A madam could not bear to listen anymore and tactfully reminded her, "Madam Chang, take a look behind."
"Look? What is there to look ―"
Madam Chang turned her head around and was stunned for an instant.
There was only an old man on the bed!
Where was Nan Baorong?!
She did indeed ask her maid to bring Nan Baorong over under false pretense!
The madams present were all experienced and accustomed to seeing such schemes. All of them understood what happened.
Someone smiled and said, "Madam Chang's eyes are really powerful, you can see something that isn't there… Tsk, I don't dare to hang around in front of you anymore. What if you 'see' something, my name will be ruined forever, won't it?"
The other dames burst into laughter.
Madam Chang's face turned green.
Thinking of what she said earlier, she wanted to slap herself!
But the madams standing here were all from the dignitaries circle in the Shu County. Even if she wanted them to keep their mouths shut, she could not do it!
If these words were to travel to Old Madam Nan's ears, the two family's relationship will be completely torn apart!
Although she was not afraid of the Nan family's revenge, the Nan family was still the lifeline of Shu County's wealth. Having them as an enemy was still a troublesome matter after all…
But no matter how much she regretted it, it was too late.
This incident was treated as a joke and it spread quickly in the Endless Snow mountain villas.
The Nan family broke off all relations with the Zhang family. Old Madam even announced that from today onwards, the Nan family would not be selling anything from their shop to the Zhang family.
Of course, all this was after.
When Madam Chang and her friends were gathered in the elegant room, outside the window...
The window was facing an extremely high ice cliff.
Song Shining used his belt to wrap Nan Baorong tightly behind him and carefully supported her with one hand and the other hand grabbed onto the edge of the ice cliff with difficulty.
He had to wait for all the women in the elegant room to leave before bringing Baorong back up.
And now he was exhausted.
He went up the hill in a hurry and only wore a thin robe.
The biting cold penetrated his flesh. His lips were bruised from the cold and you could almost hear his teeth chattering in the cold.
The hand holding onto the ice cliff even gradually froze together with the ice.
But he dared not let go at all.
When he was fighting to stay put, some warm liquid fell on his neck.
Nan Baorong was awake and she choked while sobbing, "I've caused trouble for Young Master Song."
Song Shining knew she must have heard that bitch Madam Chang's words and understood the whole story.
"Young Master Song, you should just throw me off the cliff. Despite everything, I did lie on the same bed with another man, ruining my innocence and a woman's principles. How can I go on living like this, I should be immersed in a pig cage…"
Song Shining was heartbroken.
It was rare for him to be this serious, "No, it's not like that. It's because someone else tried to set you up and harm you, it was not your intention! To me, Song Shining, Big Miss Nan is pure and clean!"
Nan Baorong was stunned.
She looked at Song Shining's side profile earnestly.
The young man was handsome and tough. Because he traveled a lot all year round, his skin had a healthy tan and his back was very broad and strong.
He was a reliable person.
Nan Baorong cried heavily, "Thank you, Young Master Song…"
It was too cold.
Nan Baorong watched Song Shining's eyebrows and the corner of his eyes were condensed with frost, watched him trembling in the cold but did not want to leave her. Her heart melted.
She took the initiative to hug him, trying to use her body temperature to warm him up.
Song Shining froze completely.
He could not believe it and his tongue was knotted, "Nan, Nan, Big Miss Nan…"
"I know that I'm not clean and this behavior is against a woman's principles. It's just that right now we don't have a choice, I hope Young Master Song is not disgusted by me. After we return to Jinguan City, I'm willing to cut off my hair and be a nun and stay in the Buddhist temple alone for the rest of my life…"
The young woman cried harder.
Song Shining never knew that Nan Baorong was so rigid with the rules to this extent.
She was a good girl who valued chastity but also a completely silly girl.
He felt funny and also heartbroken.
After a while, he deliberately said with a straight face, "Is there such a thing in the world? Big Miss Nan already took my innocence and now you actually want to live your life alone in the temple? I think that Big Miss Nan should marry me to eliminate my resentment!"
Nan Baorong was stunned.
Song Shining plucked up the courage and whispered, "Rongrong, actually, I actually liked you for many years…"
His ears turned red and it was unsure whether it was the cold or shyness.
Above the roof.
Nan Baoyi stretched out her neck to watch the show.
It was too far and she could not hear what Song Shining said.
But she saw it clearly, Cousin Brother's face and neck were all red as a monkey's ass.
She grabbed Xiao Yi excitedly, "Second Brother, what did my Cousin Brother just said?"
Xiao Yi's thin lips curled up, "He said he likes Nan Baorong."
Since Song Shining liked Nan Baorong, then Nan Jiaojiao had no more chances.
This was good…
He thought Nan Baoyi would be sad but the little girl stroked her chest happily, "Cousin Brother finally got the courage to confess, this is fantastic! No one is more suited for each other than them in this world!"
Xiao Yi was stumped for words.
It turned out the little girl was so busy because she was trying to get Song Shining and Nan Baorong together?
He misunderstood her…
The cold wind blew.
Nan Baoyi sneezed.
Xiao Yi looked at her, the little girl was wearing a thin dress.
He said coldly, "Things are taken care of, we can go down the mountain."
"Ok…"
She was led by Xiao Yi down the roof and limped down the mountain.
Xiao Yi suddenly stopped walking.
Nan Baoyi walked into his back and rubbed her forehead unconsciously, "Second Brother?"
Xiao Yi turned around and suddenly lifted her up.
Nan Baoyi was shocked, "Second Brother?!"
Xiao Yi remained expressionless and walked calmly.
He remembered she fell when she ran out of the building. There must be some bruising on her knees. Asking her to walk down the mountain would be painful.
She was so spoilt, how could she bear the pain…
Nan Baoyi curiously looked at the powerful minister's cold face and could not figure out what he was thinking.
She tried asking, "Second Brother, are you worried I'll be tired?"
"Training my muscles, don't think too much."
Nan Baoyi pursed her lips.
A dog could not spit out ivory. The powerful minister was the same with nothing good to say!
However, having the powerful minister himself carrying her down the mountain was still a happy thing.
She nestled in the arms of the young man, "Second Brother, I remembered why I went to the building to find you. Madam Xia approached grandmother to discuss marriage, wanted you to marry her daughter Xia Qingqing… But Second Brother, I don't want you to marry Xia Qingqing."
The track of the bluestone tiles was extremely quiet.
White snows accumulated on the rugged pines and cypresses, looking fresh and quaint.
The little girl's voice was soft and sweet, like honey, more pleasing to hear than the yellow birds chirping from the depths of the forest.
A dark light surged underneath Xiao Yi's eyes as if he was looking forward to a certain answer, "Why?"
"Because she is bad and mean and manipulative, she's not good enough for Second Brother!"
Although it was not a good thing to gossip about someone behind their back, Nan Baoyi did not care so much anymore.
Xiao Yi was silent.
After a while, he said, "You are also bad and mean and manipulative."
Nan Baoyi was shocked!
It turned out that in the eyes of the powerful minister, she was actually a bad and mean and manipulative girl?!
She became angry and struggled to jump out of his arms, "Second Brother is really annoying, you never say a single good word ever! You are not allowed to carry me, put me down, put me down!"
She struggled hard, her mouth letting out a sharp noise like a noisy magpie.
Xiao Yi squinted impatiently, "Stop it."
"Put me down ―"
Nan Baoyi's words came to an end abruptly.
Because Xiao Yi suddenly lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.
