"What, what truth, huh..."
Xie Lingqin said bitterly, "What truth in this world could be more tragic than what I am experiencing now?"
"You're in a terrible situation. Do you know how much my young master cares about you? You don't know. You know about the poison in your body, right? You need an antidote, don't you?"
Xie Lingqin's eyelashes trembled slightly.
Yes, speaking of which, without an antidote, it seems she's about to succumb to the poison.
"Do you know why the young master cares so much about you and likes you so much, and why he left last night? Even if he could tell you that he has found out that the poisoning of you back then, even if it wasn't done by the Crown Prince himself, must have been related to him."
As Lü Wu spoke each word carefully, Xie Lingqin's gaze finally settled on her. "So, Xu Yiran had already guessed all this."
"It wasn't a guess or a discovery; my young master has never given up on loving you for a single day. Fine, you love the Crown Prince and want to be with him. Even though the Crown Prince has been threatening him with the antidote, since you've made up your mind, my young master will endure all the pain, clear away all obstacles for you, and eliminate all your worries. That's why he withdrew from the Heavenly Mystery Hall. I never expected..."
"You said..." Xie Lingqin's eyes finally showed some emotion, and her lips trembled slightly, "You said that Yuwen Yao has been threatening Xu Yiran with the antidote."
"Yes, they threatened the young master not to approach you."
Lu Wu said, then smiled bitterly, "But I never expected that in the end, the Crown Prince would still be so despicable. Miss Ling Qin, you loved the wrong person and wronged the wrong person. Young Master is the one who is best for you."
Xie Lingqin did not answer. A gust of wind swept through her eyes, followed by a lifeless desolation. "As expected, it was my own stupidity and clumsiness that made me unable to see clearly. I was bewitched by male beauty, lost myself, and ended up like this."
Lü Wu seemed to want to say something more, but seeing Xie Lingqin like this, she couldn't bear it any longer and turned around. "Miss Lingqin, you should rest well. Call me if you need anything. It's not good to stay in the city for long. Once you're better, we should leave as soon as possible."
“Lvwu, it’s not that I’m ignoring Xu Guairan.”
Xie Lingqin suddenly spoke softly.
"I just feel guilty towards him. A single word of thanks is not enough to express my gratitude to him."
As soon as Xie Lingqin spoke, her eyes suddenly reddened.
Luwu was stunned for a moment, and then the door was closed.
Xie Lingqin remained in a daze for a long time.
...
As soon as Lü Wu stepped out of the courtyard and saw Xu Yiran standing there, her heart tightened slightly.
“I heard everything you just said to her.”
"Please forgive me, young master." Lü Wu immediately knelt down. "I only..."
"She is seriously injured, her internal poisoning has not been cured, and her heart is broken beyond repair. Talking to her like this now is like slowly torturing her, do you understand?"
Xu Yiran was angry; her words were filled with rage.
Luwu lowered her head even further, "This subordinate knows she was wrong. This subordinate will definitely protect Miss Lingqin well and will not dare to say another word."
"Remember, for every bit of pain she experiences, my heart aches tenfold."
"Don't worry, young master. The Crown Prince has threatened you in many ways, but I will only talk about the antidote."
"...Your actions alone are enough to wound her, to hurt her, and to stab her."
"...Please forgive me, young master."
"Step down."
"……yes."
...
The general's mansion was tightly shut, filled with an atmosphere of death.
Xie Yushu stood in Qingshui Pavilion with an indifferent expression.
Behind her, the beautiful Ye Zhisang also remained silent, not uttering a word. Such a major event had occurred in the capital the moment she appeared; it seemed that this time, it would be difficult for her to get married again.
In the courtyard, all the maids were still cleaning and doing their jobs. They looked at Xie Yushu standing there, and apart from a sad expression, they didn't know what to say.
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps sounded outside the courtyard.
The person in the lead, General Xie, strode in, glanced at Xie Yushu, and said, "Steward Xie, have someone seal off Qingshui Pavilion."
"What?"
Xie Yushu looked at General Xie with a bewildered expression, somewhat incredulous.
Even though he had always known that General Xie and Xie Lingqin were at odds and had a grudge against each other, she was still his daughter. After her death, he said he would sever his father-daughter relationship with her, but now he even wanted to destroy the place where Xie Lingqin used to live.
"General, there's no need for that. Let the Qing Shui Pavilion stay here; it won't make any difference."
"I cannot allow such a vixen to harm us again. Everything about her must be destroyed."
General Xie said.
General Xie's face was filled with anger, and the veins on his forehead throbbed, as if mentioning Xie Lingqin had implicated him. Seeing that Xie Yushu remained motionless, he frowned and said, "Steward Xie, you are the steward of my general's mansion, not Xie Lingqin's steward."
The warning tone caused Xie Yushu's expression to change slightly.
"You're a bad person, I'm going to kill you."
In the air, a clear shout rang out, and Ning Yi suddenly appeared. If it weren't for the quick movements of the guards beside General Xie, General Xie would probably have been pierced through.
"You've gone too far! I am your father." General Xie ordered those behind him, "Take the young master away. He is not to leave the house without my order."
"yes."
Dozens of people stepped forward, but Ning retreated step by step, her small eyes filled with coldness and her face full of murderous intent.
"Hey, don't do that, Ning Yi."
Suddenly, Ye Zhisang spoke up, pulling Ning Yi aside with a smile. A warm smile appeared on her slightly round face. "Think about it, General Xie is your sister's father. If you kill him, your sister will be heartbroken."
Ning Yi looked at her, a hint of doubt flashing in her clear eyes, "Really?"
"Really, really."
