In order to survive, she forced herself to have a happy ending with the yandere villain.

Her pale wrist was already marred by black holes formed from clotted blood.

Zhong Shi frowned, tenderly cleaning the wound on his young master's hand.

“Young master, a poisonous snake just ran into the carriage. Why didn’t you tell Zhong Shi?”

Before the poison in your body has been relieved, you have been ingested by the venom of a poisonous snake.

How can this body withstand it?

Xie Ze's eyes were filled with cold indifference and numbness.

He seemed indifferent, as if the wound had not been inflicted on him.

"Uncle Zhong knows perfectly well that compared to that little bit of poison..."

It won't cause me any harm at all.

Upon hearing the young master's words, Zhong Shi paused in his actions.

They were all sighing in their hearts.

Also!

The young master's body has long since developed immunity to ordinary poisons.

The snake's venom had absolutely no effect on him.

only…

He looked at the additional wounds on the young master's hands.

As someone who watched him grow up, Zhong Shi felt incredibly sorry for him.

"Hey!"

She picked up a new gauze and carefully bandaged the wounds on his wrist and palm.

"Young master, it would be better to be more careful in the future."

Otherwise, the lady in heaven would be very sad.

"... "

Hmph! Madam?

Would a dead person still care about him?

If you really care about him, why did you bring him into this world to suffer?

Why stay by your father's side and let him torment you to death?

Instead of choosing to leave the Xie family with him, who was just born, why not?

Xie Ze had a million questions in his mind.

They all felt dissatisfied with their unbearable lives.

Seeing the young master's cold face, Zhong Shi knew he had said the wrong thing.

Keep your mouth shut if you know what's good for you.

Because of Xie Ze, the atmosphere in the room was extremely somber.

"Snack Buckle"

At that moment, there was a knock on the door, accompanied by the sound of a servant from the Zhou family relaying a message.

It interrupted their thoughts.

"Distinguished guests, my master and mistress invite you to a thank-you banquet."

Zhong Shi glanced at Xie Ze, but he didn't say anything.

This means that you can attend this banquet.

So he spoke up and replied to the servants outside.

"Okay, we'll be there in a bit."

After the shadow at the door left, Zhong Shi quickened his pace and treated the young master's wound.

He also instructed:

"Young Master, you are injured right now, so please don't drink alcohol unless necessary."

"Well, I see."

Xie Ze had gotten used to Uncle Zhong's nagging.

It's as if all the love his father didn't give him was poured into this subordinate.

But he knew,

All of this was because his father placed Uncle Zhong Shi by his side.

The purpose was to monitor him and to determine whether this test subject was good or bad.

Therefore, he would not develop any real affection for Uncle Zhong.

Because he doesn't trust outsiders at all.

He didn't believe that anyone in the world, besides Gu Chaomu, would be kind to him.

...

Meanwhile, Qiao Wanwan, having finished washing up, also received the message.

As Chunxia arrived at the entrance of the Zhou family mansion, Gu Chaomu and Zhou Xinyue walked towards them.

Qiao Wanwan grabbed Chunxia,

She used the light blue sleeves of her new clothes to cover herself.

Walk into the hall.

Without a doubt, Gu Chaomu's voice came from behind.

"Wanwan? Why did you run away as soon as you saw Brother Gu?"

"... "

Qiao Wanwan froze for a moment, then stiffly turned around and gave a forced smile.

Pretend you just met them:

"Brother Gu, Miss Zhou, you've both arrived!"

I could smell the aroma of the food very early on.

I hadn't seen you all for a while, so I thought I'd head over there.

"Oh, is it so?"

Gu Chaomu smiled and teased Qiao Wanwan as usual.

"Then you really are a little glutton."

"... "

Ha ha,

Qiao Wanwan showed absolutely no interest in Gu Chaomu's jokes.

I felt numb all over again, and goosebumps covered the floor.

Zhou Xinyue, who was standing next to the man, wanted to take this opportunity to make a good impression on Gu Chaomu.

He quickly stepped forward and affectionately took Qiao Wanwan's hand.

