Murong Rong said, "It was written after the exile. I think my sister is capable; I can't say for sure when the letter was sent."
Shen Yujiao was in a state of great anxiety when Murong Rong added the final straw.
"So I'm in a lot of pain right now. On one side is my husband, and on the other side is my sister. But my sister is using tricks to seduce my husband."
As she spoke, Murong Rong cried even more bitterly.
Shen Yujiao's expression grew increasingly grim. This was indeed inappropriate; she should have given her sister-in-law a little pointer, as she didn't want her to be talked about.
She took a deep breath: "I will try to communicate with my sister-in-law. I hope you can keep this a secret."
Murong Rong's face was very unpleasant: "Fine."
The next morning, Shen Yujiao anxiously told Mu Wanting about the incident.
Mu Wanting looked at the suppressed anger in Shen Yujiao's eyes and spoke in a flat tone.
“Yu Jiao, I thought you trusted your sister-in-law’s character. You might as well take a good look at when that letter was written. As an engaged couple, I don’t think it’s impolite to write those letters.”
Shen Yujiao was speechless.
Mu Wanting sighed.
"You've disappointed your sister-in-law somewhat."
Mu Wanting went into the tent, and Shen Mingjiao was poked by Shen Yujiao.
"Little sister, how can you be so stupid? It was obviously Murong Rong who instigated you, and you're using that to question your sister-in-law."
Shen Yujiao was already upset by what Mu Wanting said, and now Shen Mingjiao's words made her feel even more aggrieved.
"Actually, no, I just want my sister-in-law to stop associating with Prince Zhao. It's not good for her."
"How could you have seen them coming and going? Wasn't your sister-in-law avoiding him the whole time?"
"Little sister, you've always been too well protected. Don't let yourself be taken advantage of by those with ulterior motives. I was naive before, which is why I chose to be friends with Murong Rong."
"But after experiencing more things, I realized that Murong Rong wasn't very sincere towards us either. Before, it was because she liked Second Brother that she brought mostly clothes when she came to see us off, without even a little silver or food."
After she finished speaking, she said no more.
Shen Yujiao felt incredibly guilty.
However, the contents of the letter spread like wildfire the next day. People heard that Shen Yujiao questioned Mu Wanting, and everyone looked at Mu Wanting with strange eyes.
Shen Yujiao's face was pale, and she almost cried.
Mu Wanting was the same today, not even giving her a glance.
Shen Yujiao tried to talk to Mu Wanting several times, but Mu Wanting avoided her each time.
Murong Rong sighed, "That's just how my sister is. She can't tolerate any wrongdoing. Now that she's convinced you did it, she probably won't forgive you easily."
Shen Yujiao felt even more distressed.
Murong Rong continued speaking.
"But don't be afraid, Yu Jiao. No matter what happens, I will always be on your side."
Shen Yujiao glanced at Murong Rong with red eyes.
"I didn't know it would spread."
Murong Rong was smug, but Shen Yujiao was unaware of it, because it was she who had the maid spread the word.
"I'll explain it to my sister properly later."
Shen Yujiao thought Murong Rong was extremely gentle.
"Thank you, Sister Rongrong."
Rumors were rampant. Before, everyone thought that Mu Wanting was a chaste and virtuous woman who could remain unmoved by Zhao Shizi's pursuit.
But after learning the whole story, they realized that Mu Wanting was quite cunning. Even after getting married, she was still writing such letters. Wasn't she just keeping him hanging?
Shen Xinglan also heard this news in the past two days.
It's impossible for me not to mind. The contents of the letter were very ambiguous, and it even expressed the wish for a lifelong, monogamous relationship, which certainly sounded like Mu Wanting's tone.
He had always thought that Mu Wanting would only write these sentimental poems for him, so he might as well write them for Zhao Zhiyuan as well.
He felt a little angry, but more than that, he felt a pang of jealousy that he himself was unaware of.
He only asked Mu Wanting two questions.
Did you write the letter?
Mu Wanting nodded.
When was it written?
"Before we got married."
Then, without saying a word, Shen Xinglan carried Mu Wanting to the bed and bullied her severely.
"Will you still write letters to other men in the future?"
Mu Wanting, her lips swollen and red, looked up at him.
"It depends."
Then I was forced to kiss him.
Mu Wanting frowned and pushed him away.
"Shen Xinglan, you were the one who didn't want to marry me back then. You insisted on marrying Murong Rong. How can you blame me now?"
"Am I supposed to wait for you my whole life? I won't do that."
Shen Xinglan's eyes reddened with emotion.
"I already said it was a marriage arranged by my parents."
Is that all the affection you have for me?
Mu Wanting nodded: "Yes, that's all. I liked you the most when we first met, but your indifference broke my heart later."
"When I was in love with you, I did not do anything inappropriate with Zhao Zhiyuan. It was only after we got engaged that we started corresponding."
"What woman doesn't write letters to her lover?"
Her lover, she actually called Zhao Zhiyuan her lover!
Shen Xinglan's eyes reddened with anger, and she felt an even deeper sense of helplessness.
To put it bluntly, Zhao Zhiyuan's taking advantage of her vulnerability was all his own doing. If he had treated her better back then, Zhao Zhiyuan wouldn't have had any chance.
Please do not spread rumors.
Zhao Zhiyuan's voice came from outside the tent, and she slowly turned her head.
