‘Is she the one who did this?’

It was true that jealousy was the most dangerous emotion on earth. Qin Fei’er only took a glance at Nan Xian but Feng Ruqing had actually broken Qin Fei’er’s pride in public out of revenge.

Qin Fei’er could not help but bite back her grievance. She knew that not only would no one believe her even if she told everyone what Feng Ruqing had done to her, but she would also even get the Qin family in trouble.

Hence, Qin Fei’er did not say a word. She merely smiled and got up with Wen Yu’s help.

“Father, Mother, it’s nothing. I have lost my balance and fallen down by accident. I am exhausted. I need to rest. Let’s go back.”

“Alright.” Wen Yu’s eyes darkened. She knew that Qin Fei’er had truly fallen for Nan Xian. Wen Yu would do anything to make Qin Fei’er’s dream come true.

“Manor Master Mu, Young Lady Suyi, Second Young Manor Master, and Young Master Nan Xian, my daughter is not feeling well. It’s time for me to take my leave.” Qin Li cupped his hand in respect. He purposely ignored Feng Ruqing.

As soon as Qin Li finished his words, he turned to leave.

Just as Qin Li was about to leave, he felt something hit him on his calf. As Qin Li was not as weak as Qin Fei’er, he did not fall down. However, his foot trembled and suddenly, he was down on one knee.

Qin Li’s face darkened. He quickly got up and left without uttering a word. He did not even ask who dealt him a blow. For Qin Li, his current situation was more embarrassing than falling on his face.

No matter who had done that to him, Qin Li had lost his face. He did not want to stay there any longer. He was not capable of dealing with the stinging comments and humiliation.

“Qin Fei’er must have thought that I have done that to her from the way she looks at me.” Feng Ruqing shrugged.

“Uhm, I did that.”

Nan Xian had made Feng Ruqing a scapegoat again.

“Well, Qin Li…”

“He disrespected you.”

Nan Xian could feel that Qin Li had paid no heed to Feng Ruqing just now. Hence, he was just giving Qin Li a tick-off.

Hearing this, Feng Ruqing did not know why she could feel a spark of warmth flowing into her heart.

“You homewrecker!” Burning with rage, Gu Yi bit her scarf. Her eyes were full of resentment.

‘No way! Nan Xian had actually claimed all the credit. I must do that before Nan Xian could react next time! I will be the one who takes all the credit then.’

After all those people had left, the feast went on as planned. Everyone enjoyed the delicacies and dared not say anything about what happened earlier. The banquet hall was peacefully silent.

“Sister-in-Law, it’s great that you all could stay here to keep my father company. I will task the servant to get a room ready for you.” Mu Qingyin smiled.

As the old master had not seen Suyi for years, sure enough, he could not bear to part with her.

“Second uncle, could you take me and Nan Xian around the manor?” Feng Ruqing asked, after a while.

Mu Qingyin did not say anything. He merely smiled and nodded.

“Qing’er did you find anything wrong?” Nan Xian frowned as he asked. Only Nan Xian who stood next to Feng Ruqing noticed that something was wrong with her.

“I am not sure. There are so many things that I am not sure about. I need to walk around here.”

“Alright, I will go with you.” Nan Xian held onto Feng Ruqing’s hand gently.

“Just go ahead. No matter what you have found, I will handle it. Just do whatever you want.”
