Feng Ran ran with all her might, and when she stopped, she was already at Chun Manyuan.
She dragged her tired body and walked in step by step.
And at this moment, Qing Han blocked her, not intending to let her go.
Qing Han looked at Feng Ran with jealousy. It was this woman. If it weren't for her, she would be the one going to the Xuanyuan mansion tonight. If she had gone to the Xuanyuan mansion, she was sure she could have pleased Xuanyuan Heng completely.
Perhaps, she could then leave this wretched place.
By Xuanyuan Heng's side.
But the opportunity that originally belonged to her was snatched away by this little bitch Feng Ran. How could she be reconciled?
At this moment, Feng Ran was already very tired. She didn't want to argue with anyone anymore.
She sidestepped Qing Han, intending to rest.
Qing Han deliberately blocked her path.
"Sister Qing Han, can we discuss this tomorrow?" Feng Ran said in a low, submissive voice. She didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble.
At this moment, all she wanted was a good rest.
But Qing Han was not so accommodating. She had been waiting for Feng Ran to return.
Who would have thought that Feng Ran would stay at the Xuanyuan mansion for so long? She heard all sorts of sounds and was consumed by jealousy.
She thought she would never see Feng Ran again in this life. Finding trouble with Feng Ran would probably be impossible.
Yet, she never expected Feng Ran to appear. How could she let such a good opportunity slip away?
"Heh, tomorrow? I'm afraid there won't be time tomorrow," Qing Han said coldly.
"Feng Ran, don't be too smug. Do you think you've become superior just because you went to the Xuanyuan mansion and stayed for more than half a month? Let me tell you, in Chun Manyuan, you will always be the lowest."
"You dare to dream of climbing over my head."
"As long as I am here, you will never have a good day," Qing Han warned through gritted teeth.
Feng Ran softly hummed in response and said nothing more.
She didn't understand why Qing Han was saying these things, but judging by the situation, she seemed to be looking for trouble with her.
Feng Ran sighed helplessly. Perhaps it was because she had gone to the Xuanyuan mansion. Actually, she wished it wasn't her who went.
"Feng Ran, what do you mean by that? Do you think you're superior because you went to the Xuanyuan mansion? Do you think Xuanyuan Heng will let you return to the Xuanyuan mansion?"
"Heh, let me tell you, give up that idea. You have no chance," Qing Han said through gritted teeth. She just couldn't stand seeing Feng Ran too pleased with herself. Making Feng Ran upset would only improve her mood.
"Sister Qing Han, you don't need to worry about these things."
"Prince Xuanyuan hates me to the bone, wishing he could kill me."
"If you want to latch onto Xuanyuan Heng, then you should be pestering him now, not me."
"I advise you to stay away from me. That way, you might still have a chance to win Xuanyuan Heng's favor," Feng Ran said coldly. She had been patient with Qing Han. No matter how harsh she was or how much she sought trouble, she endured.
But now, she just wanted to rest. She was already very tired. She didn't want to say anything more to Qing Han.
Qing Han had been having a rough time lately. When she saw Feng Ran, she wanted to vent all her frustrations on Feng Ran.
"Feng Ran, do you think I'll believe what you're saying?"
"If you really didn't want to go, you could have refused."
"Heh, is there no way? If you truly don't want to go, you can find any way possible," Qing Han cursed through gritted teeth.
Hearing Qing Han's words, Feng Ran's lips curved into a slight smile.
Yes, she did have many opportunities to refuse. But Xuanyuan Heng had threatened her with Feng Jin. The opportunity to refuse, no, she didn't have it.
In this life, her life was hers for the taking by anyone. Anyone who wanted to slander her, could slander her.
Humiliation and insults were common occurrences for her. Over the years, she had grown accustomed to them.
Lowering her eyes, she said in a low voice, "Sister Qing Han, you are right. It is my fault. I shouldn't have dreamed of things that do not belong to me." Following her words, she lowered her head, humble. Then, perhaps, Qing Han would let her go.
But upon hearing Feng Ran's words, Qing Han became even angrier, almost roaring.
Feng Ran's humility and subservience were perceived as a provocation by Qing Han.
Qing Han directly slapped Feng Ran across the face and said coldly, "Feng Ran, do you think you are still the eldest daughter of the Feng family? Do you think you can still do whatever you want?"
"Hmph, let me tell you, stop being two-faced here. Do you think I can't hear the sarcasm in your words?"
Feng Ran was slightly stunned, her eyes filled with astonishment. Everything she said was true, not a single word was false.
"Heh, with that frail and weak appearance, as if you've suffered immense injustice, who are you trying to fool?"
"Hmph, I'm not a man, I won't be deceived by you."
Qing Han directly pushed Feng Ran forcefully, causing her to fall to the ground. Qing Han then taunted, "What's wrong? A light push and you're trying to frame me?"
"Feng Ran, stop acting in front of me."
Seeing Feng Ran still on the ground and a crowd gathering, Qing Han started to panic. She looked at Feng Ran on the ground and said fiercely, "Feng Ran, get up quickly. Are you trying to put on a show? Are you trying to slander me in front of so many people?"
"Are you trying to kill me?"
"Feng Ran, put away your wicked intentions. You want to scheme against me, but look at yourself, do you even have the qualification?" Qing Han said forcefully, but her trembling hand by her side betrayed her inner fear.
Feng Ran looked up and stared coldly at Qing Han, who took a step back.
"Qing Han, remember this, you have been the one looking for trouble with me."
"You were the one who stopped me."
Qing Han had never seen Feng Ran retort to anyone before. This Feng Ran she was seeing for the first time truly frightened her.
Qing Han, suppressing her fear, glared at Feng Ran, "Feng Ran, who allowed you to speak to me like this? Don't forget what kind of place this is. You don't even have the right to speak."
"Heh, after doing such filthy things, you still have the audacity to say such words. Feng Ran, you are truly despicable."
"If I were you, I would have already smashed my head against a wall and died."
"Abandoned by Xuanyuan Heng, and having caused the death of the Feng family, what face do you have to still be alive in this world?"
Words like these would follow Feng Ran for a lifetime.
Feng Ran knew that she would never be able to escape them.
Yes, Qing Han's words gave her no room to refute. These were things that had actually happened.
"Feng Ran, do you know? You stole the glory and wealth that originally belonged to me. You should compensate me."
Feng Ran looked confused: "What?"
If one wants to find fault, one can always find a reason.
