▶▶ Master Hou Madam Went To the Sky Bridge Again To Set Up a Stall
"Master Nangong is quite enthusiastic. He made things lively as soon as he arrived."
As soon as someone mentioned Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. The voice of Third Master sounded from the second floor.
He stood upstairs, holding Qin Ruan's small hand. His entire being exuded an air of stability and nobility, and a proud and cold smile appeared on his handsome face.
Hou Yirong and Nangong Chang, who were about to engage in another conflict, immediately stopped.
They stood downstairs, casually adjusting their clothes as if nothing had happened, with smiles on their faces, as if they were not the ones who had fought earlier.
After they stopped, the secret guards of the Hou family promptly cleaned up the aftermath.
Third Master Hou descended the stairs while holding Qin Ruan by her waist, and he greeted Nangong Chang, who always sought revenge for the smallest grievances, with a smile on his face.
His eyes were filled with a hint of mischief as he stared directly at Qin Ruan. "So this is Lady Hou. Indeed, your reputation precedes you. You are a great beauty."
Qin Ruan raised her eyelids slightly and gave Nangong Chang a faint glance.
This man was completely different from what she had imagined.
She thought Nangong Chang would be wicked and exude an aura of malevolence, but his presence was surprisingly clean.
Third Master introduced Qin Ruan, saying, "This is Young Master Nangong Chang from the Nangong family."
"Hello," Qin Ruan greeted, her tone cold.
Nangong Chang extended his hand to her. "Lady Huo, nice to meet you for the first time."
Qin Ruan lowered her gaze and stared at the hand before her, which had a faint trace of dried blood. Her beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly.
She was just about to politely shake hands when Hou Yunjiao held her by the waist and walked past Nangong Chang, sitting down on the sofa.
Nangong Chang, left behind by them, flashed a trace of sinister light in his eyes, his lips curving into an intriguing smile.
When he turned around, his face was composed and clean.
Nangong Chang casually sat down on the left side of Third Master Huo and teased, "Third Master, you keep your treasures hidden in a golden chamber. You've kept this news so tightly guarded. If the noble ladies from various families were to find out, who knows how many hearts would be broken."
Hou Yunjiao remained indifferent, maintaining a perfect curve on his elegant lips as he spoke in a gentle voice, "You're not far behind either. With the wedding approaching, how many young ladies shed tears over it?"
Nangong Chang smirked triumphantly, "I can't compare to Third Master. I have already accumulated countless romantic debts amidst a sea of flowers. You have maintained your purity for many years, but unexpectedly, you stumbled like this. When I heard the news, I was quite surprised."
His gaze remained fixed on Qin Ruan, filled with curiosity.
Hou Yirong sneered, "You acknowledge yourself as a libertine. What right do you have to compare yourself to my younger brother?"
He sat opposite Nangong Chang, his eyes gleaming with coldness, wishing he could grab Nangong Chang by the head and beat him.
"I naturally dare not compare myself to Third Master," Nangong Chang humbly replied.
Hou Yirong's words had no effect on him whatsoever.
Hou Yunjiao lowered his eyelids slightly, and his slender fingers lightly flicked the pristine sleeve that had not been tainted by dust. His words and actions carried a natural and elegant charm.
His voice was indifferent as he asked, "Young Master Nangong didn't come all this way just to catch up, did you?"
"Naturally not," Nangong Chang leaned back on the sofa and extended his hand to the bodyguard behind him.
The bodyguard immediately handed him a red envelope with a joyous cover.
Nangong Chang handed the wedding invitation to Qin Ruan with a smile and said, "I'm getting married in a few days. I would like Lady Hou to grace us with your presence. I didn't know about Lady Hou's existence before. It's all thanks to Third Master's secrecy. I almost missed inviting you, causing a breach in etiquette for the Nangong family."
After finishing his words, he even winked at Qin Ruan, his attitude so friendly that it was hard to find fault.
