The sudden warm touch on her hand brought back Yun Xi's thoughts that had been diverging since she ran away from home.

The old lady held her slightly cold hand with one hand and patted her comfortingly with the other hand.

"You have been wronged, don't be afraid, grandma will make the decision for you."

No! She is not afraid, she is not aggrieved.

But she is the one who calls the shots, can she apply for compensation for mental damages?

When Liu Ruyan saw that everyone was sitting and she was the only one standing, an unspeakable feeling of embarrassment and humiliation filled her whole body.

The hands hidden under the wide cuffs tightened tighter and tighter, and the nails penetrated into the flesh without realizing it.

It shouldn't be like this...

Liu Ruyan thought that Qin Mufeng would blame her, and that the Qin family would not like her or even recognize her identity, but in the end she decided to give it a try.

One month was too long, and waiting meant variables. If she wanted to keep the initiative firmly in her own hands, she could only risk her life and survive.

After returning home that day, she stole the family's money and came to Lijing alone.

With the jade pendant Qin Mufeng gave her, she successfully entered the Anlehou Mansion.

To her surprise, after hearing her story, the noble Marquis's wife not only did not embarrass her, but instead treated her as a guest of the Marquis's residence.

He even promised to let Qin Mufeng marry him as his wife, a wife! Not a concubine.

The plan went as smoothly as she dared not imagine. She was as happy as a cloud. She settled down in the Hou Mansion with peace of mind and waited for Qin Mufeng to come back and marry her in a month.

What I thought was a sure thing was now disrupted because they returned home early...

Liu Ruyan felt so guilty that she could only pretend to be pitiful and helpless, looking at Qin Mufeng for help, hoping that he could say something to help her.

Little did he know that Qin Mufeng was extremely angry right now. It was a good thing that his grandmother was fine today. If he was angry because of her, then he would not be able to escape the blame even if he died...

At this time, he could only turn a blind eye to her plea for help.

Qin Mufeng's brain kept spinning, trying to find a feasible way to minimize the harm to his grandmother.

He knew that the calmer his grandmother appeared on her face, the angrier she became about this matter.

He couldn't figure it out. He had never revealed his identity in front of Liu Ruyan, so it was impossible for her to know his identity.

Besides, he had talked to her once before getting married. Since she had agreed at that time, there was no reason to go back on her word.

Is she the one on the other end?

If so, then it makes sense...

Qin Mufeng gave his nominal mother a cold look and secretly clenched his fists.

Grandma is right, blindly tolerating will only lead to the other party getting worse.

"Feng'er, you are too careless and can lose such an important thing. Let Yun Yatou keep it for you from now on."

Liu Ruyan's face instantly lost all color. She knew exactly what the old lady's words meant.

No, this move is a desperate move for her. If it fails...

She could no longer bear the consequences.

"You are not such an old lady. This jade pendant belongs to me. It is a promise given to me by the eldest young master."

Qin Mufeng's sword-like eyes swept across Liu Ruyan coldly, frightening people directly.

Yun Xi could see that this jade pendant was a hot potato.

"Grandma, it's better to return such an important thing to Qin. Lang should keep it for himself. I've lost it all day."

"Grandma asked you to keep it, just keep it."

Yun Xi was shocked. What did this scumbag want to do? How could he die if he didn't drag him into trouble? Ah?!

When Liu Ruyan heard this, she immediately became anxious: "Young Master, you can't... You ruined my innocence, you can't do this to me!"

She roared and accused her heart-breakingly, but it made the Marquis's wife Jiang Ping so happy that she wanted to see a good show.

She took a peek at the old lady who was so angry that her chest was heaving violently, and she clapped her hands crazily in her heart.

As expected of the person she fell in love with, he did a great job!

Come on, keep up the good work, and make that old immortal angry to death again.

"Mother!"

"grandmother!"

Anlehou and Qin Mufeng spoke out at the same time, and Liu Ruyan regained some sense after being so frightened.

She...seems...self-defeating.

Liu Ruyan sat on the ground exhausted, staring at the man who was busy because of the old lady, unable to say a word.

Jiang Ping walked down from her seat and gently helped her up from the ground.

"Poor child, you go back first. Don't worry, the Marquis Mansion is a reasonable place."

Liu Ruyan looked at her with bright eyes and held her hand tightly, as if grasping the last straw.

"Madam, you must help me."

Jiang Ping looked at her with pretense of affection, and patted the back of her hand comfortingly.

"Don't think too much, take care of yourself and rest early."

Yun Xi, who knew nothing about this, was skillfully doing acupuncture to clear the Qi pulse of the old lady.

Her face was solemn as never before.

Qin Mufeng felt extremely guilty and blamed himself to death. His thin lips pressed tightly into a downward curve.

Jiang Ping!

He swore that if something happened to his grandmother this time, he would not forgive himself, let alone let her go.

"Yunxi, are you sure? Your grandmother..."

The old Marquis looked a little anxious and couldn't help but ask, but he was also afraid of hearing some bad news. His resolute face was full of tangles.

"Oh, sir, don't worry, you must believe in Yun Xi's medical skills, and you will be able to save your mother." Jiang Ping comforted Liu Ruyan in a few words, and then rushed over to pretend to be her good daughter-in-law.

Yun Xi, who was rescuing people, couldn't help but glance at the Marquis' wife from the corner of his eye.

Ha! What an old white lotus that grew up with tea water and dug a hole in front of her.

If I don't accept the call well, I'll be sorry for your passionate performance.

"Qin Mufeng, help me carry my grandmother to the bed and lay her down."

"good."

Qin Mufeng moved lightly and quickly, put his grandmother on the couch and quickly moved out of the way.

"There are too many people, everyone should get out."

The old Marquis was a little worried and refused to move.

Jiang Ping acted like a good wife and advised softly: "Master, we can't help here. It's better to listen to Yun Xi and leave first, so that she can devote herself to treating her mother."

"..."

There are two things that Yun Xi hates the most, one is Biluochun, and the other is white lotus.

It's so good that Jiang Ping has both.

Her hand was itchy. If the timing wasn't right, she would have given her a few injections and fed her a specially made truth pill.

Seeing that everyone was gone, Qin Mufeng glanced hesitantly at the sweating woman.

His heart suddenly felt a little calmer. I don't know since when, he actually trusted her in everything he did, and even he himself didn't realize it.

He turned around and went out, closed the door, and stood guard outside the door without daring to go far.

When Yun Xi saw that everyone had gone out, she took off the old lady's clothes and continued to give her acupuncture treatment.
