He favored his concubine and I cut off my wealth. Everyone in the mansion was in a panic.

Shen Qing was stunned for a long time, which means...

Lu Yan half embraced Shen Qing in his arms, and his voice was full of affection, "Jiaojiao, the fireworks in the whole city tonight are all blooming for you."

When they were in Yuncheng before, Shen Qing and Lu Yan had agreed to watch the fireworks together on the tower of Yuncheng on New Year's Day.

However, on New Year's Day that year, not only did Mr. Yun not wait for his beloved daughter, but Lu Yan also failed to wait for the moonlight in his heart.

Now this is to make up for the regrets of the past.

Shen Qing's eyes were slightly red, and her eyes were sparkling. She never thought that Lu Yan would remember the past so clearly.

Lu Yan lowered his head and kissed her forehead, and whispered her name: "Jiaojiao."

Shen Qing responded softly: "I'm here."

...

Beside Luoquan Street, Shen Shuyu looked at the bright fireworks in front of her, and her thoughts began to wander involuntarily.

The customs of the people in Da Chu are quite open, and women can go out at night, but only before the midnight curfew.

Just now, Shen Shuyu heard the discussion in the crowd, saying that this fireworks event was specially prepared by the third son of the Meng family for his sweetheart, just to celebrate her birthday.

Thinking of this, Shen Shuyu's eyes flashed coldly. Today is also Shen Qing's birthday, but the people of the Mu family are so perfunctory...

"Miss Shen?"

Just then, a warm male voice sounded behind her, pulling Shen Shuyu's thoughts back suddenly.

Shen Shuyu turned around and saw a man in a deep blue robe, looking at him with gentle eyebrows.

Shen Shuyu was startled, obviously he didn't expect to meet Chu Lingxi here.

Chu Lingxi, the third prince of Da Chu, is also the cousin of Gu Tingshuang who had a conflict with Shen Shuyu before, or...Shen Shuyu's former yearning in his heart.

Seeing Shen Shuyu's face clearly, Chu Lingxi smiled and walked towards Shen Shuyu.

As the distance between the two of them got closer and closer, Shen Shuyu pursed her lips subconsciously. If it wasn't against the rules to leave now, Shen Shuyu would have turned around and left without hesitation.

"From a distance, I saw that she looked like Miss Shen. I didn't expect that she was really her."

Chu Lingxi smiled, and his whole body exuded an intoxicating tenderness from the inside out.

However, Shen Shuyu just called "Third Prince" in a stiff tone and stopped talking.

Chu Lingxi frowned slightly and explained: "I apologized to you on behalf of Tingshuang last time. The Queen has also punished Tingshuang. Please don't mind it, Miss Shen."

Shen Shuyu's face was expressionless, "The Third Prince is worrying too much."

Seeing that Shen Shuyu always looked like he was keeping people at a distance, Chu Lingxi moved closer. Shen Shuyu subconsciously stepped back, but Chu Lingxi stretched out his arm to block her way back, "Yuyu, do you have to treat me like this?"

Hearing Chu Lingxi's intimate address, Shen Shuyu's face changed immediately, "Your Highness has crossed the line."

After saying that, Gan Zuo brushed away Chu Lingxi's arm that was blocking her way and left quickly with the maid.

Looking at Shen Shuyu's gradually receding back, Chu Lingxi's eyes were filled with an indissoluble gloom, and then he murmured: "Because of a lie, are we going to erase everything we once knew? How can you bear it?"

...

At the beginning of the Si hour, the fireworks outside the window went out, and the night returned to silence.

Lu Yan sent a message to Meng Guanlan, asking him to stabilize the guests in each box, and then watched Shen Qing walk towards the stairs.

Looking at Shen Qing's slender back, Lu Yan's eyes became deeper.

After Shen Qing successfully left Linjiang Building, people started to move in the second-floor box again.

Lu Yan had lost interest, picked up the cat that was still sleeping in the corner, jumped down from the window, and disappeared in the dark in the blink of an eye.

