Chapter 3: Shengsheng, you are really still alive!
The guests were looking forward to seeing the beauty making incense, and now they nodded after hearing Ruan Yunsheng's words.
"This Hanxiang Feiyun Grass is a rare medicinal herb. Using it to make incense is indeed too extravagant."
Hearing the guests' discussions, Bai Ruowei's face flushed instantly.
Since she came to Shengjing, she has been able to get along well with the noble ladies by virtue of her status as the daughter of a minister and her superb incense-making skills.
Not only do men admire her, but women also regard her as their best friend.
No one has ever been so disrespectful to her and made her lose face in public!
Why is Ruan Yunsheng so annoying!
And Ruan Yunbo, this sister-con, is also hopeless!
No wonder he can only play the supporting male role and can’t win the favor of the heroine.
Bai Ruowei's maid Qiu Xin stepped forward and said, "My Lady, my young lady spends all day guarding the incense burner and making incense. She considers making incense her life! How can you slander her like this?"
Ruan Yunsheng glanced at her and said, "I haven't been back for five years, and I already don't understand the rules of Shengjing. Now even the maids can stand up and make decisions at will?"
Bai Ruowei said softly, "Princess, although Qiuxin is nominally my maid, we are like sisters."
"Besides, maids are also human beings. I don't think they are inferior to others."
Ruan Yunsheng looked puzzled. "Then why didn't you stand and let the maid sit? You watched her while she ate and drank tea? Is your sisterly love not deep enough?"
Bai Ruowei dug her nails into her palms. The script said that Ruan Yunsheng had an arrogant personality, and it turned out to be true!
I just didn't expect that she was so eloquent.
Bai Ruowei wanted to argue, but her character was that of a goddess who was detached from the world, and she couldn't destroy the image of Bai Yueguang that she had worked so hard to build.
She calmed down and whispered, "Never mind. Ruo Wei is not worthy after all. Since the Third Young Master is unwilling to fulfill his promise, Ruo Wei will take her leave first."
After she finished speaking, she walked out without any reluctance.
Under normal circumstances, Ruan Yunbo would have chased after her to explain. But now, his sister, who had been missing for five years, had finally returned, and he really couldn't care less about coaxing Bai Ruowei.
He only said, "Ruo Wei, I will make it up to you another day."
Bai Ruowei didn't expect that she was about to leave, but Ruan Yunbo didn't even bother to comfort her!
She pulled the corner of her lips slightly, gritted her teeth and left.
Ruan Yunbo looked at his sister, "Shengsheng, shall we go home too?"
The other side.
Mo Ying whispered, "Your Highness, the Hanxiang Feiyun Grass is now in the hands of the princess. Why don't you discuss it with the princess and ask her to sell it to you?"
Xie Yan tried hard to suppress his emotions. He finally realized that he was not dreaming and Shengsheng was really still alive!
Originally, he no longer cared about his own life or death, but Shengsheng came back, and he really couldn't bear to die.
Even if Shengsheng hates him, as long as he looks at Shengsheng occasionally, his life has meaning.
But Shengsheng just told Bai Ruowei that Hanxiang Feiyuncao can save lives.
He was not so self-indulgent and felt that Shengsheng wanted to save his life.
So, who is Shengsheng for?
Could it be that... Shengsheng's body hasn't recovered?
Thinking of this, Xie Yan could no longer sit still and came to Ruan Yunsheng.
The voice was hoarse: "Princess, you are back. I wonder if everything is okay with you?"
Yes, the relationship between him and Shengsheng was always distant, and he only dared to call Shengsheng in his heart.
In front of outsiders, he could only call her "Princess".
Fortunately, Prince Duan is already married, so she won't be his sister-in-law anymore...
Ruan Yunbo's face darkened the moment he saw Xie Yan. He said in a cold voice, "Xie Yan, what are you doing here? Are you dissatisfied with not killing Sheng Sheng? I'm warning you, stay away from Sheng Sheng from now on!"
Xie Yan felt a sharp pain in his heart, his tall body swayed, and he began to cough violently.
Ruan Yunsheng also turned his gaze to Xie Yan.
Even though the two had been sworn enemies since childhood, she had to admit in her heart that Xie Yan was extremely outstanding.
