It was only when Shen Shuzhi left that Uncle Tie released his grip.

Shen Zhi Qiao was so shocked that his mouth was slightly agape. He squatted on the ground and didn't react for a long time.

Uncle Tie stood up and frowned at her. He sighed helplessly and bent over to help her up.

Shen Zhi Qiao looked at him hesitantly. "Uncle Tie …"

"You will understand, madame, one day." Uncle Tie interrupted her, his gaze shifting from the window to the room. "Since you're already here, do you want to go in and take a look?!"

Shen Zhi Qiao opened his mouth and closed it.

She had intended to find out more about the occupants of the house, but she had not expected to receive such a shock the moment she arrived.

She wasn't sure if she was right or wrong to return this time.

Seeing her hesitant appearance, Uncle Tie could roughly understand her mood. He didn't say anything else and took the lead to walk around the house.

As for whether she could enter or not, that was up to her.

Shen Zhi Qiao stood by the window, watching as Uncle Tie walked in and pulled up the curtain …

Breathing is forgotten in the chest.

Inside the tent, the weak lights were imprinted with a blurry, unreal scene.

She saw Uncle Tie bow his body and say something to the person on the bed. She felt that the person on the bed seemed to be moved a little. She slowly turned her head and cast a dark gaze towards the window.

Her heart skipped a beat. Before she could react, she had already dodged to the side of the window.

She didn't know why she hid. In short, she hid.

After a while, Uncle Tie walked out of the door as if he was looking at her, and then walked towards the courtyard entrance.

Watching him disappear through the doorway, Shen suddenly clenched his fist and leaned against the wall by the window.

Everything seemed to be in chaos from this moment onwards.

She had always thought that he and Shen Shuzhi truly loved each other, but now it seemed like that wasn't the case.

From Shen Wenzhi's tone, she could tell that he hated her even more than she hated him.

And Uncle Tie's words, "She will understand one day" …

Again, she should... Understand what?!

Doubts were like a plate of tangled threads that tightly entwined her heart. The things she knew were shattered into pieces, and she discovered that she wasn't prepared to solve them at all.

She shook her head abruptly. She shouldn't have come here.

She had already cut off all ties with Qi Mujing.

It was time for her to return. If Tuoba Yu wasn't able to see her, he would definitely be worried.

Really, time to go back!

With that thought, she suddenly straightened her body and quickly walked out.

'Bang! 'A loud sound of a heavy object falling onto the ground could be heard from inside the room. Following that, a hissing sound that seemed to come from the depths of his throat could be heard.

Tightening his fists, he exhaled deeply, furrowed his brows, and quickly ran into the house.

When he passed by the coffin at the entrance, a trace of fear quickly flashed through his large eyes.

He did not dare to stop and walked into the tent.

As soon as he stepped into the tent, he was met with a solemn gaze.

Qi Mujing was lying on the ground. His fingers, which were so thin that only a layer of skin remained, were grasping the ground as if he was trying to get up.

Shen Zhiqiao didn't say anything. He squatted down, grabbed his arm, and pulled him up from the ground. The hand holding his arm was trembling uncontrollably; she almost thought that she was holding onto only a handful of clothes.

What on earth made him so weak?

Qi Mujing stared at her unblinkingly, as if he wanted to see through her. Meanwhile, he kept trying hard to think of something to say, but as soon as he opened his mouth, there was a series of indistinct snorts.

Shen Zhiqiao's tears almost fell. She never thought that one day, she would see him in such a miserable state.

He lowered his head and placed him on the bed. Then, he took the blanket and covered him with it.

There was a strong smell of medicine on his body, and there were many black dregs on his white collar. They had already been condensed into a ball, and it seemed like it had not been changed for a long time.

The space between his eyebrows wrinkled, and just as he was about to pull his hand away from the blanket, he was gripped by a big, cold hand. It was very tight!

Shen Zhi Qiao's skin under his eyelids twitched, then he looked at Shen Zhi Qiao's face.

He really had lost a lot of weight, and he was even thinner than when he saw him at the Moon Jade Pavilion last time.

His handsome face was covered by a thin leather bag, and there were traces of darkness under his eyes. He was breathing heavily, and it was hard for him to breathe.

