Chapter 27: Open Declaration

  Yun Qianyue looked at the ordinary horse carriage and thought that this Seventh Prince was indeed very low-key.

  Rong Jing's gaze swept across Yun Shangyue's face for a moment, but he didn't see anything unusual. He subtly shifted his line of sight and continued walking forward with a gentle pace, but the hand holding Yun Shangyue's tightened slightly.

  "Look at how low-key others are, and then look at you, as if you're afraid the old emperor doesn't know how rich you are." Yun Shangyue hadn't seen the Seventh Prince's carriage, thinking it was probably inside, so she withdrew her gaze and scolded Rong Jing. The Seventh Prince rode in a humble horse-drawn carriage that wasn't even comparable to an ordinary official's family carriage, yet he still managed to gain the old emperor's favor by traveling through the streets like this.

  "If I hadn't kept it from him that I had money, our Rong Wang Fu would have ceased to exist long ago, given my illness these past years." said Rong Jing.

  Yun Shallow Moon's heart and soul suddenly woke up, and she immediately understood Rong Jing's intention. Now the national treasury is empty, and the Rong Wang Fu is the richest in the world, it can be said that they are rich enough to rival a country. The old emperor wants the wealth of the Rong Wang Fu, probably because Rong Jing hid his money too well, letting the old emperor see but not touch, so he has been ill for many years, and the Rong Wang Fu has not been swallowed by the old emperor yet. She snorted, discontentedly muttering: "You are truly cunning like a fox!"

  "If I lose my life, that's fine, but if I lose my money, what would I use to marry you?" Rong Jing said casually.

  Yun ponders if she loves money that much. If there's no money, then there's no marriage? As they approach the gate, she stops talking.

  Rong Jing also fell silent.

  The two arrived at the gate, and Yongfu hurried over to pay his respects. "Your humble servant greets the young master! Your humble servant greets Miss Shallow Moon!"

  Rong Jing nodded at Rong Fu and looked towards the seventh prince's carriage, saying in a warm voice: "So the seventh prince hasn't left yet!"

  "Tian Yi was about to leave, but saw that Jing Shizi's guards were also preparing the carriage to go to De Qin Wang Fu. Tian Yi thought that he hadn't visited De Qin old master after returning, so he waited for a moment and planned to go with Jing Shizi together. Tian Yi made an impulsive decision, not knowing if Jing Shizi was willing to travel together?" The curtain of the carriage had not been lifted, but Tian Yi's voice came from inside."

  Yun Qianyue listened to this voice, still as calm and gentle as that day, but behind such a tone, there seemed to be a hint of melancholy, her heart skipped a beat.

  "Excellent!" Rong Jing smiled faintly, "Seventh Prince, please!"

  "Inviting Jing Shizi!" The curtain still hadn't been lifted, and Ye Tianyi seemed to smile faintly as well.

  Rong Jing stopped talking and pulled Yun Qian Yue to the front of the car. Xuan Ge immediately lifted the curtain, he slightly leaned forward and got on the car.

  Yun's heart skipped a beat as she stepped onto the bus with Rong Jing.

  The curtain was about to fall when a soft cry suddenly came from inside the mansion, "Seventh Prince!"

  Yun Shallow Moon's movement of putting down the curtain paused, and she turned her head to look inside the mansion.

  A woman suddenly rushed out of the mansion, her petite figure and delicate features, although not as stunning as those of Rong Ling or Han Xiang, were still elegant and refined. She wore a jade-green brocade skirt with a hundred folds, which formed an arc shape as she ran quickly, her feet making soft crunching sounds on the ground. The tinkling of her hairpin, wrist bangles, and ankle chain created a melodious sound, like the gentle chiming of a bell. As she approached from afar, her skirt seemed to unfurl like the tender shoots of a willow tree by a green lake in early spring, presenting a fresh and vibrant scene before one's eyes.

  Yun Qian Yue vaguely remembered seeing the woman once before, it was her first time coming to Rong Wang Fu, she was Miss of Rong Wang Fu. She turned her head towards Rong Jing.

  Rong Jing's warm voice said: "It's the fifth young lady of my fourth uncle's family!"

  Yun Qian Yue nodded slightly, thinking to herself: "It seems that Fifth Miss and Seventh Prince know each other?"

