After the first month of the lunar year, the snow melted and all the white cloth in Wang Yushi's mansion was removed.

It seems as if the hardships have passed and everything is slowly getting better.

However, Xie An Ning became a taboo in the entire mansion. Everyone kept it a secret and no one dared to mention him in public.

Wang Shaofu returned to his previous busy life, even busier than before.

I go out early in the morning and sometimes don't come back until dark.

When they went to the main courtyard to pay their respects to Old Madam Wang, the mother and son exchanged a few words in a lukewarm manner, no longer as enthusiastic as before.

Xie Anning and Li's mother have created a deep gap between mother and son.

Without a key opportunity, there is no way the relationship will ease.

Time passed, and a drizzle brought early spring.

No one knew what Wang Shaofu had done, but the Yao family came to his house several times to ask for a meeting.

When they couldn't find Wang Shaofu, they went to find Old Man Wang.

Regardless of the valuable gifts he presented, Wang Shaofu was summoned to his father's study early the next morning before he even left the house.

At this time, Xie Anning, who had been wandering in this world for several months, was really annoyed.

She listened patiently for a few seconds.

Old Master Wang tried his best to persuade them to reconcile, saying that the Yao family was deeply sorry and had offered a valuable gift as compensation. He also indicated that if Wang Shaofu was still not satisfied, Yao Yushu and his sister could let him do whatever he wanted and apologize to him.

In Mr. Wang’s opinion, it is enough.

After all, the power of the aristocratic families is intertwined and complex. If one really wants to take down an entire clan, it will not only affect one's own reputation, but will also make other aristocratic families wary.

No one would be willing to have close ties with a family that uses such cruel means. Everyone is afraid that they will become the next Yao family.

Therefore, be merciful when you can and leave some room for others. It will be good for both you and others.

After hearing this, Xie Anning couldn't bear to listen any longer.

She turned around and floated into the yard, sat on the trunk of a towering sycamore tree, and stared blankly at the sky.

I thought: How long will she be trapped in this world!

She is so angry!

It was unknown what the Wang family father and son were talking about inside. When Wang Shaofu came out, his face was calm.

It should be said that since the funeral, he has been like a stagnant pool of water, with no more ripples.

Xie Anning also found that he had lost a lot of weight without realizing it.

Her wide sleeves fluttered in the wind, her hair was tied up with a jade crown, and her figure was still slender and upright, but the ribbon around her waist was tightened by more than one knuckle.

Even...white hair grew on his temples in just a few months.

Wang Yong was guarding the door. When he saw his master come out, he bowed and said something.

Wang Shaofu shook his head slightly. He was about to go out, but he gave up the idea and returned to his study.

The rice paper was spread out, and he stood in front of the desk, holding the jade pen, but he was reluctant to put it down.

After a long time, the wrist hanging in the air trembled slightly.

He looked at Wang Yong next to him and asked, "Do you still remember your mistress? What does she look like?"

His voice was hoarse and his expression was dazed, like a child who had lost his way.

Where is the profound and reserved person who can plan strategies in the court and remain unmoved by any circumstances?

Wang Yong's nose suddenly felt sore, and the iron-willed chief guard's eyes turned red.

Wang Shaofu didn't seem to want him to answer. After saying this, he turned and went to the corner, searching on the bookshelf full of calligraphy and paintings.

After a while, he brought a scroll and opened it.

The girl with curved eyebrows, round eyes, straight nose and red lips was Xie An Ning.

Sixteen-year-old Xie Anning.

She was not as dignified and reserved as she was later. At this time, she had just become a bride. She was wearing a light green long dress, fresh and graceful, and still retained the cuteness of a young girl before she got married. She sat on a bench in the courtyard, holding a round fan, and was extremely beautiful.

Wang Shaofu stared at it intently, as if he had lost his soul.
