Time goes back to a few hours ago.

At that time, Yuan Ge was still enjoying the authentic Jiangnan cuisine at Sanpinju, while Wang Shanshan was standing in the busy street carrying two sets of almost identical teacups, thinking about how to reveal the true identity of this couple in public... What is the most unbearable thing for a man? Of course, it is the betrayal from both the person next to him and his confidant.

Isn’t this the reason why they say you shouldn’t tease your friend’s wife?

Wen Qian is so morally corrupt, so what if there is an imperial decree? Even if her cousin can't divorce her, he won't treat her the same way he does now. At most, he will just leave her to fend for herself in Luofengxuan. If that's the case, it would be interesting to go over and "say hello" every now and then, and see how the once high-ranking Miss Wen lives a life worse than a servant.

Just thinking like this, Wang Shanshan felt very good. The sunshine was gentle, and the passers-by seemed kind and friendly. She even felt that being bumped by a girl was not a big deal.

The girl was wearing a veil, and when they passed each other, she bumped into her shoulder hard. The fragrance was overwhelming. It was as if some perfumed powder had been spilled, and some crimson stains were on her cuffs, staining the new clothes she had specially worn today. Wang Shanshan frowned and shook it, but of course she couldn't shake it off completely, and she even felt that the fragrance was a bit pungent and unpleasant.

The girl hurriedly turned around and apologized, "Sorry, sorry, I'm so sorry, I, I just came to Shengjing City, I don't know the way, I looked around and didn't notice you for a while... Sorry, are you okay?"

If it were usual, with Miss Wang's temper, if she didn't force the other party to compensate her with a piece of clothing in the end, it must be because she was not as eloquent as the other party and had to return empty-handed. But today she was in a good mood and liked everyone, so she shook her head very politely, "It's not a big deal. It should be fine after washing it later. It's my own fault for not paying attention."

"Miss, you are so sensible." The other person had a pair of beautiful eyes, which curved when she smiled, and there seemed to be a light in her eyes. She was delicate and pretty, and seemed to be young. The woman invited Wang Shanshan to drink tea together, "I was going to Yongpingfang, but I think I got lost. I am tired and want to rest. If you are free, I will buy you a drink. Although you think it is not a big deal, I feel bad for dirtying your clothes."

Wang Shanshan was wearing plum pink clothes today, so the scarlet powder on her sleeves was not noticeable. She was just a little bothered by it because it was new. She was not the type to get along with anyone, and she felt awkward thinking about sitting with a stranger and drinking tea, so she subconsciously declined. But the other person seemed to be very familiar with her, and without saying anything, he pulled her in. The pungent smell became stronger, and she didn't know where the powder was bought, but it made her want to sneeze.

The things of the country bumpkins are really not presentable - Wang Shanshan was complaining in her heart at that time as she was dragged into the teahouse.

The storyteller in the teahouse was talking about the recent disappearance of a young girl. "The criminals nowadays are so good, they all use drugs! The drugs smell good, they are made into perfume powder, and every girl likes to smell good smelling drugs. Then they add some nonsense, such as beauty and beauty, or charm the beloved, and the little girl will be stunned when she smells it! She was taken away in such a stupid way!"

Wang Shanshan was stunned. Somehow, as she looked at the masked girl opposite her who was talking and laughing, a layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on her back... She remembered belatedly that when she was dragged in just now, she did seem to be in a trance for a moment?

But the common people laughed out loud, "It sounds better than singing, as if you saw it with your own eyes!"

The storyteller also laughed and changed to a more comfortable sitting position, with a bit of shameless ruffian air, "I am just a lousy storyteller, so of course my storytelling is better than my singing. If I had ruined the business here by telling bad stories, the shopkeeper would have kicked me out long ago, right? You want to hear about the missing girl case, so I have to tell you about it, but these are all government secrets. If I could really tell you everything, wouldn't our parent official, Lord Yao, arrest me as a suspect?"

Everyone sighed and said in disgust, "Eh——"

The masked woman poured tea and sat down. It seemed that she had just noticed the unhappy look on the other person's face and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

Wang Shanshan shuddered again, and in a trance she looked at the people around her who were laughing and cursing in a lively manner. The feeling of falling into an ice cellar at that moment gradually dissipated, and she seemed to have truly returned to the world again. She shook her head with a tired smile and said, "It's nothing, I just heard people talking about the recent disappearance of a girl in the city, and it's inevitable to sigh..." After that, she quietly lifted her eyelids and looked over, and saw that the other party was lifting a corner of her veil to drink tea, revealing a bony and ugly scar.

My heart skipped a beat, then I felt relieved.

The other person noticed the way she was looking at him, but didn't care much. He just put down his veil and chuckled and explained, "I was scalded by hot water when I was a child... I don't mind it, but I was afraid that it would scare you, so I kept wearing the veil. It's ugly, isn't it?"

"Nothing."

The other person chuckled, and seemed to not really care about the scar on his face. Instead, he praised Wang Shanshan, "Miss, you are really kind-hearted. Judging from your behavior, you must be from a wealthy family, right? Thinking about it this way, although I have gone the wrong way, it is a blessing to meet you, Miss."

Compared to the other party's ever-smiling enthusiasm, Wang Shanshan seemed a little bored. "I'm not a lady from a wealthy family. I'm just like you, coming from another place to visit relatives... I just came a few days earlier than you."

"How could that be?" The other party's eyes widened. "Miss, are you kidding me? Looking at your behavior and demeanor, you look like the daughter of a rich family in those stories!"

Wang Shanshan suddenly sneered, "Who said that only Shengjing City has young ladies from aristocratic families? I am indeed an outsider who came to visit relatives, but I come from the Wang family of Langya, which is also a well-known aristocratic family. My aunt is Madam Wang of the Kejing Marquis's Mansion. There is no way she is inferior to this homegrown young lady!"

The other party was dumbfounded, and after a brief silence, there was even more enthusiastic compliments.

Faced with such compliments, the descendant of Wang family of Langya had already thrown away her initial vigilance and fear. What about the perfumed powder that disturbed people's minds at the first sniff, and the masked foreign woman? She only knew that she, the descendant of Wang family, was not half worse than the rootless girl of Wen family!
