A very light scent of plants lingered in Xiaoqing's room. Ao Qingmei noticed that the scent came from an incense burner placed on the table. The light purple smoke was rising from the incense burner and spreading around. Taking a deep breath, Ao Qingmei quickly identified the scent as belonging to the three-green fig grass. The three-green fig grass is an extremely rare plant. The scent emitted by burning its stems and leaves can relax the nerves and help sleep... Nodding secretly, Ao Qingmei couldn't help but glance at Bai Suzhen beside him, and sighed in his heart that the other party was so meticulous.
Third sister, third sister, it seems that your sister Bai cares about you as much as I, your biological sister... Ao Qingmei smiled and felt relieved in her heart. It was rare that Bai Suzhen could accept her third sister, who was also a daughter. It was rare that she could treat her third sister as sincerely as her third sister treated her. It was really good that they loved each other so much and lived together so happily.
"Third sister's injury this time is quite serious." Walking to the bed, looking at Xiaoqing who was still pale after taking the Nine Dragon Pill, Ao Qingmei frowned, feeling a little regretful that she had been too lenient towards the monk Fahai.
"Ever since she met me, Qing'er seems to always be hurt." Bai Suzhen sat down beside Xiaoqing's bed. She reached out and gently moved a strand of hair that was covering Xiaoqing's eyes. Staring at the sleeping Xiaoqing, she couldn't help but sigh softly and whispered self-blame.
"Sister Bai is wrong." Ao Qingmei smiled and shook her head, saying, "Our Third Princess Long didn't get hurt until she met you, Sister Bai. Before that, she had a small fight every three days and a big fight every five days. She was injured every three days. In fact, I should thank Sister Bai. Since the third sister met Sister Bai, she has become much more mature in her behavior. She is no longer like before, always standing up for others without knowing the height of the world. It is good to have a chivalrous heart and the courage to eliminate evil, but there are always people outside the sky. There are many powerful demons, and our third sister is a fearless person. When she meets a strong enemy, she doesn't know how to avoid it, which often makes me, my eldest sister, and my father, the king, and the queen worry about her safety. In the future, with Sister Bai by my side, my eldest sister, my father, the king, and the queen can rest assured and don't have to worry about her anymore. It's just that I have to trouble Sister Bai to discipline and take care of my third sister for us."
"The Second Princess—"
"Sister Bai, just call me Qingmei. We are a family and we shouldn't be polite and distant."
"A family?" Bai Suzhen caught that word sensitively. She was startled for a moment, then looked up at Ao Qingmei, meeting her knowing eyes: "Third sister and I have been close since childhood, and she never hides anything from me."
Bai Suzhen realized from Ao Qingmei's implication that he already knew what had happened between her and Xiaoqing. Although she knew that she would have to face Xiaoqing's family sooner or later, when she really faced them at this moment, she found that she was not as calm as she had imagined. She didn't know what to say to Ao Qingmei for a moment.
"Sister Bai, the fact that my third sister is willing to tell me what happened between you two means that she knows that I will understand and support her choice." Seeing Bai Suzhen's unnaturalness, Ao Qingmei smiled and made her position clear.
Bai Suzhen looked at Ao Qingmei with gratitude in her eyes: "Qingmei, thank you, thank you for your understanding and support...but-" After a silence, she couldn't help but ask: "-Qingmei, don't you blame me for leading Qing'er astray? If she hadn't met me, maybe she wouldn't like women..."
"As long as Third Sister is happy, it doesn't matter whether the person she likes is a man or a woman." Ao Qingmei interrupted Bai Suzhen and said indifferently.
Bai Suzhen smiled somewhat relieved. She was very grateful that Ao Qingmei thought so, but there was still worry between her brows. Seeing this, Ao Qingmei couldn't help but ask, "Sister Bai, are you worried about the attitude of my father and mother?"
Since Ao Qingmei asked, Bai Suzhen had no intention of hiding her worries. She nodded and said with a wry smile: "Women together will eventually cause criticism. Qing'er and I are not afraid, but... I am worried that your father and mother will find it difficult to accept us..." After a pause, she looked at Ao Qingmei and said, "Besides that, I don't know if your sister and brother will stand on our side like you, Qingmei, and understand and support us if they know about the relationship between Qing'er and me?" Bai Suzhen has already decided to be with Xiaoqing. She doesn't care about worldly rumors, but she cares about the opinions of Xiaoqing's family. Now she knows Ao Qingmei's position, but she doesn't know what attitude Ao Ningshuang and Ao Yufeng will take once they know about her relationship with Xiaoqing. As the righteous gods of the fairy world, the Dragon King and the Dragon Queen of the East China Sea have a noble status and a transcendent position. She is not sure whether they can accept their daughter being with a woman. These uncertainties made Bai Suzhen worried.
Ao Qingmei could understand Bai Suzhen's worries, but she didn't think it was a problem for her eldest sister and fourth brother. "My eldest sister has always been the most careful one among the four of us. She observes things in detail and is as careful as dust. Even if she doesn't say it, I believe she has already seen that the friendship between the third sister and Sister Bai is very close. But until now, the eldest sister has not had any objections. I think she is like me, and is also happy to see the third sister find her own happiness. As for Yufeng, Sister Bai doesn't need to pay attention to him. She joked that the third sister and the Peony Fairy were a couple who wanted to secretly match them up, so how could she mind that the third sister really liked a girl. It's just... if my father and mother knew that the third sister liked a girl, what kind of attitude would they have? I can't predict it at the moment-"
"But please rest assured, Sister Bai. My father and mother love me the most. As long as I am determined, they will not object. Even if my father and mother really oppose it, my eldest sister, Yufeng and I will do our best to persuade them to let you be together." Ao Qingmei promised. Her father and mother were not overbearing and tyrannical people. She didn't believe that she couldn't convince them if everyone spoke together.
"Thank you, Qingmei." Although she didn't know whether Xiaoqing's parents would agree to let them be together, Bai Suzhen was already very happy with the support of Ao Qingmei and the others. No matter what kind of test she faced in the future, she would be with Xiaoqing, sharing weal and woe, and never leaving her.
