Jiang Qingli was still quite weak, but she privately asked someone to bring Chen Luoting to see her.
As soon as Chen Luoting entered the room, Jiang Qingli instructed someone to untie her and asked her to sit by the bed. "You must have suffered a lot, right?"
Since the incident occurred, Chen Luoting had not shed a tear in front of anyone, but at Jiang Qingli's words, she broke down in tears. "Miss Jiang, I truly am innocent! I did not poison you!"
Jiang Qingli smiled and took her hand. "Of course I know you didn't poison me. This matter has nothing to do with you at all. Everything was arranged by me and Shao Zihan, including bringing you to my home."
Chen Luoting stared wide-eyed at Jiang Qingli in shock. "What on earth is going on?"
Shao Muyuan married the domineering Wen Zhanxia to gain support from her family's influence. For thirty years, he had been under Wen Zhanxia's control, and marrying Chen Luoting as a secondary wife was his first step in seeking revenge against her.
There was another reason he married Chen Luoting: Shao Zihan.
Shao Zihan was Wen Zhanxia's biological son but not Shao Muyuan's; he was the child of Wen Zhanxia’s affair with another man.
Shao Muyuan had always wanted a child of his own, but Wen Zhanxia refused to bear him one because she wanted to ensure that her family's wealth remained under their control.
She knew Shao Muyuan's true intentions for marrying her but still chose to marry him because she loved him. However, she could not give him her wealth; if she did, she would lose him.
These conflicts had nothing to do with Chen Luoting, yet she had been drawn into them nonetheless.
Upon learning that Wen Zhanxia was about to put Chen Luoting to death, Shao Zihan secretly contacted his former classmate Jiang Qingli and conspired to orchestrate a poisoning scheme, aiming to rescue Chen Luoting from the Shao Family.
"But isn't Shao Zihan's current situation very dangerous? Shao Muyuan should have already discovered that Shao Zihan is not his biological son, and Wen Zhanxia may not be willing to let things go easily. What will Zihan do? He..."
Having just escaped from danger, Chen Luoting couldn't help but worry for Shao Zihan.
"Zihan is right; you truly are a pure and kind-hearted girl. If someone like you were to sacrifice yourself in the conflict between the Shao couple, even I would feel that fate is unfair. Don't worry, Zihan has arranged everything. Just stay patiently at my home for a while, and you'll see him soon," Jiang Qingli reassured her.
Jiang Qingli's words gradually proved true.
Shao Muyuan's business was slowly being acquired by a mysterious figure, leaving him with no room to refuse. His assets faced significant setbacks, forcing him to sell them off.
One day, Shao Muyuan had to sell even the last of his assets, leaving only the current Shao Family mansion, which used to be the ancestral home of the Wen Family.
"Is it true that Shao Muyuan and Wen Zhanxia are left with just that big house?"
Sitting on a boat, Chen Luoting nestled in Shao Zihan's arms, gazing up at his eyes now filled with tenderness.
Shao Zihan couldn't help but smile. "The money from selling off their assets is enough for them to live comfortably in their old age. As long as they behave themselves and stop fighting, they should be just fine. You don’t need to worry about them; what you should be thinking about is whether we should have another wedding when we get to England. I promise I won't miss it this time!"
"If the groom is absent again, then this wedding will turn into news once more," Chen Luoting thought secretly, smiling slightly.
"What are you laughing at? Keep it up, and I'm going to kiss you."
Shao Zihan leaned in with a smile, close to Chen Luoting's ear, causing Chen Luoting to blush deeply, her neck turning crimson.
She turned her head and gently pressed her lips against Shao Zihan's. Shao Zihan shivered all over, his large hand cradling the back of Chen Luoting's head as he eagerly deepened the soft kiss.
On the vast expanse of the sea, it seemed that only this pair of lovers, who had endured hardships together, remained. Even the setting sun appeared to rejoice in their happiness.
