In the little girl's watery eyes, Cen Yuan resisted the urge to kiss her and just stretched out his hand to rub her hair. "Let's go. If we don't leave now, it will be dawn again."

The little girl held her chin in her hand and looked at his face lazily, "If you get married, you don't have to leave."

After saying this, she seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly added, "I, I mean, we can sit and drink tea all night, regardless of whether it's dawn or not."

The man stood up and put his hands on the table. His handsome face was very close to her. His eyes were passionate and beautiful. His breath made her cheeks hot. "You think that after we get married, I can still sit and drink tea with you all night, huh?"

What good things are you thinking about!

The little girl blushed and retorted stubbornly, raising her chin, "What else? You promised at the beginning that it would be fake if you wanted it to be fake!"

"So do you want it to be fake or real?" In the candlelight, his face moved closer, so close that she could see her own appearance in his charming pupils.

For the first time, she hastily avoided his sight, still stubbornly saying, "Humph, if it's fake, then it's fake. If it's real, then it's real."

His gentle laughter spread in the cold dark night, so pleasant to the ear, like a feather gently brushing against her heart, making her feel tingling and numb.

He stood up straight and said goodbye with a double meaning, "My little girl, wait for me." Then he jumped out of the window.

Shi Anxia couldn't help herself and threw herself onto the windowsill, only to see a fragment of the moonlight.

With the window closed, the room was filled with his unique scent.

She cleared the table herself and rinsed her mouth with the cup she had prepared earlier. After everything was done, she quietly took off her clothes and lay down on the bed.

But I couldn't sleep, as Cen Yuan's appearance was all in my mind.

He laughed, his eyes were red, he held her hand, he stroked her hair, he peeled chestnuts for her and put the chestnut pulp into her mouth.

He said to her, I will come back again when I am alive, Xia Xia, I am back.

He was waiting for her to say, Qingyu, I will miss you forever even until I die.

A lot of things must have happened between them, but she couldn't remember them.

No, it's not that she can't remember, it's that she has lost everything about him.

She thought, it’s a good thing that he came to see her again.

At first, he came with more or less hostility or accusations, but when he found that she didn't remember anything, he didn't care anymore.

Cen Yuan swallowed all the grievances by herself.

Then tell her that it’s over.

That night, Shi Anxia tossed and turned, sometimes wanting to cry, sometimes laughing for no apparent reason.

This was the first time that the only person in her mind was Cen Yuan, and she could no longer think of anyone else or anything else.

She fell asleep thinking about Cen Yuan. When she fell asleep, she held a soft pillow filled with high-quality cotton in her arms.

That was given to her by Cen Yuan. It was soft and beautiful.

She loved it.

……

The Jian'an Marquis Mansion, which had survived the crisis, once again became the subject of heated discussion in the capital.

What should have been a crime that would have implicated all of his clans was averted. What kind of luck is this?

It’s high time to abolish the system of collective punishment!

"Have you heard? Mr. Yang Xuan is now living in the Marquis of Jian'an's mansion."

"Oh! No wonder!"

"This is called breaking the evil spirit! It is indeed mysterious, but some things still need to be believed."

Mr. Yang Xuan became very popular, and people who wanted to consult Feng Shui, those who felt they were possessed by evil spirits, those who wanted to make smoke come out of their ancestral graves, those who wanted to have a successful career in their careers, and those who wanted to have children all came to him.

There was a noise of carriages and horses in front of the Marquis Jian'an's mansion.

After this ordeal, everyone in the Marquis's Mansion seemed calmer and had the demeanor of a powerful and aristocratic family.

From the doorman to the waiter, from the old woman to the maid, they are no longer as lazy as before.

What needed to be sold was sold, what needed to be allocated was allocated, and the Marquis's Mansion showed a positive mental outlook from top to bottom.

The servants also received the noble families who came to see Mr. Yang Xuan in an orderly manner, and people would not feel that the servants of the marquis's mansion were fawning on the rich and the poor and were neglectful towards them.

Shi Anxia hired a special nanny to teach the servants in the Marquis's Mansion the etiquette of dealing with people and regulating their behavior.

Even a maid joked, "Our girl is addicted to running a school. I, an old woman, have never sat in a school and attended a class seriously in my life. This is the first time in my life."

The old women present all agreed with smiles on their faces.

A voice came from far away. It was Bei Hui. "Not only that, if you have a daughter or granddaughter who wants to learn needlework, learn to read, or want to learn the craft of making clothes, or even learn accounting, you can send them to Yunqi Academy."

The maid who was speaking was startled. Seeing the girl standing next to Bei Hui, she begged for mercy, "Please forgive me, girl. I actually wanted to say that you are capable and knowledgeable. I didn't mean to blame you..."

Shi Anxia smiled gently, "I understand good and bad words, you don't have to be too nervous. However, the most important thing is to work hard, talk less about right and wrong, and talk less about trivial matters, so that you can live a long and stable life."

"The young lady is right." The nanny tugged at her new clothes happily.

It was a blue dress with black stripes. Although it was made of cloth, it was much softer than ordinary fabrics. The maids in the mansion all wore the same clothes, and they had just changed into new clothes today.

Shi Anxia looked at the happy look on Madam's face and couldn't help but feel better. "Do you like this dress?"

"I like it! I like it, I like it!" The maids standing there were all smiling so hard that their teeth were showing.

Shi Anxia nodded, "As long as you like it, it's good. If you dress smartly and comb your hair neatly, you will be more motivated to work, right?"

"That's right, girl."

Some maids passed by, wearing the same fabric and pattern, but in different styles. They greeted the girl and went back to their work with smiles on their faces.

Everyone thought that the Marquis' Mansion was going to fall apart earlier, but they didn't expect that it would be better now.

It’s a sunny day today. The sun shines on the trees, illuminating the fresh green buds, making them look full of vitality.

Shi Anxia took the maids to look around, made a round inspection, and expressed their suggestions for rectification.

Beihui wrote them all down.

At the gate, Shi Anxia also met the elders of the Shi family who were visiting.

Everyone went in, chatting and laughing.

That day, several families in the Marquis' Mansion knelt outside the Chaoyang Palace to apologize. Later, when they walked out of the palace, they saw the elders of the Shi clan and the entire Wei family waiting in front of the palace gate for them to come out.

My uncle's family and many people I know came with me. They did not avoid the Marquis of Jian'an Mansion and drew a clear line between themselves and the Marquis of Jian'an Mansion. The scene was very touching.

As they walked, the clan leader asked, "Is your grandfather okay?"

Shi Anxia sighed, "Alas, he was clearly almost healed earlier..."

The clan leader was puzzled, "Isn't the girl from the Wei family very good? Why did he insist on canceling the engagement?"

Shi Anxia was at a loss for words, "Maybe grandfather dislikes the low status of the Wei Mansion."

"This old fool!" The clan leader shook his head. "Qi'er is so talented and has a bright future. Does he really need to marry a woman from a wealthy family to suppress him? I think the girl from the Wei family is well-educated and well-mannered, which is good."

Shi Anxia suppressed her laughter and said, "Then you, great grandfather, are qualified to say that about my grandfather." After a pause, she reminded him, "If you can speak, then say more."

The elder pointed at Shi Anxia and smiled lovingly, "You, you! Little clever ghost!"

Shi Anxia smiled and sent the elders into his grandfather's yard and then left.

Nan Yan came to report, "Miss, the eldest lady has summoned all the families to Houde Hall to discuss matters."
