Chapter 250: Chapter 250: Senior Sister’s Red Luan Star Is Moving, Peach Blossom Luck Is Coming

Ling Xiaoxuan didn’t like to hear that. She held Qin Ruan’s arm and exaggeratedly said,

"How can you downplay it like that, you are literally my lifesaver, I’m even thinking of offering my body as a reward!"

She was truly very grateful to Qin Ruan.

While this junior seemed cold-hearted, she was actually very loyal.

Most importantly, they had known each other for so long and this girl had so many hidden talents.

Before the encounter with the Mountain Demon, she had no idea that Qin Ruan could even catch puppets.

The ability was even above the Heavenly Masters the Ling Family had found last time.

"You can keep your body to yourself, I’m already committed to someone."

Qin Ruan pulled Ling Xiaoxuan’s arm down, turned around and casually stuffed the card in her hand into the bag on the table.

"Committed?!" Ling Xiaoxuan was stunned.

Qin Ruan is younger than her, but she’s saying she has a commitment.

"Are you kidding? Did your stepmother finally make a blatant move against you?"

Ling Xiaoxuan had never asked about Qin Ruan’s family before, and was very measured in their relationship.

But now, she can no longer hold back.

If Qin Ruan were indeed harmed by her stepmother, she would never stand by and watch her being bullied.

"No."

After putting down the card, Qin Ruan turned back and smiled.

"I chose it myself."

She made no pretense about it.

From their first encounter at the Imperial Court Hotel in the past life to Qin Ruan’s approach to Lord Huo in this life with a pregnancy test.

If you look closely, it seems like she took the initiative each time.

Isn’t the Third Lord the husband she chose herself?

But Ling Xiaoxuan was incredulous, "Qin Ruan, stop joking, how old are you, huh?"

"Just old enough to get married and have children."

Qin Ruan crossed her arms and nodded at Ling Xiaoxuan.

"Speaking of which, shouldn’t you be resting at home for a while longer? Why are you here at school, trying to escape something?"

"..." Ling Xiaoxuan was stunned again.

Her mouth fell open, and she stared at Qin Ruan in bewilderment.

"Are you saying you have fortune-telling abilities besides puppet catching?"

"Somewhat." Qin Ruan nodded lightly.

Seeing her resigned expression, Ling Xiaoxuan complained, "The world is crazy!"

Qin Ruan chuckled, "What happened?"

"Do you remember the Du Family?"

"The family of your ex-fiancé?"

"Yes." Ling Xiaoxuan nodded emphatically, "Du Changheng is dead, and the Du Family wants me to continue with the wedding. Are they insane?

I am a beauty, who wants to marry a puppet! Du Changheng was the one who messed up first, the Ling Family was already lenient in letting them go, and now they have the nerve to push their luck!"

A ghost marriage?

Qin Ruan’s brows furrowed.

Usually, ghost marriages are due to local custom.

Which is to find a spouse for the dead.

Some people believe that if someone dies unmarried and a mate is not found for them after death, their ghost will create mischief and cause disturbances at home.

Therefore, according to many local customs, a ghost marriage ceremony will be held for the unmarried family member after their death.

The found spouse will be buried with the deceased to become his or her partner in a "bone-mingling" burial.

This also avoids creating a lonely grave.

In ancient times, people were superstitious about the geomantic omen of graves, believing that the presence of a solitary grave could affect the prosperity of future generations.

Many nobles or rich families often engage in such practices.

Of course, ghost marriages nowadays can also serve as a form of emotional solace for the family, out of consideration for their unmarried deceased children.

As for the Du Family...

Qin Ruan’s brows knotted, she looked perplexed.

Given her impression of Du father and Du mother from Qi Mountain, they didn’t seem like the type to offend the Ling Family for their son’s sake.

She stared into Ling Xiaoxuan’s eyes. Her gaze, calm as a lake, flashed a faint golden glow.

After a while, Qin Ruan finally sensed that something was off, "Sister, have there been any strange occurrences around you lately?"

"Strange occurrences?"

Ling Xiaoxuan was creeped out.

Every time Qin Ruan started a conversation like this, it never spelled good news.

Ling Xiaoxuan touched her arm, "Qin Ruan, don’t scare me, I’ve been eating and sleeping well recently, apart from the annoying matter of the Du Family visiting, everything is normal."

"Is that so?"

Qin Ruan couldn’t help but grin at her pale face.

"Yes!" Fearful that she wouldn’t believe her, Ling Xiaoxuan nodded vigorously.

"Judging by your expression, your lucky love star is shining. Have you encountered anyone interesting recently?"

Upon hearing these words, Ling Xiaoxuan’s fair face quickly turned a deep shade of red.

She averted her eyes, unwilling to meet Qin Ruan’s gaze.

She retorted defiantly, "Of course not. I just ended an engagement."

"If not, then why are you acting so guilty?"

Qin Ruan, clutching the book in her arms, walked up to Ling Xiaoxuan.

She extended her finger, lightly touching Ling Xiaoxuan’s forehead.

After a moment, she sighed, "Unfortunately, your love life is going to be a tough road to tread."

In order not to seem guilty, Ling Xiaoxuan looked directly into Qin Ruan’s eyes.

Upon hearing what Qin Ruan had to say, she remained unconcerned. She twirled her wine-coloured curls, acting naturally and confidently.

"The path doesn’t have to be easy. I don’t even want to think about other men in this lifetime."

Obviously, she has someone she likes.

Qin Ruan merely laughed and thought to herself that Ling Xiaoxuan was good at playing her cards close to her chest.

She saw through but didn’t say through it, "Xiaoxuan, good luck!"

Qin Ruan extended her arms and gave Ling Xiaoxuan a comforting hug.

"You’re too familiar, call me senior sister."

Her restraint made Ling Xiaoxuan breathe a sigh of relief.

Some things can’t be spoken about.

Once known, the reactions of others will not be blessings, but dubious and dissenting attitudes.

Qin Ruan let go of her, her face bore a smile that was sweet and attractive.

"Senior sister, I need to go now. Call me if you need anything."

Ling Xiaoxuan acted nonchalant, "I got it. I’ll just hole up in the dormitory, nothing can happen."

Qin Ruan: "Don’t be careless. I have a feeling that the Du Family is up to something."

"What can they do? If they want me to have a ghost marriage with Du Changheng, they’re dreaming!"

Ling Xiaoxuan flicked her enchanting curly hair, her eyebrows and eyes full of pride befitting a girl from an aristocratic family.

The Du Family’s status was not on par with the Ling Family’s. Even if they had any ideas, they would have to consider whether they could withstand the wrath of the Ling Family afterwards.

"Senior sister, I’m serious, the Du Family dares not offend the Ling Family. If they still choose to go against the Ling Family knowing the consequences, there must be bigger benefits behind it or they are forced by certain circumstances."

Qin Ruan had some speculation about the situation at the Du Family.

But without seeing it with his own eyes, it was ultimately just a guess.

Ling Xiaoxuan appeared uneasy, "That seems plausible."

The Du Family’s change of attitude was indeed strange. No wonder her uncle advised her not to reach out to the Du Family and to seek protection from Qin Ruan at school instead.

She didn’t know what Ling Xiaoxuan was imagining, but her charming face suddenly looked a bit afraid.

"Well, Qin Ruan, I have decided to go to the library with you!"

She even changed her previous decision.
