"What kind of retribution is this? It was clearly us who set the fire..."
Shen Qinghai muttered, looked up and saw Gu Beichen and An Ruowan looking at him, and then closed their mouths submissively.
An Ruowan smiled and looked at this little fool, "Uncle Shen Guo, you and I just burned the haystack in the backyard just to run out. Even though there was smoke, it was extinguished very quickly."
"What does this raging fire have to do with you and me?"
Shen Qinghai nodded confusedly, "Yes, when we came out, the fire was almost extinguished. It couldn't have started burning just like that."
Seeing his lack of brains, An Ruowan shook her head secretly. Although this guy was stupid, he was raised by the Queen and he was a pure-hearted person.
The carriage passed the long street in front, and An Ruowan immediately stopped the carriage.
There is another alley ahead to reach the Prime Minister's Mansion. An Ruowan didn't want the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion to see the carriage from Prince Rong's Mansion, "I'll get off here. Prince, be careful on your way back."
An Ruowan got off the carriage, walked through the alley in front, and disappeared at the entrance of the alley.
"Brother Beichen, why don't you send her to the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
Gu Beichen glanced at Shen Qinghai and said, "I'll take you back to the palace first."
"oh."
As soon as she stepped into the door of the mansion, An Ruowan was stopped by the nanny waiting in front of the door, "Miss, please go to the front hall."
The news about her being attacked on the long street has probably been spread for a long time, so asking her to go to the front office now probably won't do anything good.
An Ruowan responded, "Mom, please lead the way."
In the front hall, everyone from the big family was there. When they saw her stepping into the front hall, they all stared at An Ruowan as if they were looking at her.
Seeing her walking in, An Zhengqian cleared his throat and was about to speak. An Ruowan sat directly on the chair next to her as if there was no one around.
…
An Zhengqian looked ugly, while An Zhining was concerned about An Ruowan, "Sister, I heard that your carriage was attacked when you came back, and you were also robbed. We are in a hurry. Is sister okay?"
"in a hurry?"
An Ruowan took a sip of hot tea and raised her eyebrows, "You guys sit peacefully in the front hall. I don't see what you are anxious about."
An Huaiyu frowned and shouted, "Zhining is worried about you too, why are you talking so hastily as soon as you come back!"
"To be honest, this is called rushing, so I have nothing to say." An Ruowan put down the tea cup and stood up, "I'm tired, so I'll go back and rest first."
"etc!"
An Zhengqian stopped An Ruowan sternly, "You were kidnapped by gangsters on the road. Now you have lost your daughter's family's reputation for chastity!"
"Yes." Meng Zhiyi couldn't wait to answer: "Many pairs of eyes on the long street saw that the carriage of the Zhenguo Duke's Palace was robbed, and in the carriage sat the girl from our Prime Minister's Palace!"
"And the carriage finally disappeared near Zuixiang Tower. If you remarry to the palace, I'm afraid it will harm the reputation of our prime minister's palace and the palace!"
An Ruowan sneered in her heart, she was waiting for her here.
She didn't expose it, turned around and pretended to be wrong, and yelled, "I didn't show up! Who knows who is sitting in the carriage?!"
An Zhining frowned when she heard this and clenched her fingers fiercely. An Ruowan was indeed abducted into Zuixiang Tower! Now she finally caught the little bitch's mistake!
"You evil beast! Are you still making excuses?!"
An Zhengqian slammed the table, "Are you going to make me mad?!"
"Sister." An Zhining persuaded softly, "Even if you enter Zuixiang Tower, it's not a big deal. This is not what sister wants. As long as sister is fine, it will be fine."
They wanted to insist that she came from the Zuixiang Building, and her reputation would be stained regardless of whether she had infected anyone in the building.
Looking at the people in this room, An Ruowan just wanted to sneer. The pain they had caused her in her previous life had made him cold and cold towards these people, and he no longer had any hope.
But now that she heard that these people were trying to ruin her reputation for An Zhining, she couldn't help but laugh at herself.
"I still said the same thing, I just came back from my grandfather's place, I don't know what happened!"
An Huaiying stood up and pointed at An Ruowan and said, "What are you still arguing about? Are you crazy about wanting to marry into the prince's palace?! Your reputation has been ruined, and you still want to marry the prince!"
"An Ruowan, don't be stubborn. If your prince knows about this shameful thing, it will bring bad luck to our whole family."
An Huaiyu was calmer than An Huaiying, but he still persuaded An Ruowan, "I'll tell the prince tomorrow to cancel the marriage."
"Why should I cancel this marriage?"
An Ruowan raised her lips and looked at the people around her, "Since you don't want to be blood relatives with me, why did you bring me back in the first place?"
"I just want the reputation of your prime minister's house, so I don't need to be the legitimate daughter of the prime minister's house. It's better than being insulted by you here!"
An Huaiyu stood up, "We are all doing this for your own good, you..."
"Save it!"
An Ruowan looked at An Huaiyu with coldness in her eyes, "Don't always hurt me under the guise of doing good for me. I'm not a child anymore!"
"If it was really for my own good, even if it was me who was robbed on the street, the whole family should be planning to cover it up for me instead of rushing to tear off this fig leaf!"
An Ruowan was extremely calm and raised her hand to point in the direction of An Zhining, "If she was robbed outside today, what would your reaction be?"
"I'm afraid we have to send people from the palace to search everywhere early in the morning, instead of the whole family sitting in the front hall, waiting for her to come back from danger alone, and accuse her of losing her virginity and face?!"
An Ruowan looked at the indignant An Huaiying, "If it were her, would you still jump up and scold her for ruining your reputation?"
"I……"
An Huaiying hesitated, unable to think of a response.
But Meng Zhiyi suddenly got angry, "What do you mean?! Could it be that you want to curse your sister? If something like this happens to you, do you want your sister to do the same thing?!"
"Mom, don't be angry." An Zhining said with red eyes, "Sister is just too excited, she definitely doesn't mean to harm me."
An Ruowan smiled, too lazy to argue with these people, "You bunch of scoundrels, what am I saying to you here? You can't understand human speech anyway."
She turned and left, deaf to the shouts and curses in the front hall behind her.
When An Ruowan returned to the backyard, Caihuan went crazy with anxiety, "Miss, you are finally back! We heard at the mansion that something happened to the carriage you were riding in, and we were all anxious!"
"Nothing, go prepare some food, I'm hungry."
"Hey." Caihuan responded immediately after hearing this: "Slave, let the kitchen prepare it now!"
Not long after the maid went out, there was a knock on the door of An Ruo's evening room, "Miss, the third young master wants to see you."
