Just because she looks weak doesn't mean she's easy to bully.

Bai Mingyao had heard that Cheng Jinchu had come to the old lady's place and had been waiting outside for a long time. He did not let the servants inform him and listened to Cheng Jinchu's story outside.

He noticed the name in the story told by Cheng Jinchu, and his intuition told him that Xiaochu was Cheng Jinchu herself, but had she lived such a hard life over the years?

That’s not right. Cheng Jinchu is not an orphan. Her mother only has Shen Jinyi as her adopted daughter.

By the way, Bai Mingyao only found out about the fact that the girl next to Cheng Jinchu was actually Shen Yun’s daughter because he heard that Cheng Jinchu came here.

As early as when the trial of the case in Liu County began, Bai Mingyao had already returned to Han Country and began planning to come to the Shen Mansion.

After he entered the room, he bowed to all the elders. Old Mrs. Shen liked this grandson the most. When she saw him coming, her eyes narrowed with a smile.

"Yao'er is here to pick up Yiyatou?"

Bai Mingyao bowed.

"Grandma, your grandson is here to pick up your cousin."

Old Lady Shen looked at Cheng Jinchu standing next to Bai Mingyao. She felt that the more she looked at him, the better he looked. The two of them standing together looked a perfect match. Alas...

If Yao'er could achieve some fame, she could also talk to the third brother and bring them together.

This girl is so pretty, the third brother probably won't marry her off easily. Maybe she can marry into a rich family and help the Shen family to move forward. She doesn't want to disrupt the third brother's plan.

When the old lady thought of this, she felt a little sorry and looked at Cheng Jinchu lovingly.

"Go ahead, go out and have some fun with your cousin and come back. Be careful, and grandma will send some more people to follow you."

Cheng Jinchu and Bai Mingyao bowed to the old lady and other elders and left.

The carriage was already waiting outside. Cheng Jinchu lifted the curtain and Bai Siyao was already sitting on it. When she saw Cheng Jinchu, her eyes lit up and she pulled Cheng Jinchu to sit with her. After Bai Mingyao got on the carriage, he sat opposite them.

Bai Siyao was chattering in the carriage, and Cheng Jinchu and Bai Mingyao were responding.

Because the street where the lantern festival was held was not far from the Shen residence, they arrived there quickly. When they reached the intersection of the street, Cheng Jinchu and his friends planned to get off the car and walk to admire the lanterns.

Bai Mingyao got off the carriage first. He carried his sister down first, and then helped Cheng Jinchu get off the carriage. As soon as Cheng Jinchu got out of the carriage, she was attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of her, so much so that she didn't notice that Bai Mingyao was holding her hand tightly.

Bai Mingyao pulled his hand back before Cheng Jinchu could react.

What Cheng Jinchu saw before his eyes was a lively scene of the Lantern Festival.

The streets were bustling with people, hawking, talking and laughing, and children were running around the adults, playing and fighting...

The whole city was filled with fireworks and all kinds of exquisite lanterns. Men, women, old and young in the city all wore new clothes and came from all directions to attend this grand lantern festival.

Cheng Jinchu's eyes were tired from looking at it all. She was pulled forward by Bai Siyao, enjoying the lively scene all the way and was in a good mood.

It was unknown how much time had passed before Bai Siyao handed her two exquisite animal lanterns. Only then did Cheng Jinchu react. Bai Siyao also had two lanterns in his hand, and Bai Mingyao was looking at them and smiling.

Cheng Jinchu felt like he might drown in that smile. How could all the beautiful scenery around him lose its color when someone smiled?

It was Bai Siyao who dragged her ashore.

"Cousin, these are all won by my brother from guessing lantern riddles. How do you think they are? Do they look good?"

Cheng Jinchu took a deep breath, looked around, noticed the lantern in his hand, then looked at the one in Bai Siyao's hand and nodded.

Bai Mingyao touched Cheng Jinchu's head and placed a portion of Red Plum Pastry in front of Cheng Jinchu and Bai Siyao.

"I just saw this being sold over there, and it seemed like there were a lot of people lining up, so I asked people to line up there in advance."

Bai Siyao saw what her brother brought and wanted to eat it, but the lantern in her hand restricted her.

So she turned around and gave the lamp in her hand to the servant behind her, and then took the lamp from Cheng Jinchu's hand and gave it to another servant.

"Cousin, try it quickly, it's delicious, but it's not as good as what my mother made!"

Bai Siyao took a piece, took a bite, and thought it was delicious. He fed one to Cheng Jinchu, and then picked up another one and stuffed it into his brother's mouth.

"How's it going? Is it okay?"

Bai Siyao tilted her head and looked at Cheng Jinchu, her eyes smiling into the shape of a little moon, very cute.

"Yeah! It's delicious."

Bai Siyao was very happy. She walked forward and held Cheng Jinchu's hand.

"Sister, I want to release river lanterns!"

Bai Siyao pointed in a direction and Cheng Jinchu looked in that direction. There were many people lighting lanterns by the river. Countless lanterns were floating on the river, like stars scattered on the earth.

People on both sides of the Taiwan Strait light lanterns to pray and express good wishes.

"it is good!"

Cheng Jinchu also wanted to go, but not just because of the cute girl in front of him acting coquettishly!

Bai Mingyao was smiling the whole time. He stood aside with his hands behind his back. Maybe it was because he was wearing moon-white clothes, but Cheng Jinchu felt that he looked like an immortal banished from the mortal world. In the whole lively scene, he was the only one who looked special.

"I'm going to buy some river lanterns. You guys go wait for me over there. Remember not to get too close to the water's edge. There are too many people there. Once I buy the lanterns, we can go release them together!"

Bai Siyao gently pushed her brother.

"Go ahead, don't be so long-winded. There are so many people buying. I will definitely follow my sister and wait at the place you specify!"

Bai Mingyao tapped Bai Siyao's little head gently.

"Don't mess around~"

That voice is so nice and gentle!

In fact, it didn't hurt, it was just a subconscious action. Bai Siyao pouted, covered the place where he was hit with one hand, and looked at Bai Mingyao with dissatisfaction.

"Brother, I'm already this big, you can't hit me on the head like this. Dad said I was stupid, it must be because of you that I was hit!"

Bai Mingyao pretended to hit Bai Siyao on the head again. Bai Siyao covered his head with one hand and backed away holding Cheng Jinchu with the other.

"Go quickly, brother. My sister and I are waiting for you~"

Having said that, he quickly pulled Cheng Jinchu away.

Bai Mingyao looked at the two people's backs, smiled and shook his head, then walked towards the place where river lanterns were sold.

Before he reached the stall, he saw a man coming over with three river lanterns. When he got closer, he realized that it was Feng Yue who had recently sold himself at a low price.

"Master, I have already bought the river lantern, and the indenture..."

Bai Mingyao took the river lantern, his eyes revealing confusion.

"What's a body contract? I don't know. What are you talking about?"

Having said that, Bai Mingyao took the lamp and left, leaving Feng Yue, feeling aggrieved, shouting behind him.

"Master, you did this on purpose..."
