The rain gradually subsided, and the blooming flowers on the trees were knocked to the ground one after another. The fragrance of the flowers gradually disappeared into the air with the wind and ceased to exist.

Su Yan looked at the flowers on the ground outside the window, then turned to look at the two guards standing outside the door. They were talking to each other, and their voices were so loud that even through the door, Su Yan could hear them clearly.

"I heard that Miss Zhang Qingling was punished by the Third Prince and knelt in the rain for several hours. It's not easy to climb up the social ladder. It's better for her to stay at home and live an ordinary life." said a guard.

"Who said she wasn't? Zhang Qingling is pretty, but if she wanted to marry into a wealthy family, she shouldn't consider whether she is worthy of the marriage. If she doesn't despise me, I would be very happy to take her home and be a foot washer." Another guard echoed.

"You? I'm afraid you'll be kicked out before you even step into the Zhang family's door!"

"Go away! Go away! After what happened, who else but me would dare to marry her?"

"Hahahahahahahaha!! You're right!! But I do! That girl is quite pretty."

The person who spoke was someone sent by the palace, and he laughed at Qing Ling without restraint. Su Yan heard these words and stood up to open the door.

"Who allowed you to gossip like this? Shut up!"

The two men came to the Prime Minister's Mansion and saw Su Yan for the first time. They were angry and apologized immediately. She was the daughter of Prime Minister Su. Even if this status was ignored, she was also the concubine of the Third Prince and might become the Empress in the future. They could not afford to offend her.

Su Yan did not meet them. She then closed the door and looked up at the plum blossoms outside the window. She didn't know how Qingling was doing now... She wanted to go out to find Qingling. She wanted to know Qingling's situation, but the guards in the Prime Minister's Mansion had been strengthened recently.

In order to prevent Su Yan from running away or doing anything stupid, Prime Minister Su ordered the palace guards to surround the Prime Minister's Mansion and guard it in shifts day and night. As long as there was any movement in the mansion, the guards would know immediately.

Ling'er was also watched by the housekeeper day after day, for fear that some people would come out to cause trouble and ruin the wedding. Seeing that the wedding date was approaching, the wedding clothes from the palace were delivered to Su Yan, but Ling'er had not received any news from Qingling. She took a breath of cold air, and finally on the last day, she saw Wu Hai wearing the clothes of a palace guard and smiling at her.

Could this boy not smile so obviously in broad daylight? It would be terrible if he was discovered. It didn't matter to her, but if her lady married Li He, she would cry to death.

Wu Hai handed Ling'er a small note when no one was around, and Ling'er took it carefully and hid it in her sleeve. When it was time to deliver food to Su Yan, she had the opportunity to secretly slip it to Su Yan.

Su Yan opened the note and saw only one sentence written on it: Sister-in-law, don't be afraid, I'm here.

Su Yan held the note tightly in her palm, clasped her hands together and prayed, hoping that everyone would be safe.

Si Bai looked at the palace physician and said meaningfully.

"Have you seen carefully? There is really no way to save Miss Zhang."

Two days ago, Zhang Run was released after searching Zhang's house but no evidence was found. His daughter fell seriously ill due to the punishment. The imperial physician was summoned to Zhang's house by Si Bai early in the morning. Under the pretext of sympathizing with Mr. Zhang's injustice, he came to check on his daughter's condition. An imperial physician stepped forward and said.

"Young Miss Zhang is dying, judging from her pulse and face."

"Yeah, nothing can save her."

"How could that girl be like this at such a young age? It must be fate."

"Stop talking, this is the end of it. Remember not to tell anyone, otherwise..." Si Bai's expression suddenly changed, and that gentle face suddenly became chilling. With murderous intent in his eyes, the doctors quickly promised to keep their mouths shut and not tell anyone. Si Bai changed back to that gentle face and asked the doctors to go back and rest.

Li He valued Qing Ling so much that he had to prevent him from waking up during the wedding. He would not let anyone know that Qing Ling was going to die of illness. Si Bai looked at the invitation in his hand and wondered whether he should invite Qing Ling to attend Su Yan's wedding. If he could make her so angry that her illness worsened again, would she be willing to die?

Si Bai smiled playfully. Qing Ling seemed to like Li He very much. How stupid! I would never do such a stupid thing. As expected, even if a person is reborn, his brain cannot become smart. In the end, I will personally send her off and find a place where no one is around to let her die miserably. What a good plan! Thinking of this, Si Bai's smile deepened, which was creepy.

At night, Zhang Run looked at the invitation in his hand with displeasure. It specifically mentioned that Qingling had to attend alone. Qingling was ill and her body could not stand the stimulation. He did not know what Li He was going to do. Was he really going to piss Qingling off to death? Lin Zhi looked at the things in Zhang Run's hand with a worried look on her face. Su Yan must be feeling bad now, as well as Qingling and Lin Mo. She still hadn't figured out why Li He changed his mind so quickly and why he treated Qingling like this...

Qingling walked out of the room. Her face was pale and she looked obviously thinner than in the past few days. Qingling walked to the door of Zhang Run and Lin Zhi, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to them three times.

She had never experienced the love of her parents. It was Zhang Run and Lin Zhi who gave her the care, tolerance, and endless love. They would let her act up and then whisper to her that all of this was wrong. They had never beaten her since she was a child and would cook many delicious foods for her. She didn't know when she would see you again after this separation, and she didn't know if she could return safely. If she could see you again, she would definitely apologize to you.

Qing Ling stood up and looked at Zhang Run and Lin Zhi's backs again, then turned around and left resolutely.

Qingling quietly walked to the back door without telling anyone, but she didn't expect that Jiang Siyi was already standing at the door, which really scared her.

"Why, are you feeling guilty?"

Jiang Siyi looked at Qingling with that harmless, yet infuriating face. His eyes were so beautiful that they seemed to be shining through. However, now was not the time to appreciate the beautiful scenery. She had more important things to do.

"Brother Jiang, why are you running here so late at night instead of sleeping?" Qingling said.

"I have a patient who ran away in the middle of the night. I came out to check on him. If he died, it would be a violation of medical ethics."

What Jiang Siyi said was unimportant, but Qingling felt that every word he said was heartbreaking. After all, the man had saved her twice, and if he died, it would indeed damage his medical ethics.

"I'm sorry, Brother Jiang, but I have something I have to do. I'm sorry for causing you trouble. If I come back in the future, I will definitely apologize to you."

"Have you really decided?"

"Ah."

Qingling's face was pale. A stranger would have known at first glance that she was a sickly woman who looked like she would not live long. However, her firm and clear eyes made it impossible to refuse her.

"Okay. Take care Qingling."

"You too, Brother Jiang."

Not long after Qingling left, Zhang Run and Lin Zhi walked out of the room and went straight to Qingling's room. Lin Zhi carefully picked up the letter that Qingling wrote to them. Her red eyes could no longer hold back her tears. Crystal clear tears rolled onto the letter, wetting the words on it. Zhang Run gently patted Lin Zhi's trembling shoulders.
