Even though I was dressed as an ugly woman, I was still forced to love by all kinds of big guys

There were still several hours before the evening lantern festival, but the streets were already bustling with activity. The carriage first stopped at Li's residence.

Li Xinglan got off the car first, followed by Shang Shiyu. He turned around, and when Su Su's small and soft hand was placed in his palm, his brows softened a lot.

There were people watching around. Many people knew the two brothers, who were considered influential figures in the imperial city. However, the girl with the veil looked unfamiliar.

"She must be the young marquis's fiancée?" someone guessed, seeing how intimate they were. "She brought them home to show my brother."

After hearing this, Li Xinglan felt a little jealous. Even if it was his younger brother, he couldn't do that! He took Su Su's other hand, not caring about the gasps of surprise from those around him.

The three of them walked into the mansion as if no one was around. Chuan Zhu shook his head and drove the carriage towards the backyard gate. Wow, even if he had seen it countless times, this scene was still exciting.

Blind Chen and Aunt Wang were making lunch, so the three of them went to Li Xinglan's courtyard first. There was a square stone table in the courtyard with two ceramic jars on it.

This is a hair dye formulated by Li Xinglan, which is made with herbal essences and is safe and reliable.

Su Su said that she hadn't been happy with her layered black and yellow hair for a long time, so she dyed it back today.

Li Xinglan gently combed her long hair with a comb. She also threw a comb to Shang Shiyu and said, "Comb it yourself. I'll dye your hair too."

It's annoying to see Ergouzi with such white hair at such a young age. Li Xinglan thought to himself, I'll figure out how to make him grow black hair.

Now that Su Su is back, he should have nothing to worry about.

Shang Shiyu let his hair down and didn't comb it, but just scratched it roughly with his fingers. He has always been like this. When Li Xinglan glared at him, he actually chuckled.

"What are you laughing at?" Li Xinglan gave Shang Shiyu a cold look while dyeing Su Su's hair. Why did this expressionless man suddenly smile, which was a bit scary?

Shang Shiyu restrained his smile, but the corners of his lips were still clearly curled up in a smile. He said in a serious tone, "Brother Gou, you are so kind."

"Isn't it disgusting!" Li Xinglan flicked his hand holding the wooden comb, and a few drops of black juice flew towards Shang Shiyu, but he easily dodged them.

"In this family, only Su Su can act like a spoiled child, you know? How can a grown man be so pretentious!" Although he said so, Li Xinglan couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

The three of them laughed non-stop. Shang Shiyu lowered his head to look at Su Su, his gaze making her feel a little shy. "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

"I have a gift for you." Shang Shiyu's eyes sparkled, like a puppy waiting for praise. He took out a land deed and said, "I've bought a mansion that belongs to you, and the Goddess Hall inside is almost finished."

This idea was proposed by Gou Ge, and the money was also borrowed from Gou Ge. Su Su definitely doesn't like staying in the palace, and it's not appropriate for her to return to Li Mansion now. So it would be most appropriate to build a Goddess Temple outside the palace.

"Today I submitted a petition on behalf of Ergouzi. He wants to use his military achievements to ask the emperor to release you from the palace." Li Xinglan also turned his head to look at Su Su, wanting to see her happy face. "Xiaoxiao will also speak well of us, so it shouldn't be a big problem. Are you happy?"

"Happy! Extremely happy!" Su Su was so happy that she almost jumped up from the stone bench. She held Shang Shiyu's big hand with both of her own, her hands trembling with excitement. "Thank you, Ergou. I'm really very happy!"

His own figure was reflected in her dark eyes, and Shang Shiyu's heart was filled. He squatted down, his eyes almost at her level.

"Don't worry, I will accumulate more military merits and ask the emperor for a marriage between you and Gou Ge. I won't let Yu Yan snatch you away."

Look, look, this is Gouzi's awakening. Brother's love for you is not in vain. Li Xinglan grinned and said, "After that, we can go to Yongzhou and stay together as a family forever."

"Okay!" Su Su nodded vigorously. Even though she had lost her memory, she could still imagine how happy their little home had been.

After applying the potion to Su Su, Li Xinglan covered her with a pink silk cloth and patted her head gently. "Be good, you can wash it later."

He started dyeing Shang Shiyu's hair again. He didn't need to be so careful with Ergouzi. He soaked his hair in the pot and rubbed it with his hands for a while. When it was almost done, he took a piece of leftover cloth and covered his head with it. The job was done.

Li Xinglan is very confident in his craftsmanship. Uncle Chen and Aunt Wang had already tried it two days ago.

It was time to wash her hair. Fuling brought a basin of hot water, and Li Xinglan personally rinsed Su Su's hair. Shang Shiyu asked, "Brother, what about me?"

He originally meant to ask how long it would take for him to wash his hair, but Li Xinglan seemed to have misunderstood. He glared at Shang Shiyu again and said, "I'll wash it for you later! You're already an adult, and you still need help washing your hair!"

Shang Shiyu: ...

He stood up silently and walked out of the yard. He still remembered that the well was near the kitchen.

Su Su knew that Gou Ge had misunderstood Er Gou's meaning, so when he was wiping her hair with a dry towel, she mentioned the matter. Unexpectedly, Li Xinglan just laughed.

"I did it on purpose." He squatted down, stretched his neck and kissed Su Su passionately on the lips before she could react. He felt a little embarrassed to kiss her in front of him without sending Er Gouzi away.

After reacting, Su Su leaned forward slightly, responding to his passion, her soft and warm lips pressed tightly against his. There was no lust involved, only strong love, pure and beautiful.

After the kiss, her eyes were filled with water, as if about to shed a few tears. She reached out and stroked Li Xinglan's thin face, her fingertips covering the red teardrop mole, "Brother Gou, you are so beautiful."

It's not about looks, it's about the soul.

When the black-haired Su Su and Shang Shiyu appeared together, everyone exclaimed, "That's right, it's just right."

At the lantern festival in the evening, Shang Shiyu and Li Xinglan both wore masks, which were given to them by Su Su during the lantern festival in their first year in the imperial city.

But Su Su's mask was gone. She did not put the mask into the treasure chest. Instead, Li Xinglan took out a black and gold cat-faced mask as if by magic.

It was exactly the same mask as that year. He remembered everything about her, but the fire could not burn away his memories.

He drew the picture, and Ergou carved the mask overnight. He then painted the patterns on it by hand. She will definitely like it.

Sure enough, Su Su couldn't let go of the mask. The reason why handmade things are precious is that the makers spent the most precious time and energy to complete them. She could even imagine their serious eyes.

As the lights came on, the three of them walked along the long, crowded street. Su Su looked around curiously. Many people were wearing animal ears. How trendy?!

Li Xinglan held her hand all the time, fearing she would get lost. He lowered his head and smiled as he said to her, "These are all your past works."

Whether it was the fairy tale house or her "Hey Hey" shop, they had been rebuilt a long time ago, and she was waiting for her return with him, "Just waiting for you to update your work, great designer."

Surprises came one after another. Su Su wanted to shout with excitement. Turning her head, she saw out of the corner of her eye that there were many cute little lanterns on a stall not far away.

A rabbit lantern caught her attention. Shang Shiyu understood what was going on and walked through the crowd to buy it with his imposing height.

A white and tender little hand picked up the lantern first. This scene was so familiar. A pretty girl in a pink and white dress was holding a rabbit lantern and smiling proudly at Su Su.
