C769 Another rotting peach flower 769

This must be the princess that the steward had mentioned.

Yan Yuan noticed the curiosity and surprise in Liu Ruo Qing's eyes, smiled and shook her hand, and said: "This is royal aunt Lanruo."

Grandaunt Lanruo?

The surprise in Liu Ruo Qing's eyes became even more intense.

She had heard from the royal sister-in-law that this Grand Princess was the younger sister of the late emperor. Twenty years ago, she had married into the Profound Destroying Nation.

Now that she heard the words' Aunt Lan Ruo ', it really gave her quite a shock.

Seeing her stunned, Yan Yuan laughed softly and patted her hand: "This is a long story, I'll tell you about it later."

"Alright."

Liu Ruo Qing nodded and looked towards Nuo Lan. She stood up and bowed, "Greetings, Aunt."

"No need for formalities."

Liu Ruo Qing did not know who Xi Ya was, and since Yan Yuan did not introduce him, Liu Ruo Qing did not pay any attention to him, thinking that she was Nuo Lan's servant.

When Xi Ya saw that Liu Ruo Qing and Yan Yuan had ignored him at the same time, she felt a little disgruntled and dissatisfied in her heart. When she looked at Liu Ruo Qing, the hostility in her eyes grew even stronger.

Especially when she saw her cousin smiling so gently at this woman, she couldn't help but feel jealous.

She didn't know that her cousin's smile could be so gentle to such an extent. She had thought that her cousin could be so distant from everyone and was as cold as an iceberg that had been covered in snow for tens of thousands of years.

He would also feel warm, but the person facing him was not her.

Xi Ya, who was placed under her sleeve, gently clenched her fist, puckered her lips, and did not say a word.

She quietly looked at Yan Yuan as she imagined his face. If he had showed her that smile just now, how would she have reacted?

Perhaps, at that moment, she would be willing to do whatever her cousin wanted her to do.

Liu Ruo Qing sat beside Yan Yuan and was very close to him. Naturally, Liu Ruo Qing noticed the gradually burning gaze from Yan Yuan.

She quietly turned her gaze towards Xi Ya, who was only paying attention to Yan Yuan and didn't notice her gaze at all.

Sigh, Yan Yuan this guy has gotten himself another peach, and he's even a cousin.

Let them be, Yan Yuan and Xi Ya, this pair of cousins were not allowed to be blood related with each other within the third generation, but in this era, it was impossible to explain what kind of cousins they were.

Although his family's Yan Yuan didn't have any intentions towards this cousin, but it couldn't stop this cousin from thinking about him.

Was this fellow born to attract peach blossoms?

Liu Ruo Qing sighed in her heart, but did not say anything. As long as this person did not overdo things, who wouldn't have a crush on a few people?

Right now, the most important thing to do was Yan Yuan's wound. Although she hadn't figured out the situation, she had a feeling that it wasn't as simple as just his superficial wound after all.

"Xiao Jiu, Xi Ya said that she can treat your injuries. She has learned a few years' worth of medical skills from Dong Dan, how about you let her see it for you?"

Hearing Nuo Lan talking about him, Xi Ya immediately withdrew her infatuated gaze from Yan Yuan's face. She only waited calmly for his reply, but there was still a bit of anticipation in her eyes.

Yan Yuan's eyes finally turned to her. He did not seem to be the kind and gentle one, but he did not seem to be overly cold, just like how he would normally treat people, "You know how to?"

Xi Ya had originally wanted to say that she could try, but seeing that Yan Yuan's pair of deep eyes were attracted to hers, she was not willing to let him underestimate her. Her hesitant reply became certainty as she nodded to Yan Yuan, "I will."

Nuo Lan's gaze, carried a somewhat strange expression as he looked towards Xi Ya. His brows knitted slightly, but in the end, he still didn't say anything.

"Why didn't I hear you mention it on the way back to the capital?"

Yan Yuan asked with no additional expression on his face.

Xi Ya's expression turned stiff for a moment, but very quickly, she covered up her unnatural stiffness, and only heard her say: "I saw that cousin you haven't been in a good mood the entire way back, I didn't dare say anything more, for fear of making you unhappy."

She looked a little uneasy as she leaned towards Nuo Lan's side. She was completely different from the girl who was staring at Yan Yuan with burning eyes from the start.

Liu Ruo Qing was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but Yan Yuan was already older than her by more than ten years.

This piece of skin that Yan Yuan has is truly harmful.

But Sixth and Eighth Brother were not inferior to Yan Yuan in terms of looks, how could those two not have as many peach blossoms?

Liu Ruo Qing came to a conclusion that Yan Yuan only recruited peach blossoms for his physique, there were a lot of rotten peach blossoms around him.

Yan Yuan still wanted to say something, but he saw a vague smile on Liu Ruo Qing's face, and it was unknown what she was smiling about. Once again, he ignored Xi Ya, and asked: "What are you laughing about?"

"Huh?"

Liu Ruo Qing was startled, she raised her hand and subconsciously touched the corner of her mouth, was she smiling?

"Did I laugh?"

"You are smiling very happily."

Yan Yuan smiled as he raised his hand. He pinched Liu Ruo Qing's cheek, and the look in his eyes naturally softened.

Nuo Lan looked at the husband and wife showing their love as if no one else was around, especially her nephew who only had the shadow of his wangfei in his eyes.

She looked sideways at Xi Ya, and sighed in her heart. It was unknown what this girl was thinking, but the truth was right in front of her eyes, so what else could she possibly hope for.

The steward had long gotten used to these two masters' inhumane display of affection in the prince's mansion, so when he saw that the situation in front of him wasn't considered much, he very calmly stood to the side.

Xi Ya, on the other hand, was once again disregarded by Yan Yuan, causing him to clench her teeth in anger.

Wasn't cousin talking to her just now? Why did he ignore her?

Was this Crown Princess Jing trying to seduce her cousin on purpose to take away his attention?

Xi Ya thought that Liu Ruo Qing was laughing for no reason, it was definitely on purpose, but due to anger in her heart, she could not let go of the fact that her fingernails had gouged out blood in his clenched fist. She just looked at Liu Ruo Qing with even more hostility.

Liu Ruo Qing looked at the smile on the corner of Yan Yuan's mouth. Although she was an old man's wife, she couldn't stand Yan Yuan's gaze the most.

She just felt that her man had too many peach blossoms. Shouldn't she be crying? How could he still laugh? Furthermore, he even caught him red-handed.

"Cousin."

Xi Ya finally couldn't hold back and called out, interrupting the couple's line of sight.

Yan Yuan frowned, although he looked unhappy on the surface, he did not show it on Nuo Lan's face.

When her gaze landed on Xi Ya, the gentleness in her eyes had already disappeared. Even though Xi Ya wanted to borrow the opportunity when he was looking at Liu Ruo Qing to capture the gentleness that had yet to pass away, she still couldn't do as she wished.

That hint of gentleness that belonged solely to Liu Ruo Qing disappeared too quickly. As long as it left Liu Ruo Qing's face, that gentleness would disappear in an instant and no one would be able to get a share of it.
