Ran didn't argue, but just lowered her eyes and silently ate the spiritual fruit in her hand.

"I can understand Chuan'er not wanting to let me go."

Xu Hanyi looked at Ran, his tone filled with impatience, "But why do you have to stay by my side like this?"

She paused and continued, "If you're willing to let me go, wouldn't that mean you have one less person to compete with?"

"My husband will be sad. I don't want him to be sad."

Ran raised her head and looked at Xu Hanyi, her tone gentle, but with a hint of unshakable persistence.

"..."

Xu Hanyi stopped talking, closed his eyes again, and continued to try to break the restrictions on his body.

But after a while, she frowned, opened her eyes suddenly, and looked straight at the palace door.

"Sister Qingshu."

Ran raised her eyes and looked towards the door, her voice sounding natural and familiar.

"Sister, you haven't come to help me these days, and I'm so busy."

Qingshu walked into the hall with a hint of anger in her tone, and her eyes flickered between Ran and Xu Hanyi.

"I'll come and help my sister when my husband comes back." Ran responded softly.

"Just kidding. Compared to a while ago, I'm not so busy now. Otherwise, how would I have the time to visit my two sisters?"

Qingshu raised the corner of her mouth slightly and raised her eyebrows at Xu Hanyi who was looking at her coldly.

"you……"

Xu Hanyi was about to retort, but Ran took over the conversation first.

"Sister Xu has been feeling unwell recently and needs to rest. If Sister Qingshu has nothing to do, why don't you go back?"

Ran walked in front of Qingshu and subtly blocked her sight of Xu Hanyi.

"She's not feeling well and needs to rest? Who else in this world could hurt her? Could it be that she's pregnant with Qin Lang's child? If that's the case, then I should call her sister."

Qingshu withdrew her gaze and walked straight to the table and sat down.

"First come first served. My husband and Sister Xu know each other the earliest, so there's nothing wrong with calling her sister." Ran also sat directly in front of Qingshu.

"Then I'm sure you haven't heard about things that happened a long time ago, right? How about I tell you about it?"

Qingshu narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, and her tone was meaningful.

"Sister Xu is already tired today. If Sister Qingshu keeps chatting here, it will disturb her rest." Ran shook her head gently.

"..."

Qingshu stared at Ran with a gloomy look in her eyes, and didn't speak for a while.

Xu Hanyi looked at Ran's back, the coldness in his eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by a complicated and indecipherable look.

She originally thought that there would be a heated argument, but she didn't expect that Ran would keep speaking for her, even at the expense of Qingshu's face.

"Qin Lang is really partial."

After a moment, Qingshu smiled gently, and her tone did not reveal whether she was happy or angry.

Ran didn't say anything, just looked at Qingshu quietly.

"If I say that I came here to drive Xu Hanyi out, will you fight me?"

Qing Shu tapped the table with her fingertips and spoke nonchalantly.

"My husband would never want Sister Qingshu to do this." Ran said in a firm tone, not giving in at all.

"It doesn't matter. I will go to Qin Lang to admit my mistake when the time comes. As for my sister, let's first..." Qing Shu suddenly stopped her fingertips.

Ran felt a cold breath enveloping her instantly, and then her soul seemed to be tightly bound by invisible chains. Her whole body was stiff and she couldn't even move a finger.

"These spiritual fruits have a calming effect. Sister, go to sleep first..."

Before Qingshu could finish her words, she suddenly felt something tightly wrapped around her ankle. She looked down and saw that two dark green vines had emerged from the ground without her knowledge.

"I've already said that when Qin Lang comes back, I will admit my mistake. Why are you so stubborn, sister?" Qing Shu sighed lightly and said helplessly.

However, in response to her, several vines suddenly shot up into the sky behind her, intertwining and entwining to form an airtight cage, trapping her tightly inside.

"You can't trap her for long. Is there any way to move her? If you can, help me remove the restriction first, and I'll deal with her."

There was a hint of urgency in Xu Hanyi's voice, and his eyes were fixed on the vine cage.

She didn't believe that Qingshu came here just to drive her out.

Ran did not respond, but just bit her lip tightly, her heart full of regret for her own carelessness.

She originally thought that Qingshu simply hated Xu Hanyi, and Lin Chuan's instructions were just to protect Xu Hanyi from being bullied.

But judging from the current situation, there is probably more than just this little rift between them.

Now, she was suppressed and unable to move, and Qing Shu was about to break free. She could only hope in her heart that Qing Shu's words of "driving Xu Hanyi out" meant just driving her away, and not...

"Zheng."

A melodious yet sharp piano sound came from the vine cage. In just a moment, those tough vines were cut by a sharp blade and fell to the ground.

"Go get some sleep, Qin Lang won't blame you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qingshu slowly walked towards Xu Hanyi who was lying on the bed.

The beam of light from the formation outside suddenly shot up into the sky, and a tremendous pressure swept over with it.

Ran was already under the influence of the spiritual fruit's calming power. At this moment, she felt her eyelids were as heavy as a thousand pounds, and her consciousness gradually became blurred. Finally, she could not resist the tiredness and slowly closed her eyes.
