In the carriage, Su Qiuyue felt that Xiaoye looked strange, so she made small talk and asked, "Xiaoye, what do you want to eat tonight?"

Xiaoye ignored her.

"So what do you want for breakfast tomorrow?"

Xiaoye still ignored her.

Su Qiuyue had no choice but to sit aside awkwardly, racking her brains to think about when she had offended him.

Oh, today's bodyguards are really advanced. Not only do they dare to show the disapproval to their employers, but they are also impossible to coax.

It was already midnight when Su Qiuyue returned to her suburban residence. She got off the carriage and knocked on the gate of the courtyard.

Xiangning was awakened by the sound of a carriage outside. Just as she was about to get up to go to the bathroom, she heard a knock on the door.

She was a little scared, after all, a few scoundrels had knocked on her door before.

She tiptoed to the door and put her ear to it.

"Xiangning, Qiao Le, are you there? I'm back." Su Qiuyue shouted outside the door.

When Xiangning heard the familiar voice, she was excited and opened the door immediately.

She saw her young lady standing outside the door with a smile on her face. After not seeing her for a long time, the young lady had become even more beautiful.

Xiangning rushed over and hugged Su Qiuyue, tears streaming down her face.

"Miss, you are finally back. I missed you so much."

Su Qiuyue touched Xiangning's head and said, "Xiangning, when did you learn to say these cheesy words?"

Xiang Ning smiled and said, "I learned this from Qiao Le. Qiao Le is a frivolous girl all day long."

"By the way, where's Qiao Le?"

"She married Censor Xu Zhen three months ago."

"What, she got married, and married Xu Zhen!" This is good news.

"Yes, this girl fell in love with Master Xu. She accompanied Xu's mother every day, cooked for the Xu family, and served tea and water. When Xu's mother saw Qiao, she treated her more kindly than her own daughter. Master Xu also fell in love with Qiao Le over time, so it was natural for them to get married."

"I said Qiao Le is smart. Xiang Ning, do you have a crush on someone? If you like someone, I will propose to you right away."

Xiang Ning blushed and said angrily, "Miss, what nonsense are you talking about? How can a girl propose to a boy? Besides, she doesn't have a lover yet."

"Oh my, our Xiangning is shy!"

Seeing Su Qiuyue teasing her, Xiangning pouted and turned her head away embarrassedly.

Su Qiuyue smiled sweetly and handed Jiao Xiao to Xiang Ning: "Xiang Ning, come and see what I brought you."

Xiangning took it and looked at it. She saw that it was the mermaid silk that she and her young lady had ordered at Tianyifang two years ago. She felt happy and sad at the same time.

Two years passed, but it seemed like twenty years had passed.

"Miss, let's go in and talk."

"it is good."

……

The next day, Su Qiuyue, who felt like she was being scratched by a cat, asked Ye to give Yun Chen a message for a meeting.

But no matter how long he waited, Yun Chen still didn't come to see him.

In the afternoon, Yun Chen finally arrived, and the two of them stayed together and talked sweet words for the whole afternoon.

In the evening, after seeing Yun Chen off, Qiao Le came to pick up Xiang Ning in a carriage.

"Sister Xiangning, have you changed your clothes? Please dress nicely."

Xiang Ning looked at Qiao Le who came to pick her up for a blind date and said, "My young lady is back. I have to take care of her, so I won't go to your house."

As soon as he heard that Su Qiuyue was back, Qiao Le jumped in happily like an excited little rabbit.

She grabbed Su Qiuyue's arm and cried, "Sister, I thought you were not coming back!"

Su Qiuyue quickly pushed her away and said disdainfully, "Don't wipe your snot on me."

Xiangning laughed happily when she saw the two of them started playing around again, and the three of them talked for a long time.

"Sister Xiangning, it's getting late, let's get going quickly." Qiao Le urged.

Xiangning shook her head.

Knowing that Xiang Ning was going to go on a blind date, Su Qiuyue also persuaded her: "Xiang Ning, just go. Our Imperial College is full of talented people. Maybe you can really find a husband of your dreams."

"Miss is making fun of me again."

Seeing Xiangning blushing again, Su Qiuyue pulled Xiangning into the carriage.

"I'll go with you."

The three of them took a carriage to the two-courtyard house that Xu Zhen had just bought. The house was already brightly lit and bustling with activity.

Li Ke raised his glass and said, "Brother Xu, congratulations on your new wife. Come, I'll toast you."

Xu Zhen drank the wine in the glass and said with a smile, "Thank you, Brother Li."

The people Xu Zhen invited to the banquet today were his good friends from the Imperial College, Li Ke, Zheng Nengqi, and Yue Zuo, who were also Xiang Ning's relatives at the request of Qiao Le.

His good friends are all upright and kind people. If they can help to find a marriage, it would naturally be a great thing.

Halfway through the banquet, Qiao Le walked in holding her two sisters.

Xu Zhen and others immediately bowed to greet him.

Seeing Su Qiuyue was also there, Xu Zhen was also very happy. He bowed and said, "Miss Su, long time no see."

Su Qiuyue returned the greeting: "Mr. Xu, long time no see."

Qiao Le stepped forward and introduced everyone to each other. They quickly became familiar with each other and drank and chatted together.

Su Qiuyue saw that Xu Zhen's three friends were tall and strong, suave, and had upright looks. They were indeed a good match.

Li Ke, Zheng Nengqi and Yue Zuo also knew the purpose of the two girls' visit and were very polite to Su Qiuyue and Xiang Ning.

Just as everyone was drinking and chatting happily, three men broke in from outside.

A man was waving a folding fan, wearing a colorful jacket with half of his chest exposed.

The other two men followed behind him, looking arrogant.

The man with the folding fan said, "Hey, why didn't Censor Xu call us when he was drinking?"

Li Ke saw that Gao Xianglong and his two lackeys were here with ill intentions, so he stood up and said, "We are drinking, what does it have to do with you?"

"Yes," Yue Zuo said, "We were drinking and invited you to come, but you were so shameless that you came uninvited."

The lackey number one, Zhang An, said, "We came here to give you face, so don't be ungrateful."

These three people were Xu Zhen's classmates at the Imperial College. They relied on the fact that they were King Min's brothers-in-law to act tyrannically and looked down on everyone.

Zheng Nengqi sneered: "This is a respectable family. Dandies and dogs are not welcome here."

Su Qiuyue glanced at Zheng Nengqi and praised in her heart: Well said.

The lackey number two, Zhuang Mingdong, was displeased when he heard this and shouted, "Who are you calling a dog?"

"Don't you know who the dog is?"

"Bah, you are the dog, your whole family are dogs." Zhuang Mingdong made a gesture as if he was ready to fight.

Seeing that the two were about to start pushing and shoving, Gao Xianglong stopped them with his folding fan and said with a fake smile: "Hey, we are here to drink, don't hurt the harmony."

The two men then took a few steps back and glared at each other.

Gao Xianglong took two steps forward, walked up to Su Qiuyue, and lifted her chin with his folding fan.

"Humph, you openly visit prostitutes, why are you pretending to be so noble!"
