Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife-Chapter 2042 - 523: Jin Sha Acting Strange (Second Update)
Long Zhan and Jin Sha looked at each other, then at the composed Old Clan Chief. In the end, they could only grit their teeth and plop down on the chairs.
They didn’t believe Long Zixuan could sleep through to next year!
An Yiqing slept as if the world was in darkness, only waking up late at night. Meanwhile, Long Zixuan and Yin Xilin, with one just recovering physically and the other still young, both slept in until the next morning.
Jin Sha and Long Zhan stayed up the entire night biting their teeth in the hall, without even catching a glimpse of Long Zixuan.
The next morning, with dark circles under their eyes, the two of them groggily prepared to leave the Clan Leader’s Residence, only to run into Long Zixuan and Yin Xilin coming out of the same room.
It seemed they had just woken up.
Upon seeing this scene, Jin Sha’s eyes widened in anger, and she blocked Long Zixuan.
"Zixuan, why are you staying in the same room as this little girl?!"
Long Zixuan’s red lips curved slightly with a mischievous smile, "Lingling is my young mistress. I always sleep in the same bed with her. Is there a problem?"
Back when he was just a Little Red Snake, he ate and slept with Yin Xilin every day, and they had long become an inseparable part of each other’s lives. Even now, having broken the seal, he didn’t see any issue with living under the same roof with Yin Xilin. And to Yin Xilin, regardless of Long Zixuan’s appearance, he was forever her Little Red Snake, without any distinction of gender between them.
As for An Yiqing, she was never one constrained by worldly norms. In her heart, regardless of Long Zixuan’s appearance, he was just the obedient Little Red Snake. Moreover, she trusted Long Zixuan’s character not to do anything inappropriate to Yin Xilin. Furthermore... An Yiqing was not blind to the tiny little schemes in Long Zixuan’s heart.
However, these were things An Yiqing could accept, the Old Clan Chief could accept, Elder Jin could accept, and everyone in the Clan Leader’s Residence could accept. That didn’t mean Jin Sha, this woman, could accept them.
"Mistress?! Zixuan, you’re a noble Dragon Clan member. How can you accept a human as your mistress?!" Jin Sha glared at Yin Xilin, glanced from top to bottom with thick disdain, "This girl looks charming, she might have learned some kind of seductive technique to entice men. So young, living in the same room with an adult man, what did your parents teach you?"
Long Zixuan’s expression suddenly darkened.
"Mother, please take back your words and apologize to Lingling. Otherwise, I won’t mind exercising the privileges of the Young Master of the Dragon Clan."
Jin Sha was stunned, unable to believe these words came out of her son’s mouth.
"How rude! Zixuan, she is your biological mother. How can you speak to her like that?" Long Zhan couldn’t stand it any longer and shouted, posing with a father’s authority.
Now, tears flowed down Jin Sha’s face as she looked at Long Zixuan with a resentful expression, "Son, I know you’re upset with me for not coming to find you all these years. I couldn’t help it. I’ve eaten and slept poorly, crying every day. If it weren’t for your father stopping me, I don’t know how many times I would’ve killed myself. Zixuan, you can blame me, but I did it for your own good! You’re the Young Master of the Dragon Clan, you’ll inherit the Dragon Clan one day. In the future, you’ll marry a pure-blooded Dragon Clan woman as your wife. That’s what suits your life best. This little girl, she’s just a human, you and she won’t have a future together!"
Long Zixuan got a headache from Jin Sha’s crying, feeling it was all a mess!
Yin Xilin had been silent all this time, quietly sitting on a stone bench beside them, resting her chin in her hand as she watched Jin Sha perform. Not knowing what she was thinking, she suddenly laughed out loud.
Jin Sha’s crying abruptly stopped as she looked at Yin Xilin in disbelief, thinking she was being mocked. Long Zhan also looked at Yin Xilin with disdain, feeling she had no manners at all.
Long Zixuan glanced at the little girl who loved watching the show and asked softly, "What are you laughing at?"
Yin Xilin waved her little hand and looked at Jin Sha with a smile, "Nothing, just found this lady quite interesting. You say day and night you miss the Little Red Snake, washing your face with tears, unable to eat or sleep. But ma’am, your figure is so full and round, it doesn’t look like you skip meals at all."
