Thud.
The door behind me opened.
Before Gong Ziming knew it, everyone had fallen inside.
Rong Shang helped him up, and he barely managed to stand.
With a cold glance, Rong Shang asked, "What is it?"
The second concubine pursed her lips, her expression not very pleasant, seeing that she hadn't even greeted her.
"Yunxi, I have something I want to ask you."
Rong Shang nodded, "Then ask."
She was a bit too direct.
The second concubine was speechless.
She looked around, then finally looked at the man in front of her and said, "Zi Mo, go back to your room and go to sleep."
This is to get him out of the way.
Gong Ziming refused, "No."
He turned to the side and grabbed Rong Shang's hand tightly.
Rong Shang paused, feeling that this sensation was somewhat different from before.
Looking up, the man in front of her pouted, looking unwilling. "I don't want to. I want to be with my sister."
Rong Chang had to admit, this guy's acting was superb.
If she hadn't known beforehand, she would have been fooled by him by now.
The second concubine thought he was being unreasonable.
"Zimo, go to sleep now. You can ask your sister to play with you when you get up first thing tomorrow morning."
She rarely used a coaxing tone with him, saying, "Sweetie, it's too late now, you should rest."
Rong Shang got goosebumps just listening to it.
Gong Ziming was no different.
He bit his lower lip and looked down at her.
She nodded.
He didn't know what to say.
"Okay," he said, sounding disappointed. "Then I'm going back to sleep."
"Okay, go ahead." Rong Shang patted his hand.
To everyone's surprise, he suggested, "Then give me a kiss, sister."
Rong Chang, “…”
Did he overact?
He actually let her kiss him?
Rong Shang was shocked. Didn't he despise her? Why would he ask her to kiss him?
The second concubine never expected that Gong Ziming would be like this after he went mad; she felt very embarrassed standing to the side.
Especially seeing them kiss in person.
It took the second concubine a while to come to her senses after Gong Ziming left.
Turning his head to look at the woman opposite him, he scoffed.
With a look of disdain, she said, "You're quite capable, managing to make Gong Ziming like you so much."
You should know that this person was arrogant and overconfident, both before and after the incident.
They don't respect anyone.
Rong Shang knew that she was resentful.
She just smiled and didn't answer her.
He simply stepped aside and invited her to sit inside.
The door closed shortly afterward.
Some people left and then returned, standing outside the door.
“Yunxi, I heard from the housekeeper that you were the one who escorted Zimo back that day.”
"yes."
Rong Shang knew that she must have come to ask about this matter.
She poured herself a glass of water, but poured her second concubine a glass of red wine.
He handed it over, and she took it.
"Yunxi, I want to know, what exactly happened that day?"
Her gaze was too focused.
Rong Shang and she exchanged a glance, then looked away.
She pursed her lips, a faint smile playing on her lips.
What she really wanted to say was, "Who are you?"
Why should you ask questions that even Master Gong and Madam Gong haven't asked yet?
Perhaps he himself felt that something was amiss.
The second concubine looked away and gave a fake smile.
When he speaks again, he only says nice things.
"Although Zimo is not my biological son, we are all family since we live under the same roof."
When the second concubine got to this point, her eyes suddenly welled up with tears.
Rong Shang thought it looked pretty fake.
“This child has always had a lot of misfortunes, and it breaks my heart to see him suffer like this.”
"I was genuinely happy for him when I heard from the master that his mental capacity had returned to normal, but who knew..."
