The woman blushed, not expecting Fang Ruotang to fall for it.

Isn't it said that the Imperial Advisor is naive and easily fooled?

This guy doesn't look like someone who's easily fooled!

In other situations, Fang Ruotang would be quite easy to fool, but on this matter, she was very resolute.

Because she had been in poor health since childhood, her family always instilled in her the idea that she should take care of herself first. After all, in her family's eyes, her own well-being meant that she wouldn't cause any trouble.

This instilled in her values ​​from a young age that she should prioritize herself above all else, and that everything else should come after her, such as the matter of Shen Lixia.

She has better options, and it's not wrong for her to want to fly higher.

Fang Ruotang retorted, and when she saw her shrink back, she tried to hide herself, so she didn't hold on tightly, since Shen Lixia's matter was more important now.

Fang Ruotang lost interest in watching the women test their spirit stones. As she walked toward the Prime Minister's residence, she inquired about Shen Lixia's situation from Xiao Jingzi.

How is her relationship with her fiancé? Is it good?

[It's great. We grew up together, childhood sweethearts who know each other inside and out.]

【ah? 】

Fang Ruotang's face immediately turned ugly. She thought of the story she had seen about Chi Jingyun and Lu Jinwei last time. At that time, she was so angry that she felt suffocated because of Yu Huan's interference.

Now, another pair of childhood sweethearts have chosen to separate because of her. Fang Ruotang felt instantly uncomfortable and couldn't accept such a girl as her fifth sister-in-law.

It's not that she hates Shen Lixia for abandoning her childhood sweetheart and fiancé for her future, but she doesn't want her and Fifth Brother to become the destroyers in this relationship.
