Just thinking of that jade hairpin, a flash of coldness flickered in Ning Yan'er's eyes.
The position of the Princess of Guo'an must be hers! Whoever dares to snatch it, don't blame her for being ruthless.
The Marquis of Huaiyuan looked at Ning Yan'er's gentle smile and became even more determined. Mo Liandi, one day you will be willing!
After personally sending Ning Yan'er back to the courtyard, the Marquis of Huaiyuan then turned around and left.
A Bi quickly poured a cup of green tea for Ning Yan'er. "My lady, don't think too much. The position of the Princess of Huai'an must be yours. In the whole Liang Dynasty, there is no one else but you who is worthy of the Prince of Guo'an. The Prince of Guo'an will surely change his mind!"
Ning Yan'er raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, but the coldness deep in her eyes remained undiminished. "Of course I know."
In order to be worthy of him, she had been learning all kinds of manners since childhood. Only she was the one who could stand by his side.
Seeing this, a hint of smile also appeared in A Bi's eyes. "It's good that my lady can think it through. Since the marquis has promised, my lady can just wait for the wedding with peace of mind."
The power of the Marquis of Huaiyuan's Mansion was extraordinary. If the marquis used all his strength, he was not afraid that the Prince of Guo'an would not agree.
Hearing this, the ice in the depths of Ning Yan'er's eyes finally dispersed, and a shy blush instantly appeared on her face. "Yes."
She was looking forward to the day when she would become his princess!
At that moment.
In the coroner's office.
Zhang Yan and Xiao Heyuan had already returned to the yamen. Seeing that it was still early, Liu Rumei stayed in the coroner's office to look after the shop.
Si Xi went to the Wanbaozhai to buy some pastries, and then paired them with some tea. She sat upstairs with the Yun brothers, leisurely watching the people passing by downstairs.
After being with Liu Rumei for a long time, Si Xi was no longer so afraid of the skeleton in the coroner's office.
Just then, Yun Xi suddenly saw a familiar figure. Seeing that the person was walking towards the coroner's office, he couldn't help but roll his eyes. He pulled Yun Li and went downstairs.
"Sister, since we have nothing to do anyway, can you take me and brother out for a stroll?"
Liu Rumei thought for a while and then readily nodded. She called out to Si Xi upstairs, "Si Xi, do you want to come with us?"
Si Xi looked at the pastries on the table that she hadn't finished eating yet, and there was a look of reluctance in her eyes. "I'll stay here to look after the shop."
Well, just in time for Yun Xi not to be here, she could eat more!
Thinking of this, a sly smile appeared in her dark eyes.
Yun Xi saw through Si Xi's thoughts at a glance, and a look of disdain flashed in his eyes. But thinking of that person, he quickly said, "Sister, I heard that the sugar figures in the west of the city taste good. If we go late, they'll be gone!"
Liu Rumei also remembered the sweet and sour sugar-coated haws, and nodded seriously. "Yes."
Just as the three of them left, Mo Liandi's figure appeared in the coroner's office.
Looking at the empty coroner's office, a look of confusion flashed in Mo Liandi's eyes. He listened intently to the movement in the attic, and then couldn't help but step upstairs. Seeing Si Xi sitting alone by the window, a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
"Si Xi."
Si Xi was holding the pastry in her hand and eating it in small bites. Her dark eyes were already curved into two crescent moons, looking very cute.
Suddenly hearing this deep but somewhat cold voice, her heart trembled violently. She looked back and saw that Mo Liandi had appeared behind her at some point.
Scared, Si Xi quickly got up and saluted respectfully. The pastry in her hand also slipped to the ground. "This servant pays respects to the prince."
"Where is Miss Liu?" His cold eyes silently swept over the situation in the attic, and his heart was filled with confusion for a moment. Si Xi was here, where did she go?
Si Xi quickly replied respectfully, "Miss Liu just took Yun Xi and Yun Li out."
Mo Liandi pursed his lips, and a look of displeasure flashed in his eyes. "Do you know where they went?"
"This servant heard Yun Xi say that they were going to the west of the city to buy sugar figures." It was really unfortunate that the prince came. If he had come a little earlier, he might have caught up.
Thinking of this, Si Xi's eyes couldn't help but fall on the half-bitten pastry on the ground, and she felt quite distressed. It was such a waste!
Mo Liandi nodded indifferently and immediately turned around and left.
Si Xi watched Mo Liandi's back as he left, and her heart instantly relaxed. She couldn't help but collapse on the chair.
Looking at the half piece of pastry on the ground, her eyes were full of entanglement. Finally, as if making up her mind, her dark eyes looked around. She quickly reached out to pick it up and stuffed it into her mouth.
Her dark eyes curved into crescent moons. It's okay to eat something that's not clean. You can't waste it!
Just as the pastry was about to enter her mouth, suddenly there was a sharp pain in her hand, as if something had hit it. She instantly let go, and the pastry that she had finally picked up fell to the ground again and rolled a few times very smoothly.
Si Xi looked at it with a heartache. "Now it's really not edible."
Looking down at the red mark on the back of her hand, Si Xi was extremely annoyed in her heart. What on earth was it that stopped her from eating?
Ye Zhe, who was hidden in the dark, saw Si Xi squatting on the ground looking at the pastry with a mournful face, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but curl up into a smile. He finally understood why she was so heavy!
If she ate like this, she would surely become a big fat person!
Then, his gaze fell on the pastries on the table. His heart skipped a beat, and he quietly stepped forward. Taking advantage of her inattention, he put all the pastries into his arms. Then he slowly flashed in the direction where Mo Liandi had left.
Poor Si Xi finally came back to her senses from the sadness of the half piece of pastry. Just as she was about to eat another piece to comfort her injured heart, she suddenly noticed that all the pastries on the table were gone!
Her heart trembled violently. Suddenly remembering something, she quickly knelt on the ground in fear, with her head down, looking on the verge of tears. "Ghost master, you can take all the pastries. Don't scare me! I'm scared..."
If she had known this, she shouldn't have stayed just because she was greedy...
...
Liu Rumei took the Yun brothers and quickly rushed to the west of the city. Each of them bought a bunch of sugar-coated haws, and then they were satisfied and went to buy the sugar figures that Yun Xi wanted.
Yun Xi was biting the sugar-coated haws in his mouth, and his beautiful eyes were full of slyness.
Yun Li frowned thoughtfully. Finally, he tugged on his sleeve and whispered in his ear, "What are you up to again?"
Yun Xi quietly glanced at Liu Rumei and whispered a few words in Yun Li's ear. Then he smiled and said, "Brother, don't you want to come out and play?"
That stingy man could only blame his bad luck. "Sister, don't buy the sugar figures. Let's go boating on the lake."
Liu Rumei couldn't help but frown, but thinking that it would be nice to take a walk by the lake on such a stuffy day, she immediately nodded without hesitation. "That's good."
Hearing this, Yun Xi immediately gave Yun Li a sly smile.
Seeing this, a look of helplessness flashed in Yun Li's eyes.
At this time, a fragrant breeze blew by beside them. The pungent smell made him sneeze twice violently.
