Everyone knew that the Xiang Residence was filled with generals. Naturally, there were quite a number of troops and defensive diagrams hidden inside the household. This move was truly vicious.

"Anran, are you lost?"

Just when the two of them were planning to return and try, they heard familiar voices coming from behind them. Shi Anran turned her head to look, and sure enough, wasn't that Xiang Rongcheng?

"Young Master Xiang, what a coincidence, we could bump into each other if we were to be lost."

Hearing Shi Anran's somewhat weird voice, Xiang Rongcheng couldn't help but laugh and shake his head, "You and I are not enemies, why do you always sound like you have a thorn in your side?"

In fact, when he saw Xiang Rong City appear here, Shi Ran had guessed that he had come here on purpose to lead them out. However, when he thought about the feelings that Xiang Rong City had for her, he could only harden his heart.

With Xiang Rongcheng's help, the master and servant didn't spend too much effort to leave. Although they didn't leave early to congratulate him, they were fortunate that they weren't the last ones.

Furthermore, Xiang Zheng was very satisfied with Shi Anran, so after a while, he started laughing out loud happily, "Madam has arranged a good marriage for Rong Cheng, Anran, I could tell that it was a good marriage just by looking at it."

Hearing Xiang Zheng's words, Shi Anran could only force a smile. To be honest, she would rather not have such praises.

Xiang Rongcheng also saw the reluctance on Shi Anran's face, and frowned slightly. He did not know what was the reason for her dissatisfaction, and could it be for the sake of letting Murong Qing down today?

Thinking about it, Xiang Rongcheng felt a headache coming on. He had already told Xiang Rongqing countless times, but she had never listened to him. Instead, he had always treated him as an enemy.

"Brother, why did you help her?"

When no one was paying attention to them, Xiang Rongqing pulled Xiang Rongcheng and walked out. When they reached a place with no one around, Xiang Rongqing could no longer endure and asked.

Although Shi Anran had walked in alone with the little girl just now, Xiang Rongqing knew how difficult the road to the study was. If there was no one to help, Shi Anran would definitely still be unable to come out from the study.

Hearing that, Xiang Rongcheng could not help but frown, "Rong Qing, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand you?"

"What's so good about her, Shi Anran? Why are you protecting her like this!"

Seeing that Xiang Rongqing seemed to be slightly out of control, in order to not attract the attention of the bystanders, Xiang Rongcheng could only reach out and tap her sleeping points, then have Smoke Willow take her back.

Xiang Rongcheng, who had quietly returned to his original position, did not attract anyone's attention.

"Cheng'er, where's Qing'er?"

Hearing Xiang Zheng's question, Xiang Rongcheng cleared his throat, "Liangqing is not well, I've already had Smoke Willow carry her back to rest."

Hearing this, Xiang Zheng nodded. He looked at the people in the room and said in a clear voice, "I thank all of you. I hope that everyone will be able to enjoy themselves today."

As soon as Xiang Zheng finished speaking, the people below started chattering, but the scene was a little chaotic.

"Yi Yue, did you see Shi Anyi?"

After looking around and not seeing any trace of Shi Anyi, Shi Anran slightly frowned, and softly asked Yi Yue who was beside him.

"Miss, this servant was also looking for you just now. Two, young, young mistress, I didn't see you."

When Shi Anran went out today, she felt that something was amiss with Shi Anyi. Then where is Shi Anyi now?

If Shi Anyi dared to do anything to her today, and embarrass her, she would definitely not let her go.

"Miss, this servant will definitely take care of you."

Sensing the fierce aura from Shi Anran's body, Yi Yue leaned on her and whispered.

Shi Anran nodded, and did not say anymore words, but her heart could not help but become heavy.

And in an unknown corner of the Xiang Residence, two figures were speaking in a low voice, one of which was the Shi Anyi that Shi Anran was looking for earlier. No one knew what the person opposite him was talking about, but Shi Anyi's face revealed a somewhat twisted smile.

"Alright, I'll do it!"

Our master said that if everything is done well, she will naturally help you realize your wish. Alright, it's getting late, Second Miss should go back quickly.

After obtaining what he wanted, the smile on Shi Anyi's face became even more obvious, and he did not notice the taunting in the eyes of the girl.

From the moment Si Rong was left behind by Shi Anyi, he had been constantly searching for her, in case there was still an even more unbearable punishment after he returned today.

"Si Rong."

Hearing that someone was calling her, Si Rong only thought that it was Shi Anyi, but he didn't expect that the moment he turned his head, he would see the young miss and her servant girl.

"Eldest Miss, may I ask if you have seen our Miss? "Just now, this servant wasn't paying attention and ended up being separated from the Miss."

After hearing Si Rong's words, Shi Anran was even more certain of her guess, which was also the same for Yi Yue.

Seeing the two people in front of her looking at her with furrowed brows, Si Rong thought they were going to blame her, so she could only lower her head and wait for her 'judgment'.

After a long while, Yi Yue finally noticed that Si Rong was still waiting for their reply, smiled and walked up, "Miss and I were also looking for Er, little, big sis, I don't know where she went. She's unfamiliar with this place, so Miss is naturally worried about Second Miss."

Hearing Yi Yue's words, in addition to her own understanding of Shi Anran after entering the Palace, she couldn't understand why such a good young miss would always say things that would slander her.

Just as she was at a loss, Shi Anyi walked over from another direction. Seeing Si Rong standing in front of Shi Anran, a wave of anger surged into his heart.

Fortunately, she still knew that this was the Xiang Mansion, so she had no choice but to suppress her anger and force out a slightly twisted smile.

"I wonder where that little girl Mo Er went. She is with big sister!"

Hearing Shi Anyi's fake smile, Si Rong couldn't help but shiver. That's right, the Miss said that she didn't like the people in her courtyard dealing with the Eldest Miss, would the Miss misunderstand her?

"Si Rong, why aren't you coming over to help your young lady?"

Seeing that Shi Anran did not have any intention to bother with her, Shi Anyi could only vent her anger on Si Rong.

When Si Rong walked over to her side with small steps, Shi Anyi used all her strength to pinch her body a few times.

Seeing Shi Anran looking at her with a smile that was not a smile, Shi Anyi did not know why, but she suddenly felt that she was short of breath.

However, she felt that there was nothing to worry about when she recalled that man's promise to her. She smiled proudly and led Si Rong forward.

It was only when Shi Anyi's figure disappeared into the distance that Shi Anran finally withdrew her gaze. She had just seen that kind of complacent and provocative gaze from the person behind her. Other than the malicious tricks the person behind her had given her and the promise she had given her, she really could not think of any other benefits that could cause Shi Anyi to be this arrogant.

However, since Shi Anyi wanted to play, she would play along with her and have a good time!
