Chapter 399: Chapter 220: The Eldest Sister’s Anger_3

Jiang Yi spoke without reservation, blurring the line between mockery and incitement.

Seeing Ran Qingchen’s brows furrow, Jiang Yi gently covered her own red lips, "Look at this mouth of mine, Master Jiang’s wife is still here; such jokes should not be made, otherwise Qingchen will end up hating her little auntie to death."

Ran Qingchen’s pretty face flushed, feigning indifference, "If Jiang Mo really has the ability to become Taoist Li’s crucible, I’d be too busy offering congratulations to be jealous."

"Master Jiang is so fortunate to have such a magnanimous wife; she’s not easy to find."

Jiang Yi winked at the man teasingly.

Li Guanshi looked at Ran Qingchen’s serenely beautiful cheeks and asked softly, "Your ’Love-void Realm’ seems to be gone, what happened?"

Hearing ’Love-void Realm’, Jiang Yi’s expression changed.

Her gaze fixed intently on Ran Qingchen, her eyes swimming with inexplicable emotion.

And Ran Qingchen was equally astonished, "How does Taoist Li know that I once realized the ’Love-void Realm’?"

"Do you even need to ask?"

Jiang Yi scoffed coldly, "Surely it’s her doing."

Ran Qingchen froze, her complexion turning unsightly, "Taoist Li, are you behind my realization of the Love-void Realm?"

Li Guanshi didn’t deny it, his voice as cold as the first snow, tinged with a trace of sadness, "Realizing the Love-void Realm is not necessarily a bad thing, girl. It’s good to have someone set your path for you. If you were left to your own devices, you might not make it to the other shore."

Leaving these words behind, Li Guanshi’s figure vanished within the carriage.

Ran Qingchen furrowed her brows in thought.

"Seven months, eh. One wonders which man’s embrace the number one beauty of the world will be in after seven months, just thinking about it is... "

Jiang Yi paused, her teasing words turning into a sigh, murmuring, "Such a pity."

——

The carriage stopped outside the gate of Liushan Division.

The badly injured Jiang Shouzhong was supported into a room.

Yuan Anjiang and Shan Dongchuan of Qingzhou’s Liushan Division, who had been waiting, approached Ran Qingchen and said, "Lord Ran, after you left, there have been some changes at the Su Family."

"What changes?" Ran Qingchen asked.

Yuan Anjiang spoke solemnly, "Su Family Master, Su Shanke, has disappeared."

Shan Dongchuan added, "Jin Ao caused havoc at the Su Family residence, stormed into the backyard, and failed to find Su Shanke. They only found the corpses of the steward and a few servants in Su Shanke’s residence. Later, upon pressing the Su Family, it was revealed that Su Shanke seems to have become a demon."

Hearing the conversation outside, Jiang Shouzhong remembered seeing Su Shanke’s crazed state in the closet, and even now, the memory sent chills down his spine.

What exactly was that creature.

"Alright, I’ve got it. You go investigate," she said.

Ran Qingchen at that moment was only concerned about her husband’s injuries, with no spare attention for other matters.

Walking into the room and seeing Xia He undressing Jiang Shouzhong, Ran Qingchen hurried forward, "Let me do it."

Xia He paused, then stepped back to stand aside.

But Ran Qingchen slightly regretted it; after all, undressing was a bit too intimate. However, since she had spoken, she could only bite the bullet and approach the bed.

Jiang Shouzhong’s expression was peculiar.

What had this woman gone through in Ancient Asura City?

Why did she feel so strange?

Jiang Shouzhong cleared his throat with a cough and said smilingly, "I can undress myself. You should go change your clothes, you look more frightening than I do."

Looking at her blood-stained dress, Ran Qingchen hesitated for a moment. Seeing that hot water had already been brought into the room, she called Jinxiu in and instructed, "Assist the young master with his bath, and find him some fitting clothes."

Seeing Xia He still standing in the room, Ran Qingchen’s brows frowned slightly. She said softly, "Miss Xiahe, Jinxiu will take good care of Jiang Mo, it’ll be alright."

"Mm-hmm."

Xia He nodded slightly, but remained unmoved.

She was rather straightforward, not having the cunning heart like a big sister, and would normally respond to Ran Qingchen’s hint under ordinary circumstances.

But at the moment, her concern for Jiang Shouzhong’s injuries left her oblivious to the other’s hints.

Ran Qingchen’s complexion turned sour.

What is this supposed to mean?

Refusing to leave my husband’s room, is it?

She could see now that this Xia He might truly be interested in her husband.

But since the other was stubbornly staying put, she couldn’t very well force her out. Recalling her younger sister-in-law Qu Hongling’s advice and warning, Ran Qingchen took a deep breath and told herself, "Don’t panic, be magnanimous."

Ran Qingchen put on a gentle face, smiled at Xia He, and left the room.

Before leaving, she specifically instructed the maid Jinxiu, "Tend to the young master well, and don’t leave his side."

"Oh, yes, of course." Jinxiu nodded repeatedly.

After Ran Qingchen departed, Jiang Shouzhong did not let Jinxiu help, and undressed by himself before diving into the bathtub. After all, Comrade Jiang was somewhat formidable, and it wouldn’t do to scare the young girl to tears.

The healing capability of the Taoist River Map was formidable; he was already able to move around.

Seeing Jinxiu’s little face blushing as she stood by the bathtub holding a towel, somewhat at a loss, Jiang Shouzhong laughed, "There’s no need to wait on me; I’m not some delicate young master. You go and busy yourself."

Jinxiu shook her head vigorously.

The missus had said to stay right by his side, so she must stay close.

However, the naive girl was easily bamboozled and lectured by Jiang Shouzhong, and he managed to confuse her out of the door.

With the human light bulb gone, the room now only contained Xia He and Jiang Shouzhong.

One might have expected a flood of words upon their meeting, yet the two of them fell silent once alone.

Xia He was naturally cold, and relying on her to speak was obviously out of the question, so Jiang Shouzhong had to break the ice, "Did you finish what you needed to do over there?"

"Mhm."

The girl nodded.

Dressed in her black outfit, she stood tall and spirited, like an ice sculpture, stark and peerless.
