Chapter 171: Chapter 114 Learn something from your second sister_3

And was this not also a sort of "compensation" the Emperor gave to the Luo Family?

Knowing that you are harboring resentment, I will hand over this chief culprit to you for handling.

However, after Yuan Anjiang had argued several times, the Emperor finally issued an imperial decree, gave Jiang Shouzhong and Lu Renjia, among others, some rewards and also bestowed some gold, thereby effectively extending Jiang Shouzhong’s protection period.

——

As for the shifting sands of court politics, Jiang Shouzhong naturally couldn’t be bothered to pay attention.

He enjoyed his carefree days, either drinking with Lu Renjia or sparring with his brothers at Zhang Yunwu’s house, and occasionally wandering outside to let the two golden figures absorb the yin and yang energies.

However, in his heart, Jiang Shouzhong was always planning how to kill Nalan Xie.

Just as Jiang Yi had reminded him, though Nalan Xie was a dog of the Xichu Pavilion, his status was not low, especially with that dark-skinned grapes guard named Qing’er beside him recently.

Therefore, a foolproof plan was needed.

Having an expert like Mengniang help was impossible; despite her soft heart, this woman was resolute. Once she said she wouldn’t help kill someone, she definitely wouldn’t.

He hadn’t even considered asking Xia He for help.

The more one owes in terms of emotional debts, the more troublesome it is to repay them.

Speaking of Xia He, on the fourth day of losing her Life-bead, her spirit began to show signs of languor, but fortunately, she had absorbed some in advance, so the damage to her life soul was not significant.

But as time passed, the young girl finally began to falter.

In her movements, just like a deer running out of strength, she could barely conceal her fatigue, and the spiritual aura that once enveloped her was gone.

...

Inside the dimly-lit hut, a lamp was burning.

After dinner, Jiang Shouzhong looked at Yan Ruochenshuang, a pitiful young girl with a pale face, and said helplessly, "Miss Xiahe, there is really no need to be shy at this point. Preserving your life is more important."

Xia He kept her head down, her face showing no expression.

The last time she and Jiang Shouzhong were mouth to mouth was because she was anxious to save someone and find the bead, but as they grew familiar, she lost the courage she had before. She felt particularly conflicted about Jiang Shouzhong’s frequent reminders.

The man walked up to the girl, placing his hands gently on her shoulders.

The girl’s thick lashes trembled lightly, her slim body tensed up slightly, but she did not struggle to free herself as she had before.

Perhaps she also understood that what was meant to happen, would happen.

Jiang Shouzhong gazed intently at the beautiful face of the girl, and said softly, "Miss Xiahe, first I will help you restore some of the aura of your Life-bead. After that, there’s something I need to discuss with you. Rest assured, I won’t force you."

Xia He blinked, curious about what he wanted to discuss with her.

Seeing the man’s face coming closer, she instinctively wanted to step back, but hesitated and just closed her eyes instead.

The girl’s eyelashes quivered, her hands unconsciously clutching at her dress.

The next moment, her lips were sealed.

——

Under the night sky, the three sisters left Silver Moon Tower heading for Jiang Shouzhong’s home.

"Big sister, it’s been so many days. You don’t think our second sister and that Mr. Jiang are already holding hands, do you?"

The quirky Dong Xue, who had procured a sugarcoated haw from somewhere, teased as she ate, her pale pink lips glistening, looking sweeter than the sugarcoated haw itself.

Chun Yu replied irritably, "Do you think your second sister is like you? This time, since you finally came out, I’m taking you to see for yourself, so stop fantasizing all the time. Especially you, Qiuye."

"I... I wasn’t fantasizing."

Qiuye defended herself, blushing.

Chun Yu rolled her eyes in exasperation, "Can’t the lady see what I see? But don’t worry. Your second sister, with her cold nature, won’t let anything happen with Jiang Mo.

I have advised you more than once secretly. When you meet a man you like in the future, be reserved; don’t start holding hands just after meeting for a few days. Your big sister is an experienced old hand, I understand these men the best.

If you could be as clear-headed as your second sister, I wouldn’t have to worry.

In a moment, just open your eyes wide and watch how your second sister handles men. Learn from her."
