My best friends both transmigrated into a book and married powerful officials; she left me and I lef

Qi Ran looked ahead with one eye and glanced at Cang Hei to the side with the other.

When Cang Hei looked over in confusion, he silently looked away.

A moment of silence fell over the atmosphere.

Qi Ran coughed heavily several times.

Cang Hei looked worried. "Young Master, are you alright?"

Qi Ran cried out and flung away the dark hand.

The next moment, he stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Cang Hei. "Didn't you notice anything different about me?"

Cang Hei thought for a moment, then exclaimed "Ah!" as if he had just realized something. "Young Master, you were laughing so happily just now, was something making you happy?"

Qi Ran's lips curled up instantly. "Was my expression that obvious?"

Cang Hei pursed his lips, shook his head, and muttered under his breath, "Is it really that obvious?"

Qi Ran, who was completely absorbed in his own world, was completely unaware.

He clenched his fists and hugged them together. "Do you think she suddenly touched my hand? Does that mean she has feelings for me?"

Cang Hei instantly understood what was wrong with the person in front of him.

"You two are husband and wife, it would be wrong of you not to have those kinds of feelings, right?"

Qi Ran glared at him, "You don't understand!"

"By the way, don't let the Crown Princess know what happened just now," Qi Ran suddenly said.

Cang Hei: "Why? If the Crown Princess knew, she would be overjoyed."

"As her husband, it's just a small favor for me to deal with some scoundrels. If I were to tell others about it, wouldn't that seem like I'm trying to take credit?"

Meanwhile, inside a side hall of Yunyan Pavilion.

"The Crown Princess is already in poor health, so she should rest more these days." Mu Xiang silently handed Meng You Ning a handkerchief.

Meng Youning wiped herself off casually. "I haven't had enough rest, but it's okay. I can handle this level of intensity."

Mu Xiang gave a soft "hmm" and reached out to support Meng Youning's arm.

Her eyes darted away for a few seconds.

"Your Highness, I overheard some things outside just now, and I don't know if I should say them."

Meng Youning chuckled softly, "Just say what you think."

Mu Xiang paused for a moment before speaking slowly, "I heard that your father has arrived, and the young master just went to deal with this matter."

She glanced at Meng Youning's expression and said, "As soon as the young master heard that it was your father, he immediately chased him away and even had him beaten up."

Meng Youning slowly raised her eyes and chuckled.

Given Qi Ran's personality, it's not surprising that he would do something like this.

She remembered that before giving the original owner to Qi Ran, the original owner's parents treated her very well.

Has Qi Ran's disgust for her really reached this point?

This also proves that her and Luan'er's plan was correct.

Therefore, she must not let Qi Ran know about her relationship with Luan'er.

Otherwise, Luan'er might be in danger.

Meng Youning covered her face with a handkerchief, coughed lightly, and when she looked up again, she saw two more figures around the corner.

Walking in front was Qi Ran.

Meng Youning, with a cold face, bowed slightly to Qi Ran from a distance and nodded slightly.

Immediately, he turned and walked off in another direction without looking back.

The two who remained in place stared at each other.

"What's wrong with her?" Qi Ran pointed to Meng Youning's back.

Cang Hei quickly tried to explain, "The Crown Princess must be shy."

Qi Ran was a little puzzled, "Shy?"

“Yes.” Cang Hei nodded. “Isn’t it said that women get shy when they see someone they like?”

Qi Ran remained silent, his gaze fixed on the rapidly moving figure ahead.

Why did he feel that Meng Youning's behavior didn't quite match what Cang Hei had described?

He collected his thoughts and quickly stepped forward. "You don't need to be shy."

Upon hearing this, Meng Youning was momentarily stunned.

Cang Hei, standing next to Qi Ran, also looked miserable. He never expected that the young master would turn around and ask such a question!

Meng Youning lowered her eyes slightly and silently took a step back.

There was a hint of aloofness in his eyes and brows.

"Your Highness is too kind."

Cold and indifferent, her voice devoid of any warmth.

She was completely different from the person she was at Yunyan Pavilion just now.

Qi Ran frowned, reached out and took Meng Youning's hand, his lips slightly parted.

In an instant, Meng Youning subtly withdrew her hand. "Your Highness, please rest assured. If Youning is alright, she will certainly not appear before you."

"If there's nothing else, You Ning will take her leave now."

After saying that, he turned and left without looking back.

Qi Ran could clearly sense the alienation emanating from within.

His brow furrowed slightly, and a strange emotion began to spread through his heart.

With his hands on his hips, Qi Ran's eyes were slightly narrowed, and his heart was heaving.

Then he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, slowly raised his eyes, and glanced at Cang Hei beside him.

At that moment, Cang Hei silently swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his eyelids twitching wildly.

He silently took a step back, not daring to meet Qi Ran's terrifying eyes at all, "Your...Your Highness..."

Qi Ran tilted his head and chuckled softly.

Cang Hei raised his foot, ready to run at any moment.

That wasn't the prince's laughter; that was clearly the sound of the bell tolling as he was being beaten.

Cang Hei lifted his foot and ran.

Qi Ran quickly scanned his surroundings but didn't see anything of interest.

The next instant, he swung his boots off and smashed them down on the dark back.

"Ow!"

Meanwhile, in the front garden of the Crown Prince's residence.

Konoha followed Meng Youning cautiously.

She wasn't as agile as Mu Xiang, nor had she been by the Crown Princess's side for as long.

Since that incident, Konoha's feelings towards Meng Youning have become increasingly complicated every day.

It was clear that the Crown Princess was about to leave the manor with Mu Xiang again.

Konoha then stood still on his own.

In the past, whenever the Crown Princess left the manor, she would specifically instruct that only Mu Xiang was allowed to go with her.

Unexpectedly, just as they were about to leave the mansion, Meng Youning suddenly turned around and said, "You're coming with me today."

Konoha was flattered and quickly jogged after him.

An hour later.

Autumn makeup askew.

With ebony as the base color, several large golden characters stand prominently on it.

The characters on the plaque look elegant and vigorous, and if you look closely, you can vaguely see a few small characters in the lower right corner.

At this moment, Qiu Zhuangxie was surrounded by people.

"I heard that the plaque on their house was personally inscribed by the Princess. Is that true?"

"It's definitely fake. Their family used the Princess's name last time. I don't think this shop will stay open for long. They've been causing trouble for the Princess one after another."

“Old Wang’s daughter next door works in the palace. Once, the princess was happy and gave her subordinates some gifts, including calligraphy and paintings that she had personally made. I was lucky enough to see them, and I thought the calligraphy looked very similar.”

There were all sorts of voices in the crowd.

Watching this scene from not far away, Meng Youning couldn't help but smile slightly.

Luan'er said she would get it done in three days, and it's already done in less than three days.

Luan'er is indeed fast.

Konoha, standing to the side, asked curiously, "Do you want to buy rouge? I'll go buy it for you."

Meng Youning's eyes darkened slightly as she reached out and grabbed Konoha, who was leaning forward. "Let's go in through the side door."
