The engagement between the two families was broken. The eldest daughter of Ningyuan Army General did not guard her chast.i.ty. She had such a malicious heart that while she was impregnated by another man, she devised an evil plan for her younger sister to take her place in marriage.

　　This piece of news was s...o...b..lled as it spread.

　　Within half a day's time frame, the entire Jiangzhou was talking about this. In a matter of hours, the eldest Miss Qin was spurned and despised to be the most shameful girl. Some even weaved her story into a song to sing. When news reached Qin Huaiyong, he quickly sent men to suppress the news, but it was impossible to completely silent the people because the Qi family secretly interfered with the matter.

　　By this time, the news had even spread far beyond Jiangzhou...

　　The Ningyuan Army General was furious. Qin Yuru wailed and cried and even tried to commit suicide. She had caused an upheaval in the entire household.

　　In contrast to the rest of the house, Qin Wanru still enjoyed some quiet in the old grandma's house. However, Qin Wanru's heart was not at peace, although what was troubling her was not the things concerning Qin Yuru.

　　Frowning slightly while seated beside the old grandma's bed, she wondered if she had been seeing things. Was it really him?

　　In her dreams, she only had a glimpse of him when he also looked her way.

　　But why would he be here? Considering his status, should he not be far away in the capital city right now, while under house arrest?

　　In her dreams, she did not remember seeing him from her house...

　　"Miss, there's a guard at the gates, asking to meet you, but I've never seen him before!" Qing Yue came into the room quietly to pa.s.s the message.

　　Qin Wanru took in a deep breath as she tried to suppress the thrill in her heart. "Where is he?" she lifted her pale countenance and inquired.
