The night was deep at Chen County's residence.

Madam Chen leaned against the couch, reading a book.

Suddenly, the curtain was lifted, and a person walked in from outside.

Madam Chen was startled and focused her gaze. She saw the person was pale and clean, with a jade-like complexion, and a mole on the left cheek. He approached her with a warm smile.

When he reached the couch, he suddenly grabbed Madam Chen's shoulders and leaned in.

"Who are you?! Help! Someone! Help!" Madam Chen screamed.

The man's expression turned fierce as he slapped her hard. Madam Chen's pupils constricted suddenly; the handsome man she saw just moments ago now had a face covered with dark yellow fur.

Outside, the night guards heard the commotion and rushed in: "Madam, are you alright?!"

Madam Chen, in terror, looked toward the door and found two people barging in, their faces also covered in dark yellow fur, revealing long sharp teeth in the dim light as they grinned menacingly: "Don't be afraid, madam! We're here!"

The night was quiet, echoing with the woman's scream: "Ah!!!"

Madam Huang, after a night of formation treatment, was visibly better the next day.

When Yanjue went to see her, she was still lying in bed but smiled weakly upon seeing Yanjue, her face a bit pale.

Duan Luxi intentionally praised Yanjue: "It was this lady Yanjue who saved you last night."

Madam Huang was taken aback, struggled to sit up from bed, and deeply bowed toward Yanjue: "Thank you, hero."

Yanjue and Duan Luxi exchanged glances and smiled, saying, "No need for thanks; it was a collective effort."

Qi Xianqing raised her eyebrows slightly but remained silent.

According to Duan Luxi, Madam Huang's current state was called "soul return," meaning her spirit had been summoned back, leaving her in an extremely weak condition.

Madam Huang's condition was still quite good; she managed to chat with them for a few moments before becoming drowsy and wanting to sleep.

Throughout, she didn't spare a glance at Chu Fu behind her, occasionally catching sight of his disgusted expression.

Chu Fu stood at the back of the crowd, looking at her with indifference, raising his head as if the events of the previous night had never happened.

After all, he had already apologized to the senior sister for this matter and had received her guidance.

As long as the senior sister could forgive him, that was enough.

Yanjue looked at Madam Huang, her thoughts racing.

If Madam Huang had ended up with Chu Fu while in a soul-lost state last night, it might have decided the course of her life.

Everyone's life should be in their own hands; knowing the outcome in advance should not lead them to neglect Madam Huang.

Thanks to Qi Xianqing, she had come to realize this.

...

When Yanjue woke up this morning, she found her chest was aching again.

She knew this was likely due to the fact that the romantic developments between the male and female leads had completely deviated from the normal path because of her.
