Female student: I'm sorry, the prince is mine.

The three Nanshan people returned to the yard with their new year's goods. Liang came out to welcome him.

Several people opened various packages on the stone table in the outer courtyard.

Xiaoliang jumped up and started playing with the wooden sword and wooden top that the eldest lady bought. He also exclaimed "Wow, wow", making the three of them laugh.

"As soon as the eldest lady comes back, our courtyard will be alive. It's great!"

Mrs. Liang was happy from the bottom of her heart.

In the past, they were the only family in the yard. The wife didn't like to be disturbed when she was sick, and they didn't dare to take the initiative and do lively things. Apart from reading the letters sent by the eldest lady and cleaning, there is nothing else.

Now it's like celebrating the New Year, everyone is having fun and there are new clothes to wear.

If those bitches come here to cause mischief, they already have a backbone. No need to hide in the cracks in the ground like before!

At that time, if she wanted to curse, she had to be careful not to be overheard. After all, she was the only one beside the madam, so she had to protect the eldest lady properly.

it's good now. The eldest lady is also able to take on more tasks than before.

Liang and Liu Zhu touched the soft new clothes and thanked them repeatedly.

Ah Chun also took off his curtain hat at this time and took the eldest lady's clothes into the room. She must help the eldest lady try it on for a while.

After everyone returned the gifts given by the eldest lady to their residences, Mrs. Liang accompanied Nanshan and Achun to pay their respects to the lady.

Seeing Achun's face covered with scars, Wang showed a trace of pity in her eyes. Before Nanshan could explain how she brought Achun back from the street, she raised her hand and asked them to get up.

"Poor child, please stay close to the eldest lady."

"Thank you madam, Ah Chun will take good care of the eldest lady."

Seeing Wang nodding with satisfaction, Achun quickly helped Nanshan stand up together.

After talking in the room for a while, Mrs. Wang felt a little tired and sent everyone out again.

-

When Nanshan and Achun returned to the room, Achun started cooking tea for the eldest lady to drink. After her hands warmed up, he took out a new goose-yellow dress and shouted that he wanted to help the eldest lady try it on.

Nanshan laughed. He was over four hundred years old, but he was still a child after all. So he obeyed her and made some gestures in front of the bronze mirror.

"Miss, you have chosen so well! This winter coat makes you look even more bright and fair when you wear it!"

"The little mouth is quite sweet." Nanshan looked at the mirror, stretched out his hand to touch the face of the teenage girl, and looked at the fresh and tender lips, the fan-like eyelashes, the tightness and vitality at the corners of the eyes and eyebrows.

Suddenly she felt that no matter how many times she started over, she would still be willing.

After all, who can have such a continuous experience? How many people are reluctant to part with their lives when they are about to die, wanting to live again.

While Ah Chun was immersed in her appearance in the mirror and complimented her on how beautiful she was regardless of her injuries, there was only a commotion in the yard.

Then there was the sound of a group of people talking.

"Move here, quickly, quickly. Oops, your hands are so clumsy, hurry up."

"Aunt Cui, how are you doing, sister? I'll go take a look." It was the voice of a gentle and anxious young woman. Hearing that Wang was resting, the young woman quickly ordered the servants who came after her to keep their voices down.

"Aunt Cui, where's the eldest sister? I brought her a lot of clothes!" It was a girlish voice.

"Xiaoliang, what are you playing at? I want it too!" A milky voice said.

"Young master! You're back! Come on, practice martial arts with me! You hold the sword, I'll use the branches!" Another childish voice said.

Nanshan rolled his eyes, this voice was quite familiar.

"Second Madam, you're here just in time. The lunch man will be ready soon! Sit down and have a rest." Aunt Cui's voice sounded.

Nanshan opened the door and went out, and saw a young woman sitting at the table from the window of the front hall, with curved eyebrows and a pair of peach blossom eyes that were full of hope, and her gestures were gentle but not weak.

The concubine is here.

Nanshan asked Achun to help put on the veil, then opened the door and went out to meet them.

"Concubine..." Just as she was about to go in and say hello, she saw two black figures rushing towards her, one hugging her neck and the other hugging her legs.

"Sister, I miss you so much!" Two voices, one high and one low, rang at the same time.

This caused the young woman in the front hall to look out of the window, cover her mouth with a handkerchief and laugh: "How old are you two? Why are you so startled? Please ask eldest sister to come and sit down."

The two quickly let go of Nanshan's neck and thighs, and one person pulled her to the front hall.

"Concubine." Nanshan stepped forward to greet her, her hands held tightly by the young woman.

This was Zhang, the second concubine who asked the imperial doctor to come and see her when her mouth was broken. She was one of the only people in the house who made her happy.

