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

He looked at the somewhat weak young master, who had barely managed to suppress his inner strength, his face covered in fine sweat.

He secretly asked:

"Young master, could it be that cup of tea?"

"... "

Xie Ze neither denied nor admitted it, but simply remained silent.

Zhong Shi continued his analysis:

"Young Master didn't even notice, after all, the medicine is colorless and odorless. Only the Demonic Sect would possess such a medicine."

Xie Yi frowned slightly upon hearing this.

"Could it be that the owner of this medicine is connected with the Demonic Sect? What were their intentions in giving it directly to the young master? It's truly despicable."

Xie Yidu and others spoke out in defense of this matter.

Zhong Shi hadn't heard a sound from the young master, so he asked him worriedly:

"Young Master, what do you think we should do about this?"

Xie Ze gently rubbed his forehead, his tone devoid of emotion, and calmly gave Xie Yi a command.

"Xie Yi, go and bring Qiao Wanwan here alone."

"Yes, Master!"

Upon hearing the young master's words, Xie Yi guessed that it was likely that Miss Qiao who had given the young master the drug.

His eyes were filled with surprise.

Tell me, who is so bold?

It turns out to be Miss Qiao, who appeared at the young master's bathhouse last night.

This time, the young master caught them red-handed.

He thought to himself:

This Miss Qiao is doomed.

The spot where Xie Yi was standing vanished in a flash.

Zhong Shi, standing to the side, felt a little embarrassed, fearing that the young master would be angry and bring Miss Qiao over to be killed.

So he spoke some good words for Qiao Wanwan:

"Young Master, please don't be angry. Perhaps Miss Wanwan was unaware of the situation."

"Unaware? I've already given her a chance, but she hasn't told the truth a single word."

"Then...or perhaps she accidentally gave the medicine to the wrong person?"

Xie Ze's brows furrowed even more as he listened to Zhong Shi's words. He let out a cold laugh and said:

"You think she could give it to the wrong person? Who could it be, Gu Chaomu?"

"Oh, young master, I was just speaking casually. I don't know the truth either."

"... "

Xie Ze felt a slight tremor in his heart. He came to his senses and realized that he had become very strange.

Why would you waver over something so trivial?

But after hearing what Uncle Zhong said, his mind was inexplicably in turmoil, and he even felt a surge of anger.

That woman, who clearly said she liked me, turned around and went to give someone else aphrodisiacs?

He gets unhappy just thinking about it.

The man lowered his eyelids, feeling a heavy weight pressing on his chest, making him feel uncomfortable.

Looking at the young master's current state, Zhong Shi thought to himself:

It seems Miss Qiao has really angered the young master; now we don't know what to do.

All he could do was pray for Qiao Wanwan, hoping she wouldn't be hurt by the young master...

...

Qiao Wanwan returned to her room, changed into a bright green dress, and went to the door. She then said to her maid:

"Let's go."

"Yes."

The maidservant walking in front of Qiao Wanwan held up a lamp for her, constantly expressing her gratitude.

"Thank you so much, Miss Qiao. If I had offended you and my employer found out, he would have skinned me alive."

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this. After all, I know you didn't do it on purpose."

"Thank you, miss."

"fine."

Under the moonlight, only a yellow lantern in the maid's hand illuminated the path ahead.

The chirping of insects in the grass, rhythmic and energetic, seemed to be playing a beautiful melody.

They had just stepped out of the female guest's courtyard when they were blocked by a man in black at the gate.

"Assassin...assassin!"

The maid leading the way was startled and flung her lantern behind Qiao Wanwan.

The lantern, thrown out, formed a parabola, yet landed steadily in the hands of the man in black.

The lantern, glowing with a faint candlelight, gently illuminated the face of the man in black.

Qiao Wanwan then remembered that this person was the man in black she had seen last night, who seemed to be Xie Ze's bodyguard.

"It's you?"

"Since Miss Qiao still remembers me, that's good. I don't need to explain further. My young master invites you in."

"... "

Qiao Wanwan's heart skipped a beat, and she nervously swallowed.

"Xie Ze is looking for me?"

"Yes, Miss Qiao, please."

Could it be because of what happened last night?

Hey!

Forget it, there's no escaping it anyway, I might as well just be honest.

At worst, I'll let him knock me on the forehead and get revenge.

Anyway, her illness will get better soon, and she'll be fine the next day.

"Alright, please lead the way for me."

The maid behind her couldn't help but worry and fearfully tugged at Qiao Wanwan's sleeve.

"Miss, do you know him?"

"Okay, you go back first. Tell Chunxia not to wait for me. I'll go back to my room by myself later."

"Okay, miss."

The little maid secretly glanced at Xie Yi, a man dressed entirely in black, and his cold, icy face made her tremble with fear as she let go of his hand.

Xie Yi tossed the lantern to the maid.

"Get it."

"Yes Yes."

Xie Yi didn't need lanterns at all; he only needed the faint moonlight to clear the way.

"Miss Qiao, this way please."

"it is good."

...

Qiao Wanwan was led astray by Xie Yi.

She stared at Xie Yi, who was leading the way, heading straight ahead, not towards Xie Ze's room at all. She asked with some suspicion:

Are you sure it's Xie Ze looking for me?

"Of course, Miss Qiao."

"His room isn't here. Where are you taking me?"

Xie Yi didn't stop walking, but simply reminded her:

“My young master prefers quiet and doesn’t like the original guest room, so we moved here.”

"Oh, I see."

No wonder it was a different route than the one she took the day before yesterday.

Qiao Wanwan didn't think much of it and went along as usual.

For some reason, the guards in front, who were walking at a leisurely pace, suddenly said something strange.

"Speaking of which, Miss Qiao, how much do you like my young master that you're so desperate for him?"

"???"

Qiao Wanwan was completely bewildered. She tried to ask, "What did you just say?"

The other party suddenly stopped in their tracks.

Qiao Wanwan also stopped in her tracks to avoid a head-on collision.

"We've arrived, Miss Qiao."

Qiao Wanwan saw a house with candlelight in a courtyard that was neither too big nor too small.

That room must be Xie Ze's new room.

He then politely said to Xie Yi:

"OK, thanks."

Unexpectedly, the other party wore a sinister smile and spoke a warning:

"May you be well."

"?"

At this point, Qiao Wanwan was still unaware of what was happening.

I just felt that this person's smile was a little creepy. What was going on?

It's as if they're ready to watch a good show.

This caused Qiao Wanwan to feel a strange sense of panic and unease.

Is everything really alright?

Looking at the room lit by candlelight ahead, she mentally prepared herself and stepped forward.

I arrived at the door and was about to knock.

With a creak, the door was opened.

"!!"

Looking up, she saw Butler Zhong Shi, who looked at her with a hopeless expression and said:

"Miss Qiao, the young master is inside. Please come in."

"it is good."

...
