But I couldn't bear to part with it.
So they could only keep boiling it out like oil.
In just a few days, she lost a lot of weight.
The news of Shen Mengyin poisoning Old Madam Shen quickly spread throughout the capital.
People from the Marquis of Jianning's residence came to annul the engagement, and the betrothal gifts were also taken back.
Upon hearing this, some people cursed Shen Mengyin for being heartless and cruel, while others said that it takes two to tango.
Only Huo Fanshuang saw through the phenomenon to the essence.
On the day Shen Qiyin was on her way to give Huo Chenzhou acupuncture, she ran into him. Huo Fanshuang immediately asked her, "Did your sister really poison the old lady?"
"Otherwise what?"
“Before, some people were talking about you behind your back at Lingyan Temple. I didn’t believe it at first, but now that the Shen family has had another accident, you are the only one who is unscathed. I really can’t understand it.”
Because of the fact that she had spoken up for him in the past, Shen Qiyin wanted to bear with her almost inexplicable questioning, but in the end she couldn't help but reply: "If you can't figure it out, eat more pig brains to nourish yourself."
"You..." Huo Fanshuang said with displeasure, "You are absolutely despicable! No wonder they all talk about you like that behind your back!"
"So what happened?"
"You...you're not ashamed at all?"
"They should feel ashamed for gossiping behind people's backs, otherwise why don't they say it to their faces?"
Huo Fanshuang was speechless.

Huo Fanshuang suddenly shouted from behind her, "I wanted to help you!"
Chen Xiyin paused in her steps.
Huo Fanshuang walked to her side, tentatively took her hand, and continued, "The Shen family is not of high social standing, but you have managed to get to where you are today through your own abilities, which is truly remarkable."
“I’ve heard some things about you, and I know that you were neglected and ignored in that family, but no matter what, they are still your family.”
"What will outsiders think of you if you plot revenge like this?"
"It's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester. Forgive others when you can. Let's stop now."
This long-winded talk made Shen Qiyin laugh: "Are you alright?"
"I……"
"If you have nothing to do, find something to do so you won't be so idle." After saying that, Shen Qiyin said "Oh" and added, "Or get a lotus throne to sit on in front of the General's Mansion, so that the local people don't have to travel a long way to the temple to worship the Bodhisattva."
As soon as she finished speaking, a cold, emotionless voice suddenly rang out in mid-air: "You are the worst group of all the players I've ever guided... the worst one of them!"
