After the whole family went crazy and criticized the movie "Read My Mind", the heroine

This proposal was responded and supported by the whole family. Everyone is looking forward to the future trip to Jiangnan to bring more joy and good memories. At this moment, they seem to be in the beautiful Jiangnan water town...

Under the moonlight, the laughter of the family spread throughout the courtyard, adding a warm and joyful atmosphere to this quiet night. They knew that no matter what difficulties and challenges they would encounter in the future, as long as they joined hands with each other, they would be able to move forward bravely and overcome every difficulty together!

When Chen Shuyin returned to the mansion, it was almost dusk. The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the bluestone slabs, stretching her shadow long, accompanied by the sound of light footsteps, echoing in the silent courtyard. She saw Gu Qingchen sitting on the stone bench with a troubled look on his face.

Gu Qingchen lowered his head, frowning, as if he was thinking about something. The teacup in his hand had cooled down, but he still held it in his hand, turning it unconsciously. His eyes revealed a little confusion and uneasiness, which was very different from his usual calm and steady image.

Chen Shuyin walked gently to his side and asked with concern in her tone: "Qingchen, what's wrong? You look like you have a lot on your mind."

Gu Qingchen raised his head, a flash of surprise in his eyes, and then he regained his composure. He pulled the corners of his mouth, trying to force a smile to hide his uneasiness: "Nothing, Shuyin, I'm just a little tired."

But Chen Shuyin didn't believe his words. She sat next to Gu Qingchen and looked straight into his eyes, as if to see through his heart: "We have known each other for many years. Can't I tell if you are okay? Tell me, what happened?"

Gu Qingchen avoided her gaze, lowered his head again, and said in a low voice: "It's really nothing, Shuyin, you don't have to worry."

After he finished speaking, he picked up the cooled teacup and took a sip.

Chen Shuyin sighed. She knew that Gu Qingchen was a proud person and would not easily show his vulnerability to others.

So, she changed her way of asking: "Qingchen, are we husband and wife?"

Gu Qingchen nodded, his voice a little hoarse: "Of course, you are my wife in name only."

"Then shouldn't couples support each other and overcome difficulties together?" Chen Shuyin continued to ask.

Gu Qingchen was silent for a moment, then raised his head, looked into Chen Shuyin's eyes, and took a deep breath: "Shuyin, I...I'm in some trouble."

At this moment, a breeze blew, and the leaves in the courtyard rustled, as if responding to Gu Qingchen's words. Chen Shuyin's heart tightened, but she also felt a little relieved, at least Gu Qingchen was willing to speak to her.

However, just as she was about to listen to Gu Qingchen's difficulties, he suddenly stood up, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I'll handle it myself."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the study, leaving Chen Shuyin standing there in a daze.

Chen Shuyin looked at Gu Qingchen's back and couldn't help but feel a headache. She knew that Gu Qingchen was an extremely strong-willed person and would not easily ask for help unless it was absolutely necessary. And now, although he opened his mouth, he suddenly took it back, which made Chen Shuyin more certain that the trouble he encountered must be very serious.

"Qingchen!" Chen Shuyin shouted, but Gu Qingchen did not turn back.

She stood there, watching Gu Qingchen disappear behind the door of the study. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the door of the study, reflecting his lonely shadow. Chen Shuyin took a deep breath and decided not to give up easily. She knew that Gu Qingchen needed her support and company even more at this time.

So, she walked towards the study and decided to face Gu Qingchen's predicament together. No matter how difficult the future was, she was willing to fight side by side with him and overcome the difficulties together.

Although Chen Shuyin was full of doubts, she did not expose Gu Qingchen's cover-up on the spot. She knew Gu Qingchen's pride and self-esteem, and she also understood that everyone has their own secrets and difficulties. However, her worries did not decrease at all, but became more intense.

As night fell, the moonlight sprinkled on the bluestone slabs of the mansion, casting mottled shadows of the trees. Chen Shuyin lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. She decided to go to the study to find out what secrets Gu Qingchen was hiding.

She quietly came to the study and hid in a dark corner. The light from the study shone through the window into the courtyard, illuminating Gu Qingchen's lonely figure. He sat at the desk, lowering his head in deep thought, not knowing what he was thinking about.

Chen Shuyin held her breath and carefully peeked into the study. Suddenly, she saw Gu Qingchen's body tremble violently, then he fell to the ground, twitching all over. His cheeks began to turn black, and he foamed at the mouth, looking like he was poisoned.

This sudden change shocked Chen Shuyin. She immediately rushed into the study, hugged Gu Qingchen tightly in her arms, and asked in a trembling voice: "Qingchen, what's wrong with you? What's going on?"

Gu Qingchen's eyes had become somewhat blurred. He looked at Chen Shuyin in a trance, and a bitter smile appeared on his lips. He said weakly, "This is the poison planted in my body by the royal family... They use this method to control me for a long time..."

Chen Shuyin was shocked when she heard this, and a trace of anger and confusion flashed in her eyes: "How could they do this? You are their relative!"

Gu Qingchen shook his head helplessly and sighed, "In the eyes of the royal family, family affection is far less important than power. As a hostage, I am destined to become a pawn in their hands..."

Chen Shuyin held Gu Qingchen's hand tightly, tears welling up in her eyes. She choked and said, "Qingchen, you must hold on! I will find a way to save you!"

Gu Qingchen smiled slightly, and said with the last bit of strength he had: "Shuyin, thank you... Meeting you is the greatest luck in my life..."

After saying that, he passed out. Chen Shuyin hugged him, tears rolling down like beads from a broken string. Her heart was filled with helplessness and despair, but at the same time, an inexplicable power surged up. She knew she couldn't just give up like this, and she had to find a way to save Gu Qingchen's life.

Chen Shuyin laid Gu Qingchen flat on the ground, carefully tilting his head to one side to prevent vomit from blocking his airway. She took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and began to think of countermeasures.

She first thought of going to a doctor, but she quickly rejected the idea. How could an ordinary doctor cure the poison given by the royal family? Moreover, if the news leaked out, not only would Gu Qingchen's life be in danger, but she herself might also be in danger.

Under the light of the study, Chen Shuyin flipped through the old book alone, looking for clues about the poison that Gu Qingchen was poisoned with. Her eyes were focused and determined, as if she was looking for a life-saving straw. Finally, on a certain page, she found the relevant record, and the book clearly pointed out the medicinal materials needed to solve this poison.

She gently closed the book and took a deep breath, as if she saw hope. However, she also knew that this task was not easy and required a lot of effort from her. However, for Gu Qingchen, she was willing to give everything.
