Rong Qingqing was not surprised when she heard this.
The things the original owner had done were deliberately publicized by the Chen family, so that probably everyone in the capital knew about them.
Shangguan Yanran must have heard the negative rumors about her.
She smiled slightly and said, "It's nothing really. Everyone goes through a few hardships and trials in their life. Just take it easy."
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Yanran felt genuine admiration.
Rong Qingqing was about the same age as her, but she had experienced so much. First, she was seen entangled with a man in Chunyan Tower, which ruined her reputation. Then, the Third Prince broke off her engagement. Finally, she was married into the Weiyuan Marquis's family to bring good luck, but on the day of the wedding, the old Marquis of Weiyuan passed away, and she immediately became a widow.
Many people outside are calling her a jinx, saying the most nasty things.
She's only been back for a few days, and I've already heard a lot about her.
Despite experiencing so many setbacks, Rong Qingqing was not only not defeated, but also maintained such a good mindset, which is truly rare.
Keep in mind that she is still so young, but in the eyes of the world, she is already a widow, and may never be able to shake off this title for the rest of her life.
How many people can be as carefree as her?
Shangguan Yanran asked herself, if the same thing happened to her, she definitely couldn't have done the same.
"What you said makes perfect sense," Shangguan Yanran sincerely praised.
Rong Qingqing felt ashamed when she saw the undisguised admiration and respect in her eyes.
She's not actually as good as she thinks.
The main issue is that those past events all happened to the original owner of the body. Although she now occupies the original owner's identity, she hasn't personally experienced those events. Therefore, while she sympathizes with the original owner and feels angry about her experiences, she can't truly understand the original owner's feelings.
That's why she could act so calmly and nonchalantly.
But putting myself in her shoes, if she were the original owner of this body, having her reputation ruined by being framed, having her engagement broken off by the person she liked, and then being forced by her closest relatives to marry into the Marquis of Weiyuan's household to bring good luck, she might not have been able to bear it.
"Miss Shangguan, why don't you look at the design?" She coughed lightly, changing the subject.
"Okay." Shangguan Yanran refocused her attention on the design.
At this moment, Manager Liu served the two of them the tea he had prepared.
When he saw the clothing patterns displayed in the book that Shangguan Yanran had opened, his eyes lit up instantly.
"Young Miss, did you draw all of these pictures?"
"Hmm." Rong Qingqing nodded. "But I don't know if it's good or not. I'll have to ask Miss Shangguan for her opinion first."
"I wouldn't dare accept that," Shangguan Yanran said quickly upon hearing this. "However, your designs are indeed very beautiful and novel. The finished clothes will surely be stunning. I'm going to have a few clothes made anyway, and I really like this one and this one. Could you make them for me first?"
Shopkeeper Liu was overjoyed and quickly looked at Rong Qingqing. Seeing that she nodded, he hurriedly said, "Of course. Miss Shangguan is also one of our regular customers, so we will definitely give you priority."
"That's good." Shangguan Yanran tugged at her dress, stuck out her tongue, and said playfully, "I came back from traveling for a while, and my dresses are all worn out. There's going to be a banquet at home in a few days, and my mother is really disgusted with me. Unfortunately, I don't know how to do needlework. Luckily, your shop has saved me a lot of trouble."
