"Big sister, second sister! How could it be you?" Xiaoqing thought she had misheard when she heard the voices outside the house. She didn't expect that the person who spoke was really her second sister Ao Qingmei. What made Xiaoqing even more unbelievable was that it was not only her second sister who came, but also her big sister Ao Ningshuang who rarely stepped out of the Dragon Palace. Xiaoqing was surprised and happy to see the two of them after not seeing them for a long time. She quickly ran to Ao Ningshuang, bowed, and happily called out, "Big sister."
Ao Ningshuang slowly opened her eyes and looked at Xiaoqing in front of her with a doting smile on her face: "Third sister, it's been a while."
Xiao Qing held Ao Ningshuang's hand and said with a bright smile: "Sister, I miss you so much. Are you okay? Do you miss me?"
"Well, third sister, it turns out that you only think about your elder sister and don't even think about me. Humph, it really makes me sad. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have accompanied my elder sister to find you." Ao Qingmei on the side pouted and complained repeatedly, pretending to be unhappy.
Xiao Qing rolled her eyes to the sky, glanced at Ao Qingmei, and said jokingly, "Second sister, is it because of me that no one dares to argue with you, the eldest lady? Your life has been boring recently, right?"
"You know I'd be bored if no one is around, but you're still hanging around outside? Don't you know to go home earlier? Did you meet someone you like and so can't bear to go back?" Ao Qingmei tilted her head and rested one hand on her cheek, looking lazy and charming.
Xiaoqing was silent for a moment and said nothing.
Ao Ningshuang's hand gently brushed Xiaoqing's cheek. Looking at the thin Xiaoqing, she sighed distressedly: "Third sister, you have lost weight. You are so old now, why don't you know how to take good care of yourself."
Xiao Qing smiled, grabbed Ao Ningshuang's hand, hugged Ao Ningshuang and said coquettishly: "Without my elder sister by my side, no one cares about me, so I will naturally lose weight."
Xiaoqing's words seemed careless, but Bai Suzhen, who was standing by the door, felt uncomfortable when she heard them. She stared at Xiaoqing in a daze for a long time, then suddenly looked away. Her hands hanging by her sides were clenched tightly, and her body was trembling slightly, as if she was trying hard to suppress some emotion.
"Really? No one cares about my third sister?" Ao Ningshuang sighed, feeling a little distressed. My third sister has been spoiled by everyone since she was a child, and she has never suffered any hardship. But now I can easily feel a faint melancholy in her body. This kind of emotion is something Xueyan has never had before. What on earth has she encountered in these few short months? Frowning slightly, Ao Ningshuang raised her eyes and looked at Bai Suzhen standing by the door, thinking.
"Third sister, I heard from Bai Fu and the others that you recognized a girl named Bai as your sister. I guess it must be this girl?" Ao Ningshuang lowered her head and looked at Xiaoqing in her arms.
Xiao Qing was startled, turned her head to look at Bai Suzhen, then raised her head, nodded at Ao Ningshuang, and replied, "Yeah."
"Oh, so she is the reason why you didn't return to Dragon Palace but stayed in the mortal world?" Ao Qingmei's eyes lit up. She looked at Bai Suzhen with interest and asked Xiaoqing in the dragon clan's unique secret language.
"Second sister, what are you talking about?" Xiaoqing frowned and asked in the same secret language.
Ao Qingmei chuckled, but ignored Xiaoqing. She stood up, walked gracefully to Bai Suzhen, gently curled her lips, stared at Bai Suzhen who seemed to be in a trance, and said with a smile: "Miss Bai? Hello, my name is Ao Qingmei, and I am Xiaoqing's second sister." Realizing that there was still a mortal Xu Xian present, Ao Qingmei swallowed the word Xueyan that was about to her lips and changed it to Xiaoqing.
Bai Suzhen raised her eyes to look at Ao Qingmei, and was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses. She smiled at Ao Qingmei apologetically and said, "Miss Ao, I'm sorry, Suzhen is rude."
Ao Qingmei stroked her hair with her fingertips and said with a sweet smile, "Miss Bai, there's no need to be so polite. Although this is the first time we meet, there's no need to exchange pleasantries like ordinary people. It's better for everyone to get along more comfortably."
Bai Suzhen smiled and nodded, "That's great."
Ao Qingmei's eyes moved as she looked at Bai Suzhen thoughtfully.
"Xu Xian, these two are my sisters. They came to talk to me about something, so you don't have to stay here. Thank you for greeting them for me just now. Now you can continue with your work." Xiao Qing stood up, glanced at Xu Xian who was standing aside stupidly, and frowned in disgust.
"Oh, by the way, there are still many medicinal herbs that need to be sorted out in the front hall, so I won't disturb you all." Xu Xian was stunned for a moment, then heard Xiaoqing's implication, smiled awkwardly, tactfully exchanged a few polite words with Ao Ningshuang and Ao Qingmei, and left.
With Xu Xian present, it was inconvenient to talk. After Xu Xian was sent away, Xiaoqing's frown finally relaxed.
"Haha, big sister, I told you that the third sister wouldn't like someone with a nerdy personality like Xu Xian. See, I guessed right." Ao Qingmei raised her eyebrows, glanced at Ao Ningshuang, and said proudly.
"That Xu Xianren just now seemed pretty good, but Third Sister doesn't seem to have a good impression of him?" Ao Ningshuang stared at Xiaoqing with a thoughtful look on her face.
"Xu Xian is just an ordinary mortal. There is nothing to talk about. Let's not talk about him." Xiao Qing frowned irritably, changed the subject, and asked: "Big sister, second sister, how did you know I was in Suzhou City, and why did you suddenly come to see me?"
Ao Qingmei said: "We learned from Bai Fu and the others that you might have come to Suzhou City. That's why we rushed here, and then followed your scent to find this Baoan Hall."
"Have you met Bai Fu and the others? How did they know I was in Suzhou?" Xiaoqing hadn't seen Bai Fu and the others for quite a while. Bai Suzhen said that after she left the Bai Mansion, Bai Fu and the others also left one after another, but the five of them never came to look for her, and she didn't know what had happened to them.
Ao Qingmei glanced at Bai Suzhen and smiled meaningfully: "Bai Fu said that you recognized a girl named Bai as your sister. If we want to find you, we just need to find Bai. And Xu Xian, Bai's savior, was exiled to Suzhou. We naturally have to come to Suzhou to find you. As for why we are looking for you, it's because you have been away from home for many days. Father and mother miss you, so my elder sister and I came here to find you and take you back to Dragon Palace."
"Go back to Dragon Palace?" Xiaoqing's expression changed slightly.
Bai Suzhen, who was standing by, turned pale when she heard that Ao Ningshuang and Ao Qingmei came here to take Xiaoqing back to the Dragon Palace.
