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

Liu Wenxian's face showed surprise.

She had never thought about it in that way.

Sang Luan raised her eyes, her tone light and cheerful, "Luan'er believes that Mother has a compassionate heart. If it was truly you who discovered it yesterday, you certainly wouldn't have stood idly by."

Her eyelids drooped slightly, and her eyelashes trembled gently.

Liu Wenxian's expression immediately softened, and she coughed lightly, "This matter is over, so I won't pursue it any further."

Suddenly, she changed the subject, "But you still need to be taught a lesson, so I'll fine you half a month's salary."

Sang Luan suddenly looked up. Half a moon of silver—wasn't this going to kill her?

No, she has to say something to save her money!

After gathering her emotions, she looked up, ready to launch her battle to protect her money, when she saw Liu Wenxian's expression suddenly become inexplicable.

Liu Wenxian gave her a meaningful look, then waved her hand, and Jin Rui turned and left into the inner room.

"I also heard about the jade pendant last night. It's perfectly normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Zhi'er only married you. You are much better than many people in the capital," Liu Wenxian said calmly.

As soon as she finished speaking, Jin Rui came out from the inner room, carrying a wooden tray with something on it that was flashing.

Sang Luan silently withdrew her gaze, subtly revealing the injuries on her wrists and neck.

Liu Wenxian narrowed her eyes. The woman in front of her had a great figure and fair skin. She was looking down at the moment, and the red mark on her wrist and neck was quite an eyesore.

She abruptly withdrew her gaze and spoke again, "Although Zhi'er hit you, there was a reason for it. Besides, someone stood up for you. Consider these as a gift from Zhi'er. Take them and buy something you like."

After saying that, Jinrui handed the wooden tray to Yubo behind Sangluan.

Sang Luan glanced at it silently, and was immediately drawn to the gold leaf at the top of the wooden plate.

Is this considered compensation for her emotional distress?

A surge of joy welled up inside her; her secret stash of money for running away had gained another sum.

She remained expressionless, glancing at him briefly before silently looking away.

Upon hearing Feng Hengzhi's name, her eyes lit up. She inadvertently touched her wrist with one hand, momentarily stunned, and a hint of hurt flashed in her eyes before she quickly pretended to be nonchalant.

She bowed to Liu Wenxian, slightly raised her eyes, her gaze filled with stubbornness, and said, "Thank you, Mother."

Liu Wenxian tentatively began, "I know you're hopelessly in love with Zhi'er, but ultimately your fate is too shallow. In his heart..."

When his gaze suddenly fell on Sang Luan's beautiful yet slightly bitter smile, he only sighed softly, "But don't take it too seriously. People in memories can only exist in memories. Since you can't hold onto a heart, someone else has to. Do you understand?"

Sang Luan pursed her lips; the person she was so infatuated with was, of course, herself.

Sang Luan's glassy eyes darted around, and then a look of sadness crossed her face. "Luan'er understands."

Liu Wenxian wanted her to quickly win Feng Hengzhi's heart so that she could make him happy.

This was a roundabout way of telling her that if she couldn't catch them, she would have no choice but to send people into the manor.

"It's good that you understand. In any case, you must not repeat the rule-breaking behavior you did yesterday." Liu Wenxian glanced at her casually, her tone indifferent.

Sang Luan nodded slightly. "It is precisely because there are more people who abide by the rules that the world needs some people who occasionally break the rules."

She leaned slightly forward, and then, without waiting for Liu Wenxian's reply, she straightened up and said softly, "I broke my husband's jade pendant, and I'm going to repair it for him today, so Luan'er won't be able to have breakfast with you."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Liu Wenxian abruptly put down the teacup she had just picked up, her anger, which she had finally managed to calm down, was stirred up again.

Pointing in the direction Sang Luan had left, he stared at Jin Rui with disbelief, "Where did she learn all this twisted logic?"

Jin Rui couldn't help but chuckle, "In my opinion, this young mistress still has a faint resemblance to you when you were young."

Liu Wenxian immediately raised her eyes and glared at her, "Nonsense, how am I as unruly as her?"

Jin Rui simply chuckled and shook her head, saying nothing more.

No sooner had Sang Luan left Jing Si Garden than she returned to Fu Rong Garden with Yu Po.

This trip was really worthwhile. Although she was fined half a month's salary, she also received some gold, silver, and jewelry.

She could easily make a fortune by reselling these pieces of jewelry.

Sang Luan's smile never faded the entire way.

She entered the house first, followed closely by Yu Po, who was carrying a wooden tray.

After Yu Po entered the room, she immediately closed the door tightly.

Sang Luan sat down and eagerly rubbed her hands together, her eyes fixed on the wooden tray.

"Gold leaves, silver ingots, silver scraps, I'm rich, I'm rich!"

Sang Luan's smile deepened, holding a handful of gold leaves in one hand and a handful of silver in the other, the beauty mark at the corner of her eye shining brightly.

She silently handed over the things she had prepared the night before, one by one, to Yu Po.

A quarter of an hour later.

Yu Po, cradling her now significantly larger belly, glanced down at her and asked, "Miss, won't anyone notice?"

Sang Luan stuffed the last item in, then clapped her hands. "If anyone asks, just say you've been eating too much lately."

Immediately afterwards, the two swaggered out of Furong Garden.

Everyone who passed by them would glance at Yu Po's abdomen.

"Why does the amber seem so much smoother and more rounded to me?"

"Stop looking and hurry up and leave. Otherwise, the young mistress will be riding on your shoulders again, pulling your hair, and screaming nonstop. What will you do then?"

As soon as she finished speaking, one of the two maids who had been whispering to each other seemed to have suddenly remembered something terrible and quickly quickened her pace.

As luck would have it, these words fell into Sang Luan's ears without missing a single one.

She couldn't help but twitch her lips; the original owner was extremely jealous of Feng Hengzhi.

That person had spoken a few words to Feng Hengzhi in front of the original owner, and the original owner seized the opportunity to go crazy and jump on the person's head, grabbing his hair and cursing all the while.

When the two were only a few feet away from the main gate, Sang Luan suddenly grabbed Yu Po's arm, "Let's go through the side gate."

After a stick of incense.

Below Tianxiang Tower.

Sang Luan put all the silver on herself. "As we agreed before, if you notice anything amiss, come to private room number one to find me."

Yu Po immediately felt much better in her abdomen. She nodded and then turned around and jogged away.

Feeling the heavy weight of silver on her body, Sang Luan couldn't help but smile.

He raised his head slightly, glanced at the sky, and estimated that there was still about an incense stick's time before dawn.

The next moment, Sang Luan lifted the hem of her dress and slowly stepped into Tianxiang Tower.
