“It is certainly good that Young Master He has taken this step. Although there may be some troubles, I believe you can handle them. My fourth sister has a bit of a temper, but she is deeply loved by my grandparents and has been spoiled a little too much, which is why she is like this. I hope Young Master He will not mind. I look forward to you becoming my fourth sister’s husband.” Shen Yunxi smiled gently as she spoke.

Shen Yunxi's gaze towards He Zheng grew increasingly gentle, as if she were looking at family, which filled He Zheng with immense satisfaction.

He Zheng was full of energy and seemed a little excited. "Miss, please rest assured, I will definitely take full responsibility. I will go back now to prepare for my visit tomorrow."

"Alright, Mr. He, please take care." Shen Yunxi nodded slightly.

After He Zheng walked away, Jiang Weiran looked at Shen Yunxi with surprise and disbelief. "My God, Yunxi, you're really amazing! You solved that big problem of Shen Leyi so easily. I was so worried when I found out she was plotting against you, but now I realize I was worrying for nothing. You didn't need my help at all. Shen Leyi was determined to enter the palace as a concubine, but now that her reputation is ruined, of course she can't enter the palace. I'm worried she might do something desperate and attack you. You have to be careful."

Although Shen Qiuyan and Lin Chen did not speak, their eyes conveyed the same meaning; they were both worried that Shen Yunxi would directly break ties with Shen Leyi.

They were well aware of Shen Yunxi's situation in the Shen family, and they also knew that Shen Yunxi had suffered a lot of grievances over the years, all because of the old Marquis and Madam Shen.

Those two dote on Shen Leyi, and they must have heard about today's events. They certainly won't let it go so easily.

Therefore, Shen Yunxi is indeed in danger.

"Don't worry, I'll be prepared. She's trying to scheme against me, but I'm not one to be easily manipulated. I already knew about today's scheme; I was aware of every move she made, which is why I acted accordingly. However, that Young Master He surprised me. He wasn't someone I arranged; he must have had some ideas all along," Shen Yunxi said.

Jiang Weiran looked puzzled. "What's wrong with Young Master He? I don't think he did anything wrong. Didn't he even go into the water to save someone? Could it be that you don't want anyone to save Shen Leyi and let her die in the water today?"

Shen Yunxi chuckled softly upon hearing this, then shook her head helplessly. "It's not like that. Do you really think I would let Shen Leyi die in front of me? Although I did have that thought in my mind, right now I want her to live well. Sometimes living is more painful than dying. As for that Young Master He, his eyes are full of calculation. When he looks at Shen Leyi, it's like he's looking at a valuable item, as if he's appraising its value. Do you understand what I mean?"

Upon hearing Shen Yunxi's words, Jiang Weiran began to ponder whether this was the case, but unfortunately, she hadn't paid any attention to the other party earlier and therefore hadn't thought of anything.

But Shen Qiuyan understood Shen Yunxi's words, and her doubts were thus resolved.

Speaking of which, it really is just like Shen Yunxi's situation; the answer to what made He Zheng seem off has finally been found.

"Yunxi is really smart; she figured it out at a glance," Jiang Weiran said with praise.

Shen Yunxi smiled bitterly, "Actually, it's not that I'm smart, it's just that I've been schemed against so much that I've gradually come to understand human nature a bit, that's about it. Alright, we've seen the highlight of today's Lotus Viewing Festival, shouldn't we go back?"

Strange, why did Shen Qiuyan not show any expression? Could it be that she did not encounter Jiang Wenye and his concubine traveling together?

Just as Shen Qiuyan was about to answer, her gaze suddenly shifted, her pupils contracted, and her eyes widened.

Shen Yunxi was puzzled. Following Shen Qiuyan's gaze, she finally revealed a faint smile, but it was icy and chilling.

I thought I'd miss it today, but here they are!

A couple walked in this direction from not far away. Both of them had smiles on their faces as they walked and talked, admiring the water lilies. They looked like a newlywed couple who were deeply in love.

Shen Qiuyan stood there, looking lost and dejected at the man and woman walking towards her from not far away. Her face was full of sorrow, and the pain in her eyes could not be concealed.

Seeing Shen Qiuyan in such distress, Shen Yunxi also felt bad.

Lin Chen also saw the person who came. He recognized him as Shen Qiuyan's husband, since they were colleagues.

"Mother, look! Father is here!" Jiang Ying exclaimed.

In fact, Shen Yunxi did not want Jiang Ying to see her father, but it didn't matter if she did. In the eyes of a child, she did not understand the intricacies between adults. She was happy to see her father and could not think of anything deeper.

Shen Qiuyan almost couldn't hold back her tears, but she didn't want to show her vulnerability in front of Jiang Ying. "Yes, it's your father, Ying'er. Let's not disturb him. He has important matters to attend to. As for Yunxi, you can go back first. Don't worry about me."

Shen Yunxi pursed her lips, feeling very upset. She wondered if it was a mistake to deliberately let Shen Qiuyan see the man's true colors.

Otherwise, Jiang Wenye would force Shen Qiuyan to seek help from Zhong Chen, and Shen Qiuyan would suffer even more in the Jiang family, eventually dying in depression. She couldn't bear to see Shen Qiuyan like that.

Jiang Ying's fate was so tragic; she hoped even more that both she and her son would be well.

It's better to end the pain quickly than to suffer for a long time. Only by discovering early that this man is unreliable can you love yourself more and protect Jiang Ying properly.

Although Jiang Weiran was usually slow to react, she understood something after seeing this scene, so she didn't plan to stay. She stepped forward and took Shen Yunxi's hand.

“Yunxi, what Sister Qiuyan said is right. Since brother-in-law is here, let’s go back first. She’ll be fine. You also have a lot of water on you, so take a shower when you get back to avoid catching a cold,” Jiang Weiran quickly said.

Shen Yunxi nodded. Jiang Weiran's excuse was really clumsy, and it was obvious that there was something wrong with it. The water on her body had already dried, after all, the weather was so hot.

But that doesn't matter, as long as the goal is achieved.

"Okay, we'll head back now, sister." Shen Yunxi and Jiang Weiran walked in another direction to avoid Jiang Wenye.

Lin Chen nodded slightly, bidding farewell to Shen Qiuyan, and followed behind Shen Yunxi and Jiang Weiran.

The group stopped only after they could no longer see Shen Qiuyan. Jiang Weiran's face was full of helplessness and indignation.

"Yunxi, when I saw that Young Master Jiang and Sister Qiuyan get married, I thought they were a perfect couple. Who knew they would turn out like this? Men's feelings are unreliable. Otherwise, I would rather not get married. It's really annoying to watch them."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen instinctively looked at Shen Yunxi, his tone slightly urgent.

"Well, not all men are like this, are they?"
