Yuwen Jin looked at the hairpin for a moment, then was stunned for a moment and didn't notice that Tang Yuwei had snatched it away.

"Great! Pingce, you actually acted in front of the Queen Mother, you are really good?"

In that moment of daze, Yuwen Jin had already figured out the origin of the hairpin, so he kept calling Tang Yuwei's nickname and kept pestering him.

Tang Yuwei put away the hairpin and looked at Yuwen Jin with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Haha! Don't think you're the only one who can solve cases. I can do it, too!" Yu Wenjin propped up his chin and looked at Tang Yuwei's cold face with a sneer.

"I was five years old when the Left Prime Minister married his first wife, Jia. Grand Tutor Duan had only one daughter, so she was naturally treated like the apple of her eye.

"That day, I went to watch the ceremony with the Queen Mother and accidentally saw this set of items. The Queen Mother said that this item was rare and asked one more question. Master, please be careful. This is something that her legitimate daughter and the general of Rong State left for Jia family."

It turns out that this hairpin is so important. Tang Yuwei felt even more uneasy after hearing this.

How could such an important thing be used to buy just a few bowls of noodles?

If you didn't really care about him, how could you give this to him?

But what did she mean when she said that day that she was willing to go to Mobei with him?

Is it really just for the sake of helping her father?

After some thought, he seemed to want to let it go, but he couldn't. The hairpin on his chest became even tighter!

Yuwen Jin saw the silent worry on Tang Yuwei's face, "So! You rejected this marriage in front of the Queen Mother, what's the matter? Now you carry such a close-fitting item with you, tell me, what's wrong with you?"

The topic changed. Tang Yuwei, the taciturn man, remained silent, but Yuwen Jin became more and more excited.

"Come to think of it, my Crown Princess and Miss Xue are cousins. You are lowering yourself to me again. You should call me brother-in-law! Hahahaha!"

"Your Highness, it's time for you to return to the Crown Prince's Mansion." Tang Yuwei frowned, almost annoyed by Yu Wenjin's chatterbox, "I won't see you off."

Tang Yuwei took a lofty step and quickly disappeared among the multi-story buildings.

Yu Wenjin was left alone on the roof, screaming, "I'm going to meet the young marquis in this palace tomorrow. Are you going or not?"

The sound echoed in the air, startling a few birds and causing them to flap their wings, but nothing else.

Early in the morning at Xue Mansion,

Xue Qingqing was already waiting impatiently in the carriage in front of the gate, "Master Lang, go and see why my sister hasn't come out yet!"

Manager Lang was about to go in to look for him.

Yangyang led Biluo and a man dressed as a servant and walked out slowly, "Sister, are you getting impatient?"

Looking at the opened curtain on the carriage, Xue Qingqing snorted and lowered the curtain.

Manager Lang glanced at the servant behind Yangyang and said, "Miss, who is this? Why haven't I seen him in your house before?"

Yangyang did not greet the carriage. She slightly turned her head to look behind her, then turned back to Lang, "Oh! This is Biluo's distant cousin. He happened to come to Beijing to visit relatives these few days. I thought about going to the young marquis's villa today, so I asked him to come along. Maybe he can help Lang?"

The man behind him raised his head slightly, revealing a simple and honest face. He nodded without saying anything.

Seeing that he was quite tall, Manager Lang agreed to let him go along with the carriage.

"When are we leaving?" Xue Qingqing's impatient voice came from the carriage.

Yangyang got on the carriage and looked at Xue Qingqing's expression as if everyone owed her something, without saying much along the way.

The car drove steadily for more than ten miles. I didn't expect that the villa of this young marquis was quite elegant, nestled in the mountains and beside the water.

Xue Qingqing didn't care about Yangyang and got out of the car first.

Yangyang then realized that the maid who helped her get out of the car was not Guixiang, but the arrogant girl she saw in Jiang Jiarou's room last time.

"Haitong, be smart and don't cause trouble for me like Guixiang did!" Xue Qingqing adjusted the pearl tassel hairpin on her head that she had carefully selected, and it jingled as if she wanted to show off in front of Yangyang.

