The prince disliked her, and the legitimate daughter was reborn and married to the regent

What a coincidence? She was just about to go out when Xiyu brought it up?

Yun Nian made a questioning and delighted sound at the right time.

"Hmm? Okay!"

She turned around in a circle, her skirt fluttering.

"Then I'll go change my clothes."

In fact, there was nothing to change. She and Xiyu came in a hurry and did not bring their jewelry or clothes. He did not seem to notice it, so the mute slave brought some to her.

Yun Nian changed into a peach pink dress, which made her look cute and well-behaved. Most importantly, under the sunlight at dusk, she looked a bit like a girl.

She didn't want that soul to come out and disguise itself for the time being.

The mute slave was naturally waiting outside with Xiyu. The tall man looked at the slave beside him with some doubts.

"She doesn't like you serving her closely?"

But Feiyu Tower didn't have many maids, most of them were cleaning boys, after all, this was a killer organization.

"Forget it, just go buy one from the human traffickers. As for the mute slave, give it back to you..."

"Xiyu!"

Yun Nian pushed open the door, pouting her lips slightly, pretending to be angry.

"Except for Qiulan and the others, I don't like anyone else getting close to me. It's the same even if you buy a maid. At least a mute slave doesn't make any noise. Why should you ask her to go back?"

Xiyu rarely saw her wearing such a bright dress, ever since her master began to distance himself from her, so he actually didn't hear what she said at all, but just stared at her without blinking.

"Do you understand?"

She asked again, but the young man in front of her suddenly picked her up, and without going out the main door, he jumped directly onto the roof, stepped on the bamboo forest and landed on a bluestone alley.

"Oh! You scared me to death."

Yun Nian spoke half-truthfully, his violent heartbeat and the disgust in his body almost completely overlapped and intertwined, and he could only bury his face in his chest to hide his distorted expression.

Xiyu thought that she was trembling with fear because of her inattention, so she half-knelt on the ground and looked up at the girl.

"Master, it's my fault. I frightened you."

Her back was almost against the wall, her fingers grasping a little bit of the sleeve fabric, hugging her arms, closing her eyes, and turning her head to the side.

"You scared me."

"I'm sorry, Master. It's my fault."

Okay, that's enough. I have to say something. A loved one who has been bewitched would not react like this. Her cute scolding should have a loving limit.

Yun Nian opened his eyes, and slowly but firmly placed his hand on Xiyu's face. The long scar curled up in the lines of his palm.

"It's okay, I forgive you, as long as you are responsible for carrying my things later."

After saying this, she turned her head away as if she was shy about her own initiative, and said in a coquettish tone,

"You said you would take me out to play, why don't you hurry up?"

Xiyu smiled again, took a step forward and pointed at the corner.

"Don't worry, Master. It's going to be a busy day today."

He was not lying. Yun Nian walked a little closer and heard enthusiastic shouts and noisy voices. The stone wall revealed a little red shadow. Turning the corner, there was a sea of ​​​​festivity.

The red lanterns and the crowded crowd spread out like a scroll, and everyone had a festive smile on their face.

She seemed to have noticed something and turned her head to look at the secret guard beside her.

"Today is..."

"Today is New Year's Eve."

Today is New Year's Eve, the year has come to an end, and tomorrow is a new year.

Yun Nian suddenly felt an indescribable loneliness. On this day of reunion, she was still alone.

Xiyu, who was standing by, had not yet noticed her master's depressed mood, and gently pulled her sleeves.

"It seems like someone is setting off fireworks up ahead, why don't we go take a look?"

She was carried forward by the irresistible force, and everyone she saw showed a happy smile to the people around her, with curved eyebrows and a smile on her lips.

Yun Nian also curled the corners of his mouth, but with self-mockery.

The New Year customs in Nanyan did not seem to be much different from those in Luochuan. People still bought New Year's goods and traveled with their families. Even the fireworks that Xiyu took her to see were similar to those she had seen in Luochuan City.

The Prime Minister's Mansion has always attached great importance to New Year's Eve. Dad and brother would take a day off, and mother had already started arranging the family dinner on New Year's Eve several months ago.

She would receive many gifts, as well as "lucky money" from her parents and brother, which used to be a string of copper coins, but later turned into silver bills under her protest.

As long as she spoke a little sweetly, her family would be so coaxed into giving away almost all their belongings.

Her mother laughed and scolded her for being greedy, but she just frowned and sneaked out with her two good friends a little later to watch other people's fireworks.

But now, everything has disappeared.

Xiyu's words brought Yun Nian back to her senses. She realized that she had already finished watching the fireworks and stepped into a jewelry store. He held up a white jade hairpin and waved it at her.

"Master, how about this one? It suits you very well."

The shopkeeper at the side came forward with a smile on his face, showing his yellow teeth.

"Sir, you have a good eye. This is the most valuable hairpin in my shop. It was almost sent to Luochuan City to be offered as a sacrifice. If it weren't for the pity of missing the time, it wouldn't be left here."

In fact, it was just a hairpin made of aventurine. Although it was indeed valuable, it was not necessary to have it. She was about to refuse, but Xiyu had already spoken.

"Okay, wrap this up for me, and show me the pearl necklace."

He was referring to the pearl bracelet placed in the center. Unlike the white jade hairpin, the pearls here were not ordinary. They were translucent pink, round and soft, and equally expensive.

Yun Nian held his hand.

"No, there's no need to spend money on this kind of thing."

"But you seem to like it very much, and I want to give it to you."

Xiyu's eyes dimmed for a moment, but Yun Nian withdrew her hand as if she had touched a thorn. She still remembered that she had given the jewelry to Xiyu as a gift because she was worried that he would think she was extravagant, but why was he squandering it now?

Never mind, he can do whatever he wants, it has nothing to do with her, she took her hand back, showing an appropriately happy and shy expression,

"I like everything you buy."

Perhaps it was this sentence that made Xiyu feel elated. He immediately said to the shopkeeper,

"If you have any good stuff, take it out. If the master likes it, I will take it all."

When the shopkeeper heard the noble young man in front of him call the woman beside him "Master", a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He looked up somewhat embarrassedly, and then said to him,

"I do have it, but my clerk is on break today and I can't get it out by myself. Please come with me, sir."

He took Xiyu away, leaving Yun Nian alone looking at the pink bracelet.

"Like it? I can give you something better."

A smiling voice sounded in my ears, and the person with the curtain lifted the veil in front of him.