  "Seventh Prince! Wait..." The Fifth Miss had apparently rushed over in a hurry, panting and out of breath as she arrived at the gate. When she saw Rong Jing's carriage, her small face turned pale with fright, her footsteps halted, and she was speechless.

  Yun Shallow Moon glanced at Rong Wangfu's cat, thinking that even mice were afraid of him!

  "What's wrong, Fifth Sister?" Rong Jing asked with a smile.

  Miss Wu hastily tidied up her skirt, took a step forward in trepidation, and saluted Lord Rong's carriage with a look of fear, saying softly: "Lingyan has seen the young master! May the young master be blessed!"

  "Five younger sisters, no need for courtesy!" Rong Jing smiled lightly.

  Rong Ling stood up straight, hanging her head and not daring to look at Rong Jing.

  "Does Fifth Sister know Seventh Prince?" Rong Jing asked again with a smile.

  Rong Ling nodded slightly, then shook her head violently, "No... don't know..."

  Rong Jing smiled lightly and looked at Rong Lingyun, saying in a warm voice: "The Seventh Prince hasn't left yet, Fifth Sister, if you have anything to do, go now! If it's any later, the Seventh Prince will be going with me to the Duke of De's estate!"

  Rong Ling stood still with her head hung low, unsure whether she was panting from running or frightened by Rong Jing. Her small face turned red and white alternately, looking flustered and terrified, like a startled bird.

  Yun Qian Yue couldn't bear to look at him anymore, and dropped the curtain to block out Rong Jing's figure. She glared at him and said in a low voice, "How have you been bullying people in the Rong Wang Fu all this time? Look at how scared you've made that little maid! When she sees you, she doesn't even dare to breathe."

  Rong Jing stretched out his hand to hold Yun Shangyue's slender waist, and whispered in her ear with a low laugh: "If you want to know how I acted tyrannically in the Rong Wangfu, wouldn't you know if you married me?"

  "You go to the old emperor tomorrow to ask for his decree, as long as you can get the decree, I will marry you. How about that?" Yun Shangyue used her elbow to nudge Rong Jing and smiled at him.

  "Really?" Rong Jing raised an eyebrow.

  "You're really a big-headed ghost! Getting married at such a young age, you'll be exhausted to death!" Yun Shangyue pushed open Rong Jing and cursed with a smile, unable to bear her curiosity, she hooked up the curtain with one hand and peeked outside through a small gap.

  Rong Jing smiled, but his smile was somewhat faint and pale. He asked in a low voice, "At what age is considered old?"

  "The old emperor is dead, and I've grown older." Yun Qianyu said without turning her head.

  "Are you forcing me to rebel against the king?" Gong Jing raised an eyebrow.

  "You're so eager?" Yun Shangyue turned back and gave Rong Jing a cold glance. Usurp the throne? He really dared to say that! If the old emperor heard about it, he would be the one to get rid of him first.

  Rong Jing lowered his head and muttered a sigh, "Hmmm! It's getting a bit impatient!"

  Yun Qian didn't seem to have heard, and through the gap in the curtains, she looked at Rong Lingyan, seeing that she was still hanging her head motionless, as if frozen in place. If not for the handkerchief in her hand being twisted into a knot, Yun Qian would have thought she was a wooden puppet.

  "What did this young lady want with Tian Yi?" The curtains of Ye Tianyi's carriage remained closed as he asked aloud.

  Rong Ling's body trembled, and she slowly raised her head. When she saw that Rong Jing's carriage had its curtains tightly closed, her frightened expression seemed to improve slightly. She turned towards the Seventh Prince's carriage, and the expression on her small face was a mix of joy and fear, as if she was hesitant. Her lips were tightly pursed, looking like she wanted to move forward but didn't dare to.

  Yun Qian Yue looked at Rong Ling Yan's appearance, thinking that this was another lovesick person's play! This little girl's expression, anyone could see that she liked the Seventh Prince. Unfortunately, she didn't seem to have Wen Ruoyan's boldness towards Rong Feng.

  "If nothing's wrong, then I'll leave!" Tian Yi said again after waiting for half a moment with no one responding.

  "There is, the Seventh Prince and so on..." Rong Lingyan was startled, mustered up her courage, and quickly walked to Ye Tianyi's carriage. Looking at his tightly closed curtains, her mustered-up courage somewhat retreated, and she hesitated again for a moment before opening her mouth in a tiny voice like a mosquito, "This humble woman is Rong Lingyan, the fifth sister of the Rong Wangfu... has always... admired the Seventh Prince... upon learning that the Seventh Prince had returned to the capital, was overjoyed..."

