Where prosperity ends, flowers never end

Chapter 258: Jianghu Suddenly Enters

The past of the two is very complicated. Su You is the daughter of the leader of the martial arts world. She is strong by nature, dares to love and hate, is kind-hearted and can stand on her own, but she can't learn the affectation of girls, so she has always been suppressed by the third owner of Xiushui Tower.

The third floor owner made soup, had sex, danced, mended clothes for Hong Fan, and even carefully researched medicinal food for him, but these were all things Su You had done before, and were imitated by others to please them, but she didn't know how to justify herself, not to mention that she suffered greatly from those despicable means. So in Hong Fan's eyes, she has always been a hypocritical and bad woman who would do anything to achieve her goals.

But even though the third floor master had schemed and slandered her and framed her, he was just a clown. After all, he was nothing in front of Ran Qianxi, not even as good as one of her fingers.

Hong Fan: "Do you really want me to make my words so clear? What's the difference between you and a woman like Leng Huiqing?"

Ran Qianxi, who was completely confused, had not left Chongzhi even half a meter away…

"Um...you two should talk it out..."

She knew that the woman in front of her was Hong Fan's wife. When she had met her once in her previous life, she had thought she was a well-behaved and law-abiding woman. But now it seemed that she was quite different from what she was then.

Hong Fan glanced at Ran Qianxi and walked straight over. Su You turned around and followed his gaze as if she had lost her soul.

"Who is he?"

He pointed at Chong Zhi unceremoniously, and at the same time Ran Qianxi seemed a little unhappy.

"Why don't you care about your wife and brother Chongzhi's quarrel?"

Hong Fan explained: "She is not my wife, A Qian."

Ran Qianxi stroked her eyebrows impatiently.

"Morning and evening."

Then, without saying anything more, he and Chong Zhi walked out of the yard.

"I'll treat the young master to a good meal, let's go."

Time passed little by little, and the days before the Spring Festival were relatively peaceful. Finally, on New Year's Eve, the Ran family was full of laughter and joy, but the Jibei Palace was deserted. It was not the people who were lonely but the festive atmosphere.

It was not yet night but Tan Qianhuan kept looking outside the study. He hoped that Ran Qianxi would suddenly appear, even if it was just to say Happy New Year.

Qi Shuang was serving pen and ink on the side. He knew that there would be a bloody battle after the New Year and he didn't know how to avoid it, so he was naturally in a very heavy mood.

"Your Majesty, you have been busy all day. Take a rest during the New Year."

"It doesn't matter. I don't know how long these things can be handled."

Qi Shuang didn't understand what he meant, so he could only wait quietly on the side.

It was getting dark, and he had been waiting for a whole day but his sweetheart had not arrived. He wanted to take a break and have a meal, when suddenly a figure of bright red walked in holding a dragon paper lantern.

"Tan Qianhuan, are you still busy?"

She took a few steps forward convinced and smiled speechlessly.

"No, don't you have a life?"

Hearing her familiar tone and the voice he had been thinking about day and night, Tan Qianhuan raised his head and his eyes suddenly wandered, because the helpless voice was hazy in his ears. He asked Qi Shuang anxiously: "Can you see Xier?"

Qi Shuang raised his eyebrows in confusion. Ran Qianxi was right in front of him, why did he ask such a question...

"Your Highness, are you suffering from eye problems? Would you like me to find a doctor for you?"

Hearing the affirmation, he stood up instantly, took a step forward and hugged her tightly in his arms.

Ran Qianxi: "Are you sick because you're busy?"

Tan Qianhuan: "If I can't see Xi'er, I will be seriously ill."

Ran Qianxi sighed and pushed him away.

"I remember I didn't spend the New Year with you. How about you come to my house with me this year?"

He hesitated and said, "I'm afraid it will bring trouble to the dean."

"It's okay. Baili Yong hasn't done anything yet, which means he wants us to have a good New Year. My house is so lively."

Just as Ran Qianxi said, the Ran Mansion is now decorated with lights and the family is reunited, with delicious food and a feast for the eyes.

Hong Fan and Li Zhengzhong were too embarrassed to sit at the table so they prepared to have a quick meal in the other courtyard. Unexpectedly, Ran Yuelian sent someone to invite them before the fire started.

The guard Ning Chenfei walked into the courtyard with a firm step, and when he saw the two people, he immediately clasped his fists and bowed: "Master, please take the table with you two."

The two looked at each other and did not refuse.

