"...This servant is willing to do anything for the young master!"
Shangguan Yanran's mind went blank after hearing what Shi Hua said.
She actually witnessed this.
What will Fu Rongchen do?
Should we push aside the stone flowers, or simply enjoy them?
She suddenly felt a little nervous, and her fingers clenched tightly into her palms.
The maid glanced at her with some concern.
She was about to speak when Shangguan Yanran stopped her. She shook her head and mouthed, "Don't say anything yet, let's see."
Now is the perfect opportunity for her to see Fu Rongchen's true colors.
If he can remain unmoved by a beautiful woman throwing herself at him, then she hasn't misjudged him. Conversely, Fu Rongchen is not a good match for her. It's a good thing that she's seen through his true colors as soon as possible.
The maidservant was truly impressed by her composure when she saw that she hadn't rushed out.
She nodded slightly without saying a word.
Just as Shangguan Yanran was waiting anxiously, a loud bang suddenly came from outside.
It sounded like something heavy had hit a chair.
As she was wondering, she heard Fu Rongchen's voice, which sounded like it was covered in frost, say, "Originally, I was going to let you leave peacefully because you had served my mother for many years, but it seems that you don't appreciate it. So be it."
Shi Hua, who had fallen to the ground, suddenly came to her senses, but it was too late. Fu Rongchen then said, "Guards, lock her in the cell."
Soon, two constables came in and dragged the pebbles off the ground.
Shi Hua realized what was happening and struggled violently. "Young master, I was wrong. Please give me a chance to make amends..."
"I've already given you a chance," Fu Rongchen said coldly, glancing indifferently at the constable.
The constable's heart skipped a beat. Without daring to delay any longer, he covered Shi Hua's mouth and dragged her away.
Shi Hua stared wide-eyed in horror, despair growing in her heart.
Once she's locked up in a cell, what chance does she have of surviving? That's a place where prisoners are held, how could the young master be so heartless...?
She struggled frantically, trying to break free from the constables.
But she was no match for two strong men, and all her struggles were in vain.
She was quickly dragged out, and the room fell silent for a moment.
Hiding behind the screen, Shangguan Yanran let out a soft breath, loosened her clenched fingers, and found her palms were wet.
She was so nervous that her palms were sweating.
The maid nudged her and mouthed a question: Do you want to go out?
Shangguan Yanran hesitated for a moment.
If she went out at this moment, she seemed unsure how to face Fu Rongchen.
Just as I was hesitating, a deep voice came, "Aren't you coming out?"
Shangguan Yanran was startled and turned her head to look. She saw Fu Rongchen's tall figure appear in her field of vision. The next moment, he walked up to her.
Shangguan Yanran felt embarrassed, as if she had been caught red-handed. "I...I just went to the restroom and saw a light here, so I came to take a look, but I didn't expect..."
Her lame excuse made the maid next to her want to cover her face in embarrassment.
She was very sensible and quietly withdrew, leaving the two of them alone.
But as soon as she left, Shangguan Yanran became even more nervous, feeling a little awkward facing Fu Rongchen alone.
Fu Rongchen seemed oblivious to her embarrassment, a smile playing on his lips. "Living in the backyard, you still have to come all the way to the front yard to use the outhouse? There's no outhouse in the front yard."
Shangguan Yanran was extremely embarrassed, realizing that her excuse was utterly ridiculous.
