Chapter 645: Mind Your Own Business About the Fairy (4)
The two landed in a secluded spot, conveniently transforming their attire to appear more like mortals, and then proceeded to the Chang Family.
The Chang Family was well-known in Huaiyang County as merchants, mainly because Old Master Chang was a benefactor, often opening the family granary to aid the county’s citizens during natural disasters.
Everyone within a hundred-mile radius called Old Master Chang "Mr. Chang, the Kind-hearted," as even the County Magistrate considered him a very respectable person.
Local scholars and those from impoverished families often received aid from Old Master Chang.
In Huaiyang County, Old Master Chang was universally respected, with no one speaking ill of him; even highway robbers would let the Chang Family’s carriages pass without taking a single penny.
However, this benevolent man had an idle son who wasted his days indulging in food and drink, neglecting proper business while mingling with a group of wastrel friends.
Old Master Chang was determined for his only son to study and earn a title, even arranging for him to marry first in the hope he would settle down and focus on his studies.
Unexpectedly, Chang Xian was utterly dissatisfied, as originally he was a free spirit, wandering among flowers without staying on any leaf, yet his father arranged a marriage which meant he was no longer free.
Getting married not only didn’t calm him but made him more discontent, starting to travel around, completely ignoring his new bride at home.
Two years ago, this young master suddenly returned with a beautiful lady, declaring he wanted to take her as a concubine. If the family agreed, he would study diligently; naturally, the Chang Family had no reason to refuse.
"Third Sister is truly foolish, completely bewitched by a common mortal," Xuan Shuang said with a frosty tone.
Qiann Yan: "Do you think Lann Zhen is a fool?"
Xuan Shuang was momentarily stunned, not quite understanding Qiann Yan’s point.
"Regardless of her innocence after spending some time in the Mortal World, she should know some of its rules. She is an Immortal, not an ordinary woman without any means of resistance. She simply invested all her thoughts into Chang Xian and doesn’t want to give up, willing to be a concubine."
Xuan Shuang wanted to explain but found her eldest sister’s words reasonable.
Third Sister is an Immortal, not an ordinary woman who is powerless to resist. If she truly despised Chang Xian for deceiving her emotions, even if she couldn’t kill him, beating him up and leaving without a trace would be easy.
Yet, for a dignified fairy to choose to be a concubine is self-degradation.
Xuan Shuang felt even worse.
"Here’s the Chang Family," Xuan Shuang looked at the tightly closed door, "Elder sister, I’ll go knock."
"Why knock? Just go find her directly, why disturb these mortals? We are here for Lann Zhen, not these mortals."
Qiann Yan swept her Divine Sense over the Chang Family and immediately detected Lann Zhen’s location, who was presently in a room sewing. She deliberately leaked some aura, letting Lann Zhen notice.
Lann Zhen’s complexion changed instantly, panicking and circling the room, unsure what to do.
At this moment, Qiann Yan and Xuan Shuang appeared in the room, casually setting up a Barrier, isolating it from the outside world, ensuring no one would notice what transpired within.
"Elder sister!" Lann Zhen had nowhere to hide, hanging her head dispiritedly in front of Qiann Yan, nervously twisting her fingers, pondering how to explain.
Qiann Yan: "A dignified fairy from the Immortal Grass Garden, coming to the Mortal World to be someone’s concubine?"
"Elder sister, you don’t understand matters of the heart..." Lann Zhen’s face was full of longing and sweetness. "I never knew how beautiful love could be until I met my husband, realizing what it means to be captivated for life. Elder sister, once you meet your beloved, you’ll surely understand me."
