Shi Anran hesitated to believe Xiang Rongcheng. His flowery words really caused her to not dare to entrust all of his sincerity. Not to mention that she still didn't have any feelings for him, even if they were friends, Shi Anran would still have to guard against him a little.

Before Xiang Rongcheng could say anything, a ruckus suddenly occurred outside.

Shi Anran frowned, as she guessed in her heart, could it be that Shi Anyi was up to something again?

Xiang Rongcheng stood with his hands behind his back, and stared straight into his eyes, where both of them could hear the commotion outside, but did not say a word.

It was very obvious that Shi Anran's frown had already told the other party that she was to be dismissed, but Xiang Rongcheng had a faint smile on his face, as if he didn't understand what she meant.

Seeing that the noise outside was getting louder and louder, Shi Anran took the initiative to break the record and stood up from the chair. Just as she was about to push open the door to see what was going on, Xiang Rongcheng suddenly grabbed her wrist without a care.

"What are you doing?"

"Where are you going?" He seemed to turn a deaf ear to the sounds outside.

Shi Anran politely revealed a smile that could be called sweet, "Young Master Xiang, I'm going to take care of some family matters, feel free to do so."

Xiang Rongcheng did not let him off, "You haven't finished your words, how can you leave?"

"Then, what else does Young Master Xiang have to say? I am all ears."

"I want to hear your answer." Xiang Rongcheng really wanted to tear apart the mask he wore with a fake smile. In comparison, he actually liked the look of her frowning and thinking deeply. At least it was more real than it was now.

"Young Master Xiang is smarter than others, how can Young Master Xiang not know what I want to say?" Shi Anran said with a stern expression, "Moreover, my answer was given to you on the day of Old Master Xiang's birthday. Anran did not say it out loud, it was only for the sake of the dignity of the Shi Family, and also because of the reputation of the Xiang Family. "

After being stunned for a moment, Xiang Rongcheng suddenly laughed, and came closer to her: "Don't say such a thing, little Anran."

"Miss." The two of them were in a stalemate, when Yi Yue pushed open the door and saw the two of them acting intimately, she blushed and lowered her head, saying, "This servant has offended you."

Shi Anran bit her lips, seeing that there was no sign of panic on Xiang Rongcheng's face, she angrily pushed him away, forcing herself to speak calmly, "What is it?"

Without waiting for Yi Yue to speak, Xiang Rongcheng took the initiative to complain, "Why is your servant girl so rude? She even knocked on the door before entering the room, ruining this young master's good fortune."

Shi Anran was already holding her breath, when she heard Xiang Rongcheng purposely say these words to Yi Yue, he couldn't bear it anymore, and laughed coldly and teased, "Young Master Xiang is right, it's time to take care of these servant girls. They have already run off to where they are everyday, and I don't even know where they are keeping watch by Master's side.

Although these words were said to scold Yi Yue, everyone could hear that Shi Anran was scolding Xiang Rongcheng as a rapist.

The latter did not mind, and raised her eyebrows, "Anran, do not worry, if there really is such a thing, the one in front should be me."

Shi Anran was too lazy to argue with him, she turned to Yi Yue and asked: "What are you guys arguing about outside?"

"Miss, Shen Hong is dead."

Shi Anran's brows twitched, although she had expected such a thing to happen, she just did not expect Shi Anyi to take action so quickly.

Shi Anyi was in such a rush that she wasn't afraid of others daydreaming?

Very quickly, the news of the fire dying in the manor reached Master Shi's ears. However, Shen Hong was the only one who was burned to death, and no one else was even injured. This made Master Shi extremely angry, and it was not difficult to tell that this matter was definitely planned by someone.

However, Shen Hong's death could no longer be saved, so this matter, she had to uncover the truth.

Master Shi gathered all the servants and maids in the mansion with a stern expression. On the other side, he gathered all the concubines and misses as well. All the servants lowered their heads, careful not to offend the master at this critical juncture.

Since Xiang Rongcheng was an outsider, he was naturally not part of this group of people. Old Master Shi probably wanted him to stay in the study room first, since he was afraid that his family would be disgraced.

Originally, Shi Yu wanted Shi Anran to go to the study room to accompany him, but the latter was naturally unwilling.

When everyone had arrived, Shi Anyi arrived late under the escort of the third wife. Third Concubine saw that Shi Yu was still a little nervous, but on the other hand, she looked lazy and lazy.

Shi Anyi followed the third wife and stood beside Shi Anran. With an unwilling expression, he muttered, "Mother, I don't want to stand together with her. Let's switch places."

Third Concubine raised her head and glanced at Shi Yu, and unexpectedly, his gaze met with's gaze at the same time. Third Concubine's heart skipped a beat, and quickly shifted his gaze, tugging at Shi Anyi's sleeve, and said snappily, "Stop being so noisy, we're just standing here, so we can't take even a piece of your meat."

Shi Anyi was somewhat angry, her voice also became louder, "Mother, I don't want to!"

Shi Anran heard everything clearly from the side, but now was not the time to argue with Shi Anyi. Since she was being so domineering and arrogant, naturally, someone would come and take care of her.

Sure enough, Shi Yu's face darkened, his gaze swept across Shi Anyi's body like a sharp blade. The third wife saw that Shi Yu's face was growing darker and darker, and in a moment of desperation, she pushed him away, "Enough, don't be so rude, you don't know your manners. Didn't you see that the Old Master is busy with some important business? "

Shi Anyi was already complaining about it, who knew that she would get scolded. She felt wronged and tears fell from her eyes, "Mother, what are you doing? I just said a few words! "

Shi Anyi felt a burning sensation on her face, as if she had been slapped.

There were already many servants of the Shi Family around, and when they heard the words from their side, they looked over. Being scolded in front of so many people, it could be said that Shi Anyi had lost all face. Not only did she feel embarrassed, but she also started to blame her mother in her heart.

Third Madam's heart ached as well. She had scolded her own daughter, so how could it not hurt? However, her daughter was still unenlightened. She did not admit her mistake even after being scolded. She even had a face full of indignation.

Seeing the rain on Shi Yu's face, in order to prevent more anger from reaching Shi Anyi, the Third Concubine had to strike first to gain the upper hand.

"You've had enough, yet you still dare to talk back?" Third Concubine raised her voice, this time everyone looked over, Third Concubine was not done, and scolded, "You unruly girl! You broke the rules in front of your sister, yet you don't know your crimes even if you offend her? Kneel down and apologize to your sister and father! "

Third Concubine deliberately emphasized the words "father", in order to remind Shi Anyi of something.

Shi Anyi glanced at the servants standing around the room. If this was any ordinary day, she would have knelt if she knew she was wrong, but now … She couldn't afford to lose this guy.

Third Concubine was angry and anxious, "Girl, you still don't know how to repent!"

Master Shi's expression became more and more unsightly as he looked at Shi Anyi and the Third Madam, and berated them, "Have you caused enough trouble? You're truly out of order. To force yourself to do such a thing in front of so many servants, I think my Shi Family is too young to accommodate you two."

The Third Madam was just putting on an act, and upon hearing Shi Yu's words, she kneeled down at his feet and cried.

"Old master, old master, I was wrong. I truly know my wrongs. It was this humble one who didn't discipline my daughter well. It was all my fault …"
