The candlelight inside the lanterns in the main house also went out.
Then, the Water Mother Yin Princess walked towards the room where Lian Xing usually lived, while Lian Xing walked into the Water Mother Yin Princess's room.
As Lianxing reached the door, she felt her heartbeat becoming increasingly rapid and distinct, so much so that she could hear each heartbeat.
So nervous that even the palms of his hands were sweating.
Remembering the instructions given by the Water Mother Yin Princess, Lianxing took a deep breath before gritting her teeth and entering the main house, closing the door behind her.
After the main house was closed, the courtyard fell into a temporary silence.
After a hundred breaths, as some distinct sounds came from the main house, the wind and snow in the courtyard became even more turbulent.
In the room next door, the jellyfish Yin Ji had a smile on her lips.
"I've taken the first step towards becoming the eldest sister."
...
The next day.
Because of their drunkenness the night before, Qu Feiyan and the other two women didn't wake up until almost the end of the 11 PM hour and then came out of their rooms one after another.
Moreover, when they came out, the girls all looked weak and listless.
He was clearly still recovering from the hangover.
The three women felt better after they finished washing up.
However, after the three women finished washing up, Qu Feiyan couldn't help but curiously approach Lianxing, who was sitting in the courtyard with her hands supporting her chin and grinning foolishly as if she were reminiscing about something.
"Hey, what kind of sweet dream did you have last night? Why are you sitting here grinning like an idiot so early in the morning?"
It would have been better if Qu Feiyan hadn't asked. But the smile on Lianxing's face only deepened after Qu Feiyan asked the question, and she even covered her face with both hands.
Qu Feiyan: "??????"
Seeing Lianxing's unusual behavior, Qu Feiyan was completely bewildered.
Then, pointing at Lianxing, he looked at Xiao Zhao and Lin Shiyin beside him and said, "Has she gone mad from drinking too much?"
However, when faced with Qu Feiyan's question, Lin Shiyin and Xiao Zhao on the side also looked blank, clearly not knowing what was going on with Lianxing.
Seeing this, Qu Feiyan raised a finger and poked Lianxing's smooth forehead.
After being poked twice by Qu Feiyan, Lianxing couldn't help but say, "Hey! Stop messing around."
Although her voice was still lively, it had gained a gentleness and a slightly sweet feeling that it hadn't had before.
Hearing Lianxing's reaction and voice, Qu Feiyan said with a blank face, "It seems like her brain is really broken."
However, at that moment, Huahua, who had been in the snow, popped out again.
After picking up a bamboo stalk that Xiao Zhao and Lin Shiyin had cut down outside the city yesterday from the yard, the little guy leaped up and landed directly on Lianxing's shoulder, then leaned against Lianxing's neck and started eating the bamboo.
Upon witnessing this scene, Qu Feiyan and the other two women were momentarily stunned.
"Wait, why is this guy suddenly willing to get close to her?"
Seeing the flowers on Lianxing's neck, Qu Feiyan raised her hand in confusion and reached out towards the little guy.
However, just like before, before Qu Feiyan could even touch the little guy, he suddenly darted to the other side, still not letting Qu Feiyan and the other girls touch him.
"No, something's strange, something's definitely strange."
Seeing the little guy's reaction, Qu Feiyan narrowed her eyes and immediately sensed that something was wrong.
When his gaze fell on Lianxing, his eyes narrowed slightly, and even became more scrutinizing.
Here, because of Qu Feiyan and the other two women, Lianxing had come to her senses and suddenly remembered that Shuimu Yinji was still in Chu Qinghe's room.
For a moment, he couldn't help but turn his head and glance at the main house with a worried expression.
Inside the room, Chu Qinghe looked at the jellyfish Yin Ji, who was bowing her head slightly like a child who had made a mistake, and suddenly felt a headache coming on.
Chu Qinghe had known all along that Shui Mu Yin Ji was secretly setting a trap for Lian Xing, trying to drag her onto her own pirate ship.
Furthermore, Chu Qinghe kept guessing what kind of bait Jellyfish Yin Ji had placed in the pit.
Chu Qinghe never expected that the bait that Shui Mu Yin Ji had placed in the pit was himself.
After a short while, Chu Qinghe spoke up: "You've gone a bit too far with this, haven't you?"
Hearing Chu Qinghe's words, Shuimu Yinji lowered her head and twisted the hem of her clothes, saying, "Anyway, it's Second Sister's idea!"
Chu Qinghe paused for a moment and asked, "What does 'Inviting the Moon' mean?"
Jellyfish Yin Ji nodded like a chick pecking at rice and said, "Yes! Second Sister has already sent Lianxing with us to the Great Song Kingdom. Obviously, she wants to get Lianxing to come with you too. I'm just helping Second Sister out."
Chu Qinghe's expression stiffened slightly upon hearing Shui Mu Yin Ji's words.
Noticing Chu Qinghe's bewildered expression, Shuimu Yinji quickly explained her analysis to him.
After she finished speaking, Jellyfish Yin Ji added, "So, since Second Sister wants Lianxing to follow you, I'm just going along with it."
On the other hand, Chu Qinghe's expression grew increasingly strange as he listened to Shui Mu Yin Ji's analysis. He suddenly understood the reason behind Shui Mu Yin Ji's secret actions last night.
Faced with the profound thoughts that Shui Mu Yin Ji implied in Yao Yue's words, Chu Qinghe wanted to tell Shui Mu Yin Ji, "You're overthinking it."
Based on Chu Qinghe's understanding of Yaoyue, the reason he let Lianxing go out with him was probably simply to make up for Lianxing's shortcomings and broaden her horizons.
But who would have thought that the Water Mother Yin Ji would misunderstand Yao Yue's meaning?
For a moment, Chu Qinghe also had a lot of complaints in his heart but didn't know how to express them.
What does it mean to be able to guard against a thief within your own home day and night? This is it.
She sold her own husband without even realizing it.
If it's sold to outsiders, then so be it.
The crucial point is that the jellyfish princess even sold herself to an acquaintance.
What kind of situation is this?
