Chapter 190 The Brother-in-Law Who Had a Sister Complex Was Terrifying

Kuang Qingwu came over and glanced at the intimate posture of the two playfully. He did a fist and palm salute and said, “Since you are safe, I can rest assured.”

Jiang Yashuang didn’t like him. But Kuang Qingwu had taken the initiative to help before, Jiang Yashuang had to say a few polite words. He held on to Qiu Yelan and reluctantly returned the salute, “Thanks for Young Prince’s generous help just now.”

“I didn’t manage to help.” Kuang Qingwu smiled, ” Did Commandery Princess Ningyi hurt her foot? I have some medicine for the injury here. If you need it...”

“We’ve also brought it with us, so there is no need to borrow yours.” Qiu Yelan immediately refused.

Kuang Qingwu smiled and said, “If this is the case, I won’t disturb you anymore. Goodbye!”

He walked away so fast, which confused the two who were wondering how to get rid of him.

Watching his little boat disappeared among the lotus leaves, Qiu Yelan suspiciously asked, “Did he just... Just came to say hello?”

“That should be it.” Jiang Yashuang intoned, but he was a little hesitant in his heart, “There’s something odd about the way that Kuang Qingwu looked at Lanlan...” He noticed that when Kuang Qingwu came over, the first thing he noticed was Qiu Yelan and then it was him. If Jiang Yashuang hadn’t happened to see it, he wouldn’t have even been able to notice the slightest difference between his switching gaze. The way Kuang Qingwu looked at Qiu Yelan seemed to be neither love nor hatred. Instead, it was complicated and hard to explain.

But he was definitely scheming...

“It seems that after sending Lanlan back to Green Villa in a while, I have to talk to her brother alone!” Jiang Yashuang frowned secretly and thought.

If Kuang Qingwu was scheming against Qiu Yelan, he was more likely to target at Qiu Jinglan.

After they returned to Green Villa, they were, as they had expected, severely scolded by Qiu Jinglan. Jiang Yashuang was the main target.

Qiu Jinglan, who was his future brother-in-law, was already hard to please. Now that his sister had been taken out by Jiang Yashuang, who had failed to take her back safely. How could he not be angry?

Qiu Yelan was led to the back by Ruan Ciyi. She took a shower, changed her clothes, made her knee-length hair dry, and drank a bowl of black plum drink before she returned to the front. However, Qiu Jinglan was still rambling on about Jiang Yashuang’s poor care.

Seeing Jiang Yashuang’s bitter smile and helpless expression, Qiu Yelan slid in front of Qiu Jinglan and said flatteringly, “Jinglan, I’m actually okay!”

“I know you’re okay!” Qiu Jinglan waved off the servants with a cold smile, “He’s the one who said you twisted your foot, right?”

Jiang Yashuang, who was standing on the right, was shocked. Qiu Yelan was also embarrassed and said angrily, “We just went out for a while in the middle of the day. Why did you send people to follow us?”

“Do I need others to tell me about such a trivial thing?” Qiu Jinglan glanced at them disdainfully and said with a sneer, “You are perfectly well, but he said that you twisted your ankle and couldn’t walk well. Do you really think I don’t know what you were planning? When I was in the South, I saw a lot of...”

Qiu Jinglan coughed again to cover up his slip of the tongue, but looking at the strange and flirting look of Jiang Yashuang and Qiu Yelan, he simply stopped coughing, and said indifferently, “In short, I have seen lots of these little tricks. If you want to hide it from me next time, try harder to think of something new, then I may need to think about it. You are engaged now and if you want to see each other occasionally, I can allow it. But...”

He suddenly got a very serious look, “Never do the things that shouldn’t be done! Otherwise...” He glared at Jiang Yashuang fiercely, “Don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

Jiang Yashuang hurriedly nodded and said yes, he felt bitter in his heart. What was more terrifying than having a brother-in-law who had a sister complex was not that there were two or three such brothers-in-law, but having a brother-in-law who had seen endless women without having intimate relationships with them. Not only did he know all Jiang Yashuang’s skills to flirt with a girl, but he also disdained them.

