When Yang Jing walked slowly into the small courtyard in the upper left corner of where she was staying, she saw Chen Xiaojun drinking leisurely under the moonlight.

Yang Jingxue raised her lips slightly, and chuckled, "Xiaojun, are you still enjoying yourself here?"

When Chen Xiaojun heard the voice, he immediately stood up, straightened his clothes, and then bowed respectfully, saying, "Grandma Xue, I wonder if everything is going well?"

Yang Jingxue crossed her arms and responded confidently, "Of course, if I, your grandmother Xue, personally take action, it will be a piece of cake."

"However, I am risking the breakup of my sisterhood by getting involved in this mess."

"Don't break your promise to me."

Chen Xiaojun quickly apologized with a smile: "Grandma Xue, what are you talking about? With the deep friendship between our two families, it is natural that once a word is spoken, it cannot be taken back. Once it is spoken, it is a nail."

Hearing this, Yang Jingxue giggled and said coquettishly, "That's good."

"Really? It's not easy to ask you for something. I feel like a beggar."

Chen Xiaojun hurriedly flattered: "Grandma Xue, you are naturally beautiful and have an extraordinary temperament."

"If you become a beggar, you will destroy many people's jobs."

Yang Jingxue rolled her eyes at him and said with a half-smile, "Oh, you are really sweet-mouthed and cunning like a fox. No wonder you made my little Yi dizzy."

Suddenly, he changed the subject, "Was all this today a carefully planned plan by you?"

Chen Xiaojun waved his hands innocently and said, "Grandma Xue, how is this possible?"

Yang Jingxue looked at Chen Xiaojun with burning eyes and said suspiciously, "Really? Why do I feel like Meng Lin told me that on purpose?"

"And when you were beside me and mentioned Xue Shiqiong, you smiled with your lips curled up. It was obviously intentional."

"Deepen my subconscious???"

After that, she gently stroked her hair, her figure swaying: "No wonder, after I woke up today, your face unconsciously appeared in my mind, and I subconsciously came to find you."

"Xiaojun, you are really good at this!"

……

Xue Churan narrowed her eyes and asked softly, "Sister, did you really agree to let Yang Jingxue go see Xia Qingyun?"

Xue Chuxin sighed softly, turned her white wrist slightly, and placed the celadon teacup on the table with lotus pattern: "Yes, the world is like a net, and some causes and effects cannot be avoided after all."

Xue Churan's face changed slightly, her jade fingers made the teacup creak, and she gritted her teeth and said, "I knew that Yang Jingxue, this slut, had no good intentions."

"At first, she secretly liked someone and was afraid to express her feelings. Instead, she fanned the flames everywhere and tried to matchmake people. It was really hard to stand."

Xue Chuxin smiled and said indifferently, "She likes someone, but she chooses not to marry for the sake of her family."

"Besides, she didn't disturb anyone's peace, so why do you have to dwell on the past?"

"Everyone has their own choices and frustrations, right?"

Women understand each other, and some things cannot be hidden from others, and are clear as day.

Xue Churan listened and sat down angrily. The sandalwood chair creaked suddenly. "I just can't stand seeing her act like this. It makes people feel uncomfortable."

"Anger blocks the eyes." Xue Chuxin picked up the "Nanxi Travel Notes" on the desk. The plain silk pages made the flower ornaments between her eyebrows look even colder.

"Choran, although Jingxue acts recklessly, she still has a sense of propriety in her heart and will not do anything too outrageous."

Xue Churan was stunned for a moment, hesitating: "I..." Xue Chuxin's lips were dimpled, and her gilded wristband crossed the cloud pattern on the table. She continued: "Jingxue's behavior this time is more like a lobbyist."

At this point, Xue Chuxin's eyes became deep: "If we were living in different places, we would never do this. The meaning of this muddy water is already very clear."

Xue Churan suddenly fell silent, and the pearl pendant on her ear emitted a messy light.

Her expression changed constantly, and she asked in a deep voice, "Lobbying agent? Are you talking about... the Chen family?"

Xue Chuxin nodded slightly, with a playful smile on her lips: "Shi Qiong returned to the clan, and Jing Xue came to visit right after."

Xia Chuxin's fingertips stopped at the four characters "空室生白" (empty room gives birth to white) in "南溪旅行记". The moonlight leaking in through the ebony window lattice shattered into stars in her eyes.

"Haha, the timing is really too coincidental."

After a while, Xue Churan suddenly grabbed the Jade Forbidden Step and asked, "Who could that be?"

Xue Chuxin tapped the teacup with her fingertips, her eyes slightly raised: "Such meticulous thinking, everything is linked together, every step is calculated delicately, but there is also a sense of urgency——"

The teacup landed on the tray with a clinking sound. "Isn't that the work of that brat from the Chen family?"

Xue Churan fiddled with the Jade Forbidden Step with her slender fingers, and said in a daze, "Xiao Jun? It's like his usual style, always likes to mix a little impatience into his calculations."

"That's right. Only this guy dares to make such a plan in secret."

The night wind was blowing outside the window, and Xue Chuxin suddenly chuckled, "This eagerness, isn't it a clear hint to me, or a way out?"

She rubbed her nails painted red gently, "That boy is the most open and honest, but..."

Before she finished her words, she bent over with laughter, and the hem of her pomegranate skirt swept across the mottled moonlight on the ground.

Xue Churan frowned: "Why doesn't he come in person?"

Xue Chuxin held the handle of Xiang Fei's bamboo fan in her bare hands and tapped the sandalwood table: "You may have lost your mind."

The fan suddenly unfolded, revealing a meticulously painted picture of a cat playing with a cat. "How old is he? How can a young man speak frankly? Naturally, he has to use the 'straightforward' Jingxue as a raft."

Xue Churan twisted her apricot yellow handkerchief and said angrily, "Sister, why are you laughing so happily?"

"Of course I'm happy," she suddenly stood up, with stars in her eyes, "Since he is willing to use such a roundabout method... plus the recent changes..."

Her soft hands covered her red lips, and the moon-shaped pendant on her earlobe shone with silver light. "It means you have acknowledged my position as the Second Wife!"

The teacup in Xue Churan's hand nearly fell over and she burst out laughing, startling the birds sleeping in the corridor so much that they fluttered onto the glazed tiles.

Xue Churan's eyebrows suddenly furrowed, "What about Brother Yu? If something happens to him, you and Shiqiong will be like kites with broken strings, without support?"

Xue Chuxin's face changed slightly, her heart was frying in oil, and dark tides surged in her phoenix eyes, "Brother Yu has good luck, and Xiuxin will treat him wholeheartedly, so he will be safe."

She suddenly raised her eyes, and the jade hairpin flashed a cold light in the light, "Besides, the focus of this matter is not on Brother Yu."

"It's Xia Qingyun, it's my uncle and aunt, and it's everyone in the Chen family."

"Besides, having an unknown person is enough!"

Jinbu: An ornament worn around the waist to press down the hem of the skirt, made of jade pendants of different shapes woven with colored threads, it is a symbol of etiquette and decoration.

"Travels to Nanxi": A very famous traveler and poet in history, also known as Nanxike, wrote this masterpiece after traveling all over Douluo Continent, similar to Xu Xiake of Blue Star.