"Little sister Wanwan, you look younger than me, just call me Sister Zhou."

"Don't call me 'Miss Zhou,' it sounds so distant."

"That would be so embarrassing!"

Zhou Xinyue glanced at Gu Chaomu furtively, giving Qiao Wanwan a subtle hint.

"What's there to be embarrassed about?"

We might see each other often in the future.

Call me Sister Zhou, and from now on, we can all look after each other.

"... "

Her meaning was already quite clear.

I just want to travel the world with them!

There is indeed a need for this scene in the plot.

It seems she made some kind of agreement with the male lead, and he was very happy for Miss Zhou to come along.

She simply didn't know the details in the book and was unaware of their vested interests.

She told her to call her Sister Zhou, and she should.

Anyway, it's just one name.

I don't know yet.

Once the hatred has shifted, will I be able to bear her final title?

Sister Zhou and Brother Gu, what a perfect match!

Ideally, we should just let them both die in a state of stagnation.

You can then make a quick getaway and have a great time.

After figuring everything out, Qiao Wanwan smiled sweetly and called out:

"Sister Zhou."

Zhou Xinyue was naturally happy, which meant that the other party understood her meaning.

I can also help match her up with Brother Gu in the future.

"Sister Wanwan, let's go in now."

My father is waiting for you inside; please treat him well.

"Thank you, Sister Zhou."

"You're welcome."

To outsiders, the two girls appear to be like sisters, but no one knows how meticulous and thoughtful they are.

The two were not on the same page at all.

The group went inside; the hall was very spacious.

Their hospitality was different from that of ordinary families.

They weren't eating together at a large round table.

Instead, two separate tables were set up on either side, each with food on it.

There is also space left in the middle for a performance stage.

At the far end of the stage was the main seat, where Magistrate Zhou, who had just returned home, sat waiting for them.

Seeing that his daughter had entered safely, he immediately stood up with the housekeeper.

He stepped forward with concern.

He looked at his daughter, checking if she was injured anywhere.

"Xinyue, let your father see how you are."

I heard from the steward that you encountered bandits on the road, and he was so worried about you.

"Dad, I'm fine."

Zhou Xinyue walked to Magistrate Zhou's side and shyly pointed to Gu Chaomu.

Remind him:

"Father, this is my savior, Brother Gu."

As her daughter introduced her savior, her face flushed.

I thought:

What kind of man could possibly catch his daughter's eye?

Following her daughter's pointing finger, she saw the young man in front of her, handsome and dashing, with an imposing presence.

He looks like a decent person.

This is combined with the fact that he saved his daughter.

It's perfectly normal for a daughter to develop feelings for him.

Gu Chaomu greeted him politely.

"Master Zhou."

Magistrate Zhou seemed quite satisfied with Gu Chaomu, stroking his chin and nodding.

"It's a pleasure to meet you! You are my son's savior."

I don't know how I can repay you all, so I'm holding this thank-you banquet today.

If you need anything in the future, just let me know.

I, Zhou, will do everything in my power to help you accomplish this."

Gu Chaomu was in a good mood after being praised, and her conversation included some pleasantries.

"Thank you, Lord Zhou, for your generosity."

The people will surely love and respect you greatly; you are a truly excellent official for Lu'an Town.

"Hahaha!"

Magistrate Zhou was delighted to hear the young man's words and quickly entertained them:

"Heroes, please come over here and have a seat."

Please make yourself at home and don't be shy.

"Okay, then we won't stand on ceremony."

"Come, Brother Gu, please sit here."

Zhou Xinyue noticed that her father was also very satisfied with Gu Chaomu.

She happily pulled Gu Chaomu along and sat down at the table on the right.

She sat in the empty seat next to the man.

Then he gave the other party some fruit.

They poured each other some tea, their affectionate manner just like that of a married couple.

Gu Chaomu didn't intend to refuse and seemed to enjoy being served by a woman.

The organizer, Magistrate Zhou, watched as his daughter fawned over the man.

He didn't stop it, as if he had already tacitly accepted that Gu Chaomu was his son-in-law.

"... "
