It's all ruined, who cares about the chastity arch

Watching the lanterns in Lan City turned out to be her unfulfilled wish.

Now, Su Wanyu feels sincerely gratified to be able to help her realize her dream.

Yun Yi was so happy after receiving the permission that she could not express it in words: "Thank you, Princess!"

Seeing Yun Yi smiling like an innocent child, Siqi was also infected and the corners of her mouth rose involuntarily.

Although she herself was not a fan of crowded crowds, she decided to go along for Yunyi's safety.

At this moment, the little girl who was taking a nap on the table suddenly jumped up, jumped lightly from the table, and let out a long "meow~".

It walked slowly towards Yunyi, rubbed her ankles, and called out again in a tender voice: "Meow~".

Yun Yi bent down and picked up Xiao Tuan'er, gently rubbing its furry little head, then turned to Su Wanyu and suggested, "Princess, why don't you let Xiao Tuan'er go too? I remember the master once mentioned that Xiao Tuan'er likes the bluefish from Lanshi Street the most. I'll go and satisfy its craving."

Su Wanyu nodded, with a smile in her eyes: "Okay, this way I can have some peace and quiet for a while."

Yun Yi became even happier after hearing this, and his smile almost narrowed his eyes into a line.

Seeing her happiness, Su Wanyu's heart was also filled with joy.

After Yunyi left with Xiaotuan'er in her arms, she gave Siqi an instruction: "Yunyi is out this time, let her enjoy herself to the fullest."

Siqi agreed with a smile: "Yes, Princess."

Then, Su Wanyu added: "When you go to Lanshi Street, take a look at the store opened by our Su family there."

Lanshi Street was bustling with people. In addition to running a cloth shop, the Su family also ran a rouge shop and a jewelry store, and their business was quite prosperous.

She has been trapped in my house for the past few years, and all household affairs are managed by her father alone.

He liked to travel around, and his business path was vast and boundless, so it was inevitable that he neglected management in some aspects.

The Su family has deep roots and a large scale, so it is naturally difficult to avoid being eroded by internal pests.

As a princess, Su Wanyu did not intend to ignore her family's foundation because of her status. Instead, she secretly vowed to push the Su family's business to a higher peak. Even if it meant becoming the richest family on this continent, what was wrong with that?

The world is vast. In addition to the great reputation of the Great Qi Kingdom, there are also many other forces such as the Jiang Kingdom and the Chen Kingdom that are isolated in a corner.

In front of these great powers, even a family like the Su family is nothing more than a speck of dust in the vast universe.

Siqi was clear in her mind and knew Su Wanyu's aspirations. She bowed respectfully and said, "I understand, Miss."

Su Wanyu waved her hand to signal her to leave, walked into the room alone, slowly opened the drawer, and took out a heavy key.

This is the key to her new home given by Gu Linjun, which symbolizes a brand new beginning...

She has not yet had the opportunity to set foot in the world that belongs to her. In her dreams, this world is always so vast and mysterious, as if every inch of land radiates the light of freedom and hope.

She held the cold yet heavy key tightly in her palm. Although it was small, it was like holding a priceless treasure, carrying her infinite longing and desire for the future.

The next day, before the first ray of sunshine in the early morning completely dispelled the chill of the night, the news that Madam Zheng was sold to Zi Yan Pavilion came like a sudden cold wind, quietly blowing into my residence and reaching Zheng Chengyuan's heart.

He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, running around in circles, his eyes filled with anxiety and helplessness. The sweat on his forehead was crystal clear in the morning light, reflecting his inner torment.

Seeing this, Pei offered her own suggestion. Her voice was gentle but firm. She suggested spending money to redeem Madam Zheng.

However, Zheng Chengyuan shook his head and refused. His refusal was not out of stinginess, but because of mixed feelings.

Firstly, he felt heartbroken at the thought of his grandmother going to such a romantic place, and he found it hard to accept the traditional pride and dignity. Secondly, he was also extremely clear-headed and knew who was the manipulator behind all this - the high and mighty princess.

If he insisted on bringing the old lady back, it would undoubtedly be an open challenge to the princess's authority, and he could not bear the consequences.

The lesson he learned last time due to his impulsiveness still felt like a thorn in his side, making him dare not make any rash moves again.

Seeing his firm attitude, Pei pursed her lips, a complex emotion flashed across her brows, and in the end she said nothing more, but sighed softly and said, "Well, after all, he is your elder."

There was both understanding and helplessness in his tone.

As if to ease the depressing atmosphere, Zheng Chengyuan hugged Pei with a playful smile, his actions seemed a bit childish.

Soon, he took two cents from Pei's arms. The money was hidden secretly, but it was the private money that Pei secretly kept aside because of her frugality to deal with emergencies.

This action made the originally calm atmosphere instantly tense.

Pei was so angry that her face turned red, she couldn't speak clearly, and there were tears of grievance in her eyes.

She didn't expect that her husband, who usually seemed steady, would behave so childishly and recklessly at the critical moment.

It turned out that Zheng Chengyuan had borrowed money from an old classmate whom he hadn't seen for many years a few days ago. Although he borrowed some emergency funds, he inadvertently got involved in the bad habit of gambling.

The temptation of gambling entangled him like a poisonous snake, leaving him no peace for a moment.

Look, the money he had just "borrowed" from Pei, in the blink of an eye, driven by the uncontrollable desire in his heart, flowed into the abyss of the casino.

Pei leaned against the wall, gently wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, her heart filled with bitterness.

"I knew that classmate had bad intentions! Everyone else wanted to avoid our Zheng family like the plague, but he was the only one willing to lend money?"

Her words were full of irony and revealed the helplessness of the cold world.

In this capital city where power is supreme, the decline of the Zheng family has caused everyone to choose to stay away, so how could anyone really lend a helping hand?

The so-called helpful old classmate naturally had his own purpose behind this. He simply wanted to curry favor with the power behind the scenes in this way because of the delicate relationship between the Zheng family and the Su family.

As the night deepened, the stars dotted the inky black sky. The two beauties, Yunyi and Siqi, changed into simple yet elegant casual clothes and headed towards the brightly lit Lanshi Street early in the morning.

On Lanshi Street, all kinds of lanterns decorate the long street like a dream. In the bright lights, every smiling face is wrapped tenderly. The little yellow light seems to light up half of the sky, adding a bit of warmth and romance to the night.

The streets were crowded with people, and men, women, old and young were all dressed up beautifully. They came in groups or in pairs to share this rare festive atmosphere.

Yunyi and Siqi moved nimbly among the crowd, but were soon submerged by the surging crowd and became a drop of water in this ocean of joy.

Not far away, in front of a beautifully decorated lantern shop, a man in dark blue clothes, holding a folding fan and wearing a white cloud-patterned hair accessory, looked very elegant.
