After Shen Pianzhi finished speaking, she stood up from the edge of the couch.

Xiao Chenyuan opened his eyes, and with the back of his hand, veins bulging, he grabbed her wrist bone and said in a low and weak voice:

"Madam, you've said all sorts of good and bad things these past two days, but it's all in vain. Madam, please don't go anywhere right now. Stay here with me, okay?"

There was a glimmer of light in his eyes, and cold sweat continued to appear on his forehead. He looked extremely painful and haggard.

But his hand gripped her wrist tightly, without loosening his grip at all.

Shen Pianzhi's eyes were covered with a layer of mist. She blinked her eyelashes and tears fell. "A Yuan, can you let me try again?"

Hope is at hand.

How could she give up?

When Xiao Chenyuan heard her calling him like this for the first time, his eyes darkened slightly and a trace of emotion appeared on his face.

Shen Pianzhi's eyes were filled with bright tears. She gently pulled his wrist and said, "A Yuan, please."

Her voice was so soft and gentle that it was irresistible.

Xiao Chenyuan stared at him for a while, and finally nodded in agreement, "Madam, you can only be gone for half a minute."

He didn't want Zhizhi to suffer too much injustice from outsiders.

Shen Pianzhi nodded readily, "Okay."

She was about to stand up from the couch, but Xiao Chenyuan suddenly raised his slender fingers, gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said in a low voice:

"Madam, please don't cry. Your eyes are red."

Perhaps he was in so much pain that even his voice was weak.

When Shen Pianzhi heard this, tears welled up in her eyes, but in order not to make him worry, she curved her eyebrows and said, "I'll listen to my husband."

After the words fell, Shen Pianzhi slowly stood up and said to him: "Wait for me to come back."

Xiao Chenyuan gave him a determined look.

Shen Pianzhi lifted the hem of her skirt and walked out briskly.

As soon as I opened the bamboo door, I saw several of my best friends standing in the yard.

They seemed to have been waiting here for a long time, with worried expressions on their faces.

Shen Pianzhi closed the door gently and walked towards them with pretended calmness.

Xiang Huaiyue asked in a low voice: "How is Xiao Chenyuan?"

"The poison is taking effect." Shen Pianzhi said concisely.

Yu Huan said, "I'm going to find Miss Liu."

But before she finished her words, Shen Pianzhi said, "I'll go."

Yu Huan's expression was slightly tense, but he finally nodded under Shen Pianzhi's gaze.

Chi Feiwan and Xiang Huaiyue looked at each other, stepped aside and made way.

Shen Pianzhi took brisk steps and disappeared in the yard in a flash.

Yu Huan sighed, "Are we really just going to sit back and do nothing?"

"We have been looking for Miss Liu these past two days, but we have been turned away. This is not what we expected. We have tried our best." Chi Feiwan said.

Xiang Huaiyue stirred her handkerchief nervously. "When Zhizhi comes back, shall we go and ask Miss Liu for help?"

"The person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it. If I want Liu Zhaomian to help me, I'm afraid I have to let her heart disease heal as before." Yu Huan suddenly realized this truth.

Chi Feiwan pursed his lips and said, "Let's start from here."

Shen Pianzhi came to the main courtyard and still saw that the bamboo door was closed.

She ran all the way here, with a lot of frost and snow on her hair and body, and the tip of her nose was red from the cold. She stood in the corridor and did not even bother to sweep the snow, but said to the inside:

"Miss Liu, tonight is a full moon night. My husband's parasite has broken out and he's suffering from excruciating pain. I'm not asking you to save him, I'm just asking for a small favor."

Just when Shen Pianzhi thought that Liu Zhaomian still would not open the door.

The bamboo door suddenly opened.

Liu Zhaomian raised his eyelashes slightly and glanced at Shen Pianzhi indifferently, "What's the small favor?"

Shen Pianzhi's dull eyes suddenly lit up. She walked slowly forward and whispered in her ear.

After she finished speaking, Liu Zhaomian raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked in a slightly surprised tone, "You are willing to go to such lengths for a man?"
