My eldest cousin Shui Jiusi inherited his father's appearance. He was dressed in an elegant green robe and had regular facial features. He was not particularly handsome, but he looked very comfortable at first glance, with a look of determination between his brows.

My second cousin Shui Tingfeng inherited his appearance from both his father and mother. He has a thin face, a low jaw, long and narrow eyes, and even a feminine softness. He has an unfathomable sense of mystery. When he looks at Zhu Qing'an, his eyes seem to contain infinite tenderness.

It can be said that Shui Tingfeng's eyes and Zhu Qing'an's eyes are three points similar, and they seem to look at everyone with affection.

"I've dreamed of having a younger sister since I was little, and now, my dream has finally come true!" Shui Tingfeng seemed very familiar. He walked up to Zhu Qing'an and said affectionately, "In Lingzhou, if you want anything, just ask, and your second cousin will definitely find it for you!"

Shui Zheng and Zeng smiled helplessly, "Don't scare the girl, kid!"

Even his eldest cousin Shui Jiusi pulled his younger brother away and said, "My cousin is a noble lady from an Ancheng family. Please don't be disrespectful!"

"What? I just want to talk to my cousin. Look at you guys, it's like I'm going to bully my cousin!" Shui Tingfeng said dissatisfiedly, and then he leaned close to Zhu Qingan's ear and whispered, "Everyone likes you very much. My cousin must not know that when my father and uncle learned that you came to Lingzhou, they didn't even go to the business all day. They were afraid that my cousin would suddenly show up and miss everyone!"

Zhu Qing felt a warm feeling in her heart. She had indeed written a letter a few days ago about coming to Lingzhou, but she did not expect that the people in Shuifu would welcome her so much.

Although it was beyond her expectations, she really liked the atmosphere of the Water Palace.

"Qing'an girl, is it okay for me to call you like that?" Aunt Li asked with a smile.

Zhu Qingan nodded and said, "Aunt, please feel free to do as you please!"

It's just a name, and she's the younger one. What's more, she can feel the doting in everyone's way of addressing her, as if they often call her that.

"That's good. We are just ordinary people, not as noble as those in Ancheng. If there is anything we have neglected, just let us know! Don't be restrained!" Li said, glancing at the two children. "My sister-in-law and I are blessed with such a son. Since they were young, they have envied other families for having sisters. Now their dream has come true!"

Zhu Qing'an suddenly realized that it was no wonder that his two cousins ​​looked so happy when they saw them looking at him.

"Since I was young, my grandmother told us not to envy other people's sisters, saying that we also have sisters in Ancheng. When I was young, I thought my grandmother was lying to me. Now I know that I not only have a sister, but this sister is like a fairy!" Shui Tingfeng looked at Zhu Qing'an with a bright smile on his face.

Shui Jiusi also agreed with this. Even now, they felt that this noble cousin who came from Ancheng was too pretty.

They knew that their aunt was pretty and understood that their cousin would be good-looking too, but they didn't expect that their cousin would be even more beautiful than their aunt.

She was standing in the hall, her eyes were slightly long and narrow, with the corners of her eyes slightly upturned. Her facial features were as beautiful as a fox spirit in the forest, but her well-behaved look when she blinked made her look innocent and naive.

"Qing'an is unfilial and comes to visit only now!" Zhu Qing'an said. At this time, Fu Guang hurriedly had someone carry in the prepared gifts. A carriage full of gifts was placed in the hall, which looked very generous.

"I don't know what grandpa, uncle, aunt and cousin like. This is the gift I prepared for everyone!" Zhu Qing'an said politely.

"You are so polite, kid!" Grandfather couldn't stop smiling. It was not because he was thinking about these things, but because Zhu Qing'an's behavior showed that she did not look down on them.

You know, before, they were also very afraid that as businessmen, they would be looked down upon by the granddaughter from Ancheng. Fortunately, the child was well educated by her father.

Everyone accepted the gifts politely and spoke affectionately, which made Zhu Qing'an feel relieved.

"Okay, girl, you must be tired after the long journey. Let's talk tomorrow if you have anything to say!" Old Lady Shui said as she looked at so many people surrounding her granddaughter.

Zeng nodded as soon as these words came out. "Are we confused, or is it that mother is thoughtful and has already cleaned the courtyard?"

"I trust you to do the job!" Madam Shui waved her hand, "Everyone, go and do your own thing!"

Everyone said some considerate words to Zhu Qingan, but when Shui Tingfeng left, his face was full of reluctance. "Grandma must want to talk to my cousin by herself, I want to stay too!"

"That's enough, hurry up and leave!" Shui Jiusi pulled his second brother's arm and left.

Compared to Madam Shui, the old man seemed to be in worse health, or perhaps because he was too emotional, he looked a little sleepy at the moment.

Old Madam Shui asked the maid to send the boss back to rest first, and she personally took Zhu Qing'an to the courtyard.

This is a very quiet courtyard. Although it is not luxurious, it is elegant and clean, and you can see that it is decorated with care. Many things are in the style that the noble lady of Ancheng likes.

"This was prepared for you by your second aunt. It was prepared in such a hurry. Do you like it?" Old Lady Shui pulled her granddaughter to look around.

"Thank you for your trouble, aunt. I like it very much!" Zhu Qing'an said, helping his grandmother to sit down.

She knew that her grandmother seemed to have something to say to her alone, and she was also a little confused, at least she had not seen her mother yet.

She had previously heard from her mother that the Shuifu family were the kind of people who were trying to curry favor with the rich and powerful, because they had forced her mother to marry her father regardless of the consequences, just because her father was Marquis Wen'an and had a bright future.

But now, after she came into contact with everyone in the Water Palace, she found that this did not seem to be the case.

The people in Shuifu were nice to her not because of her status as Princess Yongfu, but because of who she was.

"Grandma, where is mother?" Zhu Qing'an asked.

When Mrs. Shui heard her granddaughter mention her daughter, a look of shame appeared on her face, as if she didn't know how to start.

"Grandma, just be frank. I've known for years that mother doesn't like me!" Zhu Qing'an said frankly, feeling that there was nothing to hide.

Madam Shui sighed deeply and talked a lot.

"I gave birth to your mother after I gave birth to my two sons. She was a girl, so I doted on her since she was little. I didn't realize I'd raised her to be so ignorant and conceited! Blame it on me!" Old Madam Shui said, then asked, "I suppose you also know about your mother and the Yang family, right?"

Zhu Qing'an nodded. She understood that there seemed to be a hidden story behind the truth she knew.

"Your mother is indeed in love with the man from the Yang family, but your grandfather and I see through the mind of that young man from the Yang family. He is only attracted by your mother's beauty and the wealth of the Shuifu. However, Yang Yu is not only uneducated but also has bad behavior. The Yang family is even more powerful on the outside but weak on the inside. Therefore, your grandfather and I never approve of your mother's relationship with the Yang family! We even tried to stop it!"