  Yun Qianyue thought that the Seventh Prince didn't know Rong Lingyan, and she looked at Rong Lingyan, thinking that the ancient etiquette was very strict for everyone's daughters, and this kind of unrefined behavior was an outlier, only to be ridiculed. Rong Lingyan had the courage to stop the Seventh Prince from expressing his admiration and love, it was clear that she was already deeply infatuated, which led her to make such a bold move. Even if she was a bit timid, it was still endearing.

  "It turned out to be the fifth young lady of Rong Wang Fu, nice to meet you!" Ye Tianyi's voice didn't reveal any difference, and he still hadn't lifted the curtain.

  Rong Ling's small face turned red, and under the cover of her emerald green dress, she was like a blooming pink flower. Her voice was even softer and more gentle, "In two days, it will be the Qixi Festival, Rong Ling wants to invite the Seventh Prince to celebrate together, I wonder..."

  The words behind her were spoken in a low voice and couldn't be heard, but the meaning was clear. Her small face had already turned red to the roots of her ears.

  Yun Pian Yue's heart skipped a beat, if just now she was still hesitantly expressing her admiration, then this time she was bold! She curiously looked towards the Seventh Prince's carriage with its tightly closed curtains, wondering if he would agree. After all, such good fortune wasn't available to everyone, and it was right in front of the Rong Wang Fu's gate, and in front of Rong Jing's face.

  Rong Lingyan brazenly blocked the carriage of the Seventh Prince at the entrance of the Rong Wangfu, which was not in line with etiquette, but also understandable. If the Seventh Prince agreed, it would be tantamount to accepting her affectionate heart. Later, if he didn't like Rong Lingyan and wanted to get rid of her, she was a young lady of the Rong Wangfu, and it would be embarrassing for him to do so. If he refused, it would also be seen as indirectly slapping Rong Jing in the face, after all, Rong Jing was now the heir of the Rong Wangfu, managing the entire household, and his sisters' etiquette depended on his guidance. Rong Lingyan's behavior was already not in line with etiquette, if she were to be rejected again, it would mean that the Rong Wangfu had lost face, which would also mean that Rong Jing had lost face.

  Rong Ling's words fell, and she stared tensely at her toes, waiting for the Seventh Prince to respond, her handkerchief twisted into a ball.

  The night sky was quiet and there were no sounds coming from the horse carriage.

  Yun Shallow Moon gazed at Rong Jing with a tilted head, who was leaning against the carriage wall, her eyebrows and eyes calm and serene, exuding an air of leisure. She slightly furrowed her brow, thinking that if Rong Lingyue wasn't too infatuated, she must have been overly protected, unaware of the many twists and turns in this small matter. Her actions were not wrong, but putting someone in a difficult position was; shouldn't such things be said in private?

  After a long silence, Ye Tianyu suddenly spoke up, "I wonder what Miss Shangyue's intentions are?"

  The cloud is shallow and the moon is surprised, she doesn't dare to believe it and looks at the seventh prince's carriage. Is he asking her?

  Rong Lingyue waited for half a moment, seemingly not expecting the Seventh Prince to say such a thing. She also turned her head to look at Rong Jing's carriage. Her originally rosy face turned somewhat pale again.

  "Tian Yi had just heard that the steward of Rong Wang Fu had paid his respects to Shallow Moon, so he must be in Jing Shi Zi's carriage now. Tian Yi asked boldly, if it were him instead of Shallow Moon, how would she decide? Night Tian Yi asked again slowly."

  Yun Qianyue finally heard clearly, and indeed Ye Tianyi was talking to her. She had just thought that Rong Lingyan had put Ye Tianyi in a difficult situation, but unexpectedly, Ye Tianyi threw this difficult situation back at her. She felt inexplicably bewildered, not knowing how she got herself entangled. She turned around to look at Rong Jing.

  Rong Jing still had a calm and gentle appearance, seeing her look over, she glanced at her lightly and didn't say anything.

  "Huh? Did Asagiri-san fall asleep in Kageseto's car?" Yoru asked with a smile.

  Her eyes were shallow, her eyebrows furrowed, and the corners of her mouth twitched, trying to force out a smile but couldn't. She wanted to speak up, but didn't know what to say, and was momentarily at a loss for words.