The other hand hanging by his side clenched its grip, but in the end, it did not break away from his grasp, allowing him to hold it.

Qi Mujing used all of his strength to grab her hand. Her hand was just like before, so soft, so warm, he didn't want to let go of her at all!

He had a lot of things he wanted to say and many questions he wanted to ask. However, when he looked as if he was suffering from an illness, he suddenly felt that anything he asked would be unnecessary.

Uncle Tie did not walk far. In order to prevent Shen Shuzhi from returning, he had been guarding the courtyard entrance.

When Shen Zhi Qiao walked out, he saw Shen Zhi Qiao standing with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky. It was unknown as to what he was thinking.

Slowly walking to his side, he finally asked, "Uncle Tie, what's going on? "What's wrong with Ah Jing?" She pursed her lips, "Is he really unable to last until the end of the year?!"

He was in a really bad mood. He held her hand, trying to stay there a little longer, but soon fell asleep.

When he heard her voice, his eyes turned from the air to her body. Uncle Tie looked at her for a long time, and her eyebrows were a little tired, but her face was rosy, as if her body had become even rounder than when she had left the house of the Marquis. She slightly raised her lips, and a look of gratification flashed across her eyes, "Madam, don't worry, I believe Master Hou will be able to endure for a little longer."

"…" Shen Zhi Qiao's breathing became sluggish, "Uncle Tie, what do you mean by enduring longer? Is his illness really that serious? "

"It's not an illness …" Uncle Tie said lightly, "It's poison!"

Poison?!

Shen Zhiqiao was surprised and rolled his eyes. She remembered that Jing had always been strict with his affairs. He had only ever been able to get what he wanted, and she had never heard of him offending anyone.

Who would poison him?

Uncle Tie lowered his eyes and looked at her thoughtful expression, which was very similar to the person's shadow in his memory. He gave a wry smile and said, "Alright Madam, it's late at night. I'll prepare a room for you later. You can rest for the night and leave tomorrow."

Shen Zhi Qiao shook his head, "No need, I still need to leave!" He wrinkled his nose, "Uncle Tie, what poison is in Ah Jing? Do you think that you can't find a way to detoxify the poison even after studying medicine for so many years? "

"It's too late, I discovered it too late. The poison seeped into my five viscera, there's no medicine left for me to treat, I can only leave it to fate." Uncle Tie said dejectedly.

"…" Shen Zhi Qiao clenched his fist and loosened it, insisting, "Uncle Tie, if it was Lou Lan, would he be able to protect Ah Jing's life?!"

Uncle Tie's eyebrows loosened as he looked at her. "Lou Lan?!"

Shen Zhi Qiao nodded his head, "Yes, if it's him, can I?!"

Uncle Tie covered his eyes, thought for a while, and finally nodded his head. "Maybe I can give it a try."

His heavy heart was finally comforted. Shen Zhi Qiao heaved a sigh of relief. He had an idea in his mind.

In the end, Uncle Tie couldn't keep her any longer, so he had no choice but to send her off to the main entrance. He watched her leave until she could no longer be seen.

Only then did he turn around and return to the Jing Residence.

The moment he walked in, he saw Leng Yan walking out.

Twisting his brows, he walked up a few steps and asked, "Did something happen?!"

Leng Yan shook his head, "Mistress is worried about Madam and wants me to escort Madam."

Only then did Uncle Tie feel that he had been careless. If she wanted to leave, he would really let her go. If a weak girl like her were to meet an evil person on the street …

His heart tightened as he hurriedly said, "Go quickly!"

Leng Yan nodded and quickly walked out.

Uncle Tie looked at the coffin in the center of the room and walked in.

As soon as he entered, he saw the shadow of a man standing by the window.

Feeling the gaze behind him, Qi Mujing slowly turned around. Although his face was still a little green and black, his black eyes were brimming with vigor.

Uncle Tie took a few steps forward, then took out a dark brown porcelain bottle and handed it to him. "Eat this."

Qi Mujing's lips curved up into a smile as he took the bottle and ate it. He walked to the table and put the bottle on it, then lowered his eyes and asked casually, "What did she tell you?"
