Chapter 455 New Clothes
Chapter 455 New Clothes
After Qingshu left, the room suddenly became quiet, leaving only the soft breathing of Linchuan and Liyue.
"Are you worried that they might fight?"
Li Yue turned her head slightly and looked at Lin Chuan beside her.
"Ah."
Lin Chuan nodded slightly, with a hint of worry on his face. He stretched out his long arms and gently embraced Li Yue in his arms.
"You deserve it. Who told you to be greedy? We were getting along pretty well before. Except for Xu Hanyi, everyone else saw through it but kept quiet. You had to break the last layer of window paper."
Li Yue grumbled slightly and bit Lin Chuan's arm with a little force.
"But I don't want to neglect any of you. I want to see you around every day."
Lin Chuan gently stroked Li Yue's hair, his eyes full of affection.
"..."
Li Yue released Lin Chuan's arm, turned her head slightly away, a blush on her cheeks, and said softly, "Anyway, I...I'll do whatever you say. But as for Xu Hanyi, you're not allowed to confront her without my consent."
"The showdown will come sooner or later, Sister Li should be mentally prepared."
Lin Chuan reached out and tucked the loose hair on Li Yue's temples behind her ears, his eyes full of seriousness.
"Anyway, just don't tell Xu Hanyi for now. I'll think of a way to deal with her first."
Li Yue lowered her eyes slightly, her long eyelashes casting a shadow, making it difficult to see her emotions at the moment.
"Okay, just take your time."
Lin Chuan nodded slightly, then slowly stood up and took out a new set of robes from the storage space.
"Are you going out?"
Li Yue frowned slightly, staring at Lin Chuan.
"Well, go out for a walk and stretch your muscles."
Lin Chuan nodded and looked at Li Yue gently.
"You're so worried about them, is there some blood feud between them?"
Li Yue's eyes moved, and a ripple of curiosity appeared in her eyes.
"That's not true."
Lin Chuan shook his head slightly, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
"..."
Li Yue was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Then wait, I'll go with you."
"Sister Li, aren't you afraid of being discovered by the senior sisters?"
Lin Chuan raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes full of surprise.
"I'm afraid, but I'm more afraid that they'll start fighting and accidentally slap you to death."
Li Yue gave Lin Chuan a look, her fingertips slid across the storage space, and she took out a brand new dress.
"I'm not that weak now, okay..."
Lin Chuan looked at Li Yue who was putting on her clothes and said helplessly.
But then he seemed to have thought of something, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, "I just realized that Sister Li's talent is even greater than Master's. She actually made everyone wear new clothes by herself."
Hearing this, Li Yue's fingertips froze as she pinched the ribbon of her skirt. A blush crept up her cheeks from her ears. Her voice unconsciously became weak, tinged with annoyance and shyness. "It's...it's all because of you..."
"Yes, yes, it's my fault. Why didn't I realize Sister Li had such talent before? Is it because of Qingshu?"
Lin Chuan raised a mischievous smile at the corner of his lips, and looked at Li Yue's reaction vaguely, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.
"Don't say it!"
Li Yue frowned slightly and walked quickly to Lin Chuan's side. She twisted his waist lightly with her fair fingers. Her face was filled with anger and her beautiful eyes were shy. She looked both angry and annoyed, which was particularly moving.
……
The drizzle was like silk, slanting across the window lattice, making a soft rustling sound. The candlelight in the room swayed gently in the breeze, the light and shadow flickering.
Jiang Wanying leaned on the soft couch, slowly flipping through the ancient book in her hands with a focused expression.
Suddenly, she seemed to realize something, raised her eyes abruptly, looked towards the door, a hint of doubt flashed in her beautiful eyes.
"..."
After hesitating for a moment, she finally took light steps and walked towards the door.
As the door slowly opened, a beautiful figure came into Jiang Wanying's sight.
"I thought you weren't going to open the door."
Qingshu raised the corner of her mouth slightly, with a hint of ridicule in her eyes.
"Achuan asked you to come?"
Jiang Wanying's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of inquiry flashed in them.
"Qin Lang said he would prepare a table of food and let us have a good chat. I thought it was too much trouble, so I came over to talk to you myself."
Qingshu's eyebrows were curved, her tone was gentle, and her beautiful eyes were full of sincerity.
"I have nothing to talk about with you."
Jiang Wanying turned her face slightly to the side, with no expression on her delicate face.
"Okay, then I'll go back first, so that Qin Lang won't worry about us."
Qingshu nodded, then turned around swiftly.
"..."
Jiang Wanying's eyes flashed with a trace of struggle, her eyebrows knitted slightly, and she hesitated for a moment. Finally, she sighed slightly and said softly, "Come in and talk."
She turned slightly to the side, with a look of helplessness in her eyes, and motioned Qingshu to come into the house.
"Then I'm sorry to bother my sister."
Qingshu raised the corners of her lips slightly, with a faint smile in her eyes, and walked towards the house.
Jiang Wanying frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure flashed across her eyes, but she didn't say anything more. She just raised her hand silently and closed the door.
In the room, two people sat opposite each other, with light and shadow interweaving on their faces.
"Tell me, how do we talk?"
Jiang Wanying raised her eyebrows slightly and broke the silence first by asking a question.
"From what I know, my sister seems to allow Qin Lang to have other people around him, but why is she so hostile to me?"
A probing look flashed in Qingshu's eyes, and her gaze fell straight on Jiang Wanying's face.
"First of all, I don't approve of the relationship between you and Ah Chuan, so we are not sisters. Secondly, even if I approve, why should I be your sister? As for the question you just asked..."
Jiang Wanying sneered, her tone becoming increasingly cold, "Do you need a reason to hate someone?"
"No, but why did you change your mind and invite me in?"
Qingshu curled the corners of her lips slightly and met Jiang Wanying's gaze.
"..."
Jiang Wanying paused for a moment, pursed her lips, and said after a while, "You've asked your first question. Now it's my turn to ask you."
"Okay, ask." Qing Shu nodded slightly, her eyes calm.
"Have you known my master for a long time?" Jiang Wanying leaned forward slightly, staring at Qingshu.
"She didn't tell you what happened between her and me?" Qing Shu raised her eyebrows slightly, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
"Master only told me to take Achuan away from you." Jiang Wanying had no expression on her face and spoke in a cold tone.
"That's right, this is what she would do." Qing Shu nodded, her tone full of understanding.
"Stop talking nonsense and tell me what you know." Wanying's eyes were cold and her tone was firm.
"Then I'll start from when I first met Qin Lang..."
Qing Shu slowly stood up and walked towards the window with light steps. The fine rain had quietly stopped, and not far away, two blurry figures came into view.
……
"Sister Li, can you come a little closer? I can't hear what they are saying clearly."
Lin Chuan tugged at the corner of Li Yue's clothes, his eyes revealing a hint of anxiety.
"No, Qingshu has already spotted me at this distance. If I get any closer, Wanying will definitely notice me too."
Li Yue shook her head slightly, a hint of caution in her eyes.
"Okay, then Sister Li, can you hear what they are saying?"
Lin Chuan turned his head to look at Li Yue beside him, his eyes full of anticipation.
"certainly……"
However, just as he was halfway through his words, Li Yue seemed to have noticed something and his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.
"???"
Just as Lin Chuan was puzzled, a familiar voice came into his ears.
"So my husband is here! This isolation formation is so well-designed. If I hadn't known he was nearby, I wouldn't have noticed him."
A purple-winged butterfly flapped its wings and quietly landed on Lin Chuan's shoulder.