  "Miss Wu, why don't you go ask Miss Shallow Moon yourself? Her response will be my response to you." Ye Tianyi said to Rong Lingyan. His tone was softer, and anyone who heard it could sense that he seemed to be smiling. Because of this tone, suddenly the warm spring breeze blew, and flowers bloomed.

  Yun Shallow Moon was completely stunned by the words! She had some doubts about whether the person who gave her Yang Ye's book was really the Seventh Prince. If it was indeed the Seventh Prince, then using such a roundabout method to give Yang Ye the book would be out of fear that others would know about their close relationship. But now, these words were openly telling others that she and he had a very good relationship. So good that even something like this could be left up to her!

  Rong Lingyun looked at Rong Jing's carriage and her face immediately turned pale.

  For a moment, the entrance of Rong Wang Fu was quiet and silent. Even Gongfu, who had been the steward of Rong Wang Fu for decades and thought he had seen it all, had never seen such an astonishing situation. The young lady from the mansion intercepted the Seventh Prince at the gate, disregarding etiquette, to confess her feelings, and the Seventh Prince actually let Shallow Moon Miss decide...

  "Miss Wu! I suppose Miss Shallow Moon is indeed asleep. Why don't you go call her?" Ye Tianyi said with a smile.

  Rong Lingyun stared at Rong Jing's carriage, her body standing still and unmoving, unsure whether she was frightened or intimidated by Rong Jing. Her small face turned red and white again, the handkerchief in her hand had been twisted beyond recognition.

  "Wu Mei Mei, since Seventh Prince asked you to wake her up, then come and wake her up!" Rong Jing suddenly spoke out.

  Yun Shallow Moon suddenly glared at Rong Jing, what did he mean?

  Rong Jing smiled faintly and raised an eyebrow, implying "you heard that right!"

  Yun Shallow Moon's face was slightly darkened.

  Lingyun suddenly stepped forward and walked over to the carriage, came to the front of the vehicle, slightly bowed, her tone no longer showing the shyness and caution she had when speaking to the Seventh Prince earlier, nor was it hesitant. She spoke softly but clearly, "Lingyun greets Miss Shangyue, Lingyun would like to invite the Seventh Prince to celebrate the Qixi Festival together, the Seventh Prince asked me to ask for your opinion, Miss Shangyue, what do you think?"

  Yun Qian Yue suddenly became enraged and abruptly lifted the curtain to glare at Rong Ling Yan, thinking that she actually dared to come ask her!

  Is this woman really naive or truly in love with Ye Tianyi? Or is she listening to Rong Jing's words? Is she so naive as to think that a single clever move can tie down the man she loves? Does Ye Tianyi love her to the point of losing himself? Does he tell her what to do and she does it? Or is she listening to Rong Jing, doing whatever Rong Jing tells her to do?

  Rong Lingyan seemed to have not expected the curtain to be suddenly lifted, she only felt a chill suddenly hit her face, she involuntarily took a step back, raised her eyes, and met Yun Shangyue's thin, angry face, her heart skipped a beat.

  "Is she the Fifth Miss of Rong Wang Fu?" Yun Qianyue looked at Rong Lingyan coldly.

  If she had smiled at the woman's bold and foolish emotions before, then now she felt that such a stupid woman who couldn't see the situation clearly and didn't have half a backbone was not worth her sympathy even if she ended up in some kind of predicament. A woman doesn't fear having no one to love her, but fears not loving herself! In her opinion, this woman right now is not self-loving, or perhaps truly stupid, and still doesn't know when to advance or retreat! Not only does she not know when to advance or retreat, but also forces others into a difficult position by being stubborn! And the person she's forcing into a difficult position right now is still her!

  "It's... I'm Rong Lingyan, Miss Yunshang you..." Rong Lingyan was stared at by Yun Shangyue's cold gaze, and the courage she had mustered up collapsed once again. She felt a chill in her heart, and her tone became timid once more. But it was different from the shyness and timidity she had shown when facing the Seventh Prince earlier, this time it was genuine fear that made her tremble.

  "Is it the Seventh Prince who told you to ask me, so you came to ask me? Or is it Jing Shizi who told you to ask me, that's why you're asking me?" Yun Shangyue spoke in a cold and clear voice. Don't think she's a soft persimmon easy to bully, anyone wants to come and bully her. Does her face have the words "I'm easy to bully, everyone come and bully me!" written on it?