"Xiaoyou, what's wrong with your face?" A layer of mist rose in Zhang's peach blossom eyes, and behind the mist was full of fear. It turned out that the second sister held her too hard and rubbed her veil down, exposing the injury.

Only then did siblings Nanshan Wan and Nanshan Yu react. Seeing the bloody scabs on their eldest sister's face, their eyes began to water.

"I scared my mother-in-law. It's okay. It's just a flesh wound. It will heal soon." Nanshan said as he pulled his second sister and younger brother to sit down: "Do my younger sisters still recognize me as my elder sister?"

"Why are you scared?"

"Of course I recognize it."

The mother and daughter said in unison.

Nanshan smiled: "I hope I didn't scare you."

"I should have come back early." Mrs. Zhang looked at the bloody scab on Nanshan's face and could see that it was a recent injury.

"My mother-in-law is too worried. Xiaoyou has grown up. I can face many things by myself. It's time for me to protect you."

"We don't need your protection. Just take care of yourself." Zhang Shi Liuye frowned and looked at Nanshan's wounds, still feeling distressed.

"My mother-in-law's return to her parents' home is going smoothly?"

"It went well. My father's condition has improved. Thank you very much, Miss, for your concern."

"Did you do anything on the way back?"

"No, no, no, I brought a lot of things for you."

Mrs. Zhang was very distressed when she heard these words. She has seen the older children mature and have a little more warmth since she was a child. It's not as cold as before.

Nanshan called Ah Chun, who was guarding outside the hall, to come in and ask her to meet the second concubine, the second young lady and the young master. Ah Chun's sweet voice made Mrs. Zhang's face look even more loving.

Seeing that the girl also had scars on her face, Mrs. Zhang felt that this must also be a child suffering from hardship, so she didn't ask any more questions, grabbed a silver coin and pressed it into Achun's palm.

Ah Chun thanked his second aunt for the reward and happily returned to wait outside the hall. She could see that the eldest lady was very close to the concubine, so she didn't bother them by staying in the hall.

Nanshan looked at Achun funny, he was a man who could make money, how could he be so happy after getting a piece of silver?

"Xiaoyou, come here." Mrs. Zhang greeted Nanshan.

Nanshan walked over, thinking that Zhang had not seen enough of him, but before he could stand still, his hand was pulled over by her, and a jade bracelet with warm tentacles was put on her wrist.

"Concubine?" This bracelet is crystal clear and soft to the touch. It can be seen that it has been carefully selected.

"Auntie knows that you are getting engaged soon, so I'll give you some makeup." As soon as Zhang's words left her mouth, she was heard by Mrs. Liang who was about to come in to set the table, and her face fell with a "sting".

"Second Madam, don't mention it. Li Xiyuan and Nanshan Xi are already settled." Ms. Liang sneered.

Zhang was stunned, what happened during her absence?

Nanshan explained the matter simply: "My mother-in-law, there is no need to feel sorry for me. I have no thoughts about Li Xiyuan."

"That's good, let's not be too proud of this kind of man. The eldest lady can definitely find a better one."

"My concubine is right." When she has money, she can choose whatever she wants.

Seeing that Nanshan didn't have any mood swings, but looked relieved, Zhang just thought she had let go.

After greeting the servants in the courtyard and setting the table together, Mrs. Zhang asked them to go back to her Qingxin Pavilion. He also ordered them to come back in a few moments to help carry the gifts into the house.

At this time, Mrs. Wang hadn't woken up yet, so Nanshan called Achun and Xiaoliang over to have a meal together.

Mrs. Wang didn't like to be watched, so Mrs. Liang usually stayed in the outer room. However, there were few servants in the courtyard. In order not to delay serving his wife, Liang asked Liu Zhu to make a bell and hang it on the edge of Wang's bed. When Wang woke up, she could ring the bell to signal.

After everyone finished their meal and sat in the hall for a while, they heard a bell ringing from Wang's room.

Mrs. Liang went in first to serve her some food, squeezed her legs, and then brought everyone in.

As soon as she entered, Mrs. Zhang's eyebrows wrinkled again. What she hated the most was seeing her sister from the same hometown looking lifeless.

The young master Nanshan Yu ran over and lay on the edge of the bed. Mrs. Wang touched his face, her eyes full of love and longing. Nanshan Wanze bowed respectfully and stood aside.

After saying a few words, Mrs. Zhang saw that Mrs. Wang's face was not very good, so she quickly asked her to have a good rest and took the children back to her yard. It was such a rush today, and the children were all tired. They were all back, so I had plenty of time to come over and have a look.

In fact, when she went home this time, she brought her sister's "letter home" as usual. This was what Xiaoyou asked her to do before going to the academy.

My sister had some unpleasant troubles with her family when she got married, and she has not gotten over this hurdle yet. She could only mediate.
