Chapter 285: Chapter 285: Great Wisdom Appears Foolish

With Ruan Hongzhuang’s smooth talking, it only took a short while for their relationship to recover, and they became close as you and me, the best of friends.

Ruan Hongzhuang took Jiang Taoshi’s hand and said, "I specially reserved a room for you. Take a look later and see if you like it, and if anything is missing, just tell me, and I’ll go buy it for you."

"Really? Take me to have a look." Jiang Taoshi replied with a face full of surprise.

"Aren’t you going to see Dou Dou?"

"She won’t run away anytime soon, let’s check out the room first."

Alright then, she made it sound like the room would run away or something.

Nevertheless, Ruan Hongzhuang did take her to see the room she had arranged for her.

The room Ruan Hongzhuang had set up for Jiang Taoshi was actually the second bedroom of the house, which was quite large, with not only a separate dressing room but also a private bathroom.

The entire room was decorated in pink by Ruan Hongzhuang because she knew Jiang Taoshi liked this color.

On the headboard were a few cute little ornaments, some ceramic, and some trendy toys. Besides those, there was a TV, a gaming console, and a clothes hamper.

"Knowing that you like to throw your clothes around, I specially prepared this for you. Just take off your clothes and throw them into the hamper," Ruan Hongzhuang said with special care.

"No way." Jiang Taoshi said, but she was still very touched by Ruan Hongzhuang’s thoughtfulness.

"Knowing you like to hug something when you sleep, I specially prepared a hugging pillow for you." Ruan Hongzhuang pointed to a pink dolphin hugging pillow on the bed.

"Thank you, Ruan Ruan, you really are so thoughtful," Jiang Taoshi said, moved.

"Take a look, is there anything else you need prepared?" Ruan Hongzhuang asked again.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Taoshi looked around and for a moment didn’t know what else was missing, finding herself at a loss.

"If you can’t think of anything, let’s not worry about it, we’ll figure it out later if we need to."

Ruan Hongzhuang’s words were like coaxing a child, but Jiang Taoshi was really receptive to this approach, nodding again and again in agreement.

She kept saying, "Ruan Ruan, you’re so nice, Ruan Ruan, you’re so considerate..."

"Let’s go, I’m going to see Dou Dou," said Ruan Hongzhuang.

"Okay, but before that..."

Jiang Taoshi pounced onto the bed, rolling around twice. She was wearing a pale yellow sleeveless bud dress which, because of its bud shape, had a very loose hem.

So, as she rolled on the bed, not only did her two fair, fleshy legs show, but even her pink underwear was exposed.

Though Jiang Taoshi was not fat, she certainly wasn’t skinny; she was that kind of plump little girl, giving off a cute and voluptuous vibe.

After rolling on the bed, Jiang Taoshi then got up feeling completely satisfied.

"Okay, now we can go see Dou Dou."

"Alright."

"I’m going to stay here tonight."

"Okay."

"I want you to sleep with me."

"Sure."

"Hehe~ Ruan Ruan, you’re so nice."

"Then will you still get mad at me in the future?"

"No more, no more, it was all my fault..."

Jiang Taoshi took Ruan Hongzhuang’s arm, looking extremely affectionate.

Ruan Hongzhuang went to the children’s entertainment room and gently knocked on the door, which was quickly opened from the inside.

Dou Dou was the one who opened the door, and when Jiang Taoshi saw her, she subconsciously stiffened, even applying a bit more force to the hand that was wrapped around Ruan Hongzhuang’s arm unintentionally.

But Dou Dou didn’t notice these things; her smile was as radiant as the sunshine.

"Welcome," she said.

"Thank you," Ruan Hongzhuang replied as she reached out to touch her little head.

To be honest, she was also a bit nervous inside, but when she thought about her relationship with Shen Siyuan, she would be their mistress in the future, how could she be afraid just because of such a trifle?

"Hi hi hi~"

Dou Dou stepped aside to let them enter the room.

Then they saw Xiao Yue reading a book and Dou Dou lying on the ground playing with a toy train.

"Woo woo woo... all aboard, all aboard..."

