Red blood slowly seeped out from Qiao Ruan's forehead and dyed the ground red, but Song Xinyu remained unmoved at all.

She raised her eyes to look at Cheng Beinuo, and said threateningly, "She drinks, or you drink."

Cold sweat oozed from Cheng Beinuo's forehead. He stepped forward and took the wine glass on the table. Just when Qiao Ru'an thought Cheng Beinuo would drink the poisonous wine, Cheng Beinuo suddenly stepped forward and grabbed it. Qiao Ruan's chin drank the poisonous wine.

"Ru'an, don't you like me the most? You must be willing to die for me."

Qiao Ruan looked at Cheng Beinuo in disbelief. Blood kept pouring out of her mouth, and she died soon after.

Cheng Beinuo breathed a sigh of relief and put the wine glass back on the table with a flattering smile on his face, "Princess, are you satisfied now?"

Looking at the empty wine glass, Song Xinyu snorted coldly, "You know the truth, but if you don't listen to me in the future, don't blame me for sending you down to accompany Qiao Ru'an!"

Cheng Beinuo knelt on the ground with a plop, "But according to the princess's orders, my subordinates will obey everything."

Looking at the man lying on the ground, Song Xinyu finally calmed down a little.

"I know that Shen Ling was obsessed with you before. Now I want you to seduce Shen Ling. You must make her fall in love with you again. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

"Princess, don't worry, my subordinates will definitely do it." Cheng Beinuo hurriedly expressed his loyalty.

Song Xinyu stood up and glanced at Cheng Beinuo with cold eyes, "Then I am waiting for your good news. You must not let me down."

Cheng Beinuo didn't dare to get up until Song Xinyu left. He immediately prepared many treasures and went to the Imperial Master's Mansion, but Shen Ling didn't see him at all.

In desperation, Cheng Beinuo sent his men to inquire about Shen Ling's preferences. He learned that Shen Ling liked the dishes of Lingyu Restaurant and often went there, so he stayed at the restaurant day and night.

On this day, seeing Shen Ling and his men walking towards the restaurant, Cheng Beinuo, who was sitting on a chair, immediately couldn't hold himself back and walked to Shen Ling in a few strides.

"Ling'er, after waiting here for so many days, I finally see you."

Shen Ling raised his eyebrows and looked at the person blocking his way, "I wonder what General Cheng is looking for me?"

Cheng Beinuo looked anxious and stepped forward to grab Shen Ling's hand, but Shen Ling turned around and dodged lightly, "Ling'er, are you still blaming me for marrying Qiao Ru'an before?"

Shen Ling remained silent, she wanted to see what Cheng Beinuo wanted to do.

Cheng Beinuo's face was full of regret and he continued: "I was forced by Qiao Ru'an. She said that if I didn't marry her, she would attack you. I had no choice but to marry her."

"Ling'er, I love you in my heart." He said, taking out the things he bought earlier, "Look, this is your favorite hairpin made by Yinfenglou, and this, this is your favorite food I remember all the sweet-scented osmanthus cakes."

After hearing this, the guard accompanying Shen Ling couldn't help but taunt, "General Cheng, Miss Qiao's body has not yet cooled down. I wonder what he will think when he sees you like this."

Shen Ling was stunned after hearing this, "Qiao Ru'an is dead?"

Cheng Beinuo's face stiffened for a moment, and then he said: "That poisonous woman was rewarded for her evil deeds. She got sick, and the medicine was ineffective, and she died soon after."

"Ling'er, now that Qiao Ru'an is dead, no one will threaten me anymore. Can you forgive me for what I did before?" As he spoke, Cheng Beinuo put his knees together and knelt directly in front of Shen Ling.

Shen Ling acted deliberately and took out a handkerchief to wipe the non-existent tears at the corners of her eyes.

"Although Qiao Ru'an forced you to do it, Brother Nuo, you have broken my heart. Unless you kneel here all afternoon, I will consider whether to forgive you."

When Cheng Beinuo heard that there was something going on, he quickly expressed his loyalty, "As long as you can forgive me, Ling'er, I am willing to kneel for as long as you want."

The two of them were at the door of the restaurant. Cheng Beinuo's kneeling appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention, but he didn't take it seriously. It seemed that he was really just trying to make Shen Ling forgive him.

After entering the door and going to the second floor, she found a seat just in sight of the door and sat down. Shen Ling whispered to the guard beside her, "Go through the back door of the restaurant and tell them that Qiao Ru'an died of illness and that Cheng Beinuo is pestering me at the door of the restaurant."

The guard quietly retreated according to Shen Ling's instructions. Not long after, there was a sudden noise at the door of the restaurant, and the guard returned to Shen Ling's side.

A gorgeously dressed lady rushed to Cheng Beinuo and grabbed Cheng Beinuo's clothes, "Cheng Beinuo! How come my daughter, who was so good, died!"

Cheng Beinuo's heart sank. He had not announced the news of Qiao Ruan's death. How could the Qiao family know about it so quickly?

"Let go." Cheng Beinuo broke away from Mrs. Qiao's hand, stood up and backed away.

"Qiao Ru'an died of illness."

Originally, Mrs. Qiao was still lucky and didn't believe that her daughter was dead. But now that Cheng Beinuo had personally confirmed it, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

Mrs. Qiao's vision went dark, she took two breaths and almost fainted, but she was filled with doubts and she still managed to survive.

Raising her hand tremblingly, Mrs. Qiao asked: "Cheng Beinuo! Since my daughter died of illness, why did you hide the news of her death and not report it! There was no funeral in the house!"

In a panic, Cheng Beinuo was afraid that Mrs. Qiao would see the flaw, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to defend, "Ru'an loved beauty the most when he was alive, but now he has died of illness and looks haggard, so I hired a widow to dress her up carefully, and the funeral was temporarily put on hold."

Mrs. Qiao shook her head repeatedly, looking sad and angry. She stepped forward and asked, "It's full of nonsense. My daughter's body is still cold, but you are here kneeling down to seduce other women. How could you ask a widower to dress up Ru'an? Why don't you return my daughter's body?" Give it to me, I want to see for myself if Ru'an really died of a sudden illness as you said!"

Cold sweat couldn't help but ooze from Cheng Beinuo's forehead. No, he absolutely couldn't let anyone see Qiao Ruan's body, otherwise everything would be over by then!

With fierce eyes, she pushed Mrs. Qiao away, "Qiao Ru'an has married into my Cheng family, the Cheng family in life and death, and the Cheng family ghost in death. There is no way I can return Qiao Ru'an's body to you!"

Shen Ling leaned on the railing of the restaurant and looked down, with a little confusion in her moist eyes.

Cheng Beinuo's behavior is really weird. If Qiao Ru'an really died of illness, he could have carried out the funeral normally, and then pursuing himself would be more reasonable. But now that the funeral has not happened, he still refuses to let his mother-in-law see his daughter's body, which means that Qiao Ru'an's death may be There is another reason, and this reason must be reflected in the corpse.

The more Shen Ling thought about it, the more something was wrong, and she calmly asked the previous guard.

"You said Qiao Ruan's body was still cold, but have you ever seen her body?"

"I have never seen it before. After Miss Qiao died, General Cheng had someone cover Miss Qiao's body with a white cloth to prevent anyone from getting close."