If Xiao Tao was around, there would be no shortage of people who would argue with her, but Biluo never cared about these, except for the fact that she said a few more words to Jiang Chi when they met last time.

Biluo was holding a red sandalwood box in her hand and followed Yangyang without saying much.

Several people, including the headmaster Lang, were quickly welcomed into the mansion by the people from the young marquis's mansion.

Yangyang didn't want to say much, but Xue Qingqing was the type who would feel uncomfortable if she didn't make some sarcastic remarks to Yangyang, "Sister, you really bring shame to our Xiangfu. You said you would come to visit today, so who are you trying to show off to with your plain hair?"

"Sister, what you said is really wrong. Mother just passed away a few days ago. You and I are both in mourning. How can we dress up so extravagantly? Even leaving the house today is inappropriate!" Yangyang looked straight ahead and made Xue Qingqing speechless with just a few words.

Madam Xue Zhang is her biological mother. She is a good person. Now she is only thinking about getting the young marquis and has forgotten what she has done.

The steward of the young marquis's mansion led them all the way to the main hall, and then asked them to sit down.

"My two young ladies, it is unfortunate that a distinguished guest is visiting our residence today. My young master has received the invitation from the Left Prime Minister. Please wait for a moment. After the distinguished guest leaves, my young master will come over."

"Distinguished guests? Who is more precious than us? My father personally sent an invitation and asked my two sisters to come here early in the morning. Is this also the way you treat guests in your mansion?"

Xue Qingqing had just been scolded by Yangyang, and she was already very happy to see her lover, but now she felt even more unhappy.

"My dear ladies, I am so sorry. The distinguished guest came unexpectedly. We have no intention of neglecting you!"

Xue Qingqing fiddled with the teacup in her hand, clinking the lid against the cup.

She stared at Yangyang again, who remained silent. Seeing that Yangyang was not moved at all, she turned around and glared at Lang, the manager standing beside her.

Manager Lang understood and coughed twice.

"Please ask the head officer to go and make the announcement. We can't let our young lady wait here forever, right?"

As he was talking, a familiar maid walked in from outside the room, looking at him with a proud demeanor and no one in her eyes.

He first glanced at the angry Xue Qingqing, then looked at Yangyang who nodded slightly.

Nanny Chang has a good memory and knows how to handle things.

"Greetings to the two young ladies. We met the second young lady at her coming-of-age ceremony not long ago." Then he sat on the armchair opposite and looked at the two young ladies from the Xue family.

Xue Qingqing certainly remembered this nanny. She had humiliated her on her coming-of-age day.

That day, the nanny gave herself a cheap coral headpiece, but gave Xue Yangyang a set of "gem-inlaid kingfisher hairpins".

Looking at the white hairpin on Yangyang's head today, he became even angrier.

I thought that if I marry into the Marquis's Mansion in the future, I must teach this nanny who looks down on others a lesson.

But today, she had to curb her sister's arrogance first. This was not her own home, so she wanted to see how her sister could still act so arrogantly.

"Of course I have seen her, but my sister was the future young lady of the Hou Mansion at that time, but now, unfortunately, she has become the future general's wife in the blink of an eye."

Xue Qingqing was really good at pinching her fingers to dispel the pain. Her eyes flickered between Yangyang and the nanny. She said something and then waited to see how the two of them would react.

But she is my own sister after all. It is really stupid to criticize my own sister in public!

Yangyang was not annoyed, but pretended to be very sad and reluctant, "Biluo, hand the box to Nanny Chang."

Biluo nodded and placed the box in her hand on the table next to Nanny Chang.

Yangyang wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, lowered her eyebrows and said softly,

"Madame Chang, it's all because Yangyang doesn't have that blessing. This set of gem-inlaid and kingfisher-emerald hairpins that you gave to my sister on her coming-of-age day on behalf of the old lady, Yangyang can't even hold it now, and I really feel unworthy of it!"

It's not that I'm holding it back on purpose, but when I came here today, I thought of returning this thing.

First, to avoid the young marquis's house from making such a fuss.

Secondly, it fulfilled Xue Qingqing's shallow thoughts. No matter whether she could marry into the Marquis' Mansion or not, with her personality, Yangyang definitely didn't want to get entangled with her.
