Saving Zhang Chen with an elixir was not a secret that couldn't be told. After all, even if she didn't say it, Shen Qiu would eventually bring the news back.
Jiang Nan recounted how she met Zhang Chen on the ship, found him dead midway, and saved him with an elixir.
"That's when I formed some friendship with him." Jiang Nan said calmly.
"You actually used an elixir to save him—what a waste of that precious elixir. You should have let him die on the road; it would have been better than causing so much trouble now. Sister, you've put me in a tough spot!" Shen Ling complained to Jiang Nan, expressing her bitterness.
