Chapter 107 Rumors
Chapter 107 Rumors
The handsome man lay softly on the woman's shoulders, his big hands tightly clasping the woman's cold hands. The two of them snuggled up to each other, behaving intimately, but it didn't seem awkward at all, as if it was so natural that people couldn't bear to insult them for their immoral behavior with a worldly perspective.
"Don't be afraid, we'll be fine."
Xiao Qingye sensed Shen Qingyu's fear, and he gently opened his red lips to comfort her, "I say, Brother Nanrong, your behavior of watching someone in danger and not saving him is not what a gentleman does!"
Xiao Qingye's call of "Brother Nanrong" startled Shen Qingyu, and she subconsciously pushed Xiao Qingye away.
Young Master Xiao Qi staggered and almost lost his balance and fell down.
Now all his sleepiness disappeared.
"Cousin Qing Yu, you...you..."
Young Master Xiao sighed sadly, with a look of loss between his brows. How could he, the Seventh Young Master of the Xiao family, be inferior to Nan Rongyan? This ignorant girl actually dared to push him away with disdain, which made him so angry. It really hurt the self-esteem of Young Master Xiao.
There is still one?
Following Xiao Qingye's call of "Brother Nanrong", the villain who led the trouble discovered the young man in white standing not far away.
They were so astonished by the sight that they even forgot what they were going to do next.
The young man in white had an elegant and handsome face, a calm expression, cold and distant eyes, and an ethereal and refined demeanor.
Her hair was tied up with a jade crown and her pure white robe fluttered in the wind, without a trace of dirt on it.
Holding a purple bamboo flute in his hand and wearing a black jade ring on his waist, he stood tall and slender, as if the whole world had pale into insignificance in front of him. He was so high and mighty, like a banished immortal, that no one could feel the slightest desire to blaspheme him.
Today was a strange day. The plain-looking second young lady of the Shen family attracted the favor of two handsome young men. These people were almost shocked.
Which one do they catch?
They say that a couple is always caught together. Now there are three of them. Which one should I choose to kidnap?
"Boss, how about tying them all up?"
As soon as one of them finished speaking, the sharp-faced man with his eyes covered kicked him heavily, "You are blind, that is Young Master Nan Rong of Nan Rong Mansion. You dare to offend him, you are asking for your life."
When they heard that it was the Nanrong family of Jinling, they knew that it was a century-old family whose ancestors had made great contributions to the founding of the country, and they simply could not afford to offend them.
Injuring the second young lady of the Shen family was not a big deal. They would take the money and run away. But if the young master of the Nanrong family was injured, the influence of the Nanrong Mansion spread across many states and counties. Even if they ran to the capital, under the feet of the emperor, they could not escape the pursuit of the Nanrong family.
"Uncle Nanrong..."
Jiang Yun pulled at Master Nanrong's robe, wondering why Uncle Nanrong didn't go in just now, since they had clearly arrived earlier than that master.
But when that young man cunningly called out "Sister Shen", Uncle Nanrong stopped. Humph, it seems that that young man with a coquettish face is not a good person. He dared to hug and embrace Sister Shen in front of everyone, and he is still sticking to Sister Shen. Now that she is in danger, he called Uncle Nanrong for help.
Jiang Yun followed Shen Qingyu all the way down the mountain, and when he found out that she was in trouble and in danger, he ran to the bamboo forest to ask Uncle Master Nan Rong for help.
Nan Rongyan just stood there quietly. Even if he didn't say a word, the aura around him was enough to make those villains feel panicked. They all looked timid and dared not to be arrogant anymore.
He came in white clothes, without a trace of worldly air.
He walked slowly, his footsteps were very light, and all the sounds around him were amplified countless times. Shen Qingyu held her breath and looked at him. She saw his eyes fell on her. The complex gaze made Shen Qingyu unable to guess what he was thinking.
But how could Shen Qingyu care about what he was thinking? Her approach was always for a purpose.
"Zi Yu, you are here."
She raised her eyes, smiled slightly, and her blood-stained sleeves fluttered in the wind.
Shen Qingyu curled her lips slightly. She could probably figure out why Nan Rongyan came to see her this time.
But it came so quickly.
He must be very angry.
Shen Qingyu's face was a little flustered, with a hint of guilt in his eyes. He tried hard to force a smile, but the smile was so unnatural.
When Xiao Qingye heard Shen Qingyu calling Nan Rongyan "Zi Yu" so familiarly, his charming face suddenly became gloomy. Shen Qingyu, this bad girl, her third uncle asked her to come to Yuntaishan to investigate the tea seedlings of the tea house, but she is here, enjoying the romance with Nan Rongyan and having a good time.
Xiao Qingye felt inexplicably annoyed, and said indifferently, "It turns out that those rumors are true."
As soon as Xiao Qingye finished speaking, Nan Rongyan's cold and handsome face turned slightly red. Recently, rumors were flying around in Jinling Mansion, saying that he and the second young lady of the Shen family had done something shameful on Yuntai Mountain, which was immoral. Because of this, my grandfather had looked for him many times and asked him what was going on.
Only the two of them knew what happened in the bamboo forest, but within just one month, the news had spread all over Jinling Prefecture. The news became more and more absurd, saying that the Second Miss Shen could not bear the loneliness in the mountains, so she forcibly tied him up the mountain to have sex with her. It was also said that he could not bear the torture of the Second Miss Shen, so he finally gave in and became her plaything. In short, there were all kinds of unbearable words. Even though he was indifferent and had never been angry, he broke a paintbrush after hearing the rumor that day.
Shen Qingyu, this cunning and fickle woman, easily destroyed his reputation in Jinling Prefecture.
And that Miss Qi actually asked him in front of him, you even touched that ugly and stupid girl from the Shen family, why don’t you want me?
Thinking of this, Nan Rongyan Qingjun's face was so angry that he almost lost his mind. Although he still tried his best to remain calm, he was lucky that he was not driven crazy or even killed by a woman as cunning and shameless as Shen Qingyu.
Shen Qingyu felt like she was being watched by Nan Rongyan, and she felt more and more guilty. Others didn't know, but Nan Rongyan must have guessed that the rumors now spreading throughout Jinling Prefecture were all spread by her. She just didn't know what kind of rumors had spread. She had been in the mountains the whole time, and Uncle Tian only picked up some of the unpleasant rumors that were still acceptable and told her to listen. He might have been afraid that she, an unmarried young lady from a noble family, could not stand the vicious insults from the rumors, so he told her that they were all insulting her for being shameless.
Could it be that the rumors were even worse? Of course, Shen Qingyu was just thinking about it in her mind. If she were to ask Nan Rongyan in person, she wouldn't dare to do so because Nan Rongyan looked like he wanted to kill her.
Everything had been done, but when facing Nan Rongyan, she still felt inexplicably guilty.
