Feng Ran did not intend to rest initially, but Aunt Sheng kept persuading her, and finally, she agreed.
A commotion was heard from outside. As Feng Ran was about to get up to close the window, the door was kicked open from the outside.
The disturbance was so great that even the chairs nearby were knocked over.
Feng Ran looked up and saw Huang Qianqian. Huang Qianqian’s right cheek was scarred from burns, making her look exceptionally ferocious. At this moment, Huang Qianqian glared at Feng Ran, her bloodthirsty gaze almost as if she wanted to kill Feng Ran.
Feng Ran had no idea what had happened to Huang Qianqian.
Most importantly, she had not seen Huang Qianqian since she was kicked out by Bei Chenye that day.
"Feng Ran, you can still sit here so calmly, hah, it's truly laughable."
"Who are you putting on that innocent act for?"
"Feng Ran, do you see? My face, the scar on my face, does it look terrifying?" Huang Qianqian pointed angrily at her face, her eyes filled with a horrifying light, saying, "This is all your fault."
She rushed directly in front of Feng Ran, thrusting the horrifying scar directly before Feng Ran's eyes.
Fortunately, Aunt Sheng, who rushed over, managed to restrain Huang Qianqian, preventing her from stabbing Feng Ran with a dagger.
"Feng Ran, you deserve to die, do you know that?"
"You still have your face, you're still alive, all your suffering is built upon my suffering."
"Huang Qianqian, get out immediately. This is not a place for you to be."
Facing Aunt Sheng's threat, Huang Qianqian's heart grew even more indignant. Biting her lip, she gritted her teeth and said, "Aunt Sheng, how much has Feng Ran paid you to speak so highly of her?"
Huang Qianqian knew that her days at Chun Manyuan were likely numbered. Her face was ruined, and she could no longer be pampered and cherished as she was before.
"Aunt Sheng, we are all at Chun Manyuan, and you brought us all up. Why are you treating Feng Ran so excessively well?"
"Aunt Sheng, with the way you are acting, many of us have had much to say. We just haven't voiced it yet."
Just as Aunt Sheng was about to speak up for Feng Ran again, Feng Ran’s gaze fell upon Aunt Sheng. She shook her head, gesturing with her eyes, signaling Aunt Sheng not to speak for her.
Too many people had been implicated because of her. She did not want Aunt Sheng to be implicated because of her as well.
Aunt Sheng had already done enough for her.
How could Aunt Sheng not understand Feng Ran's intentions? However, watching Feng Ran being bullied by these people, her expression grew increasingly grim.
But she couldn't ignore Feng Ran's pleading eyes.
In the end, Aunt Sheng refrained from speaking, choosing to respect Feng Ran's wishes.
She believed that Feng Ran could handle this matter herself.
Feng Ran glanced at Huang Qianqian and walked directly towards the exit, not even sparing Huang Qianqian a glance.
Feng Ran merely looked around and said coldly, "Your prince sent you to protect me, not to watch a show. Now that someone is trying to attack me, shouldn't you be stepping out?"
"If I get hurt, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape the blame."
"Feng Ran," Huang Qianqian chased after her, grabbing Feng Ran's hand, "Feng Ran, are you crazy? How could you say something like that?"
"You really think too highly of yourself."
Feng Ran, who was about to leave, found her path blocked by Huang Qianqian. She had no choice but to stop.
Feng Ran's gaze fell on Huang Qianqian, and she said coldly, "What is it? Do you have anything else to say?"
"Feng Ran, shouldn't you apologize to me? You ruined my face, you ruined my life."
Hearing Huang Qianqian's words, Feng Ran's mood turned exceptionally bad. She said coldly, "Huang Qianqian, this is my private room. If you want it, I'll give it to you."
Yes, she could live anywhere.
If she really liked it, she could have it.
Upon hearing this, Huang Qianqian's expression instantly turned extremely displeased.
She was not here for this. She wanted to make things difficult for Feng Ran and make her pay the price.
However, Huang Qianqian was now determined to lay hands on Feng Ran.
Today, she was here to cause trouble for Feng Ran. She thought things would go smoothly, but she never expected that from the very beginning, things would be so difficult.
In the end, it was the person Xuan Yuanheng had stationed by Feng Ran's side who stepped out and resolved the situation.
Feng Ran's lips curled into a smile, a self-mocking laugh.
She had initially thought these people were a burden, but now it seemed they were not entirely useless.
Huang Qianqian was about to turn and leave, but Aunt Sheng was unwilling.
She stopped Huang Qianqian and said coldly, "The fault lies entirely with you in this matter, Huang Qianqian. You don't honestly think you can just leave now, do you?"
Huang Qianqian's expression shifted slightly, but after considering it, she realized that if she wanted to continue staying at Chun Manyuan, she had to humble herself and obey.
Her face turned pale. "Aunt Sheng, I will apologize to Feng Ran. After all, I misunderstood Feng Ran."
Aunt Sheng remained silent.
Huang Qianqian's apology was made, but she knew it was not voluntary. However, with everyone watching, Huang Qianqian's apology was a good thing for Feng Ran.
At least it would let those people know that Feng Ran was not someone to be trifled with easily.
Aunt Sheng's previously grim expression softened, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
Huang Qianqian knew she had gambled correctly this time. She was even more convinced that if she hadn't said those words, Aunt Sheng would have kicked her out. And the people sent by Xuan Yuanheng would surely have taken action against her.
Now, she had no other option.
She could only apologize to Feng Ran.
Huang Qianqian had resigned herself to her fate. With a *thump*, she knelt directly, "Feng Ran, I'm sorry, please forgive me."
"It was me, it was me, it was all my infatuation that led me to do such things."
She thought that after suffering such great hardship, when she sought trouble from Feng Ran, everyone would side with her.
Thinking back, no matter how she bullied Feng Ran before, Feng Ran never objected or said anything. So, she thought it would be the same this time.
And Aunt Sheng, she had deliberately acted when she found out Aunt Sheng was not at Chun Manyuan, which was why she dared to make a move.
But now? Everything had changed.
Aunt Sheng had appeared, and Feng Ran was no longer as easy to bully as before. She wouldn't obediently listen anymore.
