Chapter 224: Chapter 137 Miss Ran Really Doesn’t Care_2

"You say the palace, that kind of place with a heavy yin aura, is almost like having been a widow for so many years. Her temper must be very solitary and dark, prone to kill people at the slightest pretext. Now she’s coming for you, could it be something good?"

"If you slightly vex her, she might just skin you alive. Oh right, this woman also fancies handsome men, and you, my boy, with your good looks—if you become the queen’s favorite, you’ll end up chained inside the palace. Would you like that kind of life?"

Jiang Shouzhong stared at Jiang Yi with a face full of suspicion. "My lady, do you have a grudge against the queen?"

"Believe it or not, it’s up to you."

Jiang Yi rolled her eyes playfully.

Although Jiang Shouzhong was more skeptical than shocked, he couldn’t help feeling uneasy and wondered if he should leave the Capital tomorrow to hide for a while?

...

In another room, the four sisters, Chun Yu, Xia He, Qiuye, and Dong Xue, gathered together and whispered among themselves.

Xia He knew she couldn’t keep her situation from her eldest sister, so she revealed that she had lost her life pearl.

Upon hearing this, Chun Yu was greatly alarmed, repeatedly confirming the loss of the pearl, and was on the verge of taking a knife to Jiang Shouzhong to search for it in his belly.

"You fool, how could you be so stupid?"

Chun Yu’s pretty face turned the color of iron as she fumed, "Do you not realize that with the life pearl gone, your life is in jeopardy as well?"

Xia He said, feeling wronged, "I didn’t think too much at the time; I just wanted to heal his wounds and then take it back. But who knew that once the life pearl entered Jiang Mo’s body, it disappeared? However, thankfully, Jiang Mo accumulates some of the life pearl’s aura every once in a while, and after I absorb it, I recover."

"What injury?" Chun Yu asked, puzzled.

Xia He blushed and hesitated for a long time before she relayed the sequence of events.

Chun Yu almost fainted.

She looked at her second sister, who was innocent as a sheet of paper when it came to affairs of men and women, and trembled with anger as she scolded her, "How could that thing just be snapped off so casually? You believe whatever the doctor says? Can’t you take it out and check for yourself?"

Xia He hesitantly responded, "But... but I think it must have been broken. Because at that time, he really was in severe pain. And I also pulled on it a few times with quite a bit of strength."

Pulled on it a few times?

The faces of the three women in the room turned a tad peculiar.

Even Qiuye didn’t know these intimate details, and she felt a bit sour inside hearing them now.

Dong Xue, curious, blinked her bright eyes and asked, "Second sister, his... about how big is it?"

"I... How would I know? It was roughly this big..." Xia He’s cheeks reddened as she gestured, then immediately hid her foot, huffing, "Measure it with a ruler yourself."

Chun Yu slapped away Dong Xue’s hand and furrowed her eyebrows, asking, "Did he see a doctor for it?"

Xia He shook her little head.

Chun Yu almost gasped for breath, suppressing her anger, she said, "That thing is very important to a man. If it were really injured, he would definitely have seen a doctor right away. Why should you worry about it? It’s clear that Jiang Mo tricked you! You think you’re not foolish, but had I known, I would have dealt with this myself!"

Chun Yu’s chest was filled with roaring fury.

She had once thought Jiang Mo was a gentleman, but no, alas, he turned out to be a hypocrite.

He had deceived her innocent second sister so smoothly, why didn’t he try to deceive me, the experienced one? If you can even touch my finger, I’ll consider you impressive!

Xia He was taken aback, then thought about it and felt it made sense, but recalling what Jiang Mo had said, she pouted her rosy lips and said, "Actually, Jiang Mo didn’t deceive me, it was I who got it wrong. Moreover... afterwards, he also said he would marry me, to take responsibility for me."

"Yeah, Jiang Mo is quite a good guy," Qiuye nodded in agreement.

Dong Xue also chimed in with the banter, "Yeah, quite big."

"Big your head!"

Chun Yu slapped back at her.

