Chapter 697: Chapter 691
 

After this incident, she learned one thing: no matter how good someone seems to be, they’ll forget who you are when their interests are at stake. So she didn’t blame herself for not telling the truth to Aunt Qin.

Nangong Shulan wasn’t that she didn’t trust Aunt Qin’s character, it was that she didn’t trust other people’s character. With time things will settle down and when they find out in the end, they’ll have calmed down.

“So that’s what happened! I was wondering why you guys brought so many pickles back from so far away. Xiao Yu hasn’t settled down and Lele is still studying, so there will be expenses everywhere. It’s good to earn some money by exchanging things.” Aunt Qin said.

Qin Xue was unaware of what was happening at home, and she was now doing something that left Xue Ling speechless.

“Master, do I really have to do this?” Xue Ling asked.

“Yes, it’s necessary.” Qin Xue looked at Xue Ling’s outfit and felt that she was really talented to come up with such a solution.

“But this way of dressing looks so strange.” Xue Ling said, pouting at her ragged clothes.

“If you don’t dress like this, how can you look miserable and unwanted? How can I take you home?” Qin Xue said.

“Master, you still can’t admit that you’re not smart enough. When Molin is not at home, does it matter if I’m there or not? When he comes back just tell him that you picked me up, that’s it.

As for other people, it’s not like they are watching your house all the time. Who knows when you picked me up? Even if I appear before them, they can’t say anything. It’s not like what you’re doing now is necessary.” Xue Ling said, and directly took off her ragged clothes. It’s not that she was unwilling to cooperate, but it was really unnecessary. And the clothes were too shabby as well.

“Uh, you make a good point. Alright, let’s do it your way. But we have to make up a convincing story. Molin is very smart.” Qin Xue said.

Actually, Xue Ling wanted to tell Qin Xue that Molin was just not asking her, it’s not like he didn’t know. Was all this really necessary? Was she sure this wouldn’t make people more suspicious?

But Xue Ling couldn’t say that. If she did, she was sure she would be scolded by Qin Xue.

“Then Master, you should think carefully. I’m going to check on the two young masters.” Xue Ling said and left, leaving Qin Xue to think of a reason on her own.

Qin Xue thought for a long time but couldn’t come up with a suitable excuse; Xue Ling was just too special. Even she herself wouldn’t believe it, let alone someone as smart as Chu Molin.

Should she try to develop hair dye? Otherwise, Xue Ling’s silver hair would be too conspicuous in this age.

She decided to give it a try, regardless of success or failure. Qin Xue entered the space to start her research as she watched Xue Ling play with the children.

After Qin Xue entered the space, Xue Ling told the children, “Little masters, your mother is getting sillier and sillier. It’s true that one becomes stupid as they get pregnant, and it doesn’t last just for three years. I don’t even know how she was able to be a doctor in a past life, and she was even a really good one too.” Xue Ling knew Qin Xue was truly gifted in medicine, learning quickly, and she had already studied up to the third medical book in the space.

But in other matters, she tended to be vague and foolish.

This might be her luck as a fool; getting the opportunity to have a space and a man who loved her dearly.

Qin Xue felt like she had a cheat code for life, reaping all the benefits. But why did it feel so comfortable for Xue Ling? Yes, comfortable. Hahaha.
