Fearing that Feng Mo might have some thoughts about her after hearing her words, she quickly turned to look at him and saw that he was deep in thought. It was clear that Rong Qingqing's words had indeed had an impact on him.
Upon seeing this, her heart sank, and she said anxiously, "Your Highness, please don't listen to my sister's nonsense. My mother didn't do anything..."
Rong Qingqing immediately chimed in, "Yes, Third Prince, Aunt Chen didn't do anything wrong, please don't misunderstand."
Rong Yiyi was so angry that her face turned pale, but she managed to suppress it. Her eyelids drooped slightly, her eyelashes trembled, and she said softly with a pitiful look, "Sister, I know that you are still resentful that His Highness broke off the engagement with you and chose me. If this can help you vent your anger, I will not hold it against you. Say whatever you like."
Rong Qingqing raised an eyebrow, surprised that this innocent-looking girl was quite composed. However, her tactic of feigning retreat to advance was truly a masterstroke of Rong Shiqing's strategy.
"Is my sister a tapeworm in my stomach? How can she know so much about me?"
Xie Jingrun glanced at her and noticed that her skirt was trembling violently.
Is he angry, or is he shaking his leg out of excessive excitement?
He paused for a moment, then decided it must be the latter.
This woman looks slender and delicate, but she has a very sharp tongue.
Someone of Rong Yiyi's caliber is no match for her.
"It's the Third Prince's right to choose whomever he wants, and I dare not complain. As for me, I can only blame myself for being born into a den of wolves and tigers, and for being framed by my own family. In the end, I don't even have a place to seek justice, and instead, they even take away the dowry that my mother left me." Rong Qingqing's tone was full of helplessness.
Rong Yiyi's lips trembled slightly; she was angry.
How could someone be born into a den of wolves and tigers, and then be framed by their own family?
Isn't this referring to her and her parents?
She forced a smile and said, "Sister, don't say such hurtful things. I know you're still bothered by it..." She glanced at Feng Mo furtively, "The Third Prince chose me and abandoned you. It's only right that you vent your anger."
The smile on Rong Qingqing's face faded.
Is this woman out of her mind?
Did she have "I mind" written on her face? Why are we still going around in circles with this topic?
Was he trying to provoke her with Feng Mo, throw her into a panic, and then stop mentioning the dowry?
That's a brilliant plan.
Unfortunately, she wasn't the original owner of this body. If she were, she would probably be angry upon hearing her say that, and would fight her to the death.
But she had no affection for Feng Mo. Even if he stripped naked in front of her, she would only treat him as a spectator.
Sitting properly wasn't very comfortable, so she subconsciously lifted one leg and crossed it over the other.
"Sister, don't be so self-righteous. Men, out with the old, in with the new. As long as you have money, why worry about not having a man? I'm not as foolish as you, sister, giving up the whole forest for one tree. Since the Third Prince chose you, that's a matter of his judgment, and I won't pester him anymore."
"Be quick and hand over the deeds to the shop and estate my mother gave me. As for the profits you and your mother have made during this time, I'll let it go; consider it your wages for managing them for me. That's quite a bit, isn't it?"
Xie Jingrun and Feng Mo's eyes were both fixed on her legs.
Although women are not treated very harshly these days, and social customs are relatively open, women themselves are still quite reserved, and they follow all the proper etiquette.
They had never seen Rong Qingqing sit so boldly before.
Both of them were somewhat taken aback by her sitting posture, and upon hearing what she said, strange expressions immediately appeared on their faces.
