On this day, the Lin family was as lively as if it were New Year's Day. Wang Xifeng and others came to congratulate them, and Jia Min was extremely happy.

But when he saw Jia Baoyu in the crowd, the smile on his face froze slightly.

In just a moment, everything returned to normal.

When Xue Baochai heard that her sisters were coming over today, she thought that they hadn't had a good time chatting and laughing together for a long time, so she came too.

Lin Daiyu greeted them with a smile on her face, and was immediately surrounded by the girls, who joked with her.

Jia Tanchun smiled and said, "Sister Lin...Oh no, it should be Princess Le'an. The princess looks so radiant today, as if she had drunk some nectar."

Lin Daiyu glared at her and said, "I haven't seen you for a while. When did you learn to be as talkative as Sister Feng?"

Wang Xifeng said, "Your Highness the Princess said that I was a talkative person, and I dare not refute it, but what Third Sister said is absolutely correct. The Princess looked like a goddess descending from the earth today, and I was so scared that I dared not approach her."

Wang Xifeng has always been eloquent, and her expressions are extremely vivid when she says something funny.

After everyone laughed, Jia Min hurriedly invited them to go to the reception room.

Jia Baoyu followed the girls closely. He wanted to go up to her and get closer to her, but he was afraid of being scolded by the vicious maids, so he could only look at Lin Daiyu from a distance across the crowd.

Lin Daiyu is still so extraordinary. Even though she has become a princess, she is not tainted by the slightest bit of vulgarity.

The emperor is so annoying. Why did he make Lin Daiyu a princess for no reason?

Now that was a good thing. Not only were there a few more maids around Lin Daiyu, but there were also a few more serious female officials, which did not hinder him from getting close to Lin Daiyu.

After everyone was seated, Xue Baochai waited for a while, but did not see Lin Chengyu, so she pretended to be casual and asked, "Chengyu is not at home today?"

Jia Min laughed and said, "Don't mention it. It's already a lot for him to stay at home for five days a month. Anyway, I can't control him, so I just let him be."

Xue Baochai's hopes along the way were completely dashed, and a flash of desolation and disappointment flashed across her eyes, "So that's how it is."

Everyone present was very smart. Even those who had not experienced this before could tell something was amiss after watching the situation from a distance for some time.

Xue Baochai was probably feeling some feelings for Lin Chengyu, but due to her girl's dignity, she did not make it public.

Only Jia Baoyu, a confused fool, looked at this and that, and asked in confusion: "Sister Bao and I are both worried about cousin Chengyu. Aunt, why don't you ask someone to call cousin back so that we can have some fun together?"

Jia Baoyu didn't dare to say anything else.

It's a hundred times better for everyone to have fun together than to be with that scary Prince Linhuai every day.

Chengyu is so pitiful.

Jia Baoyu sighed inwardly. He was frightened just to talk a few words with Prince Linhuai. It must be tormenting for Chengyu to be with the prince every day.

Jia Baoyu thought his suggestion was very good. He could use this as an excuse to let Chengyu go home and relax.

He didn't notice at all how weird the atmosphere became after he said this.

Everyone knew what Xue Baochai was thinking, but it was just tacitly understood. Now that Jia Baoyu had pointed it out foolishly, Xue Baochai's fair face turned red instantly.

After all, she is a girl. No matter how calm and composed she is on weekdays, she feels a little embarrassed at this moment.

Wang Xifeng had no choice but to play dumb and try to smooth things over with a smile, "Aunt, I wanted to say this just now. I haven't bickered with Chengyu for a long time, and I really miss him. If possible, ask someone to call him back. I must win this time, so that this trip will not be in vain."

Her words instantly changed the atmosphere.

"You are not young anymore, but you are still acting like a child. If you two meet, our ears will be in trouble again." Jia Min tapped Wang Xifeng's forehead affectionately. "Well, he hasn't been home for a few days. Let's take this opportunity today to bring him back even if we have to tie him up."

"That's just how much my aunt loves me." Wang Xifeng acted like a spoiled child, leaning close to Jia Min. After a moment, as if she had thought of something, her tone became strange, "Could it be that after seeing how Chengyu had said that to me last time, you wanted to see it happen again?"

At this point, Wang Xifeng was unwilling to do so. "Aunt, you can't do this. You must help me defeat him this time, otherwise I won't agree."

Jia Min said angrily, "You are becoming more and more childish as you grow older. Okay, I'll help you. Together, we can make Chengyu flee."

Wang Xifeng put her daughter on the ground and let her play by herself. She was not a stranger around and there was someone to take care of her wherever she went.

But the eldest daughter was still young and she walked unsteadily. Jia Min frowned and said, "She is just a child. How long can you hold her? You are too lazy. Just let her play by herself."

Wang Xifeng pretended to be angry and said, "Look, Auntie, you still say you are not partial. I saw it when I brought my eldest sister here a few times before. Now you only care about her and not me. Now I just let her play by herself and you scold me for being lazy. It really makes me sad."

After saying this, she picked up the handkerchief and pretended to wipe her tears, which made Jia Min laugh.

"You are already a mother, what are you talking about?" Jia Min asked someone to bring the eldest daughter over, let her sit on her lap and tease her, "Look at this little face, so delicate and beautiful, she will definitely be more beautiful than your mother when she grows up."

Wang Xifeng sighed exaggeratedly and spread her hands, "Listen everyone, isn't this biased? In just a moment, she's either saying I'm lazy or that I'm not pretty. If I sit any longer, I don't know how much more she'll say to me. I think I'd better leave."

He said this, but his body didn't move at all.

The girls were interrupted and immediately forgot what Jia Baoyu had just said. Xue Baochai looked at Wang Xifeng gratefully and laughed with everyone.

"Who's leaving?"

While they were chatting and laughing, Lin Chengyu came back. Xue Baochai's eyes suddenly lit up and she looked in the direction of the voice with her beautiful eyes.

She hasn't seen Lin Chengyu since the Xue family moved out of Rongguo Mansion. Now, he seems to be more handsome than the last time she saw him.

When Lin Chengyu saw the elder sister on Jia Min's lap, the corners of her lips curled up, "Come, let me hug you. I haven't seen the elder sister for a long time. She is still so cute."

Jia Min said: "You look like a kidnapped child. It's strange that my elder sister will let you hold her..."

Her last word was left unsaid.

Because the eldest sister was already stretching out her little arms, waiting eagerly.

Everyone burst out laughing.

Wang Xifeng laughed so hard that tears came out of her eyes. "Aunt, please stop talking. The eldest sister looks like she won't want to leave later."

Lin Chengyu said as a matter of course: "If you don't want to leave, then stay. Can't our Lin family afford to raise a child?"

The little girl is so sweet and soft, and she feels like a sweet ball when I hold her in my arms.

Wang Xifeng said, "You said it, don't regret it when she starts making a scene."

Lin Chengyu still didn't believe it. "She is so well-behaved, how can she make a fuss? Don't say anything nonsense. Even though we are children, we still have to respect ourselves."

The eldest sister sat in his arms, smiling like a fairy in a painting. Lin Chengyu became even more determined that Wang Xifeng's words were all slander.

Jia Min asked: "I just sent someone to call you, how come you're back so soon?"

"The prince and I were just coming here, and we ran into each other on the way."

Jia Min said "Oh" and asked again: "Is the prince back home?"

"No." Lin Chengyu looked calm, not realizing how shocking her words were. "He's here too. He's in my father's study right now. He'll be here soon."
