In the VIP ward of the hospital.
Luo Xiaoyi woke up, but she still felt very heavy. She tried for a long time but couldn't move her body. She couldn't even sit up.
At this moment, Butler Zhao came in. "Young Madam, you're awake. Let me help you." Butler Zhao had a kind face and gave people a very warm feeling. In fact, Luo Xiaoyi felt that he was much better than her adoptive father.
"How did I end up in the hospital? What happened?" Luo Xiaoyi asked, puzzled. She suddenly remembered that day when she was chatting with Li Qianrui in her villa. Suddenly, she had a terrible stomachache, and then she knew nothing more.
Butler Zhao helped Luo Xiaoyi sit up, and two female caregivers quickly came to help from either side, so Butler Zhao let go of her.
"You've been poisoned. Li Qianrui and Luo Bin brought you to the hospital, and Young Master Ou arrived shortly after and took care of you all night. He just left because of an emergency at the company," Butler Zhao said respectfully.
"Poisoned? Who poisoned me? No wonder my stomach was hurting so badly that day!" Luo Xiaoyi found this matter truly terrifying and was determined to find the culprit. She thought the person who had tried so hard to harm her was gone, but how did they reappear? Who was it this time?
"They haven't found anything yet. Young Master Ou has already arrested and interrogated Li Qianrui and Luo Bin, who were at the scene, but they haven't gotten anything out of them." Butler Zhao's tone was somewhat worried. Qianrui was his goddaughter, so delicate and frail. He wondered how she was doing.
"What? Arrest them? Luo Bin and I aren't related by blood, but we're closer than family. He's practically my only family now. How could he harm me? And Li Qianrui, she's gentle and kind, she doesn't seem like the type to harm anyone. Besides, why would she harm me? There's no reason."
Luo Xiaoyi scratched her head, completely baffled. She really couldn't figure out who the real murderer was. She had some grudges against Zhou Meina, but although Zhou Meina was arrogant and domineering, it was all talk. She wouldn't actually kill someone, would she?
Otherwise, she would have offended Zhou Meina long ago, and Zhou Meina wouldn't have waited until now to take action.
“Yes, I also think Qianrui is not the murderer. She is such a kind child. You saved her life, how could she harm you?” Butler Zhao quickly said to her, hoping that she could persuade Young Master Ou to spare Qianrui. If she continued to be tortured like this, Qianrui would die.
"Yes, I'll have a good talk with Young Master Ou." Luo Xiaoyi also felt that Young Master Ou had arrested the wrong person, but didn't she not want to see Young Master Ou anymore? How did she get involved in Young Master Ou's life again?
However, this matter cannot be ignored, as Luo Bin is still in Ou Shao's hands.
Qianrui also needs to be rescued. She has just recovered a little from her illness. Staying in that dark, secret room and being interrogated, what if something happens to her?
Then I'll leave Ou Shao once this matter is resolved.
"Thank you, Madam, but I don't know if Young Master Ou will agree. He's been incredibly irritable these past few days, and we're all afraid of him. If we fall into his hands, we'll be in big trouble," said Butler Zhao, still shaken. Luo Xiaoyi had really angered Young Master Ou.
Butler Zhao thought to himself, Luo Xiaoyi is too naive. She thinks that if she doesn't bow down to Young Master Ou and doesn't try to please him, how could Young Master Ou, with his aloof personality, release Qianrui just because of her words?

"What's wrong? Is he having trouble at work?" Luo Xiaoyi asked, puzzled.
"No, everything in the company is operating normally." Butler Zhao thought to himself, "It's clearly because of you, why are you keeping me in suspense?"
"Oh, what's the reason? It's not because of me, is it?" Luo Xiaoyi asked quietly. She felt that Ou Shao had bullied her, raped her, pushed her away, scolded her, and abandoned her. She should be the one who was angry, so why was he angry?
"Please forgive my boldness, young mistress." Butler Zhao was a butler who had passed the highest level exam. He spoke with great tact and was always respectful and polite to his master, never overstepping his bounds.
"Butler Zhao, please don't be so polite. In my eyes, you are especially kind and approachable. Just say what you need to say, I won't mind."
Luo Xiaoyi had a very approachable demeanor and never looked down on them, the servants. She always treated them sincerely and never showed any distinction between superiors and inferiors, which warmed the heart of Steward Zhao.
Unlike other women who became arrogant and carried away after being Young Master Ou's girlfriend for a few days, Luo Xiaoyi was not like them. She was not arrogant at all in front of the servants.
"Young Madam, Young Master Ou is angry entirely because of you! How could you be so ambiguous with your ex-boyfriend in front of him? That's a huge taboo! Let alone the proud and domineering Young Master Ou, any man would find it unbearable! You need to find a way to appease Young Master Ou. Right now, everyone at the company and at home is going crazy because of him. If this continues, they'll really go insane."
Butler Zhao had a very serious expression on her face, as if she had committed some heinous crime!
Luo Xiaoyi was truly filled with grievances. Although she was called the mistress of the house, she felt like a stepmother. Everyone sided with Young Master Ou and served him. They only saw one side of the story, but what about the other side?
She was raped, ridiculed, and abandoned by Young Master Ou—who knows any of this? She was truly suffering in silence, unable to express her bitterness. Moreover, this was Young Master Ou's territory.
So, she still has to try to please Young Master Ou?
She can't do it!
"I have my grievances too, but you don't know the whole story, sigh..." Luo Xiaoyi sighed, no one was more distressed than her.
Butler Zhao thought she was being incredibly pretentious. Being liked by such a noble and perfect young master Ou was something countless women would kneel and kowtow for. Why was Luo Xiaoyi putting on airs? What did she mean by that? Was this woman born to be young master Ou's nemesis?
Butler Zhao's face, already wrinkled at the corners of his eyes, was now almost crumpled into a ball of burlap; this girl was really giving this old man a lot of worry.
"Young Madam, women shouldn't be too assertive. Women should know how to use gentleness to overcome strength. If you keep putting on airs and refuse to bow down to Young Master Ou, how will you save Qianrui? She's still sick and so weak. She was originally advising you and Young Master Ou to get along well, but she's so unlucky to have run into this mess."
“You said she’s also my goddaughter. What am I going to do if she dies like this? I have no children, only this goddaughter. Young Madam, you once saved Qianrui’s life. Please save her one more time.”
Butler Zhao's almost pleading tone, his cloudy eyes filled with unusual sorrow, as he looked at her with such expectation, as if she were the only savior who could turn the tide. The sadness in the old man's eyes, the earnest expectation of a father for his children, instantly touched the softest spot in Luo Xiaoyi's heart.
