Because although Hong Xinâs temper wasnât 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!
âFather, Xin er is still young! When sheâs older, sheâll be more sensible. â Hong Lian consoled.
âI hope so! Lian âer, your body hasnât fully recovered yet. Why did you come out? Quickly go back to your room and rest! Iâll come to see you when Iâm done. â The man said with a concerned look.
âFather, Iâve been weak and sickly since I was young. Iâve gotten used to it after so many years, so you donât have to worry about me. If it wasnât for my health, the relationship between our Hong family and the Yan family wouldnât be like this. Iâve let you down, father. Iâve let the Hong family down!â Hong Lianâs beautiful eyes were filled with tears.
âLian âer, how can you be blamed for this? Donât think too much about it. â The man consoled.
âBut I ...â Hong Lian seemed to want to say something, but he didnât say it.
âLian âer, you donât have to say anything. Father understands! Quickly go back to your room and rest!â The man hurriedly said.
âMm! Father! Then Iâll go back to my room first. â After Hong Lian finished speaking, he gave a bow and left.
The moment Hong Lian left, the Butler walked in.
âPatriarch, what do you think we should do about this?â 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!
âDid you send someone to inform the Yan clan?â The man asked coldly.
âIâve already sent people over. Donât worry, patriarch! However, what about the other three?â The Butler looked conflicted.
âWhat do you mean? Didnât you already arrange for them to stay in the side courtyard?â The man asked in confusion.
......
âMaster, what I mean is that second miss and them are like fire and water, and youâre treating them so well. Iâm afraid it will affect the relationship between you and your daughter. So, I hope master will think twice.â The Butler reminded him in a low voice.
âYou donât need to worry about this matter. I know what Iâm doing. You can leave!â The man said in a somewhat upset manner.
âYes.â 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,ââXue Ying, pay attention to your image. Itâs a pity that you have such beautiful long fur.â
âXue âer, I know youâve been drooling over my fur for a long time. Wait until Iâm done eating, then Iâll wash it and let you touch it all you want!â 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 wasnât for Leng ruoxue, they wouldnât have been able to enjoy such good treatment! Even though the food was not as delicious as the one Xue âer made, it was still acceptable.
âYouâre looking for death!â The moment the demon heard Snow Shadowâs words, his anger immediately surged up. He raised his leg and kicked in Snow Shadowâs direction. However, Snow Shadow dodged it nimbly.
âWhat a petty man, youâre so easily embarrassed and angry, Wu.....Xue âer! Heâs bullying small animals!â Xue Ying ran to Leng ruoxueâs 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?
âXue âer! You have to protect me!â Xue Ying tugged at Leng ruoxueâs clothes fearfully.
âDonât play around anymore. Be careful or heâll really get angry. I wonât help you then!â Leng ruoxue helplessly reminded.
âYouâre a woman who values her lover over her friends. Iâve misjudged you. â When Xue Ying heard this, he immediately pouted and said in a very dissatisfied manner.
âThen Iâll value my lover over my friends, howâs that?â Leng ruoxue said disapprovingly. There shouldnât be anything wrong with helping her man, right?
âWhat can I do? Donât be so fierce!â Xue Yingâs little heart trembled in fear.
âYouâre tactful!â Leng ruoxue chuckled.
âXue âer, I wonât tease you anymore. By the way, I went out for a walk this afternoon. Guess what I found out?â Xue Ying said with a mysterious expression.
âGo out for a walk? With your giant fox appearance? No one wants to capture you as a Beastie?â Leng ruoxue sized up Xue Ying and asked curiously,âOh! 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.
âTsk, who dares to capture me? I canât bite him to death!â Xue Ying said arrogantly.
âXue âer, do you want to know what Iâve found out?â Snow Shadow continued to ask.
âIf you want to say it, then say it. If you donât want to say it, then donât say it.â Leng ruoxue acted as if she didnât care.
âCanât you just cooperate?â Xue Ying said gloomily. Wu ... Even Xue âer was bullying him!
âAlright! Xueying, what did you find out?â Leng ruoxue asked, pretending to be curious.
âIâll tell you if you want to know. â Xue Ying said with a hint of pride, his proud tail almost raised up.
âIf you want to say it, say it quickly! Iâll roast you and eat you if you continue to talk nonsense!â When the demon saw Xue Yingâs smug look, he was so angry that he directly threatened him.
âWuwu ... Xue âer, heâs going to eat me!â 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.
âThen donât keep us in suspense. Thereâs a limit to the patience of a demon!â Leng ruoxue reminded.
âAlright then!â Xue Ying cleared his throat and began to speak.
âIâve 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.â
âThe 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 clanâs first master this time was also because of this matter.â 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.