  "I..." Rong Lingyan took another step back, her face slightly pale.

  "Hmm?" Yun Shangyue narrowed her eyes, she was about to see who had given her the courage! Was it Ye Tianyi or Rong Jing.

  Rong Ling's lips were tightly pursed, her eyes brimming with tears, and her face was slightly red as she hung her head, on the verge of bursting into tears.

  "As long as you tell me who made you make this decision, I'll give you my answer. Maybe then you'll get what's coming to you!" Yun Qiu Yue looked at Rong Ling Yan with an expression still icy calm. Wasn't she trying to put her on the spot? Now it was time for her to taste the feeling of being put on the spot herself.

  Rong Ling's eyes welled up with tears as she shook her head.

  "Dare you not say?" Yun Shallow Moon raised an eyebrow.

  Rong Lingyan just shook her head and didn't speak, tears bursting out of her eyes and finally rolling down, but she still wanted to hold back desperately, looking like a bullied little girl, pitiful beyond words.

  Yun Qian Yue looked at her and suddenly smiled, her cold tone turning gentle. "Do you know what you're doing?"

  Rong Ling's eyes fell silent tears, without a sound.

  "Should I kindly remind you what you're doing?" Yun Shangyue smiled as she looked at her.

  Rong Lingyan still didn't make a sound.

  "You're being unreasonable, you don't know when to advance or retreat, you don't know what's deep or shallow, you're ignorant and foolish." Yun Qian looked at her with cold eyes, seeing how weak and pitiful she looked, but without a hint of sympathy or mercy. Although there was a smile on her face, it didn't reach her eyes. "Do you like the Seventh Prince? Do you think your status and behavior now are worthy of the Seventh Prince?"

  Rong Lingyue suddenly burst into tears, as if she could no longer bear it, and ran crying towards the inner courtyard.

  The cloud-like moon no longer looked at Rong Lingyan, her gaze coldly fixed on Ye Tianyi's carriage. For a moment, she suddenly reached out, and a fierce gust of wind suddenly attacked Ye Tianyi's carriage. All that could be heard were the sounds of wooden cracking, "crack crack crack", as Ye Tianyi's carriage instantly fell apart. She withdrew her gaze, not looking at him again, and with a "slap" sound, she lowered the curtain. Coldly warning Ye Tianyi: "This time it was your carriage that was destroyed, if there is a next time, be careful of your head!"

  Splintered wood fell to the ground, the sound unceasing. The horses pulling the carriage could not withstand the intense cold and let out a loud whinny.

  Ye Tianyi burst out of the broken carriage at the last moment, landing lightly on his feet. Without even a glance at the scattered remains of the carriage, he looked towards Rong Jing's tightly closed curtains and smiled warmly, saying: "Good! Just this once, I will remember your words forever."

  Yun's heart skipped a beat as she thought of it, and her mind was filled with a sudden sense of unease.

  Her pale face suddenly paled a few more shades, but she didn't say a word.

  The steward Rong Fugui and the guards at the entrance of the Wangfu were astonished in their hearts, not daring to raise their heads to look at the place where the storm was gathering. They sensitively felt that something was very wrong today, and it seemed that the Seventh Prince had a deep relationship with Miss Shangyue.

  Xuan Ge sat in the front of the carriage, not even daring to breathe heavily. He could clearly feel the fluctuations in the breathing of Shallow Moon Miss and the Crown Prince inside the carriage. Thinking about following the Crown Prince for over a decade, he had never seen such an intense scene that made his forehead sweat like today.

  The grand entrance of Rong Wang Fu fell into a dead silence once again.

  After a while, Yè Tiān Yì didn't hear Yuán Qiǎn Yuè speak, and looked at Róng Jǐng's carriage as it slowly drove away: "My carriage was destroyed. I originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to ride in Master Róng's carriage to Dé Qīn Wáng Fǔ, but thinking that Master Róng is very particular about not letting people approach within three feet of him, Tiān Yì won't go to Dé Qīn Wáng Fǔ today. I'll go visit Old Master Dé Qīn tomorrow instead. Please proceed, Master Róng!"

  "Alright!" Rong Jing nodded, instructing Rong Fu, "Uncle Fu, send the horse carriage that was made a while ago to the Seventh Prince as compensation for his broken carriage."

  "Yes!" Yongfu responded immediately.

