At noon the next day, Yun Ran moved into the mansion with his luggage.

From that day on, the two of them stayed in different rooms every day thinking of various games that they could play.

Or it could be a new way to play Leaf Cards, or arranging flowers in the greenhouse next door, hybridizing new varieties, or teasing the two little meat balls.

As the days passed, Xiyu's uneasy heart finally settled down. The two little ginseng spirits never suddenly turned into strange appearances again.

On the first day of March, Xiyu finally completed her two-month journey indoors.

She couldn't wait to ask Yun Ran to go out and play together.

The weather has warmed up, but the wind is still chilly. Xiyu changed into a thin winter shirt and a cloak of the same color on the outside.

She had a physique that could only grow the baby but not gain weight, but after two months of rest, her figure had already returned to normal, and was even slightly better than before, more graceful and charming.

After dressing up, she no longer looks like the mother of two children.

The window in the inner room was pried open a crack for the first time in a long time, which just happened to form a complete air flow route with the window in the outer room.

The breeze blew on her body, and her skirt fluttered lightly, like a blooming lotus supporting an elf in the forest, but more like a fairy descending from heaven, making people dare not get involved in the slightest.

"Wow--"

As soon as Yun Ran entered the room, he sighed and hugged her.

"I have never seen a woman like Fourth Sister-in-law who is like a fallen immortal! If Fourth Sister-in-law is ranked second in the capital, there will definitely be no one who can bear the title of first!"

"You're teasing me again. If we talk about beauty, it's naturally the beautiful and charming Princess Jingxian."

Xiyu lowered her eyes to look at her, raised her hand and gently touched the tip of her nose.

The height difference in her sight suddenly made her realize that she seemed to have grown taller.

Before, she was about the same height as Yun Ran, but now she was half a head taller than him.

Now that you are married and have children, can you still grow taller?

She turned her head to look at Chunshi behind her, "Do you think I am much taller than before?"

Hearing this, Chun Shi called Xia Ying and the others over, and after carefully comparing the height differences between them, he nodded affirmatively, "Yes, they are taller. Some of the clothes are too short. We need to go through them and change them into some new spring clothes."

After confirming the good news that he had grown taller, Xiyu felt very happy.

After all the things needed to be prepared before going out were packed, the wet nurses carried the two little kids into the house.

During the day, except for sleeping, they basically stay together with Xiyu.

And I won’t be able to see them for several hours today, so I have to calm them down.

Xiyu hugged them one by one, kissing their soft and round little faces affectionately and tenderly.

Yun Ran followed her, took the child from her hands with great anticipation, and touched the sweet and soft little baby again.

"Xiao Lingjiao, auntie is going back to the palace today. I don't know when I can hug you next time. Oh my, so cute. Are you smiling to comfort auntie?"

She clung to Ling Jiao reluctantly, and when she caught a glimpse of the baby's grinning face from the corner of her eye, her heart almost melted, and her voice turned into a rare clip-like sound.

Seeing her touching her hands on the left and her feet on the right, Xiyu couldn't help but find it a little funny.

"We will see them soon. They will hold a banquet in the mansion when they are 100 days old. You will be invited to come then."

"But there are still more than thirty days, almost forty days."

Yun Ran reluctantly let go of the two little glutinous rice balls and walked out of the house, looking back every few steps.

The two men put on their veiled hats and got into the carriage that had been waiting at the door.

She immediately changed the subject, her pretty eyebrows curved downwards, "Fourth sister-in-law, where are we going to play today?"

Xi Yu secretly sighed that her emotions came and went quickly, and slowly uttered two words, "Keep it a secret!"

Yun Ran said seriously that she was looking forward to it.

After all, ever since the engagement, she hasn't been able to travel freely like before for a long time. She spends all day in the palace either learning etiquette, riding and archery, or some survival skills.

Xiyu first took her to several famous jewelry shops to see if there were any new and beautiful jewelry.

When the two were tired from shopping, they went straight to Taotie Pavilion.

Xiyu had someone reserve a seat in Taotie Pavilion long ago. Because of the special relationship with Jingtai, their private room had the best location.

Not only can you hear the storytelling clearly, but you can also have a panoramic view of the entire Taotie Pavilion environment and the beautiful scenery of the stream and lake outside the window.

As soon as they entered the house, they took off their veils and hats and took a rest.

I haven't been out of the house for a long time, and I felt exhausted after just a few steps.

There was a faint sound of water outside the window. Yun Ran slowly walked to the window and pushed the whole window open.

Standing in front of the window, she followed her heart and naturally recited a poem, "The lake is clear like a mirror in the morning, and the waves are white like the snow-capped mountains."

"The moon shines brightly, the river reflects its image, and everything is clear inside and outside."

Xi Yu rarely added a sentence, her tone was quite regretful, "It's a pity that you can only see it when you come here at night."

The waiter quickly brought the dishes to the table.

There are more than 200 dishes in Taotie Pavilion, all of which are small portions and exquisitely presented, so that customers can taste every dish.

Cheers and warm applause rang out in the lobby downstairs, and Xiyu and Yunran sat back at the table from the window.

There was an octagonal table between the two of them, which was filled with a variety of dishes.

The wooden folding door of the private room near the railing was opened, leaving only a layer of green gauze to block the view outside.

The sounds outside are clearer and more distinct.

The drumbeats stopped and the whole room fell silent.

The storyteller began to tell today's story.

"It is said that in the faraway Jiangnan region, there was a rich young man who married a woman whose mother's family was very powerful in order to fight for the family property. However, on the wedding night, he got drunk and indulged a beautiful maid.

After he sobered up, he returned to his new wife's room on time to complete the rest of the ceremony.

He woke up in the middle of the night and tried to hide the matter. He hid the maid and waited for the right time to take her as a concubine. However, he failed to keep it a secret. The next day, his wife found the maid and wanted to sell her off..."

Huh?

Xiyu was enjoying the delicious food on the table, but as she listened, she felt that the story sounded more and more familiar.

Could it be that her fourth brother had someone make up a strange story about the affairs of the Eighth Prince's Mansion?

You are so brave, aren't you afraid of others coming to mess things up?

She was a little tired at first, and had been uninterested in listening to storytelling, but now after listening to this, she became somewhat interested.

She wanted to know how it was adapted later.

It seemed that many people in the lobby had heard the origin of the story. Some were discussing it in low voices, while others were cheering. The response was surprisingly good.

"The rich young man wanted to keep the maid, but because of his new wife's maternal family, he had to compromise. For a while, the rich young man's reputation of being henpecked spread.

But the rich young man secretly ordered someone to buy the maid back secretly and hid her in another courtyard. He would rest there from time to time to avoid the suffocating oppression of the tigress in his home.

As time went by, the maid became pregnant before the main wife, but she didn't expect the truth to be revealed. When the matter was discovered, the maid was beaten to death by the tigress. Blood kept flowing out of the maid's body and stained the soil. The fishy smell filled the house for a long time.

By the time the rich young man received the news, the maid had already died. However, he was in the wrong at this point and dared not say a word.

When night fell, the woman's body was still there, and it had turned into a mummy..."

When he said this, the storyteller's tone became increasingly shrill and turned into a disembodied female voice.

A mournful string music was played in the hall, which made people feel a little creepy even in broad daylight.

From the private room next door, there was a crisp shattering sound.

I guess someone was so scared that he didn't hold the bowl and chopsticks.
