A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

Shen Qingqian subconsciously turned her head to look out the window, but the ancient windows had no glass, so she could only vaguely see the movement of people outside, and nothing else could be seen clearly.

"Qing Qian, don't worry about what's going on outside. I want to have a good talk with you about what's going on between us."

Zhao Yichen wanted to reconcile with Shen Qingqian. The purpose of his sitting here was to clear up the misunderstandings with Shen Qingqian and resolve the past grudges. He didn't care about other things.

Zhao Yichen was a little anxious when he heard Shen Qingqian say that they wanted to separate again. He grabbed Shen Qingqian's hand and said, "Qingqian, the reason why I took extra care of Xinyue was because General Mu entrusted me with this. But in my heart, Xinyue is at best just a sister, and you are my future wife.

Qing Qian, let's put the unpleasantness that happened before in the past behind us. From now on, can we get along well with each other like before?"

Zhao Yichen's tone was sincere at this moment, even with a hint of pleading. But Shen Qingqian would no longer believe such words.

She was about to pull her hand away when a waiter rushed in from outside and came straight to them.

"My dear guests, there is a girl outside who was hit by a carriage. It seems to be the girl you were with just now. Do you want to go out and take a look?"

"Could it be Xinyue?"

When Zhao Yichen heard what the waiter said, he suddenly stood up from his seat and ran out quickly without even saying a word to Shen Qingqian.

The hand that Shen Qingqian had held was still frozen in mid-air. The remaining warmth gradually dissipated, and her heart became even colder.

She gave a sarcastic smile. Fortunately, she no longer had any expectations, otherwise she would have been even more disappointed!

Shen Qingqian slowly stood up, paid for the meal without even taking a bite, and then walked out of the restaurant.

This street is very busy and wide. There are a lot of people gathered diagonally opposite the restaurant. It should be that Mu Xinyue was hit by a carriage, and everyone was watching.

Shen Qingqian didn't want to join in the fun. Zhao Yichen would naturally take care of Mu Xinyue's situation. It had nothing to do with her.

Shen Qingqian planned to leave in a carriage. Zhao Yifeng said he was waiting for her outside, so he was probably waiting in her carriage! When they left the palace gate, Zhao Yifeng also came to the restaurant in her carriage.

At this moment, an old male voice came out from the crowd: "Fifth Prince, spare my life. I really didn't hit this girl. She fell down by herself."

Shen Qingqian paused. Wasn't this the voice of Old Man Feng, her driver?

Shen Qingqian felt that something was wrong, so she walked over quickly, pushed through the crowd and squeezed to the front.

Sure enough, she saw that it was her carriage that was surrounded by the crowd!

Next to the carriage, Mu Xinyue was sitting on the ground, half leaning in Zhao Yichen's arms. Her expression was somewhat painful, with traces of tears on her face, which made people feel distressed when seeing it.

Her driver, Old Man Feng, was kneeling on the ground with a look of sorrow on his face and beads of sweat on his forehead!

Zhao Yifeng stood beside them and said angrily, "Fifth brother, I can testify that it was Mu Xinyue who fell down by herself. The carriage didn't hit her at all!"

When Shen Qingqian saw this, she probably guessed that Mu Xinyue was causing trouble again. She asked coldly, "Zhao Yifeng, what's going on?"

When Zhao Yifeng saw that it was Shen Qingqian, he quickly pulled her arm and said, "Shen Qingqian, you came at the right time. It was this Mu Xinyue who was blackmailing people! She obviously fell down by herself, but she insisted on blaming us."

When Mu Xinyue heard his words, her expression instantly became extremely aggrieved, and she looked at Zhao Yifeng in disbelief with her big tearful eyes.

After a moment, when everyone thought she was going to refute Zhao Yifeng, she took a deep breath and said with forbearance: "The Sixth Prince is right, I fell accidentally, it has nothing to do with others."

She looked at Zhao Yichen again, gave him a bitter smile, and said, "Brother Yichen, my legs hurt, can you take me back?"

Seeing her like this, Zhao Yichen couldn't hide the look of heartache on his face.

"Xinyue, don't worry, I won't let you suffer any injustice."

He looked at Old Man Feng again, and his eyes instantly turned into anger.

"In any case, Xinyue's fall is related to you as the coachman, so I will punish you with twenty lashes, which will be considered as an explanation to Xinyue."

Old Man Feng moved his lips, but in the end he said nothing. What could he say? He was just a servant, and this matter was just his bad luck.

He sighed in his heart, hoping that his old bones could still withstand twenty lashes!

Shen Qingqian was speechless about Mu Xinyue and Zhao Yichen. One was performing to his heart's content, while the other trusted and cooperated with him unconditionally.

At this moment, she was completely disillusioned with Zhao Yichen. She felt that Zhao Yichen was not worthy of her any more attachment.

She walked to Old Man Feng with an expressionless face and said, "Uncle Feng, you don't have to kneel down. Stand up and tell me what happened."

Old Man Feng did not dare to get up. He just looked at her and said guiltily, "I'm sorry, young lady. I am the one who caused you trouble. I am willing to be punished."

Zhao Yifeng had long been fed up with Mu Xinyue's pretentious attitude, but he didn't expect that his fifth brother would actually favor this woman!

He stood up and said, "This is what happened. After I came out of the restaurant, I wanted you to talk to Brother Wu for a while, so I asked Old Man Feng to take me back to the mansion to get some things.

Who knew that this woman Mu Xinyue also followed me and said she wanted to take a carriage back to the Fifth Brother's house. I refused and asked her to take the Fifth Brother's carriage back by herself. She said that the carriage should be kept for the Fifth Brother, otherwise it would be inconvenient for the Fifth Brother to go back.

I asked her to rent a carriage and then let the driver drive. But as soon as our carriage left, the woman suddenly fell to the ground. She even said that our carriage hit her. Isn't this extortion?"

Shen Qingqian understood, and it was almost the same as she guessed. She looked at Mu Xinyue coldly. This woman kept looking for trouble. Did she really think she was made of clay?

She personally helped Old Man Feng up and comforted him, "Uncle Feng, you belong to me, Shen Qingqian. Since this matter is not your fault, I will never let you take the blame and suffer an undeserved disaster."

"Thank you very much, young lady."

Old Man Feng was deeply moved to see Shen Qingqian not only speak for him but also personally come to help him. He kowtowed to Shen Qingqian and stood aside.
