Chapter 147 The Path I Chose
Greenie and the others were having a lively discussion, their opinions and ideas sparking like fire. But amidst this enthusiastic atmosphere, one person seemed somewhat out of place—Qing'er. Unlike her sisters, she wasn't actively participating in the discussion; instead, she was whispering something to Li Lianhua on the side.
Huang'er finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "Fifth Sister, say something! Give us some feedback!" Her voice revealed a hint of urgency, as if she was somewhat dissatisfied with Qing'er's silence.
The other sisters also turned their gazes to Qing'er, secretly thinking: Fifth Sister has always been clever and quick-witted, and full of ideas. She must be able to come up with some unique insights, right?
Qing'er glanced at everyone expressionlessly and said in a calm tone, "What opinions could I possibly have? I strongly advised you against descending to the mortal realm back then, precisely because I was worried about this situation. I was afraid that some of you would descend without permission, so during that time I didn't even dare to go into seclusion for long periods of cultivation. Before each seclusion, I would repeatedly remind you not to secretly descend to the mortal realm. But what happened? I only went into seclusion for a few days, and when I came out, you all went to the mortal realm without telling me. Moreover, Seventh Sister even fell for Dong Yong because of it. Now you remember me and come to ask for my opinion? Why didn't you take my words seriously back then? Now, all I can say is that you chose your own path, so no matter how it turns out, it's your own fault."
She had said everything she could, but these people wouldn't listen to her advice! Now she's too lazy to bother with these trivial matters anymore.
Upon hearing Qing'er's words, the sisters were instantly rendered speechless, like eggplants struck by frost, and each lowered their heads guiltily. They hadn't thought that far ahead before; they simply felt that since Seventh Sister and Dong Yong loved each other, they should be together. But now they realized that things weren't as simple as they seemed on the surface, and they had to look at the bigger picture.
Li Xiangxian and the others exchanged glances, surprised by this turn of events. They were momentarily speechless, only able to conclude that these princesses were far too naive. Then, they became increasingly wary, realizing they needed to stay close to their future wives at all times, lest they be deceived and left with nowhere to turn.
Only Li Lianhua raised an eyebrow at them smugly, thinking, "See? My wife is the smartest." He was smart too, which is why he chose the smartest one.
Just as the atmosphere was getting more and more awkward, Li Lianhua grabbed Qing'er's hand and shook it, saying, "Qing'er~, we forgot to go see Master and Mistress."
Qing'er: ...She had almost forgotten. In Heaven, there's no custom of newlyweds serving tea to their elders on the second day of their marriage. Plus, they hadn't been out for half a month, so they had forgotten about their elders. Thinking this, Qing'er ignored them, and Li Lianhua vanished in a flash.
The others exchanged bewildered glances, their eyes seemingly conveying a sense of disbelief and unease. "How could he forget that? Tsk! I wonder if Li Lianhua will get a beating? I really want to go see." (Li Lianhua: ...Forget about the others, brother, am I still your favorite brother? Li Xiangxian: I can't help it, I'm jealous of my married brother too.)
Lan'er watched Qing'er leave, then cautiously asked, "Um... are we still going to get involved in Seventh Sister's matter?"
Green rolled her eyes. "What do I care? How can I care? Never mind, Fifth Sister is right. She chose her own path, and as for the outcome, that's also her own choice."
Li Lianhua and Qing'er arrived at Qi Mushan and his wife's residence. The couple lived in a two-courtyard siheyuan (traditional courtyard house), which Qing'er had prepared for them; they liked it at first sight. Qing'er had originally wanted to place the siheyuan not far from Qinglian Palace, but Qi Mushan and his wife objected, saying they didn't like things too lively. So they chose a place one kilometer away from Qinglian Palace.
When Qing'er and the others arrived, Qi Mushan and his companion were drinking tea in the courtyard. They were delighted to see them. Of course, they were also teased in return.
