Chapter 417: Chapter 225 Jiang Yi’s Confidence_2

It could be said that aside from my master, everyone in the world thought that Mo Ruye’s child was a boy, and Jiang Wan was no exception. That’s why she approached my mother, hoping to arrange a marriage between our families."

Jiang Shouzhong furrowed his brows and asked, "Did your mother know that Jiang Wan’s child was a girl?"

Yeying nodded slightly, "Of course, she knew."

"She knew!?"

Now Jiang Shouzhong was truly dumbfounded, "Your mother knew Jiang Wan’s child was a daughter, but still signed a marriage contract with her? Why? Was she planning to use this marriage contract to hide the fact that you are a girl?"

"Maybe so, in any case, the marriage contract was thus settled."

Yeying slowly said, "And before she died, my mother left me a final wish, that I must marry Ran Qingchen.

She also warned that Jiang Wan had left a Heartless Sword core within her daughter’s body, rendering Ran Qingchen unable to feel love once she reached the Love-void Realm."

She cautioned me not to fall in love with Miss Ran, for emotions aren’t limited to just feelings between different genders.

I don’t know what my mother’s true purpose was in insisting that I marry Ran Qingchen, nor do I intend to accept. Even when I rescued you from Anhe Village, I had no intention of having you replace me to fulfill my mother’s last words."

But later on, I still let you go."

Because there were some questions I couldn’t investigate or understand, I ultimately decided to use you to reach out to the Ran Family."

Speaking to this point, Yeying let out a sigh,

"That is why I’ve always emphasized to you, not to fall in love with Ran Qingchen. You can like her, but she’s unable to return your feelings, unless the Heartless Sword core within her shatters. Otherwise, in the end, it will be you who gets hurt.

Having deeply researched the ’Love-void Realm’, I know it doesn’t erase emotions, but rather suppresses them..."

Hearing this, Jiang Shouzhong finally understood.

No wonder he had always felt that Qingchen was somewhat unpredictable, as if there was a wall between them, so that was the reason.

However, following that, the man was engulfed in confusion again.

Ever since her return from Ancient Asura City, Qingchen seemed to have changed.

"Anyway, I can’t predict matters of the heart, I can only remind you as much as I can."

Yeying looked straight into the man’s face, speaking with utmost seriousness, "But on the flip side, if there comes a moment when you truly find yourself falling for her, don’t hold back because of any concerns. Better to face it head-on than to waver and get hurt even more."

"I understand now."

Jiang Shouzhong nodded, then suddenly asked, "Yeying, do you like me as well?"

Smack!

A rap on the man’s head.

By the time Jiang Shouzhong came to his senses, the silhouette of the woman was no longer in the room.

"Liking me isn’t something bad, why be so angry and embarrassed." Jiang Shouzhong rubbed his head, muttering under his breath.

"Thump thump..."

After a while, a knocking sound came from the door.

Jiang Shouzhong opened the door only to see Xia He standing there, looking charming as life.

——

"Aunt Xia?"

In the study, pouring over documents, Ran Qingchen looked up in surprise at the appearance of Jiang Yi at the doorway.

"Are you busy?"

Jiang Yi, with a light gait and a warm smile, gracefully entered the study.

As her robes fluttered, a refined and clean fragrance spread, making the ink aroma in the room more fragrant; for a moment, the entire chamber brightened,

Ran Qingchen rose to her feet and asked, "Do you need something, Aunt Xia?"

Jiang Yi’s visit to Qingzhou had already surprised Ran Qingchen, particularly because the lady had boldly moved directly into the Liushan Division, making the woman feel that her aunt was once again deliberately trying to seduce Jiang Mo to target her.

So even though they were in the same compound, Ran Qingchen tried to avoid her as much as possible.

"Can’t I come to see my niece without a reason?"

Jiang Yi sat down nonchalantly on a chair, her eyes moving playfully, and her stunningly beautiful face carried a hint of teasing.

Ran Qingchen frowned slightly, a bit helplessly she said, "Could it be that Aunt Xia has come specifically to mock Qingchen again?"

"It seems in your heart, your aunt is quite bad."

Jiang Yi’s laughter was like silver bells, pleasant as the sound of spring water trickling. During her mirth, her ample bosom rippled, highlighting the curves of the woman.

Ran Qingchen said self-deprecatingly, "It’s not that Aunt Xia seems so bad in Qingchen’s heart, but rather... Aunt Xia has never shown a sliver of affection for Qingchen. Since my earliest memories, Aunt Xia has never visited me on her own, and every meeting is filled with cold mockery."

"Now you mention it, it does seem to be the case."

Jiang Yi remained poised, casually lifting her pure white wrist, brushing a stray lock of hair from her shoulder with a smile, "It appears I truly am not fond of you, my niece."

"Get to the point, why are you looking for Qingchen?"

Ran Qingchen looked at her evenly, "It can’t be about Jiang Mo again, can it?"

"You guessed it."

The beautiful woman’s gaze roved, tinged with a playful and profound look, she stared intently at the young girl in front of her, as if trying to peer into her thoughts.

Ran Qingchen’s expression shifted slightly.

She took a deep breath, settled back into her chair, and asked with a cold demeanor, "Which of your subordinates do you plan to send to seduce Jiang Mo this time?"

"Love-void Realm... why has it disappeared?"

Jiang Yi played with her hair, suddenly asking a peculiar question.

"Does Aunt Xia think it shouldn’t have disappeared?" Ran Qingchen responded with her own question.

"Correct."

Jiang Yi’s lips held a smile.

Ran Qingchen clenched her fists tightly, unable to hold back the anger in her heart any longer, she asked coldly, "Why, in Aunt Xia’s eyes, should Qingchen be doomed to a solitary life? Why does Aunt Xia think that Qingchen doesn’t deserve love and affection? Why is it that Aunt Xia never wishes for Qingchen to be happy!?"

Jiang Yi didn’t respond, only quietly observing the young girl who was lashing out at her for the first time.

The glossy black hair twisted elegantly between the woman’s delicate fingers as if it were the supplest silk thread, setting off her skin to appear as white as snow.
