Hongyi hesitated for a moment, then took out a medicine bottle from her embrace and shoved it directly into Feng Ran's hand. She coughed lightly, a little embarrassed, and said, "This, for you."
Feng Ran looked at the medicine bottle forcibly thrust into her hand, recalling that Hongyi had insisted on giving it to her. At this moment, she was utterly bewildered.
"I don't need it."
Feng Ran returned the medicine bottle to Hongyi without any hesitation.
She eyed Hongyi with caution.
Hongyi's past actions and words towards her echoed in her mind. Now, with this gesture, Feng Ran suspected she might be plotting against her.
She watched Hongyi warily, even contemplating how to get rid of the person in front of her.
"Feng Ran, remember, I gave you this, and you refused it," Hongyi said fiercely.
She had assumed Feng Ran would definitely accept what she offered. That way, even if she plotted against Feng Ran, Feng Ran wouldn't speak out.
She harbored displeasure and resentment towards Feng Ran in her heart.
However, she never imagined that one day she would have to bow her head and apologize to Feng Ran.
"Feng Ran, regarding Du Rong, I was indeed wrong..." Hongyi seemed to recall something and immediately said, "But Feng Ran, that was also due to your lack of capability. If you had served Du Rong well, such a thing wouldn't have happened."
"Feng Ran, remember, some things can be said, and some things cannot be spoken even on your deathbed."
"You are a smart person, you should understand this very clearly."
After speaking, Hongyi left directly, without waiting for Feng Ran's reply.
...
Bei Chenye appeared again. He looked at Sheng Yi standing before him and threw the item in his hand directly onto Sheng Yi's table. "This is something left behind by the person who framed Feng Ran. It was left carelessly."
"Someone with such a malicious and venomous mind, Sheng Yi, do you think they are suitable to stay in Chun Manyuan?"
"Although Chun Manyuan is a place of pleasure, it's not a place that can tolerate any kind of viperous person."
Sheng Yi nodded and said coldly, "I will handle this matter properly."
Suddenly, Bei Chenye glanced at Sheng Yi and said coldly, "You should know how to handle this matter."
"Sheng Yi, helping you this time is considered repaying your favor."
Bei Chenye: "Sheng Yi, you must ensure Feng Ran is safe."
"If something happens to Feng Ran, then it's uncertain what will happen to Chun Manyuan."
"Yes, I naturally know how to handle it."
Bei Chenye said coldly, "Is that so?"
"Sheng Yi, if you could truly handle it, things wouldn't have escalated to this point."
"Some people, if you cannot bring yourself to act, I can do it for you."
"After all, I am second to none when it comes to methods that make people wish they were dead."
Sheng Yi sighed softly. Originally, she thought that although Huang Qianqian hadn't handled this matter well, she hadn't caused any major mistakes, and a small punishment would suffice.
However, now that Bei Chenye was involved in this matter, she suspected it couldn't be resolved so simply.
...
Huang Qianqian was brought by Hongyi.
Along the way, Hongyi pushed her along, her gaze seeming as if she wanted to kill her.
Huang Qianqian didn't know what had happened.
Hongyi had treated her reasonably well before, after all, she had given Hongyi so many benefits. Yet, now, when she wanted to speak to Hongyi and find out where she was being taken, Hongyi didn't even acknowledge her.
Huang Qianqian was directly pushed inside by Hongyi.
"Sheng Yi," Huang Qianqian called out softly, turning around and looking everywhere.
"Bei Chenye, I have brought the person. How you deal with her is up to you," Sheng Yi said, then left directly.
Bei Chenye said coldly, "Master Yang's people, alive, are a waste. Isn't it better to just kill them?"
Sheng Yi paused but didn't turn back to say a word.
Bei Chenye scoffed, seemingly wanting to see Sheng Yi's reaction. To his surprise, she said nothing and left.
Sheng Yi had truly changed.
Huang Qianqian was terrified. Bei Chenye walked forward step by step, the dagger almost at her neck, ready to strike.
"Wait a moment." Just as Huang Qianqian thought she was going to die, a faint voice sounded.
"Feng Ran, you haven't recovered yet, why have you come to such an inauspicious place? Hurry back and rest." Sheng Yi looked at Feng Ran's pale face and the slight discomfort in her leg. She should be resting now; how could she appear here?
"Feng Ran." Upon seeing Feng Ran, Huang Qianqian felt as if she had seen a lifesaver, not thinking much of it.
She walked in front of Feng Ran and grabbed her hand.
"Feng Ran, please, please, can you save me?"
"Feng Ran, he said, because you were injured, he wants to kill me."
"But Feng Ran, you are fine now, please spare me, okay?"
"Feng Ran, you're not hurt at all, so why do you want me to pay with my life?"
Sheng Yi stood on the side, her brow furrowed. Without thinking, she grabbed Huang Qianqian's hand and flung it away.
Sheng Yi looked at Huang Qianqian with disgust and disdain.
Hah, this person, doesn't she know what she has done? How can she say such things?
She truly deserved to die.
It seemed the Prince's decision was correct.
"Feng Ran, go back and recuperate. This kind of person deserves to die. It's not worth it to hurt yourself for someone like this." She then looked coldly at Huang Qianqian and said, "If you hadn't intended to kill Feng Ran, you wouldn't have ended up in such a situation. Yet now you have the nerve to say such things; you are truly despicable."
Huang Qianqian glared fiercely at Sheng Yi, her hands clenched tightly. But now, she could only look at Feng Ran and plead, "Feng Ran, we are good sisters, I believe you won't stand by and watch me die."
Feng Ran did not look at Huang Qianqian. She walked to Bei Chenye and looked directly at him. "Can this person be dealt with by my own hand?"
Bei Chenye looked at Feng Ran in surprise, seemingly not expecting to hear such words.
Before Bei Chenye could react, Feng Ran's hand fell onto her hairpin and directly pierced Huang Qianqian's body.
She pulled it out and was about to stab again when Huang Qianqian dodged. She tightly grasped Feng Ran's hand and shouted accusingly, "Feng Ran, are you crazy?"
"You slut, what right do you have to lay your hands on me?"
"Get lost."
Feng Ran laughed, looking at Huang Qianqian with disdain. "Hah, still so stubborn even now. Don't forget, your life is in my hands right now."
As Feng Ran's hairpin was about to fall again, someone stopped her. However, it was not Huang Qianqian who stopped her, but Bei Chenye.
