Chapter 176 Joint Discussion

When Rongchang Hou heard this, he was moved. He did not take the box, but gently pushed it back to Qiu Kaiyang and patted his shoulder again, his tone full of warmth and trust. "Fei Yan went out today and heard those rumors. She was unhappy and has been crying since she came back. Before I met you, I had been trying to persuade her, but I was not good at speaking and couldn't coax her.

Since you are here, just give this to her in person. She will be happier when she sees it. You can go and persuade her for me. She can't cry and hurt her body because of some false rumors."

Rong Changhou brought Qiu Kaiyang to the door of Rong Feiyan's room and did not disturb the two of them. He was afraid that Qiu Kaiyang would not be able to let go, so he found an excuse to leave after bringing him there, just to create a quiet space for the two of them to talk.

After Rongchang Hou left, Qiu Kaiyang stood outside the door with mixed feelings. After hesitating for a moment, he finally plucked up the courage and slowly approached the door. The suppressed crying sounds from inside the door came to Qiu Kaiyang's ears intermittently. His eyes were red and he felt distressed and anxious.

He knocked on the door gently, but there was still crying from inside, and no one paid attention to the movement outside. Qiu Kaiyang knocked again, but the crying was still there, and the person in the room never responded. Qiu Kaiyang was anxious, and didn't care whether he would disturb the girl inside, so he said, "Fei Yan, it's me, can you please open the door and let me see you?"

His words were full of affection and concern. The person inside the door stopped crying when she heard his voice. After a while, there was a rustling sound from inside the door, the sound of water splashing, and the sound of a dressing table closing. After some trouble, the door was opened from the inside.

Que'er came out from inside, her eyes were red and slightly swollen, obviously she had cried too. When she saw Qiu Kaiyang, she looked at him with a complicated expression, then stamped her feet angrily and left.

Qiu Kaiyang was completely confused and was about to ask more questions when Rong Feiyan walked to the door. Qiu

Kaiyang stared at the girl in front of him, his heart surging with indescribable pity. Her eyes were red and swollen, as if she had carried too many unshed tears, revealing endless sorrow and fatigue. Although her hair had been combed, it still looked a little messy, with a few strands of hair carelessly hanging down in front of her forehead, adding a bit of weakness and helplessness to her.

Although the tear marks on her cheeks had been wiped carefully, the wet traces were still faintly visible, allowing people to feel the intensity and deep affection of her previous crying. Her skin was slightly pale due to crying, which made her look more fragile and in need of care.

Qiu Kaiyang looked at the girl's weak and helpless appearance, and his heart felt as if it was being pulled up. He wanted to hug the girl in front of him tightly, but he still restrained himself. However, reason and respect made him restrain this impulse. He looked at her quietly with gentle eyes.

Rong Feiyan lowered her eyelids, deliberately avoiding looking directly at the person outside the door. She was afraid that the other party would say something that was difficult for her to accept, but her inner stubbornness and pride did not allow her to escape, so she came out to see him, waiting for him to speak, and was ready to deal with all possibilities.

But the person outside the door was slow to speak, Rong Feiyan finally lost her patience and slowly raised her eyelids, and saw him looking at her with gentle eyes, with heartache and pity intertwined in his eyes. This made Rong Feiyan stunned for a moment, and she was a little unable to react. This was very different from her previous assumptions, and she was a little at a loss.

The girl in front of him finally looked at him. Qiu Kaiyang couldn't suppress his inner impulse and shouted, "Fei Yan!"

Rong Feiyan calmed down, sorted out her thoughts, and asked quietly, "Why did you ask the captain to come to me at this time?" While speaking, her eyes moved, and she stared at Qiu Kaiyang with resentment, as if she was angry and resentful.

Qiu Kaiyang couldn't wait to say, "I'm worried about you!"

Rong Feiyan suddenly widened her eyes, looked at him in disbelief, and suddenly her face flushed.

Since Qiu Kaiyang had already spoken, the rest of the words came out easily, "I'm here to give you the bracelet that was passed down from my ancestors. This is what my mother told me to give you today. I know whether the things outside are true or false. Don't be trapped by rumors. We are here for everything!"

Rong Feiyan heard this, tears welled up in her eyes. The noble family valued reputation and prestige. She was framed by rumors outside. She thought that the other party would use this to humiliate her, but she didn't expect that they were afraid that she would be sad and came to comfort her. Rong Feiyan was extremely lucky at this moment. When the late emperor asked her who she loved, he mentioned Qiu Kaiyang's name.

Seeing Rong Feiyan crying, Qiu Kaiyang was a little flustered. He looked around, but he didn't see the maid. In a hurry, he stretched out his hand and wiped the tears for the woman he loved in front of him.

His movements were clumsy and his hands were rough from years of martial arts training. Rong Feiyan's face was slightly hurt by his clumsy appearance. However, Rong Feiyan was pleased by his clumsy appearance. She burst into laughter. Tears and laughter intertwined, making her look particularly moving. Qiu Kaiyang saw this and his tense nerves relaxed instantly.

Rong Feiyan spoke in a voice with a tearful tone, "I know your intentions. I also know that I am not wrong in this matter. It's just that the bad guys are vicious. But the rumors outside can't be ignored. When I think of the way those people looked at me outside, I wish I could die immediately." Rong Feiyan couldn't help trembling when she thought of those contemptuous, unkind, and vulgar eyes.

Qiu Kaiyang grabbed her hand through her clothes, hoping to give her some strength. "Let's go find Princess Minglan. This matter also involves her. Let's see if she has a good plan to deal with it."

Qiu Kaiyang's words reminded Rong Feiyan that the other protagonist of the rumor was Minglan. Thinking about it carefully, this rumor seemed to be more targeted at Minglan.

"Then I'll go to Sheng Mansion to ask the princess for her opinion after I pack up."

Rong Feiyan called Que'er back, washed up again, said goodbye to Rongchang Hou, and went to Sheng Mansion with Qiu Kaiyang.

The two of them left Rongchang Hou's mansion and walked to the crowded street. Rong Feiyan thought of the unbearable words she had heard before, and she was a little scared in her heart. However, she didn't expect that the voices outside had changed this time. Most of the words were praising the princess, and she didn't hear much talk about the rumors.

When the carriage arrived at the Sheng Mansion, Qiu Kaiyang helped Rong Feiyan down from the carriage, and the two of them entered the Sheng Mansion together after the gatekeeper announced. When

they arrived at the Sheng Mansion, they saw Changbai and Xiaotao waiting in the courtyard. When they saw the two of them, they smiled and came forward.

After the greetings, Changbai spoke first, "Kaiyang, we haven't seen each other for some time. You are so proud now." Changbai smiled and glanced at Rong Feiyan, and joked to Qiu Kaiyang.

At this time, Xiaotao walked to Rong Feiyan's side, "Miss Rong, my daughter is waiting for you in the backyard garden, and she specially sent me to invite you to come."
