Now was not the time to settle the score. Third Concubine waved her hand, allowing Ru Nian to go down first.

Just like Shi Anyi, she felt that the responsibility for today's matter lay solely with Shi Anran.

Third Concubine felt that even though Shi Anyi was an unmarried woman, she had went out with Shi Anran. Then, Shi Anran would have the responsibility to protect Shi Anyi, how could she allow Shi Anyi to become everyone's joke?

What's more, wasn't Shi Anran's mother good sisters with Lady Xiang? In this situation, as long as Shi Anran spoke a few good words, her daughter would not have to endure any more.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was the case. Third Concubine walked forward and knocked on Shi Anyi's door, "An Yi, open the door for me, Mother knows what's going on.

Listening to Third Concubine's words, the sound of porcelain being swept away could faintly be heard from inside the house. After a long while, Shi Anyi had finished venting her anger, and then, she opened the door for Third Concubine.

Seeing Third Concubine's worried expression, Shi Anyi immediately threw herself into Third Concubine's embrace. Her mood also instantly collapsed as she started to cry loudly.

Shi Anyi had not cried in so many years, and seeing her crying in such a pitiful manner, Third Concubine felt her heart ache.

Third Concubine lightly patted Shi Anyi's back as she consoled her in a low voice, "An Yi, stop crying, stop crying. Mother will definitely think of a way to take revenge for you."

"An Yi, your mother said that your father is still restricting your movements and preventing you from leaving. You can go and tell your father about your grievances."

Hearing Third Concubine's words, Shi Anyi stuck her head out from Third Concubine's embrace and asked, sobbing, "Can it work?"

"Sure, as long as you act a little more pitifully, your father will definitely believe you. How can mom lie to you?" After hearing this, Shi Anyi also felt that it made sense and gently nodded his head before burying his head in Third Concubine's embrace.

After a long while, she finally spoke again in a muffled voice, "Mother, today, my daughter suddenly felt like she knows everything. Moreover, my daughter actually had a secret that was opened up in front of her today, there's no room for hiding. Do you think my daughter is overthinking it?"

Hearing Shi Anyi's words, Third Concubine sucked in a breath of cold air. Why, why had she also felt this way before, looks like Shi Anran really couldn't stay any longer, regardless if it was true or not, she would rather kill wrongly than to let her go. She didn't think that Shi Anran would let her go after knowing what she had done.

However, although this was what Third Concubine was thinking, she didn't let Shi Anyi know.

It had to be said that although the Third Concubine was a bad person, she at least had a very good mother for Shi Anyi.

Early morning of the second day, Shi Anyi was already waiting in the front yard. When Shi Yu returned, because she was standing there for a long time and the weather was right in front of her, she seemed to be exhausted.

After all she was his biological daughter, Shi Yu hurriedly rushed forward to support Shi Anyi, so as to prevent her from falling onto the ground. He turned around to look at the little girl beside Shi Anyi and reproached, "How are you taking care of Miss? "All of you go find Uncle Yang for your punishments."

Hearing Shi Yu's words, every single one of them hurriedly kneeled on the ground, lowered their heads, and didn't dare to even breathe.

Shi Anyi gently pulled on Shi Yu's sleeves, and weakly shook his head: "Father, what has nothing to do with them, is daughter persisting on her own, they can't possibly force her to go back and rest."

The reason why Shi Anyi said those words was not because she was being considerate towards these servants, but because of Third Concubine's orders. Originally, Shi Anyi was hesitating whether she should obey or not, but the moment she touched Shi Yu's soft eyes, she knew that she took the right step.

Hearing Shi Anyi's sensible words, Shi Yu nodded his head in gratification. "An Yi has also grown up."

Actually, Shi Anran had already received the news when she had just arrived at the front courtyard. However, he didn't say anything, and the corner of his lips curled up.

As for Liu Yue, after hearing what happened last night, she was furious for a long time, and especially what happened with Shi Anyi in the morning, she was even more unconvinced, "Miss, how can you allow Second Miss to …"

While complaining, Liu Yue sized up Shi Anran's expression, and was about to say something but stopped himself.

Shi Anran held her back and frowned, "Have you forgotten the lesson last time? Or do you want to try out the feeling of not being able to eat? "

Hearing Shi Anran's words, Liu Yue immediately shut her mouth, and did not say another word.

Seeing that, Shi Anran continued: "Third Concubine and the rest are just grasshoppers after the fall, they will only be for a few days. Why are you all in such a hurry here?"

Hearing Shi Anran's words, the girls beside her all started laughing. Like I said, why would their young miss do such a thing to make me suffer a loss?

Before long, the sound of someone walking in could be heard from outside the room. Yi Yue stuck her head out suspiciously as she could tell that it was a man's movements.

"H-Young Master Xiang?"

Hearing Yi Yue's surprised voice, Shi Anran frowned. She had already explained everything clearly last night, why was he still here today?

Since the night before, when she had received the news that Shen Hong had secretly spread to her, she had already went to visit Wang Yuan at the Xiang Residence.

It was just that he did not expect Lady Xiang to ask Xiang Rongcheng to come.

"Anran, how come you saw me in a daze?" When Xiang Rongcheng entered, he saw Shi Anran sitting there in a daze, and couldn't help but think of a joke.

Shi Anran's words pulled her mind back to reality as she frowned. She did not understand why Xiang Rongcheng acted as if nothing had happened.

Actually, when Xiang Rongcheng said that to him yesterday, Xiang Rongcheng was also a little angry, but after calming down after going back in, he felt that Shi Anran's worries were not unreasonable.

There were too many changes in this world that he couldn't control. Most importantly, he knew how important Xiang Rongqing was to him. What she said was very reasonable, if it was not based on her true love, how could she be willing to suffer grievances, and endure Xiang Rongqing's teasing for him?

After thinking it through, Xiang Rongcheng also felt that Shi Anran's words were not so outrageous.

Seeing Xiang Rongcheng like this, Shi Anran could no longer continue to keep a cold face. After all, she knew how unpleasant her words yesterday were.

"It's nothing. I just didn't expect that Aunt Xiang would ask Young Master Xiang to come over personally."

Hearing Shi Anran's surprised words, Xiang Rongcheng felt that this trip was worth it.

"I naturally know how much Anran misses me, but the most important thing right now is to first find uncle. Oh right, Anran, I came here late, right?"

Hearing Xiang Rongcheng's words, Shi Anran gently shook her head, "It's not too late, my father also just came back not long ago, so the two of them went to the study room."

Although Shi Anran did not exaggerate anything, but when Xiang Rongcheng heard this, his heart ached even more. He wanted to embrace the woman he spoiled in his hands, no one could bully him.
