Cheng Yao looked at Cheng Yan, who was jumping up and down in anger, and said with a smug look, "Yan, stop pacing back and forth, it's making my head spin."
"What you should be thinking about now is how to explain to your wife the fact that you chased away Young Master Wenren?"
"What fact? I just casually mentioned that he should leave, but I didn't say when he should leave! He's just taking advantage and acting innocent. Wenren Xichi, you deliberately timed your wife's return and deliberately appeared at the gate."
"And you just leave when I tell you to? I told you to jump into the river, go jump now!" Cheng Yan felt like she was going crazy with anger, and she couldn't control her mouth as she spoke.
"Chengyao, you'd better get back to Xiangshan tomorrow. I'll personally send a message to the Alliance Leader and have him train and teach you properly and diligently!"
Upon hearing Cheng Yan's words, Cheng Yao angrily pointed at him and said, "You... Cheng Yan, don't go too far. I'm worried about you. How am I going to explain this to the Lady? And you just throw me back to Fragrant Hills? This is... this is simply taking revenge on my personal life."
"Trying to punish you, and you're using this to settle personal scores? Or should I train you myself?" Cheng Yan glanced at Cheng Yao with disdain.
Cheng Yao gritted his teeth in anger. He thought of the scene of Cheng Yan hitting him and making him personally discipline him. He would probably not even have a chance to get out of bed for a month.
Wenren Qichi watched the two of them arguing, her face expressionless. She spoke softly, making sure they could hear her: "Young Master Cheng, you are now the husband of my future wife. I entered the family late, so I should respect you and follow your arrangements. If you ask me to leave, how can I not leave?"
"You just told me to jump into the river, but there doesn't seem to be a river here. How about I wait until I'm healed before finding a river to jump into?"
As Wenren Qichi finished speaking, Chengyan and Chengyao both stared at him in shock.
"you..."
"Are you out of your mind?! You...you're not really going to jump?! Ugh...Wenren Qichi! Damn it..." Cheng Yan was on the verge of collapse again, looking at him as if he were an idiot.
Seriously, really, I want to kill him! He's infuriating!
"Of course I will listen to what Mr. Cheng says. Otherwise, if you prevent Ms. Su from seeing me in the future, or if you say bad things about her, wouldn't I have even less hope of getting married?" Wenren Qichi continued, seemingly oblivious to Cheng Yan's breakdown.
Cheng Yan was furious when she heard this: "I, Cheng Yan, am upright and honest. I would never speak ill of you behind your back or stop you from entering the house. If you want to enter the house and marry the mistress, that is your own choice."
"And... I didn't tell you to jump into the river. Don't jump in and then blame it on me." Cheng Yan said through gritted teeth, staring intently at Wenren Qichi.
"Oh, so what you just said..."
Cheng Yan looked at Wenren Qichi expressionlessly and emphasized again, "What I just said was a joke, nonsense. I didn't... tell you to jump into the river, nor did I kick you out. This is a place my wife specially arranged for you to stay. You can stay as long as you want."
"Then thank you very much, Lady. Please convey my gratitude to Lady Cheng when you see her later."
Cheng Yan snorted coldly, not wanting to pay him any attention. She sat down on a chair, picked up a teacup from the table, took a sip of water, and tried to suppress the anger in his heart.
Cheng Yao had already bandaged Wenren Qichi's wounds and said to him with a smile, "This is the first time I've seen Cheng Yan so angry, and she hasn't even made a move yet."
"Those who messed with him before, their graves must be overgrown with weeds by now. You're just like that!" Cheng Yao laughed and gave a thumbs up.
Upon hearing Cheng Yao's words, Wenren explained, "I wasn't trying to upset him. I was just telling the truth, and there's nothing I can do if he doesn't believe me."
“Young Master Wenren, stop with the sarcastic remarks. Just tell me, did you orchestrate today’s events? My wife detests scheming and concealment the most. Her warnings to you are all true.”
"No, I wasn't involved in today's events in the slightest. Don't worry, I'll make arrangements to remove the Queen from the picture and prevent any bad news about her from spreading."
"What are you going to do? You'd better tell your wife, otherwise if she gets angry afterward, you'll be the one who suffers."
Wenren Qichi paused for a moment after hearing Cheng Yan's words: "The Queen has not yet decided to marry me. The only thing I can do is to not let her worry because of me."
Cheng Yan glanced at the somewhat forlorn Wenren Qichi and immediately felt a pang of sadness; the anger she felt dissipated considerably.
"You decide what to do! Right now, her biggest worry is your shoulder injury. If your arm is ruined because of her, she'll feel burdened and very..."
Cheng Yan hesitated for a few seconds before continuing, "It will be very sad. She is the most soft-hearted person, and she responds better to gentleness than force. If you want to win her favor, be sincere and stop with these unnecessary schemes. You also need to show more of yourself in front of her."
After Cheng Yan finished speaking, she felt a little awkward and wanted to turn around and leave, but Wenren Qichi immediately said, "Thank you, I know what to do."
"I'm saying this not to help you, but to stop you from causing trouble and making the wife waste her energy on you, especially hurting her. If you dare, I'll kill you and your family!"
After Cheng Yan finished speaking, she left immediately.
The medicine maker immediately chased after them and said to Wenren Qichi, "Young Master Wenren, remember not to get your wound wet. Someone will bring you the internal medicine in a little while."
Wenren Qichi looked at the two who had disappeared, his expression unusually showing a hint of doubt.
He heard about Su Yueyao from Cheng Yan, a woman he had never considered marrying. Cheng Yan, however, had initially been extremely hostile towards him, not wanting him to enter the family and share Su Yueyao's affections. But just now, he seemed to have softened...
He couldn't quite understand why he would be soft-hearted towards his future love rival.
At this moment, the night-walking creature slipped in through the window and appeared in the room. Seeing its master safe and sound, it immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Master, is everything alright? Didn't you send a message saying you would arrive at the foot of the mountain by late afternoon at the latest? What happened? Why couldn't you come down the mountain?"
Wenren Qichi glanced at Ye Xing, who seemed somewhat anxious, and said calmly, "Something has happened."
"Have you taken care of everything I asked you to do before?"
Ye Xing looked at his expressionless master and felt a tightness in his chest: "Master has taken care of everything. At the latest, His Majesty will issue an edict to depose the Empress by the day after tomorrow. Lady Su's people in the palace have already begun to eliminate the Empress's influence in the palace. Our people have been helping in secret."
"There's also the influence of the Li family's main branch and the fourth and fifth branches. Many prominent families in Fengdu have made their moves, and our people have been secretly helping as well."
"Well done. I need to recuperate in the mountains for a couple more days. You should head straight back to Fengdu later. If there are any rumors about me and Lady Su, suppress them. If you can't suppress them, try to spread rumors that are unfavorable to Lady Su and pin them all on me!"
