In the flower hall, Shangguan Yanran was leaning against the window, looking at the flowers and trees outside.
"Yanran," Rong Qingqing called softly as she walked to the door.
Shangguan Yanran turned around and looked her over with concern. "Are you alright?"
Rong Qingqing walked in with a smile, "I'm perfectly fine."
Shangguan Yanran took her hand and, seeing the injury on her forehead, said with heartache, "I've heard about it. But why did you have to run into that unruly princess?"
Rong Qingqing patted her hand, "It's just a minor injury, I'm sorry to have worried you. Sit down, don't stand."
Shangguan Yanran sat down, frowning, and said, "You shouldn't have any dealings with that Seventh Princess, so why is she suddenly targeting you this time?"
Rong Qingqing said with some complicated feelings, "Isn't it all because of our Marquis?"
Shangguan Yanran's heart stirred slightly. "You mean, the Seventh Princess is in love with Marquis Xie?"
"It should be. She must have heard some rumors somewhere, which is why she came to me specifically." Rong Qingqing didn't hide anything from her and told her what she was thinking.
Shangguan Yanran frowned. "I've heard before that the Seventh Princess is obsessed with Marquis Xie, but she's a princess who lives deep in the palace and doesn't go out much. How did she suddenly hear about this?"
Rong Qingqing shrugged. "Someone is plotting against me behind my back."
"Who?" Shangguan Yanran asked.
“I don’t have any evidence yet,” Rong Qingqing sighed.
Seeing that she already knew what was going on, Shangguan Yanran didn't ask any more questions. She took a sip of tea and suddenly asked with a smile, "They say there's no smoke without fire. You and Lord Xie..." She stopped there.
Rong Qingqing was just taking a sip of tea when she heard this and couldn't help but choke, "Cough cough cough..."
Shangguan Yanran was startled and quickly got up to pat her back.
Once she had calmed down, he looked at her meaningfully and said, "You didn't have to react so strongly, did you?"
"I was so horrified, okay? How could you have such thoughts?" Rong Qingqing said somewhat irritably.
Shangguan Yanran said with a smile, "Lord Xie is young and promising, and most importantly, he is also good-looking. As for you, you happen to be a few years younger than him, with a beautiful and delicate appearance, and a very likable personality. I think the two of you are quite a good match."
"Have you been reading too many storybooks?" Rong Qingqing said, not daring to compliment him. She rested her hand on the table and propped her chin up, saying, "Xie Jingrun is handsome, but at the same time, he's also ruthless and unpredictable. I can't handle a man like that."
"Don't speak too confidently," Shangguan Yanran said dismissively. "Now that you two are living under the same roof, you see each other all the time, and you're both young and impulsive. Maybe one day, dry wood will meet a raging fire..."
She became more and more excited as she talked.
Rong Qingqing rolled her eyes. "It's such a waste that you don't go and write storybooks."
"I'm writing it right now," Shangguan Yanran said with a smile. "Perfect timing, you two have given me inspiration. I'm planning to write a love story with you two as the main characters."
Rong Qingqing rubbed her forehead, "Why did you have to write about me and Xie Jingrun?"
"Because I think you two are a perfect match, and besides, given your identities, wouldn't it be exciting if you were together? My storybooks would definitely sell like hotcakes," Shangguan Yanran said excitedly.
Rong Qingqing, hearing her earnestness, kindly reminded her, "I don't know if it will sell well, but if Xie Jingrun comes after you, that will be really exciting. Sister, take my advice, for the sake of your life, don't do anything rash and write about Xie Jingrun."
