Chapter 191
In the main courtyard, everyone continued to wait.

Although the eldest lady Liu didn't say much, her aggrieved look seemed to be because Dongfang Yuebai was disgusted with her, so she touched Dongfang Yijin.

Although the others didn't say anything, Duke Feng'en saw it and was angry. However, because the old lady was still sitting in the room, Duke Feng'en could only keep his face stiff and not speak.

Dongfang Yijin sat obediently next to her mother, obviously looking extremely worried, but her heart was cold. She had not spoken to Dongfang Yuebai since she was a child, so naturally she would not take the initiative to cause trouble now.

Anyway, it doesn't matter if she lies and claims that Dongfang Yuebai promised her. Dongfang Yuebai has kept everyone waiting for so long. Even if he later reveals that he doesn't know, no one will believe what he says.
As for those slaves in Jiaziyuan, who would dare to give false testimony to Dongfang Yuebai?
"Bang bang bang... bang bang..."

Dongfang Yijin was just thinking when he suddenly heard muffled sounds coming from the yard.

Everyone looked out the window and saw groups of colorful things reflecting on the window lattice, making the entire main courtyard colorful.

Mother Zhang quickly went out to take a look, and then came back with a happy face and said, "Old madam, someone is setting off fireworks in our yard!"

Setting off fireworks on New Year's Eve is a joyful thing.

Mother Zhang walked back to the old lady, supported the old lady who was about to get up, and said, "Old slave, I took a quick look and it seems that he is from Jiaziyuan."

"Go out and take a look." The old lady hurriedly walked out.

The others followed and walked to the main courtyard, where they were enveloped by fireworks all over the sky.

During the New Year celebrations in the Duke's Mansion, the amount of money set aside for the New Year is always limited. Of course, it is impossible for the eldest lady Liu to spend such money and such thoughts.

Now that Leng Yi saw the huge clumps of fireworks, they seemed to be blooming in front of his eyes, which made everyone in the Duke's Mansion unable to recover.

After a while, as the last firework bloomed in the sky, the Duke's Mansion finally returned to peace.

Su Chengying took Jinhan and Tianyi a few steps forward and said to the old lady with a smile, "Does the old lady like it?"

The old lady nodded and said, "If you like it, of course you will, but... it will cost a lot of money, right?"

Su Chengying signaled Jin Han and Tianyi to go back first, then took the initiative to support the old lady and said with a smile, "If you can make the old lady smile, no matter how much money you spend, it is worth it."

Madam Liu sneered in her heart, and was secretly mocking Su Chengying for having such a eloquent mouth, when she saw Duke Feng En looking towards her.

The eldest lady Liu was stunned and heard Duke Feng En say, "I have never seen my mother so happy in all these years. Since my mother likes it, you will send someone to buy some fireworks every New Year from now on."

The eldest lady's flesh ached so much that she couldn't refute in front of everyone, so she had no choice but to agree, "Don't worry, Mr. Guo, I will keep it in mind."

The old lady didn't have time to look at her son's hindsight, so she took Su Chengying's hand and asked, "Did you prepare all of this?"

Su Chengying quickly smiled and shook her head, "The old lady values ​​me so much, I don't know how to answer."

"If there's anything you don't want to answer, just say whatever you want." The old lady was in a good mood now.

"During this period of time, I have been busy with the business of the shop, and I really have nothing to do. It was the young man who was thinking about the old lady and specially ordered someone to go out to buy fireworks overnight."

The old lady's face was filled with joy, "So it's Yue Bai, where are the others?" Su Chengying explained, "My young master has never been very restrained, but since Sister Yijin came to invite me, he couldn't refuse. So I came up with this way to make everyone laugh, I think the young master must have gone back to the courtyard to rest by now."

She said, then looked at Dongfang Yijin aside, "Speaking of which, this matter is also due to sister Yijin. If sister Yijin hadn't come to invite the young master in person, he would have refused sister Yijin's kindness. I can’t think of this way to make the old lady and everyone happy.”

"Sister-in-law, you are serious. If I had known that brother Yuebai didn't like such an occasion, I would never have gone there shamelessly to invite someone." Dongfang Yijin had a calm expression on her face, but in fact, her whole body was tense.

She naturally didn't expect that Su Chengying would ruin all her plans just by talking or laughing.

No wonder her mother said that Su Chengying was difficult and she underestimated her enemy.

After watching the fireworks, the old lady felt cold now. She waved her hands to everyone and said, "Yuebai has made me lazy. If you don't want to come, don't come. Let's eat what we have."

The old lady had already spoken, so naturally no one dared to mention Dongfang Yuebai's failure to show up.

An hour later, everyone finished the reunion dinner and stood up to leave from the main courtyard.

As soon as Su Chengying returned to Jiaziyuan, she saw Dongfang Yuebai leaning against the door frame and looking at her with a smile, holding two bottles of wine in his hand.

Their eyes met, Dongfang Yuebai threw one of the wine bottles to Su Chengying.

Su Chengying took it and took it warm. It had obviously been boiled with hot water in advance. "I don't go to the main courtyard to eat, but I hide here to drink. If others see it, I don't know what will happen."

Dongfang Yuebai smiled and said, "With Madam blocking me, even if anyone wants to say something, I'm afraid they won't be able to say it."

Even though she didn't plan to tell him, he still knew.

Su Chengying didn't mean to take credit. She was about to enter the door while carrying the wine bottle, but Dongfang Yuebai held her arm.

Su Chengying was stunned, "Didn't you go inside to drink?"

"I'm afraid you'll get drunk too quickly when you go in to drink, so it's safer to find a cool place." Dongfang Yuebai said, and put the hand that was originally on her arm around her slender waist, and then frowned and complained. One sentence, "I'm too thin, so I need to put on some weight to feel better."

Su Chengying, "..."

Please shut up.

Dongfang Yubai smiled, hugged Su Chengying and tiptoed the ground, settling on the roof in an instant.

Su Chengying looked at the handsome man in front of her in shock. She frowned and was about to speak, but was pulled by him to sit side by side on the roof.

"Su Chengying, you don't have to be a regular person all your life. It's not bad to jump out of the thunder pool occasionally. Being so leisurely and informal can be regarded as a worthwhile journey in this troubled world." Dongfang Yuebai said, raising his head and taking a sip of wine. He casually bent one leg, and his hanging arms naturally rested on his knees, sitting happily.

Su Chengying looked at the man next to her who seemed to be one with the starry sky, shining brightly under the bright moon. She imitated her and took a sip of wine, then turned to look into the distance. Her heart, which had been depressed for a long time, finally felt relieved.
