting to be in danger. Allen could punish her and forgive her, but she actually hurt Liao Qian. If Liao Qian's surgery goes wrong, Gu Li will also give him a blood transfusion. A series of chain reactions made Allen realize that M could not be kept. M begged for forgiveness and hoped to stay by Allen's side to atone for her sins. She hurt Liao Qian, and Allen would not give her that chance again.
Liao Qian: "M, you need to go to jail. It's not just because you bought and sold information and leaked privacy, but also because of the embezzlement of Castle funds. It's a considerable amount every month."
M: "Ah! You... Allen, you know..."
Liao Qian: "He not only knew, but also advised me that I must have had difficulties, otherwise I wouldn't have done this. It's just a pity that you have let Allen down."
It turns out that M had been embezzling money from the castle all along, and Allen had always known about it. The reason he didn't expose her was because M was doing such a good job that Allen couldn't live without her and didn't want to hurt M's feelings for money. He never expected that M would do so many bad things behind his back, not only buying and selling information but also daring to target Liao Qian, which completely touched Allen's sore spot. Allen closed his eyes and remained silent.
M: "Allen, I've given you all my money, I've given you all my money, please, please don't send me away, please..."
