Outside in the courtyard, City Lord Lu squatted on the stone steps with a pale and haggard expression, as if he had aged many years.
Under the wisteria, the cold man picked up the tea that the servant had brewed again and took a leisurely sip.
The handsome, elegant man looked at him in puzzlement and asked: “Mo Ran, why did you let that little miss try? It’s impossible to get rid of the poison.”
Chi Mo Ran looked at the golden tea in the cup with indifferent eyes. After a while, he said: “Haven’t even tried, so how can one be certain it’s impossible to cure?”
“Mo Ran, do you know that little miss?” The handsome, elegant man leaned closer and asked: “She isn’t an illegitimate daughter of Third Uncle’s is she, you two look so alike.”
The handsome, elegant man was named Chi Xuan. He was the direct descendant of the Chi Clan and also Chi Mo Ran’s elder cousin. The two had always had a good relationship and didn’t have many taboos when chatting.
Chi Mo Ran raised his eyes faintly and glanced at Chi Xuan, “You’ve crossed the line.”
Seeing Chi Mo Ran’s cold expression, Chi Xuan knew that the other party didn’t want to say more, and it was obvious that the woman wasn’t his Third Uncle’s illegitimate daughter, otherwise Chi Mo Ran would definitely admit it based on his temperament.
Chi Xuan said no more, picked up the teacup and drank tea, pondering deeply.
The handsome, bright young man beside them heard what they said, and looked at Chi Mo Ran suspiciously, asking: “Eldest Brother, do we really have nothing in connection to that woman?”
The handsome, bright young man was named Chi Mo Huan, born to the Second Madam of the Chi Clan. He loved to follow Chi Mo Ran like a tail, and he also admired Chi Mo Ran the most.
Chi Mo Ran raised an eyebrow and asked instead: “What do you think?”
Chi Mo Huan scratched his head and thought for a while, saying: “I can feel that she doesn’t have the bloodline of the Chi Clan, but why does she look so similar to Eldest Brother?”
“She and I must be fated then.” Chi Mo Ran sighed with deep eyes.
Chi Mo Huan originally wanted to ask more, but seeing that Chi Mo Ran obviously didn’t want to speak more, he could only hold it and couldn’t help but become curious about the woman who looked very similar to his eldest brother.
When the gentle woman heard the conversation between the three, she lowered her eyes to hide the surprise and confusion in them.
Feng Chen and Huo Li Ruo three were sitting at another stone table not far from Chi Mo Ran. His face was cold and calm, as if he was thinking about something.
“Fake celestial, do you think Qing Qian and Mo Ran know each other?” Huo Li Ruo constantly felt that Chi Mo Ran’s attitude towards Yu Qing Qian was unusual.
The Young Lord of the Chi Clan was stern and didn’t like to meddle in other people’s business, many people knew this. But Chi Mo Ran’s behaviour just now seemed to be helping Yu Qing Qian, which wasn’t his style.
Most importantly was that Yu Qing Qian and Chi Mo Ran not only looked sixty to seventy percent alike, but that exact same pair of phoenix eyes made people unable to help but overthink.
Feng Chen furrowed his brows slightly, “You’re too nosy.”
Just what did Chi Mo Ran mean by those actions just now? He didn’t feel any hostility towards Yu Qing Qian from Chi Mo Ran. On the contrary, the other party seemed to be deliberately lowering his stance to show his kindness from the beginning.
From this point, it could be judged that Chi Mo Ran must know Yu Qing Qian’s identity.
Huo Li Ruo choked, “Then do you think Qing Qian can cure Lu Zhan?”
Feng Chen took a sip of tea slowly and said with trust, “Of course she can.”
“You sure got great confidence in her.” Huo Li Ruo’s peach blossom eyes revealed a bit of complexity.
Of course he also believed that Yu Qing Qian could cure Lu Zhan. After all, the poison that had been hidden in him for many years was cured by that woman. But where did Feng Chen get his confidence from?
He had yet to even understand the relationship between Feng Chen and Yu Qing Qian, and now a Chi Mo Ran appeared. It was truly getting more and more complicated.
