"No, I definitely won't let that malicious woman marry into the Xiang Residence. She isn't worthy." Hearing Shi Anyi's words, Xiang Rong Qing stood rigidly in place, not moving no matter how she tried to pull him back, "I don't believe that she can do anything to me.

After he finished speaking, he pulled Shi Anyi's hand, and aggressively walked in Shi Anran's direction.

"Miss, Miss Xiang isn't a fool. Once she finds out that you're trying to sow discord, won't she be angry at you instead?" Looking at Xiang Rong's back, Shen Hong was a little worried.

Hearing her words, Shi Anyi smiled and shook her head, she was not in a hurry to explain and instead walked forward to follow her, "Shen Hong, Xiang Rongqing is extremely attached to her brother and cannot tolerate her brother being taken away. Furthermore, even without my words, this matter would have happened sooner or later.

"Moreover, this decision was made by Xiang Rongqing herself. No matter what happens in the future, it has nothing to do with me, so didn't I speak up for my elder sister a lot?"

While they were talking, the two of them had already caught up to Xiang Rongqing. Shi Anyi pulled her hand, while panting heavily, "Phew, I'm so tired.

"Big Sister An Yi, you don't know this, but ever since I was very young, my father had called me up to train with my brother every day. My father always told me that we were all part of a family of martial arts experts, after all.

As she said this, Xiang Rongqing raised her head and looked towards the distant sky, "Back then, my father wasn't always free. Most of me was still by my big brother's side, so I definitely wouldn't have allowed my big brother to be snatched away like this, big sister Anyi."

Shi Anyi patted the back of Xiang Rongqing's hand with a face full of envy, "I don't have a big brother, and I don't know what you're talking about. I'm just a Shu girl, and I don't enjoy as much as you do, but I can imagine this kind of feeling.

Hearing Shi Anyi's words, the smile on Xiang Rong's face became even more radiant. She liked to stick close to her brother, to the point where she felt that as long as she had her brother, it would be enough.

It was not like she didn't know that Shi Anyi and the others had purposely said something here to make her hate Shi Anran more and more, but in her opinion, if Shi Anran was truly good enough, there wouldn't be so many people who would hate her. So no matter what, she insisted on not letting Shi Anran marry her brother.

"Elder Sister An Yi, I'm a bit tired. I don't want to walk around anymore. Please accompany me to find my brother." Xiang Rong Qing pulled on Shi Anyi's hand, preventing her from continuing to walk forward, as he spoke with a slightly exhausted expression.

Hearing Xiang Rongqing's words, even though Shi Anyi was extremely unwilling, she could only nod her head. She was just a bit away from allowing Xiang Rongqing, this brainless person, to meet Shi Anran again, it was truly a pity.

"Tired? Then why don't we go to Jian Jia Yuan to rest? Your brother should still be busy right now. I have a very good cook in my yard, do you want to try it? "

Catching a snake required grabbing seven inches. Xiang Rongqing only had two pleasures in total, one was sticking close to her big brother while the other was liking all sorts of desserts. In her own words, every time her big brother wasn't around, every time he ate dessert, he would be as sweet as if he were still by her side.

Sure enough, as soon as Shi Anyi finished speaking, Xiang Rong's eyes lit up, "Really? The dessert made by the chef in our house is all about the same thing every day, and I'm getting tired of it. "

"Sister Rong Qing, Sister An Yi has assured you that you will definitely like this dessert. The taste is very special. This is the chef my mother specially brought me a few years ago. I will definitely surprise you." As she spoke, Shi Anyi held Xiang Rongqing's hand and turned around to look at Shen Hong, "When you go back, ask the kitchen to prepare the several types of dessert she's holding in her hands. Also, prepare the Swallow Nest Yam Sweet Rice Soup, Minute Fragrance Cake, and Plum Freezing Cake.

Elder sister An Yi, you make me drool. All these years, I've worked so hard to find a suitable chef to cook for me, but none of them caught my eyes. If I like them today, I'll have to come here every day.

Seeing her pleased look, Shi Anyi couldn't help but laugh as well. The two chatted and laughed as they walked towards Jian Jia Yuan.

After the two of them left, Shi Anran walked over from the side. Looking at their backs, he smiled and shook her head. Furthermore … Two scheming people flattered each other and acted the role of pure kindness. Were these two really not disgusted?

"Yi Yue, go investigate the background of the cook in Second Miss," Hearing Shi Anran's words, Yi Yue nodded, then continued, "When I was serving in the front courtyard, I accidentally overheard the lord finding a cook for Madam on her birthday. At that time, the Third Concubine went to find the lord to speak sour words, but as for what happened next, this servant does not know."

Yi Yue's words were perfect, she did not add any speculations, it could be said to be watertight. When Shi Anran heard that it even involved her mother, she couldn't help but frown. She also remembered one time when her mother had her birthday, she invited a chef who was very good at making pastries.

Could this be the chef who disappeared from her father's mouth? But why was it in Jian Jia's yard? She remembered her father saying that this chef had a weird temper and had spent a lot of money to invite her.

Then where did this cook come from? Or was it just her father fawning on her? A string of questions swirled in her mind, but she couldn't come up with an answer no matter how hard she tried.

"Miss." When she heard Yi Yue whispering in her ear, Shi Anran finally regained her senses and turned his head. Sure enough, when she turned her head, she just so happened to see Xiang Rongcheng standing at the side of the fake mountain not far away, looking at her. The corner of his mouth seemed to have a faint smile.

In the past two lives, she had only experienced the trashy brat, Crown Prince Li Gan, who had no opinions of his own, and Xiang Rongcheng was truly handsome. This time, when she saw him smile at her, her heart missed a few beats.

"Anran is so interested."

Hearing him use her name in such a low and deep voice, Shi Anran's cheeks began to burn unbearably.

"Young Master Xiang is really interested. He actually managed to sneak from the front yard to the back yard." Hearing the undisguised ridicule in her words, Xiang Rongcheng chuckled twice, "Anran is indeed an interesting woman, it even made me think of letting Anran grow up faster."

Hearing the hidden meaning in Xiang Rongcheng's words, Shi Anran felt like she was an outsider. It was as if the person he was talking about was not her.

"I've long heard that Lord Shang Shu's back garden is quite unique. Today's appreciation is indeed true, and it even gave me the feeling of lingering here, as if I didn't want to leave."
