The female supporting role is really here to mess things up

When Song Hanyi returned to the Zhuangyuan Mansion, he happened to run into Gu Yuan. The two looked at each other, but neither of them said a word, let alone communicated with their spiritual consciousness. They just passed by each other, and the atmosphere was so subtle that it was hard to understand. Then Song Hanyi saw Lu Qingxi, who had just sent someone back home, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart. He hadn't seen her for half a month, and when he saw her again, his heart was sour and swollen, as if he was moved by something.

He recalled how Gu Yuan was familiar with the guard just now, and an indescribable feeling surged in his heart. Impulsively, he asked directly: "Why are you staying with Second Junior Brother, I..." After he said this, he realized that his tone seemed a little inappropriate, so he stopped talking angrily.

Lu Qingxi was stunned by Song Hanyi's sudden question. She glanced at the servants around her who were confused. Although she was confused, she still used her spiritual sense to send a message to Song Hanyi: "We are together because of the plot arrangement. What's wrong with you today? You don't look well?" Lu Qingxi originally wanted to ask about the progress of Song Hanyi and Mu Jingxuan's relationship, but when she saw Song Hanyi looking at her with a complicated look, she vaguely sensed something and did not ask.

After receiving Lu Qingxi's message, Song Hanyi felt annoyed. He looked at the clear eyes of the woman in front of him, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart. Why should he worry that she would fall in love? Was he too concerned? He sighed deeply in his heart and began to share with Lu Qingxi what had happened in the palace in the past half month.

In the following days, the emperor and the empress did not take any action. But starting from the fourth day, Mu Jingxuan suddenly stayed in the Zhuangyuan Mansion. The reason she gave was quite absurd, saying that she wanted to learn women's work from Lu Qingxi, who was not good at embroidery. Since then, the following scene often appeared in the Zhuangyuan Mansion: Lu Qingxi and Mu Jingxuan were embroidering in the pavilion, while Gu Yuan and Song Hanyi were drinking tea and playing chess in the pavilion next to them. The three of them seemed to think that such a day was quite interesting, but Lu Qingxi was the only one who looked eagerly at the servants and maids beside her, hoping that they could give some "suggestions" to push the plot forward.

More than half a month passed, and finally, someone pushed the plot forward. However, the first person to move was Su Da, who served Song Hanyi. He got a letter from Zhang Zongguan, saying that it was for "Li Wanqing". Upon hearing this, Lu Qingxi took the letter, and was then taken by Xiaomei to another place to read the letter. At the same time, Mo Yan beside Gu Yuan also began to whisper in his ear. After listening, Gu Yuan used his spiritual sense to inform the two people in front of him of what Mo Yan had guided him to do: he needed to leave space for the two of them to be alone, and then try to let "Wanqing" see their intimacy. In order to make the two of them get along more naturally, he left first, and went to find "Wanqing" by the way. After delivering the message, Gu Yuan smiled at Song Hanyi, then got up and left.

After Gu Yuan left, Mu Jingxuan noticed that Song Hanyi's face looked a little strange, and sighed in her heart. But she still spoke: "It seems that there is something wrong with the embroidery here, Mr. Song, can you come over and help me take a look?" Song Hanyi stood there for a few seconds, but finally walked towards Mu Jingxuan reluctantly.

Lu Qingxi opened the letter, which was from the Song couple. The letter mentioned that they knew that they had a deep relationship, but they still hoped that Lu Qingxi could persuade Song Hanyi to give up the original engagement. The letter bluntly informed them that the emperor had sent someone to warn them that if they did not give up the engagement, Song Hanyi's life would be in danger. Seeing Xiaomei stamping her feet in anger after reading the letter, Lu Qingxi understood that the plot was finally moving forward. She was just about to return to her yard, but she ran into Gu Yuan at the corner.

The two of them exchanged a few polite words in front of Xiaomei and Mo Yan. Seeing that Lu Qingxi was about to leave, Gu Yuan suddenly said, "Miss Li seems to have left a handkerchief in the pavilion. Why don't you go back and get it?" At the same time, he used his spiritual sense to tell Lu Qingxi, "I need to take you back to the pavilion." After listening, Lu Qingxi hid the handkerchief in her sleeve, then said yes, and the two returned together.

However, the scene they saw was not very shocking. The distance between Mu Jingxuan and Song Hanyi was enough for two Lu Qingxi to stand. Lu Qingxi guessed that something was wrong with the scene in front of him, so he used his spiritual sense to send a message to the two of them: "I'm here."

In fact, the two had already heard the footsteps, but neither of them chose to approach the other. After hearing what Lu Qingxi had transmitted through his spiritual sense, Mu Jingxuan saw that Song Hanyi's body had become even more tense, and a sense of loss flashed through her heart. She slowed down for a while, and finally took the initiative to approach Song Hanyi and stretched out her hand in front of him: "My hand seems to be punctured, can you help me take a look."

Song Hanyi frowned when he heard this, and looked down for a long while. Lu Qingxi saw that the two of them finally had some interaction, and the stone in her heart fell to the ground. Xiaomei beside her said angrily: "Mr. Song is really sympathetic to women. Since he has already climbed up the social ladder, why is he still pretending to be infatuated with my lady? Why not cancel the engagement first and give my lady freedom!" After saying that, she hurried forward, pulling Lu Qingxi.

Lu Qingxi thought about it and said, "Cousin, let's cancel the engagement." Song Hanyi had clearly told himself that this was an illusion, but he still couldn't resist the delusion in his heart. There was a voice in his heart that kept shouting that he couldn't let her go, absolutely not. He didn't think much and chose to refuse.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, because the air around them had a small vibration. But it soon became smaller and smaller. After a few minutes, the air returned to calm, and the plot did not reverse.

However, in the next few days, Gu Yuan received another suggestion from Mo Yan. He chose an evening, wore a mask, kidnapped Lu Qingxi and Mu Jingxuan, and took them to the edge of the cliff. Then, he sent a letter to Song Hanyi, asking him to come here to rescue them.

On the surface, neither the kidnapped nor the kidnapper spoke, but in fact, the two of them had been discussing in their minds for a long time. After listening to their thoughts, Lu Qingxi still felt that something was wrong. When Song Hanyi chose not to cancel the engagement at the last plot point, the air around them was clearly shaking at first. She knew that she had made the wrong choice, but for some reason, she regained her composure and the plot continued to move forward. If Song Hanyi had chosen to agree to cancel the engagement at that time, then perhaps this kidnapping would not have appeared in the plot.

After thinking this through, Lu Qingxi decided to wait for Song Hanyi to come and let him choose to save Mu Jingxuan. Not long after, Song Hanyi arrived on horseback. Seeing the two women standing on the edge of the cliff, his heart sank. Although he had listened to Lu Qingxi's analysis, his heart still couldn't calm down. He opened and closed his eyes, and his mind was filled with Lu Qingxi's shaky appearance. What made him even more difficult to accept was that the woman who made him so worried was still persuading him to choose to save another woman.

Song Hanyi's emotions eventually overcame his rationality, and he blurted out, "I choose Wanqing." The air began to vibrate, but this time it did not return to the scene of everyone in the pavilion. Instead, Mo Yan's voice sounded in front of Song Hanyi again: "Who do you want to choose?"
