She was wearing a deep blue dress, her hair was in a flowing bun, she wore a jade hairpin, and had rouge on her face. She looked gentle, dignified and very noble.

"An? Why are you here?" Zhang glared at An Qingqian and spoke with dissatisfaction.

I didn’t see the person I wanted to see, but instead saw the person I least wanted to see.

"Hello, old lady." An Qingqian bowed casually, then walked aside and sat down.

"Looking at the old lady, it seems that she doesn't want to see me?" An Qingqian touched the white jade bracelet on her wrist.

This was one of her dowry, which had been snatched away by the old lady before. She then exchanged it for meat and food, and it finally returned to An Qingqian's hands.

Of course Zhang noticed An Qingqian's obvious action.

Looking at the white jade bracelet, Zhang suddenly became angry. She knew very well that An Qingqian was deliberately showing off in front of her.

"I came here today to look for the Marquis. Why haven't I seen the Marquis yet at this time? Could it be that he hasn't come to pay his respects to the old lady yet?" An Qingqian looked around the main hall and asked knowingly.

"You, huh, Xian'er is exhausted from the journey, you should have a good rest. It won't matter if you take a break later. Changshou Hall is right here, can you still run away?"

Zhang naturally knew that An Qingqian did it on purpose. Except for Changshou Hall, almost everyone outside was An Qingqian's people. How could she not know that Xue Wanxian had not come to pay his respects to her yet, and yet she deliberately said such sarcastic words here.

Although Zhang was also extremely unhappy, she did not want An Qingqian to make a fool of herself, so she stubbornly defended Xue Wanxian.

"Then the Marquis should have paid his respects to the old lady last night. Since they have already met, it is indeed okay to come later in the morning." An Qingqian nodded gently, deliberately stabbing her heart.

Zhang became even angrier when she heard this. She knew that An Qingqian did it on purpose, but she couldn't say anything to refute her.

At this time, Bo Yun leaned over and said to An Qingqian, "I heard from the servants in the mansion that the Marquis did not come to see the old lady last night."

"Impossible. The Marquis is such a filial man. He hasn't been home for three years. Now that he has finally returned, how could he not come to see his mother first?"

An Qingqian loudly refuted Bo Yun, and from her words it seemed as if she knew how filial Xue Wanxian was.

"I sent the Marquis back to Mingde Courtyard yesterday. I heard him say with my own ears that he would come to Changshou Hall after washing up. How could he not come?"

When Zhang heard this, she couldn't help but believe it a little more. She knew very well what kind of person her son was.

Although An's temperament has changed drastically, he would not lie to himself at this time.

Otherwise, as soon as Xian'er comes over, the lie will be exposed.

He clearly said he would come, so why didn't he come?

Moreover, it is already 9:00 p.m. this morning and there is still no sign of anyone.

It must be that vixen who seduced Xian'er and prevented her from coming to see her.

The more Zhang thought about it, the angrier she became. Her brows were furrowed tightly together, and her hands unconsciously clenched the chair. Anger was obvious on her face.

Nanny Chen didn't say anything, but she believed An Qingqian's words a little and blamed Liu Yiyi in her heart.

Seeing the two people's obviously unhappy faces, An Qingqian lowered her head and used a handkerchief to cover the upturned corners of her mouth.

An Qingqian sat here for almost half an hour before Xue Wanxian and Liu Yiyi finally arrived.

By this time, the anger of Zhang and Nanny Chen had almost reached its peak.

"Son greets mother." When Xue Wanxian saw Zhang, he quickly lifted his robe and knelt down, kowtowed three times respectfully to Zhang.

"It's been three years since we last met. Is mother doing well?"

"Xian'er, get up quickly, get up quickly and let mother see, have you lost weight?" As soon as Zhang saw her son, most of her anger disappeared immediately.

Xue Wanxian stood up and looked at Zhang with a smile.

Liu Yiyi was standing nearby. Seeing the mother and son looking very affectionate towards each other, and Xue Wanxian not mentioning her at all, she quickly and secretly pulled his sleeve.

"My Lord." Liu Yiyi spoke in a tender voice.

"Oh, by the way, mother, this is Yi Yi. During the time I was at the border, it was Yi Yi who took care of me. Moreover, Yi Yi is pregnant now, so my son brought her back."

Speaking of Liu Yiyi, Xue Wanxian's expression softened a lot. He turned to look at Liu Yiyi and said, "Yiyi, come and meet your mother."

"Yi Yi greets mother." Liu Yi Yi was pregnant and it was not convenient for her to kneel down, so she just bowed perfunctorily, which looked a bit out of place.

Xue Wanxian held Liu Yiyi attentively, fearing that she would fall accidentally.

Zhang looked Liu Yiyi up and down. Liu Yiyi was wearing a pink dress. Her face was delicate and pretty, and her eyes were narrow. Although she was pregnant, her waist was very slender. When she looked up at people, she exuded a bit of charm.

Zhang glanced at him casually and felt very disdainful, but because her son was still here, she didn't say anything directly.

I just said indifferently, "Well, she is a lovely one."

"Xian'er, sit down first." Zhang waved her hand, and Nanny Chen beside her quickly asked the maid to help Xue Wanxian help Liu Yiyi sit down.

An Qingqian watched the scene calmly. She had just carefully observed Zhang's expression.

When he saw his son, he really couldn't hide his happiness. However, when he saw Liu Yiyi, there was something wrong on his face.

I can’t say whether I was happy or excited.

This is a bit strange. Logically, Liu Yiyi should be happy that she is pregnant with her grandson. Why is she unhappy?

"Why are you here?" Xue Wanxian helped Liu Yiyi sit down, and then he found that An Qingqian was also sitting here. He spoke in surprise.

"Oh." An Qingqian couldn't help rolling her eyes. She had been sitting here for a long time, and he just noticed it. She didn't know if it was intentional.

"The Marquis has returned, so I don't need to worship Buddha anymore, so I came to pay my respects to the old lady. I didn't expect that when I arrived, the Marquis hadn't come yet."

"I wonder how Miss Liu rested last night? I have already asked people to clean up and prepare Furong Courtyard, but it will still take some time."

An Qingqian looked at Liu Yiyi with a smile, and her eyes lingered on her bulging belly for a moment.

Before she died in her previous life, Liu Yiyi gave birth to a child and came to show off in front of him. She told him a shocking news: the child in her belly was not Xue Wanxian's, but another man's.

Noticing An Qingqian's gaze, Liu Yiyi subconsciously placed her hand on her lower abdomen, fearing that An Qingqian would harm the baby in her belly.

"Thank you for your concern, ma'am. I had a good rest." Liu Yiyi replied with a little caution.

"That's good." An Qingqian nodded and retracted her gaze.
