I've been reborn, who would still raise a son from another family? Go away

The secret guards hiding in the dark nodded frequently. The prince had reminded them overtly and covertly a hundred times while wearing this robe. He almost wanted to ask for an imperial decree to announce to the world that this robe was made for him by Madam Liu herself.

Turning around, I saw Xie Jingrui pulling his robe and moving towards Liu Yueru with a proud look on his face.

Xie Jingrui whispered in her ear, "It fits me very well, Yue'er, but did you secretly measure my body while I was asleep at night?"

Liu Yueru's face quickly turned red, and she ran away from him in embarrassment. "You are so outspoken!"

Xie Jingrui couldn't help laughing when he saw her angry and embarrassed look, and followed her closely.

After they went in, the two little guys were opening the gift boxes in the yard, and the table was piled high with all those things.

Xie Jingrui went forward to check it out. The things were indeed quite rare, but they were all flashy and impractical.

He put the things down with a lack of interest and reached out to Liu Yueru.

"What?" Liu Yueru glanced at him in confusion.

Xie Jingrui silently withdrew his hand, thinking that with so many things in Dongyang, couldn’t he find a small item to give to himself?

Thinking of this, Xie Jingrui took out an exquisitely carved gold and jade hairpin and pushed it in front of Liu Yueru; "I took a special look when I passed by, and I liked this hairpin at first sight. It suits you very well."

Liu Yueru took the box and looked at it carefully. It was a white magnolia bud that was about to bloom. It was simple and unique, and exactly what Liu Yueru liked.

She slowly took out a small gift box from her sleeve, secretly stuffed it into Xie Jingrui's hand, and whispered, "Look at it later."

Xie Jingrui put the things away.

The butler came in with the letter.

Liu Yueru glanced at the handwriting on the letter and a smile appeared on her face. She quickly opened the letter and read ten lines at a glance.

He quickly put away the letter and said to Xie Jingrui, "My elder brother said in the letter that if we reach Kyoto and the journey is smooth, we will be able to return to the mansion in ten days."

Xie Jingrui nodded slightly.

Liu Yueru thought about her father's condition and asked, "How is father's health lately?"

Xie Jingrui's face darkened slightly. "Zhao Wanyan should have sensed something was wrong. The last time those people created a riot, they wanted to take the opportunity to rescue Zhao Wanyan. However, those people were detained in the Dali Temple. Everyone was on guard and failed to rescue Zhao Wanyan. Recently, she should have felt that her time was running out and she frequently tried to find opportunities to hang herself."

"Lord Liu is doing fine. If it weren't for Zhao Wanyan's constant trouble, everything would be fine."

Liu Yueru frowned, "Is the medicine the miracle doctor gave me still useful?"

"The guards have been preparing it all along. It's effective and can temporarily suppress the poison in Lord Liu's body. Don't worry."

In about ten days, the eldest brother would be able to bring the Gu Po back with him, and Liu Yueru was relieved. However, the letter also said that there was a woman coming back with them, and the eldest brother asked her to prepare two residences in the mansion that were closer to Mu Mu's yard, as if he wanted her to live there permanently.

But Liu Yueru couldn’t understand what kind of woman came back with her eldest brother.

The days passed quickly.

Prime Minister Ye hurried back to Kyoto and prepared a banquet for Ye Zhiwan as quickly as possible.

This banquet invited so many guests that it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was comparable to the last palace banquet.

The Liu family was also invited. Liu Zimo has been very busy lately. Although Liu Yueru didn't want to attend, she was the only one who could represent the Liu family.

So I got up early to pack up.

Liu Yueru's eyes fell on the exquisite gift box. Looking at the beautifully carved white magnolia flowers in the box, she took the hairpin out of it. It sparkled in the sunlight.

"Use this hairpin." Liu Yueru handed the hairpin to Bai Lu.

Bai Lu took a look, then said with a smile, "Although the prince is usually careless, he has a good eye for choosing things. Few men can spend time on this."

Liu Yueru pursed her lips and said nothing.

"Today we are attending Miss Ye's banquet, so you can wear something simple and elegant, but don't be too flashy."

"Yes." Lixia took out a piece of plain soft silk from the dressing room. It was simple and elegant yet dignified.

When Liu Yueru arrived, the young ladies also came in droves, and she walked at the end of the crowd.

Xie Anlan also arrived with her. When Liu Yueru saw Xie Anlan, she was slightly stunned.

The originally round and fair-skinned person seemed like a completely different person when I saw her today.

With a pointed chin, he was thin and pitiful, with a faint dark circle under his eyes. Xie Anlan felt Liu Yueru's gaze and nodded slightly at her.

Liu Yueru finally came back to her senses and responded with a faint smile.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd turned around and looked in the direction of Liu Yueru with resentful eyes.

Xie Anlan just happened to see the other person's gaze and frowned slightly.

I didn't want to attend the banquet this time, but the Queen asked Xie Anlan to be present, so I had to come.

She found a deserted place and sat down alone, looking at the housekeepers who were always around her.

Now they all flocked to Ye Zhiwan, surrounding her and asking her all kinds of questions.

Liu Yueru was not interested in these things either. Her current identity was a bit awkward, and being a divorced woman was an unlucky existence for those young ladies from official families.

Therefore, no one wanted to get too close to Liu Yueru, and no one even wanted to get close to her.

Gu Yuwei has been holding a grudge against Liu Yueru ever since the incident with Xie Jingrui last time. She watched Liu Yueru sitting alone in the pavilion.

She smiled contemptuously, walked forward and said to Liu Yueru, "Today is a banquet to celebrate Miss Ye's return. Why are you staying alone, Madam Liu? People who don't know would think that Miss Ye didn't treat you well and deliberately ignored you."

Liu Yueru took a sip of the tea in her hand, then put the teacup down and looked at the other person indifferently.

Gu Yuwei was also sure that Liu Yueru did not directly say that she was divorced, so she dared to mock her like this.

Seeing Liu Yueru's indifferent expression, Gu Yuwei asked back with a guilty conscience, "Isn't it?"

Liu Yueru suddenly stood up from her seat, looked down at Gu Yuwei and said, "Miss Gu, if you don't even understand why I have to sit here alone, you should go back and ask the governess for advice, and come back after you have learned the rules."

The noble ladies present naturally understood the implication of Liu Yueru's words. Although the young ladies from official families were not yet married, they also had special nurses to teach them these rules, so they also understood them.

Gu Yuwei just wanted to embarrass Liu Yueru in public, but everyone was just watching the show and didn't try to expose Gu Yuwei.

Instead, he stood there quietly, wanting to see how Liu Yueru would deal with it.

Ye Zhiwan also looked at Liu Yueru with interest.
