Someone handed Wei Ruoyao a glass of water. After swallowing it, she smiled gratefully at the person, who shamelessly replied, "If I become rich and powerful, I will not forget you."

Wei Ruoyao was speechless.

But he couldn't suppress the silly grin on his face as he looked at Fang Ruotang with delight.

No wonder he was the one who made her fall for someone else; he's so magnanimous.

Unlike the Crown Prince, she chased after him for years, but not only did she not get a single copper coin, she didn't even receive a kind word.

Tsk!

Indeed, choice is more important than effort.

There's another vain person here. Do you see that little girl in the pink dress sitting in front? Her name is Tong Xin.

Tong Xin was stunned.

She doesn't discriminate against the poor and favor the rich!

Her fiancé's family had fallen on hard times, and she was prepared to pack up and marry him honestly. After all, they had known each other since childhood and had a bond of friendship that was much better than other arranged marriages.

Moreover, her fiancé will also be taking the exam in September. She has high hopes for his academic abilities, and her father and brother also say that he can achieve a good ranking.

With official rank and the support of her family, including her father and brothers, her fiancé's future career would be promising. She never even considered giving up on him!

But the spirit wouldn't make a mistake. Tong Xin panicked and began to doubt herself. Could it be that she was really unwilling and didn't marry him in the end?

Fortunately, her fiancé didn't come.

In the original timeline, she had already broken off her engagement with her fiancé at this point. Not long after, her fiancé caught the eye of the crown prince, who, after gaining power, deliberately humiliated her and wanted to take her as a concubine.

Tong Xin was full of questions.

What the hell?

She, the legitimate daughter of a high-ranking official of the second rank, became someone's concubine.

[Ugh! Her fiancé is such a jerk! Although Tong Xin broke off the engagement when the other family was losing out, which seemed a bit like kicking someone when they're down, it doesn't warrant this!]

[Actually, Tong Xin didn't break off the engagement because her fiancé's family had fallen on hard times. It was because she discovered that the Third Prince wanted to take her into his household, so he deliberately targeted her fiancé, causing him to lose his academic achievements. She didn't want her fiancé to die because of her, so she pretended to be materialistic and broke off the engagement.]

Fang Ruotang remained silent.

[That third prince was definitely no good. Luckily, he was taken out of the game early this time, otherwise who knows how many more people he would have harmed.]

Yes! Tong Xin's fiancé later humiliated her, but it was all a lie. He said he would take her as a concubine, but secretly he showered her with all the good things. If she ate even a little less food each day, he would be frantic in his study. He actually loved her deeply, but he couldn't bear the thought of the woman he loved not loving him, so he deliberately acted cold and pretended to hate her.

[How childish!]

Fang Ruotang found it hard to accept this kind of love.

She likes to hear nice things.

Furthermore, she doesn't like to use her brain. If someone humiliates her while secretly being nice to her, then sorry, she won't notice at all.

It's alright! After all, even when there was a misunderstanding between them, her fiancé still treated her well.

She didn't explain?

[Yes! She's angry at his disrespect towards her.]

【Ah! I get it. The love story of the mute. If this were in a storybook, the misunderstandings would fill hundreds of thousands of words. I understand, I understand, but I don't like reading those kinds of stories. Don't mention it to me again.】

Fang Ruotang waved her hand, without conveying the message to Fang Shengtang.

After all, she genuinely dislikes watching people without mouths talk about love.

Tong Xin was pushed and shoved by her friends, her face turning red. Although her fiancé's family had fallen on hard times, she and her fiancé had not experienced any major events together.

So she really didn't know that neither she nor her fiancé had mouths.

But personally, she can't deny that if someone wronged her, she would get angry and blame the other person for not trusting her. She probably wouldn't chase after someone who doesn't trust her to explain herself.

Especially in the kind of situation the spirit described, if someone forcibly takes her as a concubine, she might harbor resentment towards them, and there would be no chance of communication.

If you don't like this one, then you'll dislike the other one even more.

The small mirror reveals the emotional journeys of everyone present.

I was originally going to share with Fang Ruotang the story of this couple who ultimately missed their chance.

Tell me first, who is it?

[Princess Shou'an and the heir of the Marquis of Yongyi's household.]

[Hmm? The heir of the Marquis of Yongyi's mansion? Wei Xuan's love-struck older brother?]

Yes, simply put, it's the story of a proud girl and an even prouder boy, a story of two people missing each other. Wei Yao liked Shou An the first time he saw her and took the initiative to greet her. But coincidentally, Shou An also fell for this bright-smiling boy at first sight. However, the boy's smile was directed at another girl. She was jealous and ignored her. The proud boy was frustrated, thinking that she disliked him, and never took the initiative again. Shou An did the same. Because Wei Yao was the Crown Prince's study companion, the two had been in the Imperial Study for several years, but they preferred to secretly admire each other and ultimately miss each other. Neither of them took the first step, and everyone even thought that the two of them were not on good terms.

[They're so crazy! How can you resist liking someone?]

[Neither of them is engaged yet, and they're both waiting for the other to get married first so they can give up on each other. This drags on and on, until in the original timeline, the capital fell, separating them, and that's it!]

【No way! Are they crazy?! If they can't bring themselves to say it, couldn't they at least mention it to their family or friends, or have someone sound them out?】

Fang Ruotang was truly impressed.

Don't talk about love if you don't have a mouth.

Fang Ruotang cursed inwardly.

Both parties were present. Their embarrassed red faces glanced at each other and then quickly looked away, but the smiles in their eyes were obvious even to a blind person.
