Chapter 2609: Information
Ruan Mansion
Fang Yu Rong looked at the two pieces of cloth placed in front of her and thought about the words the person who delivered the pieces of cloth had said, then she whispered softly with a slightly surprised expression: “It’s her?”
She leaned against the table and pondered for a while, then she said to the people around her: “Go and call Third Young Miss here.”
“Huh? Why is this ice silk satin in our house? Mother? Where did it come from?” As soon as she entered, she saw the two pieces of cloth placed on the table, one of which was the one she saw when she was out today.
“Let me ask you this, did you meet a beautiful woman when you were out today?” Fang Yu Rong asked slowly, her eyes on her daughter.
“How did Mother know?” Third Young Miss Ruan was stunned. When she looked at the cloth, she suddenly realised: “I see, did that woman not dare to take the cloth and send it here instead?”
“Don’t talk nonsense!” She reprimanded in a low voice. “Tell me, what did the woman look like? She…. Does she not have cultivation?”
She was surprised by her mother’s att.i.tude. Even though she was puzzled, she replied: “She was quite good looking, but I don’t think she is as beautiful as Mother. As for the cultivation base, indeed she had no cultivation base, she looks like an ordinary beautiful woman. There was a boy and girl with her at the time, they were her children.”
Upon hearing this, she pondered, then she said to a middle-aged woman beside her: “Get someone to find out where she lives. In addition, prepare an invitation for her and her children to come to my birthday banquet.”
“Yes.” The middle-aged woman beside her responded, then retreated.
“Mother, why do you want to invite them? I don’t like seeing that woman.” Ruan San said in displeasure.
Upon hearing this, she frowned and said: “You are the Third Young Miss of the Ruan Family, you should pay attention to your words and actions. You should have more sense of what to say and what not to say, leave! Don’t go out these few days, stay home and help to prepare for the banquet.”
“Yes.” Upon seeing her mother’s moody face, she responded and retreated.
That night, Feng Jiu was lying on the bed thinking about today’s events. The more she thought about it, the more she found that the beautiful woman was truly unfathomable. When she sensed with her spirit intent that Xie Yutang, who was staying in the same courtyard, had fallen asleep, she got up quietly and changed into some black clothes, then went out quietly into the night…
After she avoided some of the dark guards in the mansion she was about to go to Patriarch Xie’s library to find the clues about the Immortal Ascension Ladder. When she pa.s.sed by the old man’s courtyard, she faintly heard the voices of conversation. Therefore, she gathered her breath and quietly came to the roof and saw two people sitting and talking through the slit.
It was Xie Yan and his father.
“This trip here, he wants me to act as the Third Elder of the Main Family and a.s.signed this South courtyard to us. In the eyes of others, this is an excellent thing, but even more so, it worries me even more!” The old man sighed and shook his head.
“I know what Father is worried about. I also know why the Patriarch and his family value our family so much.” Xie Yan said in a calm voice: “The Immortal Ascension Ladder only opens once a year, there is only about seven or eight months till the next time the Immortal Ascension Ladder appears! There are not many people in the Xie Family left with the strength to climb the Immortal Ascension Ladder.”
“It’s understandable that they have pinned their hopes on me. However, if the ancestors couldn’t climb the Immortal Ascension Ladder back then, I’m afraid what if something happens to me when I am on the Immortal Ascension Ladder, then…”
