Chapter 428: Chapter 228: Oblivious to the Heavens in Drunkenness

After the lantern festival ended, Ran Qingchen returned to the Liushan Division.

When she arrived at the small courtyard where Jiang Shouzhong lived, she found no one inside. She thought he might have gone out with Xia He to enjoy the lantern festival and hadn’t yet returned, which made her feel somewhat downhearted.

Just as she was about to leave in disappointment, a faint cry drifted through the night.

"Sister..."

Ran Qingchen was startled, turned her head, and saw a girl in a red dress, waving at her from a distant tree branch—it was Qu Hongling.

In the night, the girl in the red dress seemed like a sprite under the moon, carrying with her three parts moonlight and seven parts of a celestial aura.

Ran Qingchen was startled and quickly walked over with haste.

"Sister."

Qu Hongling silently swooped down from the tree.

"Don’t talk now." Ran Qingchen looked around and, not noticing any patrolling guards from the Liushan Division, felt a bit more at ease.

She then took Qu Hongling’s hand and hurried through the corridors, quietly making her way to her own room.

After closing the door, Ran Qingchen flicked the girl’s smooth forehead and said with dissatisfaction, "You really are bold, daring to sneak into the Liushan Division at night."

"Didn’t sister say that I can come find you whenever I miss you?"

Qu Hongling didn’t seem to care, clutching Ran Qingchen’s arm and said with a giggling smile, "Besides, with my cultivation, who could detect me?"

Ran Qingchen earnestly advised, "Still, you must be more careful. If you really want to come, you can disguise yourself. No one can detect your Demon Energy, and with my help to cover for you, it’s safer."

"Mm-hmm, next time I’ll come to see you openly and honorably."

Qu Hongling’s smile was sweet.

Ran Qingchen gently stroked the girl’s delicate nose and softly asked:

"You haven’t encountered any trouble these couple of days, have you? I heard the Su Family Master, Su Shanke, has gone missing, and that guy was also considered your enemy once."

"I know, but I don’t feel like dealing with him for now. I need to go back to the Ten Thousand Mountains."

"You’re going back?"

"Yes, so I came to say goodbye to you."

Qu Hongling hugged Ran Qingchen’s slightly cool figure, rubbed her cheek against the other’s chest, curved her lips into a mischievous smile, and said, "I also came to see if sister has listened to me and accepted brother-in-law."

"You still have the nerve to say that."

Ran Qingchen said sullenly, "We have no possibility anymore."

"Ah?"

Qu Hongling suddenly lifted her head from Ran Qingchen’s embrace and asked in confusion, "Why is that?"

Ran Qingchen laughed at herself, "It’s my own fault for missing the chance. Anyway, it’s not like how you analyzed it, Jiang Mo... he actually quite likes that girl, and since they’ve already been intimate, they’re likely to get married."

"How could this be?"

Qu Hongling felt somewhat unhappy.

Her sister was a ravishing beauty that was one in a million; how many men in the world could find someone like her? That man must be blind.

To ignore such a big watermelon and go pick sesame seeds instead.

Might as well let me castrate him!

The more Qu Hongling thought about it, the more it didn’t sit right with her, and curiously she asked:

"Sister, didn’t you say before that your brother-in-law and that girl called Xia He had no feelings for each other? How did they develop feelings so quickly?"

Ran Qingchen sighed, "The specific situation is a bit complicated, it seems it was due to an accident that led to their relationship. My husband originally wanted to take responsibility, but Miss Xiahe was unwilling. Now, it seems they have feelings for each other and are planning to marry."

"This does sound complicated."

Qu Hongling frowned and pondered for a long time, then suddenly slapped her palm and said brightly, "I get it!"

"What do you understand?"

Ran Qingchen was puzzled.

Qu Hongling pulled Ran Qingchen to sit down by the bed and asked, "That Miss Xiahe must be quite beautiful, right?"

Ran Qingchen nodded her head, "She is very beautiful."

"That’s right."

Qu Hongling took off her shoes, tucked up her legs, and started to analyze, "Sister, let me tell you, it’s the nature of men, once tempted by a beautiful girl, even if they start off as a gentleman, with time it’s hard to guarantee they won’t be lured."

Earlier you said that Xia He deliberately seduced your brother-in-law to anger you. But you, you did nothing, leading your brother-in-law to believe you had no feelings for him. Under such circumstances, do you think he would still have the confidence to persist?

Therefore, I conclude that at some point, you completely broke his heart, which allowed Miss Xiahe to step in and then something happened between them in their confusion.

And since your brother-in-law is a sentimental person, in this situation, he could only be responsible for Miss Xiahe, don’t you think?"

Listening to Qu Hongling dissect the ins and outs, Ran Qingchen found it made a lot of sense.

She had indeed behaved too artificially before, unwillingly blessing them, which led to the current situation.

She had brought it upon herself.

Ran Qingchen sighed, "Talking about this now is useless."

"How can it be useless?"

Qu Hongling explained seriously, "At least it proves that your brother-in-law still likes you, and hasn’t fallen out of love."

Ran Qingchen gave a bitter smile, "What difference does it make? Jiang Mo does value feelings, that’s true, but now that he’s been with that girl, he ought to take responsibility for her, you can’t expect him to be an irresponsible cad, can you?"

"Sister, would you mind having an additional concubine in the house?" Qu Hongling suddenly asked.

Ran Qingchen was taken aback.

What did she mean by that?

Was she expected, as the respected daughter of the Ran Family, to share a man with another woman?

How could that be?

Ran Qingchen had her pride.

Furthermore, she was naturally haughty, or else she wouldn’t have rejected so many outstanding suitors.

"I mind, I won’t share my husband with other women."

Ran Qingchen expressed her views straightforwardly.

Qu Hongling understood the answer, then asked again, "Didn’t you say before that you initially planned to marry your maidservant to your brother-in-law, is that right?"
