As Ruan Xi looked at Ruan san niang from the distance, the memory of how Ruan san niang had employed a clumsy trick to scheme against her, made her knit her finely-trimmed eyebrows slightly.Wasn’t Ruan san niang jealous of the fact that Wen gongzi treated her well? She would allow Ruan san niang’s jealousy to persist then.

Ruan Xi immediately acted on her thoughts. Just then, a gust of wind blew past, scattering a few strands of her forehead. Ruan Xi’s heart moved and she leaned closer to Wen gongzi to murmur in a small voice: “Wen gongzi, could you help me tidy my hair?”

Wen gongzi only needed a glimpse to understand her intention. A glint of laughter appeared in his eyes as he willingly obliged.

“Sure.”

After his voice landed, Wen gongzi raised his hand to gather the strands of hair that had fallen on Ruan Xi’s forehead.

His actions were gentle, his gaze was focused.

Perhaps because Wen gongzi was leaning too close, his handsome face was well within reach, which made his faint breathing, and the faint scent of orchids suffusing from his sachet become more pronounced…

Ruan Xi’s heart thumped anxiously, her ears became burning hot, and her cheeks were dusted with faint red blush.

It was clear that she was only asking Wen gongzi to cooperate with her in this affectionate display for Ruan san niang to see, but why did she feel like she was being teased by Wen gongzi?

“It’s done.” Wen gongzi’s gaze swept past the blush on her face as he retracted his hand naturally. His sonorous and gentle voice seemed to be carrying a hint of delight.

Red-faced, Ruan Xi thanked him in a small voice.

“Let’s go over together, I ought to give the elders a greeting.”

Wen gongzi was wearing a smile on his visage. After he realised that his feelings for his fiancée had changed, he had every intention to cultivate their feelings before marriage.

And judging from si niang’s various reactions, she was not aloof and indifferent to him.

Wen gongzi’s lips quirked up.

Ruan Xi thanked him again, inwardly sighing about Wen gongzi’s comprehensive consideration. Even though he did not like her romantically, he still gave her enough esteem, and her heart palpitated from the tiniest nervousness involuntarily.

From afar, Lao Taitai twirled the prayer beads in her hand as she watched Wen gongzi and her fourth granddaughter interact, and the sight of them finally allowed her suspended heart to settle down by half.

It would suffice if Wen gongzi’s attitude towards her fourth granddaughter remained unchanged.

Meanwhile, Zhang shi’s gaze became more complicated as she looked at Ruan Xi this time around. No one knew that she secretly went to meet Great Master Hui Yuan again behind Lao Taitai’s back, and gained the answers that she wanted.

She knew that her own suspicions were correct.

Currently, this san niang was no longer her daughter in her heart; her san niang had disappeared more than ten days ago. The Great Master said that the will of Heaven could not be disobeyed and her san niang’s life had been numbered. Zhang shi was unreconciled, indignant, resentful, and wrought with inconsolable grief. She abhorred the person occupying her daughter’s body, but for her da lang’s future prospects, she could only conceal the matter forcibly, and watch on helplessly as this thing leapt and bounced before her.

Once Zhang shi thought about how she had secretly schemed against si niang for this creature that was occupying her daughter’s body, she secretly scolded herself for being deceived by a pig lard, and she could not regret it fast enough.
