Chapter 162: Fortune and Misfortune



As they were talking, there was a knock on the door. It was Dongfang Ruoxue who opened it. She was holding cakes in her hands. When she saw An Qingran, she smiled and said, "I thought it was time for you to wake up, so I brought something for you..."

"Rendong, come quickly, please ask Princess Ruoxue to sit down!" An Qingran took the pastries and asked Rendong to bring a chair.

Rendong spread a soft brocade cushion on the chair and let Dongfang Ruoxue sit on it.

Dongfang Ruoxue didn't care about these. She sat down and looked at An Qingran with a smile: "Fortunately, you are fine!"

"Thank you for your concern, Princess. I didn't expect that you would come here and save Rendong. I don't know how to thank you!" An Qingran said sincerely.

She couldn't believe what would happen to her if Honeysuckle was killed.

"If you want to thank someone, it's my brother who saved Honeysuckle!"

"Oh, Prince Dongfang is really good at kung fu. I've never heard of him before. I guess Prince Dongfang is too low-key!"

An Qingran said with emotion.

She actually had no impression of the Young Master Dongfang who saved people. This was simply a sin.

"Brother is indeed like that, like a carefree cloud and wild crane!" Dongfang Ruoxue smiled. In fact, she is proud to have such a brother.

An Qingran wanted to say something, but Dongfang Ruoxue said, "Do you know who robbed you? There were two groups of people in total, and the fight was fierce. I didn't dare to go up. Later, one group took the other group away..."

In fact, one group was killed by another group and the bodies were taken away, but Dongfang Ruoxue did not see it.

An Qingran shook her head: "I have no clue. One group of people are the prince's secret guards, and I don't know who the masked man is. Maybe I offended someone without knowing it!"

An Qingran laughed at herself with a wry smile.

"If you say you have offended anyone, it's those despicable people. Offending them is not really an offense!" Dongfang Ruoxue sneered.

An Qingran was touched, it was obvious that she was also a righteous person.

"Thank you, Princess. If ordinary people saw this, they would think that I have done many evil things!" An Qingran said jokingly.

"Speaking of which, the general was too confident to bring only such a small number of servants..." Dongfang Ruoxue said fearfully, "If I hadn't met the crown prince, I don't know what would have happened. I really don't even dare to think about it."

"Yes, I was careless! It's not my father's fault. I really envy the princess's good brother, Prince Dongfang, who personally escorted the princess." An Qingran said.

Who could have thought that a casual pilgrim would encounter such a brutal bandit.

"That's true. You don't have a brother, so you don't know the benefits of having a brother. He cares about me more than my father does. By the way, doesn't your cousin often visit the general's mansion? Why didn't he send you here?" Dongfang Ruoxue changed the subject.

"I wonder which cousin the princess is referring to?" An Qingran said.

"Of course it's Lian Muhan!" Dongfang Ruoxue said, "It can't be King Kang, right? He doesn't have time to spare. Besides, you are my cousin!"

An Qingran suddenly heard Dongfang Ruoxue mention Lian Muhan, but she didn't take it to heart. She just smiled and said, "My cousin is like a dragon that is hard to find. It's not easy to see him!"

Dongfang Ruoxue nodded: "Yes, Master Lian... When I saw the prince, I thought Master Lian would be with him!"

If Dongfang Ruoxue hadn't explained, An Qingran wouldn't have thought of anything. But his explanation made An Qingran understand something. How could a girl like her casually mention another man's name?

Could it be that she is interested in her mediocre cousin?

Although her cousin was a bit careless, she knew him. He was just like the prince. When the two of them were together, they were not serious. But when they were serious, this cousin was extremely talented! He was also upright. Sometimes she was puzzled, why did these two people hide their peerless elegance and would rather let the world throw dirty water on them?

Or is this a strategy?

But she couldn't understand.

Seeing Dongfang Ruoxue mention Lian Muhan's name, An Qingran said, "My cousin probably has something important to do. He seems to be smiling all the time, but he is not vague at all. He knows everything, big or small!"

An Qingran was very smart. When she heard Dongfang Ruoxue say this, she naturally said something good about her cousin. Dongfang Ruoxue's face turned red when she heard it: "Well... you should eat first. You have slept for so long and it is so late. You must be hungry!"

Seeing the panic on Dongfang Ruoxue's face, An Qingran stopped talking and decided to quit while he was ahead.

But she was secretly worried. Dongfang Ruoxue was the princess of Prince Shou, and the Lian family was at most a wealthy family. Even though her uncle was a fourth-rank official, the gap between him and Dongfang Ruoxue was too big. The two families were not equal, and there were really many problems.

In her previous life, Dongfang Ruoxue was sent to marry a princess to a cold and bitter land. Although she was a princess, she was only a concubine of a small tribe. The tribe was backward and uneducated, so she died of depression. There is no need to elaborate.

She felt sorry for her. An Qingran then realized that a large part of the tragedy in her previous life was due to herself. She did not make friends with good girls like Lou Wanyue and Dongfang Ruoxue in her previous life, but she brought Qin Xiangning to her side. It seemed that she could not distinguish between good and bad and her vision was very problematic.

In this life, after being reborn, she decided to help these good people!

Don’t let those evildoers succeed!

Of course, what she cares most about now is who is the person who wants to rob and kill her?

The prince said that he sent secret guards, and Dongfang Ruoxue also said that one group defeated the other. Naturally, the prince was victorious, otherwise there would be no peace here. Then, he must know who those masked men are!

She would have to find a chance to ask.

She knew all the enemies from her previous life clearly, but she had no idea how many new enemies she had made in this life.

After Dongfang Ruoxue said goodbye, An Qingran began to eat her vegetarian meal. She had mixed feelings in her heart. It was not a pleasant feeling to have survived this calamity. She was really not that strong.

The next day, he met Master Liaokong. The master looked at An Qingran with a kind face and said, "Donor, this disaster is inevitable. Good fortune and disaster are interdependent, so this disaster is not really a disaster!"

An Qingran didn't understand. She was almost killed. Wasn't this a blessing in disguise?

She really couldn't imagine how this could be a blessing!

An Qingran filled the blessing box with silver and added dozens of kilograms of lamp oil. He made a wish for his mother in front of the Bodhisattva and the kind people in the general's mansion. Finally, when he stood up, he realized that he had forgotten to make a wish for himself. Perhaps everything he had in this life depended on himself, and no one else could help him.

An Qingran was supposed to return home the next day, but Dongfang Ruoxue got along very well with her, so the two of them traveled to the back mountain together. The mountain already had a hint of autumn, with leaves constantly falling, but there was also the fragrance of fruit. An Qingran remembered that when she and the prince were robbed, the mountain was just beginning to show signs of spring, but now it was already autumn. Time passed so quickly.
