"Ahem~"

Wu Xuan was pulled out of the water. She pressed her chest with one hand and started coughing violently.

"Sister Wuxuan, how are you?" Seeing her being rescued by the guards nearby, the young ladies quickly gathered around.

Wu Xuan took a deep breath, finally catching her breath. Turning back, she glared at Feng Beijian and said through gritted teeth, "Feng Beijian, we are distant relatives after all. Seeing me being bullied, you didn't help me, but you actually helped that bitch. Are you trying to piss me off to death?"

"Angry?" Feng Bei saw her indifferent face and glanced at her coldly. "Wu Xuan, you are considered a famous talented woman in our dynasty. Why didn't you use your brain to think about such a stupid behavior? If this prince doesn't speak up today, you may not see the sun tomorrow."

The emperor had just shown his power in the hall when this guy started to make things difficult for An Tingyu. How many lives did she think she had?

Or was she so stupid that she thought the emperor just forgot for a moment and blurted it out?

Don't be too naive. With the emperor's foxy nature, he did it on purpose. The emperor's meaning is also very clear. An Tingyu is not someone who can be offended at will.

"you……"

Wu Xuan gritted his teeth and said, "An Tingyu, this princess will remember this. One day, this princess will definitely peel off your skin, humph!"

After leaving behind some harsh words, Wu Xuan left with her men.

"Are you okay?" Feng Beijian asked calmly. But An Tingyu didn't even look at him, nor did she answer, and just left.

Seeing this, Feng Beijian frowned slightly and followed him, "After all, it was me who saved you, right? Don't you even know how to say thank you?"

An Tingyu turned around, her sharp eyes staring coldly, a cold light flashing in her eyes, "Do you think I should say thank you to you? When you teamed up to frame me, when I was insulted and on the verge of death, why didn't you come to save my life? Now you want me to say thank you after just a few words, are you too naive, or too stupid? And do I need you to say more? Without you, I might have killed them more easily, but you saved their lives as soon as you opened your mouth!"

Feng Beijian's eyes flashed deep as he heard the sharp accusation, staring straight at her.

He has always been high and mighty, and even if he is wrong, he is right. No one has ever dared to blame him, and he has always taken everything for granted. But today, he was blamed for the first time.

After a long pause, Feng Beijian finally said, "Before, you wouldn't even step on an ant, but now you're willing to kill someone just because of a few words. You've really changed."

An Tingyu glanced at him coldly, the corners of her lips curled into a smile, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in her dark eyes. "Please don't look at me with such strange eyes. Everyone will encounter adversity. Perhaps more people will never get up again after being tripped. I was just pushed off the cliff by you, and then I climbed up after experiencing hellish pain."

"But what have I done wrong? I didn't ask for marriage, and my beauty and ugliness were given by my parents. I laid hands on a powerless woman. Haha, now you say I've changed. How ridiculous."

"You..." Feng Beijian opened his mouth and looked at those cold eyes. He suddenly felt a little guilty. In fact, he had never thought of killing An Tingyu. After all, he had no grudges against An Tingyu. He just wanted to cancel the engagement. He guessed about the murder of An Tingyu only afterwards.

At that time, news came from the Prime Minister's Mansion that An Tingyu Liu had committed suicide. He originally believed it, but then he thought that An Tingyu was an idiot. How could she understand the importance of reputation? The incident in Yihongyuan was at most a fright, not to mention that Liu's suicide was such a planned thing. So after thinking it over, he could only think of one result, and that was An Rongxin.

However, despite this, Feng Beijian could not find a word to refute.

An Rongxin confessed her love to him at the beginning. If he hadn't wanted to use An Rongxin to break off the engagement, An Tingyu wouldn't have ended up in that situation. So in the final analysis, he owed An Tingyu.

"sorry!"

The word "I'm sorry" not only stunned An Tingyu, but even Feng Beijian, who said it, was stunned.

Did these words come out of his mouth?

He was actually apologizing to An Tingyu?

In the past, he would never have said this, but for some reason today, looking at the still ugly An Tingyu in front of him, he suddenly felt that his heart might be uglier than her face.

He clearly had more ways to cancel the engagement, but he ruined a woman who had no power to fight back.

What right does he have to comment on her current changes and her current coldness?

"Let me make it clear first, I only apologize for the Yihong Courtyard incident. As for the rest, I know nothing about it." Having already spoken the apology, Feng Beijian found it easier to face his mistakes. However, what followed was a matter between them sisters, and he did not want to get involved.

"You know it, but you just don't want to get involved in this mess." An Tingyu said what he was thinking.

"If you had been this smart before, this prince might not have thought of breaking off the engagement..." Feng Beijian wanted to praise her for her intelligence, but the conversation turned to breaking off the engagement. He paused and changed the subject, "An Tingyu, do the Emperor and the Empress Dowager have something in your possession? Why do they dote on you so much?"

As soon as Mr. An said that she was old enough, the empress dowager arranged a marriage for An Tingyu. Even the emperor, who was always cold and heartless to women, respectfully called her "Sister An". He really couldn't think of what An Tingyu had done to deserve this, not to mention that this attitude had started a long time ago. At that time, An Tingyu was just a cowardly and incompetent fool. Why did the empress dowager and the emperor look at such a woman differently?
