She is the murderer!
Qin Musheng realized he had misspoken, his face slightly changing color, and he stammered without giving an answer.
Seeing his expression, Ran Yan decided not to press further, “Don’t ask me about the canceled engagement—I don’t know and I don’t care.”
“Yan…” Qin Musheng’s face turned a bit pale as he looked at Ran Yan’s beautiful and indifferent features, feeling a twinge of pain in his heart, “I genuinely like you.
I admit to behaving recklessly in the past, but I will never do so again.
Yan, please don’t cancel our engagement…”
Ran Yan believed he was speaking sincerely at that moment.
There are people so earnest when they are sincere, but you never know if they’ll change their mind the next second.
Perhaps he would eventually meet someone who could truly capture his heart.
Just like “crying wolf,” it was impossible to discern when he was truthful and when he wasn’t.
Naturally, Ran Yan wouldn’t gamble her future on such feelings, nor did she have the determination to reform a troubled youth.
Seeing that Ran Yan was no longer paying him any attention, Qin Musheng thought it was because of Yin Miaomiao’s affair, and he hastily said, “Yin Miaomiao assumes that her sister lost her virtue to me, but I swear I never touched Yin Wanwan!”
Ran Yan’s pupils shrank suddenly, and she asked coldly, “Do you know how Wanwan died?”
Qin Musheng was in no mood to discuss these matters and replied offhand, “Didn’t she contract a serious illness?
Yan…”
Ran Yunsheng saw that Ran Yan seemed to be growing impatient and interrupted, “Qin Silang, I don’t want to resort to violence.
If the engagement is already off, it means that you were not fated to be together.
If you persist in your harassment, don’t blame me for not showing you any mercy.”
“You!” Qin Musheng’s face turned livid.
He had patience for beautiful women, but that didn’t mean he was patient with everyone.
In an instant, he grabbed Ran Yan, intending to drag her outside, “Come with me to plead with Uncle Ran.
He will surely change his mind!”
Ran Yunsheng’s face changed, and he barked, “Stop him!”
The four burly men blocking the door moved to cut off his path.
Qin Musheng, unexpectedly skillful for a dandy, threw a fierce punch at the abdomen of the closest man.
Caught off guard, one of the men was struck and staggered back, his sturdy back hitting the door frame with a loud “bang”.
The other three men immediately lunged forward, but wary of hurting Ran Yan standing at Qin Musheng’s side, they dared not strike too hard.
They feared accidentally hitting her delicate, flower-like face, and they couldn’t subdue him right away.
Ran Yan, who had eaten little for breakfast and expended much energy while treating the elder Lady Cui, felt uneasy being tugged and pulled on an empty stomach.
She summoned all her strength, grabbed with one hand, and clutched his upper arm with the other—only to hear a “crack” sound.
Qin Musheng’s right arm suddenly hung limply, swaying on his body, the intense pain causing him to reflexively release his hold.
The men took advantage and firmly pinned him down.
Ran Yan stepped back a few paces, watching the chaos die down with a cold gaze.
Once everything settled, she approached with an icy expression, grabbed Qin Musheng’s arm, tugged it slightly, and then sharply pushed it back into place.
Everyone inside the room stared at the unflinching Ran Yan in disbelief.
The grating, bone-grinding sounds of “crack” “crack” made everyone feel as if their own arms hurt.
They thought to themselves how they never expected the frail-looking lady to possess martial arts skills, let alone such ruthlessness—to dislocate and reset an arm without even blinking an eye.
In fact, the little skill Ran Yan possessed was no match for Qin Musheng.
It was only because he thought he had caught a little lamb and had completely let down his guard that she managed to easily dislocate his arm.
The intense pain in his right arm, burrowing deep into his heart, revealed a look of defeat and despair in Qin Musheng’s eyes.
The Ran Yan he saw was as usual, with her deep dark eyes slightly cold, lacking the mocking and disdainful look of other Noble Ladies.
It was this that suddenly made him feel inferior.
“Whether you believe it or not, the person framing me must be Yin Miaomiao, and she’s likely the one who tried to kill your maid as well,” Qin Musheng said, leaning on the door frame and slowly standing up.
As Qin Musheng was the legitimate son of Upper Assistant Qin, the guards didn’t dare to do much to him, provided he didn’t instigate trouble himself, and they stood around on alert.
“I won’t give up,” Qin Musheng dropped these words and turned to leave the elegant room.
Ran Yunsheng’s handsome eyebrows furrowed slightly as he withdrew his gaze and looked at Ran Yan, “When was the engagement arranged?”
