The housekeeper had just passed the message when Ning Sinian walked in. He was dressed in red, with his hair tied up loosely. His amorous eyes were full of romantic smiles.

"I am late, please forgive me, Prime Minister and Madam. I have already prepared Sisi's gift and am waiting to hand it to her personally."

He took out a small box from his arms and opened it. Inside lay a aventurine agate jade hairpin, shining brightly.

This is a rare ornament that only princesses are qualified to use.

"Such a valuable gift, Si Nian, you are so thoughtful."

Yun Fang nodded with satisfaction. Liu Shulan, who was standing by, was also filled with joy as she looked at her future son-in-law.

What she was most proud of was finding a noble husband for her daughter.

All the rich ladies in the court and the public were jealous of Yun Nian, who was already a confirmed Crown Prince's consort.

Apart from the terrible Regent, there is no other young talent who can compare to Ning Si Nian.

"Sisi, why don't you accept it? Don't you like it?"

Ning Sinian tilted his head, but Yun Nian shuddered. The red clothes he wore seemed to be dyed with blood.

She would never forget the way Ning Sinian smiled, tilted his head, and slowly licked the blood off the dagger.

That's her blood.

"like."

She opened her mouth reflexively, but immediately bit her tongue.

Damn it, she actually still has the habits from her previous life,

Ning Si Nian always liked to let her watch those twisted people having fun in front of him, the woman who lost her eyes, the man who lost his legs, crawling on the ground like dogs to grab food,

Ning Sinian watched as he cut her arm with a dagger, watching the blood flow out, excited and crazy.

"Do you not like it?"

If Yun Nian didn't say "I like it", he would keep repeating it until she had a mental breakdown.

He and Yun Jiao are a pair of accomplices who are in cahoots with each other.

By the way, where is Yunjiao?

She took the box and saw her cousin next to her with a thoughtful look on her face.

Yun Jiao's eyes flickered for a moment, and then she immediately put on an innocent smile.

"So it's my brother-in-law. I've only heard about him from my aunt, but never seen him in person. He's really a dashing man. If I were your sister, I would definitely be deeply in love with you."

"Jiaojiao."

Yun Shuo scolded her, how could an unmarried girl say such outrageous words? If people knew about it, they would definitely laugh at her.

Yun Jiao stuck out her tongue.

"Brother, don't worry. There are only family members here, no outsiders. That's what I said. Don't you agree? Sister?"

Yun Nian did not answer, but held the box tightly with his hands until they turned pale.

Seeing that she remained silent, Ning Sinian's eyes flashed with a dark light.

"Nothing, I also think I am handsome and unrivaled. There is no man in this world who is more suitable to be a son-in-law than me."

Dad and Mom laughed together. It seemed that they were really satisfied with Ning Si Nian. Yun Nian tried hard to control his breathing so as not to throw the box in his hand out impulsively.

Just bear with it. Ning Sinian should have noticed Yun Jiao by now. When they are secretly communicating, he can take the opportunity to ask Yun Jiao to marry him instead.

In this way, they shouldn't hate me anymore, right?

After finally waiting for Ning Si Nian to leave, she finally returned to her boudoir.

"Chun Yu, throw this away... Forget it, hide it where I can't see it and never take it out."

Chunyu looked at her young lady in surprise. If she had received such a beautiful gift in the past, she would have been eager to ask Dongxue to comb her hair into a beautiful bun to match it.

Why does it look so discarded now?

But as a maid, she couldn't question her master's thoughts. Since Yun Nian didn't like it, she would just put it away.

Today, she had a smooth and peaceful coming of age ceremony. Apart from the regent, there were no complications. She did not anger Lady Liu, nor did she become a laughing stock in Luochuan City.

In the end, my father got angry, but it doesn't matter. For the jade pendant, it's worth it.

When Qiulan took off her coat, she hurriedly remembered,

"Oh, Qiulan, go get me a Buddhist scripture. I want the one my mother always reads."

"Miss, the water for the hot compress is getting cold."

Qiulan looked at the young lady's bruised knees in embarrassment. In just one hour, all the wounds from kneeling on the ground were exposed. The bruises attached to her fair skin looked even more horrifying.

"Then never mind. Hurry up and apply the medicine and bring the Buddhist scriptures."

Yun Nian said nonchalantly. The slight pain made her sober. She had to recite the sutra.

Obscure scriptures were recited from her mouth, and the jade pendant lay safely in her clenched hands, warm and peaceful.

Xiyu sat on the roof with one leg bent, listening to Yunnian's soft muttering coming from the room below, the corners of her mouth slowly raised,

He likes this kind of night, this kind of moment. At this time, the lady is alone with him, and she belongs to him alone.

He fiddled with the long whip at his waist, and there were wounds on his arms from the sword.

Yun Fang bathed and changed clothes with the help of Liu Shulan. They lay on the bed and began to sigh again.

"It seems Sisi still has some resentment. Otherwise, why would she suddenly attack the Regent at her coming-of-age ceremony?"

"Master, Sisi...maybe she is still too naughty and doesn't know the intricacies of the court. She is making things difficult for you."

Yun Fang shook his head and embraced his beloved wife.

"I'm fine. I'll just continue to be criticized by Wei Qingjue. But if he gets jealous and chooses to attack Sisi, that would be terrible."

Hearing this, Liu Shulan didn't know what to do. She could only hug Yun Fang back to comfort him and whispered softly,

"Fortunately, Jiaojiao is gentle and kind, and well-educated. With her around, Sisi should learn something. Otherwise, she won't be able to be so willful after marrying into the Jinyang Palace."

"I think the prince also likes our Sisi very much, so there is no need to worry. My Prime Minister's Mansion has some status. Even if he doesn't like her, Ning Sinian will not fail to give Sisi the respect she deserves."

It was their fault that they indulged Sisi too much, which made her fearless.

"We need to train her better, at least to get rid of her jealous nature. Jiaojiao is her sister, she won't harm her, and she doesn't fight for anything. Such a good daughter is a blessing to our Yun family."

The two fell asleep after chatting, but they didn't notice the maid eavesdropping outside the door.

In the dead of night, Yun Jiao sat and listened to the conversation overheard by the servants.

"Oh!"

"You want to use me as your daughter's philosopher's stone? No way! How dare you humiliate me like this? Just wait and see. Yun Nian, Prime Minister's Mansion, I will trample you all under my feet."
