Chapter 207 Still Exposed
This scene happened to be seen by Xiahou Jin who came over, and he didn't know whether he was happy or something else.
"Daughter."
Ran Qianxi pushed Li Zhengzhong away at the speed of light and turned around, Xiahou Jin walked over with tears in her eyes.
"mother?"
"Oh my good daughter."
She quickly pulled Ran Qianxi into her arms. Ran Qianxi was bound and restrained all over, and she almost couldn't breathe.
"My God, strangled her to death, strangled her to death"
Xiahou Jin reluctantly let her go and saw Li Zhengzhong nod and smile.
"You kid, you ran so far without saying a word. I was worried to death."
Although she had met Xiahou Jin at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet during her second rebirth, she still couldn't hold back her tears when they met today.
She quickly wiped away her tears. She couldn't help but feel happy that the people she cherished were still alive in this world.
"I'm just bored at home."
Xiahou Jin ignored her and turned his eyes to Li Zhengzhong.
"The last time I met Mr. Li was three years ago. Now, three years have passed, and Mr. Li has become even more handsome."
Li Zhengzhong had never taken part in the imperial examinations. He went to the capital to make a living and soon became famous. Ran Yuelian repeatedly invited him to join the Hanlin Academy, but was rejected many times. As a result, the two became close friends.
Ever since he met him, Ran Yuelian had been training him as his future son-in-law. However, Qin Miqiu was in love with him at the time, so he had to give up.
"I am very lucky that my wife cares about me."
"You're welcome. What's the good or bad news? Just take good care of my precious daughter."
This sentence brought two people to a state of bewilderment, and both of them couldn't believe what they heard.
Ran Qianxi: "Take care?"
Li Zhengzhong: "Madam, is your intention my intention?"
Xiahou Jin smiled kindly and said, "What do you mean?"
Since his future mother-in-law asked the question clearly, he was a smart man and immediately seized the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to express his opinion.
"I am willing to take care of Ah Qian for the rest of my life. Please, Madam, hand Ah Qian over to me. I will do my best to love her, pity her, and accommodate her for the rest of my life, and do everything I can to make her happy and long-lasting."
Ran Qianxi was still calm, but looking at her mother's satisfied smile, she knew she couldn't escape this disaster.
Xiahou Jin: "My daughter has a very positive mindset. It's useless for you to just say it. I'll observe you with his father and brother."
Li Zhengzhong looked at the bewildered Ran Qianxi. Getting the approval of her parents and brothers was equivalent to completing an important ceremony.
"Zhengzhong will definitely live up to Madam's trust."
Xiahou Jin stared at the poems, paintings and ink fans all over the yard for a while, and immediately fell in love with the painting of Looking at Chrysanthemums.
Li Zhengzhong was also smart and sensible. He smiled and took the painting over.
"Ma'am, I accept it."
Xiahou Jin took the painting as if nothing had happened, but he was actually very happy. On the Double Ninth Festival, he would invite the eunuch's wife to his house to appreciate the chrysanthemums. This painting greatly demonstrated the style of the Ran Mansion.
"Oh, this kindness is hard to refuse... It's hard to refuse such a kindness, right?"
Li Zhengzhong still had that unfathomable smile on his face.
"As long as the lady is happy."
"Cough cough..."
Xiahou Jin walked around the yard again, and Ran Qianxi beside him had already rolled her eyes to the sky.
After a moment, she stopped in front of Ran Qianxi's portrait and was about to make a big request again.
"Eh? This is..."
Li Zhengzhong observed her expression, put the painting away and put it in her hands.
"Madam, keep it."
Xiahou Jin opened the portrait again and took a look. He saw a poem written by Li Zhengzhong himself, and the theme was again Ran Qianxi. He instantly felt the beautiful scenery.
"Oh, this... is just a little bit short of something, right?"
She looked at Li Zhengzhong tentatively, and Ran Qianxi took out the "Li Zhengzhong Seal" and poked it, then reluctantly returned it to Xiahou Jin.
"Well, take it and put it on."
Xiahou Jin smiled awkwardly, took back the painting, and then walked around to the painting of Inviting You.
"How do I sell this..."
As soon as Li Zhengzhong heard it, he knew that she wanted to take it for free, so he handed the painting to her with a smile.
"If you like, Madam, you can take it and enjoy it."
Xiahou Jin laughed very happily, but Ran Qianxi had lost all color...
"Hahaha, you are so sensible. I'll leave my daughter to you then."
After saying this, he left Luoxia Island with the three paintings in his arms, satisfied.
Li Zhengzhong turned around and looked at the helpless Ran Qianxi and smiled gently. The mother and daughter looked like they were cast in the same mold.
"Mrs. Ran has taught her daughter well."
"It sounds insulting to me."
Li Zhengzhong smiled again. He had made both the painting and the poem himself, so he did not seem impatient or distressed.
"It is my great fortune that Madam Ran likes my paintings."
Ran Qianxi waved her hand and sat down.
"She didn't like it at all. She didn't understand it any more than I did. She just gave it to her old sister to show off."
"Haha, if Asahi likes it, how about I draw different pictures for you every day?"
Ran Qianxi pondered for a moment and then raised his head.
"How much does it cost?"
"It's just calligraphy and ink, but the picture of the beautiful lady is priceless, representing our acquaintance. Our acquaintance is priceless, and our mutual understanding is magnificent."
evening-
Upon learning that Ran Qianxi was here, Ran Qiongxi rushed over with the family rules in hand!
Ran Qianxi was learning how to make snacks with Li Zhengzhong. Even a hundred meters away, she felt the familiar terrifying breath again.
"Big brother is coming to kill us!"
Li Zhengzhong raised his head and looked towards the door, but saw no one.
"Who?"
Ran Qianxi ran into the backyard at a very fast speed, but Ran Qiongxi's voice arrived before she did.
"Ran Qianxi, get out here!"
Hearing the sound, Li Zhengzhong walked out of the yard, as if he was facing a ferocious yaksha.
"Where's Ran Qianxi?"
"Ah Qian..."
Ran Qiongxi glanced at her, put away the family rules and bowed.
"I hope everyone here will let me know."
Li Zhengzhong was in a dilemma and didn't know how to start. On one hand, he was his brother-in-law whom he couldn't offend, and on the other hand, he was his wife whom he couldn't betray.
Seeing that he was speechless, Ran Qiongxi sighed.
"I won't make it difficult for you. Just tell me whether she knows she is wrong."
"Ah Qian naturally knew that she was wrong. She thought that she had upset her brother, and she was worried every day. She just hoped that Brother Ran would talk to her in a friendly way. It was not easy to meet, so he would not scare her again."
"Forget it. I won't beat her. Where is she?"
Li Zhengzhong smiled faintly and said, "It should be hidden in the backyard. Brother Ran can go and see if there is any trace of it in the tallest and largest bamboo cage."
The two came to the backyard, and Ran Qiongxi went straight to the bamboo cage. Sure enough, she was shivering inside.
“Ah! Brother!!”
"You're great! You've grown wings! You ran away from the capital to Yangzhou without any hesitation, and even dared to go abroad. You were almost taken in as queen by the King of Nanyue! Now you've run away to Penglai again!"
