"Grandpa, brother, where is Yaoyao?"

Helian Qing finally waited for them to come back. She saw their figures jogging in the distance, but Mu Yao was nowhere to be seen.

"You are disrespectful. You should call me sister-in-law." Helian Fu taught her sternly.

This granddaughter is the apple of his eye, a piece of his eye that he cannot take away.

Emperor Qingyuan intends to match Helian Qing and Crown Prince Ye Qinghan, but the two have not made any progress so far. If the Helian family can produce a queen, it will no longer be just a wealthy family, and its significance is self-evident.

Now his eldest son Helian Zhongzheng has taken a fancy to Xu Xiang’s second son Xu Licheng.

The reputation of Shangjing Qinglan Gongzi spread throughout Dayun. He used to be an assistant teacher in the Imperial Academy. Now that his leg injury has healed, he has gone to work in the Ministry of Rites.

The Xu family is a royal family, so it is a good marriage.

There is also Liu Huifeng, the owner of the No. 1 Manor in the World. I heard that he is very attentive to Youyou. Helian Yun mentioned it to him many times. If he could marry into the No. 1 Manor in the World, it would be a good match.

However, Helian Fu prefers Crown Prince Ye Qinghan more, so he has not yet agreed to Helian Qing's marriage.

"Grandpa, Yaoyao is my best friend, she won't mind for sure. Calling her sister-in-law is not as intimate as calling her Yaoyao, don't you think?" Helian Qing said coquettishly while holding Helian Fu's arm.

"That won't work either. Etiquette cannot be abolished." Helian Yun's sharp eyes swept towards her, frightening Helian Qing so much that she kept saying yes. Who made her feel insecure in front of Helian Yun?

"Okay, okay, look how scared you are making Yoyo!" Helian Fu glanced at Helian Yun with dissatisfaction.

Helian Qing is the only girl among the grandchildren of the Helian family. She usually gets whatever she wants. Helian Yun is the only one in the family who is willing to be mean to her.

"Grandpa, I heard that Yaoyao got married again. Is it true?" Helian Qing asked her grandfather with a smile.

If I don't mention this, I will almost forget the "flower of Gaoling" that my granddaughter has admired for many years. Helian Fu took Helian Qing's little hand and said seriously: "Yoyo, you can't have any more thoughts about Xie Ci. Yaoyao has already married him. You can consider His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Ye Qinghan is young and promising, with both talent and virtue, and handsome appearance. More importantly, he is the crown prince of Dayun..."

Helian Qing's eyes were empty, and her ears were filled with her grandfather's words "Yaoyao has married Xie Ci as his wife."

She clenched her teeth tightly and let tears as big as beans fall down like a broken string. The sourness in her heart surged up into her throat, suffocating her.

Helian Yun sighed softly: "Oh, Xie Ci is not suitable for you. Even if Yaoyao hadn't married Xie Ci, he wouldn't be with you." Only Mu Yao can pull this high-ranking flower of the North Sea down from the altar and turn him into a soft and gentle woman.

"Brother! I have liked Xie Ci for a long time! Yaoyao obviously knows that I like Xie Ci!" Helian Qing pulled Helian Yun's arm with a look of disbelief.

Helian Yun didn't have a good impression of Xie Ci. If it weren't for him, Mu Yao wouldn't have married Wei Wushang and the King of Southern Xinjiang. He immediately said with a frown, "Your sister-in-law didn't fancy him at all. It was Xie Ci who took advantage of your sister-in-law's temporary stay at the Imperial Master's residence and became interested in him. Do you understand?"

It was because I was injured and slowed down a step, allowing Xie Ci to get the chance to be with Chanjuan.

Helian Fu felt sorry for his granddaughter who was stuck in a dead end, but he didn't know how to comfort her.

The best way to heal a broken heart is time and finding the right person again.

In his opinion, Yoyo is still young. Life is a long journey, and he will surely meet more and better men.

"It's getting late, go check if Yaoyao is ready." Helian Fu urged. It's a rare occasion to attend a banquet at Dan Pavilion, so it's better to be polite than to be rude.

The carriage passed by "Songgu Garden", and Mu Yao resisted the urge to stay.

When she left the Pill Pavilion, she gave the Nine-turn Longevity Pill to Xiao Qianxue, hoping to exchange the share of the pill's sale for a Rejuvenation Pill. Unexpectedly, Xiao Qianxue gave all three pills in the furnace to Mu Yao as a gift for joining the Pavilion.

Today is the third day since Xie Yu took the Shengji Pill, and it is also the last day for the pill to completely integrate with his body. Mu Yao thought about finding a chance to leave the dinner party early and go see Xie Yu and Wu Shang.

Zuixiaolou - the largest and most luxurious restaurant in Lanling County, is famous for its delicious food. Since its opening, it has been crowded with guests every day.

The building is five stories high, and all the rooms facing the street from bottom to top are brightly lit with candles, as bright as day.

Mu Yao and the others could hear the drunken diners talking loudly before they even entered the restaurant.

"It's so lively!" Mu Yao exclaimed. The scene was no less lively than her Shuiyunjian.

Thinking of Shuiyunjian, she wondered how Handan and Furong were doing. She asked Manager Sun to take full care of them and train them from the grassroots level, hoping that they could adapt as soon as possible.

