Tang Jinghong looked straight into Princess Changle’s eyes. The rejection and rejection in his eyes were obvious. “Yes, so please leave quickly.”

Tears welled up in Princess Changle’s eyes, her grievance reaching its peak. “Is she really that great? So great that you keep rejecting me over and over?”

“Yes, she’s the best girl in the world,” Tang Jinghong said coldly. “You’re a princess, born into nobility. Please, don’t demean yourself by coming here again.”

Princess Changle gazed at Tang Jinghong, baffled. “Jinghong, how can any girl be better than me?”

Tang Jinghong did not say anything.

Trying to negotiate, Princess Changle swallowed her pride. “Since you can’t part with her, I can accept her being a concubine. Just marry me first, and after that, you can marry her.”

Tang Jinghong was speechless. Had the princess lost her mind?

“Please leave, Princess. I won’t marry you. In this life, I’ll only marry one woman, and that is her.”

Tears streamed down Princess Changle’s face like pearls off a broken string. “Jinghong, I’ve compromised so much, what more do you want?”

Tang Jinghong’s gaze landed on the two red apple lamps. He did not want to talk to Princess Changle anymore. This princess had already gone crazy.

Princess Changle sat on the threshold of the study, hugging her arms, and began to cry bitterly.

Tang Jinghong extinguished the lanterns with a wave of his hand and left through the window. He couldn’t stand it anymore. If he could turn back time, he would have let someone else save the princess when she was injured.

Seeing this, a hint of resentment crept into Princess Changle’s heart. All because of her!

If only she didn’t exist!!

A sinister glint flashed in Princess Changle’s eyes. What she wanted, she must have!!!

Tang Jinghong headed to the Ning family.

“Yuting, let’s have a drink,” Tang Jinghong said, carrying two jars of wine. He flew up to the rooftop and sat down.

Ning Yuting followed closely behind and sat at the side. “General Tang, why are you free to come and drink with me?” His tone was a little teasing. Now that they were thinking about the Chu sisters, they resonated.

After a sip, Tang Jinghong said, “You can call me by my name.”

Ning Yuting smiled and rephrased, “Jinghong, what brings you here for a drink?”

Looking at the city lights, Tang Jinghong mused, “I thought you might want a drink.”

Ning Yuting extended his jar towards Tang Jinghong, and they clinked their jars together, drinking in unison, understanding each other without words.

Fengxin County • Lin Family.

After taking the medicine in the afternoon, Lin Yingmin fell into a deep sleep and hadn’t woken up until now. He didn’t even eat dinner.

The servant stood by his bed with a worried expression. “Young Master, what’s wrong?”

He was a beggar that Lin Yingmin picked up three years ago. Seeing that he was too pitiful, Lin Yingmin begged First Madam Lin to agree to let the beggar be his personal servant.

That was the first time he made a request. Coincidentally, Master Lin was also around, so First Madam Lin agreed with a loving expression.

The servant repaid his kindness by taking care of Lin Yingmin attentively.

Lin Yingmin lay motionless, the serene moonlight casting his handsome features in a ghostly pallor

The servant, legs numb from kneeling, sat down on the footstool, watching Lin Yingmin intently. “Young Master, please wake up. Don’t scare me.”

Lin Yingmin did not respond.

Tears streaming down his face, the servant lamented, “Why would such a good person like you fall ill with such a strange disease?”

Suddenly, the window blew open, and a shadow flashed by. The servant fainted.

The shadow was Chu Qingzhi, who rushed to Fengxin County to cure Lin Yingmin’s legs.

She checked his pulse and frowned, “He’s been poisoned too?”

Chu Qingzhi hovered her hand over Lin Yingmin, emitting a bright light that enveloped him. After a few breaths, Lin Yingmin spat out a mouthful of poisoned blood, and the silver needles in his legs shot out.

Chu Qingzhi gathered the needles, wrapping them in a handkerchief. These were nice needles. She’d give them to her disciples.”

Lin Yingmin woke up, stunned to see Chu Qingzhi. “You’re here…”

Chu Qingzhi cut to the chase, “How did you get poisoned?”

“Poisoned?” Lin Yingmin looked confused. “I didn’t know I was poisoned.”

Chu Qingzhi said, “The poison that the other party poisoned you will make you fall into a deep sleep, and your body will become weaker and weaker. In the end, you will die in your sleep. Think about it, who would harm you like this?” Lin Yingmin felt a chill. Who was targeting him secretly?

He led a low-key life, never stepping out unless necessary. He couldn’t fathom who he might have offended.

Chu Qingzhi said, “By the way, I’ve already taken out all the silver needles in your legs. You can walk after resting for a few days.”

Lin Yingmin touched his legs, trembling with disbelief. “I… I’ll be able to walk?”

“Yes.” Chu Qingzhi thought for a while and decided to remind him. “Your legs were harmed by someone else. The poisoning was also done by someone else. You have to be careful of the people around you.”

The coldness in Lin Yingmin’s heart had yet to dissipate. After hearing Chu Qingzhi’s words, he could not help but start to shiver. “Thank you, Miss Chu. I understand.”

Chu Qingzhi pulled out a painting from her sleeve, “Did you draw this?”

Lin Yingmin, surprised she had brought the painting, replied, “Yes, Miss Chu, I…”

She interrupted, “Whatever your reasons for drawing it, please don’t draw me again. I have a fiance. He might misunderstand, and 1 don’t want to upset him.”

These words were like a bolt from the blue. Lin Yingmin was stunned on the spot and his mind went blank.

Chu Qingzhi lit the painting on fire, watching it burn before his eyes. “I must go now. We’ll meet again.”

“Wait.” Lin Yingmin hurriedly stopped Chu Qingzhi.

Chu Qingzhi looked at Lin Yingmin. “Is there anything else?”

Lin Yingmin slowly grabbed the blanket under his hand and asked nervously, “Can we be friends?”

Chu Qingzhi said, “Sure. Not only can we be friends, but we can also do business together.”

In business, the more customers there were, the better.

Lin Yingmin was delighted. Then, he took out a stack of banknotes from under the pillow and handed it to Chu Qingzhi. “Miss Chu, this is the consultation fee.”

Chu Qingzhi took the 1,000 taels of silver and nodded before leaving.

Lin Yingmin looked in the direction of the window in a daze. He felt that the bright moonlight seemed to have dimmed a lot because of Chu Qingzhi’s departure. “Qingzhi, we’ll meet again soon..”
