On the desk, even the used rice paper was still neatly stacked, without even the edges or corners curling up.
Everything in the study was arranged in an orderly manner according to Shen Jingwen's wishes, except for one exception that was not restricted.
[Host, have you thought about how to explain it? ]
Seeing that the host had not yet recovered from the previous plot, Xiao Qi finally realized that something was wrong, and his tone was no longer as cheerful as before.
Three days ago.
Ning Wan rarely felt like going out for shopping, but she didn't expect that just because she didn't check the almanac before going out, she turned around and met an acquaintance she didn't want to meet.
After just one glance, she turned around as quickly as possible, pulled Chunqin who followed her out, and prepared to leave this dangerous place.
How could Zhou Wenhuai, who was waiting for Ning Wan at the street corner, give her this opportunity? He quickly chased after her, intending to catch the person he was thinking about.
However, Ning Wan's body was extremely flexible, and Chunqin, who followed her, was not lagging behind. Just when Zhou Wenhuai was about to catch up, he was left behind by the two of them.
After this happened over and over again, Zhou Wenhuai lost his patience and shouted at Ning Wan, who was still moving, "Ning Wan!"
The words were spoken with some momentum and revealed a bit of anger. Before Ning Wan could pretend to be deaf and drag Chunqin to run a few more steps, she was stopped by Zhou Wenhuai's servant.
Ning Wan frowned slightly, looked at the servants blocking her way, and warned, "Get out of the way!"
How could the servant dare to give in? If they offended their own young master, they would be skinned alive.
Thinking of this, the servants all shook their heads and said, "Miss Ning, please don't embarrass us servants."
Ning Wan: “…”
What era is it now? Why are you still using moral blackmail?
Zhou Wenhuai, who was behind him, also caught up at this time. Looking at Ning Wan, who was stopped and looked unhappy, he felt a little relieved.
Seeing Ning Wan about to leave again, Zhou Wenhuai no longer hesitated and stood in front of the two of them. Looking at Ning Wan, who seemed both unfamiliar and familiar, his tone seemed to be filled with helplessness:
"How long are you going to be angry with me?"
Zhou Wenhuai ignored the various pedestrians on the street. Seeing that Ning Wan was about to leave him again, his voice couldn't help but rise for a moment.
Suddenly, with the two of them as the center of the circle, everyone nearby looked over, their eyes fell on them, and looked them up and down.
It was as if they were curious about who was quarreling, and they didn't realize that they were quarreling behind closed doors and now they were quarreling on the street.
Inevitably, some people in the crowd wanted to join in the fun, so they naturally stopped and looked like they were ready to watch the show.
And when there are people watching the show, there will naturally be questions and explanations.
"Isn't this Mr. Shen's fiancée?"
"It is indeed her. Mr. Shen is truly blessed to be engaged to Miss Ning."
"Eh? So this person is..."
"Don't talk nonsense. This is the young master of the Zhou family. He used to be Miss Ning's childhood sweetheart. He later tricked her into going up the mountain and left alone, causing Miss Ning to fall off the cliff while descending the mountain.
If it weren't for Mr. Shen passing by and saving Miss Ning's life, Miss Ning would have died long ago."
"ah???"
"Are you kidding me?"
"Killing your childhood sweetheart? Please don't insult the word. How can such a beautiful word as childhood sweetheart be used to describe a murderer?"
"No, how dare he appear before Miss Ning? If I were him, I would have hanged myself with a hemp rope and died to atone for my sins."
The gossip made Zhou Wenhuai blush for no reason.
What happened back then has actually been forgotten long ago.
However, the person who started the conversation was an old acquaintance of Shen Jingwen. Since his fiancée was in trouble, he naturally wanted to help.
Wu Lao Er thought silently in his heart, and spoke again:
"Yes, Miss Ning is a kind person. Considering their past friendship, she is willing not to pursue the matter with the young master of the Zhou family."
"But he ended up being so happy. He still had feelings for Miss Ning, so he thought Miss Ning was also deeply in love with him."
"In fact, Miss Ning had already been engaged to Mr. Shen. They were in love and would be getting married soon. She didn't care about him at all, and yet he had no self-awareness and was trying to get close to her."
Ning Wan was naturally happy to hear these truths, but Zhou Wenhuai couldn't hold it in. He frowned, his face full of gloom:
"Do you really want to marry that poor scholar?"
Before Ning Wan could say anything, the audience could no longer hold back after being instigated.
"Mr. Zhou, don't keep calling me a poor scholar. After all, you are an educated person. Don't you know that different times have different meanings?"
"Miss Ning and Mr. Shen are in love, what's wrong with getting married? Do you want Miss Ning to marry a murderer like you?"
Zhou Wenhuai froze for a moment, and looked in the direction of the voice, wanting to see who was insulting him, but found that the other person was a coward, hiding in the crowd, not giving him any chance to find him.
"What happened back then was a misunderstanding. I wouldn't do it on purpose. I've already explained it."
Zhou Wenhuai didn't care about what he wanted to say to Ning Wan. Looking at the people surrounding him, he thought of asking Ning Wan to prove her innocence.
"explain?"
"It's okay, we believe you didn't mean it..."
In the crowd, the man spoke again, his originally joking tone suddenly became serious, and he continued:
"You just deliberately deceived Miss Ning."
"Even though he knew Miss Ning didn't know the way, he still deliberately found a wild path up the mountain and left her alone on the mountain..."
