Chapter 257: Blue Wife
After walking around the mansion, Ran Qianxi was still not satisfied. The moment she opened the bedroom curtain, she saw Tan Qianhuan sitting in front of the tea table. He looked at her expressionlessly, his peach blossom eyes seemed to be examining and supervising her. The familiar atmosphere made her feel a chill.
"Where did Xier go?"
The ordinary tone coming out of his mouth made people feel inexplicably uneasy, he was like the person holding the knife and he was like the fish on the chopping board.
"I walk around."
He stood up gracefully, walked in front of Ran Qianxi with a smile, with an unintentional look of danger on his face.
"Xier went to the dungeon?"
He was being watched after only being out for two quarters of an hour. It would be terrifying to think about it no matter who it happened to!
"You're still spying on me?"
Listening to her excited tone, Tan Qianhuan stood silently, then raised his hand to stroke her hair and smiled faintly.
"Didn't Xier go?"
Ran Qianxi's blood suddenly froze, and she felt an unprecedented threat from him.
She took a few steps back in disbelief, turned around and ran out of the yard. Tan Qianhuan paused and chased after her without knowing what had happened.
"Xi'er!"
When Ran Qianxi ran out of the palace, a pair of big hands grabbed her tightly from behind. At this moment, it seemed as if despair had reached her again.
She turned around tremblingly and saw a face full of surprise.
"Why are you running, Xier?"
Ran Qianxi tentatively pulled her hand away, and Tan Qianhuan was even more surprised...
"Did I scare you?"
If you look closely at his expression, you will find that he is not as paranoid as before, and his words are not extreme either, but she is like a frightened bird and is disturbing herself.
"You...say it again why Xi'er is running away?"
Although Tan Qianhuan didn't understand, she repeated it anyway because she saw something was different.
"Why are you running, Xier?"
She suddenly realized that there was nothing unusual about this sentence, it was just a very gentle concern, but the bad thing was that Tan Qianhuan was always so gentle, even when he was killing someone, his tone was so calm, and his expression made people unable to find any flaws, he always looked calm.
"I thought you were going to put me under house arrest again."
He still spoke softly, "Of course not. How can I make the same mistake again as I did in my previous life?"
Ran Qianxi smiled lightly, trying to hide the unnecessary embarrassment.
"Hahaha... you are just seeing things, aren't you?"
Tan Qianhuan smiled reluctantly and shook his head, then he hugged her in his arms and walked back to the palace.
Ran Qianxi: "Are you spying on me again?"
Tan Qianhuan: "I know you went to the dungeon not because I was monitoring you, but because Baili Shang suddenly stopped swearing."
Ran Qianxi straightened her upper body, naturally put her arms around his neck and asked, "Why did you know I was there when he didn't curse?"
The vivid lover was hugging him intimately at this moment. He seemed to have returned to the past, with an endless smile on his face.
"Because Xier has the ability to make everyone laugh."
Little Year North
As the New Year draws closer, the streets of Jizhou are brightly lit, and the goods sold by the vendors are becoming more and more festive.
Children and pedestrians on the streets of Xiao County are looking forward to the approaching Spring Festival. Amidst the laughter and chatter, a young woman with a veiled hat is walking gracefully, and the men writing oil on the roadside are all deterred from looking at her. She is dressed in white, pure and innocent, holding a sword, and she is as brave as any man.
There was a lot of traffic in front of the Qinhuifang, and Xiahou Chen was chatting with his friends. Most of the Qinlou and Chuguan were open at night, but the Xiahou family's music house was open all day, so its reputation in Xiao County was much ahead of its peers.
The woman approached gracefully and bowed: "Excuse me, sir, in which direction is the Ran Mansion?"
Xiahou Chen turned his head inadvertently, and just a quick glance made him stay for two seconds. He was considered a young man who had seen the world.
"What are you looking for in the Ran Mansion?"
Woman: "I came to the north to look for my fiancé."
Xiahou Chen paused, and he and his good friend Chong Zhi widened their eyes!
Chong Zhi: "How many men are there in the second brother's family?"
Xiahou Chen glanced at him and said, "Two."
Chong Zhi: "Isn't this a fuss? What should we do if the real owner shows up?"
The two thought they were whispering, but in fact Su You heard it all clearly.
