Zhao Caiyun weakly said, “Mother, go out first and close the door.” She didn’t want her family to know what she said to Ding Yao.

Ding Yao kept looking at Zhao Caiyun and slightly frowned. She looked like she had been poisoned. Why were those people behind her so cruel?

After Zhao Caiyun’s mother left, Zhao Caiyun weakly said to Ding Yao, “I found you... because... you will kill Song Xiuyan.”

Ding Yao didn’t say anything after listening and waited for Zhao Caiyun to continue. Zhao Caiyun looked like she couldn’t even breathe, and it was impossible for her to continue speaking. She paused for a moment, then, she continued, “I’m not a fool... that strange woman taught me to do this... how could I be so stupid as to do what she said... I just didn’t expect that one night, a man silently broke into my room and forced me to eat a poison pill... he said that if I didn’t do what he said, I wouldn’t live for more than ten days... He gave me a bottle of poison... if I didn’t break my hymen, he would poison your food... After the deed was done, he would give me the antidote... that man threatened me not to tell anyone... otherwise, he would kill my entire family... I didn’t want to kill you... so I used the method of breaking my hymen... Those people wanted you dead. If you continue to stay in Song Xiuyan’s house, you will only kill their entire family!”

It took Zhao Caiyun a long time to finish what she wanted to say. She took out a small porcelain bottle from under her pillow. “This is... the poison that man gave me... I put some in the water for my chickens to eat... they died immediately after eating... I don’t blame anyone. I only blame myself for not caring about the consequences... if I behaved myself, perhaps no one would have known that I like Song Xiuyan, and no one would have found me and used me... although I like Song Xiuyan... I don’t like him enough to give up my life...”

Before she died, Zhao Caiyun realized that she would rather live a good life than fall in love with Song Xiuyan. Unfortunately, there was no use regretting it now. She was going to die. It was good. She wouldn’t drag her family down with her. She looked at Ding Yao with a pale face. “Go.” She had said everything she needed to say.

Ding Yao took out a pill and asked Zhao Caiyun, “Do you want... it... ?” She decided to save Zhao Caiyun’s life. Although Zhao Caiyun was guilty, she didn’t deserve to die. The members of the Zhao family weren’t evil people. Her purpose in studying medicine was to save the dead and heal the injured.

Zhao Caiyun smiled miserably. “Do you want to send me on my way ahead of time? That’s fine too...”

Ding Yao put down the pill. “This... can protect you... from dying tonight.” After saying that, she left the room and pulled Song Xiuyan back home. The Zhao family couldn’t hear what Zhao Caiyun and Ding Yao said. However, Song Xiuyan heard everything. After entering the house, Song Xiuyan asked, “Can you save her?”

Ding Yao nodded. “Yes.”

Seeing that Ding Yao had started to fiddle with the small porcelain bottle that Zhao Caiyun had given him, Song Xiuyan couldn’t help but ask, “Is there really poison inside?” Ding Yao nodded. She had just opened it and looked at it. It was white and tasteless. It should be a high-end poison that could kill anyone who ate it. Thinking of this, she raised her head and looked at Song Xiuyan. “Did you hear what Zhao Caiyun said?”

Song Xiuyan nodded. He didn’t need to hide anything from Ding Yao. Ding Yao shrugged and said, “You should believe it now. Those people came for me. The two men in black also came to kill me. The person who harmed Song Yang might really be the owner of the West Qin Casino, so no one wanted to harm your family. The person they wanted to harm was me.”

Ding Yao wanted Song Xiuyan to relax a little. Unfortunately, Song Xiuyan didn’t quite agree. “That man wanted Zhao Caiyun to poison our food. He wanted to poison all of us. It wasn’t just against you. Moreover, from the poison pills he gave Zhao Caiyun, it looked more like he was targeting me. If Zhao Caiyun successfully refused to leave my house and the poison took effect, I would seem like the person who poisoned her. The police would have investigated me.”

Ding Yao was speechless at Song Xiuyan’s stubbornness. She didn’t understand why Song Xiuyan always thought that those people were coming for him.

Song Xiuyan had experienced his previous life, so his thoughts were clearer than Ding Yao’s. He was now certain that someone wanted to harm his family, and someone wanted to harm Ding Yao. The person who wanted to harm his family might have something to do with his background, and the person who wanted to harm Ding Yao might also have something to do with Ding Yao’s background. Thinking of this, Song Xiuyan suddenly held Ding Yao in his arms and firmly promised, “No matter if those people are targeting you or me, don’t panic. With me here, no one can hurt us.”
