She thought to herself.
As the maid walked in, the sound of a vase breaking suddenly rang out in the quiet courtyard.
Qiu Yanshuang was startled, thinking that Jiang Ling had knocked over the vase while struggling. Afraid of something going wrong, she wanted to help control her and walked quickly inside. Before she could see what was going on inside, she only called out one word of the maid's name before her eyes went black and she lost consciousness.

Jiang Ling followed Zhou Jing'an as they crouched down and walked across the rockery, then turned a corner and walked onto the main road. The two walked towards the flower hall, speechless for a moment.
"Mr. Zhou, do you recognize that drug?" Jiang Ling spoke first. "Where can you get it?"
Zhou Jing'an was slightly stunned. He didn't expect her to say this.
"What's your guess?"
Jiang Ling shook her head. "Qiu Yanshuang and I have no relationship, and we have no grudge against each other. I don't know why she wants to harm me, so I find it strange."
She paused for a moment, then spoke slowly, "Although Ling'er is a boudoir lady, she's not a fool. Shen Qingru tried to kill me twice. She's the daughter of a civil servant, yet she was able to order a murderer to commit suicide by poisoning. If she wasn't raised by Lord Shen, then there must be some other secret.

Zhou Jing'an looked at her and said, "Miss Jiang is not as the rumors say."
His voice was soft and seemed to contain a hint of teasing. "He has beautiful handwriting, is calm and composed in the face of difficulties, and is very smart and intelligent. This really surprised Zhou."
His light gaze fell on Jiang Ling, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, his eyes were gentle, and seemed to contain a faint smile.
When Jiang Ling looked at him, she felt that the bleakness of autumn was reduced a little, turning into a gentle spring breeze, bringing boundless warmth.
His fingers stroked his sleeves, his heartbeat quietly quickened. Zhou Jing'an and Jiang Ling looked at each other, and his ears felt hot and he felt dizzy.

Jiang Ling raised an eyebrow.
What? She didn't react at all after being teased, but he felt embarrassed first?