After sending Jiang Yashuang away, Qiu Jinglan started to talk with Qiu Yelan, who had failed to escape. He gave her a four-hour lecture on “99 sad ways for a woman to end up with if she doesn’t have enough self-respect”. Then Qiu Jinglan waved to let her go till he was tired, “Go rest for a while. It’s almost time for dinner.”

Qiu Yelan ran back to the small courtyard where she and Ruan Ciyi lived, and threw herself into the arms of her cousin, crying and complaining, “Don’t you love me now? I was there for a really long time, but you didn’t send anyone to get me! ”

Ruan Ciyi was hugging and rubbing Whitey. She said with a grin, “It’s not convenient for your brother to go out now. It’s boring for him to stay at home all day long. Just pretend that you were keeping him company.”

“...” Qiu Yelan looked at her cousin, who seemed to become naughty after she was cheerful again, and was speechless for a while. Then she said angrily, “I want to spend time with him, but he just wants to scold me, OK? He’s not tired of talking but I’m tired of listening.”

“It’s okay. We’ll have dinner soon. If you’re tired, just go to sleep after dinner!” Ruan Ciyi said in a relaxed way. Seeing Yelan’s speechless face, she turned her eyes, “Oh, someone you wouldn’t expect came to the villa today. I wonder if we’re gonna have dinner together later. Guess who?”

Qiu Yelan huffed, “I don’t want to guess!”

“Alright, don’t guess then.” Ruan Ciyi said cheerfully.

“Is it the Duke of Puyang you were talking about before?” Qiu Yelan gave her a hateful look, and after a while, she couldn’t help but ask.

She remembered that among the people she had mentioned to Ruan Ciyi in their casual talks, this one was the most unexpected. But what was he doing here?

“Wrong!” Ruan Ciyi said immediately, “Why would that one come over? Even if something really happened, the old Princess wouldn’t let him come here. His health condition...”

“Is it Qiu Nie and the others?” Qiu Yelan pondered for a while and asked.

Ruan Ciyi shook her head, “How is it possible?”

“Xue Nongying?”

“Of course not!”

“Prince of Yan or Prince of Zhou?”

“If they were here, would your brother have time to scold you for so long?”

“Is it Prince Qiyang?” Qiu Yelan was already taking wild guesses.

Ruan Ciyi laughed, “The more you guess, the further you are from the right answer. None of your guesses is right!”

“Who is it then? Is the person related to us?” Qiu Yelan had become curious because of her.

Ruan Ciyi smiled and said, “Of course the person is related to us. Otherwise, why did I let you guess? Haha, but it seems that you can’t guess it!”

“I don’t believe it!” Qiu Yelan rolled up her sleeves and shouted, “Pang Hu!”

“Who is he? I have never heard of him!”

“Mei Xue!”

“I told you it was not her!”

“Prince of Qi!”

“Like what I said before, would your brother put a prince aside to scold you and Jiang Yashuang?”

“Xun Yuxi!”

“He didn’t come to Mount Dizi at all, did he?”

“Li Xuan!”

“This one is here, but not him!”

Soon it was dinner time, but Qiu Yelan still didn’t figure out who it was. Ruan Ciyi, who was naughty, refused to tell her who it was. Qiu Yelan was so curious that she waited anxiously for the dinner.

As soon as the servant came to ask them to have dinner, Qiu Yelan stood up all of a sudden, eagerly saying, “Go, go, go! Let’s check it out!”

“What’s the rush? I’ve told you that the person may not eat with us.” Ruan Ciyi put down Whitey with good grace and smiled proudly.

“Can’t I ask my brother?” Qiu Yelan curled her lips.

In the end, there was no need to ask Qiu Jinglan. As soon as she entered the Flower Hall, she saw her acquaintance, Qiu Feng, already sitting on the right with a cup of tea!

