Yun Wan shot Shen Ruoheng a resentful glance and grumbled, "Shen Ruoheng, what do you take me for? Although I am desperate to leave the Marquis Manor, how could I ever drag you down with me and ruin your reputation? I was framed by someone else; a moment of carelessness led me right into their trap."
"As for you, someone sends you a message in the middle of the night, and you just come running? Are you a fool?"
Although Yun Wan occasionally sought Shen Ruoheng’s advice regarding Xuan'er’s studies, she always maintained a sense of propriety. She would never invite him to the Marquis Manor in the dead of night. Furthermore, she knew that a scholar as upright and principled as Shen Ruoheng cherished his reputation above all else. She would never plot to ruin his integrity and future just to secure her own escape from the manor. Since she had already been framed, however, she had no choice but to play along with their scheme to achieve her own ends.
