"I... I just happened to come to Yunya Residence and bumped into you. Why did you have to say such unpleasant things, sister?"

Yun Xiwan bit her lip and turned her gaze to Yun Chengze beside her. "Cousin Chengze, look at my sister. How could she think of me like this?"

Yun Chengze put down his cup, his eyes cold and clear. "You speak so nicely?"

Yun Xiwan: "!!!"

"I see your Brother Qin seems to have another girl with him. Why don't you hurry up and keep an eye on him? What if someone snatches him away?"

Song Ruozhen's lips curled slightly as she looked at Zhao Shuwan, who was not far away. How interesting!

Yun Xiwan turned her eyes and frowned the moment she saw Zhao Shuwan. Why is this woman here again?

"Since my sister doesn't like me, I'll be leaving now."

Yun Xiwan left after saying a few words about tea, looking rather aggrieved.

Yun Nianchu looked displeased. The image of Yun Xiwan looking at her cousin flashed through her mind. Could it be that this girl also had feelings for her cousin?

She might as well go back and talk to her mother and suggest that Yun Xiwan marry Qin Xiangheng, so that she wouldn't have to see this annoying woman in the mansion anymore!

While Yun Chengze was ordering food, Song Ruozhen overheard Yun Nianchu's plan, and only one thought came to her mind.

What do you do if you have a sister who's obsessed with romance?

She didn't care at all that Yun Xiwan had stolen the husband her mother had arranged for her!

However, considering that Yun Chengze is also a good match, let's just let him be love-struck!

Yun Chengze ordered the whole fish feast that Yun Nianchu had been longing for, and the taste was exactly what she liked. He even remembered details such as her dislike of scallions and the need for more spice.

As plate after plate of fish was served, Yun Nianchu ate with great relish, while the other side became even more lively.

"Zhao Shuwan, didn't you just break off your engagement with Song Yi'an? I heard you were quite heartbroken about it. What brings you here today?"

Yun Xi spoke softly and gently, but couldn't help but think to herself:

Could it be that this woman, seeing that Song Yi'an has no hope of passing the imperial examination, has turned her attention to Young Master Qin?

Her mother said that Qin Xiangheng comes from a good family and is talented, so he has a good chance of being selected in this year's imperial examination.

Since Madam was able to choose Qin Xiangheng for Yun Nianchu, he must be quite good.

She could never win against Yun Nianchu since she was a child.

Even though her mother and father got together first, she could only be a concubine's daughter. Now that she's getting married, she's determined to marry someone better than Yun Nianchu!

The moment Zhao Shuwan saw Yun Xiwan, she sensed a threat. "I've known Brother Xiang Heng for a long time. What's so strange about my visit today?"

"I was just thinking that Brother Qin and Song Yi'an are good friends, and you should avoid suspicion since you just broke off your engagement."

Yun Xiwan blinked, looking innocent.

Seeing the woman repeatedly mention the annulment of the engagement, Zhao Shuwan gritted her teeth. The last thing she wanted to hear was the annulment of the engagement, let alone in front of so many people!

Those around them naturally already knew about the annulment of the engagement between the Zhao and Song families.

When the news of this engagement first broke, everyone thought it was a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung.

Song Yi'an is a flower.

As the most outstanding student of the Imperial Academy and the teacher's favorite disciple, almost everyone was certain that he would pass the imperial examinations and have a limitless future.

Although Lord Yun was also an official, his status was far inferior to that of the Song family. Zhao Shuwan was not particularly beautiful, yet she was fortunate enough to be engaged to Song Yi'an, which many people envied.

As a result, Song Yi'an lost his sight while saving Zhao Shuwan, and the Zhao family hurriedly broke off the engagement, which was naturally despicable.

Qin Xiangheng was basking in the praise around him when he saw that everyone's gaze towards them had changed after Zhao Shuwan arrived, and he felt a surge of dissatisfaction.

He had clearly instructed that no one should have any involvement with him before the imperial examination, lest his reputation be ruined and his career be affected.

"Miss Zhao, what brings you here?" Qin Xiangheng asked, feigning surprise.

Zhao Shuwan's expression changed. He actually called her Miss Zhao?

Seeing Qin Xiangheng's cold attitude, Yun Xiwan breathed a sigh of relief, and her smile became even more charming.

"Brother Qin, Miss Zhao must have just happened to be passing by. Please read your poem to us. I'm really looking forward to it."

“Yes, yes, Brother Qin, please read it to us quickly,” Qian Wei said with a smile.

With these praises, Qin Xiangheng no longer cared about Zhao Shuwan and proudly handed over the poem in his hand, which drew another round of praise.

It wasn't until he went to the restroom that Zhao Shuwan pulled him aside.

"Brother Xiang Heng, how could you do this to me?"

Qin Xiangheng chuckled, "Look at you, so petty and narrow-minded, are you jealous?"

"What exactly is your relationship with Yun Xiwan?" Zhao Shuwan asked, displeased. "Didn't you see her deliberately targeting me just now?"

"If you hadn't argued with her, I wouldn't even remember her name. Why bother arguing with her?"

Qin Xiangheng reached out and pinched Zhao Shuwan's buttocks. "Be a good girl and wait for me to feed you tonight."

Zhao Shuwan's expression softened upon hearing this, "You're not allowed to flirt with other women outside."

"it is good."

When Song Ruozhen and the other two finished eating and were about to leave, they saw that Qin Xiangheng's group was getting more and more lively. When Qian Wei saw Yun Chengze, he even pulled him over there.

"Brother Yun, you've come at the perfect time. Why don't you give your opinion on how well Brother Qin's article is written?"

Yun Chengze: "It is indeed better than what he wrote before."

Qin Xiangheng's face turned cold.

"Ruozhen, let's go outside and wait." Yun Nianchu didn't want to deal with Qin Xiangheng.

However, just as they were coming down the stairs, Yun Xiwan accidentally fell. In a moment of panic, she grabbed Yun Nianchu's hand and pulled her down with her.

The waiter carrying a bowl of hot soup bumped right into them!

Seeing that the hot soup was about to fall on Yun Nianchu, Song Ruozhen quickly pulled Yun Nianchu behind her.

"Wow."

The hot soup was instantly poured over Yun Xiwan.

"what--"

A sharp, agonizing scream rang out.

Everyone was drawn to the sound and saw the disheveled Yun Xiwan.

"It's dangerous, it's dangerous."

Yun Nianchu patted her chest in a panic, unable to suppress her lingering fear.

If Ruozhen hadn't pulled her back just in time, the hot soup would have been poured over her!

Looking at Yun Xiwan's face, which was bright red from the burn, could she be disfigured?

As Song Ruozhen watched the black aura on Yun Nianchu's forehead dissipate, she coldly glanced at the screaming Yun Xiwan. This woman had clearly seized the opportunity to deliberately harm Nianchu.

Not to mention that this hot soup could potentially disfigure someone, even if it doesn't, losing face in front of so many people would also sever any possibility between Qin Xiangheng and Nianchu.

one stone two bird!

Yun Chengze rushed down from the second floor, pulled Yun Nianchu around, and looked her over carefully, his voice filled with an urgency he himself was unaware of.

"Nianchu, are you alright?"

Yun Nianchu stared blankly at the anxious man in front of her.

He was always very polite and had never touched her like this before.

After a long pause, he stammered, "I...I'm fine."
