A dowry of one billion, and I'll marry him!

She didn't look at Zhan Jinglin again, but turned to the dumbfounded butler and said, "Where is my room? Please lead the way."

Even on the Zhan family's territory, she was very outgoing and didn't feel lost or helpless as a dependent.

Startled by her words, the butler looked up at Zhan Jinglin and saw him nod slightly. He immediately became polite and said, "Young Madam, this way please."

As he spoke, he led Shi Yanxia to the other side.

Zhan Jinglin stood there, his hands behind his back, watching her departing figure. After a long while, he lowered his head, looking at the shirt she had torn, his gaze falling on the skin on her body.

There were no festering sores all over her body, no foul-smelling blood, and the pain in her body had disappeared, but her heart almost stopped when her fingertips touched her chest.

"The Shen family's daughter?" Zhan Jinglin murmured hoarsely, before finally saying, "Interesting."

"Young Master Zhan, how are you feeling now?" Gu Qing strode forward and asked in a low voice.

Zhan Jinglin lowered his eyes, looking at the torn shirt and the marks left by her fingertips on his chest. The surging blood in his body seemed to be suppressed.

"It's under control," Zhan Jinglin said in a hoarse voice.

A hint of doubt flashed in the man's dark eyes as he thoughtfully looked towards her bedroom.

"Suppressed it? How is that possible? Even the top doctors said this poison couldn't be suppressed. How did she do it? Could it be because the marriage was a successful way to bring good luck?" Gu Qing said in disbelief.

The illness in Zhan Jinglin's body was like thorns, buried inside him! Every day it would churn inside his body, then break through his skin, as if bursting out of his body.

His body will then become a bloody mess, with blood flowing continuously.

Even after the bleeding stops and the wound scabs over, it will recur! This cycle repeats itself endlessly. Now, the time it takes for his blood vessels to burst is getting shorter and shorter. He feels completely drained, and the doctors say he may be on his deathbed.

Even the powerful and wealthy Zhan family was helpless against it.

That's why the old man had someone do a divination! He believed that Zhan Jinglin's fate was special, and that a marriage to bring him good luck might work. However, the Zhan family had no other options but to arrange a marriage with the Shen family.

“She’s after me,” Zhan Jinglin said in a deep voice.

"She came for you? Does she want to kill you?" Gu Qing was taken aback.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he realized something was wrong. If he wanted to kill someone, he wouldn't have needed to make a move.

"Kill me? That's unlikely, but she knew I was poisoned, and with a small action she suppressed the poison in my body, and she can even guarantee that I will live for another month. I want to see how she will keep me alive," Zhan Jinglin said in a deep voice.

Gu Qing agreed with this, but said with concern, "Even the top doctors wouldn't dare say that, Young Master Zhan! Could she be the one who poisoned him?"

Zhan Jinglin remained silent.

"Investigate her," Zhan Jinglin said in a deep voice.

Gu Qing was stunned upon hearing this, then understood and said in a low voice, "Yes, I'll go now."

Gu Qing had just left when the butler came over.

He stood respectfully before Zhan Jinglin and recounted in detail what had just happened at the Shen family. Zhan Jinglin narrowed his dark eyes and said in a deep voice, "She took all the betrothal gifts with her?"

"Yes, and give me her ID card so I can open a safe deposit box at the bank for her." The housekeeper said, handing over Shi Yanxia's ID card.

Zhan Jinglin took her ID card and rubbed the photo on it with his fingertips.

Looking at her bright almond-shaped eyes in the photo, he remained silent for a while, then handed the documents back to her and said, "In that case, keep her things safe for her."

"Yes," the butler replied, turning to leave.

She took two steps, then turned back and whispered, "Young Master, logically speaking, it should be Shen Lianchu who marries you, not this young lady you just found."

"Could it be that the Shen family knows we're planning a marriage to bring good luck and deliberately sent an imposter to deal with us?" the butler asked in a low voice.

He sensed something was wrong at the Shen family's house today.

In particular, they could vaguely hear a commotion coming from upstairs. Although they couldn't make out the details, it was clear that the Shen family was unwilling to marry their daughter into the family.

“The Shen family are business people, so naturally they can’t do a losing business. Who would marry their daughter to a dying man?” Zhan Jinglin said in a deep voice.

He looked up, seemingly lost in thought, towards Shi Yanxia's room.

In the bedroom

The retro-style room is filled with various antiques. Although simple, it is easy to see that each piece is quite valuable.

Shi Yanxia couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. She hadn't expected that the bedroom the Zhan family had prepared for her was filled with genuine items, a stark contrast to the room in the Shen family.

"This is actually quite interesting," Shi Yanxia murmured.

From the moment she was reborn, she already had a plan in mind. The substitute marriage was not because she was desperate to get married, but because she wanted to make the Shen family punch a cotton ball.

It seems like she's marrying in place of someone else now, but if the Zhan family member doesn't die, given the Zhan family's wealth and power, Shen Lianchu, that vain person, will definitely be furious.

The Shen family will definitely cause trouble again, so she will make them...

Thinking of this, her almond-shaped eyes narrowed slightly, a profound and unfathomable look flashing in them. A fleeting image of Zhan Jinglin's condition flashed through her mind, and she murmured, "But how could this Zhan fellow be poisoned by such a thing?"

This poison is very strange; it's unlikely that a hospital could diagnose it.

Initially, the poisoning would occur once a month, then weekly, and finally every three days. When death was imminent, the poisoning would recur daily! Ultimately, this would cause blood vessels in the body to rupture, resulting in death with the body completely mangled and a gruesome sight.

What kind of hatred could drive someone to wish Zhan Jinglin were dead? Moreover, the poison in this body causes the sperm to die completely.

This also means that if the man's poison cannot be cured, he will not be able to have children.

This not only aims to kill Zhan Jinglin, but also to ensure the extinction of the Zhan family line.

Thinking of this, Shi Yanxia's eyes turned icy cold!

She didn't save him to curry favor, but because she wanted to see who had poisoned him.

But she also has her private side. She just showed off her skills, which made the Zhan family dare not neglect her. Even if the Shen family wanted to kill her, the Zhan family would protect her.

She wouldn't be so arrogant as to think she's so powerful that she doesn't need anyone's protection! Anyone who doesn't take advantage of others would be a fool.

Just then, her phone vibrated, pulling her back to reality.

Shi Yanxia picked up the phone and subconsciously pressed the answer button. A familiar voice came from the other end of the line. He said anxiously, "Shi Yanxia, ​​why did you bully A-Chu?"

"Huh?" Shi Yanxia was stunned, thinking she had misheard.

She looked down in disbelief at her phone screen and confirmed that it was Leng Chengshen calling. In her past life, this man had been as aloof and indifferent as a chrysanthemum, keeping her hanging on, which led to her being manipulated and driven to depression.

So when she was forced to marry in place of another woman by the Shen family, she refused, which led them to strip her naked and record a video of her, trying to control her, which caused her to have a mental breakdown.

Her tragic death was inextricably linked to him.