  "Jing Shizi, you're being polite! Tian Yi wouldn't dare let Jing Shizi compensate for the carriage, besides it's not like Jing Shizi should be compensating." Night Tian Yi smiled slightly and distantly, pulled over the horse that was pulling the carriage, gently shook off the dust on the reins, jumped onto the horse, his voice low and smiling, "This carriage is considered compensation to Miss Shallow Moon!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, he urged his horse forward with a squeeze of his legs and rode away from the Rong Wang Fu in silence.

  Yun Shallow Moon suddenly lifted the curtain, only to see a handsome figure of Ye Tianyi riding away. Her eyebrows furrowed tightly. What was it that she had lost in her memory? What kind of entanglement did she have with Ye Tianyi in the past? This person seemed different from Rong Feng; if it were Rong Feng, he would never let her be in a difficult situation, but Ye Tianyi acted as if it were only natural and unexpected. He didn't make a big show of entering the capital, and his comings and goings were all low-key, riding ordinary carriages. Yet today's events were not low-key at all. She thought that Ye Tianyi was such a low-key yet ostentatious person! Today, because of Fifth Miss, he and Rong Jing had exchanged blows, but Rong Jing didn't gain any advantage. No wonder he let Rong Jing be on edge for the past two days as soon as he returned. She felt that this person was truly unusual, and her head started to ache slightly.

  "Reluctant to part?" Rong Jing saw Yun Qian Yue lifting the curtain and gazing at the direction where Ye Tian Yu rode away on horseback, unmoving, with a faintly raised eyebrow.

  Clouds are shallow and the moon is invisible.

  "You can't bear to part with it and yet you can still chase after him, your lightness skill is now faster than that horse under his body!" Rong Jing looked at Yun Qian Yue, her clear eyes turned dark.

  Clouds are shallow and the moon is still there as if she hadn't heard.

  "I didn't know that, so your decision is his decision! Even love can be helped to block it! Is the fifth miss of Rong Wangfu not worthy of the seventh prince? How did I not know!" Rong Jing's eyebrows were raised high, her tone seemingly lightly mocking, "Are you telling me that only the legitimate daughter of Yun Wangfu can match him?"

  Yun Qian Yue suddenly turned her head, her face gloomy as she stared at Rong Jing.

  Rong Jing also looked at Yun Qian Yue, and on her gloomy face, his expression seemed to be smiling but not quite, while his eyes had no hint of a smile.

  Yun Shallow Moon suddenly got angry! This is different from the anger she had been provoked before, if he and Rong Jing argued, being bullied by him, nine out of ten times she was just pretending to be angry. But this time she clearly felt the anger burning at the bottom of her heart. The angrier she became, the less she spoke, only staring at Rong Jing.

  Rong Jing lived in a quiet place, also looking at the shallow clouds and moon. His eyes gradually gathered black clouds and fog, and the mist was heavy.

  Yun Shang Yue looked at Rong Jing for half a moment, didn't say a word, suddenly her toes lightly tapped, and she flew out of the carriage.

  Rong Jing's face changed, and he suddenly reached out, but only managed to grab a corner of Yun Qianyue's clothes. With a "rip" sound, the corner was torn off, and Yun Qianyue's figure had already disappeared from the carriage. He stared in the direction Yun Qianyue had left, his whole body frozen in shock inside the carriage.

  "The prince, is going to pursue Miss Shallow Moon?" Xuan Ge was shocked and lost color.

  Rong Jing pursed her lips and did not speak.

  "The Crown Prince?" Xuan Ge grew anxious, Shallow Moon Miss was not like before, his martial arts were originally lower than hers, and if he went any later, he would be even more unable to catch up. The Crown Prince had no martial arts skills, and there was no way for him to chase after her.

  "You can't catch up with her even if you go! What's the use of catching up?" Rong Jing suddenly smiled, his warm and gentle voice seemed to be sinking, cold, and sarcastic. "These two days she has been restless, after losing her memory, in her heart, the most important person is still that person! Even if I have martial arts skills, what's the point of chasing after her? The one who can catch up with her, cannot catch up with her heart."

  Xian Ge lowered his head, and he clearly saw in the dark that Shallow Moon Miss seemed to be going to see the Seventh Prince, but was later stopped by Qing Shan. Shallow Moon Miss was indeed distracted, even he could tell, let alone the Crown Prince!

  Rong Jing stretched out his hand and pulled down the curtain, grasping the purple corner of his clothes and leaning against the wall of the car with his eyes closed.

