Chapter 197: Chapter 125: Tie Him Up Tonight! _2

He felt he could no longer continue like this; he had to make things clear with that woman. Considering her domineering ways, however, whether she would listen was another matter.

Jiang Shouzhong was incredibly troubled.

His words, however, shocked everyone else present.

Ran Qingchen thought that Jiang Mo was going to ask her aunt for her hand in marriage, and her expression suddenly turned ugly. She moved her lips but didn’t know what to say.

Qiuye thought the same.

The young girl’s heart pounded, almost bursting out of her chest.

The eldest sister had been right; taking the initiative would pay off. Even if the lady did not agree, the fact that Jiang Mo was willing to propose showed he did not dislike her, quite the opposite, he liked her.

That was enough...

She didn’t necessarily need Jiang Mo to treat her particularly well; not being disliked was enough.

People are always very tolerant of their first loves, always thinking about getting more but also satisfied with just a little bit of effort from the other side since emotions at this time are very pure and cannot bear any impurities.

Ran Qingchen pursed her bright red lips, staring straight at her husband, and asked, "Are you really going to talk in person?"

Jiang Shouzhong nodded seriously and said, "Whether it’s Qiuye or Xia He, perhaps in Jiang Yi’s eyes they are just maids, always ready to be used as tools. But in my heart, they are very good girls who should not be disrespected or aggrieved."

Upon hearing this, Qiuye was immensely moved.

The second sister was right; even as a concubine, Jiang Mo would treat her well, respect her from the heart. With such a good man, what wasn’t there to be satisfied with?

And Ran Qingchen was feeling very dejected.

She couldn’t pinpoint the source of this sadness.

After all, she had also clearly stated her attitude, hoping that Jiang Mo would take a new wife, but now that it was actually happening... it just didn’t feel right.

Strangely, she thought of the kitten her uncle had given her when she was sick as a child.

She didn’t like cats, not at all.

So even though the kitten was cute, she still didn’t like it.

But since it was her own, she always took care of it. Afraid that the servants would neglect it, she always fed the kitten herself, helped to wash it, and took great care in protecting it.

More than once, she had told her uncle to find a better owner for the kitten.

Eventually, her uncle found one and took it away.

But she regretted it.

When she woke up in the morning, instinctively bringing food to the kitten’s nest and staring at the empty nest... the sense of loss forcibly brought tears to her eyes.

But Jiang Mo is Jiang Mo, and a cat is a cat; they are not the same.

Ran Qingchen didn’t know what to say for a moment, got up, and said gloomily, "I have other matters to attend to, I’m going back now."

She somewhat regretted the words she had spoken to Jiang Mo in the carriage back then.

She didn’t even know what she was thinking at the time.

But on second thought, those words weren’t a problem; she and Jiang Mo were never possible, and it was normal for him to have a new bride, so why bother fretting over it too much.

"I don’t mind, I don’t mind..."

Ran Qingchen muttered to herself twice in her heart, trying to make herself feel better.

Yet back in the carriage, her mood was still down.

"Qingchen!"

Just as the carriage was about to move, Jiang Shouzhong suddenly caught up.

He lifted the curtain and said, "Qingchen, actually both Qiuye and Xia He were just following orders; they were quite helpless. So I hope you don’t hold it against them. Of course, you probably don’t mind. But after all, it hurts your dignity a bit, and you might still be somewhat angry."

The reason Jiang Shouzhong came all the way to say this was because he noticed Ran Qingchen’s unusual expression, and suddenly remembered the last time at Ran’s residence, when he saw her slap Xia He.

Worried that Ran Qingchen would take her anger out on Qiuye, he quickly made his intentions known.

Honestly, his lady was sometimes unpredictable; previously at the Liushan Division, that young master Yang was proof enough.

Looking at the apologetic look in his eyes, Ran Qingchen was a bit puzzled, "Following orders?"

Jiang Shouzhong was taken aback, "You didn’t notice?"

Jiang Shouzhong continued, "Remember what happened with Xia He last time? And you should also know what kind of person Qiuye is. If it wasn’t for Jiang Yi forcing them, would Xia He try to seduce me? Would Qiuye intentionally make you lose face?"

Ran Qingchen’s eyes suddenly brightened.

So that was it.

Deeply annoyed with herself, she should have figured it out sooner, yet she still fell for her aunt’s tricks.

Although angry, the gloom and despondency deep inside her were swept away in that moment. Her lips involuntarily lifted into a slight smile, her previously dull face brightening beautifully, radiantly stunning.

Ran Qingchen chuckled, "That Qiuye really got me; when she said those things, I didn’t care at all, I was even happy. But now knowing she was just acting, it’s kind of disappointing."

Jiang Mo helplessly said, "I am planning to have a serious talk with Jiang Yi, otherwise she might cause trouble again, sending Chun Yu and Dong Xue to seduce me just to upset you. I really am scared of that woman."

Feeling relieved, Ran Qingchen waved her hands generously, "It’s okay, even if my aunt herself tries to seduce you, I won’t mind."

"Of course I know you don’t mind, otherwise you wouldn’t be in a hurry to find me a new bride."

With a laugh, Jiang Shouzhong continued, "Actually, I understand your thoughts; you are just afraid I will cling to you and hinder your spiritual path. But don’t worry, Qingchen, it was originally my fault, so however you choose, I will support you.

Let’s do this; I’ll try to marry a new wife as soon as possible and bring her in front of you. Then you should finally be assured."
