He favored his concubine and I cut off my wealth. Everyone in the mansion was in a panic.

As expected, what Huan'er brought should be news about Lin Xuefu.

When Huan'er ran to Mrs. Yanglinghou, she was already panting and her voice was broken, "Madam, aunt, she..."

Huan'er struggled to speak, and Mrs. Yanglinghou looked anxious. Fortunately, Huan'er finally said the next few words, "I'm awake!"

Mrs. Yanglinghou breathed a sigh of relief immediately, and her eyes could not hide the joy.

Asking Mother Zhang to place these new servants in place, Madam Yanglinghou walked quickly towards Fuyun Pavilion.

Halfway through, Xu Shi still had a shadow in his heart, so he came back and took Yangling Marquis with him.

Shen Qing glanced in the direction of Zi Yan and saw a cold look in her eyes, obviously disappointed that Lin Xuefu escaped.

…

Fuyun Pavilion.

Although Mrs. Yangling Hou looked eager, she still subconsciously resisted when she stepped into Fuyun Pavilion. She turned to look at Huan'er beside her and questioned: "Have all the snakes in Fuyun Pavilion been dealt with? ?”

Huan'er nodded, "Madam, don't worry. Guard Chen has just led people to search carefully three times inside and out. There will definitely be no omissions."

Mrs. Yanglinghou felt relieved and followed Yanglinghou one after another towards Lin Xuefu's bedroom.

When the two came in, they saw the house in a mess. Lin Xuefu was lying on the bed. Although she had woken up, there was no blood on her face, and her eyes were filled with unconcealable terror.

Mu Ziqian sat next to her, paying attention to his broken leg while comforting Lin Xuefu, "Don't be afraid, Fu'er, I'm here, and my cousin will protect you."

Hearing the familiar voice, Lin Xuefu's expression became slightly calmer, but her body was still shaking subconsciously.

Mrs. Yanglinghou looked at Doctor Liang who was still writing the medicine list and asked, "Doctor Liang, how is Xuefu?"

Doctor Liang looked up at her, his face slightly solemn, "It's not good. Although I have detoxified most of the snake venom in Aunt Lin's body, it still took a while. A small part of the snake venom has flowed to the heart, and Aunt Lin was frightened again." It’s too much, so I’m afraid I’ll have to stay in bed for a while.”

Hearing that the remaining poison in Lin Xuefu's body was not cleared, Mrs. Yanglinghou suddenly panicked, "Is there still any remaining poison? Will Xuefu's body be okay?"

"No, I've already prescribed the medicine. I'll take it for half a month to flush out the remaining poison, and then everything will be fine. However, I need to watch her more during this period. I'm afraid she will have nightmares from time to time. If she suddenly can't wake up, , you must come to Huichun Hall to find me."

Doctor Liang said this very seriously.

Mrs. Yanglinghou nodded quickly, "Doctor Liang, don't worry, I will definitely send someone to look after Xue Fu day and night."

Doctor Liang agreed, picked up his medicine box and stood up to say goodbye.

Mrs. Yanglinghou quickly asked Qinxiang to deliver it, and stuffed fifty taels of silver notes into her arms, indicating that they should be delivered to Dr. Liang as well.

At the same time, I was extremely glad that Dr. Liang was here, otherwise Lin Xuefu would have been in real danger.

Qinxiang sent Doctor Liang to the gate of Yanglinghou Mansion, secretly stuffed the banknote into Doctor Liang's hand, and then turned back to the house.

Doctor Liang turned his head and glanced at the plaque of Yanglinghou Mansion, with a hint of complexity flashing in his eyes.

Just now, he had recognized Lin Xuefu's identity. In other words, the previous serial poisoning incident of four members of a wealthy family came from the Yangling Marquis Mansion.

Just a few days after the incident subsided, another case of servant murdering the master came up. For a while, Doctor Liang really didn't know how to describe the Yangling Marquis Mansion.

…

At the same time, there was a private room on the second floor of Tingyun Tea House.

Shen Suyu sat on the chair with a cold face, looking at Chu Lingxi with eyes full of displeasure, "Why do you want to go back on your word?"

Pain flashed through Chu Lingxi's eyes, "Yuyu..."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Suyu interrupted him coldly, "Shut up! Don't call me that."

Chu Lingxi sighed helplessly, "I have no other intention, I just want to see you again."

Shen Suyu's response was cold and decisive, "But I don't want to see you, not in this life."

Chu Lingxi's face was full of hurt. After a long time, she struggled to speak out: "Does that lie make you hate me so much? Does it make you so reluctant to even see me?"

"yes."

There was a deathly silence in the box.

Seeing that Chu Lingxi stopped talking, Shen Suyu stood up straight away, "Third Prince, if there is nothing else, I will go back first. You are engaged after all. We are alone in the same room. If Miss Gu knows I'm afraid I'm going to get into trouble again."

After saying that, he walked towards the door.

However, just when Shen Suyu thought that today's episode was over, Chu Lingxi suddenly grabbed her wrist.

He looked into Shen Suyu's eyes and spoke seriously: "Yuyu, I have no engagement, and I don't want to marry anyone except you."

Shen Suyu didn't have any trouble in her heart. She looked down at his frank face, her lips slightly parted, "Do you not want to marry, or don't you want to marry?"

Chu Lingxi closed her eyes in pain, "Yuyu, you know I have no choice, can't you tolerate me this time?"

Shen Suyu smacked her wrist hard, but she didn't expect Chu Lingxi's force to be so strong that she couldn't shake it off. She could only endure the discomfort in her heart and said coldly: "The tolerance mentioned by the third prince is to allow me to share the same fate with others." Serve a husband and commit yourself to being a concubine? "

Chu Lingxi said nothing and acquiesced.

Shen Suyu smiled sadly, but what he said was extremely cold, "If this is the case, please forgive Suyu for not being able to tolerate it."

Not being a concubine is Shen Suyu's untouchable bottom line.

Chu Lingxi opened his eyes, his eyes gradually turned red, his voice was suppressed and helpless, "Yuyu, you don't know my situation, I must marry into the Gu family, otherwise not only me, but also my mother and the supporters behind me will die without a burial place."

He was carrying too much on his shoulders.

Looking at his struggling expression, Shen Shuyu's expression was also very serious, "I know that as the third prince, you are responsible for the lives of thousands of people, you have no choice."

Hearing Shen Shuyu's understanding, Chu Lingxi's eyes flashed with surprise, but Shen Shuyu's next words pushed him into a deeper abyss.

"But as a man, you should let me go. You know that you can't give happiness to the person you love, but you still force her to stay by your side. This is selfish."

The expression on Chu Lingxi's face froze instantly, and Shen Shuyu took this opportunity to directly shake off the palm that imprisoned his wrist.

Walking to the door, Shen Shuyu turned around and looked at Chu Lingxi, "Third Prince, this is the first time, and I hope it will be the last time."

After saying that, Shen Shuyu put on the veil on his head, pushed open the door of the box, and left without looking back.

Chu Lingxi stared at the beautiful figure, but he didn't look back until the figure disappeared.

Shen Shuyu's attitude couldn't be more obvious, but Chu Lingxi couldn't let go. Over the years, the responsibilities on his shoulders made him almost breathless. Almost everyone around him was something he didn't want, except Shen Shuyu, whom he wanted to hold on to at all costs.

But now, she has gradually left him.

Looking at the empty corner, Chu Lingxi's eyes were filled with gloom, "Yuyu, I won't let you leave me. Even if it's forced, I will keep you firmly by my side."
