Liu's expression changed, and she interrupted harshly, "Enough! Weiwan, Ruorou is your cousin, how could you frame her like this?"
"I framed her?" Shen Weiwan pretended to be aggrieved, "Aunt, I just repeated what Master Li said. Besides, Master Li just admitted that it was my cousin who seduced him." She paused and looked at Liu, "Aunt, if this matter gets out, how can my cousin get married?"
Liu was speechless after being asked this question, and could only stare at Shen Weiwan fiercely, with a look that seemed to want to eat her alive.
Chen Weiwan pretended not to see it and bowed: "Aunt, cousin, now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, I will go back to my room first. Oh, by the way," she walked to the door and turned back, "I pretended not to hear that Mr. Li wanted to be my fiancé. But you two have to make it clear to the outside world about his 'cousin' relationship with my cousin, so as not to let people misunderstand it again - after all, whose cousin would fall like that in the garden, right?"
After saying that, she turned around and left without waiting for Liu's answer, leaving behind a mess and Shen Ruorou's suppressed crying.
"Miss, you were really amazing just now!" Chun Tao followed behind her, laughing so hard that she couldn't straighten her back. "That idiot Li Xiu actually said he was the fiancé, and he screwed the Second Miss and Madam Liu so badly!"
Shen Weiwan raised her eyebrows, picked up half a piece of mung bean cake in Chuntao's hand and stuffed it into her mouth: "Amazing? This is just the beginning. Didn't you see the look in Liu's eyes? It was as if she wanted to eat me."
"How dare she!" Chun Tao snorted. "Who in the mansion doesn't know about the scandal between Liu and her daughter and Li Xiu? The old housekeeper was just sighing at the door of the storehouse, saying it was a good thing you were smart, otherwise the general's mansion would have been disgraced by them!"
Shen Weiwan paused and looked towards the distant warehouse. The old housekeeper was her father's old subordinate. He used to think she was stupid, but now his attitude has slowly changed. This is a good sign.
"Let's go," Shen Weiwan clapped her hands, "Let's go back to our room and take a nap. When we wake up, we can listen to what 'new stories' are out there - for example, 'Mr. Li's proposal to marry him was rejected, and he was so angry that he exposed his cousin's scandal', which must be very exciting."
Chun Tao giggled and followed her into the courtyard. When passing by the water pavilion, Shen Weiwan glanced at it inadvertently, only to see the Seventh Prince Xiao Yu sitting inside, holding a book in his hand, but his eyes fell on her, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth.
For some reason, being stared at by those eyes made Shen Weiwan feel a little uneasy. She quickened her pace and pulled Chuntao into the moon cave door.
Xiao Yu watched her disappearing figure, his fingertips unconsciously tapping on the stone table. The guard beside him whispered, "Your Highness, Li Xiu is so stupid, do you still want to continue watching?"
"Of course." Xiao Yu closed the book, his eyes deep, "Don't you think that watching Chen Weiwan deal with these jumping clowns is much more interesting than reading the memorials?" He paused, thinking of the cunning look in Chen Weiwan's eyes just now, and the smile on his lips deepened, "Besides, I still want to watch her next 'drama'."
The guards didn't dare to ask any more questions and could only bow and retreat.
At this moment, Shen Weiwan was lying on the couch, listening to Chuntao reporting the latest "street gossip".
"Miss, you didn't see it. Li Xiu was pelted with stones by children on his way home, and they called him 'the gay fiancé'!" Chun Tao laughed so hard that she fell over. "And the second young lady, it was said that she woke up this morning to find the servants in the courtyard secretly laughing at her, and she was so angry that she smashed the mirror!"
Shen Weiwan closed her eyes, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth. Li Xiu, Shen Ruorou, Liu Shi… your “good days” have just begun.
The sun shone through the window screen onto her face, warm and cozy. Shen Weiwan turned over and decided to have a good sleep - after all, she still had to "visit" her exasperated aunt and cousin in the afternoon and "send" them some "comfort".
She doesn't want to miss the hustle and bustle of the capital.
