"The third sister has misunderstood. The second sister and cousin Qianyi have nothing to do with each other."
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone looked at her blankly.
The eyes of Shen Qianyi and Ruan Qingluan were full of surprise and suspicion.
Ruan Changhuan's attention was focused on the word "simply".
While tugging, she saw several red marks under Ruan Qingluan's collar.
She didn't think much about it just now, but now that she thinks about it, she can't understand it anymore.
Although she was inexperienced, she had secretly seen the secret scene, so she naturally understood some things.
She looked at Ruan Qingluan with eyes that were about to burst into flames.
Ruan Tang pretended to have said something wrong and hurriedly covered his mouth, but quickly explained: "I made a mistake. What I meant was that cousin Qianyi and the second sister are innocent, not the third sister. That’s what you think.”
"Hmph! Ruan Tang, it's none of your business. If you dare to help this little hoof, I'll beat you up too."
Ruan Tang shrank his neck and pretended to be frightened by Ruan Changhuan's words.
Then he said in a trembling voice: "Third sister, I didn't mean to favor anyone. I told the truth. It was my intention for the second sister to be with Cousin Qianyi."
After saying these words, Ruan Changhuan looked at her with even sharper eyes.
"I asked cousin Qianyi to go look for the second sister. Originally, I came here to relax with the second sister, but I accidentally sprained my foot. The second sister kindly wanted to help me find medicine in the paddock, but Maybe I got lost, and I waited for a long time without seeing her back. It happened that cousin Qianyi came over, so I asked him to help find my second sister."
"Then what you saw, third sister and brother, was all my fault. I shouldn't have..."
As he said that, Ruan Tang's face showed full of apology.
Although Shen Qianyi and Ruan Qingluan were full of doubts about Ruan Tang, they didn't understand why she would help them?
However, the two of them had just been having fun deep in the bamboo forest. This matter was not suitable to be made public, so they had no choice but to remain silent and acquiesced to Ruan Tang's statement.
"I just said, how could the Crown Prince and your second sister be ignorant of the importance? Huan'er, please quickly apologize to the Crown Prince and your second sister."
Ruan Changhuan snorted, raised his chin high, and said arrogantly: "You want me to apologize to this goblin? I'm dreaming!"
Seeing that Ruan Changhuan refused to bow his head, Ruan Wenxuan became a little anxious.
It doesn't matter whether he apologizes to Ruan Qingluan or not.
But Shen Qianyi was the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion after all. If he was blamed, they wouldn't be able to live with it.
"Huan'er, stop making trouble and apologize quickly."
"I do not want!"
"..."
Ruan Wenxuan had no choice but to bow to Shen Qianyi for her: "Your Majesty, I apologize for Huan'er. Don't argue with him. She is just a child and is ignorant."
Shen Qianyi looked solemn and waved his hands, but said nothing.
Ruan Wenxuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Shen Qianyi not pursuing the matter, and then looked at Ruan Qingluan.
"Second sister, if you like that your sister is still young and ignorant, don't argue with her."
Ruan Qingluan was born as a concubine and was suppressed by his two brothers and sisters since he was a child.
Ruan Wenxuan was a smiling tiger, and he didn't do anything to her on the surface, but he had watched Ruan Changhuan bully her since he was a child, and he always pretended not to see it, or just said, "Huan'er is still young."
When she was young, she was ignorant and didn't take it to heart, but as she grew older, Ruan Changhuan bullied her more and more unscrupulously, and her hatred for her became stronger.
But she knew that when she was not capable of fighting her, she had to restrain her edge.
When Shen Qianyi marries her, she will definitely pay back to her double what she has suffered over the years.
She raised her hand to wipe the tears from her face and nodded towards Ruan Wenxuan, "Brother, I know."
Ruan Wenxuan was very satisfied, and then told them to go back first, and then dragged Ruan Changhuan away.
After they walked away, Shen Qianyi looked at Ruan Tang.
"Why did you lie just now?"
Ruan Tang raised his eyes and glanced at him, then lowered his head pretending to be shy.
"Cousin, I know you are not that kind of person. You and your second sister should have met by chance together. But if the third sister misunderstood and then spread the word, it would not only affect your cousin, but also our Jing'an Marquis Mansion. It’s not good.”
Shen Qianyi nodded, no longer doubting her words.
But after a moment, he asked again: "Why are you here?"
"Oh, I wasn't very interested in the things in the paddock, so I took Xia Zhu out for a walk. Unexpectedly, I found this quiet bamboo forest. I forgot about it and stayed here for a long time."
"What about your feet?" Shen Qianyi lowered his eyes and looked at her feet.
Ruan Tang subconsciously shrank his feet and retracted them under his long skirt.
"I accidentally twisted it while walking just now. It's nothing serious."
"Yes!" Shen Qianyi responded lightly, and then stopped talking.
After a long time, Ruan Tang spoke again: "I am planning to go back to my hometown now. I just asked Xia Zhu to rent a carriage for me. Do you want my second sister to come with me?"
Ruan Qingluan didn't want to be with her.
But now that I am like this, if others see me, I am afraid that I will lose all face.
She blessed Ruan Tang and said, "Thank you, sister."
She looked so pitiful and delicate.
"We are a family. Second sister, there is no need to be polite. Then cousin, you..."
"Don't worry about me, I will go back by myself later. You can take sister Qingluan back. She looks like this. She must go back quickly to get medicine."
"Okay, see you later, cousin."
Ruan Tang said goodbye to him obediently, then turned around and limped towards the carriage.
Her starry eyes gradually became colder, and all the disguise on her face faded.
Whether in this life or in the past, Shen Qianyi had the least sympathy for her.
Even if he knew that she had sprained her foot, there would not be a word of concern.
Thanks to his previous life, the original owner liked him for a long time and regarded him as the god who saved him.
But she never thought that he was the ghost who dragged her into hell.
The original owner was probably blinded by her love for him. In fact, from the very beginning, Shen Qianyi didn't like her at all. He only wanted to marry her because of the dowry in her hand.
She even felt that Shen Qianyi had feelings for both Ruan Changhuan and Ruan Qingluan, but not for her.
She got into the carriage with Xia Zhu's help, and Ruan Qingluan followed.
After the carriage drove some distance away, Ruan Qingluan also showed a sarcastic look on his face.
Then he smiled and said: "Sister, you are so generous. You know clearly that Qianyi and I are not innocent, but you still pretend to be deaf and dumb? Do you want to use this to numb yourself?"
Ruan Tang didn't look at her, but instead had an indifferent smile on his lips.
After a while, Youyou turned around, looked at her, and replied: "Sister, you are really ignorant! Sister helped you kindly, but you didn't say thank you, and you made sour remarks. What's wrong? Sister wants to put you and your cousin together." Is it true that everyone knows about my slander?"
"You..." Ruan Qingluan was angry.
"If I were my sister, I would be obedient. When I am not sure that my cousin will marry you, I should hide my strength and bide my time. Besides, your enemy is not me. Don't make any mistakes, sister."
