Yun Nian looked at the girl who suddenly appeared. She walked quickly across the bridge, and the sword at her waist left a cold shadow in the moonlight.

"Brother Yu, you are back, why didn't you tell me, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Xi Lingshuang put away all her arrogance and pampering, and learned to be as gentle as those ladies in the boudoir.

It was clearly the same words, both of which were "I've been waiting for you for a long time", but Xiyu looked at Xilingshuang with an impatient expression.

"Why should I tell you? I've already told you that I don't like you, why are you still pestering me?"

Xiyu was quite troubled, but because she was the daughter of the Second Elder, she had no way of throwing her out.

The purple-clothed girl's face suddenly fell, and she snorted unhappily, and then she saw the figure behind Xiyu.

"who is she?"

Yun Nian was startled by her loud voice and looked at Xi Lingshuang cautiously. It seemed that she was another person who was not as ruthless as she thought.

She didn't think the girl was spoiled. She herself had been spoiled since she was a child and had no rules. She thought everyone had to like her and she had to get what she liked.

However, she later realized that some people's love was just an illusion. No one would love her unconditionally and unconditionally. Love always came at a price.

"Hello, I am……"

Before she could finish her words, she was rudely interrupted by the girl in front of her.

"I know you, you vixen, you have been seducing my brother Yu and made him not even go home!"

She suddenly drew out her sword, and pointed the tip of the sword directly at Yun Nian's nose.

"You also restricted Brother Yu's identity. If it weren't for you, how could he still be a slave!"

Xi Lingshuang was very excited, but Xi Yu immediately took a step forward.

"You are crazy, Xi Lingshuang. I am not attacking you not because you are a woman, but only for the sake of the Second Elder. If you dare to attack the master, don't blame me for being rude!"

His expression was filled with disgust and impatience. For Xi Lingshuang, who liked him, this was simply the most unacceptable punishment.

The sword in her hand shook slightly, and her eyes pierced the woman behind him like a needle.

Yun Nian stood behind him, holding his waist with her hands, looking a little nervous.

And her brother Yu actually lowered his head to comfort that hypocritical woman!

Seeing Xiyu defending her like this, Xilingshuang was furious. Although she knew that Brother Yu had a so-called master, she didn't expect that he seemed to love her so much.

Mingming, Mingming, Daddy said that as long as Xiyu completed the last mission, he would definitely marry me.

Even though Xiyu has never said this, she believes that apart from herself, no one else is worthy of Brother Yu!

Yun Nian looked at the girl in front of him. She was still angry, but she slowly put down her sword.

"Brother Yu, our childhood friendship is actually not as good as a woman who treats you as a slave? If you think so, well, I will try to accept her. After all, I like you, and I will like the person you like."

Xi Lingshuang said this sadly, which surprised Xi Yu. The only daughter of the Second Elder always pestered him, making him upset.

He had originally thought about hiding his master well to prevent him from being mean to him, but he didn't expect Xi Lingshuang to say that they should get along well.

Although he was still alert, he had softened his tone.

"No, the master has me, and it's enough. Today is New Year's Eve, and the Second Elder should be looking for you."

Yun Nian was led to the room. She turned around and saw the purple-clothed woman looking down at her reflection in the water. She couldn't detect her expression.

But she clearly felt that this woman seemed to be somewhat similar to Yun Jiao, hiding her malice in false concessions.

She retracted her attention. As soon as she stepped into the room, Xiyu had already put the things she bought on the table. Then she disappeared after leaving a sentence of "I'll serve the food" excitedly.

The boxes on the table contained things bought from the store. Yun Nian opened them one by one and looked at the pearl bracelets, white jade hairpins, and agate forehead ornaments. It was obvious that her secret guards had put a lot of thought into their selection.

Unfortunately, if you don't like someone, no matter how beautiful or expensive the gift is, you will find it boring and annoying. She put all those things aside, and a box with obviously more exquisite materials appeared at the bottom.

There was a big "Gift" written on red paper with gold characters.

Her hand paused for a moment. Perhaps Xiyu was not very clear about the gifts, but as the daughter of the prime minister, Yun Nian had seen many rare things.

This small wooden box is made of a century-old tree from Nanyan, and has the scent of pine resin and amber.

Her heart began to beat rapidly, and as if she had sensed something, she unbuttoned the box with her porcelain-white fingertips. The box made a soft "click" sound, revealing a pair of dark green earrings padded with white fox fur.

The shape of the water drop was so perfect that Yun Nian had never seen such a beautiful ornament before. Even the ones she had received from her brother before were not as beautiful as it.

There was no other note indicating the identity of the giver, but Yun Nian knew that this was what Wei Qingjue gave her.

"I can give you something better."

She remembered the smiling voice of His Royal Highness the Regent,

"Sure enough, it is better to look at it. It is better to say that there is nothing more pleasing than it."

Yun Nian became happy to receive such a beautiful gift on such a special day as New Year's Eve.

She excitedly raised the earrings in front of the bronze mirror, shook her cheeks left and right, and then pressed them against hers.

"The Regent is indeed very gentle. Has he noticed my loneliness?"

Since he is so kind, she will work harder to find the antidote to repay him. Maybe Wei Qingjue will be happy and give her more gifts.

She wanted to collect them, so that they would truly belong to her, and she would not be afraid even if she went to the temple.

She hummed a little tune of Dong Ling and carefully put the earrings into the box. She looked around and felt that it was unsafe everywhere, so she put the gift on the pillow.

“It shouldn’t be visible this way.”

She patted the pillow which was a bit too hard. Xiyu came in from outside and saw the joy on her face which she hadn't had time to hide. The gift he had given her was still on the table, already opened.

He paused for a moment, his brows relaxed.

"You like it so much? Then let's go take a look next time we go to the shop."

Let him misunderstand like this. Yun Nian sat down and looked at the dishes, which were more abundant than before, thinking about which one to eat first. Suddenly, someone outside the door shouted,

"Young Master, the Great Elder invites you."

The woman guarding the underground gate whom Yun Nian had seen before bowed her head.