As soon as Xiahou Heng arrived at the Ran Mansion, Ran Qianxi came over with Tan Qianhuan. The first words she said when she saw him were a familiar teasing.

"Oh, Boss Xiahou is becoming more charming than ever."

Hearing the lame compliment, Tan Qianhuan looked him up and down, and found him to be indeed handsome and pleasing.

Xiahou Heng: "You are becoming more and more disrespectful."

Ran Qianxi knew that he was not her biological uncle, and that they had been both teacher and friend since childhood, so naturally she was a bit talkative.

"How much New Year's money does Boss Xiahou plan to give me this year?"

Xiahou Heng smiled faintly and casually called over a servant, who was leading a magnificent golden fox carriage, the curtains of which were made of Nanzhou flower brocade worth a thousand gold coins per foot.

"For me?"

The servant reached out and lifted the curtain of the carriage, revealing a carriage full of gold ingots and gold bars that were almost overflowing from the door.

Xiahou Heng smiled and said, "Count."

Ran Qianxi caught sight of Hong Fan and Li Zhengzhong, who had just arrived at the door, with an exaggerated expression on her face. They looked over and were startled by what was behind them.

Ran Qianxi: "So many? The bank has moved in?"

Ran Yuelian and Ran Qiongxi heard some noise outside the door in the hall but saw no one coming in, so they went out to greet them in person. When they saw a cart full of gold and the aloof Xiahou Heng, they couldn't help but laugh and cry. If he didn't know that Ran Qianxi was Zuo Qiuhe's daughter, he would have thought she was Xiahou Heng's biological daughter in this situation.

Since Tan Qianhuan appeared outside the mansion, he naturally didn't bother to argue with Xiahou Heng, so he bowed and gave way.

Ran Yuelian: "It's very cold outside the palace, please come in, Your Majesty."

Tan Qianhuan was a modest and polite gentleman. Because of Ran Qianxi, he was also particularly respectful to Ran Yuelian. Qianqian bowed in return, but Ran Yuelian bent down another inch.

"King Jibei, please."

He seemed to be deliberately keeping a distance from him, and he naturally knew the other party's reason for doing so, so he didn't take it too seriously.

Before the New Year's Eve dinner started, everyone in the mansion was having fun. Xiahou Jin, Xiahou Chen, Bai Wenxiao and Ran Qiongxi were playing mahjong happily amidst laughter. Ran Qianxi suddenly had the urge to build a snowman in the backyard, and naturally Tan Qianhuan, Li Zhengzhong and Hong Fan were there to accompany her.

Only Ran Yuelian was reading in the study room...

The peaceful and happy courtyard was suddenly surrounded. Tan Qianhuan was the first to hear the noise in the backyard. He thought it must be Baili Yong who took action. He stood with his hands behind his back facing the eaves, but he didn't expect that three people from the martial arts world in different clothes would fly down.

Suddenly, there was a faint sound of silver bells. Hong Fan's right ear moved and he immediately stood up and became alert. Ran Qianxi was still dazed. When she raised her eyelids, she saw two of the three people were ready for battle, and the four people suddenly became seven.

"Who are you?"

She walked forward without realizing the danger, but was gently stopped by Hong Fan.

"Don't go over there, it's dangerous."

Hearing the word "danger", she immediately shrank behind Hong Fan, knowing the situation. The four people in the hall were still playing cards and no sound was heard, which was enough to show that their target was the backyard.

The sound of silver bells was getting closer and closer, so close that even Ran Qianxi could hear it. Then a person flew down from the eaves. He had long gray-gold hair, a green shirt and white boots, with silver bells hanging on his shoulders and boots.

At this time, Hong Fan's face became obviously ugly. The gray-haired man slowly walked forward a few steps. Ran Qianxi saw his outstanding appearance clearly, which was gentle, handsome and quite exotic.

Tan Qianhuan's eyelids twitched, and he turned around to continue making snowmen. His expression remained unchanged, which touched Ran Qianxi again. She whispered, "Tan Qianhuan, stop making snowmen..."

Tan Qianhuan: "He is not a member of the imperial court, and has nothing to do with you and me. Keep piling."

The gray-haired man smiled gently and looked quite charming.

"It's not about you, it's about her."

Tan Qianhuan raised his eyelids and continued doing his own thing, not paying any attention to these uninvited guests.

"Xi'er, come here."

Hearing the call, Ran Qianxi walked over without thinking and hid behind him naturally.
