It's good to exchange marriages. My sister eats coarse food while I wear gold and silver.

"fine."

Shangguan Fu quickly calmed down: "I have arranged everything for the return trip. We can set off in three days."

"So fast?"

After spending so much time with everyone, Shangguan Que didn't want to leave: "Although I'm very busy and exhausted every day, I'm very relaxed and happy here."

"What? At home, did my elder sister and I stop giving you food or water?" Shangguan Fu said coldly. Seeing the flowers in Meng Qiongyue's hand, she muttered, "Sister, I am also a woman. I have never seen you give us anything since you were a child."

"This... this I don't know either."

"I don't know, can't you just ask?" Shangguan Fu snorted, "I've raised you as a brother in vain, Qiongyue, don't be deceived by his appearance, he's a bad guy at heart."

"Second sister."

Who would reveal someone's secrets in front of others?

Shangguan Que was so angry that he stamped his feet: "You've drunk too much, so go back to your room and rest, and don't talk nonsense in front of Qiongyue."

"Second Patriarch, don't worry. I'll be watching him. He won't have the chance to do anything bad." Meng Qiongyue looked at the siblings with a smile, "As long as he is given three to five years, he will be able to stand on his own, Shangguan Que, don't you think so?"

"what?"

Shangguan Que was shocked. She just put herself on the line like this?

"Answer."

Meng Qiongyue pushed Shangguan Que.

"I……"

Shangguan Que turned his head to meet his second sister's burning gaze, and said with a stiff upper lip: "Yes, I will work hard and grow up."

"Third brother, you have really grown up. I am very happy."

Shangguan Fu was very relieved, but the next second she was dragged away to drink again.

Meng Qiongyue saw Shangguan Que staring blankly at his second sister, and reached out to pull him to the stool: "Your eldest sister and second sister have endured hardships that ordinary people cannot see. When you go back, you must do what you said."

"It's not what I asked them to do."

"If they weren't here, would you be able to enjoy your current life of luxury? You can't enjoy it while accusing them of restricting your freedom, right?" Meng Qiongyue spread her hands. "You can't be so greedy. You need to be grateful."

"I do not have."

Shangguan Que pouted: "I just... just..."

"Just what? Are you embarrassed?" Meng Qiongyue smiled. "They are your biological sisters. They raised you and protected you from the wind and rain. They love you very much, but they don't need your efforts and rewards. As long as you let them know that you love them too, that's enough."

Shangguan Que lowered his head and looked at Meng Qiongyue with curiosity: "Qiongyue, it's been a short time since we last met, and your speaking skills have improved dramatically."

“I was also influenced by what I saw and heard.”

Meng Qiongyue pointed at Lu Sui and Yuan Buwei who were greeting guests and said, "Look, the young marquis and the young lady, their presence gives people a sense of reassurance, as if as long as they are together, there is nothing in the world that they can't solve."

Shangguan Que looked over and nodded after a few seconds: "It should be said that Madam Lu brought her here. Anyway, from the first time I saw her, I felt that she was very extraordinary. In the past, I always liked to say that it would be fine if she was a man, but now I think that her existence is the best."

"Shangguan Que, you can actually say such philosophical words now?"

"I have always been very knowledgeable, you just haven't noticed." Shangguan Que snorted, but naturally put the food into Meng Qiongyue's bowl, "Eat something first to fill your stomach. I heard that we will go to the bridal chamber to make a fuss later."

"You want to make trouble?"

"I'm going to get the scriptures."

"Learn from the scriptures?"

Meng Qiongyue had just raised her doubts when she immediately reacted the next second. Her face flushed red: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"No nonsense."

Shangguan Que particularly likes to be with Meng Qiongyue. If he didn't have something to do every day, he could stay in the house all day without coming out: "Let's get back to the topic just now..."

"What topic?"

"Get married."

"It's not that easy to get married. There are many things to do after returning to Beijing."

"What you mean is..." Shangguan Que's face darkened, "You don't want to marry me?"

"Did I say I didn't want to?"

If it were someone else, they would have long been unable to bear Shangguan Que's mood swings, but Meng Qiongyue was particularly stable: "Don't always use your mind to guess what I'm thinking."

"I just want you to say something affirmative."

"Getting married requires three matchmakers and six betrothals, and there are many preparations to be done. Moreover, the situation in the capital is unstable. I am now the deputy general of the young marquis. If I marry you, it means telling outsiders that the Shangguan Mansion is one with the Yong'an Marquis Mansion and the Wanning Marquis Mansion. Although you don't care about these, for now, we can't let outsiders know." Meng Qiongyue patiently explained to Shangguan Que, "I have escaped death, and I understand the preciousness of life, so I don't want anything to happen to you, understand?"

Shangguan Que was a little confused by Meng Qiongyue's sudden seriousness: "I am..."

"I know... you are very worried about me and want to marry me as soon as possible so that you can legitimately take care of me and protect me, right?"

"you……"

Shangguan Que's face flushed. Why did she say what was in her heart?

"Third Young Master, what are you doing..."

Meng Qiongyue saw a thin layer of red on Shangguan Que's face and poked him maliciously, resulting in the thin layer of red quickly spreading and turning into deep red.

"Shangguan Que, your face now looks like a red apple."

Shangguan Que, who was about to get angry, was mesmerized by Meng Qiongyue's smile: "Qiongyue, you are so beautiful."

"Eh?"

Now it was Meng Qiongyue's turn to blush.

When Lu Sui and Yuan Buwei finished toasting and returned, they saw the two people who were almost ripe.

As two people who have been through this before, they smiled at each other.

It seems that after returning to Beijing, it won’t be long before I can enjoy wedding banquets again.

Three days later, it was time to leave.

Yun Ling, dressed in a woman's outfit, held Yuan Buwei and Meng Qiongyue's hands, her eyes filled with tears and reluctance: "Madam, Miss Meng, you must be careful on the road. If everything is safe, remember to write to me."

Yuan Buwei opened her arms and hugged Yun Ling tightly: "Yes, and the Shangguan family's merchant ships will often dock at the dock here. When the time comes, I will send it to you if you need it. You can also send it to me if you want to give me something. We should keep in touch often."

"it is good."

Yun Ling nodded and let go of Yuan Buwei: "It's getting late, Madam, Miss Meng, you should get on the boat quickly."

"Well, Yunling, take care."

"Ah."

When Yun Ling opened her mouth, tears started to flow. After saying goodbye to Lu Sui and others, Ning Xingzhou came up, hugged his wife, and looked up to say goodbye to everyone.

"FD."

"Be careful, and see you next time."
