Qiao Wanwan didn't have time to dodge and got splashed all over her face!

When she smelled the aroma of coffee, she slowly raised her hand to wipe her eyes. Then, she slowly opened her eyes and saw Ruan Tang's wide, apologetic eyes. "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry. I came to bring you coffee, but the path in your herb garden is bad, and I accidentally twisted my ankle, which is why I accidentally spilled coffee on your face. I'm so sorry..."

"It's okay." Qiao Wanwan smiled and turned around.

Ruan Tang was stunned for a moment, and just as she was wondering, she saw Qiao Wanwan turn around again, holding a water ladle in her hand.

Ruan Tang suddenly realized something, and before she could dodge, a large ladle of water was splashed onto her face with a "splash"!

Ruan Tang angrily said, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing!"

"What are you saying about me?" Qiao Wanwan sneered. "Others may believe what you just said, but I don't. You did it on purpose."

"I didn't do it on purpose!" Ruan Tang's makeup was ruined, and she said angrily, "You're the one who really did it on purpose!"

"Of course I did it on purpose," Qiao Wanwan admitted frankly. "I won't suffer in silence. If you're trying to target me, you've picked the wrong person."

Ruan Tang: "......"

"Sister-in-law, you're being far too petty!"

"There's no one else here, so you don't need to pretend anymore, right?" Qiao Wanwan crossed her arms and looked at her. "Since you don't like me so much that you're going to throw something at me, you might as well just talk things out, or I'm worried you'll suffocate."

Ruan Tang closed her eyes briefly, and when she opened them again, her eyes were filled with coldness, completely different from her previous weak and helpless appearance. Her tone was also icy, "Sister-in-law, you're quite capable. I talked to Zhan Yin, and he was clearly on your side. What method did you use to bewitch him like this? Teach me!"

Qiao Wanwan smiled faintly, "You wouldn't be thinking of trying to smear me and Zhan Yin, would you?"

Ruan Tang remained noncommittal. "His favoritism towards you and constant protection of you is definitely not normal, sister-in-law. You need to be careful. Don't even think about putting a green hat on my brother Jingting's head, especially not with Zhan Yin. Brother Jingting would absolutely not tolerate that..."

Qiao Wanwan laughed directly, "Your heart is all messed up, everything looks dirty to you, I don't blame you."

Ruan Tang: "......"

"Whose heart are you talking about!"

"Of course it's you. Zhan Yin and I are completely innocent, yet you accuse us of having an affair and even try to cuckold Jing Ting. What is this if not disgusting?"

Ruan Tang's eyes were filled with hatred. She took two steps forward and stood in front of Qiao Wanwan. She lowered her voice and said, "Qiao Wanwan, you think you're innocent just because you say so? Rumors can kill people. You've been in the entertainment industry for a while, you can't possibly not understand this, can you?"

"It seems you've already figured out how to target me."

Ruan Tang curled her lips, "We'll see. I've remembered everything you owe me, and you'll have to pay it back double!"

After Ruan Tang finished speaking, she turned around and left.

Qiao Wanwan watched her retreating figure, smiled faintly, wiped her face with a tissue, and quickly returned to her room.

"What happened?" Zhan Jingting immediately noticed the coffee stains on her clothes. "How did you get that?"

"I was distracted while drinking coffee and accidentally got some on my clothes."

"How could you be so careless?" Zhan Jingting asked. "Did you get burned?"

"It's warm, not hot."

Ruan Tang didn't have the guts to throw the scalding coffee in her face.

Today's incident was probably just a test of her, and a way to vent my anger.

"Wanwan, I know you're worried about the child, but you must be careful in your daily life. Don't let your mind wander like that next time."

Qiao Wanwan smiled slightly. "Don't worry, it's just a minor accident."

"Go take a shower and change your clothes."

"Um."

......

The weekend passed quickly, and Monday arrived in the blink of an eye. Early in the morning, Zhan Yin took Cheng Zaozao back to school.

When Zheng's mother came to clean the room, she seemed hesitant to speak.

As Qiao Wanwan flipped through the medical book in her hand, she asked, "You've been secretly glancing at me several times. Is there something you want to say?"

Aunt Zheng stepped forward and said, "Young Madam, you and Young Master Yin should keep some distance. I've heard some servants gossiping these past few days, saying that you two are getting too close and have some intimate gestures."

Who's talking about it?

“I fired several servants, but I found out that the news has already spread.”

Qiao Wanwan smiled calmly, "A person with a clear conscience has nothing to fear. Zhan Yin and I are completely innocent, nothing has happened between us, let others say what they want."

“Young Madam, that’s not how it works. If these kinds of words get out, it won’t be good for your and Young Master Yin’s reputation. If Young Master hears them, he will definitely be angry.”

“Jing Ting knows me and Zhan Yin very well; he won’t believe these baseless rumors.”

"Young Madam..."

Before Zheng's mother could say anything more, there was a knock on the door.

She went to open the door and saw Ruan Wanyi walk in with an angry expression.

"Wanwan." Ruan Wanyi walked up to Qiao Wanwan and questioned, "What's going on between you and Zhan Yin? I heard that someone saw you two chatting and laughing and putting your arms around each other in the garden last night. You're married now, don't you know how to avoid suspicion?"

Qiao Wanwan: "......"

“Mom, last night I took Eleven for a walk in the garden and Zhan Yin happened to pass by. He played with Eleven for a while. I can admit that you were chatting and laughing, but I can’t believe you were putting your arm around his shoulder.”

"Someone saw it, and you still have the nerve to deny it?" Ruan Wanyi was even angrier. "Wanwan, there are too many gossips in Wutong Bay. As Jingting's wife, you must be careful with your words and actions. Since you married Jingting, you should learn to be a good wife of the Zhan family!"

Qiao Wanwan put down her book. "Mom, I've already explained. Zhan Yin and I didn't put our arms around each other. You don't believe me, do you?"

"That's true. I'm just a disobedient daughter-in-law, so naturally I can't compare to your own niece."

Ruan Wanyi frowned. "Why are you bringing Tangtang into this? She's always been protecting you, saying there's no way anything could happen between you and Zhan Yin!"

Qiao Wanwan nodded. "It seems I underestimated her methods."

"You..." Ruan Wanyi was furious. "You wouldn't be saying that Tangtang spread this, would you? What kind of dark thoughts are these, Wanwan? It's one thing for you to be a little spoiled usually, but now you dare to target Tangtang. I absolutely cannot tolerate this. Let's go, let's go find Jingting to settle this!"

Qiao Wanwan smiled and said, "Mom, are you sure you want to go find Jingting? Jingting is my husband, he will definitely side with me."

“Jingting loves you, but he’s not brainless. He’ll definitely side with what’s right, not his own!” Ruan Wanyi said confidently. “Let’s go!”

Qiao Wanwan helplessly shrugged, "Fine..."

"Young Madam!" Zheng Ma hurriedly came up, grabbed Qiao Wanwan's hand, and said in a low voice, "This matter is not good for you, you can't go!"

Qiao Wanwan smiled and patted the back of her hand. "Don't worry, I have my own plans."
