"It's the Fourth Lady!"
Qiuxi's voice was tinged with anger.
Liang Wan glanced sideways. "Right now, aren't I the one everyone in the mansion should be scorning?"
Qiuxi shook her head. "I can't control what others think, but I know the truth in my own heart."
As they spoke, Liang Jiao approached them. She seemed to have something to say but held her tongue with Qiuxi present.
Liang Wan gave Qiuxi a look, signaling for her to wait off to the side.
Once Qiuxi was a short distance away, Liang Wan spoke. "He agreed to marry you?"
Liang Jiao nodded sheepishly.
'This was the outcome she'd known from the moment they hatched their scheme.'
'She knew exactly what kind of person Wang Tingyue was. Under those circumstances, he would take responsibility, no matter the reason.'
'He was the only good person in that family, yet she had targeted that very goodness.' Liang Wan's lips curled into a self-mocking smile.
"Don't forget what you promised me."
