For several days in a row, Shen Yuhan didn't treat Fang Qingyue well.
Even though Fang Qingyue softened her tone and spoke, he seemed not to see Fang Qingyue.
As this happened more and more times, Fang Qingyue couldn't help but feel a little resentful in her heart.
So she no longer paid any attention to Shen Yuhan, but instead planned to find an opportunity to go outside the house to relax.
But just when Fang Qingyue had packed up and was about to go out, she heard someone from the mansion come to report that Li Junyi had sent someone to take her to the mansion to reminisce about the past.
Hearing this, Fang Qingyue couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
After she had arranged marriage with the Marquis's family, she had secretly glanced at Chen Qiu Nian a few times at the Lantern Festival.
She was still young at that time, and she only knew that Chen Qiu Nian would be her future husband. Seeing his rosy lips and white teeth, she felt a little happy in her heart.
But the young man in white clothes as white as snow that year eventually rotted away completely one day.
As for the Marquis' Mansion, she had little contact with it.
"That's not necessary." Fang Qingyue declined. "Now that I've broken off my engagement with the Marquis's Mansion, there's nothing to talk about."
Li Junyi specially invited her, perhaps for some conspiracy.
"Miss Fang, you don't have to be like this. Back then, the Marquis's Mansion and the Fang's Mansion were close friends. Lord Fang Xifu had a very good relationship with the Marquis, and they had gone out for drinks together many times. Even if the engagement was cancelled, the previous relationship between the two families still exists. Why be so cold?" The servant said earnestly.
Hearing this, Fang Qingyue's fingers, which were about to turn the page of the book, stopped.
She raised her eyelids and looked at the servant. After thinking carefully for a moment, she said, "Okay."
If this matter is related to her father, then she still has to go. At the very least, she wants to find out what happened back then.
Even if I knew that this trip to the Marquis' Mansion would be a Hongmen Banquet, I'm afraid it would be.
She called Chi Feng and asked him to help inform Shen Yuhan about this matter. She then stood up and left with the servants.
They arrived at the Marquis' Mansion, and the servant led Fang Qingyue into the mansion.
Li Junyi was sitting in the middle hall waiting. Seeing Fang Qingyue, she looked indifferent and said, "You're finally here."
She had heard from the servant that Fang Qingyue had rejected her, and a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes.
However, after all, Fang Qingyue was invited by her, so it would not be good to be too cold to her.
Fang Qingyue bowed and then asked, "Madam said earlier that you wanted to reminisce about the past with me. I wonder what you wanted to say?"
Li Junyi was not in a hurry and told Fang Qingyue about her childhood.
When Fang Qingyue was young, Li Junyi had indeed met her several times, and Fang Qingyue did remember the things she talked about.
But she didn't think that with Li Junyi's personality, she would talk about these things with her.
She waited for a long time, but Li Junyi didn't talk about what she was interested in. She felt something was wrong. When she stood up and was about to leave, she heard Shen Qiunian's voice coming from behind her: "Fang Qingyue, you are here as expected."
Hearing this, Fang Qingyue was suddenly shocked.
She pretended not to know and only bowed to Li Junyi: "Madam, I also remember those childhood stories, so there is no need to talk about them again. I have something else to do, so I will leave first."
After saying that, Fang Qingyue turned around and was about to leave.
But Shen Qiu Nian grabbed her wrist and said, "You don't have much to say to my mother, but you always have something to say to me, right? Come on, sit down first and talk it over."
His palm was still stroking the exposed part of Fang Qingyue's wrist, and his movements were vaguely ambiguous.
Fang Qingyue felt as if she was being entangled by a snake, and her hair was standing on end.
She frowned and tried to pull her hand back, her face showing a hint of impatience: "Master Shen, I am the daughter of a criminal that your mansion avoids, and I have lost my innocence. What do you want to do by doing this? Don't you know that it is illegal to forcibly take a woman?"
Hearing this, Chen Qiu Nian sneered and said, "Fang Qingyue, you agreed to come to the Marquis' Mansion yourself. I'm going to tell my uncle that it was you who came to the mansion to seduce me. Who do you think my uncle will listen to?"
Fang Qingyue exerted force on her hand and pulled back her wrist.
Looking around, I found that Li Junyi had disappeared.
Fang Qingyue retreated step by step with extreme caution, but Chen Qiunian had a determined smile on his face.
It is true that Shen Yuhan cares about Fang Qingyue, but if Fang Qingyue had defiled her body, would Shen Yuhan still want such an unclean woman?
Just as he was about to approach Fang Qingyue, the door was kicked open.
Shen Yuhan walked in aggressively from outside the door, his tone cold and disgusted: "Shen Qiu Nian, what do you want to do?!"
Just now, Chi Feng told him that Fang Qingyue was invited by Li Junyi to the Marquis' Mansion to reminisce about the past, and he felt something was wrong.
Li Junyi treated Fang Qingyue as an abandoned child that day. In order to preserve the reputation of his mansion, he made the fact that Fang Qingyue had lost her innocence known to everyone.
What else could they possibly have to talk about?
"Uncle... Uncle..." Hearing this, Shen Qiunian wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at Shen Yuhan cautiously, "I just want to talk to Fang Qingyue about some childhood things."
"She is in my house now. Even if you don't respect her, don't do this to disgust me." Shen Yuhan said coldly, "Let's go."
Having said that, he pulled Fang Qingyue and left without hesitation.
Sitting in the carriage, Shen Yuhan was still in a bad mood, with a gloomy face: "What are you doing in the Marquis' Mansion? What old things can you talk about?"
Fang Qingyue lowered her head upon hearing this and clenched the handkerchief in her hand.
After a while, she said, "I just want to hear if this matter is related to what happened to my father."
Unexpectedly, Chen Qiu Nian actually had other thoughts in mind!
"I will investigate this matter, you don't have to worry too much." Shen Yuhan also knew that their relationship had been strained in recent days, so his attitude softened a little.
"However, I always feel that Li Junyi seems to be hiding something from us." Fang Qingyue thought carefully for a while, "When she was talking to me just now, she was also looking outside, as if she was waiting for someone. But I can be sure that she is not waiting for Chen Qiu Nian."
Because Chen Qiu Nian did not enter the hall from the direction she was looking at.
Shen Yuhan and Li Junyi looked at each other, and it was obvious that they had thought of something.
After a while, he suddenly stood up and said, "Let's go back again."
The two men got off the carriage, but did not go directly to the Marquis's Mansion. Instead, they walked into a gold and silver shop on the street, as if they were going to buy jewelry.
Then he went around from the back door of the gold and silver shop to the gate of the marquis' mansion.
When they arrived outside the Marquis' Mansion, Fang Qingyue saw Ning Liangcai sneaking into the Mansion through a side door from afar.
"What is he doing here?" Fang Qingyue was startled and looked up at Shen Yuhan.
"Let's go." Shen Yuhan took Fang Qingyue's hand and walked around the wall of the Marquis' Mansion.
When they reached the courtyard wall, Shen Yuhan picked up Fang Qingyue horizontally and carried her over the wall with ease.
Fang Qingyue hugged Shen Yuhan's neck tightly, and when she landed carefully, she found that the place was very desolate and there was not even a single person to be found.
Shen Yuhan put her down, squeezed her hand gently, and said with a smile: "This is the road I often took when I skipped classes when I was a child. There is no one guarding it. Let's go."