He was much taller than he remembered, his figure more slender and upright, but he was thin to the point of being frail. The snow-white crane cloak wrapped loosely around him made his shoulders and waist look even broader and narrower, as if they would break at the slightest breeze.
That face was still striking, with deep brows and a sharp jawline, which made the outline of his youth look even more severe, but his complexion was as pale as snow, revealing a sickly look that indicated that he would not live long.
Compared with his third brother who was surrounded by gold and jade, Xie Yan looked even more miserable.
Ruan Yunsheng couldn't help but feel disgusted: "How did you get yourself into this state?"
He used to have a nice face, but now he looks sickly.
The first thought in her mind at the moment she fell into the lake was that if she died, she would not let Xie Yan go even as a ghost!
On the way here, she also thought about slapping Xie Yan when she saw him. It was his fault that he caused her to fall into the lake!
But now, seeing Xie Yan's appearance of being easily blown down by the wind, she doubted that she could slap Xie Yan to death with just one slap.
To be honest, she now has complicated feelings towards Xie Yan.
If Xie Yan hadn't asked her out, she wouldn't have fallen into the lake; but if she hadn't fallen into the lake, she wouldn't have known what was in the story, and her brothers wouldn't have turned against Xie Yan.
And she already knew that this world existed in the storybook, so this problem was simply unsolvable.
Of course she was resentful towards Xie Yan, but she couldn't bear to see him suffer the same fate as in the story.
Moreover, it was beyond her expectation that Xie Yan, such a self-disciplined and conservative guy, would turn out to be the villain.
After hearing Ruan Yunsheng's words, Xie Yan curled the corners of his lips and said self-deprecatingly, "Really? I also think I look ugly now."
Although Ruan Yunsheng's tone was unfriendly, Xie Yan was still so excited that his fingertips trembled.
As long as he could still hear her talking, he would be happy even if she beat and scolded him every day.
Ruan Yunbo glared at Xie Yan and said rudely, "Shengsheng, ignore him."
Although the collapse of the White Jade Bridge was an accident, if Xie Yan hadn't had bad intentions and asked his sister to go to the Lakeside Pavilion in the snow, his sister would never have set foot on that bridge!
After the incident, he and several brothers questioned Xie Yan, asking him why he wanted to meet his sister alone.
Xie Yan said nothing, obviously he had something to hide!
The fact that the four sons of the Marquis' Mansion and King Xuan had become enemies was known to almost everyone in Shengjing.
Although the auction had ended, in order to join in the fun, everyone did not leave, but instead looked over here.
"Brother, this is not the place to talk, let's go home first."
Ruan Yunsheng looked at Xie Yan again and shook the brocade box in his hand. "If you want this Hanxiang Feiyun Grass, come to the Marquis' Mansion tomorrow."
Ruan Yunbo frowned, "Shengsheng, why did you let him come to the Marquis' Mansion? He almost killed you!"
In fact, Xie Yan grew up in the Marquis' Mansion.
When his father returned from the battlefield, he brought seven-year-old Xie Yan back home, saying that he was a child he picked up on the road. Who knew that Xie Yan was actually the emperor's illegitimate son.
Xie Yan has been aloof since childhood, so the relationship between him and his brothers is not very close.
Especially the death of Ruan Yunsheng caused them to completely turn against Xie Yan.
Ruan Yunsheng looked at Ruan Yunbo, "Third brother, some things must be made clear."
Ruan Yunbo glared at Xie Yan again, but said nothing more. He just grabbed Ruan Yunsheng's wrist and said, "Let's go home."
The word "go home" still made his eyes red, even though he didn't say it to Xie Yan.
He tried hard to suppress the bitterness in his heart. He was not angry about Ruan Yunbo's attitude, but felt grateful instead.
The fact that he still had the opportunity to meet Shengsheng and talk to her was already the greatest blessing from God.
Ruan Yunbo pulled her sister downstairs, and Xie Yan followed behind.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they reached the door of Zuiyu Tower, they saw a man walking towards them.
Xie Huaiye was dressed in gorgeous clothes and walking in a hurry, with snowflakes falling on his shoulders.
He saw Ruan Yunsheng and stopped abruptly, his voice hoarse: "Shengsheng, you are really still alive!"