Qin Ruan wrapped her hands around Hou Yunjiao's arm and didn't reach out to take the invitation.
She lowered her gaze, staring at the hand that Nangong Chang held the invitation with, and noticed the dense black aura gathering on his hand.
The malevolent aura was dark and nearly concealed the color of the invitation in his hand.
Qin Ruan's expression wasn't pleasant.
She realized that all the malevolent aura accumulated by Nangong Chang throughout his life had gathered on his hand.
No wonder she had found him so clean before. He was using a secret technique.
By driving the malevolent aura to a specific location, one could delay the damage to one's lifespan and even have exceptional luck.
It seemed that Nangong Chang had some knowledge of metaphysics and had someone guiding him from behind.
Nangong Chang didn't retract the wedding invitation in his hand and held it up like that.
Seeing Qin Ruan's lack of response, just staring at his hand, Nangong Chang asked with a smile that was not a smile, "Lady Huo, are you unwilling to grace us with your presence?"
Qin Ruan snapped back to her senses and was about to make a move.
A hand as slender as jade, with distinct joints, reached out and took the wedding invitation that Nangong Chang offered.
Third Master pinched the invitation with his fingertips, lowered his gaze to admire the vibrant colors, and his lips curved slightly. "On that day, I will definitely accompany Lady Hou to congratulate Young Master Nangong and Miss Xiao on their wedding in advance."
Nangong Chang revealed a satisfied smile. "I will be there to welcome you, eagerly awaiting the arrival of Third Master and Madam Hou."
Hou Yunjiao tone was indifferent. "Please, there's no need to be so formal."
The smile on Nangong Chang's face faded, replaced by a hint of apology. "One reason for my visit today was to deliver the wedding invitation, and the other reason is to apologize to Madam Huo."
Qin Ruan's gaze flickered slightly, understanding what he was about to say next.
"Some time ago, I had a little pet that offended Lady Hou's family, causing some misunderstandings. However, that insensible thing was dealt with by me this morning. Lady Huo doesn't need to worry about any further troubles in the future."
"A pet?" Qin Ruan's red lips curved up, her voice cold and indifferent.
"Yes, a little pet I've kept for many years, with a bit of emotional attachment," he replied.
Nangong Chang leaned against the back of the sofa, his brows filled with a hint of sadness.
Seeing him in this state, Hou Yirong couldn't resist teasing him, "Ha! Nangong Chang, are you pretending or what?"
He had never liked this bastard, cunning, vengeful, and despicable. His methods were malicious and contemptible.
Nangong Chang had an innocent expression on his face, "How can you say it's pretending? It's just a bit of reminiscing. After all, it had been by my side for many years, and it used to please me. Although I've dealt with it, there's still a slight reluctance."
Qin Ruan glanced at him casually, "If you're unwilling to let go, why bother destroying it?"
Nangong Chang frowned and spoke righteously, "She offended Lady Hou, so she must pay the price."
Qin Ruan's expression turned slightly cold as she retorted, "So, it becomes my fault? Have I become the executioner who takes lives?"
"No, that's not what I meant," Nangong Chang waved his hand, his dark and profound eyes fixed on Qin Ruan's face, "It was the people beneath me who took action. This is my apology to Lady Hou. Please don't worry about the unpleasantness from before."
Qin Ruan's eyes dimmed slightly, and her voice turned cold, "I didn't pay it any mind, so why would I hold onto it? Young Master Nangong is overthinking."
Hou Yirong sneered, "I'm telling you, Nangong Chang, don't even think about shifting the blame onto my younger brother and sister. You created your own troubles, so deal with them yourself. Do whatever you want, as long as you don't involve my Hou family."
"Tsk!" Nangong Chang clicked his tongue and looked at Hou Yirong with pity in his eyes, "Isn't it just when we were kids, I pulled down your pants? Do you still have to hold a grudge after so many years?"
"Shut up!" Huo Yirong exploded in anger.
