Afterward, Cao Jun lifted the curtain with a hint of anger in his eyes, “What are… it’s you?”

...

As soon as he lifted the curtain, the people inside the carriage saw Yan Xin on the horseback.

And Yan Xin also saw the people inside the carriage.

Although the Cao and Yan families haven’t officially arranged a marriage, many people in the capital knew about their discussions.

When the Cao family suddenly called it off, Yan Xin became a laughing stock for many. So when she saw the Cao family’s carriage, she charged over without thinking.

Now seeing the people inside the carriage, Yan Xin’s anger deepened.

Just as she was about to speak, Jiang Ruyun spoke first, “Yan Xin, what’s the meaning of this? Do you realize you almost ran into us and scalded my elder sister?”

Hearing Jiang Ruyun’s words, Yan Xin’s eyes were full of triumph, but she didn’t sound apologetic, “I’m really sorry.”

“You…”

Seeing Yan Xin’s expression, anger flickered in Jiang Ruyun’s eyes.

If it wasn’t for Cao Jun’s presence, she really wanted to take out her whip.

“Miss Yan, please move aside.”

At this point, Cao Jun spoke impatiently. As soon as he did, Yan Xin’s anger flared up. She looked at Cao Jun with fury, “Cao Jun, are you out of your mind? To cancel the marriage with my family because of Jiang Ruyun, this washed-up woman.”

“Yan Xin, watch your words!”

Hearing the words ‘washed-up woman,’ Cao Jun’s face was very displeased.

But when Yan Xin saw his unpleasant expression, she couldn’t help but smile, “Am I not telling the truth? Not only has Jiang Ruyun been engaged to the Prince of Huainan, but she also had a miscarriage…”

Before Yan Xin could finish her sentence, the horse suddenly reared up, and she tumbled off.

Yan Xin climbed up from the ground, coldly glaring at the people inside the carriage.

Her gaze landed on Jiang Peihuan, who was putting away her whip.

While coiling up the whip, Jiang Peihuan said, “If 1 hear these words again, 1 can’t guarantee that my whip won’t fall on Miss Yan.”

With the whip put away, Jiang Peihuan looked at Cao Jun and said, “Let’s go.”

Hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words, Cao Jun nodded and told the driver, “Let’s go.”

After saying that, he lowered the curtain in his hand.

The carriage moved on, but Jiang Ruyun’s face inside the carriage had obviously darkened.

Jiang Peihuan didn’t say anything.

Although Yan Xin’s words were harsh, they were true. That’s why she had lashed the horse instead of Yan Xin.

After a while, the carriage stopped. Outside, they heard the driver’s voice, “Young Master, we’ve arrived.”

“Understood.”

After responding, Cao Jun lifted the curtain and got off the carriage.

After all the people in the carriage got down, he let the curtain down.

Since many young ladies from noble families were coming to sightsee, merchants had built many pavilions here. Cao Jun had already reserved a beautiful pavilion. After getting off the carriage, they headed straight to the pavilion.

“Sister Jiang, the scenery here is beautiful.”

Liu Xin had always wanted to come here, but the ones coming here were mostly daughters of prestige families. She worried about causing unnecessary trouble, so she never came.

In her past life, Jiang Peihuan had come here a few times, but in this life, it was her first time.

Hearing Liu Xin’s words, she quietly said, “Then I’ll accompany you for a walk.”

Today’s weather was good, so there were many people out for a stroll. She didn’t want Liu Xin to go alone, for fear of any accidents.

Liu Xin truly wanted to enjoy the scenery. Hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words, she nodded with a smile, “Thank you, Sister Jiang.”

Afterward, Jiang Peihuan turned to Cao Jun and Jiang Ruyun, “We’re going for a walk. Do you want to join?”

“Elder sister, I’m a bit tired and want to rest. You go ahead with Liu Xin, I’ll join you later.”

“I’ll stay here and keep Ruyun company.”

Upon hearing their replies, Jiang Peihuan nodded and left with Liu Xin.

Just after Jiang Peihuan and Liu Xin left the pavilion, Cao Jun anxiously looked at Jiang Ruyun, “Ruyun, are you angry with me?”

“I’m not angry at you. I’m angry at myself. After all, what Yan Xin said was…”

“Ruyun, stop.”

Before Jiang Ruyun could finish, Cao Jun interrupted her softly. Looking into her eyes, he said seriously, “1 know if I say I don’t care at all, you won’t believe me.”

“1 admit, the matter between you and the Prince of Huainan does bother me a little. But it’s not because of so-called innocence, but because 1 feel sorry for the hurt you’ve suffered. 1 even blame myself for not meeting you earlier, especially since fate had given me an opportunity.”

“Ruyun, being able to finalize our engagement and, soon, marry you, 1 am already very content. So, don’t be upset by others’ words. It hurts me to see you like that.”

Hearing Cao Jun’s words, Jiang Ruyun’s eyes filled with tears. After a while, she nodded, “Alright, I’ll remember your words.”

Seeing her smile again, Cao Jun said with a laugh, “Let’s go find Eldest Miss Jiang and Liu Xin.”

“Okay.”

Jiang Ruyun nodded, and they left the pavilion together.

At this moment, Jiang Peihuan and Liu Xin had reached the moat. Just as Cao Jun had predicted, the lotus seeds in the moat were ripe, and many people were picking them from small boats. Seeing this, Liu Xin’s eyes were filled with excitement.

“Sister Jiang, should we go and pick some lotus seeds too?”

Seeing the enthusiasm in her eyes, Jiang Peihuan nodded.

“Elder sister?”

At this moment, they heard Jiang Ruyun’s voice from behind.

When Cao Jun and Jiang Ruyun walked up to them, Cao Jun softly said, “I’ve already prepared a few small boats. Eldest Miss Jiang and Miss Liu, do you want to pick lotus seeds?”

“We were just about to go.”

Upon hearing that Cao Jun had prepared the boats, Liu Xin’s eyes lit up with joy.

To facilitate picking lotus seeds, the boats were made very small, so a boat could just accommodate two people.

A short while later, Jiang Peihuan and Liu Xin boarded one boat, while Jiang Ruyun and Cao Jun got onto another.

The water in the moat was flowing, so once they got on, they didn’t have to paddle. Occasionally, they just needed to gently stroke the water with their hands, and the boat would drift on its own.

At first, the two boats were close together, but after a few strokes, they drifted apart..