When Lu Yan returned to Jing'an Palace, he saw the light in the study was on, his face slightly stiff, and then strode towards the study.

When he opened the door, he saw Mo Wuchen sitting on a chair with a strange look on his face, admiring the portrait on the wall.

It was the one he had brought back from Shen Qing before.

Mo Wuchen was the son of the Lingnan Mo family, the designated next heir, and the nephew of Princess Jing'an Mo.

Seeing Lu Yan, Mo Wuchen finally found a way to vent his doubts, "Cousin, why didn't I know you were so narcissistic before, and you actually hung your portrait in a place where you can see it when you look up. Are you going to appreciate your beauty when you are tired of reading?"

Lu Yan was too lazy to pay attention to him, and sat down on the soft couch beside him with the cat in his arms.

Because he had just been held by Shen Qing for a long time, Lu Yan could still vaguely feel the faint scent of Shen Qing on the cat.

Mo Wuchen stood up and walked to Lu Yan, wondering, "No, you took a lot of trouble to tame this cat, why did you bring it back again? Didn't you say you were giving it to the girl?"

Hearing Mo Wuchen mention this, Lu Yan felt a little unhappy.

Why did he bring the cat back? Of course, it was because he needed to find a suitable opportunity to send it over. After all, his current identity was only that of a shady "mistress".

"If you keep talking, I'll send you back to Lingnan tomorrow."

Mo Wuchen: "..."

No, what did he say!

But because he was living under someone else's roof, Mo Wuchen chose to remain silent.

However, after a while of silence, he still couldn't help but raised his hand and pointed at the three scratches on his left face that had not yet healed completely, accusing: "Can you have a little conscience? In order to tame this thing for you, I almost disfigured myself. Don't think that you are the only one who looks good. This face of mine has also fascinated thousands of girls in Lingnan!"

Lu Yan raised his head, and his face finally showed some humanity, "Let Li Ze find someone for you tomorrow."

Hearing this, a light suddenly rose in Mo Wuchen's eyes. He had spent so much effort, wasn't it just for Lu Yan's words!

The accusation on his face disappeared instantly, and turned into a strong flattery, "I know that cousin, you are the best person. Not only does you have a good face, but you are also generous. Such an excellent man deserves to be able to hold the beauty."

After saying this, he added: "I wish cousin and future sister-in-law to get married soon. I will go to Li Ze to talk first."

It was not easy to wait for Lu Yan to let go. He said that he could not wait until tomorrow.

Hearing the pleasant title of "future sister-in-law", Lu Yan's face rarely raised a smile, and the look in his eyes when looking at Mo Wuchen was also much gentler, "Go."

Mo Wuchen was only terrified, and then he quickly left the study room as if he was escaping.

When the room was quiet again, Lu Yan put the cat down and walked towards the cabinet in the corner.

The cabinet was made of precious red sandalwood, one person tall, with exquisite patterns carved on the four corners and a moon carved in the center.

Lu Yan took off the half-moon jade pendant from his waist and pressed it into the groove on the side of the cabinet. A subtle hissing sound was heard, and a secret door popped out. Inside was a small silver key.

The cabinet had six layers in total, and the top five layers were filled with various small things, each of which was packed in a brocade box and arranged in order. It was obvious that a lot of thought was put into it.

On the bottom layer were several deeds from unknown places and a golden token, which were scattered alone in the grid, as if no one had cared about them for a long time.

Lu Yan took out a pearl that shone with a bright luster from his bosom, carefully put it into the brocade box, looked around at all the things, and then closed the cabinet door with reluctance.

The moment the cabinet door closed, a breeze blew off a land deed that was already on the edge of the bottom floor. It was clearly written with the words "Jing'an Prince's Mansion", and the bright red official seal was particularly eye-catching.

There was no doubt that it was the land deed of Jing'an Prince's Mansion.

Lu Yan picked up the land deed, threw it back to the bottom floor, and then locked the cabinet door.