  He thought that ten years of bitter suffering had already made his body and mind unbreakable, and he had learned to endure, restrain himself, be patient, and make himself not arrogant, not anxious, not annoyed, and not angry. However, all of these were reduced to ashes when he encountered her. Seeing her, although she seemed calm on the surface after returning from Ye Tianyi's place, occasionally revealed an unstable mood. Seeing her, although she was annoyed because of being involved with Ye Tianyi, still helped him block the fifth sister, and he couldn't help but get angry. How could he possibly remove that person from her heart when even after losing her memory, that person could still touch her heartstrings?

  "The prince, if you don't go after Miss Shallow Moon, and Miss Shallow Moon goes to see the Seventh Prince, then you..." Xuan Ge fell silent for a moment before speaking. If he just let Miss Shallow Moon leave in anger and then make up with the Seventh Prince, wouldn't that render the prince's efforts all for naught?

  Rong Jing closed his eyes and didn't say anything.

  Xian Ge said half of the words and stopped, not daring to speak again. He had witnessed today's events with his own eyes. Although he felt sorry for the Crown Prince, he thought that Shallow Moon Miss was biased towards the Seventh Prince even if she had lost her memory. However, he also thought that it wasn't Shallow Moon Miss' fault for getting angry today, but rather Fifth Miss'. If Fifth Miss hadn't stopped the Seventh Prince from speaking nonsense and redirecting his words to Shallow Moon Miss, there wouldn't have been any subsequent events.

  "Your Highness, are you going to punish Fifth Miss for her lack of propriety? I'll go and carry out the family law right away!" Gong Fu asked tentatively.

  Xuan Ge thought that the family law should be implemented, the women in this mansion are becoming more and more unmanageable! First, it was the second young lady Rong Linglan who had a big fight with Xiao Xiuzhuang, the cold and elegant princess of the Taizi Mansion and the Xiaoxiang Wangfu. Now, it's the fifth young lady who openly confessed her feelings to the seventh imperial prince in front of the crown prince at the entrance of the Rongwang Mansion, making the crown prince lose face. If they are not punished, what will happen next?

  "Uncle Fu, personally tell Fourth Aunt that today's matter must not make things difficult for Fifth Sister," Rong Jing said.

  The strings sang in unison.

  "Yes! I'll go and inform the Fourth Mistress right away!" Yongfu was also taken aback, but quickly lowered his head in response, hastily entering the mansion and heading towards the Fourth Mistress's quarters.

  "I'm not going to the Duke's palace today! Unload the carriage!" Rong Jing lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage, giving a faint order to Xuan Ge, then walked slowly towards the inner courtyard.

  Xiang Ge immediately responded and drove the carriage into the mansion.

  The guards at the entrance of Rong Wang Fu swept away the splintered wood from the seventh prince's carriage and tightly closed the large gate, although Rong Jing had already entered the mansion, no one mentioned a word about what had just happened.

  Back at the Zizhuyuan, Rong Jing entered the room and saw the mandarin duck embroidery on the soft couch, with a bitter smile. He thought that this sachet would not be worn on Qixi Festival, perhaps he just expected it, but never really thought about wearing it. He rubbed his forehead, leaned against the soft couch, sat down tiredly, and closed his eyes.

  Is he asking for too much? But he just can't control his anger, what else can be done?

  For Ye Tianyi, he never had good luck!

  He never had confidence in her!

  The room was quiet, and she sat still like a statue, leaning against the soft couch for a long time without moving.

  The sunlight at noon pierced through the curtains and shone into the room, casting a glow on his white jade robe, but it seemed that even this could not dispel the layer of frost that covered his white jade robe. Although the sun was shining brightly and warmly, he looked as if he were standing in the dark of night.

  After an unknown period of time, a familiar voice suddenly came from the doorway, "You must be very pleased to have driven me away, aren't you?"

  Rong Jing's body suddenly trembled, her eyes closed but didn't open.

  "Do you think I'm just playing around with you?" Yun Qian Yue leaned against the door frame, coldly staring at Rong Jing who was sitting on the couch. "Is my, Yun Qian Yue's, feelings for someone so worthless? Not worth your trust? Must I dig out my heart and show it to you before you're satisfied? Before you can rest assured? Before you stop being paranoid?"

  Rong Jing closed his eyes and suddenly opened them wide.
