This immediately aroused Yan Qingwan's interest. She asked curiously, "Tell me quickly, what happened to Mu Fangwan?"

Zhao Shuhan replied, "Didn't Mu Fangwan fall into the lotus pond during the palace banquet? I don't know what's going on lately. Whenever there's water around, she always falls into the pond involuntarily.

And every time they couldn't find the murderer, up to now, she has attended nine parties, eight of which were related to water, that is, she fell into the pool eight times, can you believe it?"

Yan Qingwan raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this. Her first reaction was that it was her third brother Yan Qingchen who did it. After all, she had told her third brother and mother about this matter. Judging from the method used, it should not be her mother's method.

As for the third brother Yan Qingchen, if he wants to do it, there is a way.

Seeing Yan Qingwan didn't respond, Zhao Shuhan hurriedly asked, "Why, Ah Wan, you don't believe it?"

Yan Qingwan shook his head and explained, "Why not believe this? I was just daydreaming."

After hearing this, Zhao Shuhan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Several people chatted about this topic for a long time, and it was getting late, so everyone dispersed.

******

Time soon came to the day of Qiqiao Festival.

In the afternoon, Yan Qingwan woke up slowly after his nap.

After washing, she asked her maids to dress her up.

Yan Qingwan's eyebrows are of just the right thickness, her eyes are large and slender, the ends of her eyes are slightly upturned, and her eyelashes are long and thick.

Her lips were a light pink, so the maid only needed to add a little lip balm to improve her complexion, and a thin layer of pearl cream on her face, and that was it.

Makeup is the easiest, then hair.

Yan Qingwan takes good care of her hair, with a head full of thick, smooth black hair.

The maid Shi Yu stood behind the young lady, skillfully combing her hair into an exquisite lily hairpin, and cleverly selected an enamel flower hairpin to insert into it. When paired with gold rings and gemstone earrings, it looked particularly coordinated and eye-catching.

The maid Shi Yu stood behind Yan Qingwan. She looked at Yan Qingwan in the mirror and was stunned for a moment. Then she praised: "Miss, you are really beautiful."

Yan Qingwan stared at himself in the mirror quietly, smiled when he heard this, and said nothing.

So what if she is beautiful? Women in ancient times had the lowest status.

After all, beautiful women have always had a short life since ancient times.

I don’t know how many years she can survive in this context.

While she was daydreaming, her maid Xiaoman had already quickly changed her into a brand new lilac-colored square-necked, short-sleeved blouse and pleated skirt.

The color of this skirt is elegant and pleasant, just like a newly blooming lotus, giving people a fresh and natural feeling.

The hem of the skirt is even more ingenious. It was a lotus pattern that was carefully embroidered by seven or eight skillful embroiderers, who spent a full half month's hard work. Each lotus flower is lifelike, and you can almost smell the elegant fragrance of the flowers.

When Yan Qingwan walked, the hem of her skirt fluttered gently in the breeze, and those exquisite lotus flowers seemed to come alive, swaying gracefully, which was beautiful beyond words.

Yan Qingwan walked back and forth in the room several times, listening to the maids around him gasping for breath, and couldn't help but sigh, so this is what it feels like to be rich.

It feels really good.

Yan Qingchen arrived at Haitangyuan just as the sun was setting.

When he saw Yan Qingwan, who was dressed up carefully, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Why are you dressed so grandly?"

As soon as Yan Qingwan saw him, she raised the corners of her lips and smiled softly, saying in a delicate voice: "I can't help it. Third brother is going out to play with me. I'm so happy. Third brother, you're finally here. I've been waiting for you for so long that the flowers are almost withered!"

Yan Qingchen was distracted by his sister's smile, and when he came back to his senses, he smiled dotingly: "It is indeed a bit busy today, let's set off now and take the maids and servants with us."

Upon hearing this, Yan Qingwan nodded slightly, then turned around and called her personal maid to give her a few instructions, then walked out of Haitang Courtyard side by side with Yan Qingchen and went to the side door.

Following not far behind were two maids, Xiaoman and Shiyu.

The remaining White Dew and Frost lost the game of rock-paper-scissors this afternoon and stayed behind to guard the yard.

Yan Qingwan comforted them and said that they would have a chance to go out next time, so he would take them with him and leave Xiaoman and Shiyu to guard the yard. This made the two of them burst into laughter.

When we arrived at the side door, there was already a carriage waiting there that looked simple on the outside but luxurious on the inside.

With the help of Yan Qingchen, Yan Qingwan carefully climbed the steps of the carriage, entered the carriage, and sat down.

Yan Qingchen also entered the carriage and sat down opposite Yan Qingwan.

Yan Qingchen seemed to have noticed her doubts and explained gently, "There is another carriage behind. Your maid will sit in the back."

Upon hearing this, Yan Qingwan nodded, indicating that he understood.

As the driver's clear shouts rang out, the carriage began to move slowly.

The sound of rolling wheels and the clatter of horse hooves echoed in the air, forming a unique rhythm.

Yan Qingwan was quiet for less than a quarter of an hour, but he could no longer suppress his curiosity. He turned his gaze to Yan Qingchen, who was resting with his eyes closed, and asked softly, "Third brother, I heard that you got a promotion recently, right?"

Yan Qingchen did not open his eyes, but just opened his lips slightly, and a deep and magnetic voice suddenly sounded slowly in the car: "Well, what's wrong?"

Yan Qingwan showed a look of joy on his face, and said happily: "Congratulations, brother, you have made another step forward!"

Yan Qingchen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile.

He slowly opened his eyes, looked at Yan Qingwan, and said calmly: "There's nothing to congratulate, I'm just doing my duty."

Although what he pursued was fame, wealth and power, he only hoped that in the future, when his family was in danger, he would be able to protect the people he wanted to protect.

After hearing what Yan Qingchen said, Yan Qingwan couldn't help but feel a surge of admiration in his heart.

She knew that Yan Qingchen had always been a person with ideals and ambitions.

Unfortunately, it ended up like that.

Oh, I have to think of a way to take this opportunity to protect my family.

As time goes by.

The carriage soon stopped on the side of the street.

The groom's voice sounded outside: "Third Master, Fifth Miss, we're here."

Yan Qingchen nodded, then led Yan Qingwan out of the carriage and waved to the coachman.

Before Yan Qingwan got off the carriage, Yan Qingchen had already put a hood on her. To be honest, this made her very depressed.

She dressed up so beautifully, but it must be a waste of effort.

Humph.

No matter what I say later, I have to find a chance to take off my hat.

Get in the way.

Yan Qingchen didn't know what his sister was thinking at the moment, but he wanted her to eat with more peace of mind, so he said, "It's still early, I'll take you to Qianweilou to eat something first. The food sold on the street outside is not clean."

Yan Qingwan nodded slightly: "Okay."

After saying that, she followed Yan Qingchen into the restaurant.

Under the respectful guidance of the shopkeeper, they walked through the lobby, walked up the stairs, and went directly to the top-level box on the second floor.
