Because although Hong Xin’s temper wasn’t good and was a little willful, but that was her true nature. As for Hong Lian, this daughter, she looked weak and fragile on the outside but her schemes were too deep and she was too good at disguising herself. If this kind of woman were to marry into another family, she would definitely be an excellent chess piece. However, in the Hong family, he had to be on guard!
“Father, Xin er is still young! When she’s older, she’ll be more sensible. ” Hong Lian consoled.
“I hope so! Lian ‘er, your body hasn’t fully recovered yet. Why did you come out? Quickly go back to your room and rest! I’ll come to see you when I’m done. ” The man said with a concerned look.
“Father, I’ve been weak and sickly since I was young. I’ve gotten used to it after so many years, so you don’t have to worry about me. If it wasn’t for my health, the relations.h.i.+p between our Hong family and the Yan family wouldn’t be like this. I’ve let you down, father. I’ve let the Hong family down!” Hong Lian’s beautiful eyes were filled with tears.
“Lian ‘er, how can you be blamed for this? Don’t think too much about it. ” The man consoled.
“But I …” Hong Lian seemed to want to say something, but he didn’t say it.
“Lian ‘er, you don’t have to say anything. Father understands! Quickly go back to your room and rest!” The man hurriedly said.
“Mm! Father! Then I’ll go back to my room first. ” After Hong Lian finished speaking, he gave a bow and left.
The moment Hong Lian left, the Butler walked in.
“Patriarch, what do you think we should do about this?” The Butler asked carefully. He knew that the master was not in a good mood, but the master had to give him instructions so that he could carry out the next step. After all, he did not dare to make decisions on his own!
“Did you send someone to inform the Yan clan?” The man asked coldly.
“I’ve already sent people over. Don’t worry, patriarch! However, what about the other three?” The Butler looked conflicted.
“What do you mean? Didn’t you already arrange for them to stay in the side courtyard?” The man asked in confusion.
“Master, what I mean is that second miss and them are like fire and water, and you’re treating them so well. I’m afraid it will affect the relations.h.i.+p between you and your daughter. So, I hope master will think twice.” The Butler reminded him in a low voice.
“You don’t need to worry about this matter. I know what I’m doing. You can leave!” The man said in a somewhat upset manner.
“Yes.” The Butler replied and turned to leave.
At night.
When Leng ruoxue and the demon walked out of the room, they saw Xue Ying sitting in the garden. The stone table in front of him was filled with all sorts of delicacies and Xue Ying was eating with great joy!
Looking at Xue Ying whose face was covered in oil, Leng ruoxue shook her head helplessly and said,””Xue Ying, pay attention to your image. It’s a pity that you have such beautiful long fur.”
“Xue ‘er, I know you’ve been drooling over my fur for a long time. Wait until I’m done eating, then I’ll wash it and let you touch it all you want!” Xue Ying laughed evilly. These things were all sent over by the attentive housekeeper, saying that it was for them to eat. However, Xue Ying was well aware that if it wasn’t for Leng ruoxue, they wouldn’t have been able to enjoy such good treatment! Even though the food was not as delicious as the one Xue ‘er made, it was still acceptable.
“You’re looking for death!” The moment the demon heard Snow Shadow’s words, his anger immediately surged up. He raised his leg and kicked in Snow Shadow’s direction. However, Snow Shadow dodged it nimbly.
“What a petty man, you’re so easily embarra.s.sed and angry, Wu…..Xue ‘er! He’s bullying small animals!” Xue Ying ran to Leng ruoxue’s side to seek protection.
A small animal? Leng ruoxue looked at Xue Ying, who had called himself a small animal, and could not help but laugh in her heart. To be honest, she had never seen such a huge small animal! If it became a small animal, then what would those smaller than it be called? A small animal?
“Xue ‘er! You have to protect me!” Xue Ying tugged at Leng ruoxue’s clothes fearfully.
“Don’t play around anymore. Be careful or he’ll really get angry. I won’t help you then!” Leng ruoxue helplessly reminded.
“You’re a woman who values her lover over her friends. I’ve misjudged you. ” When Xue Ying heard this, he immediately pouted and said in a very dissatisfied manner.
“Then I’ll value my lover over my friends, how’s that?” Leng ruoxue said disapprovingly. There shouldn’t be anything wrong with helping her man, right?
“What can I do? Don’t be so fierce!” Xue Ying’s little heart trembled in fear.
“You’re tactful!” Leng ruoxue chuckled.
“Xue ‘er, I won’t tease you anymore. By the way, I went out for a walk this afternoon. Guess what I found out?” Xue Ying said with a mysterious expression.
“Go out for a walk? With your giant fox appearance? No one wants to capture you as a Beastie?” Leng ruoxue sized up Xue Ying and asked curiously,”Oh! A fourth ranked sacred beast or higher seemed to be worth a lot of money, especially such a beautiful big fox. Presumably, many women would like it and want to keep it for themselves.
“Tsk, who dares to capture me? I can’t bite him to death!” Xue Ying said arrogantly.
“Xue ‘er, do you want to know what I’ve found out?” Snow Shadow continued to ask.
“If you want to say it, then say it. If you don’t want to say it, then don’t say it.” Leng ruoxue acted as if she didn’t care.
“Can’t you just cooperate?” Xue Ying said gloomily. Wu … Even Xue ‘er was bullying him!
“Alright! Xueying, what did you find out?” Leng ruoxue asked, pretending to be curious.
“I’ll tell you if you want to know. ” Xue Ying said with a hint of pride, his proud tail almost raised up.
“If you want to say it, say it quickly! I’ll roast you and eat you if you continue to talk nonsense!” When the demon saw Xue Ying’s smug look, he was so angry that he directly threatened him.
“Wuwu … Xue ‘er, he’s going to eat me!” When Xue Ying heard this, he looked at Leng ruoxue with tears in his eyes, seeking protection. However, he was completely ignored by Leng ruoxue.
“Then don’t keep us in suspense. There’s a limit to the patience of a demon!” Leng ruoxue reminded.
“Alright then!” Xue Ying cleared his throat and began to speak.
“I’ve heard that the Hong clan and the Yan clan were originally on good terms. However, the reason why they fell out with each other was because of the eldest miss of the Hong clan, the lady in purple, Hong Lian, whom we met this afternoon.”
“The head of the Hong clan had the intention to be in-laws with the Yan clan, and Hong Lian happened to have taken a fancy to the fifth young master of the Yan clan. However, the fifth young master of the Yan clan did not like her and rejected the marriage on the spot. Hong Lian was so angry that his old illness relapsed, and the head of the Hong clan also deeply felt that he had hurt the face of the Hong clan. Hence, from then on, he continuously caused trouble for the Yan clan. The robbery of the Yan clan’s first master this time was also because of this matter.” Snow Shadow explained with a smile. Of course, it had heard these words from the streets, and it had not verified whether they were true or false.
