Xin Nianyan and Chen Jinge exchanged glances with smiles in their eyes.

Looks like there's drama.

"He just withdrew from the marriage engagement at Pingnan Prince's Palace a while ago. Now he is not married. If my sister is interested, she must hurry up."

Chen Jinge smiled and spoke.

"I..." She actually didn't think too much about her marriage, but if she wanted to marry into the Wuhou Mansion and marry the young Marquis...

She felt a little happy in her heart.

"But how do I know what he thinks?"

Chen Jinyan bit her lower lip, feeling a little distressed.

With such a girl's pregnant attitude, what else do the two of them not understand?

"At the spring banquet after spring, my sister can take the opportunity to ask him what he thinks. If he is interested, she can ask him to come to the Duke's Mansion to propose marriage."

Chen Jinge made suggestions.

Chen Jinyan thought for a moment and nodded.

"Okay." She is going to get married after all, and if she can, she will naturally want to marry the person she wants to marry.

After making the plan, the few of them were in a particularly happy mood and were not disturbed at all by the previous episode.

During the meal, Chen Jinyu saw a candied haws seller from the window and pestered Chen Jinge to take her down to buy it.

Chen Jinyan lay down and looked down from the window. She smiled and said hello to the two sisters who were buying candied haws under the table.

Xin Nianyan saw that her attention was not here, so she got up and left the table and walked towards the small candle at the door.

"Call Shan Jiu in. I have something to give him."

Xiao Zhu took the order and went out, and soon Shan Jiu came.

"Shan Jiu, how did Shopkeeper Li deal with the one who made trouble just now?"

Xin Nianyan asked.

"Beat him and drive him out." Shan Jiu replied.

"Follow him and find out who ordered him, and find out if he has any involvement with Zhou Tong from the gambling house."

Xin Nianyan actually already knew who found this person. He was asked to check this time just to confirm.

"Okay." Shan Jiu accepted the order and turned around to leave.

"Wait." Xin Nianyan stopped him.

"He just wanted to hurt my cousin with a knife in his hand, so you cut off his hand."

When Xin Nianyan said this, his expression was very cold, and his gentle voice revealed a murderous intent.

"Yes." Shan Jiu nodded, turned around and walked out the door.

Just outside the door, I bumped into Chen Jinge who was returning with Chen Jinyu.

Chen Jinge nodded to him with a smile and pulled Chen Jinyu into the house.

"Cousin, are you back?" Xin Nianyan greeted her with a smile.

Chen Jinyu handed over a bunch of candied haws, "Cousin, it's yours!"

She bought five bunches of candied haws, and in order to thank Xiao Zhu for the story she told today, she even included Xiao Zhu’s share.

Chen Jinge took a deep look at Xin Nianyan and sat back to eat.

She naturally heard it just now. Her cousin was not as weak and kind as she seemed, but she only felt relieved.

Kindness alone is not enough to protect yourself.

It made her happy that her cousin cared so much about her sister.

It's just that... I think of the innocent and weak cousin from before, and I can't help but feel sorry for her.

I don't know what she went through to become what she is now.

Naturally, she would not know what kind of hardships the kind-hearted and weak Xin Nianyan had to go through to become what she is today, nor would she know that Xin Nianyan wanted more than just self-preservation.

She only knows that she must care and love her cousin even more in the future to make up for the harm she suffered in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

…

After dinner, the group returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

When going back, the old lady sent someone to call Xin Nianyan over, named him and took out a few ginseng plants from the warehouse, and asked Xin Nianyan to take them to the Duke's Mansion to pay New Year's greetings.

Xin Nianyan also had this intention, and took the things given by the old lady and followed Chen Jinyan's carriage to the Duke's Mansion.

When the old lady of the Duke's Mansion saw her, she was naturally overjoyed. She took her hand and said, "Yan'er, grandma hasn't seen you for a long time. She misses you very much."

"Grandma, Yan'er misses you too. Didn't he just come over to see you after finishing his work?"

Xin Nianyan answered with a smile.

"Grandma, Yan'er just came here during the Chinese New Year. It's only been a few days. I look at you. I'll miss her if I don't see you for a day!"

Chen Jinyan laughed and tried to dismantle her.

"You girl, you don't give your grandmother any face!"

The old lady laughed and scolded her, and everyone laughed.

She really missed Xin Nianyan, and she was overjoyed to know that this child had gone to collect the shop that was part of her daughter's dowry. She also missed her daughter a little.

He held Xin Nianyan's hand and talked for a while before letting her go outside to play with the juniors.

After Xin Nianyan stayed at the Duke's Mansion for dinner, he drove away slowly under the watch of the old lady and several young ladies.

It was already dark when I returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I heard from the maid in the courtyard that the Prime Minister had official business tonight and did not come back for dinner.

The smile on her lips was slightly raised. It had to be said that Gu Shuang had some tricks up his sleeve.

The one from Huilan Hospital is now sickly, pale, and getting older. How can he compete with the young and beautiful Gu Shuang?

Her eyes narrowed slightly, their eyes full of cold light.

Just wait, the good days for you mother and daughter are still to come!

"Chuntao, is Shan Jiu back?"

She asked as she took off her cloak and handed it to Xiao Zhu.

"I'm back, waiting outside." The spring grass on the side responded quickly.

"Tell him to come in."

After a while, Shan Jiu entered the room and bowed her hands.

"girl."

Xin Nianyan sat on the chair, holding the warm jade hand warmer given by Qin Han in her hand, and asked, "How did things go?"

"That man is a frequent visitor to West Street Gambling House, and he owes the gambling house a lot of money..."

Shan Jiu opened his mouth and told everything about today's events.

At first, the gangster was unwilling to tell the truth. He only said that he wanted to come to Yueyang Tower to make a bargain and extort some money.

Later, she was severely beaten by Shan Jiu before she told the truth.

Zhou Tong found him and said that as long as he went to trouble Yueyang Tower, the three hundred taels of silver he owed to the gambling house would be repaid for him.

He also told him not to surrender him, otherwise he would not be able to get a penny, and he would also have to let the people in the gambling shop cut off his finger.

After everything that needed to be said was said, Shan Jiu let go of the gangster, who thought he was finally safe and had escaped.

However, Shan Jiu cut off the entire hand from the arm with a sword, causing him to roll on the spot in pain.

Shan Jiu sheathed her sword, turned around and walked away neatly. He had never promised that as long as this man told the truth, he would not hurt him.

Because it was in compliance with Xin Nianyan's request, Shan Jiu reported this to her truthfully. Xin Nianyan, a girl who had not yet grown hair, listened to it without any fear.

He just nodded and said something funny.

"In this way, he no longer has to worry about Zhou Tong causing trouble for him and cutting off one of his fingers."

If the hand is gone, what fingers should be broken?

"Thank you for your hard work. Come on down."

Xin Nianyan sent Shan Jiu back, cleared out everyone in the room, and then opened the window.

"Your Majesty."

She had long felt the breath from the roof.

Dressed in white, a handsome and light figure fell in front of the window.

"Good evening, Yanyan."

Qin Han stood by the window and looked at her with a smile.