Long Zixuan shook his head speechlessly at Yin Xilin’s fox-like smile but couldn’t hide the smile in his eyes. More than the name Long Zixuan, he preferred the way Yin Xilin called him ’Little Red’. Although it sounded a bit childish and simple, for some reason, Long Zixuan just found it pleasing to hear when Yin Xilin said it!
Jin Sha’s face turned red and white with embarrassment, feeling like she had been exposed. She seized a moment when Long Zixuan wasn’t looking to glare at Yin Xilin fiercely, trying to intimidate her.
"Mother, please don’t challenge my limits, or the results will be beyond what you can bear. I’ll consider your words as the consequences of your old age and confusion. However, I will only tolerate this once. If you insult Lingling again, don’t blame me for not warning you. As for my marriage and future, since you haven’t cared for decades, there’s no need to care from now on. Elder Jin, please escort them out. Mother is getting old, better not leave home unnecessarily."
With that, ignoring the protests of Jin Sha and Long Zhan, Long Zixuan walked to Yin Xilin, patted her little head, took her small hand, and left the courtyard.
Little did they know, in the room next to Yin Xilin’s, An Yiqing watched the scene unfold clearly.
She curled her lips into a faint smile.
After Jin Sha and Long Zhan were driven away, they thought that with Long Zixuan’s warning, the two would restrain themselves some. But unexpectedly, the next evening, they appeared once again at the Clan Leader’s Residence.
Just after having dinner with everyone, An Yiqing raised her eyebrows in surprise upon seeing the couple.
What reason did this peculiar couple have for such thick skin? Was it just to curry favor with Long Zixuan?
Frowning slightly, An Yiqing watched as Jin Sha walked towards the study with a basket in hand.
Ever since Long Zixuan’s recovery, he gradually began handling the Dragon Clan’s affairs. The Old Clan Chief, enjoying the leisure, directly gave Long Zixuan free access to the Clan Leader’s Study Room.
Every evening after dinner, Long Zixuan would be locked in the study room with Yin Xilin. Long Zixuan handled clan affairs, while Yin Xilin pored over the Dragon Clan’s medical books with great interest. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
When Jin Sha opened the door, Long Zixuan and Yin Xilin were both taken aback.
Then, Long Zixuan’s face darkened.
"Mother, this is the Clan Leader’s Study. You should understand the rules!"
Jin Sha’s smile stiffened, then she repeatedly apologized, "I was anxious to see you, so I forgot the rules. Zixuan, don’t be angry, it was my oversight."
She spoke while taking two white jade bowls from the basket she carried.
"I spent the whole afternoon making some nourishing porridge for you and the Girl Lingling. Your body has just recovered and needs nourishment. Lingling’s physique is too weak, she’s still developing, and needs good nutrition. I was wrong yesterday, I acted impulsively. Don’t take it to heart, the porridge is my apology."
As she spoke, Jin Sha’s eyes reddened, looking apologetically at Yin Xilin and Long Zixuan.
Long Zixuan and Yin Xilin glanced at each other, unsure of what Jin Sha was up to. However, considering the good intentions of Long Zixuan’s mother, Yin Xilin didn’t want to turn her down.
"Thank you, ma’am." With that, she picked up the bowl of porridge filled with precious herbs, tasted a sip, "It tastes good, thank you for your hard work, ma’am."
Seeing Yin Xilin eat, Jin Sha immediately showed a satisfied smile, "It’s not hard at all. As long as Lingling likes it. Zixuan, you..."
While speaking, she looked at Long Zixuan with anticipation.
Long Zixuan’s expression also softened considerably, feeling his mother wasn’t beyond saving. He picked up the white jade bowl, tasted a sip, and nodded.
"Mother put thought into it, it’s delicious."
Jin Sha looked fulfilled, watching with a smile as Long Zixuan and Yin Xilin finished the porridge, collecting the bowls happily before leaving.
After Jin Sha and Long Zhan left, the two stayed in the study for a while longer before turning off the lights and heading to bed.
Meanwhile, An Yiqing had already returned to her room, sitting cross-legged to cultivate.
Deep in the night, several dark figures moved along the mountains, carrying one large and one small person on their shoulders.
