A short night is hard to please! A stunningly handsome prince dotes on her exclusively.

"Fuchen, if your brother sends someone to Chunyi Pavilion to pay the money later, you must accept it. I've really troubled you these past few days!"

"Princess, please don't be so polite. It's fate that Fuchen has come to know you."

Hearing him address her as "Princess" repeatedly, Xin Moyan subconsciously frowned. To be honest, after spending the past few days together, she found that Fu Chen had a really good and gentle personality, and he was also very patient. She considered him a friend, and she didn't want Fu Chen to suddenly become so distant.

"Fu Chen, from now on you should just call me Mo Yan!"

Seeing her brother frown, she quickly stepped forward and hugged Xin Moling's arm, saying in a gentle voice, "Brother, you must believe Yan'er. Fu Chen is indeed a gentleman. If you spend more time with him, you will definitely want to become friends with him."

“That’s right, that’s right. I also think that Young Master Fu Chen is handsome and gentle, and is really worth getting to know. Young Master Fu Chen, my name is Hua Buyu, you can call me Buyu from now on.”

"This……"

Liu Fuchen hesitated for a moment. With Mo Yan's frank and lively personality, it seemed that the friends she made would be even more unrestrained and bold.

Xin Moling looked down at his fair wrist and sighed inwardly. He originally didn't want Yan'er to come into contact with too many strangers to avoid being deceived, but Yan'er made two friends in a row. If Liu Fuchen was as he seemed, then he had no choice but to give up. After all, his sister's happiness was the most important thing.

"Then promise your brother that you will never get to know strangers again. We've been out for a long time today, so let's go back to the manor for lunch!"

Seeing that her brother was no longer stopping her from making friends, Xin Moyan beamed with joy and nodded hastily.

"Okay! Brother, I'm hungry too."

He turned back to Liu Fuchen excitedly and said, "Fuchen, let's go back first. If there's a chance in the future, I'll discuss some painting techniques with you."

"Okay, Mo Yan."

Liu Fuchen returned her a gentle smile, though he himself didn't know when they would meet again.

Hua Buyu pulled Xin Moyan's arm, then linked arms with her, turned to Liu Fuchen with a grin, and said, "Young Master Fuchen, we'll be going now! I'll come back to have your portrait drawn another day!"

"Yes, Miss Hua, take care."

"Oh dear! Everyone says it's best to just keep quiet."

As she was speaking, she tried to move closer to him, but Xin Moyan quickly pulled her back. After saying a few words of farewell to Liu Fuchen, the group went downstairs without letting Liu Fuchen come down to see them off.

At the entrance of Chunyi Pavilion, Hua Buyu clung to the two siblings, insisting on returning to the General's Mansion with them, but the elder brother naturally disagreed.

"Xin Moling, I've never even visited your residence. Please, have mercy and let me have a seat!"

She clasped her hands together, her eyes filled with pleading, and stared intently at Xin Moling.

"No! Hua Buyu, I've already shown you leniency by allowing you to associate with Yan'er."

Without a second thought, Xin Moling rejected the woman outright, ignoring the expression on her face.

"Hmph! You're so stingy! Yan Yan, I want to go home with you. I've never played on a swing before!"

She shook Xin Moyan's arm again, lowering her voice to a level so soft that even mosquitoes would fly away.

Xin Moyan was in a bit of a dilemma. She really wanted to play with Buyu, and she also planned to sound out Buyu's opinion!

"Brother~~~~"

Blinking her clear, innocent eyes at her brother and softening her tone slightly, this was the best way Xin Moyan could think of to act cute.

Of course, one of the older brothers inevitably softened, reached out and patted her head, and then sighed deeply.

"Fine, if Yan'er wants her to come along, then let her come, but..."

Xin Moling's eyes instantly turned sharp, glaring at Hua Buyu with a strong warning.

"However, Hua Buyu, you are not allowed to take Yan'er out of the manor at will, or let her meet unrelated outsiders, otherwise..."

Before he could finish speaking, the expression on his face grew increasingly sinister and terrifying.

Hua Buyu subconsciously shrank her neck and nodded vigorously.

Before long, the three of them got into the carriage and drove away.

On the third-floor window, watching the carriage gradually disappear into the distance, Liu Fuchen wore only a faint smile.

"Young Master, Miss Mo Yan and the others have gone far away!"

"Yes, He Yi, if Mo Yan or... Bu Yu comes to Chun Yi Pavilion in the future, please ask them to come directly to Qing Yu Pavilion."

"Yes."

Along the way, Hua Buyu kept chattering away with Xin Moyan, which annoyed Xin Moling, who usually preferred quiet. However, since his sister seemed happy, he stopped saying anything.

"Yan Yan, your house is quite big!"

Hua Buyu looked around the general's mansion. Although it was spacious, it was not decorated much, probably because the brother and sister rarely lived here before.

"I also think it's quite big."

After Xin Moyan accepted the fact that she had traveled through time, her brother took her around the mansion the next day and showed her around. She was really shocked. Land was cheaper in ancient times. This general's mansion must be at least the size of two football fields!

"Yan'er, lunch is ready. Let's go to the dining hall. You've been painting for so long, you should take a good rest this afternoon."

"Yan Yan, where will I sleep?"

"what?"

"Hua Buyu, I only agreed to let you come to my residence for a short visit, I did not ask you to stay here."

"Oh dear! Look at how expensive my lodging at Yunxiang Tower is. Your mansion is so big, don't you even have a room for me?"

"Brother, there are so many rooms in the mansion. Why don't you let Buyu stay here for a few days? That way, Yan'er won't be too bored!"

"Exactly! At worst, I'll pay you the same amount for lodging at Yunxiang Tower as I do at your residence these next few days. That way, Yan Yan won't need to leave the residence to find me, and she'll be safe and sound!"

Hua Buyu raised her chin at him triumphantly, thinking that what he said made a lot of sense.

They each said something, giving Xin Moling a headache. Then, she waved her hand at Hua Buyu, telling her to do whatever she wanted.

"Hehe~ Thank you, brother!"

"The food's getting cold, let's go!"

Xin Moling instructed his subordinates to arrange a room next to his sister's for Hua Buyu to stay in. After all, what she said made sense. It was too unsafe for Yan'er to go to Yunxiang Tower to see her all the time. Although he still couldn't find out Hua Buyu's true identity, she didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards Yan'er.

After lunch, Hua Buyu yawned lazily and said to Xin Moyan, "Yan Yan, I got up early today and I'm really sleepy. Let me rest for a while, and I'll come find you to play later!"

"Okay! I've been drawing for several days and I'm a little tired. Let's both go take a nap. Later I'll take you to the back garden; there are lots of beautiful flowers there!"

"Mmmmmmm!"

Hua Buyu was unusually well-behaved this time, and Xin Moling ignored her, turning to go to the study to handle military affairs.
