The eldest sister was reborn and the younger sister traveled through time. I just want to survive.

"Husband, why did you come here suddenly?" Qian Manman looked happy.

Today is the fourth day of the New Year, which is not the day Yan Yongchen should come to the East Courtyard.

Although there was no clear stipulation among Yan Yongchen's five wives and concubines about where he should stay on a certain day, a tacit understanding had been formed over the years.

He would usually go to the main courtyard to accompany Su on the first and fifth day of every month, and go to the east courtyard to accompany Qian Manman on the second, sixth and eighth day of every month, and arrange the rest of the time on his own.

If you think carefully, Qian Manman is the one who receives the most favor among all the wives and concubines, and she thinks she shouldn't ask for more.

"What? Could it be that Man'er doesn't welcome me here? Then I'll leave now." Yan Yongchen pretended to turn around and leave.

Qian Manman hurriedly stepped forward to pull him forward, "Now that you are here, you can't leave. Maner doesn't want your husband to come here!" After saying that, she pulled Yan Yongchen to sit on the rattan chair, looking shy like a 28-year-old girl.

"Hello, Father!" Yan Muxi stood up and bowed.

Yan Yongchen smiled and waved his hand, "We are the only family here, so there is no need to be polite, Sister Xi."

"Although my daughter is not talented, she knows how to behave. I will never lose my manners just because daddy dotes on me." Yan Muxi bowed again after saying this, "Dad finally has time to spend more time with mom, so my daughter won't stay and be an eyesore!"

Watching her daughter leave, Qian Manman couldn't help but sigh, "In my eyes, Sister Xi is still very young. Now she is about to get married. I wonder if she can take care of herself after entering the palace."

Yan Yongchen pulled Qian Manman in front of him, let her sit on his lap, and gently wrapped his arms around her frail body.

"The palace is not far away. Even if our sister Xi gets married, you and your daughter will be able to see each other often. Man'er doesn't need to be too sad."

Qian Manman climbed up Yan Yongchen's neck and buried her head in the crook of his neck. "Man'er knows everything, but I still can't help feeling sad. When Sister Xi leaves, I will be the only one left in the courtyard again."

"How can Man'er be the only one left? I've always been here!"

"My husband is not only busy with official duties, but he also has so many people to compensate. It's never just Man'er's."

Yan Yongchen patted Qian Manman on the back and said, "No matter when or where, Maner is the only one in my heart, and no one can replace you." His tone was so gentle as if he was coaxing a baby.

Qian Manman raised her head and looked straight into Yan Yongchen's eyes.

"Does my husband really only care about Man'er?"

"Man'er doesn't believe me?"

When Qian Manman met Yan Yongchen's extremely serious starry eyes, all of her grievances disappeared and she couldn't help but wet her eyes with tears.

"Believe. My husband is Maner's heaven. If Maner doesn't believe in her husband, who else can she believe in?"

Yan Muxi, who was squatting at the wall and eavesdropping, couldn't bear it any longer and went back to the house angrily.

After dozens of days of talking, it was all in vain in the end.

She finally understood that when A'niang faced Yan Yongchen, it was like a rabbit lying next to a wolf's mouth. The wolf only needed to open its mouth to swallow the rabbit.

"Miss, there's no news from the person we sent to follow Prince Rong. He might have been caught!" Qiuzhu hurriedly ran in.

Yin Xia soothed him, "Don't worry, tell me what happened in detail."

"She should have brought back a message this evening, but when I didn't receive any news, I sent someone to look for her. She didn't find him, but she brought back this." Qiuzhu handed an indigo purse to Yinxia.

Yin Xia checked it carefully before handing the thing to Yan Muxi. Inside the purse was a note asking her to meet at Huamanlou.

As the lights come on, the Huamanlou is already bustling with people.

Yan Muxi and his servant were taken to the largest private room, and Jixiang reached out to stop Dongyu.

"My master has ordered that only the second young lady is allowed to enter."

Dongyu slapped the arm in front of him and said, "I'll go wherever the lady goes, and no one can stop me."

"You are so bold and ignorant, how dare you disobey the master's orders?"

"I only follow the orders of my own master. What does the orders of other masters have to do with me?"

Seeing that the two were about to fight, Yan Muxi ordered Dong Yu, "You wait here, I will go in alone."

"Miss!" Dongyu was worried.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Yan Muxi said and pushed the door open.

The candlelight in the room was dim. Yan Muxi looked around before he saw Yu Wantai leaning on the armchair.

The man in front of him was still dressed in an extremely ostentatious outfit, but there was no trace of arrogance on his face. He sat there alone with his brows drooping, looking extremely lonely and desolate.

She walked over slowly, stopped five steps away from Yu Wantai, and knelt down to salute, "My little girl greets the prince!"

Yu Wantai didn't raise his eyes and whispered two words, "Sit down!"

Yan Muxi sat down on the armchair beside him, and then there was deathly silence.

Not wanting to stay outside for too long, she could only take the initiative to break the silence, "Is the prince's injury healed?"

"I won't die. Thank you for your concern, Miss Yan." Yu Wantai said in a light tone.

Some people become calmer the angrier they are. Yan Muxi doesn't know if Yu Wantai is that kind of person.

She bit the bullet and asked in a low voice, "I wonder why the prince invited me here?"

"This prince is also very curious. What is the second lady's intention in having people keep an eye on me?" Yu Wantai played with the wine cup in his hand, his tone nonchalant as if he was just asking casually.

Yan Muxi secretly observed his expression, carefully considered her words, and then carefully explained: "Your Highness has misunderstood. I wanted to tell you something before. But I couldn't find the opportunity, so I had to resort to this desperate measure and sent someone to watch you when you leave the palace. I have no ill intentions."

"Really? I wonder what Miss Yan wants to say to this prince. It's the same if she says it now." Yu Wantai's tone was still indifferent, and he didn't even lift his eyelids to look at her.

"It's different now. Thanks to the Young Master, there's no need to say those words anymore. Because the result will be the same whether you say it or not, unless the Young Master can ask the Queen to withdraw her decree to grant the marriage." Yan Muxi tried hard to calm down, but still couldn't remain calm.

"Heh!" Yu Wantai chuckled and finally raised his eyelids to look over. "At this point, Miss Yan is still worrying about these useless things. Is that interesting?"

Meeting those calm peach blossom eyes, Yan Muxi could hardly suppress the frustration deep in her heart.

"Why? My Lord, do you think that I shouldn't be angry? If you hadn't saved the wrong person, and then asked the Queen for an order based on Yan Muyun's words, I could have..."

"Heh," Yu Wantai chuckled, "What could Second Miss Yan have done? Just find a random man to marry? Or after having physical contact with me, you still wanted to find an unlucky guy to take you in?"

Seeing Yan Muxi was stunned but didn't refute, Yu Wantai knew that he had guessed correctly, and said, "Let's not talk about how much it would cost to deal with this. Miss Yan, do you really think that the result of doing so will be better than entering Prince Rong's mansion? In other words, can the person you entrusted really protect you?"

Yan Muxi's mind was a little confused, "I don't know what the prince meant by that?"

Yu Wantai lowered his eyes and continued to play with the wine cup in his hand. "Although our Rong Palace is far away from the disputes in the court, it is not something that any villain can provoke! What others can give to Second Miss Yan, this prince can also give you."
