Before Xiao Cao could react, Wen Renying's eyes turned cold. "If Miss Li is alright, we'll leave first."
In the past, although Li Ruoshui was an anomaly, Hua Bochen also liked her, and Wen Renying also knew that she was pretentious and artificial, but she didn't have any special opinions about her. After all, it had nothing to do with her, Wen Renying. Now she came to her door for no reason and said some inexplicable words, which made people angry.
Li Ruoshui looked at Wen Renying and suddenly smiled. It's true that for someone who often has a sad face, suddenly giving her a bright smile can be quite lethal. However, the two people in front of her didn't like her and were naturally indifferent.
"Seventh Miss Wenren, don't you know how pitiful you are?" There was clearly some ill intention in his words.
Wen Renying just felt puzzled. Why was she pitiful? If she was pitiful, wouldn't most people in the world have no way to survive? She was now quite suspicious that Li Ruoshui was simply crazy and sick except for his attainments in poetry.
Li Ruoshui's eyes, with increasingly obvious pity and ridicule, at a certain moment, turned back to her usual self, or even worse. After all, those affectionate eyes were no longer misty, but filled with obvious tears that could fall at any time. She really looked like she had endured aggrieved feelings to the extreme.
The two sisters didn't want to continue to tangle with her, and when they were about to leave, Li Ruoshui suddenly spoke with tears in her voice, "Seventh Miss Wenren, there is really no relationship between me and Mr. Hua. We just had brief contact a few times because of poetry. I don't know if someone said something to you that caused you to misunderstand. You brought your sister to stop me like this, it's really..."
Wen Renying's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot in an instant. Her ability to lie was really extraordinary. "Whether you have a relationship with Hua Bochen..." What does it have to do with me
She swallowed back the rest of the words because Xiaocao suddenly grabbed her. Xiaocao used to frequent mountains and forests where dangers existed everywhere, so she was naturally more sensitive than most people. Just now, Li Ruoshui seemed to have glanced behind her, and now someone was approaching them quickly.
Li Ruoshui did it so obviously, his ill intentions were clearly written on his face.
Hua Bochen came up in a hurry and pulled Li Ruoshui to protect him, "Wen Renying, what are you doing?" Because of anger, he was no longer as cheerful and cheerful as before.
What else did Wen Renying not know at this moment? She unexpectedly thought of her previous life. She had encountered this situation more than once. Of course, it was not the wife of the prince in the Pingjin Marquis's Mansion. The hatred between Wen Ren Ying and her was enormous, but she had to admit that the prince was very capable and would not use such despicable and disgusting methods. The concubines of Hua Bochen were exactly the same as Li Ruoshui.
Hua Bochen accused her without asking any questions and defended those bitches. At that moment, she couldn't even tell the difference between her past and present life. She was so angry that she was shaking all over. Her pretty face was distorted. She wanted to pounce on him and scratch his face!
Hua Bochen seemed to be frightened by her reaction. He subconsciously took a step back and bumped into Li Ruoshui. Li Ruoshui subconsciously reached out to support him, making it seem as if Li Ruoshui was hugging Hua Bochen in the eyes of others.
Xiao Cao grabbed Wen Renying and said in a cold voice, "So Mr. Hua has determined that we are the ones who are causing trouble for Miss Li, right?"
"Isn't it?" Hua Bochen said without hesitation, "Fourth Miss, you cured my mother's illness, I am very grateful to you, and I have always thought that you are a kind-hearted and virtuous person, but I never thought that you would help your sister and bully a weak and helpless woman. It is really unexpected. As the saying goes, you can know a person's face but not his heart..."
At this moment, Wen Renying really felt like she was going crazy. In her previous life, because of the wife of the prince of Pingjin Marquis's Mansion, she had a bad relationship with Hua Bochen and lost her trust. So, no matter what happened, in his eyes, it was her fault. But before getting married, she and Hua Bochen had only spoken a few words to each other, so naturally they didn't know each other at all. Just because of Li Ruoshui's words, he concluded that it was her fault. If it was just her, it would be fine, but she actually dared to say something about Fourth Sister
Wen Renying was filled with anger. She broke away from Xiaocao's hand and slapped him. She had wanted to do this in her previous life. She had endured it until now, and she still wanted to consider marrying him? Bah, she would never marry such a filthy thing, even if she married an ordinary person, even if she became an old maid and spent her whole life in seclusion, she would never marry him.
