Chapter 16: The so-called husband and wife

Yi Fan returned to his house and saw a rather pretty maidservant sticking her waist out the door with an extremely impatient look.

“Master Fan, where did you run off to just now?” Xiang Yun coldly smiled, then continued, “Going out so late and only returned dead in the night, you were probably fooling around in the red-light district.”

Yi Fan swept a glance at Xiang Yun, and said, “Exactly ah! You guessed it, you really are just so clever.”

Xiang Yun immediately became angry, “You already have Miss yet you still ran over to the red-light district?”

Yi Fan casually said, “Your family’s Miss can only be looked at, not touched. Even if she’s beautiful, what use is she? What’s more, while she is definitely beautiful, she keeps on wearing a stepmother face all day long, making people who sees it completely lose their appetite.”

Xiang Yun angrily glared at Yi Fan, and spat out, “Master Fan, your strength is so poor yet you actually have the face to be so picky with Miss? If you have the leisure to fool around with prostitutes, why not learn a bit more from your two older brothers and work harder. If you actually make some progress, maybe your Father will even spare you a glance.”

“Little girl, which one of them did you take a fancy too? Go try and hook them yourself, why come and bother me?” Yi Fan lightly said.

Xiang Yun stared at Yi Fan’s retreating back, and fiercely stomped.

Yi Fan ignored Xiang Yun and directly left. Mu Xuelan walked out at this time, Yi Fan lightly glanced over at her before entering his bedroom.

Xiang Yun turned to look at Mu Xuelan, “Miss, look at him ah!”

“It’s not like today is the first day you know him, forget it,” said Mu Xuelan.

Xiang Yun however was still dissatisfied, and continued, “That guy has no ability whatsoever, yet has such a big temper! Who does he think he is ah! He actually would even show a cold face to Miss.” Xiang Yun was brought up as Mu Xuelan’s personal servant girl. She originally thought that if her luck was good, she could also serve the new Master together with Mu Xuelan. Even if she wasn’t as good as Mu Xuelan, she still beats over many of the ordinary women.

Mu Xuelan was a rare beauty in the world, Xiang Yun always thought that Mu Xuelan would marry someone handsome and outstanding. Yet she never thought that Mu Xuelan and the Second Prince would have such a big fall out, and turned around to marry Yi Fan, Yi family’s Yi Huo and Yi Bing. These two cultivators were ranked on the Seven Imperial Talents’ fifth and sixth place, both were outstanding and handsome, however, this Yi Fan…

“Enough, don’t say anymore,” Mu Xuelan took a deep breath.

That year when the Second Prince married Chen Manwu, she also married Yi Fan in a fit of anger.

Mu Xuelan originally thought that she wouldn’t regret it, but in fact, she completely regretted it. After marrying Yi Fan, she and him agreed on a few basic rules that included Yi Fan not touch her, which he readily accepted. Mu Xuelan thought this unfavored person in the Yi family would be easy to control.

But the fact was, Yi Fan was very disgusted with her. Yes, Mu Xuelan never thought that Yi Fan, this person would be disgusted with her. However, she also looked down on Yi Fan, and Yi Fan looked down on her the same.

“Miss, you look at him ah! With such poor aptitude, but still doesn’t know to improve himself. No wonder Yi Xun put all his focus on Yi Huo and Yi Bing, and didn’t care about this bastard at all. He himself is not favored, but he still involved Miss,” Xiang Yun complained, fully annoyed and displeased.

“Enough, that’s just how he is,” said Mu Xuelan.

“If that guy was even half as good as Yi Huo or Yi Bing, than Miss you wouldn’t have follow him in be treated as a joke,” Xiang Yun couldn’t help but clenched her teeth as she said this.

“It’s fine, either way it wouldn’t be much longer.” The Second Prince had already said that when the current political situation stabilized, he would welcome her through the door. For so many years, Mu Xuelan had to endure much ridicule and mocking, she had long ago lost her proud and arrogant attitude.

“Miss, what did the Second Prince say ah!” Xiang yun cautiously asked.

Mu glanced at Xiang Yun, and said: “What are you asking so much for?”

Xiang Yun somewhat unhappily bit her lip, and said, “I’m also worried about Miss.”

Ghost Doctor’s Courtyard.

“Young Master, are you awake?” Qi Heng asked as he looked at Qi Shaorong.

Qi Shaorong supported his forehead, “I have a bit of a headache ah!”

“You drank and chatted with Young Master Hao until very late yesterday night,” said Qi Heng.

Qi Shaorong squinted his eyes and said, “No wonder I have a headache.”

Qi Heng curiously asked, “Young Master, do you have any feelings for Young Master Zhuang Hao?”

Qi Shaorong blinked, “How should I say it? He is an extremely handsome guy ah! It’s just that he’s still a bit young, you can tell at a glance that he still hasn’t fully developed.”

Qi Heng helped to support his forehead and replied, “Young Master, you aren’t much older. Actually, you’re younger than Young Master Zhuang Hao by a bit…”

Qi Shaorong stared at Qi Heng, “Thank you very much for your reminder.”

“You’re welcome.”

“Although I’m young, I am mature and experienced,” said Qi Shaorong.

Qi Heng, “…”

“Ghost Doctor qianbei , Ghost Doctor
qianbei !” A loud shout suddenly came from outside.

Qi Shaorong rubbed his temple, and said, “This younger brother of Zhuang Hao is so energetic ah!”

Qi Heng, “…”

“Young Master Qian ah! How come you’re here?” Qi Shaorong asked the highly spirited Zhuang Qian who just entered the room.

“My brother is leaving to do a task, he wants to ask if you want to go together. Ghost Doctor qianbei , if you go on the mission with my brother, you can see exactly how amazing my brother is!” said Zhuang Qian.

Qi Shaorong, “…”
