Chapter 226: Chapter 139: To Seek and Not Get, To Get and Not Want

Due to some considerations, Jiang Shouzhong had not informed Ran Qingchen about Yelü Miaomiao, and when he came to this small courtyard, Jiang Shouzhong had warned Xia He and the others to keep Yelü Miaomiao’s identity a secret.

So even though Jinxiu knew there was a woman in the house, he didn’t know her specific identity.

It wasn’t that Jiang Shouzhong didn’t trust Ran Qingchen, but after all, she was a court official, and now her husband was planning to send the enemy country’s princess back, which would undoubtedly be difficult for her.

Not knowing was actually better.

On the contrary, Jiang Shouzhong did not hide it from Jiang Yi.

Firstly, Xia He and Qiuye were utterly loyal to Jiang Yi and would have spoken sooner or later. Secondly, it was necessary to get Jiang Yi to arrange a pass and a false identity; otherwise, it wouldn’t be easy to get Miaomiao out of Dazhou.

Furthermore, Jiang Shouzhong also found a suitable disguise for Yelü Miaomiao through Jiang Yi to avoid trouble.

What surprised Jiang Shouzhong was that before leaving, Ran Qingchen had a secretive talk with Jiang Yi, and he didn’t know what Jiang Yi had said. Ran Qingchen first showed an annoyed expression, argued for a few sentences. Then Ran Qingchen seemed contemplative, and surprisingly, she took Jinxiu away when she left.

This made Jinxiu, who was wholeheartedly hoping to become a concubine, very sad, looking back three steps at a time as she left.

Er Liang was also tearful looking at her.

Originally, she had hoped to learn cooking from this sister, but she had not expected to miss the chance so quickly.

Jiang Shouzhong felt baffled and asked Jiang Yi, "What did you say to Qingchen?"

Jiang Yi examined the man up and down with her phoenix eyes until Jiang Shouzhong felt uncomfortable, then she smiled and said, "I didn’t say much; just teased Miss Ran a few times."

Jiang Shouzhong frowned at her.

Suddenly, Jiang Yi stepped closer, the scent of orchids wafting, a flirtatious manner by her side, and she gently patted the man’s shoulder with her fair and soft hand, smiling beautifully, "Matters arise and the heart shows its colors, matters fade and the heart follows into emptiness... Your wife, ah, will sooner or later suffer a great loss."

...

The next day, a continuous light rain began to fall from the sky.

The delicate threads of rain intertwined into mist, falling upon the bamboo leaves by the pond, rustling like silkworms softly feeding on mulberry leaves.

When Yan Changqing arrived, Jiang Shouzhong was practicing his boxing in the courtyard.

The fierce punches, each time they passed through the mist, would break open ripples, exploding countless water droplets in the air.

Jiang Yi sat in front of the pond, again boringly fishing.

Xia He held an umbrella beside her, while the other three women stood under the eaves. The delicate and pretty figures of the young girls interwove with the silent spring rain to form a picturesque scene.

Zhang Que’er was meditating in her room.

Er Liang had nothing to do and sat on the kitchen threshold, with her hands propping her chin and watching Jiang Shouzhong box, engrossed, occasionally pondering what delicious meal to prepare for the evening.

Yan Changqing sized up the small courtyard and clicked his tongue, "Lucky brat, your fortune is getting thicker and thicker, surrounded by wives and concubines, cultivation greatly improved, even the place you live is so luxurious... I’m quite envious indeed."

"Master!"

This time, Jiang Shouzhong did not call him "Mr. Yan" but openly assumed the role of a disciple.

Jiang Yi glanced over and continued fishing.

"Go, go, go, what master, you didn’t even perform the formalities of apprenticing," Yan Changqing said disdainfully, "moving house and not even leaving a note on the old door, you made me search far and wide."

Jiang Shouzhong chuckled, "Master and disciple are connected by heart; even at the ends of the earth, Master would be able to find me. As for the apprenticeship gift, I’ll definitely make up for it with a good one later."

"Spare me those words for the ladies; saying them to this old man, it’s quite distasteful."

Yan Changqing snorted in annoyance and squatted down by the pond, looking at a dead fish hooked onto the fishing rod, and curiously asked Jiang Yi, "Why wouldn’t you just catch a few live fish and throw them in to fish with?"

Jiang Yi simply replied, "Silly, can’t catch them."

Yan Changqing was momentarily at a loss for words.

Bang!

At that moment Zhang Que’er’s room door suddenly opened.

A delicate slight figure shot out of the room like a fish leaping from a bowl.

Upon seeing Yan Changqing by the pond, whose appearance was plain and unremarkable, Zhang Que’er hesitated, suppressing her excitement as she asked, "May I ask if you are the renowned Sword Demon Yan Changqing?"

Yan Changqing shook his head, "No."

Zhang Que’er was stunned.

Yan Changqing uncorked a bottle to smell the escaping fragrance of the wine, then smiling said, "What renowned Sword Demon, I’m just a little swordsman who barely understands the rudiments of swordsmanship."

Thud!

Zhang Que’er knelt on the ground.

Raising her snow-white delicate chin, the girl said loudly, "Sword Demon, I am Zhang Que’er, and I wish to become your disciple!" She then performed three kowtows with sincerity, her forehead turning blue and purple from the impact.

The girl was very earnest, but Yan Changqing seemed to not see, instead looking at the fishing rod in Jiang Yi’s hand, curiously asking, "How many pounds of fish can this rod catch?"

Jiang Yi tilted her head in thought, then shook it, "Don’t know."

Yan Changqing stroked his chin for a moment, then turned to Jiang Shouzhong and said, "Kid, take off your clothes."

Take off his clothes?

Jiang Shouzhong was puzzled.

"Hurry! Just the top," Yan Changqing glared and urged.

Not understanding what the other wanted to do, Jiang Shouzhong still removed his top, revealing his well-built upper body.

Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter looked at the man’s taut, muscular, and bronze skin, their faces flushed with a touch of red.

Qiuye turned her face away, Dong Xue covered her eyes with both hands, peeking through her fingers stealthily. The next moment, she was forcefully turned away by her elder sister, Chun Yu.

"What’s there to see," Chun Yu rebuked in a low voice.

Dong Xue whispered in dissatisfaction, "Then why are you still looking?"

Chun Yu gave an ample reason, "As your elder sister, I have the experience, of course, I can look."