Hua Bochen covered his face and widened his eyes in disbelief, "Wen Renying, you, you dare to hit me?"
"Hua Bochen, I'm telling you, if you dare to say something nonsense again, it won't be as simple as just giving you a slap."
"Miss Wenren, Mr. Hua is your fiancé, how can you lay hands on him? As a girl..."
Wen Renying didn't miss the proud expression on Hua Bochen's face when he was protecting Li Ruoshui. Wen Renying glanced over coldly and sneered, "Haha," "Fiancé..."
"Fiancé? Who is her fiancé? I, Hua Bochen, can't afford a woman who is jealous, malicious, and even violent." For some reason, Hua Bochen blurted out these words almost impatiently.
Wen Renying was about to say something, but Xiaocao held her back, "So, after Prince Cheng, Master Hua is the second person to break off the engagement with his fiancée because of Li Ruoshui, right?"
“No…” Hua Bochen denied it without even thinking about it. No matter whether this matter had anything to do with Miss Li or not, if one or two men wanted to break off the engagement because of her and had such a reputation, how many people would hate them.
"Very good," Xiao Cao did not even give him a chance to speak, "I will help you, and by the way, I wish you that after the marriage is cancelled, you can get what you want and marry the beautiful woman. - Seventh sister, let's go and find the wife of Pingjin Marquis. The Pingjin Marquis's family does not want to cancel the marriage today, and we heard that they have also decided to cancel it. This kind of man who is obsessed with other women and just listens to two words deliberately said to him, and then he believes it is the fact, without asking the truth, and does not distinguish right from wrong. He does not even have the basic trust in his fiancée. What is the purpose of this kind of man?" If you feed it to the dog, the dog will probably smell the fishy smell first. Xiao Cao did not say the last sentence.
Hua Bochen's face turned pale, and he was doubtful for a moment, could it really be...
Li Ruoshui's face also looked a little unhappy. On the fiftieth birthday of Pingjin Marquis, she wanted to disrupt the marriage of Hua Bochen and Wen Renying, just to teach a lesson to Wen Renxuan, whom she disliked at first sight. Now it seems that she has achieved her goal easily. However, she is not happy at all in her heart. It is different from what she expected. It should be that she provoked Wen Renying, causing Wen Renying to make all kinds of trouble. The cancellation of the engagement was also Wen Renying's problem.
As a result, when it comes to such a big matter as marriage, Wen Renxuan, as an elder sister, actually backed out without hesitation. Looking at her disgusted look towards Hua Bochen, it is possible that she had wanted to cancel the engagement for a long time. It didn't seem like she was the one who was causing trouble, but rather, more like she was being used and even got herself involved.
What Li Ruoshui couldn't stand was that Hua Bochen was shaken by just two words. He didn't trust her 100%. Was this the extent of his love for her? Therefore, Wen Renxuan was right in at least one thing. What was the point of having a man like this
"Mr. Hua, you don't believe me?" Li Ruoshui was about to cry.
Hua Bochen immediately felt distressed. His wavering heart stood firmly on Li Ruoshui's side again, "Don't I know what kind of person Miss Li is? Of course I believe you."
"It doesn't matter actually. Many people don't like me anyway." Li Ruoshui showed a forbearing attitude and pressed the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief.
"It's obvious that they are narrow-minded and jealous of your talent, Miss Li." Hua Bochen said quickly.
Li Ruoshui forced a smile, "It doesn't matter what happens to me. I'm used to it anyway. But Mr. Hua, you should go and take a look. We don't know what the two girls from the Wen family will say when they go to see the wife of Marquis Pingjin."
Hua Bochen hesitated, "Then Miss Li, you..."
"It's okay with me, really. In fact, I was just talking to the two girls from the Wen family. Mr. Hua may have misunderstood. Miss Wenren Seven is innocent, but she was raised in the palm of her hand after all. She doesn't know the world and is inevitably misled. She is used to being treated like a star and can't tolerate any sand in her eyes. She did something wrong under impulse, but in fact, she is a good person in nature. Mr. Hua, please don't break off the engagement with her."