"Do you two know? Please lead the way!"
Xiahou Chen smiled awkwardly and was about to turn around and run, but unexpectedly he was caught by Su You with a somersault!
Chong Zhi frowned for less than a second, and Shu Ling Jinxiu waved the red lantern hanging on the door. Unexpectedly, before the lantern could become a hidden weapon and shot over, Bai Wenxiao suddenly appeared and captured Su You.
Su You naturally would not surrender. She broke free from his right hand and drew out the sword. At the same time, the paper lantern turned into a powerful weapon again. With a snap, it hit her right shoulder and knocked the sword out of her hand.
Su You looked back in surprise. Chong Zhi's harmless face didn't look like that of a person with profound martial arts skills.
Su You: "You have great skills, what school did you come from?"
Chong Zhi pretended to be surprised and pointed at himself and said, "Ah? Me? I don't have a sect."
Su You looked at the three people from left to right and from top to bottom, and picked up the sword on the ground.
"I am Su You and I have no intention of offending you. If you know where the Ran Mansion is, please point the way."
Bai Wenxiao glanced at her. Although he couldn't see her expression clearly because of the veil, he still understood the whole story. It must be that Ran Qianxi was ignorant of the immensity of heaven and abducted someone else's man, forcing the girl to come in person.
"I know. Follow me."
A pair of eyes suddenly brightened under the veil, and she followed his steps as if she had grasped hope. The two people behind her had no choice but to spread their hands and follow him.
Ran Mansion-
As the New Year's Eve is coming, Ran Qianxi naturally has to go home. Poor Tan Qianhuan is alone, guarding the huge Jizhou and listening to other families having fun.
The layout and decoration of the Ran Mansion in Xiao County are slightly different from those of the imperial city. There are many lively colors here, and it is easy to tell that this is where the girl has lived since she was a child.
The hall was silent and deserted, the main courtyard was also bright and quiet, everyone had their own things to do, but the inner courtyard was filled with laughter.
Hong Fan enjoyed playing Cuju with Ran Qianxi, while Li Zhengzhong painted beside them with a smile on his face. With each stroke of his paint on the paper, Ran Qianxi's every smile and frown came alive.
Suddenly, a complex sound of footsteps broke the joy of the three people, two pairs of footsteps were a little hurried, and the other two pairs were steady and orderly.
"somebody is coming."
For some reason, Hong Fan inexplicably felt a murderous aura.
Ran Qianxi looked up and ignored Bai Wenxiao and Su You at first glance, and jumped directly to Chong Zhi....
"Brother Chongzhi."
The intimate yet strange name made Li Zhengzhong and Hong Fan nervous. Chong Zhi touched her head with a smile and put her back on the ground.
"Sure."
It was the first time that Li Zhengzhong's face looked so ugly, and Hong Fan's was even more so. The word "brother" was too damaging to them.
Su You followed Ran Qianxi's eyes without missing a moment. Even though she was a recognized beauty in the world, she couldn't help feeling a little insecure, because the liveliness and vitality in her were something she would never have in her entire life.
Hong Fan walked towards Ran Qianxi impatiently, but was stopped gently by Su You when he passed by her.
"Hong Lang."
He frowned, stopped and took a look, but did not recognize who the other person was, which showed that he had very little interest in her.
"you are?"
The fatal question made Su You unable to breathe. She took off her hat in disappointment, and Hong Fan was horrified!
He widened his eyes and asked, "Why are you here?"
The two had been engaged for a long time, but on the wedding day the groom ran away without saying a word. The bride came from afar to find him, but instead of showing any concern, she questioned him.
"Father wants you to return and get married, but he has issued a hunting order if he can't find you."
Hong Fan walked towards her slowly. His youthfulness became half gone, and his wanton wildness turned into experience. The strange atmosphere made people feel terrified.
"A martial arts hunting order? Your father really deserves to be the leader of the martial arts world."
Su You was anxious to explain the misunderstanding. She held Hong Fan's hand and said patiently, "It's not a real hunting order. Look, my father knew where you were, but he didn't send anyone. Instead, he asked me to find you myself."
Hong Fan was stunned and pulled his hand back.
"Then what's the point of your hypocrisy?"
"Hong Lang, why don't you accept me?"