Looking at her two sisters who were already deep in their folly, Chun Yu regretted all the more that she hadn’t been more assertive in their place.

This Jiang Mo was too deceptive.

No, they couldn’t stay here any longer; who knows, even the lady could fall for his charms.

But the question was, what to do about Xia He’s life pearl now?

Even if you tell the lady, what can you do, you can’t really cut open Jiang Mo’s belly, can you?

Chun Yu also ran out of ideas for a moment.

Dong Xue rubbed her head that had been knocked by her eldest sister and whispered to her second sister, "Second sister, remember to give me a heads up before Jiang Mo kisses you next time."

"Dong Xue!!"

Chun Yu’s eyes were filled with murderous intent.

The young girl shrunk her pink neck and said sheepishly, "I was just speaking casually. Oh, by the way, elder sister..."

Suddenly recalling something, Dong Xue spoke in a low voice, "Do you remember when I was young, my life’s pearl went missing, and then you slept with me in your arms for a night. The next morning, it appeared again. Maybe... you could try sleeping with Jiang Mo in your arms tonight? Who knows, the pearl might come back."

"Impossible! This situation is completely different from that time!"

Clasping her hands on her willowy waist like branches, Chun Yu said sternly, "Moreover, how could I, a maiden, sleep with a man for the entire night? What would people think!"

In a low voice, Qiuye said, "If Jiang Mo is going to marry you, then he can sleep with you. You are the eldest sister, so you can sleep with her too. What’s the difference between Jiang Mo sleeping with her and you sleeping with Jiang Mo?"

"..."

The elder sister was a bit dizzy from being confused.

——

Perhaps having received news from Jinxiu, Ran Qingchen hurried over before the sun had set.

Watching Jiang Yi, who was full of smiles and laughter in the courtyard, Ran Qingchen clenched her fists, took several deep breaths, and put on an ugly smile as she approached and asked, "Auntie, what brings you here?"

"What, not happy to see your auntie?"

Jiang Yi, who had somehow found a fishing rod, sat leisurely by the pond fishing, although there wasn’t a single fish in it at the moment.

Ran Qingchen’s expression darkened, and she said with a smile, "Of course I welcome you, but why didn’t you go to the Ran residence instead of coming here?"

"Jiang Mo is here."

Jiang Yi answered briskly.

Furrowing her brows, Ran Qingchen recalled what Jiang Mo had said earlier and spoke with some resignation:

"Auntie, do you really find it amusing? Although Jiang Mo and I have the title of husband and wife, we have no such reality. Even if you want to disgust me deliberately, there’s no need to go to such lengths. Won’t people laugh if word gets out?"

"Come sit."

Jiang Yi pointed to the stool where Jiang Shouzhong had sat before.

Ran Qingchen hesitated for a moment before sitting beside her.

Both women were stunning beauties in their own right, one youthful and ethereal, the other radiant and mature, like a green lotus and a grand peony blossoming side by side, creating the most dazzling sight in the courtyard.

"Do you really dislike this auntie of yours?"

Jiang Yi asked with a smile.

Ran Qingchen was just about to shake her head when, thinking of the other’s actions over the past few days, she bit her pink lip and ultimately nodded, "A little."

"A little means you’re quite unhappy."

Jiang Yi sighed, "To be honest, I don’t detest you, young girl. It’s just that your background has always puzzled me, so my feelings towards you are very complex, but overall, I don’t like you."

"I understand, but this has nothing to do with Jiang Mo. Besides, your dislike for me doesn’t affect me in the least," Ran Qingchen replied coldly. "To say something unpleasant, your behavior in my eyes is almost childlike. Whether this courtyard is filled with women or even if you shared a bed with Jiang Mo, I wouldn’t care in the slightest."

Jiang Yi gently lifted the fishing rod and said indifferently, "If you’re going to say that, then I won’t hold back."

She turned to Chun Yu, who had just walked out of the house, and said, "Chun Yu, go and sleep with Jiang Mo tonight."

Chun Yu: "??"

Ran Qingchen: "??"
