She saw Yanyan, and Yanyan saw her too.

The two girls stared at each other in silence for a few seconds.

Yanyan looked away first, lowered her head and secretly twisted her handkerchief. Why should she, Guo Youyou, have everything she wants, and everything is the best?

She could never learn the various manners of a young lady from an aristocratic family, and she simply could not integrate into the social circles with these nobles. Her parents were just a small merchant family, so how could they teach her these things?

But so what? The Duke is still her lover, and Liu Ziyu's family background is at least much better than He Ke's.

So what if he is a top scholar? He still has to bow to the Duke and endure her anger.

Yuan Man looked at the girl's pretty face with interest, first feeling envy and then jealousy. He looked at He Ke who was riding a horse in the distance, then looked at Liu Ziyu beside him, and finally looked back at her with some pride.

She smiled and said, really... why bother? What's the point of comparing? Can't we all just be well?

The way she acted made her look forward to the time when they would get tired of each other.

The carriage set off back to Beijing.

The days passed slowly, and it was almost July. There was nothing much to do during the day.

However, her coming-of-age ceremony is in August, and Mrs. Guo is busy preparing for it.

He Keye's birthday was in June.

Because according to the rules, she should embroider her wedding dress herself, but how could Yuanman do that? Fortunately, the original owner didn't like these things and wasn't proficient in them.

Mrs. Guo found an embroiderer to teach her. She studied hard, but she really had no talent. However, she could barely embroider something.

Thinking that He Ke’s birthday was also coming up, she embroidered a little rabbit sachet for him.

He Ke was also very happy and said that the little white goose embroidered was very cute, just like Yuanman. Yuanman was so angry that he went home without eating.

Later, He Ke tried his best to persuade Mrs. Guo to let the embroiderer embroider a wedding dress for Yuan Man. Only in this way could Yuan Man be freed from her suffering, and she would not bother with him for being "blind".

However, occasionally when He Ke took Yuan Man out to play, they would meet Liu Ziyu and the others, and sometimes they would even sit down and chat with them in a friendly manner.

It’s just that Yanyan would feel that Yuanman was annoying when she occasionally talked to her, but Yuanman definitely didn’t have that thought.

Because her birthday was coming up soon, her mother made a lot of clothes and jewelry for her, hoping that she would have suitable clothes and jewelry for her coming-of-age ceremony.

In the middle of the month, Yuan Man finally got away and asked He Ke to take her out to play.

There was still some time before dinner, so they went to look at jewelry.

The two of them walked around slowly. There were so many things in the house that Yuanman couldn't think of anything he wanted for the moment, so he could only look around casually.

"Brother Katsuya?"

"Ok?"

"Where did you get the money?" In fact, what Yuanman wanted to ask was why he had the money to buy a house, decorate it, and buy her all kinds of things.

"Well...officials get a monthly salary, and the emperor will give rewards if he is pleased. My family also has some money, and I have some property myself. And the house was given to us by the emperor."

"Is that so?" Yuan Man nodded. It turned out that the royal family was rich.

"Don't worry, I can support you." He Ke also felt that the little girl was worrying about trivial things all day long.

The girl nodded and said, "Time passes so slowly. When we get married, I will have a dowry and betrothal gifts, and I can manage my own property."

He Ke also frowned, "Youyou is short of money?"

The little girl looked at him with some surprise and confusion, "No, I just prefer to have my own business to manage."

"It turns out that our Youyou can also do business."

"Hmph." The girl snorted proudly, and he couldn't help but touch her head.

"Ms. Guo, Mr. He, what a coincidence." A delicate female voice came.

Yuanman couldn't help but roll his eyes secretly. Really, how come he could always run into these two enemies everywhere?

She turned around and smiled and said, "Yanyan, are you here to buy jewelry too?"

"Well, Tzuyu said that the seasons are changing and it's time to buy me new clothes and jewelry. Youyou, are you the same?"

"We were just strolling around. My mother bought a lot for me."

Yanyan was stunned for a moment. How could she not know that Mrs. Guo had bought a lot of clothes and jewelry for her daughter who was about to come of age.

That's why she acted coquettishly and asked Liu Ziyu to accompany her to buy jewelry.

She doesn't want to be looked down upon by Guo Youyou.

"That's perfect. You're going to have your coming-of-age ceremony soon. Just pick out a gift for her."

"As long as Yanyan is willing to prepare, I like it." Yuanman continued to smile.

"OK then."

Yanyan started shopping. Yuanman felt a little tired, so he sat down with He Ke to eat cakes and drink tea.

Liu Ziyu also accompanied Yanyan, and all he knew to say along the way was, "Okay, okay, okay, as long as you like it, buy, buy, buy if you want to buy it."

Yuanman was speechless. It was so annoying. He really didn't want to see the two of them acting like the big enemy and the little enemy anymore.

"In two months at most, Youyou won't have to see her again." In fact, He Ke was also very annoyed.

Yuanman raised his eyebrows and said nothing.

Finally, the two of them slipped away quietly when they were not paying attention.

They went to the restaurant, and without the annoying people, Yuanman happily ate his meal and went home.

That day, Yuanman was measuring her body size at home while the embroiderer was preparing to embroider her wedding dress.

Changchun suddenly ran in excitedly, "Miss, good news."

Yuanman waved away the others, leaving Changchun and her alone.

"What's wrong?" she asked casually while sitting in a chair and drinking tea.

She asked Changchun to pay more attention to Yanyan, after all, he had to be on guard against her, and the "good news" was naturally that something bad had happened to Yanyan.

"The Duke's wife was furious when she found out that her son had spent several thousand taels of silver on Yanyan. She said, "How can a toy be worth so much money? He is so obsessed with toys that he can't concentrate on his studies anymore."

"Oh?" Yuan Man smiled. A toy? Losing one's ambition because of toy? This Duke's wife was very "refined" in her words.

However, the more parents oppose, the easier it is for the relationship to be unbreakable.

Changchun added: "Now the Duke is being made to kneel at home."

"What about Yanyan?"

"She was kneeling outside the mansion crying, saying that she had been the young master's woman for a long time and that the young master didn't want her anymore, so she had no choice but to die."

"And the Duke and the Young Master are also the ones who truly love Yan Yan."

"I heard that the Duke's wife was so angry that she couldn't speak. Now many people are waiting to see the Duke's Mansion make a fool of itself."

Things seem to be undecided for the time being, and Yanyan has temporarily grasped a slight advantage.

Yuan Man frowned, "Ignore them, you go down first, I'm going to take a nap."

"Yes."

Changchun went down, and Yuanman didn't want to worry about other people's affairs, so he just washed up and went to bed to rest.

When she woke up, Mrs. Guo asked her to go to the main hall to eat.

Yuanman washed and dressed up and went there.

Mrs. Guo and the old lady were both there, and Yuanman bowed to them one by one.
