The man holding Shi Anran let out a weird laugh: "Guards?"
Shi Anran suddenly opened his eyes wide, and it was not Wang Yuan's voice. Raising her head, she saw that the person before him had a distinct face, with wheat colored skin that showed that it was tough and durable, and a hint of happiness in his eyes. Two parts of the face was lazy, and looked as deep and beautiful as the night sky.
Shi Anran was embarrassed, she struggled to get down and said thanks, but maintained her composure. She never would have thought that the person she told Wang Yuan to bring along would actually be him.
Seeing her current state, thinking back to how she had just been pushed down, Xiang Rongcheng's heart couldn't help but move. It seemed that his little wife's days were not going well!
When the maidservant heard this, many people were startled. However, when they saw this scene, they didn't understand what was going on. Shi Anran secretly laughed, and thought that this man had become smarter. She did not expect that even so, she actually let his own servant girl do such a thing, and was afraid that she would not be dragged into it.
He wanted to see how his father would decide and how things would end.
On the other hand, Shi Yu sneezed in his heart. He was always in front, and when he saw that something had happened to Xiang Rongcheng and he did not reveal it, he had his principles. He was a handsome man, and his speech was filled with the boldness of a soldier.
Waiting for the servant to send him off, he returned to the backyard to burn incense to comfort his madam's spirit in heaven. Who would have thought that this servant would come in a hurry to report that something had happened at the Purple Bamboo Courtyard?
When he hurried over, he discovered that his eldest daughter was interrogating a servant girl. He frowned and asked, "What happened? What nonsense are you talking about? "
Seeing that his father had come, Shi Anran bowed slightly. He knew that his father had always been one to make small things out of nothing, which was why she chose to make a ruckus, and completely cut off Shi Anyi's path of retreat.
"Your daughter doesn't know either. Her daughter looked out from the fake mountain, but then she was suddenly pushed in the back, immediately being caught by a passing Young Master Xiang. Afterwards, the servant girl jumped out and called her daughter … "Howl …" Looking down, she could see the red blush on her cheeks. Seeing her current state, Xiang Rongcheng's heart moved, he walked forward and said: "You can call me your guard, but I just received some love from you, yet you call me a loathsome person. You even called me young miss for injustice."
After Shi Anran finished speaking, she lowered her head and held the handkerchief. Wang Yuan understood that this was a hint that he had given, and walked out immediately, kneeling and kowtowing: "Reporting to the Old Master, this subordinate has seen, this subordinate was originally on duty, but was happily chatting with the Young Master Xiang, thus I wanted to send you off, but I didn't expect to see the Young Miss fall down from the fake mountain. Luckily the Young Master Xiang was quick on his hands and knees, and after that the servant girl ran out. "A secret meeting, this subordinate is extremely afraid …"
When he said that, everyone understood. If Xiang Rongcheng was not here, then the one to receive him was him. Then, Yu Wei's words would be true.
Everyone knew that she had lost her mother this year. They thought that since her father hadn't married again, his days would be a bit easier to live with, but they didn't expect that there would be people who couldn't tolerate a single direct daughter of theirs. They didn't expect that they would use such despicable methods to frame a child.
Shi Yu's face was ashen, this could be considered his family's shame, if he did not investigate everything clearly in front of everyone, anyone who made him his enemy in the future, would be found guilty of being unscrupulous in their families.
He looked at the light red kneeling on the ground, took a deep breath, and asked: "Where is Second Miss?"
A weak voice came from the crowd. "Father."
Shi Anyi walked out of the house with her long skirt and a soft fur cloak wrapped around her body, which made her lips even more white.
But in her heart, she was overjoyed. She naturally heard Xie Hong's surprised cry, and naturally thought that the current Shi Anran could not argue at all, she prepared a pretense long ago in her heart, but did not expect to hear a crisp slap.
"Pa!"
Shi Anyi was startled, seeing Shi Yu angry, "Why is your servant girl here?"
The gazes around were burning, Shi Anyi only felt ashamed, she wanted to hide in the crevices of the ground. After getting rid of that fierce slap, her face was pale white, and she said shakily: "I was walking in the forest with my servant girl, so when I got tired, I told her to go get some water. After waiting for a while, I vaguely heard that she was screaming, and came to find us."
Her voice was trembling, but when it fell in Shi Anran's ears, it was instead to vent her anger. How had she ever received a slap from her father in front of so many people?
Shi Anran stood out and said in disbelief: "Didn't you come with me because of little sister?"
Shi Anyi gripped her sleeves tightly, her face was not blushing at all, and her heart was beating very fast: "Didn't Big Sis say that she had matters to attend to, so didn't she say that she needed to leave first? Furthermore, why would a good sister climb onto a fake mountain? "
Seeing that the situation was getting more and more unclear, Shi Yu was so angry that he nearly lost his balance, but he promptly supported his father and bowed towards the crowd, "Today's incident caused me to be especially amused, but the matter had already been resolved, and my daughter's family's disturbance could not affect my father. During my narration, I hope that all of you will stand up for yourself on account of your good relationship, and after coming out of this door, don't speak of anything against my father, I will endure whatever happens next."
These words were said with great force, and everyone's hearts were filled with praise, especially when they heard her talk about falling from the fake mountain as a fight and how she was always defending her father. They couldn't help but look up to her.
In fact?
It could be said that the words he said before was a trap in itself. Once he removed himself and his father, who would be left?
A personal grudge flashed through, and the reason for his visit was made clear. In the end, he said, "The reason I came was to see my unmarried husband, while everyone else watched him, I didn't even get a chance to glance at him before I became a kite with a broken string. Since I've finished what I wanted to say, all of you can say that I don't know shame, but I regret that I've implicated my father's reputation."
If it was anyone else, they would have thought to themselves that Xiang Rongcheng was a person, but who was Xiang Rongcheng, the general of the northwest border guards, who was this person? All the women there were very shrewd and did not have many rules, when they saw that Shi Anran was neat and organized, they immediately became interested and shouted out, "Alright, Uncle Shi has a good daughter, and this is my honor!"
The marriage between Xiang Family and Shi Family was something that everyone could see. Since he had already said so, what else could the others say?
As a woman, Shi Anran could only lower her head bashfully as she stared at the ground at her feet.
However, his heart still crumbled as he pulled Shi Yu along and cried, "Father, this is just a one-sided story, how can you believe it?"