At the first sight of him, Qiu Yelan was shocked instead of happy and rushed to Qiu Jinglan, who was also holding a cup of tea sitting on the left. She asked nervously, “Jinglan, how are you doing? ”

“I’m fine.” Seeing it, Qiu Jinglan felt warm in his heart. He smiled and patted her hand, “Don’t worry, Qiu Feng is not here to fight me desperately this time.”

Qiu Yelan breathed a sigh of relief, and it was only then she had the mood to look at Qiu Feng. After more than three months, Master Qiu was thinner, but the whole person appeared more vigorous. In particular, there was occasionally a flash of light in his eyes, like purple lightning sweeping the sky in the darkness of the night, and when she made eye contact with him, she would feel a bit nervous.

However, although he looked like he had made great progress in his kung fu skills, his temperament seemed to have changed.

Although the former Qiu Feng was not talkative, he was not a silent person. He used to be playful and laughing freely. But now, Qiu Feng was only drinking tea in silence from the moment Qiu Yelan came in. He completely turned a blind eye to her.

After thinking for a while, Qiu Yelan felt that she hadn’t offended him. She asked her brother in a low voice, “What’s wrong with him?”

“He has got something to worry about.” Qiu Jinglan waved his hand at her, implying her not to mention it again. After all, the Flower Hall is not very big. No matter how low Qiu Yelan’s voice was, for a master at Qiu Feng’s level, it would be no different from just saying it out loud.

Qiu Yelan stopped talking obediently, but kept staring at Qiu Feng.

But she saw that when Ruan Ciyi, who was behind her, came in and dinner started, Qiu Feng still turned a deaf ear.

Qiu Jinglan specially prepared a small pot of wine for Qiu Feng over dinner, “This is your favorite 30-year-old Zhuyeqing.”

“Thanks.” Qiu Feng, who had been silent all night, finally spoke. After saying this, he opened the pot seal, lifted it, and drank it in one breath. After a few more mouthfuls of vegetables, he put the chopsticks down, “I am finished. Enjoy your meal. ”

Before the words completed, he had already left the place!

Ruan Ciyi seldom saw people who knew martial arts and gave a light cry at the sight of it.

Qiu Jinglan and Qiu Yelan were very calm about this kind of flying kung fu skill. They calmed Ruan Ciyi together, lest she suspected that the person who just dined with them was a ghost. Then Qiu Yelan looked at Qiu Jinglan eagerly.

The latter immediately warned, “No alcohol!”

“I don’t want alcohol!” The corner of Qiu Yelan’s mouth twitched and she said, “I just wanted to know whether he just get dumped by a female hero or not?”

Qiu Jinglan didn’t know whether to cry or laugh, “Do you think he is you? Thinking about love all the time?”

“Then why did he come to you?” Qiu Yelan looked suspicious, “He wanted to kill you before, and now he doesn’t even mention it, and he is willing to eat your food and drink your wine. This is not like him. Didn’t someone break up with him? So, he came to an experienced person for guidance. I was wrong!”

Before she finished speaking, Qiu Jinglan knocked her with a chestnut, “Stop talking nonsense!”

Ruan Ciyi hurriedly helped her, “Perhaps it was a misunderstanding before and it has been solved now.”

“Ciyi, you haven’t seen him a lot before, so you don’t know. That person was not as boring as he is today. He used to be very articulate. Suddenly his temperament changed drastically. There is no way the misunderstanding has been solved. It must have been worse!” Qiu Yelan sneaked to a place far away from Qiu Jinglan, and then said calmly, “And the way he looked just now seemed to tell us that he has been dumped!”

Qiu Jinglan narrowed his eyes, “I called him back to keep an eye on you. Now I’m wounded and can’t watch over you. I want him to stop you from running around and making trouble!”

“...” Qiu Yelan suddenly couldn’t stand it, and shouted in grief, “Really? I’m not that easy to be fooled.”
