Chi Jingyu also noticed that Shen Tangning had woken up, and he quickly asked with concern, "A-Ning, you're awake? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
However, she merely glanced at him wearily, then closed her eyes again, appearing unwilling to speak.
He felt like he was being pricked by needles, and he couldn't breathe. The doctor arrived quickly, examined him, and prescribed medicine.
Chi Jingyu personally supervised the preparation of the medicine and even personally fed it to her, but Shen Tangning showed great resistance. He was clearly angered and grabbed her chin, coldly interrogating her:
"What, you're planning to die for Chi Yan? Let me tell you, don't even think about it!"
She opened her eyes and looked at him, her eyes reddening, and the coldness in her eyes made his heart tremble: "Chi Jingyu, you can't stop me."
His fingertips trembled, and he knew in his heart that what she said was true. If Shen Tangning really had the will to die, he couldn't keep an eye on her all the time; there would be times when he wasn't around.
And since she was the kind of person who wouldn't give up until she achieved her goal, he really couldn't stop her.
But he absolutely, positively will not allow that kind of thing to happen again!
He calmed his tone, trying to conceal his true feelings: "You hate me? Then live well and see what happens to me."
He paused, a hint of threat in his voice, "And what about Second Uncle and Second Sister-in-law? With Chi Yan gone, no one can protect them. If the Third Prince wants to take his anger out on them..."
Shen Tangning's expression subtly changed; her eyes held hatred and resentment, which ultimately turned into compromise.
After drinking the medicine, she returned to her numb state. Chi Jingyu didn't want to see her like this, especially since it was because of Chi Yan, so he asked her:
"What do you want to do with her?"
He looked at Granny Tang, who jumped in fright, her face filled with terror: "Young Master..."
Shen Tangning glanced at the other person with a languid expression and a mocking tone: "What do your people have to do with me?"
Chi Jingyu seemed to be thinking, then slowly made a decision: "Then let's give him twenty lashes first, then drag him away to be sold."
He bought a contract with no conditions, so he has the right to dispose of it.
Tang Mama's pupils trembled; she never expected that someone who was always easy to talk to could be so ruthless.
To be honest, Chi Jingyu treated his servants quite well, which is why she dared to act so arrogantly. But she didn't expect that this time she had actually offended him.
"Young master, spare my life!" She struggled, but the guards gagged her and dragged her away.
Soon screams came from the courtyard. Shen Tang listened quietly, her heart at peace.
She remembered very clearly that it was Granny Tang who let Chi Jingyu in that night.
——
The illness was cured slowly, like pulling silk from a cocoon.
Shen Tangning caught a cold suddenly and was not walking properly.
Chi Jingyu shuttles between the imperial court and his villa, and also has to deal with Shen Ci from time to time, so he inevitably finds himself overwhelmed.
Shen Tangning calculated the time and realized it was time to make a run for it.
She had been seriously ill these past few days and hardly ever left her room, causing the guards to unconsciously lower their guard.
It wasn't actually that serious, but what Qinglan didn't know was that she would wake up in the middle of the night every night and deliberately open the window to let the wind blow in for a while.
As night fell, a sound of porcelain shattering suddenly came from inside the house. The guards rushed to the main courtyard and were shocked to see flames inside. They rushed in to put out the fire.
In a corner unnoticed by anyone, a window is open.
The guards rushed in, but seeing no one on the bed, they exclaimed in a low voice, "Oh no, the lady has run away!"
