After Marrying the Officer

"With someone like her around Ou Jiao, won't she lead Ou Jiao astray?" Jiang Shuqin shook her head disapprovingly and said, "That blockhead Ou Cong even trusts her a lot!"

"No, I must have a serious talk with Ou Cong about this."

"Chuyi, you take the braised pork rice back to Zheng Yan and the others, I'll make a trip to the Ou Family first!" Saying this with an air of decisive action, she turned around and prepared to leave.

Xia Chuyi was slightly stunned, hurriedly grabbed Jiang Shuqin, and said, "Shuqin, wait a moment!"

After grabbing her, Xia Chuyi hurriedly said to her, "What's the use of telling Ou Cong about this kind of thing?"

She paused, shook her head, and continued, "The things Xia Lan did in the past don't mean she will do them in the future."

"If she's Ou Jiao's friend and her actions don't harm Ou Jiao, even if she has had a dark past, so what?"

Xia Chuyi seriously analyzed the situation for Jiang Shuqin.

"Besides, in what capacity are you going to talk about her?" Xia Chuyi said, "Shuqin, don't be so impulsive."

Hearing Xia Chuyi's words, Jiang Shuqin furrowed her brows tightly, as if she had thought of something, and bit her lip, "But Xia Lan... the things she's done... she might do them again..."

Jiang Shuqin said this, and Xia Chuyi immediately smiled wryly, understanding what Jiang Shuqin meant.

She couldn't help but shake her head again and said to Jiang Shuqin, "Shuqin, who exactly are you worried about? Are you worried about Xia Lan, worried about Ou Jiao, or worried about Ou Cong?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Shuqin quickly retorted, "Pfft, who am I worried about?"

"Which 'he'?" Xia Chuyi asked calmly.

Jiang Shuqin said, "There is no 'he'!"

Xia Chuyi replied, "If that's the case, why are you so anxious? Ultimately, this matter really doesn't concern us that much."

"Cough cough." Jiang Shuqin embarrassedly stroked her hair and said, "I just think, perhaps Ou Jiao is so sensitive because of Xia Lan's instigation."

Seeing her like this, Xia Chuyi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Shuqin, don't overthink it. This is the Capital City. What Xia Lan dared to do back in Ling County, she might not dare to do here."

After all, every one of the people in Ou Cong's circle is shrewd—of course, except for Ou Cong, the simpleton who has only eyes for his sister.

If Ou Jiao tells him that Xia Lan is a good person, Ou Cong would likely believe it 99% of the time.

Looking down and pondering for a moment, Xia Chuyi then said, "If there's a chance, it might be worth casually reminding Brother Ou."

"If Xia Lan doesn't cause any trouble, then all is well. But if she really has some scheming... Brother Ou being aware might prevent her plans from succeeding."

Hearing this, Jiang Shuqin nodded and said, "You make sense."

Jiang Shuqin finally took her words to heart, and Xia Chuyi smiled and said, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. I've packed the braised pork rice for you; take it back to them."

"As for Xia Lan, if you have the opportunity to meet Brother Ou, just give a slight hint, don't be too obvious."

"Moreover, if you really detect that she has any designs on 'someone', you could hint to 'that person' that Xia Lan has been married and divorced."

"What? Divorced?" Jiang Shuqin was shocked again.

Xia Chuyi nodded and said, "Yes, she and my ex-fiancé were officially married with a ceremony, but later, they separated."
