"Misunderstanding? Sheng Yunrong, who do you think I, Qin Wenyuan, am to easily misunderstand his wife?" There was a hint of coldness in Qin Wenyuan's voice. His eyes flashed with suspicion as he stared straight at Sheng Yunrong.

Sheng Yunrong's heart tightened. She knew her husband's temper. Once he misunderstood something, he would not let it go easily. She suppressed her panic and tried to make her voice sound calm: "Wenyuan, I really didn't do what you imagined. That day, I was chatting with my cousin in the garden and did mention some private matters, but it definitely didn't involve... anything like that."

Qin Wenyuan's expression eased a little, but he still remained alert: "The cousin you are talking about, is it the girl from the Li family?"

Sheng Yunrong nodded, with a pleading look in her eyes: "Yes, Wenyuan. I know you have been in a bad mood because of your busy work during this period. Maybe I said something unintentionally that made you misunderstand. But please believe me, I have never thought of betraying you."

Qin Wenyuan looked at Sheng Yunrong's sincere eyes, and the doubts in his heart gradually dissipated. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down: "Sheng Yunrong, do you know what I, Qin Wenyuan, hate the most? It's betrayal and deception. I am willing to believe you once, but if there is a next time..."

Sheng Yunrong quickly interjected: "I understand, Wenyuan. I am willing to spend my whole life to make up for this misunderstanding."

The atmosphere between the two gradually eased, and Qin Wenyuan's mood also returned to calm. He looked at Sheng Yunrong, and a trace of tenderness flashed in his eyes: "In this case, let's start over. However, you still need to be careful when interacting with others in the future."

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly, her eyes full of gratitude: "I will, Wenyuan. I will be more careful and never let you misunderstand again."

One day, Qin Wenyuan came back from outside and brought back an exquisite jade bracelet. He handed it to Sheng Yunrong and said, "I saw this by chance outside. I thought it would suit you very well, so I bought it."

Sheng Yunrong took the jade bracelet, with a hint of surprise in her eyes: "Thank you, Wenyuan. I like it very much."

Qin Wenyuan looked at Sheng Yunrong, feeling warm in his heart. He reached out and gently stroked her hair: "Sheng Yunrong, you know what? During this period of time, I have been reflecting on my behavior. Maybe I am too sensitive and have wronged you."

Sheng Yunrong shook her head gently: "No, Wenyuan. I have never felt wronged. As long as I can be with you, I am willing to endure everything."

Qin Wenyuan was moved. He held Sheng Yunrong's hand tightly and said, "Sheng Yunrong, let's cherish each other more in the future, okay?"

Sheng Yunrong smiled and nodded: "Okay, we should all cherish it."

As night fell, the Qin Mansion's garden was filled with fragrance. Qin Wenyuan and Sheng Yunrong walked side by side in the garden, the moonlight shining on them, forming a beautiful silhouette.

"Wenyuan, look, the flowers over there are so beautiful." Sheng Yunrong pointed to a bunch of flowers in front of her, her eyes sparkling with happiness.

Qin Wenyuan looked in the direction of Sheng Yunrong's finger and smiled gently: "Yes, just like our relationship, it has gone through wind and rain and will eventually bloom into beautiful flowers."

…

Sheng Yunrong frowned and said, "Wenyuan, Xiangzhu is a maid from our Qin Mansion. How could she do something like betraying her master?"

As soon as Sheng Yunrong finished speaking, Qin Wenyuan began to ponder, with a hint of doubt and worry in his eyes, and deep thought between his brows. After a moment, he slowly said: "Madam, I don't doubt Xiang Zhu's loyalty, but this matter involves a serious matter, so I have to be careful."

Sheng Yunrong's eyes flashed with dissatisfaction when she heard this, but she soon regained her composure. She sighed softly and said, "Wenyuan, I know your concerns. But Xiangzhu grew up in the mansion since she was a child, and we treat her like our own daughter. If she really had other intentions, why would she wait until today?"

Qin Wenyuan was silent for a while, then nodded: "Madam is right. Perhaps I am overthinking it. However, this matter still needs to be considered in the long run."

At this time, Xiang Zhu walked in, with a trace of worry on her face, and asked cautiously: "Master, Madam, what are you talking about? Is it related to me?"

Sheng Yunrong looked at Xiang Zhu, her eyes full of concern. She gently patted Xiang Zhu's hand and said softly, "Zhu'er, we are talking about you. You don't have to worry, we believe you."

Xiang Zhu heard this, a trace of gratitude flashed in her eyes, she bowed her head slightly and said softly: "Thank you for your trust, Madam. Zhu'er will do her best to serve the Qin Mansion."

Qin Wenyuan looked at Xiang Zhu, with a hint of admiration in his eyes. He said, "Zhu'er, you are a good child. It is a blessing for our Qin Mansion to have a maid like you."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Zhu's face flushed. She lowered her head and secretly made up her mind to work for the Qin family to repay the lady and the master's trust.

However, the good times did not last long. One day, a shocking news suddenly came from the Qin Mansion: a distant relative of the Qin Mansion was an official in the court and was investigated for being involved in a major corruption case, and this relative was Xiang Zhu's father.

This news shocked Sheng Yunrong and Qin Wenyuan. They immediately called Xiang Zhu to their front and asked her if she knew about it. Xiang Zhu turned pale instantly when she heard it. She shook her head with deep worry in her eyes.

Sheng Yunrong looked at Xiang Zhu, her heart full of contradictions. She was worried that Xiang Zhu would be implicated, but also afraid that she would really betray the Qin family. Qin Wenyuan's face was serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Zhu'er, this matter is very serious. If you really don't know, then forget it. But if you deliberately conceal it, don't blame me, the Qin family, for being rude."

Xiang Zhu burst into tears when she heard this. She knelt on the ground, tightly grasped Sheng Yunrong's skirt, and cried, "Madam, Zhu'er really didn't know about this. My father has always been an official in the court, and I always thought he was a good official who was honest and upright. I didn't expect that he would be involved in a corruption case. I... I..."

Sheng Yunrong looked at Xiang Zhu's tears and her heart softened. She helped Xiang Zhu up and said softly, "Zhu'er, get up. I believe you. But you must find out the truth immediately and clear your father's name."

Xiang Zhu nodded, knowing that she had to find out the truth as soon as possible to restore her position in the Qin Mansion. She said goodbye to Sheng Yunrong and Qin Wenyuan and immediately began to investigate.

…

Sheng Yunrong's tone was full of unquestionable firmness. Qin Wenyuan looked at her with a hint of doubt in his eyes, but he did not ask any more questions. He sighed softly and said, "Madam is right. Maybe I am too suspicious. But this matter must be investigated thoroughly."

At this time, Xiang Zhu lowered her head, looking nervous. She secretly glanced at Sheng Yunrong, and saw a soft flash in Madam's eyes, and she felt relieved. She bit her lower lip and said with courage: "Madam, Xiang Zhu really didn't do such a treacherous thing. That day, I did go to the temple outside the city to pray for the safety of the Qin family."
