After a long silence, Xiao Jingchuan nodded. This was his true inner thought, but morality prevented him from doing anything else.
"I like you, but I won't force myself to marry someone else's wife, especially someone who is an important official of the Dongxia Kingdom.
I will pretend I didn't hear what you said today, and I won't say it again. Madam Weirui, if you don't have anything else to say, please go back."
The original owner understood, and before making a decision, she asked Xiao Jingchuan clearly.
"I understand Xiao Jingchuan. If Shen Qingzhou and I break up and I divorce him, do you want to miss me? I want to hear the truth."
Xiao Jingchuan never thought that Lin Ting and Shen Qingzhou would divorce, but if they really divorced and Lin Ting was willing to be with him, then he naturally didn't want to miss her.
"If you are free, I, Xiao Jingchuan, am willing to offer you my kingdom as a betrothal gift."
The original owner was very satisfied with this answer.
The first thing she did when she got home was to go to the study, snatch the witchcraft book from Shen Qingzhou's hand, and say to him.
"Shen Qingzhou, since you don't like me either, then write me a divorce letter and we'll both let each other go."
"I won't divorce you now."
Shen Qingzhou has not yet found a way to resolve the Soul-Suppressing Contract, so he will not let the original owner escape.
"I don't care. You have to write the divorce papers to me. Don't think you can control me."
"Bai Lu, take the lady back. She is not allowed to come out again without my order."
The original owner was no match for Bai Lu, but Bai Lu didn't dare to hurt her and just pulled her back to the guest room.
"Shen Qingzhou, you want to lock me up again. I'm not your pig or dog. What right do you have to lock me up?"
Another five days passed!
There are only three wisps of smoke left in Banglin Ting's soul. In another thirty days, these wisps will disappear.
She was very troubled by the original owner's madness today.
"Lin Ting, I have already given you all my wealth, what else are you not satisfied with?
Xiao Jingchuan is the emperor, and the relationships in the harem are complicated. It's not a place you can stay. You have to think about the consequences."
Lin Ting still couldn't help but want to persuade her. Even if Xiao Jingchuan liked her, did he really like the original owner?
Even if he likes this body, beauty fades easily, and she has no background behind her. How long can Xiao Jingchuan protect him?
"Hmph! What I want is none of your business. Just mind your own business. When I become the ruler of a country, I'll have everything I want. Who cares about your stinky silver?"
Persuasion was fruitless, and Lin Ting didn't want to care about her anymore. As long as she didn't do anything to hurt the people she cared about, Lin Ting would let her do whatever she wanted.
The original owner woke up the next day and threw the candle in the room onto the bed, and the sheets and bedding instantly caught fire.
The original owner patted the locked door and said, "Someone, there's a fire, there's a fire..."
Bai Lu saw smoke coming out of the window, and immediately opened the door and brought the original owner out.
"Ma'am, are you okay?"
The original owner coughed several times as she was choked by the smoke.
"Don't worry about me, go put out the fire first."
Seeing that Bai Lu and Butler Zhou had gone to put out the fire, and Shen Qingzhou seemed to have gone to the palace, she took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and secretly ran away from the Shen Mansion.
When she came back again, the fire in the Shen Mansion had been almost put out. She sat in the hall and watched the people in the yard busying around.
Shen Qingzhou came back from the palace and learned that her room had been burned. After seeing her sitting in the hall and not being injured, he no longer paid any attention to her.
The original owner gritted his teeth, his eyes full of calculation.
In the evening, An Yue went to boil the medicine for Shen Wanyi and was about to give it to Shen Wanyi to drink. As soon as she stood up, she was blocked by the original owner.
"An Yue, give me Wan Yi's medicine. I'll give it to her."
The young lady was injured by the lady, and An Yue didn't want to give the medicine to the original owner.
"Madam, this is what I should do. Please let me do it."
Wherever An Yue went, the original owner would block her and not let her go.
"An Yue, Shen Wanyi is my daughter. I want to take this opportunity to send her medicine and repair our mother-daughter relationship.
Are you refusing me so much because you want to see our relationship break down?"
An Yue was frightened by the original owner's words and knelt down quickly.
"I dare not, madam, I dare not!"
An Yue raised the tray in her hand and handed it to the original owner. The original owner enjoyed the feeling of others surrendering to her feet.
Smiling, she took An Yuezhong's tray and said, "Get up. Wait until this lady has finished talking to the young lady before you go in. Okay?"
An Yue: "Yes! Madam."
When the original owner turned around, he secretly put the medicine bag he had just sold into Shen Wanyi's medicine.
Today, she must force Shen Qingzhou to write a divorce letter for her. The sooner the divorce is completed, the sooner she can enter the palace.
When she entered Shen Wanyi's room and saw Shen Wanyi lying on the bed with her clothes on, she sat gently beside the bed.
"Why is mother here?"
The original owner put the medicine aside and helped Shen Wanyi lean against the head of the bed.
"Wanyi, are you in pain? Can mother come and feed you medicine?"
It was rare for the original owner to become gentle. Even though Shen Wanyi was beaten by her, she never held a grudge against her mother.
"Thank you, mother!"
The original owner took the medicine, stirred it twice with a spoon, and then leaned over to feed it to Shen Wanyi.
The original owner only wanted to divorce and had no feelings for Shen Wanyi.
The medicine was brought to his lips. Just as Shen Wanyi was about to open his mouth, he frowned. The medicine didn't taste right.
This medicine?
She looked up at the original owner in disbelief. There was poison in the medicine soup. Was it her mother who put it there?
Her mother taught her medicine so that she would not be poisoned by others, but her mother took the poison and drank it herself.
Shen Wanyi's chest was choked with sobs, tears welled up in his eyes: "Mother, is this medicine really mine?"
The original owner smiled faintly: "Of course, this is made by your mother herself and brought to you personally. Drink it quickly."
As long as Shen Wanyi died, she would have nothing to worry about and no burden to bear. Then she could ask Xiao Jingchuan to change her name, and she would be a noble person above everyone else.
And since she treated Shen Wanyi like this, Shen Qingzhou would never keep her anymore, killing two birds with one stone.
"Wanyi, drink quickly!"
Shen Wanyi smiled bitterly, tears on her cheeks.
"Mother, this medicine is too bitter. Could you please get me a plate of candied fruit?"
"Good medicine tastes bitter. Drink it and I'll give you candied fruit."
Shen Wanyi used his other unbroken hand to take the medicine bowl from the original owner.
"Mother, I'll drink it myself."
Shen Wanyi lowered her head and took a sip of the medicine. She looked up at the original owner with a bitter face.
The original owner thought she would drink it, so he stood up and said, "Remember to finish all the medicine. I'll ask An Yue to get you some candied fruit."
As soon as the original owner left the room, Shen Wanyi spat out the medicine in his mouth.
He lifted the quilt, ran to the table, and rinsed his mouth with tea, again and again.
When An Yue came in, she saw the young lady gargling frantically.
"Miss, the candied fruit is here. Is the medicine too bitter?"
Shen Wanyi shook his head and pointed at the medicine box in the room.
"An Yue, hurry up and get the detoxification pills that my mother left for me from the medicine box."
