Although I could guess that Lou Qixue's family was rich, I really didn't expect it to be this rich.

Holding the heavy red gift box, Yan Conling had been staring at the two luminous pearls, which were as big as a child's head and could detect people's light, for half an hour.

Her expression gradually distorted.

The gap between people is sometimes wider than that of dogs.

As if he could see through her inner thoughts, Lou Qixue chuckled, "If you like it, I have another one raised from the dragon's belly. It's brighter and more beautiful than this one."

Yan Conling only focused on the last sentence, "Then when you get back, you can tie it up in front of the lampstand."

She likes light.

Especially this expensive and bright one.

The splendor of getting married in an aristocratic family was naturally not comparable to the way she had fooled her back then. Just the preparations took me several months to prepare, and the pictures are exquisite.

Zhou Ningyu was dressed in a bright red wedding dress, with a phoenix crown and tassels on her head that were dazzling. After not seeing her for a while, she had lost a lot of weight, and now the black spots were obvious, and she looked haggard that even applying powder could not cover it up.

Seeing Yan Congling come in, he managed a smile and said, "Miss Yan, sit down quickly."

On the happy day, Yan Conling knew that she was thinking of Zhou Ningzhu again... After she left due to dystocia, only Zhou Ning could see the sadness on her face in the entire Zhou family. It's a pity that she waited outside the prince's residence until dawn that day, but she didn't get to see him for the last time.

The two sat and talked for a while. Yan Conling was a good listener, and the other party's mood softened visibly.

Until there was a sound at the door, both of them looked away. The first thing I saw was a fair and slender hand holding a greased paper bag poking inside, followed by the boy's bookish face.

"You haven't eaten anything yet. Let's use some pastries to cushion the meal."

Yan Congling stood far away from Xuan Chuang, but as a well-trained lady, Zhou Ningyu still blushed, "Didn't I say that the bride can't eat now..."

"Rules are dead, people are alive." Huo Changan stuffed things inside again, and the newlywed Yaner made him look different.

"And when you wrote me a page of poetry the day before, you didn't think about the rules."

Zhou Ningyu:......

In the end, people were kicked out.

Yan Conling was also implicated. When they were driven out, they almost bumped into Mrs. Huo outside.

She was crouching, clearly eavesdropping. Naturally, I also heard the whole process of Zhou Ningyu breaking her guard and chasing people away, but she no longer held the old-fashioned attitude of the past, and her expression was actually happy.

My grandson has been kept in the backyard for too long, and he is not a talkative person.

I was originally worried that I would not be used to going out after I got better, but now I seem to be much more lively. Therefore, she could not be more satisfied with this grandson-in-law, and she could not be more grateful to Yan Conling.

"grandmother……"

Huo Changan was somewhat embarrassed when he was bumped into by his grandmother.

Mrs. Huo, however, pushed him aside and said, "Okay, go and make a toast. She will still be there when I see your wife in the future. This place is left to me and Miss Yan. Our family must thank her properly."

After sending her grandson away, Mrs. Huo leaned on crutches and bent down to salute her.

Yan Conling hurriedly supported her, "What are you doing, old lady? I am here as a guest today, and I cannot distinguish between host and guest."

With a little force, the opponent pulled it out like a carrot. Mrs. Huo couldn't bear her strength, so she sighed softly, "Our Huo family owes the girl a favor. If the girl needs anything in the future, we will do our best to help."

What she worried about the most was her little grandson.

Unexpectedly, in the end, it was the girl who looked like this age in front of me who helped arrange it clearly. From getting sick to going somewhere, even my daughter-in-law can find a good one. It is estimated that even if Huo Changan's parents were alive, they would not be able to handle this quickly and well in such a short period of time.

Yan Conling didn't refuse anymore, stuffed a token under her sleeve, and said warmly, "I do have something I want to ask the old lady for help."

It's not uncommon to have ups and downs when you're young. Mrs. Huo is just old, but her sensitivity is still there. When her fingertips found the seven characters on it, she almost failed to maintain the expression on her face.

Yan Conngling has a close relationship with the Seventh Prince.

This is not a secret in the Imperial Capital, but now that she can deliver such a token, the meaning is self-evident. The Huo family is a clean house. They have only stood neutral for so many years, so they can protect themselves wisely for a long time.

Now that the crown prince has been established, the loudest voices are from the Sixth Prince and the Third Prince. There is no such thing as a sick child from the Seventh Prince... But that's what makes it even more dangerous and scary.

Facing the girl's dark eyes, Mrs. Huo had kept her promise for most of her life. For the first time, she felt regret in her heart. She always felt like she was being dragged into a pirate ship.

Seeing her uneasiness, Yan Conling threw out a reassurance, "The Huo family does not need to come forward directly." What is needed is support behind the scenes, so that if things fail, they can be clean and avoid being implicated.

It is true that Huo Mansion owed her a favor.

But this kind of kindness is not enough to make people tie their heads to their belts.

With her words, Mrs. Huo completely put her heart into her stomach and accepted the jade pendant.

There were many familiar faces at the banquet.

When Yan Conling returned and sat down, the small plate in front of him was already filled with peeled snow-white crab meat. She took the clean chopsticks handed over by the young man next to her, picked up a chopstick, and felt the vague glances from all around before she realized what she was doing.

I let nature take its course too much.

It was almost subconscious, and I didn’t feel anything was wrong. Habit is a terrible thing, living with Lou Qixue for so long. Without realizing it, something had already seeped in quietly...

She ate this meal slightly absent-mindedly.

Fortunately, the Huo family treated her as a special guest and set up a separate table for them. But people still came over to say hello to her along the way.

Then there is a glass of wine and a sip.

Yan Conling didn't have a good drinking capacity. After taking several sips, his head felt a little swollen. She didn't need to look in the mirror to guess that her face must be blushing right now.

Originally, Lou Qixue wanted to help her stop drinking, but she was rejected.

If he drinks too much and shows his fox ears or tail at this banquet, he will be in big trouble.

Lou Qixue looked at her and hesitated to speak.

After a few more cups, Yan Conling felt the ground turning.

Now, she finally understood why those ministers didn't like to attend palace banquets.

"Shall I carry you back?"

Drowsily, someone whispered in my ear and asked. He was very close and his breath was warm.

Yan Conngling nodded subconsciously, and immediately felt herself being carried on someone's back, landing on a warm and broad back. She pulled the clothes around the man's shoulders and yelled something random.

"mother……"

The other party's body stiffened, and his chest heaved violently.

It looked like he was angry.