"Miss Li, you don't have to say good things for her. She's innocent and naive. She's just willful and unreasonable. I can't stand this kind of person. I'm going to find my mother now to prevent them from making up stories about you."
Li Ruoshui watched Hua Bochen leave in a hurry, pulled the handkerchief to cover half of her face, hiding the strange curve of her mouth. If she didn't make a big fuss with her mother, how could she show her love for her? So, let's make a fuss, the more violent the better.
At this time, the coffin of Princess Dingbei had already left the Prince's Mansion. Prince Dingbei and Princess Changning went to the funeral. Only the old concubine was left in the mansion to entertain guests. There would be one last meal today before the guests would be dismissed.
The old empress dowager needed to entertain a group of people with the most distinguished status. Han was talking to people she was familiar with at the moment, including the wife of Marquis Pingjin. Coincidentally, Li Ruoshui's mother, Madam Li, was also there, but Xiaocao did not know her.
Xiaocao never had so many twists and turns in her mind, and she always acted straightforwardly, so she found Han and said, "Mom, I have something to tell you, and please ask Madam Pingjinhou to move over."
Han's gaze couldn't help but fall on the depressed Wen Renying, while the wife of Pingjin Hou beside her felt a sudden pang in her heart.
Han turned her head to glance at the wife of Pingjin Marquis and said, "Xuan'er is straightforward and can't keep things to herself. Madam, come with me to listen?"
No matter what, there is no reason for Lady Pingjin Marquis to refuse.
He found a secluded place and had his servants guard it.
Xiaocao did not ask to cancel the engagement, but started from the story of her "encounter" with Li Ruoshui, speaking straightforwardly without adding any of her own emotions. When she mentioned the appearance of Hua Bochen, who just happened to rush over, Xiaocao did not stop and continued to finish what she said, including the slap from Wen Renying and her own evaluation of Hua Bochen, without hiding anything.
Hua Bochen wanted to interrupt, but he was speaking the truth without exaggeration, and he spoke quite quickly. It was not in line with his upbringing to interrupt him, so he could only listen to the rest of the conversation.
Han's face was so dark, not to mention that her daughter had hit and scolded someone, she now wanted to tear Hua Bochen apart alive.
The wife of Marquis Pingjin was so angry that she wanted to cover her chest. She had been keeping this evil son locked up on the pretext of studying, just because she didn't want him to have anything to do with Li Ruoshui again. As a result, in the blink of an eye, he caused such a thing. This evil son deserved to be beaten to death, not to mention being slapped. Look at what he had done. And that vixen Li Ruoshui was a special person who specialized in sowing discord and ruining people's marriages and relationships. She never knew that her son was so stupid that he believed anything that irrelevant people said.
"What did you promise me? Ah, what did you promise me? You bastard, you bastard, why did I give birth to such a monster like you?" Lady Pingjin Hou caught Hua Bochen and beat him up.
"Mom, mom, it's obviously their fault. Didn't they tell you something before? Don't listen to their nonsense..."
"How dare you say that? How dare you say that? Li Ruoshui, that vixen..."
"Mother, Miss Li is a good girl who is pure and innocent. How can you say that about her? She was bullied by the people of the Wen family, but she never said a bad word about them." Although she said this to the wife of Marquis Pingjin, she glared at Xiaocao and Wen Renying fiercely, "It's obviously the people of the Wen family who are spreading rumors. I am your son, why don't you believe me?"
The wife of Pingjin Marquis stared at her little son in a daze. "What did she feed you? You are so obsessed. You said I don't believe you. What is it about Li Ruoshui that you trust? Are you familiar with each other? How much have you met? How well do you know her? You believe everything she says. I am your mother, and I have never seen you so obedient in front of me!"
Hua Bochen's face looked a little ugly, but, "I don't have much contact with Miss Li, but she is talented, gentle and kind, and she is a very considerate girl. She is a very simple person, and there is no need to know much about her."
Seeing that he had not changed his bad behavior, Lady Pingjin Hou felt dizzy in front of her eyes, "What an evil creature, what an evil creature..." She turned her head to look at the three people, the mother and daughter of the Wen family, who had cold faces, and felt ashamed, "Madam, let's cancel this marriage. This bastard has appeared in our family. It's my fault that I didn't teach him well. I can't let him harm your Seventh Girl. I am sorry for you, and it's our family that is sorry for the Wen family!"
