An Yihuan returned from the hospital with a gloomy face, completely in a state of "strangers keep out, acquaintances don't disturb". Everyone at the dinner party saw An Yihuan's emotional change, but no one was willing to come forward and provoke him at this time. An Yihuan also maintained a sullen face until the end of the dinner party.
After Lady Hui Nan Hou An Yu took Shen You Xia away, Zhu Yun Yan came to find An Yi Han.
"What's going on here? If someone didn't know any better, they'd think something major had happened at the Duke of An Guo's estate!"
More than half a time has passed, and Anyi Han's face hasn't improved at all. Although Zhu Yunyan was joking, he couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart.
"It's nothing, just met someone I shouldn't have met."
Thinking of the person he had just met, An Yi Han's face was cold, but his heart was secretly clenched together, and the pain in it made him unable to ignore.
"Alright," hearing An Yi Han say that, Zhu Yun Yan didn't even need to ask the next question to know who had made An Yi Han so unhappy. "After all, this is also Aunt's manor, so please give some face to Nan Hou, don't keep looking so gloomy as if someone owed you a lot."
Hui Nan Hou's wife was Zhu Yunyan's aunt, so she was naturally An Yihans' aunt. With a stiff face at someone else's dinner party, no matter who spoke, it wasn't good to look at anyway.
"Don't mention me, I'd rather ask you, what's going on between you and Shen Youxia? Could it be that you really plan to make this Rui Wangfei a reality and keep her in the Rui Wangfu to enjoy life?"
An Yi Han suddenly remembered, if he didn't want to see Zhu Yunyan and Shen Youxia's hypocritical faces at the banquet, he wouldn't have gone to the backyard. If he hadn't gone to the backyard, he naturally wouldn't have met that person, and he also wouldn't be in a bad mood now.
"Since we can't part ways for a while, let's just give each other some face and avoid making fools of ourselves in front of others, okay?"
Actually, Zhu Yunyan didn't know what she was thinking in her heart, but today looking at Shen Youxia's appearance, she just wanted to be good to her a little bit, and didn't want everyone to think that she was an abandoned, unloved princess consort.
Of course, these words Zhu Yunyan could only put in his own heart, he didn't dare to say a word to An Yihuan. The discord between the An Guo Gong Fu and the Ding Guo Hou Fu had been going on for a long time, and after marrying Shen Youxia, the conflict became even more intense. He didn't need to provoke An Yihuan's displeasure again.
"It's better if what you're saying is true. Cheating me would be a small matter, but if you've cheated yourself, then in the end it will still be you who suffers."
To put it bluntly, An Yi Han's animosity towards Shen You Xia stems more from Shen You Xia's long-standing infatuation with Zhu Yun Yan. As a witness to the two people's abusive relationship, An Yi Han still can't help but think that Shen You Xia, as a woman, is so unreserved and believes that pestering someone relentlessly can win their heart.
But if An Yi Han could ask himself honestly, he would know how much his prejudice against Shen You Xia was double standard.
"How can I be so idle? What's there to cheat about in this matter?"
Why did Zhu Yunyan ask An Yihans like this, probably even Zhu Yunyan himself didn't know what he was subconsciously avoiding.
"As long as you're clear in your own mind, that's all that matters. I still hold the same view - there are plenty of clever and cunning people in the Dingguo Marquis' household. If you're only doing this for the sake of the Dingguo Marquis, then don't make things difficult for yourself by involving your own marriage. This road is long and unpredictable, with many unforeseen events still to come. To walk it more safely, I'm afraid you'll need even deeper and more numerous connections."
