"This medicine was made by Zhong Lingling based on the methods found in books from the Xiang Mansion's basement. She had never tested it before, so she didn't know if it would be effective!"
Leaning against the door, Zhong Lingling pressed her ear to it, listening for any noise outside. As seconds and minutes ticked by, nothing stirred!
She thought, 'Could it be that it's not effective?'
Luo Ye had made the windows here very small to prevent her escape, as if the room had been designed to be a prison cell from the start, just a more luxurious one. The doors and windows of the usual living room were all closed, ruling out the possibility that the medicine became ineffective because the doors and windows were open.
Unconsciously, two hours had passed, and it was already five o'clock in the morning.
