Feng Hengzhi turned around and his eyes suddenly fell on Sang Luan.
At this moment, Sang Luan was lowering her head, her shoulders slightly shaking, and the tip of her nose was faintly red, which was particularly conspicuous on her fair face.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and two bean-sized tears hung on her eyelids.
There was an aura of sadness emanating from his entire body, and his usually bright face now looked gloomy and sad.
Feng Hengzhi was silent for a moment, and a strange emotion quickly flashed across his already deep eyes.
He stared fixedly at Sang Luan's eyes, and the impatience between his brows and the disgust in his eyes instantly disappeared without a trace.
He was silent for a moment, then opened his lips and said, "Sorry."
Sang Luan suddenly raised her eyes, her expression obviously startled.
Just happened to meet Feng Hengzhi's complicated eyes.
Seeing her puzzled expression, Feng Hengzhi slowly took out a white handkerchief from his sleeve.
He took a step forward, grasped the handkerchief in his hand, pinched only one corner, and reached out to gently wipe the tears from Sang Luan's eyelids.
The two were so close that Sang Luan could feel Feng Hengzhi's body temperature.
Sang Luan raised the corners of her eyebrows slightly, and she actually saw a hint of tenderness on Feng Hengzhi's face.
It's an illusion, it must be an illusion.
She silently looked away, but heard Feng Hengzhi speak again, "I was wrong about what happened today."
His voice was cold, but it shocked Sang Luan.
Her eyes slowly widened and she was about to say something when the handkerchief suddenly fell into her hands. When she raised her eyes again, she didn't even see a corner of Feng Hengzhi's clothes.
She wiped the corners of her eyes briefly; the feeling of her heart pounding in the air had not yet completely dissipated.

Prince's Mansion.
Qi Ran glanced at the water in the basin, seemingly in disbelief. After sitting up straight, he took another look.
He was silent for a moment, then turned to Cang Hei and asked, "Tell me honestly, did you sneak in and beat me while I was resting?"
He looked at Cang Hei steadily, and his tone was very dangerous, as if he was about to explode at any time.
Cang Hei waved his hands repeatedly, "My Lord, even if you give me a hundred times the courage, I will never do such a thing!"
Qi Ran raised his eyes to look at him, lowered them slightly, and gently touched the bruise at the corner of his eye. He couldn't help but cry out in pain, "I don't think you dare, so tell me."
He pointed to the bruise at the corner of his eye and asked, "What the hell is going on?"
Cang Hei was silent for a moment, then tentatively asked, "You really can't remember anything about last night?"
Qi Ran let the maid beside him wipe his wound. Upon hearing this, he immediately raised his eyes and glared at him fiercely, "Didn't I go to see Changfeng last night? And then..."
As he was speaking, he suddenly became quiet, frowned slightly, and grabbed the maid's hand that was still wiping the wound.
The maid lowered her brows instantly, silently put away the things, turned around and left.
He looked at Cang Hei steadily and said, "I didn't do anything last night, did I?"
Cang Hei thought about it carefully, then shook his head firmly, "No."
Qi Ran's heart was still not at ease when he heard Cang Hei say seriously, "Last night, besides beating up the son of the Minister of Justice for the Crown Princess, you almost lost the last game at Jin Zhao Zui. The Crown Princess came to the rescue in time and you won the game."
He paused, then continued, "Then the Crown Prince's Consort brought Mr. Xiang's wife home."
Qi Ran paused, and suddenly chuckled. He looked around, then glanced to the side. He picked up an object beside him and waved to Cang Hei...
At the same time, in the side room of Yunyan Pavilion.
The woman lying on the couch had her eyes closed tightly and her face was very pale.
Suddenly, she moved her fingers slightly and woke up slowly.
His brows furrowed together and he knocked his head with his hand.
Suddenly, as if she suddenly remembered something, she lowered her eyes and covered her abdomen with her hands.
The moment her hand touched her abdomen, she was visibly stunned for a moment.
She covered her abdomen tightly with both hands, bent over slightly, murmured something in a low voice, and tears fell down her face.
Despite her sadness, she didn't make a sound.
It was as if all the pain and tiredness were kneaded together, crushed and swallowed.
The man's cruel words and disgusted expression last night kept appearing in my mind again and again.
Thinking of this, her tears fell even harder.
This was the scene Meng Youning saw when she opened the door.
Seeing this, Muxiang immediately closed the door.
Meng Youning walked forward and stopped only when he reached the woman's side.
Her gaze silently fell on the woman's abdomen, "Last night, I was still a step too late."
The woman bit her lower lip tightly, and traces of blood were faintly seeping out of her lips, but she seemed to be aware of it and continued to bite it hard.
She shook her head violently, staring blankly ahead. "It's my fault. I failed to protect my child. She didn't even have the chance to see this world. Not even a trace of her soul remains."
Meng Youning frowned, the person in front of her was in a very bad condition.
The words of comfort she wanted to say were on the tip of her tongue, but Xiang Hongxuan's actions appeared in her mind again, and she swallowed the words she was about to say in an instant.
Cheng Zhaodi's eyes turned slightly red. In a flash, she endured the pain in her body, suddenly stood up, and quickly knelt down heavily in front of Meng Youning.
The knee suddenly hit the ground with a thud.
Cheng Zhaodi didn't care at all. She knelt straight up, grasped Meng Youning's hands, and said with tears in her eyes, "You are a kind person. Thank you for saving me. Thank you so much!"
Meng Youning's eyelids twitched instantly. Before she could speak, Mu Xiang beside her bent down, gently supported her arm, and pulled her up. "Miss, please get up. My prince's consort doesn't care about these things."
Cheng Zhaodi shook her head violently and didn't move.
She raised her eyes and looked at Meng Youning, "Princess, please save me again. I am willing to be your maid."
She thought she had already seen through Xiang Hongxuan, but after what happened last night, she still couldn't suppress the discomfort in her heart.
Muxiang glanced at Meng Youning with some embarrassment, then silently took a step back.
Cheng Zhaodi knelt up again, and she was much calmer now.
She stared at Meng Youning, tears welling in her eyes as she said, "My name is Cheng Zhaodi. My parents sent me to Xiang Hongxuan's bed for my younger brother. Madam Xiang saw that I was pretty good-looking, so she let me stay in the mansion, but..."
At this point, she couldn't help but choke up.
Although she didn't say the rest of the words clearly, Meng Youning had already guessed most of it.
"It does sound miserable, but you've found the wrong person. I'm only slightly better than you." She sat casually aside, lowering her eyes. "I can't help you with this."
