Qin Ma's head was buzzing. Suddenly, she thought of the old and new scars on her arm and her body, which hadn't recovered even after being back for so long. Her mouth opened wide, but she couldn't utter a single word.
Lin Qingwan clenched her fists to suppress her anger and pushed Qin Ma away, saying, "I don't need your help."
Qin Ma stood frozen in place, watching helplessly as she walked up to Prince Jing and respectfully bowed and kowtowed. Prince Jing bent down to help her up, his smile indeed strange and cold.
"I knew you would come." Zhao Yan's lips were close to her ear, his hot breath making her heart race as always.
"The prince protected Qingwan time and again, Qingwan..."
"No need for thanks, and I don't want your gratitude."

Lin Qingwan's eyes were brimming with uncontrollable emotions. A voice in her heart urged her not to care about his purpose or the consequences. "You don't have many days left to live, why not have a good time?"
"I..." Her lips parted slightly, the words stuck in her throat.
Zhao Yan then said, "Don't be afraid, I only have one request."

Gao Ying looked displeased. "The Crown Prince's men are watching Father's investigation of Jiang Mingyun. How can I not panic? Jiang Yanwan, I'm here to stand up for you, and you're just laughing at me?"
"Jiang Mingyun is an idiot and a madwoman. She will definitely throw me up."
Jiang Yanwan said unhurriedly, "Miss Gao, Jiang Mingting is counting on Young Master Gao to get ahead. Do you think he wants his sister or his future?"
Gao Ying suddenly realized, "That's right! As long as my brother puts pressure on Jiang Mingting to warn Jiang Mingyun not to involve me, that will solve the problem!"
Jiang Yanwan smiled, "How could I let Miss Gao be in danger?"
