The cousin is beautiful but ruthless.

The atmosphere between the two was tense, and Xia stepped forward and pulled Liang Fangrong aside.

“Madam, the young lady is injured and not feeling well. Let her calm down by herself for a while.”

Liang Fangrong clenched one hand into a fist, but ultimately walked out without saying a word.

Shen Hanyu was left alone in the room when Miaocui walked in from outside, "Miss..."

There was no sadness in Shen Hanyu's eyes. She asked calmly, "How did things go?"

Miao Cui nodded: "The maidservants around the Lady of Guangning already know."

Seeing that the matter was resolved, Shen Hanyu breathed a sigh of relief.

A man walked in from outside the door; it was Pei Du.

Shen Hanyu was somewhat surprised that Pei Du would come; she had thought it would be Wei Ming who would come.

Seemingly sensing Shen Hanyu's thoughts, Pei Du spoke first: "Wei Ming and the others will arrive later."

Miao Cui tactfully gave them some space and kept an eye on the outside. This young master Pei seemed to have a close relationship with her young lady.

Shen Hanyu covered her legs. "What brings Young Master Pei here?"

Pei Du didn't hide anything and spoke frankly: "You hate Lady Guangning."

He spoke with certainty, and he caught the fleeting resentment in Shen Hanyu's eyes.

Shen Hanyu hadn't expected Pei Du to ask about this matter, and she quietly clenched her hands under the covers.

Seeing that Shen Hanyu pursed her lips and was unwilling to say more, Pei Du sighed.

"Fine, I won't press the matter. I only came here to tell Miss Shen that no matter what the reason, you shouldn't let your anger lead you astray."

Pei Du was afraid that she would become attached to appearances and thus do something that would result in heavy losses for both sides.

He wouldn't have tried to persuade anyone else, but this person happened to be Shen Hanyu.

Shen Hanyu looked up, her eyes filled with confusion. She thought that if Pei Du found out about this, he would break all the promises he had made to her. But instead, he only gave her a light warning.

"The message has been delivered. Miss Shen, please think carefully before you act."

After finishing his sentence, Pei Du turned and left. He had stayed long enough; he couldn't just keep watching from there forever.

After Pei Du left for a while, Yang Yueying and Wei Ming came in together.

As soon as Wei Ming saw her, he looked her up and down from head to toe.

"Are you really alright?" Wei Ming asked uncertainly.

Shen Hanyu smiled and said, "It's really nothing."

Yang Yueying sat to one side and patted Shen Hanyu's hand.

“Child, you have suffered because of this. Don’t worry, I will definitely get justice for you. Today, the polo match is my venue. She caused trouble here because she wants to go against the Weiyuan General’s Mansion. I will not let the Guangning Earl’s small compensation shut me up.”

Shen Hanyu felt a lump in her throat. She had just had a falling out with Liang Fangrong over this matter. Compared to Liang Fangrong, Yang Yueying's words sounded more like something a normal person would say.

If Liang Fangrong had said something about how she had suffered before criticizing her, Shen Hanyu wouldn't have harbored such resentment.

Seeing that Shen Hanyu looked like she was about to cry, Yang Yueying felt a little sorry for her.

She was delighted to see this friend of her daughter at first sight, not to mention that he had saved Wei Ming's life.

Now that someone has suffered in her territory, Yang Yueying naturally wants to confront Xiao Ran and get to the bottom of things.

"Thank you ma'am."

Shen Hanyu wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. She was truly glad that she had made the right decision at the princess's residence.

Liang Fangrong watched from outside the door, feeling a mix of emotions. Shen Hanyu was now closer to Yang Yueying than to her.

Seeing that Xia didn't dare to say anything, it was best to remain silent at this time, as saying more would only make things worse.

“I was clearly doing this for her own good…” Liang Fangrong murmured to herself.

Liang Ruochu walked over and saw Liang Fangrong.

"Aunt, what's wrong?"

When Liang Fangrong saw that it was Liang Ruochu, she composed herself.

"It's nothing, it's just that your cousin got hurt, and I feel bad about it."

Seeing that Liang Fangrong was just standing outside and not going in, Liang Ruochu knew that something must have happened, so she went up to Liang Fangrong.

“Aunt, don’t be sad. My cousin is a lucky person. She needs to rest now. Let me take you to sit over there. This is your first time leaving Chang’an since you returned. There must be many differences here.”

Hearing Liang Ruochu's words, Liang Fangrong's worry lessened somewhat.

"If only your cousin were as sensible as you," she couldn't help but sigh.

Liang Ruochu's lips curled up slightly: "My aunt often taught me to be cautious in my actions and to be clear about my status. I keep that in mind and dare not overstep my bounds."

Liang Fangrong sighed, feeling even more satisfied with Liang Ruochu.

Look at Liang Ruochu, she doesn't compete, doesn't fight, and doesn't seek the limelight, so no misfortune comes her way.

Lin Rushuang was just about to visit Shen Hanyu when she turned around and saw Liang Ruochu and Liang Fangrong walking together intimately like mother and daughter, which made her frown.

"What's going on?"

Lin Rushuang looked puzzled. Her own daughter was still lying inside, so how could her mother have run off with someone else?

And it was with Liang Ruochu, whom she hated the most.

Lin Rushuang scoffed, intending to go in and talk to Shen Hanyu, but upon entering and seeing Yang Yueying there, she swallowed her words, deciding to speak when no one else was around.

Yang Yueying didn't stay there long; she still needed to negotiate with Xiao Ran, which would require some talking.

After Yang Yueying left, leaving only Wei Ming, Lin Rushuang said, "I just saw your mother and Liang Ruochu leaving together. What happened? Did you two have a fight?"

She asked directly, and Shen Hanyu was used to Lin Rushuang's personality, but because of those things in her past life, Lin Rushuang's attitude had always been indifferent.

Shen Hanyu laughed instead of getting angry when she heard Lin Rushuang say that Liang Fangrong and Liang Ruochu had left together.

“My mother likes obedient children, and Liang Ruochu is an obedient child.”

What is Liang Ruochu trying to do? If she can't get to Liang Ruochu, is she going to try to get to Liang Fangrong instead? Or was this just an accidental encounter?

Regardless, Shen Hanyu really didn't want to deal with these two.

Hearing Shen Hanyu's words, Lin Rushuang clicked her tongue lightly: "You can still laugh even though your mother has run away with someone else. You're really a strange person."

Wei Ming placed the sliced ​​apple in front of Shen Hanyu, her expression revealing her curiosity.

“But you’re still injured. No matter what, I should be here with you. Whenever I’m sick, my parents are always by my side.”

Shen Hanyu looked at this girl who had grown up in a privileged environment.

“Miss Wei, sometimes the differences between people are huge, so you can’t force it.”

She said it very casually, that once she decided to let go, she would never look back.

Wei Ming keenly sensed something was amiss, and she picked up a piece of apple and offered it to Shen Hanyu's lips.

"Eat something sweet to balance out the bitterness and you won't feel the bitterness anymore."

Lin Rushuang rubbed her arms, exclaimed that she couldn't stand it anymore, and ran out.

Neither of them mentioned Pei Du's visit. Pei Du had most likely avoided seeing her by avoiding these people, which put her at ease.

Lin Lihua left with Liang Sihan, leaving Liang Ruoxue alone.

Just now, Liang Ruoxue saw Liang Ruoyan carrying a zither and heading somewhere. She got up and was about to go see what she was going to do when someone called her back.

"Second Miss Liang".

Liang Ruoxue saw Chen Rui walking towards her.
