Chapter 185: Temptation
Yasukuni, Makuryūfu.
Xi Yun sat at the table with a solemn face, caressing her chin with one hand, and pointing the fingertips of the other hand on the tabletop, her eyebrows were slightly raised, and her deep eyes were full of solemnity.
"Are you telling the truth?" she asked, looking at Xiaolian, who was standing in front of her with some nervousness.
"It's absolutely true, Lord of the House, Miss's behavior these days is really strange, as if she has lost her memory, and it seems that she really doesn't know anything......" Xiaolian said a little nervously.
After hearing this, Xi Yun recalled that these days, Lan'er has always been closed-door, originally she thought that Yingechuan's wedding was imminent, she was hiding in the house alone and sulking, but then she found out that the expenses of the Makulong Mansion during this period were really scary, in addition to the bride price money spent on organizing the wedding, a large part of it was actually spent by Lan'er to buy clothes and jewelry......
Xi Yun has always adhered to the principle of "giving birth to a daughter to be rich", and besides, she is such a daughter, and she has always been very fond of her, so she didn't pay too much attention to it, but just after listening to Xiaolian say so much, she remembered that Lan'er was indeed not interested in those gold and silver jewelry in the past, let alone wearing heavy makeup and revealing clothes.
"I'll go to her room. Thinking like this, Xi Yun also felt more and more uneasy, she got up and walked towards the door. But he was more and more worried in his heart, because Yi Lan'er's character would never see Yin Gechuan getting engaged to someone else without reacting. Thinking of this, she regretted that she had been busy preparing for marriage these days, and she didn't even notice the changes in her daughter.
Xiaolian trotted all the way behind her. When she came to the door of Jiang Lan'er's room, Xi Yun did not knock on the door, but broke in directly. She knew very well that if someone really pretended to be her daughter, she would see through it on the spot and expose it, and she would never give the other party half a chance to find out.
"Mother?" Jiang Lan'er was half-leaning on the bed in a small group of blue embroidered flowers, holding a scroll in her hand, looking like she was reading seriously. There was no heavy makeup on her face, her slightly baby fat face was still the original clear face, and her lake-blue curls were adorned with two crystal clear little blue butterflies, and she looked at Xi Yun who suddenly rushed in with some surprise.
"Arashi...... Lan'er?" Xi Yun couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, Jiang Lan'er didn't wear heavy makeup as Xiaolian said, nor did she wear any revealing clothes.
Xi Yun swept to the rest of her boudoir, the furnishings were no different from before, and the room was still filled with the scent of her favorite lavender.
Xiaolian looked at Jiang Lan'er, who suddenly changed back to her original state, and was stunned at the door, I don't know what the hell is going on, how could she suddenly put on this dress again......
"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Lan'er looked at Xi Yun, who was walking around her room, looking up and down back and forth, and couldn't help but step forward and ask impatiently. The voice and tone of his voice are still exactly the same as before, like a child who can never be reassured.
"Ah, it's okay, my mother just came to see you. Xi Yun smiled at her with some embarrassment, she looked carefully at her daughter standing in front of her, yes, this is her daughter.
Xi Yun hugged her in her arms, kissed her forehead, and asked with some disgust: "You said that you, a child, have been at home for so many days, and have been bored in the house and not going out for a walk?"
Jiang Lan'er's gaze suddenly dimmed, and her eyes flashed with a frustrated and slightly sad light, "I don't want to go out, you are all in a hurry to arrange Senior Brother Ge Chuan's marriage, and you are all thinking about how to get rid of the Shogunlong Mansion." As she spoke, the light in her eyes turned into crystal tears and slid down her eyes.
Xi Yun listened to her words, and then suddenly realized, she sighed, took Jiang Lan'er's hand, turned her to herself, and whispered helplessly: "Silly boy, it turns out that you are really still angry about this!" Her hand stroked her daughter's curly hair, and comforted: " It's not that I don't care about Yin Gechuan, in private I have thought about it myself, Shenori is a good girl, or your good friend, and she is strong in martial arts, and she is mature and steady, my mother thinks that she is different from the rest of the Silver Bun Sect, and she became a young sect master at a young age, and she can control Yin Gechuan and his frivolous temperament. ”
"And Yin Gechuan is the number one in the martial arts list, even if someone in the Silver Hair Sect doesn't like him, they can't do anything to him. Yin Gechuan broke into a catastrophe last time, and now the entire Spirit Clan is wanted by him, and the Spirit Realm is adjacent to our Yasukuni, so it is not safe for him to stay in Yasukuni now. So you believe Niang, it's good for all of us to do this, and it's also good for Su Chen. ”
Jiang Lan'er looked at her, although the tears in her eyes were still swirling, she still nodded reluctantly.
"That's right, mother's good daughter. Xi Yun stretched out her hand and brushed the broken hair on her forehead behind her ears with pity.
"Mother, I'm sorry......" she whispered suddenly.
"Well, what's wrong?" asked Xi Yun a little strangely.
"These days, because of Senior Brother Ge Chuan's marriage, I am in a very bad mood, so I accidentally spend money indiscriminately...... But don't worry, mother, I will never be like this in the future!"
Xi Yun shook her head with a smile, looked at her with great satisfaction, and said: "It's not wrong for my daughter to want to dress up beautifully, she wants to wear different styles of clothes and learn to make up, which is also very good, although my father and mother still hope that you don't spend money indiscriminately, but how can any girl not like to wear beautiful jewelry? Besides, our Makulong Mansion can't afford to support you, if you like it, my mother will ask someone to make some for you." ”
"Hehe, thank you, mother!" Jiang Lan'er said coquettishly holding Xi Yun's arm. Xi Yun looked at her adorable appearance, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
Xi Yun hugged her into her arms again.
Jiang Lan'er was affectionately attached to her face, her eyes looked at Xi Yun's back and her delicate face in the floor-to-ceiling dressing mirror in front of her, and for a long time, the corners of her mouth suddenly raised a trace of a strange smile......
After walking out of Jiang Lan'er's room, Xi Yun was relieved, she turned around and said to Xiaolian again: "Don't worry, Lan'er is fine, don't you know her little temper, who knows what strange things will be done on a whim one day, just help keep an eye on her, don't let her get into a big disaster." ”
"Yes, lord. Xiaolian hurriedly agreed.
She looked at the back of Xi Yun leaving, but the worries in her heart were not dispelled in the slightest, although she didn't know how the scene in the house just now was done—it was almost exactly the same as the previous young lady, the same clothes, the same speech, the same movements, and even the furnishings in the house.
Xiaolian turned to look at the door again, but at this time she was no longer panicking, and there was a trace of silence in her eyes.
Her performance just now was almost seamless, but she still fell behind - Xiaolian clearly heard that she was just calling "Senior Brother Ge Chuan", as if she had deliberately done it after listening to what she had said last time. But Xiaolian has followed the young lady for so many years, maybe she didn't even notice the mansion master, but she was very sure of this matter, because Jiang Lan'er had never called Yin Gechuan like that.