Helian Yun smiled and said, "Zuixiaolou is the tallest, largest and best restaurant in this area. Their "Twelve Fresh and Fragrant Eight Treasure Duck" is very famous. They select fresh and tender fat ducks, stuff eight kinds of delicacies into the duck's stomach, and then use a soup base made from twelve kinds of medicinal herbs to boil it. Only thirty ducks are sold every day, and they are very popular. With the prestige of Dan Pavilion, I think this famous dish should be served for dinner tonight."

Helian Yun's introduction to this delicacy whetted Mu Yao's appetite, and she couldn't help but look forward to it.

Shuiyunjian’s dishes need to be constantly improved and polished, and it is essential to learn from peers and seek experience.

The "Yufeng Pavilion" was crowded with people. The nearly 500-foot-long elegant pavilion was adjacent to the main street. The night view of half of Lanling County was like a colorful painting, with a broad and beautiful view.

"Old Patriarch Helian, Young Master Helian, Elder Mu." When Xiao Qianxue saw Mu Yao's figure, her eyes flashed suddenly, and the corners of her mouth curled up as she walked up to them.

Mu Yao noticed that he had changed his clothes.

He was wrapped in a stunning outfit of "Phoenix Fire", which perfectly outlined his perfect curves that had not been revealed before.

The rise and fall of the shoulders is like the smooth flow of mountains. The graceful lines extend all the way to the waist, which is lean and well-proportioned, and contains hidden strength.

The two long legs stride forward, appearing straighter, more powerful, and as upright as a pine tree.

Mu Yao was stunned by his Phoenix Fire body. She just thought he was extravagant, very extravagant, even more extravagant than her!

Hearing the voice, the ten elders stepped forward and greeted them one after another.

The elders are all ethereal and otherworldly, which makes people feel infinitely convinced. No wonder Dan Pavilion is highly regarded by everyone in Yunqi.

Their eyes were all focused on Mu Yao, with deep curiosity in their eyes.

"Elder Mu, you are still reluctant to take off the veil!" Shi Nanchen joked. He had been bragging about Mu Yao's fairy-like appearance in front of all his old friends.

Mu Yao was amused by Shi Nanchen and showed her true face openly.

She half-closed her eyelids, once again enduring the scorching heat coming from all directions.

Although she had been beautiful since she was a child and had experienced countless gazes, she still felt embarrassed.

My scalp felt numb and tight, and I crossed my fingers tightly under my sleeves, hoping that this embarrassing moment would pass quickly.

Dozens of breaths passed and no one said a word. The only sound that passed by their ears was the intermittent gasping sound.

Mu Yao wore a light green gauze dress for the banquet, which was fresh, elegant, charming and attractive. Her naturally curly hair was tied into a flower basket bun, which set off her silky and smooth neck to make it look slender and beautiful.

Xiao Qianxue fiddled with the emerald beads on her wrist, rolling them one by one, staring indifferently at the intriguing whiteness. The dark fire in her eyes kept bursting out, but she suppressed it with her great endurance, over and over again.

"Okay, look at how you guys scared my granddaughter-in-law. She won't be able to eat in a while." Helian Fu broke the silence and said with a teasing smile.

A bunch of old guys who are about to die are still staring at beauties like young men. They have no tolerance and no concentration!

In contrast, Xiao Qianxue remained calm and composed, much more composed and composed than the other gray-haired men.

Helian Fu looked at the comparison between them, and his gaze towards Xiao Qianxue deepened a little.

Helian Yun was completely speechless, having expected this situation. Facing a group of respected elders, he reluctantly sipped the fragrant tea.

The banquet started with toasts, and after three rounds, the atmosphere became lively.

Most of them praised Helian Fu for finding a good granddaughter-in-law and Helian Yun for finding a good wife.

Mu Yao drank all the toasts, and many people were surprised at her drinking capacity.

Du Kunlun was a wine lover. It was rare to see someone who could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, which made him very happy.

At first he was worried that Mu Yao couldn't drink much, so he offered her a glass just for the sake of courtesy. Unexpectedly, the little girl drank it all in one gulp, without blushing or panting, and was as steady as a rock.

Seeing that she remained calm after drinking more than a dozen cups, Du Kunlun's eyes showed unprecedented enthusiasm, and he pulled her to raise her glass and start drinking.

Mu Yao hadn't drunk so much in a long time. Her drinking capacity was developed when she was studying abroad. At that time, she had a party with several senior brothers and sisters, and drank all kinds of white, red, yellow, strong and low alcohol.

Helian Fu and Helian Yun were surprised at Mu Yao's drinking capacity. Especially Helian Yun, who had a completely new understanding of his wife today. He counted the cups one by one, and the more he counted, the more surprised he became.

Xiao Douxue watched her and Du Kunlun drinking with a burning gaze. When she made Du Kunlun pass out drunk, Xiao Douxue's expression finally cracked as she looked at the piles of empty pots on the table and under the table.

"Elder Mu, you have a good alcohol tolerance!" Xiao Douxue praised with a smile.

Mu Yao was a little drunk at the moment, but she didn't show it on her face.

Her eyes, as bright as stars, became blurred. She endured the trance and gradually focused her gaze on Xiao Douxue's face. She opened her red lips and exhaled lightly. There was an indescribable charm between her breaths.

The cold wind from the window brushed across her cheek. Mu Yao tilted her head slightly to one side comfortably, her eyes becoming more seductive, almost drawing out the wildness in Xiao Douxue's eyes.

Xiao Douxue shifted his gaze to the window, raised his glass to the night sky and drank, with a determined smile on his face.
