Chapter 74 Wanqing's Confession
Su Jinran knelt on the spot, his mind a jumble of thoughts. After a moment of contemplation, it was as if a sudden flash of inspiration struck him. He abruptly raised his head, a resolute glint rekindling in his eyes. He braced himself with his hands on the ground, quickly rose to his feet, and, ignoring the stares of those around him, dashed off like an arrow, chasing after the direction Murong Lin had gone. His figure darted swiftly through the corridor, creating a slight gust of wind, leaving only a resolute silhouette for everyone in the room.
Inside the room, Shen Wanqing slightly raised her head, a glimmer of reminiscence flashing in her eyes, and began to recount her experiences to Lin Qianqian and Murong Feng. Her voice was soft and slightly sorrowful as she slowly spoke, "I was an orphan, wandering these cold streets since childhood, utterly alone and helpless. Fortunately, a kind man found me, rescued me from that endless suffering, and raised me. He was five years younger than me, so I recognized him as my brother, and he treated me like a younger sister. However, fate played a cruel trick on me. Three years ago, I was accidentally separated from my brother, and since then, I have embarked on a long journey to find him. I came to this restaurant and took a job as a waitress, just to have a place to stay in this world, and also hoping to hear news of my brother. Over the years, I have inquired everywhere, not letting go of any possible clue, but each time I have returned empty-handed, my heart full of hope always replaced by ruthless disappointment."
She paused slightly, took a deep breath, and continued, "A few months ago, I met Young Master Su. When we talked, he opened up to me without reservation. At that moment, I felt like I had met a kindred spirit. We understood and comforted each other. He was willing to listen to my longing and concern for my brother, and I would offer him guidance when he was troubled. He even enthusiastically helped me inquire about my brother's whereabouts. Between us, it was truly just that pure friendship, nothing more." Shen Wanqing's eyes were full of sincerity and helplessness. She looked at Lin Qianqian and Murong Feng, hoping they would believe her.
Upon hearing Shen Wanqing's explanation, Lin Qianqian and Murong Feng exchanged a glance, both showing a look of sudden realization.
Lin Qianqian slightly furrowed her delicate eyebrows, pursed her rosy lips, and after a moment of thought, said in her gentle, spring-like voice, "Miss Shen, your background is indeed pitiful. The pain of being separated from your brother must have been excruciating. The affection between you and Young Master Su is pure; it was all a misunderstanding. I only hope that the princess can calm her emotions soon, listen to your explanations, and not let this misunderstanding deepen and hurt each other."
Murong Feng sighed softly, his anxious expression easing slightly, his eyes filled with a mixture of guilt and relief. He said, "Miss Shen, to be honest, I should have known there might be more to this than meets the eye, but I failed to investigate further, which led to this embarrassing situation. Since you and your brother-in-law are such close friends, once I find your eighth sister, I will certainly try to mediate and let her know the truth. Don't let unfounded suspicions ruin your relationship."
"It's all my fault, because of my appearance, the princess misunderstood..." Shen Wanqing frowned slightly, sighed softly, tears welling in her eyes, and said gently, "Brother Su is a kind person, I only hope that he and the princess can live in harmony and peace. I also hope that the princess can treat Brother Su well!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Qianqian instinctively reached out and patted her to comfort her.
