"It's good as long as elder sister doesn't blame me." Hearing Shen Yao's words, Chen Ruoran's initially nervous face finally revealed a gentle smile.

"How could I dare to blame my sister?" Shen Zhu took a deep breath and laughed coldly: "My little sister's body is delicate and precious, and is deeply doted on by your husband. It's good that nothing big happened to her since she ate so much, otherwise my husband would definitely blame me."

Chen Ruoran smiled bashfully, lowering her head and not saying a word.

"Big sister's words are a bit too serious." She held up the pearl hairpin and said with a smile, "However, since Elder Sister's body is not fully recovered yet, it's better for you to stay at home and rest. I won't disturb you any longer."

"I bid you farewell." The other concubines were all led by Chen Ruoran.

Although they did not say anything, they naturally did not stay any longer after seeing that Chen Ruoran was about to leave.

"Sisters, do you want to see me off?"

Shen Yao sent her out of the house with a fake smile.

She had not gone out for some time, and after suffering from anger at Chen Ruoran's place today, being at home was even more stuffy, so she decided to bring Qing Qing out for a stroll on the streets.

Shen Yao wandered aimlessly around the streets for more than half a day, and before she knew it, she was already near Yuzhu Pavilion. She brought Qingqing along as she stood at a corner in the distance, and watched the store bustle with business as well as the bustling figure.

"Elder sister?" Just as Shen Yao was in a daze, a feminine voice sounded out from behind her, pulling her thoughts back.

Shen Yao turned his head around and saw Chen Ruoran, who was standing not too far away, and Kong Linyuan, who was standing beside her and protecting her.

The moment she saw Kong Linyuan, her expression slightly changed, and quickly returned to normal. She greeted him with a smile.

"Yao'er, why are you here?"

Kong Linyuan's face flashed a look of astonishment.

"I was a bit bored staying at the mansion, so I wanted to take a walk."

Shen Yao's eyes stared intently at the two's intersecting arms, a trace of jealousy flashed past his eyes.

She suppressed the jealousy in her heart as she pretended to be generous and dignified. She smiled and said, "Husband is here to accompany my little sister to go shopping?"

"Elder sister has misunderstood. Hubby is busy with government affairs. Today, I just happen to be coming to the study to buy books, and coincidentally, we are travelling together."

Chen Ruoran spoke in a tender voice, and then laughed as she looked at Kong Linyuan, with a bashful look on her face.

"So that's how it is. Since hubby has something to do, how about I accompany my little sister for a walk?"

Shen Yao walked forward a few steps, pretending to be affectionate as he pulled Chen Ruoran's hand, as though they were sisters.

Ever since Chen Ruoran had married into Kong Family, she had already completely lost her favors. Other than Chen Ruoran, there was no one else who could please Kong Linyuan, and he treated her coldly more and more.

She felt the change in, afraid that one day Kong Linyuan would really dislike her and send her back home, so she couldn't wait to show her kindness in front of Kong Linyuan, even if it meant receiving a hint of his sympathy.

"Ruo'er, I'm going to buy books from the study room, so it's boring for you to wait here by yourself. Why don't you and Yao'er take a stroll around the area?"

Kong Linyuan thought for a bit before turning his head to look at Chen Ruoran who was nestled in his arms.

"Alright, alright then." Chen Ruoran replied somewhat unwillingly.

Seeing that, Kong Linyuan gave a few more orders, then started to walk towards the study room.

He had walked too attentively that he had not noticed the bustling figure of the woman in the shop next to the study.

"Elder sister, I see that the pastry shop is very lively. Why don't we go take a look?" Chen Ruoran pointed to Yuzhu Pavilion and laughed.

"What are you looking at? It's just a pastry shop, what's there to look at? "

Seeing that Kong Linyuan had walked far away, Shen Yao immediately dropped his pretentious face and roared at the lady.

She had only wanted to please Kong Linyuan in the first place. Since Kong Linyuan could not see it, she naturally did not want to pretend to be a quarter of an hour.

"If elder sister doesn't want to go, then so be it. I'll get my husband to accompany me there later." Chen Ruoran smiled, he walked to Shen Yao's side and leaned close to her ear, and whispered: "It's just that, with big sister throwing a tantrum like this, what will big brother do?"

The woman laughed coquettishly with a hint of provocation in her words.

"You!" Shen Yao glared fiercely at her.

"It's fine if elder sister doesn't want to go, but I'll go by myself."

Chen Ruoran glanced at Shen Yao complacently, then walked towards Yuzhu Pavilion's direction.

"Stand still." Shen Yao shouted angrily.

Chen Ruoran was doted upon at home, and was not afraid of Shen Yao at all, so he turned a deaf ear to her commanding words, and continued to walk forward.

Shen Yao saw that she did not have any intention to stop, so he rushed forward and extended his hand out to grab the woman's arm, "I told you to stop, did you not hear me?"

"I, I …" I just want to buy some pastries. " Chen Ruoran said innocently as he struggled out of his hands.

There were so many people on the street, and she knew that for the sake of image, she had to show herself as a weakling.

The two of them started fighting on the street immediately. Of course, it was Shen Yao who made a scene first as he dodged to the side.

The two maidservants stood by the side at a loss of what to do. They wanted to pull the two apart, but they were afraid of getting caught in the crossfire.

"All of you stop." Just as Kong Linyuan finished buying the books, he heard the commotion outside and immediately walked out. Seeing Shen Yao fighting with Chen Ruoran, he shouted loudly.

Shen Yao was dumbstruck, and even forgot to stop for a moment.

Chen Ruoran felt wronged: "Hubby."

Kong Linyuan looked at the stalemate and the increasing number of spectators that had gathered around him, and his expression suddenly became extremely ugly.

How embarrassing!

This Shen Yao, seriously...

"What are all of you standing there in a daze for? Hurry up and separate them! " Kong Linyuan glanced at the few servant girls standing at the side, and muttered.

"Yes, master."

After Shen Yao and Chen Ruoran separated, they were supported by a servant girl to stand by the side. After a round of fighting, the makeup of the two were already in disarray, and they looked to be in a rather sorry state.

The onlookers saw that there was nothing to see, so they dispersed.

"Hubby …" Chen Ruoran walked to Kong Linyuan's side with small steps, and wiped the corners of his eyes with the embroidered handkerchief that was filled with grievance.

"Ruo'er, are you alright?" Kong Linyuan immediately pulled her into his embrace and looked at her with concern.

"Husband, I'm fine." Chen Ruoran said gently.

After Kong Linyuan heard this, he turned his gaze to Shen Yao. He did not even bother to ask the reason for the incident: "Shen Yao, what are you trying to do? "You made a fool of yourself in such a public place!"

"Husband, I didn't. She was the one who …" She talked back to her mother.

Shen Yao anxiously explained, but before she could finish, Chen Ruoran interrupted and interrupted her explanation.

"Hubby, I just feel a bit unsatisfied seeing that you treat me so well. I don't think that I have any intention of hitting you." Chen Ruoran said.

"Ruo'er, you don't have to defend her. I have my own opinions on this matter."

Kong Linyuan lowered his head slightly to look at the woman in his arms. Seeing how gentle and magnanimous she was, forming a clear contrast with Shen Yao, his fondness towards her immediately increased even further.

"Shen Yao, you don't need to explain yourself. After you return to your residence today, stay in your courtyard. Don't go out for this month." Kong Linyuan looked at Shen Yao and spoke coldly.

The moment he finished speaking, he froze in place. Separated by the crowd, he saw the busy figure in the shop from afar and was momentarily stunned.
