Miss Truth

Ran Yan fell silent for a moment. Chun Lai would rather die than protect Shilang. Was Shilang related to Li Ke? Even if there was a relationship, why would Chun Lai protect him?

"Do you think Chun Lai likes Shilang?" Ran Yan suddenly asked.

Xiao Song, who was lazily basking in the sun, heard her question and slightly raised his eyebrows, "I don’t know. If we assume normal circumstances, they grew up together since they were young. Although Shilang’s character is a bit lacking, his looks and talents are incomparable to those of ordinary young lords. There’s no reason not to like him, right?"

Ran Yan gave Xiao Song a faint look. She really didn’t understand how the Chang’an’s Gui Jianchou had the nerve to criticize others for their character flaws, especially since Xiao Xuanzhi looked much more gentle and refined than him.

"If it were before, I would think the same, but as Liu Qingsong said, emotions are unreliable. There’s nothing about causes and consequences," Ran Yan could not guess whether Chun Lai had deep feelings for Xiao Xuanzhi, and it was crucial. She paused and then said, "Instead of thinking about it here, why not ask her directly?"

After speaking, Ran Yan sighed. With Li Ke in the mansion, and it unclear whether he was friend or foe, it seemed inadvisable to meddle in this matter rashly.

Xiao Song, seeing her talk to herself, was very pleased and couldn’t help but gently stroke her hair as he spoke softly, "What’s so difficult about that? If you want to know, just trick it out of her."

Ran Yan’s eyes lit up, and she grabbed his hand, "How to trick her?"

Xiao Song called Bai Yi over, whispered a few instructions, then turned around and said, "Let’s go. We’ll take a walk to the back mountain!"

Xiao Song blinked, holding her hand and walking outside, "I might return to Chang’an in a day or two. I’m afraid there won’t be many more leisurely days. The weather is nice today, I’ll just accompany my wife."
