Chapter 594 Sometimes I really envy you

Having never seen such methods before, Song Chunxue took a long time to figure it out. This Yun Qiu really intended to ruin her with such clumsy means.

Even though everyone could see it, Yun Qiu was already deliberately trying to smear her, and everyone else was just watching the show.

Seeing Zhao Jian with her legs splayed out and her arms crossed over her chest, looking like she wanted to eat a plate of melon seeds, she knew that people preferred this kind of low-quality show to the grand performances with stages set up and actors waiting to take the stage.

Even though I know it's poop, I still find the smell somewhat tempting.

"Yun Qiu, did you let him in to find my junior brother?"

The Taoist priest's face darkened, and he looked displeased. He stared straight at Yun Qiu and warned softly, "Don't use that trick on her."

"Ha ha!"

Yun Qiu laughed loudly, looking at the Taoist priest with a face full of sarcasm.

"Which one? You really look down on me from the bottom of your heart, thinking I'm just all show and no substance..."

"What's all the noise about? Are we not going to continue the opera? Everyone's huffed and puffed their way up the mountain, only to find the lead actor from the opera troupe never shows up. Who's going to be held accountable for that?"

Song Chunxue interrupted Yun Qiu with a strong voice, her words and actions showing a lack of understanding of romance, and she showed no anger at being teased.

She looked at Yun Qiu with a half-smile, "If you really spent a lot of money to have someone use your good looks to seduce me, I advise you not to bother. This man looks only a few years older than my eldest son. Aren't you trying to annoy me? If you have so much money you don't know what to do with it, you can just give it to me."

"If you really want to test my limits, you can find someone older, a little more reserved, and use sweet talk, but don't start by hitting me. I'm afraid this old lady will annoy them."

Upon hearing this, both the Taoist priest and Tu Dan'er looked at Lord Xie.

Xie Zheng stared at the Taoist priest, then turned and glared at Tu Dan'er.

“Zhao Jian,” Song Chunxue smiled at him, raising her chin slightly, “Since you’re familiar with this matter, you can have the drink with this gentleman. Don’t take advantage of him.”

As she spoke, Song Chunxue handed the talisman she had drawn to the person in front of her, then turned and walked towards the side courtyard.

Master Xie, along with Tu Dan'er, Changfeng, and Changyun, all followed behind her.

Yun Qiu clenched her fists so tightly that her knuckles cracked.

"This is outrageous!"

Song Chunxue went to the kitchen, took a buckwheat bun that Lao Si had brought, sat on a stool and took a bite.

Seeing her family members file in, instantly making the kitchen crowded, her mood improved considerably, and her annoyance and indifference disappeared.

"Why are you here? Aren't you going to see the play?"

"What's the point of watching this show? It's such a spoilsport! How dare he flirt with you, my martial uncle? Why don't you chop off his dog paws? And that Yun Qiu, what kind of so-called cultivator is she? She even wants me to call her martial uncle. How did Master take her as a disciple? He must have paid money, right?"

Tu Dan'er was so angry that he cursed loudly.

"It's one thing for her to covet my master, but she also wants to harm my uncle. She can't stand our peace and wants to turn this place into a mess, right? Why doesn't our ancestor strike down some lightning to drive her away?"

Song Chunxue's movements faltered. Was lightning descending?

Her eyes shone brightly. "Senior brother, you'll teach me how to summon lightning, right? You won't protect her just because she's your ninth junior sister, will you?"

"Don't worry, if she doesn't provoke me tonight, I won't do anything to her. But if she has any other tricks up her sleeve, I certainly won't sit idly by."

Xie Zheng also looked at the Taoist priest, "When dealing with a despicable person, senior brother, you can't be soft-hearted. Teach her a lesson."

"You know how, don't you?" The Taoist priest frowned slightly. "Do you know the consequences of carelessly attracting lightning?"

"I'm not very skilled yet, which is why I want my senior brother to give me proper guidance. I need to be careful and double-check the lightning-attracting talisman and incantation to avoid attracting lightning." Song Chunxue bowed respectfully. "Please enlighten me, senior brother."

"Can I learn too?" Tu Dan'er's eyes lit up. "I'll go with my master and burn that bad embryo."

“Nonsense,” the Taoist priest looked at Tudan’er. “Wangchen, you haven’t even learned to walk yet and you want to fly. You’re not focused on your cultivation. Learn from your uncles, especially your Uncle Xie. He’s the most patient.”

"Hmm?" Xie Zheng looked at the Taoist priest's meaningful gaze and stared at his departing figure, his teeth itching with anger.

Okay, so you're subtly mocking him, aren't you?

I really underestimated the Taoist priest before; he truly doesn't treat me like an outsider.

What else can he do if he loses his temper?

Xue Yunqiu is always throwing herself at people and using her scheming mind. Has a perfectly good person turned into a madwoman?

This isn't like picking peaches that you absolutely have to eat.

He had his eye on a peach carved from jade. What did it matter if he couldn't have it? He could look at it for a lifetime!

It's really funny, a joke about being forced to be a vegetarian and a joke about wanting to be a vegetarian.

He was certain that if he really lost his composure, the Taoist priest would be the first to jump up!

He looked at the long wind and clouds, "Let's go outside and watch a play."

Changfeng obediently followed, thinking to himself that his uncles were just as childish as them, yet he could understand everything they said.

Sigh, this is really distressing.

Changyun asked, "Why are you sighing?"

"It's nothing, sometimes I really envy you."

Changyun asked, puzzled, "Huh?"

...

After the play, everyone dispersed, preparing to have dinner before watching another night performance.

However, the fourth brother led Tian Qi to find Song Chunxue.

Tu Dan couldn't keep it to himself and told him about how the handsome young man on stage had flirted with Song Chunxue.

"What?"

"Someone paid an actress to seduce my mother?" The fourth son laughed uncontrollably. "Who's so kind? Has my mother taken a liking to that actress?"

Tu Dan'er lowered his head, suppressing a laugh, "No, I even gave Zhao Jian the chance to drink and flirt together."

Song Chunxue threw a roasted potato at his head, saying, "If you want to get beaten up, just say so."

Tian Qi kicked the gloating fourth brother, saying, "That's our mother."

"I know." The fourth brother knew it. How could someone who could remain unmoved by Lord Xie be bewitched by a mere actress?

"By the way, Mother, Sanwa asked me to ask if your previous promise to have Mulan's mother come to Jincheng and help with the cooking on the mountain still stands?" The fourth brother clicked his tongue and said, "You know what, Sanwa cares a lot about his mother-in-law. Even though his sister-in-law gave birth to another girl this time, Sanwa isn't unhappy at all."

Song Chunxue looked at the fourth brother and said, "What's wrong with a girl? It's not like we can't afford to raise one now."

"Yes, yes, yes, the girl is good. Girls will be caring when they grow up, just like my sister. She even brought you shoes she made herself. When are you going down the mountain to get them?" The fourth brother lowered his voice. "Those two Akhal-Teke horses have been sent to Lord Xie's house to be kept, otherwise they would have been stolen."

"Yes, I'll go down the mountain tomorrow." I want to go down the mountain to see Sanwa's child, and also her own child.

Sanwa's birthday is coming up in a few days. Since she's in Jincheng now, she wants to make him a meal of long noodles with minced meat sauce.

While they were eating, they heard someone talking in the next room, as if they were scolding someone.

"Is the person next to her the junior sister of that jealous Taoist priest?" the fourth brother asked curiously. "I'll go see what she looks like."

"When the fourth brother comes back, be careful she doesn't take a fancy to you."

"ah?"

"Bang!" The half-open door was kicked open.

"Song Chunxue!"
