Chapter 217: Two hundred sixteen, Inquiry

Yao Qing had no idea how she had managed to get home. After thoroughly cleaning herself, she buried herself in the covers and cried loudly. She was truly without the face to meet anyone after such a profound humiliation.

"Qingqing, you really are..." Song Yuyan pushed open the door, walked to the bed, and reached out to lift the comforter. She had just received a phone call from her father who had fiercely scolded her because of what Qingqing had done that day. She had intended to teach her daughter a lesson, but seeing her cry so heartbreakingly, she found it hard to remain stern.

"Mom... just let me be alone for a while..." Yao Qing’s choked voice came from under the covers.

"Qingqing, what exactly happened? Tell mom," Song Yuyan asked gently, patting Yao Qing under the comforter. She only knew a rough outline of the day’s events, that her daughter had embarrassed herself at the Bai Family and Qin Family’s wedding banquet, causing the Song Family to lose face as well.

"It was Luo Shu... it must be that bitch... she made me lose face... wu wu..." Thinking back to the moment when she had soiled her pants, Yao Qing felt as if she wanted to die. Brother Yan must have seen it; he must be so disappointed in her.

"What did Luo Shu do?" Song Yuyan asked, frowning.

"I suddenly had diarrhea... it must be her doing... mom... I can’t face anyone... what should I do..." Yao Qing lifted the covers and threw herself into Song Yuyan’s arms, sobbing heavily.

Song Yuyan gently patted Yao Qing’s back, a glimmer of viciousness flickering in her narrowed eyes, "Don’t worry! Mom will get justice for you." That wench, how dare she treat her daughter like this, she would never let her get away with it!

Song Xiran sat on the sofa with a gloomy expression, sipping red wine. The day’s events had brought his mood to an all-time low. Not only had he lost face in front of everyone, but upon returning home, he had been scolded by both his grandfather and father.

The more he thought about it, the angrier Song Xiran got. He forcefully threw his wine glass, "Crash!" it shattered, spilling wine all over the floor.

"Damn it!" Song Xiran angrily slapped the table, stood up, and strode towards the door.

Luo Shan leant on the windowsill, gazing out at the vast expanse of white with a joyous smile on her face. These past few days had felt as if she were living in heaven.

"Knock knock knock!" There was a gentle knocking at the door.

Luo Shan stepped forward and opened the door, seeing Song Xiran at the doorway, she involuntarily stepped back, "C-cousin!" For some reason, she always felt intimidated by this cousin.

Song Xiran nodded slightly, walked into the room, and sat down in a chair, motioning to the spot beside him, "Have a seat!"

Luo Shan bit her lip, walked forward, and took a seat, though she did not dare sit too close to Song Xiran.

"Are you afraid of me?" Song Xiran asked in a deep voice. Luo Shan and Luo Shu were clearly sisters, yet their personalities were so different; what could have caused this?

"No...not at all..." Luo Shan quickly shook her head.

Song Xiran curved his lips into a mild smile, speaking kindly, "We’re cousins, we’re family, there’s no need for you to be afraid of me." It was people like Luo Shan who truly seemed like they came from the countryside.

"Mhm!" Luo Shan nodded, her hands nervously twisting together.

"Luo Shan, can you tell me about your sister?" Song Xiran smiled as he looked at her. He needed to know her weaknesses to take targeted action. Today, Luo Shu caused him and his Song Family to lose so much face, and he had to reclaim the honor.

Luo Shan nodded and thought for a moment before saying, "My sister has been very kind to me and Xiao Zheng. She took us out of the village and gave us a stable life. Because of my father’s issue, I moved back home. Although she doesn’t like my father, she still arranged a good job for me." Thinking about her sister, her heart was filled with guilt.

Originally, she didn’t want to come to the Song Family with her cousin. Her cousin had said to her that only if they returned to the Song Family would her sister agree to return. Her sister had suffered too much over the years, and she hoped her sister could have a better life.

"How did your sister learn her medical skills?" Song Xiran asked. This was what he was most concerned about.

"It was taught to her by our grandfather, who was an Itinerant Physician. When Grandpa was alive, he was especially good to my sister. Sometimes, when he went up the mountain to collect herbs, he would take her along," said Luo Shan.

As Luo Shan spoke, Song Xiran kept staring into her eyes, "And your sister’s kung fu? Who did she learn that from?"

Luo Shan shook her head, "I don’t know!" She had never thought to ask these questions.

Song Xiran frowned and stood up to walk outside. He knew he wouldn’t get any more information from her, as Luo Shan simply didn’t know anything. It would be quicker to ask Luo Zheng; that boy was much smarter than Luo Shan.

Luo Zheng was in his room practicing the Five Animal Frolics when he heard a knock at the door and went to open it.

"Cousin!" Seeing Song Xiran standing at the door, Luo Zheng greeted him with a smile.

"Could we talk for a moment?" Song Xiran asked with a smile.

Luo Zheng nodded slightly and stepped aside to make room.

Song Xiran walked into the room, sat down on a chair, and after Luo Zheng sat down, he said, "I met your sister today. She has come to Jinchen."

"Really? Where is she staying now?" Luo Zheng asked excitedly.

Song Xiran smiled and nodded, "She’s now staying with the Lu family, together with Lu Hanmo. I tried to persuade her for a long time, but she refused to come back no matter what."

"Once my elder sister makes a decision, nobody can change it. Cousin, I will also be going back in a few days," Luo Zheng said. He had agreed to come to the Song Family just to see his mother’s home and to find out why his mother had been sent to the countryside.

"Don’t you like it here?" Song Xiran asked in surprise. The life here was much better than what he had before.

"It’s good, but it’s not what I want," said Luo Zheng. He had already made a promise to his elder sister that once he graduated from high school, he would join the Guard. Becoming a Guard Member was his greatest aspiration. Besides, Qin Che had the same idea, and at that time, he could go with Qin Che.

"Then what do you want?" Song Xiran asked with a smile. This kid was indeed more thoughtful than Luo Shan.

"To be a Guard Member! As soon as I graduate from high school, I’m going to be one," Luo Zheng said, his face reflecting a hint of yearning. His dream was to protect his family and country.

"Being a Guard Member requires a strong physique, and you can’t do it without kung fu," Song Xiran observed Luo Zheng with a smile.

"I am currently..." Luo Zheng almost blurted out, but quickly stopped himself. He wouldn’t reveal that he was practicing the Five Animal Frolics, not even to Song Xiran, his cousin.
