It's really funny that they are frail and sickly, but they come out to watch the lantern festival alone.

Her gaze moved from Xie Xun to Fang Yirou, and her pupils fluttered when she saw the hairpin on Fang Yirou's head.

It’s the one in Xie Xun’s bag.

She thought it was given to her.

At this moment, she had to face her own self-conceit.

How could he do this to her!

She could swallow all the grievances given to her by the Xie family, except Xie Xun.

Fang Yirou's appearance was like a fuse, causing Meng Nianrui to burst out with the grievances she had suffered all day.

Unable to hold back her emotions, she hid in the alley and broke down crying.

At the same time, Xie Xun on the bridge suddenly turned around, looked at the figure that flashed by, and frowned.

Seeing that he was absent-minded, Fang Yirou turned around and tugged at his sleeve, saying in a tender voice, "Brother Chongwen, what's wrong with you?"

Xie Xun's eyes were gentle. Seeing Fang Yirou's pale face, he said worriedly, "It's windy here. Why don't we go back earlier?"

Fang Yirou looked reluctant: "It's okay. I haven't hung out with you like this for a long time. I feel like I'm back to my childhood."

Xie Xun comforted him, "There will be plenty of time in the future."

Fang Yirou nodded obediently. It was at this moment that Xie Xun saw the hairpin on her head and suddenly asked, "This hairpin?"

Fang Yirou touched her hair, raised her chin, smiled shyly, and said, "Didn't you ask your aunt to send it over? Does it look good?"

This was bought by Xie Xun for Meng Nianrui, but the item has already been given to Fang Yirou, and she likes it, so there is no reason for him to take it back.

At worst, I can just buy one for Meng Nianrui another day.

Thinking of this, Xie Xun said nothing more, only said calmly: "It looks good, it suits you very well."

the other side.

Seeing Meng Nianrui's emotional breakdown, Xie Shuyao rubbed her hands awkwardly.

She has never been able to resist beautiful women and handsome men. Seeing the beauty crying, she felt sympathy and opened her arms to her, asking weakly, "Do you need a hug?"

Meng Nianrui glanced at her through her fingers and said with a sob, "Even you are laughing at me, right?"

After saying that, she threw herself into Xie Shuyao's arms and said heartbreakingly, "Woo woo, there are no good people in your Xie family."

After Meng Nianrui had cried enough, Xie Shuyao symbolically comforted her, "Being angry is harmful to your health. It's not worth it for a man. You are beautiful and young, and you have the support of the Duke's Mansion. Even if you divorce, you can find another young talent."

Hearing the word "divorce", Meng Nianrui pursed her lips, "But I can't bear to do it. I've liked him since the first time I saw him. Marrying him is my lifelong wish, and I think my husband has feelings for me, too. It's just that my mother-in-law thinks that my family is declining, and she looks down on me, so..."

Having said this, she seemed to feel something was wrong, and immediately fell silent, looking at Xie Shuyao cautiously.

Xie Shuyao knew what she was worried about, and immediately waved her hand and said, "She doesn't even care whether I'm dead or alive, do you think I would still treat her as my own mother?"

While Xie Shuyao was lamenting that she was hopeless for love, she was also thinking about the affairs of the Duke's Mansion.

She could have ignored Meng Nianrui's affairs, but as a woman, in the spirit of humanitarianism, she still said something meaningful:

"You think he likes you, but how could a man who likes you let his family bully you? Is it possible that his family's attitude also represents his character?"

Meng Nianrui was stunned for a while after hearing this, but she didn't dare to think deeply, so she quickly changed the subject and said, "Let's go to the Duke's Mansion."

After the two arrived at the Duke's Mansion, they went directly to the back door as they didn't want to make their plans known to everyone.

But before I got closer, I saw a group of people acting stealthily, transporting things to the carriage outside.

Jia Xuerui came out and gave orders like the owner of the mansion, "Hurry up! Tonight is the last day of the Saint's Birthday Festival. We must move everything."

Meng Nianrui looked at the large boxes, her pupils trembled, "That's my mother's dowry, they are moving it to the warehouse."

Meng Nianrui was about to step forward, but was stopped by Xie Shuyao. With her previous experience of dealing with Cao Gui, she knew that she must have some means to deal with such a person.

"There are only two of us. How can we confront them head-on? And if they just deny it, where are we going to find the things they took away?"

Meng Nianrui was so angry, "I said that Jia Xuerui was unreliable. Grandmother must have felt that the mansion was in need of a male helper, so she asked him to come. What should I do now?"

Seeing that the other party was about to finish their work, Xie Shuyao pulled Meng Nianrui onto a carriage and said, "Let's follow them and see where they are going."
