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

There were many people releasing river lanterns, so Cheng Jinchu and his team found a place with relatively fewer people to release the lanterns.

They carefully placed the river lantern into the river and, with a little effort, pushed the lantern forward, allowing it to move towards the center of the river.

The three of them closed their eyes and made a wish at the same time.

Bai Mingyao: I hope to marry Chu Chu home soon!

After he made the wish, he opened one eye and turned his head to secretly glance at Cheng Jinchu, but was afraid that Cheng Jinchu would open his eyes and see it, so he immediately closed his eyes and turned his head back.

Bai Siyao secretly glanced at her brother, then turned to look at Cheng Jinchu, clasped her hands together, placed them in front of her chest and made a wish: I hope my brother can marry me home to be my sister-in-law!

Cheng Jinchu is no longer worried about her stepsister, nor about the mission, which she is completing bit by bit. What she is most worried about now is her father.

Looking at the river lanterns gradually moving away, Cheng Jinchu closed his eyes and made a wish: I hope my dad can wake up soon!

After Cheng Jinchu and his two companions had released river lanterns and were about to leave, Cheng Jinchu saw two familiar figures. They were releasing river lanterns not far away and making wishes with their eyes closed!

"what happened?"

Bai Mingyao followed Cheng Jinchu's gaze and noticed a good-looking man. His words suddenly became more bitter.

However, the carefree Cheng Jinchu didn't hear it.

"Met two acquaintances!"

Cheng Jinchu replied that she felt there was nothing wrong with talking about it.

Bai Mingyao squinted his eyes and looked at the man over there. Well... he also noticed that there was a younger-looking girl next to the man.

"An acquaintance of my sister? Who is that?"

Bai Siyao suddenly asked at this time. Bai Mingyao really wanted to praise his sister. He didn't know how to ask, but he really wanted to know. He wanted to know it right now, otherwise his mood would be bad.

He knew who the man was, and he just wanted to hear Cheng Jinchu's introduction of him.

Just at this moment, his thoughtful little sister, eh…? Little sister is used to describe daughters, no matter what, always, too thoughtfully asked him the question he wanted to ask at this moment.

"Oh, those two people, the girl is someone I know in Liu County. You all know that I came back from Liu County. That girl is the daughter of the county magistrate of Liu County."

"I know, I know. It has been spread all over. The daughter of the magistrate of Liu County is now the county lady. Although I have not been in the imperial capital for long, I have heard about your previous case, sister."

Cheng Jinchu nodded.

"The person next to her is her cousin, her aunt's son, um... the son raised under her aunt's name, the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion, Xie Yu. The two families want to arrange their marriage."

Bai Siyao looked at the two people over there and became obsessed with their looks again.

"They really look like a good match! The older brother is also good-looking..."

Having said that, Bai Siyao stared at his brother again.

"But my brother is still the best looking. His words are far inferior to my brother's. To be honest, I still haven't found anyone who can compare to my brother!"

This compliment was absolutely sincere, and Cheng Jinchu nodded as well. She used to think that her father was the best looking. Well... her brother was not bad either, but he had a sharp tongue, which affected his appearance.

Bai Mingyao was very happy when he saw Cheng Jinchu unconsciously affirming Bai Siyao's words! He felt that his sister, who was usually cute, was even cuter at this moment, and she was worthy of being raised by him.

Bai Siyao was raised by Bai Mingyao from birth to the age of three.

There is no way, face control is innate. When Bai Siyao was a baby, she only allowed those who were good-looking to hold her. In her family, only her brother and mother could hold her, and most of the time, only her brother was held.

Her father is not ugly. Her father Bai Xiao is a scholar. He is very fair-skinned and gentle.

In short, anyone who is not stunningly good-looking will be rejected by Bai Siyao.

[Chu Chu, I see you haven't stopped them from getting along recently? You've seen it all. Xie Yu is not a good man. You have to pull Ning Jiao'er up. Don't let her fall into that quagmire! ]

Orange came out at this time and sat on Cheng Jinchu's shoulder. It also saw the couple over there who looked very pleasing to the eye.

Bai Mingyao narrowed his eyes and looked at the little thing that suddenly appeared on Cheng Jinchu's shoulder. It looked very cute and could speak. No, its mouth didn't move.

The voice sounded very childish. Is this thing male or female? Is it a boy or a girl?

Bai Mingyao looked at Bai Siyao and found that she didn't notice the little thing at all, and probably didn't hear anything either, because the little thing didn't open its mouth.

But how did he hear it without opening his mouth?

Bai Mingyao felt that there might be something wrong with him.

It seems that Chuchu can communicate with this little thing through consciousness. He can hear what the little thing says, so why can't he hear what Chuchu says?

Bai Mingyao felt that he really wanted to know...

[It is not appropriate for me to intervene at this time. The elders of both families are interested in bringing them together, and the Duke's wife loves Ning Jiao'er so much, and they all know it. She thought she had thought it through, but she didn't expect that the son she raised personally would have such a face in private! ]

【makes sense! 】

Bai Mingyao: What did my Chuchu say? What did he say? !(???.???)????

"It's really an eyesore no matter how you look at it!"

Suddenly a voice penetrated the crowd and floated into Cheng Jinchu's ears.

Cheng Jinchu looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman standing not far from her. She was wearing a green dress today and her face was pale. It was estimated that she had not recovered yet. She stood there, squinting her eyes and looking forward.

The first time Cheng Jinchu saw her, she felt familiar. The second time, she felt that she had seen her recently. The third time, she was finally sure that she had seen her before, and it was not long ago, in the Marquis' Mansion, Ling Zixin.

The woman in green seemed to have noticed Cheng Jinchu. She frowned and stared at Cheng Jinchu who had just been looking at her.

She didn't think about it for long. She had not met many stunning people, and Cheng Jinchu was definitely the one who impressed her the most.

"...Miss Shen, right? We met last time, do you still remember me?"

Ling Zixin came over and greeted Cheng Jinchu.

Cheng Jinchu smiled at her.

"Ms. Ling, what a coincidence! Are you visiting the Lantern Festival alone?"

Ling Zixin shook her head and said, “I came here with my mother, she is there.”

Ling Zixin pointed at a woman who was choosing jewelry in front of a small stall. She had just paid and was walking over with her things.

"Xin'er, look, that lady is really good at making hairpins. This one, and this one, I think you will look great wearing them."

As he said this, he showed Ling Zixin the things he had bought.

"Mother has always had good taste. Mother, let me introduce you to this girl. She is Yuanyuan's friend, the daughter of Minister Shen of the Ministry of Revenue."

The woman was so focused on showing off the things she bought to her daughter that she ignored the good-looking girl standing next to her. She was immediately delighted and threw the hairpin in her hand to Ling Zixin.

"I like this girl the moment I see her. It's a pity that I don't have another son. If I could have her as my daughter-in-law, I would have woken up laughing in my dreams!"