She was even providing sound effects for the train with her little mouth.

She was so engrossed in playing that she didn’t notice Ruan Hongzhuang and Jiang Taoshi’s arrival at all.

It wasn’t until Jiang Taoshi called out to her that she responded with an "oh" and lifted her head, looking towards the source of the voice with a bewildered face.

She stared blankly for quite a while, seemingly taking some time to react before grinning and flashing a big smile.

Then she said, "Aunt, do you want to come and play with the toy train with me?"

Seeing her like this, Jiang Taoshi sighed in her heart, genuinely perplexed about what kind of chores Shen Siyuan could have possibly given her.

Nevertheless, she verbally agreed: "Sure."

Following that, she walked over and sat on the floor to join Dou Dou in play.

"Choo-choo-choo... Stop and eat, stop and eat..."

Ruan Hongzhuang: ...

So, she approached Xiao Yue and said, "Tell me what books you want to read, or you can tell your brother."

Xiao Yue looked up at her, then responded with a thank you.

Ruan Hongzhuang smiled and said, "We’re all family here, no need for such courtesy."

This time, however, Xiao Yue didn’t look up again, seemingly engrossed in the world of her book.

Yet Ruan Hongzhuang didn’t continue the conversation; instead, she walked over to Jiang Taoshi.

Only after she left did Xiao Yue lift her head to glance at her once more, but she quickly averted her gaze again.

Ghosts, aside from the memories of their living days, have very fleeting memory in death, retaining only a few things for a long term.

If humans are likened to a computer, then ghosts are the operating system—with no hard drive for storage and no memory, they cannot preserve memories, nor engage in much deep thinking.

That’s why many ghosts are seen repeating some of their behaviors from life after death.

However, Xiao Yue and the others are not ordinary ghosts; they are Fan Souls from the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, and Fan Souls can even practice Ghost Cultivation Techniques to enhance their power, let alone something as simple as memory.

Therefore, when Xiao Yue reads, she truly absorbs knowledge from the books, and her being a ghost doesn’t mean she will forget it after a while.

And reading is Xiao Yue’s greatest hobby.

No one stayed long at Shen Siyuan’s home.

Lin Jianming and his wife were wary of disturbing Shen Siyuan’s rest, and since they lived just next door, they could visit any time they wished.

Meanwhile, Ruan Xiangqian, having received an Elixir Pill from Shen Siyuan, was eager to return home to take it, and Jiang Yingxue naturally accompanied him back.

As for Jiang Taoshi, she was going to settle accounts with her cousin and ultimately chose not to stay.

However, Duoduo and Dou Dou both stayed behind as they wished to play a little longer before going home.

Suddenly, the house that had been bustling with activity quieted down completely.

Of course, the premise was that Dou Dou and Duoduo stayed in the children’s entertainment room and didn’t come out.

"Did Jiang Taoshi leave as well?"

"She left?"

"Didn’t she ask you?"

"No."

Shen Siyuan found this somewhat surprising.

Ruan Hongzhuang laughed and said, "Taozi might seem a little slow, but she’s actually very wise. She doesn’t care much about trivial things on a daily basis, but she really knows when to draw the line."

Their conversation centered around the issue of Jiang Yingxue’s sudden change in youth. After understanding Shen Siyuan’s identity, Jiang Taoshi must have guessed it was Shen Siyuan’s doing.

Youth is tempting to women of any age, but Shen Siyuan hadn’t expected that Jiang Taoshi would not inquire with Ruan Hongzhuang.

At that moment, Jiang Taoshi was storming into her cousin’s house, furious.

It was Jiang Wenxin who opened the door for her.

"I know everything... I know everything..."

Her face flushed with anger, she strode into the house, not even bothering to take off her shoes.

"Hi... Aunt."

She then saw Dou Dou holding a small axe, swinging it around in the living room as he performed martial arts for Tao Guangsha.

"Er..."

Jiang Taoshi looked behind her, then at Dou Dou, and for a moment she was a bit stunned.

"Why are you here?"

Are ghosts really that powerful?
