Aunt Qiu smiled and adjusted the hairpin on her head: "Are you still worried about what mother is doing? Of course, there is no need to worry."

"Just wait to be the most noble daughter of this Marquisate! In the future, when I have cleared all the obstacles for you, you can marry Prince Jing with great honor."

"My Yi'er, you were born to be a phoenix soaring in the sky. How could you let a few scum ruin your future?"

Shen Zhiyi pursed her lips and smiled.

Yes! She should be the most noble woman. Who is Shen Nanxing? At most, she is just a stepping stone on her way forward.

At this time, a maid hurried in and stood outside the screen to report: "Madam, someone from Prince Jing's Mansion is here to invite the young lady to go boating on Jingyue Lake."

Aunt Qiu's face was immediately filled with smiles: "Yier, look what mother said? Isn't Prince Jing here to coax you?"

"Your brother Yu asked you to go boating on the lake!"

Shen Zhiyi could hardly control the smile in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows. She stood up suddenly and said, "Mom, then I will go see Brother Yu!"

"No hurries?"

Aunt Qiu put her hand on her shoulder and sat down: "What's the harm in letting him wait a while?"

"He made you angry, so you should punish him and make him wait longer."

Shen Zhiyi couldn't sit still any longer: "I'm afraid Brother Yu will get anxious..."

"What are you afraid of? Men are born cheap. The easier it is to get someone, the less they know how to cherish them. Only being close yet distant is the best. That's what makes him miss you most..."

"Just listen to your mother, it's absolutely right."

After being persuaded by Aunt Qiu, Shen Zhiyi finally sat down again.

He replied coldly, "Go tell the people at Prince Jing's Mansion that I'll be here later."

After another half an hour of hesitation, he slowly brought a maidservant who was as pretty as Qiutangyuan and got on the carriage to Jingyue Lake.

The maidservant was plain in appearance, but sitting next to her, she looked even more beautiful than the Queen Mother of the West.

She sat in the carriage, closed her eyes and took a nap, but she rehearsed many times in her mind how she would tell Brother Yu about her grievances and what expression she would have when facing him after meeting him.

Complaining? Angry? Aggrieved? ...

Fireworks exploded in the sky, and then fell in all directions like colorful flames.

The beauty of the scenery attracted the admiration of people who were visiting Jingyue Lake.

The people on the shore stopped and looked up to admire the view. The tourists on the pleasure boats also came out of the cabins, went to the deck and looked up.

"Oh my god, what a grand fireworks display!"

"I haven't seen such beautiful fireworks in a long time! These must be some rich young man setting them off for the woman he loves!"

"I can't even imagine how happy I would be if I were this woman... I'm so envious!"

"Hey, who cares who put it up? It's free to see, so go enjoy it!"

"Wow! Like a shooting star, I have to make a wish!"

"If any gentleman sets off a fireworks display like this for me, I will definitely marry him!"

"..."

Amidst this grand and beautiful fireworks display, Shen Zhiyi slowly arrived in a carriage.

She had heard everyone's discussions in the carriage and her face had already turned red with embarrassment.

She was originally a little complaining about why Brother Yu set off the fireworks before she arrived, but when she heard the envious voices of the crowd, she felt that this arrangement was also very good.

In this way, when she arrives, she can see the beautiful fireworks all over the sky at a glance.

So this slight unhappiness disappeared.

If these people knew that I was the happy woman they were talking about, I wonder how much they would envy her...

Thinking of this, she deliberately lifted the carriage curtain a little, smiled, raised her chin slightly, and drew a perfect arc at the corners of her lips.

From the outside, you can just see her fair and beautiful profile and her elegant and slender neck.

"Miss, here we are!"

The carriage slowly drove into a carriage field next to Jingyue Lake and stopped.

Shen Zhiyi held her head high, put on a perfect smile, and walked slowly with her maid to the pier where the pleasure boats were specially used.
