Li Youran was slightly surprised. After all, given the wealth and resources of the Imperial Uncle's Mansion, with so many tonics being provided to Feng Yu, it was impossible for him to have such a poor complexion. It was clear that Feng Yu had not been living comfortably these days.
It is clear that he was very concerned about the rumors circulating outside, otherwise Feng Yu, who adhered to the rules, would not have risked such a major transgression by secretly arranging to meet her at the teahouse before the wedding.
"I was being presumptuous."
As Feng Yu spoke, he stood up. The servant standing to the side hurriedly stepped forward to help him up. Feng Yu waved to Xiao Si, signaling him to leave the private room.
"Xiao Hong, I have some things to discuss with Young Master Feng. Please wait outside."
Seeing that Feng Yu had dismissed the servants, Li Youran turned to Xiao Hong and spoke.
"May I ask what brings you here today, Young Master Feng?"
After Li Youran sat down, she first poured Feng Yu a cup of tea, and then poured herself a cup of tea.
The tea had a delicate fragrance, a blend of bitterness and sweetness, and Li Youran couldn't help but take another sip.
After all, she had been drinking sweet desserts for the past few days, so drinking such refreshing tea made Li Youran feel very comfortable.
"This is a newly produced green tea that I brought from home. If Miss Li likes it, I will send some to your residence another day."
Just as Li Youran was enjoying her tea, she suddenly heard Feng Yu's voice. Her face flushed slightly, and she nodded awkwardly before putting down her cup.
Feng Yu noticed all these subtle movements, his heart raced, and his pale face began to regain its color.
How could such a lovely and straightforward woman keep a lover outside as rumored?
Feng Yu couldn't bring himself to attribute the rumors to Li Youran. He believed that the rumors were a mix of truth and falsehood, and that Wu Chuan had a significant element of fabrication about them.
These days, he thought about it for a long time at home, and finally chose to believe Li Youran. After all, in his heart, Li Youran could not be that kind of person.
"I asked the princess to come out today because the wedding is just around the corner. I wonder how the princess's preparations are going, and if there is anything I can help with."
Li Youran paused slightly as she put down her teacup. She had originally thought that Feng Yu had come to inquire about male concubines, but she was surprised that he didn't mention them at all and instead talked about marriage.
"There's not much I can do to help. After all, it's a marriage bestowed by the Emperor. There's not much I need to do personally. Just follow the proper procedures."
After Li Youran finished speaking, she looked at Feng Yu and smiled slightly. Feng Yu nodded and continued speaking.
"These days, there have been many unpleasant things being said among the people. I have already sent people to clean it up, and it will disappear in a few days. You are getting married soon, so keep a good mood and don't let those things bother you."
After thinking for a moment, Feng Yu finally brought up the matter, because he felt that pretending not to know anything would only make Li Youran uneasy.
He said this simply to put your mind at ease and prevent you from overthinking. Most importantly, he wanted Li Yiran to know that he chose to believe in her and would stand up for her.
Li Youran's expression was somewhat unnatural. She nodded blankly without saying a word.
All of this came to Feng Yu's attention, and he couldn't help but smile slightly. It seemed that coming here was the right thing to do.
"Miss Liu, you cannot go in."
"Where did this lackey come from? Get out of my way!"
Just then, a commotion arose outside the door.
Li Youran frowned slightly and got up, opening the door. Just then, Liu Qingqing, who was about to break down the door, bumped right into her and fell straight to the ground.
Li Youran could have reached out and caught her, but why did he? Li Youran took a slight step back, and Liu Qingqing fell solidly to the ground.
"Li Youran, what are you doing!"
Liu Qingqing, who had fallen flat on her face, was helped up by servants and looked at Li Youran with wide eyes.
"That's the question I should be asking you."
As Li Youran spoke, she clasped her hands in front of her chest and subtly glanced at Liu Qingqing.
Liu Qingqing, now a married woman, was adorned with gold and silver jewelry and wore clothes made of the finest fabrics. It was clear that she was doing quite well as the wife of the prime minister's son, who was born out of wedlock.
"Li Youran, stop interrupting me."
As Liu Qingqing spoke, she glanced at Feng Yu sitting to the side, then her lips curled up slightly in a gloating manner before she looked at Li Youran and continued speaking.
"You're about to marry Feng Yu, yet you're still secretly meeting with your lover here. How shameless!"
The reason Liu Qingqing mistakenly believed that Feng Yu was a male concubine was mainly because Feng Yu was pale and looked frail, which was very similar to the male concubines in the outside world.
Upon hearing Liu Qingqing's words, Feng Yu, who was sitting to the side, looked extremely displeased. He coughed lightly, stood up with his hands clasped in front of the table, and bowed to Liu Xing.
"Miss, I am Feng Yu."
Feng Yu originally thought that introducing himself would resolve the misunderstanding, but to his surprise, Liu Qingqing looked at him with a mocking expression.
"With your appearance, you dare to impersonate the Grand Commander Feng Yu? What a joke! Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? You look sickly and pale. You've done too many shameless things. I wonder how much yang energy you have left."
