After hearing what Nangong Liuyun said, Luosheng and Nangong Xinwan froze on the spot.
Luosheng, who first snapped out of it, hurriedly explained:
“Nothing big, just praising Little Junior Sister in front of Big Sister Xinwan.
Hey, did Little Junior Sister finally decide to bring her husband out for everyone to see?”
At this point, Nangong Liuyun chuckled lightly:
“You’re right, Big Sister. Of course, I want to show him off and also check if any persistent bad women might come looking for trouble.”
“Tomorrow is our wedding day, so if anything unexpected happens, it will affect my mood.
So, I hope to eliminate all unstable factors tonight.
Big Sister, you should support me, right? If even you turn against me, I’d be very troubled…”
“Oh…I definitely support Little Junior Sister. Don’t worry, I won’t let any bad woman get close to your husband.”
Nangong Xinwan, who had also snapped out of her shock, chimed in:
“Sister, relax. If any bad women do show up, I’ll help too.”
“Alright, I believe in Big Sister and Xinwan…
Speaking of which, I’ve been busy and forgot to go consult with the Jiang family about tomorrow’s wedding plans. I also need to invite someone from the Imperial Palace.
Since Mother can’t make it, these arrangements are all on me.
Why don’t my husband stay here with Big Sister and Xinwan and enjoy some spirit tea to relax? I’ll be back soon.
With them around, I’m sure he’ll be safe…”
Jiang Xuan: “? ? ? ? ? ?”
At this moment, Jiang Xuan noticed that Luosheng and Nangong Xinwan were eyeing him strangely after hearing this.
Realizing something wasn’t right, he quickly spoke up:
“Wife… I’ll come with you. It’s been a while since I went back to the Jiang family…”
“No need. This is something better suited for me. As for visiting the Jiang family, we can go after the wedding. For now, you should stay here at Nangong Mansion. It’s the safest place in the small imperial city for now.”
“Don’t worry, Little Junior Sister. If any bad women come looking, I’ll take care of them, protect him and Xinwan.”
“Thanks, Big Sister… Relax, my husband. Just rest assured that I’ll be back soon.”
After saying this, Nangong Liuyun vanished from the courtyard.
Confirming Nangong Liuyun had left, Luosheng and Nangong Xinwan felt a little unreal for a moment, each preoccupied with their own thoughts.
Inside, Luosheng thought to herself:
“What is Little Junior Sister trying to do? This is crazy!
From what I sense, her aura really went to the Jiang family.
Which means… she truly trusts me…
Wait, no, this looks like a test!
The trap is too obvious!
If I even think wrongly, she might show up immediately.
Still, let’s observe. Maybe if Little Junior Sister isn’t testing me, there might be a good opportunity…”
Over on the other side, Nangong Xinwan, still dazed, privately asked Mo Han:
“Teacher, judging by your perception, could my sister be hiding?
I remember last time, she also hid and then appeared when I was about to take over.”
“It’s odd… Xinwan, based on my perception, your sister is currently at the Jiang family compound.
It seems she might be telling the truth, but she may have also created false auras…
Anyway, we’re not ready to act yet.
Besides, Senior Sister is here guarding, so I can’t be certain I can rescue Teacher. If delayed even slightly, it will surely alert Nangong Liuyun.
Let’s have you probe her in reverse, first confirm if she’s hiding or not.
Then, we’ll follow the original plan and alert the others, the hijacking needs to speed up.”
“Ok, as teacher says…”
Unlike the two, Jiang Xuan had long heard from Nangong Liuyun about testing Xinwan and Senior Sister.
Of course, he’d become the bait.
Initially, Jiang Xuan remained calm about such situations.
Until he accidentally asked his system, “System, where is Liuyun right now?”
“Beep! Answering Host, scans indicate Nangong Liuyun is currently in the Jiang family.”
“Huh?”
“No way, she really went to Jiang family, where am I?”
“Beep! Scans indicate Host is at Nangong Mansion.”
“Huh?”
“I didn’t ask you to check that!”
“Beep! Detecting Host’s displeasure, temporarily shutting down. System upgrades for one month, Host please look forward to.”
“Huh?”
“That’s an extreme reaction! Fine, just upgrade when nothing else works…
Wait, are you just going to hide whenever things get tough?
No way! Come out and deal with this first!”
No matter how Jiang Xuan called, the system remained silent. In resignation, he gave up for now.
Back to the present reality.
In the small courtyard, Luosheng and Nangong Xinwan often glanced at Jiang Xuan.
Just then, Luosheng poured some spirit tea.
“Don’t worry. No matter what happens, I will protect you. Here, drink some warming spirit tea…”
“This… Thank you, Senior Sister… But I’ll skip the tea.”
Having once drunk a sleeping spirit brew, Jiang Xuan was wary of others’ spirits. Especially Luosheng’s.
Of course, if Nangong Liuyun was indeed hiding, he might freely drink spirit tea.
But she actually went to the Jiang family – he was in the clear.
While unsure of Liuyun’s intentions, Jiang Xuan decided to hold off on the tea.
Seeing this, Nangong Xinwan stepped in:
“Uh… Could Senior Sister step out for a moment? I… have something with him.”
Upon hearing this, Luosheng’s eyes gleamed brighter. She immediately nodded:
“Of course, just wait outside for us, call when you’re done…”
Luosheng wouldn’t directly harm Jiang Xuan – especially without confirming what Liuyun planned.
She wouldn’t be the lead bird, either. Initially, she only taught Xinwan because they shared traits.
Good timing to let Xinwan be the scapegoat to judge Liuyun.
If Liuyun doesn’t try to stop Xinwan, then she’ll intervene. Naturally, she would disguise differently and act.
As Luosheng left, Jiang Xuan glanced at Nangong Xinwan with confusion.
“What is it, Xinwan? Is there something you want to talk about?”
Nangong Xinwan stepped forward, gripping both of Jiang Xuan’s hands with a grin:
“Um… My sister is counting on you for her future…”
Jiang Xuan: “? ? ? ? ? ?”
