"Calm yourself first," she said, "I indeed knew Wen Nianchu for a long time, and I didn't tell you before because I thought that was a matter between the two of you. As for me, I shouldn't openly dampen the spirits of your honeymoon phase. Besides, the things he was hiding wouldn't cause you any real harm, and you're not someone who detests the nobility anyway. Similarly, I've known him for quite a long time, and I thought sooner or later he would tell you himself. If you're angry, I can apologize, but to say it so harshly, it really hurts."
She spoke with such calm that Ruan Qiu felt that having not seen her for this time, Yao Qing had become even more composed than before.
She had always understood that in the eyes of others, she was just a flower set off by green leaves when next to Yao Qing, but she didn't care. Yao Qing was beautiful and outstanding, and she was willing to be her backdrop.
