2377 I Won’t Let Her Suffer

This is indeed not a real peach blossom. Chu Liuyue had stared at it in detail for some time, but she couldn’t tell what exactly it was made with.

After rubbing away the faint layer of pink, its interior had a strong blending of two colors that contrasted strongly—bright gold and dark black.

She placed this peach blossom in her hand. When the wind blew, it turned into powder and went with the wind.

Chu Liuyue looked at it in a daze, and there was actually a feeling of loss in her heart.

She looked outside. In this Fantasy Divine Hall, who else is watching me in secret? What exactly is behind that wall?

…

During this time, Xiao Ba brought Lady Shiyi and Lady Shi’er and swept the few mountains before they left in satisfaction.

When they returned to the yard, Xiao Ba’s lips curled up. “Go, bring the items to your Brother Fengchi.”

“Okay.” Lady Shiyi acknowledged her and pulled her sister to find Jian Fengchi.

After a moment, a miserable cry came from the room. “So many?!”

After a while, Lady Shiyi walked out from the room and nodded to Xiao Ba. “Eighth Sister, Brother Fengchi already agreed to help us produce it.”

Xiao Ba blinked. “Was it with Little Hongyu’s help?”

The two ladies nodded.

Xiao Ba clicked her tongue. “I didn’t expect Eldest Young Master Jian, who walked through the garden for so many years and was never tainted, would one day be under someone’s control.”

As she spoke, she walked forward with small steps.

Lady Shiyi looked behind her and suddenly yelled, “Eighth Brother-in-Law.”

? ? ? ? ? ?

Yan Qing, who had just walked out of the room, looked stunned for once on his usually cold and handsome face. He almost instinctively looked at Xiao Ba at the side.

When Xiao Ba heard this, she staggered back and almost fell to the ground.

The corner of her lips twitched as she stared at Lady Shiyi. From the corner of her eye, she did see Yan Qing standing by the door.

The gaze he looked over with… Mm…

Xiao Ba felt embarrassed for once and hurriedly said, “Sister Shiyi, don’t randomly address him like that! He’s not your Eighth Brother-in-Law!”

It’s fine if we lie to outsiders, but how could my own family members misunderstand?

Previously, she walked away too hurriedly and forgot to explain this to the two ladies. In the end, such an awkward scene was produced.

However, Xiao Ba never expected that an even more awkward scene was awaiting her. That was because Lady Shi’er spoke.

Lady Shi’er glanced at Xiao Ba in confusion, and then at Yan Qing. She softly said, “But Eighth Sister, didn’t you say just now that Eighth Brother-in-Law is extraordinarily handsome and outstandingly talented and that other people could not compare to him?”

Even though her voice was soft, the entire yard was silent, and everyone present could hear her clearly!

Xiao Ba clutched her chest and almost fainted on the spot. Twelfth Sister! It’s not entirely good when your memory is so good! Even if you have to say it, you really don’t have to accurately repeat every single word!

Xiao Ba wanted to casually joke about it like before and tease him to cover the incident, but her heart was beating crazily, and she could not say a word. Every time she wanted to speak, her mind would be filled with the image Yan Qing bending down and squatting in front of her to help her wear her shoes.

Her pink face started burning again, and she felt extremely warm.

There was never a moment like this where she wanted to find a hole and hide inside!

“I-I just said that! Actually, Yan Qing and I—”

“Hm?” Wu Yao, who just came back from outside, walked to the door and heard these few sentences. He was immediately stunned and knitted his brows. “Xiao Ba, why didn’t you talk about this previously?”

Xiao Ba is actually with Yan Qing? Why don’t I know at all? Did they get together during the few months they were at Fantasy Divine Palace?

“Do Big Brother and the rest know?”

Xiao Ba said with difficulty, “Fifth Brother, you’ve… misunderstood.”

Wu Yao said in disagreement, “You should’ve told us about this in advance. That way, everyone can help you take a look, right? What if you meet someone bad?”

Wu Yao had never considered that before. Only Xiao Ba could make people upset, and nobody ever hurt her.

A crack finally appeared on Yan Qing’s face that was an ice mountain for years.

Just as he was about to speak, Wu Yao already looked over, and his gaze was filled with judgment and supervision. From head to toe, from left to right, from inside to out, he looked at Yan Qing several times.

Appearance? Mm, acceptable.

Figure? Mm, barely.

Abilities? Mm, forcefully.

After looking at him for so long, Wu Yao realized that… he could not pick out much about Yan Qing. Hence, he kindly said, “Our Thirteen Yue Guards have very high expectations for Xiao Ba’s future husband, but since Xiao Ba likes you, we can lower our criteria appropriately. After all, her wishes are the most important. However, our Xiao Ba has been spoiled by us and can’t be aggrieved. You have to take good care of her in the future! If I know that you made her unhappy in any way…”

Xiao Ba felt completely hopeless as she twisted her stiffened neck and looked left and right.

Lady Shiyi asked, “Eighth Sister, what are you looking for?”

Xiao Ba: “A shovel…”

I better dig a hole for myself since I can’t stay here any longer!

Lady Shiyi was speechless.

Helpless, Xiao Ba weakly clung onto Wu Yao’s arm. “Fifth Brother… Fifth Brother… stop talking…”

If he continues, I really can’t face Yan Qing in the future.

Wu Yao stared at her and gave her a look. What’s your problem!? I haven’t even gotten angry that this Yan Qing secretly stole our Xiao Ba. Shouldn’t I be able to teach him a lesson and educate him?!

“I won’t make her unhappy.” A cold voice suddenly sounded.

Xiao Ba was dazed and looked over strangely.

Yan Qing said, “I won’t let her suffer either.”
