"So now that you're back, has everything been settled in Jincheng?" Li Jieyue asked. "If you encounter any difficulties, I can help you."

So, my godmother is from Jincheng. I know a bit about Jincheng, Bai Yueyue. Hmm, although it's a higher-level city, how should I put it... there are copper mines. But my godmother does indeed fit the online description of Jincheng women.

"Oh, I knew Xiao Jieyue was the best!" Liu Sixian finally let go of Bai Yueyue and said, "Although I'm not as capable as Xiao Jieyue, I still have some abilities, and I've already taken care of it."

"Mm." Li Jieyue nodded gently. She was confident in Liu Sixian's abilities. Since the other party said there was no problem, she could rest assured.

"Madam, Miss, Lady Liu Sixian, would you like dinner prepared for you?" Zhao Shuli asked as she entered the room after receiving Li Jieyue's permission.

“No need,” Liu Sixian answered first, “We’re going to the Qin family’s house for dinner today.”

Zhao Shuli did not answer but looked at Li Jieyue. After Li Jieyue nodded in agreement, Zhao Shuli said, "Yes, ma'am."

Huh, are we going to the Qin family again? Bai Yueyue was actually very reluctant, after all, those two brothers were too torturous.

"Oh dear, Yueyue, don't you want to go?" Liu Sixian noticed Bai Yueyue's mood and asked.

"Ah, of course not. Godmother, I would love to have dinner with you and Godfather at the Qin family home, but I've been too busy lately and want to rest more..." Bai Yueyue politely declined. If she saw Qin Zijing and Qin Ye again, she would really be very tired.

"Is it because of those two ignorant kids, Qin Zijin and Qin Ye?" Liu Sixian nodded. "I'll go and get revenge for you later."

...My godmother wasn't listening to me at all.

So, Bai Yueyue and Li Jieyue got into the car heading to the Qin family's house at Liu Sixian's urging.

"Wow, it's been so long since I've been back, everything has changed so much!" Liu Sixian couldn't help but exclaim as she looked out the window at the scenery.

"Has my godmother not returned for a long time?"

"Yes, I haven't come back since Yu Sa left." Liu Sixian's eyes still held a trace of sadness when she mentioned Qin Yu Sa.

Bai Yueyue understood that Qin Zhenming had arranged Qin Yusa's marriage, which led to Qin Yusa's disappearance, and that was why Liu Sixian was no longer coming back.

"Godmother, actually Grandpa..."

“Oh, look at Jieyue, this is the temple Bai Zhenhao prayed at when you gave birth to Shen Xing.” Bai Yueyue wanted to explain for Qin Zhenming, but Liu Sixian interrupted her.

Dear Godmother, please don't be so free as to interrupt others when they're speaking!

"Is such a thing even possible?" Li Jieyue frowned. "Really, how could he believe in such a thing?"

Li Jieyue was unaware of this, but once she found out, she would definitely blame Bai Zhenhaoxin for his unrealistic ideas.

“He only comes back to pray when you give birth,” Liu Sixian explained. “Bai Zhenhao doesn’t usually believe in these things.”

That's good. Li Jieyue then decided to let Bai Zhenhao go for the time being.

Because Bai Yueyue was sitting on the other side, etiquette did not allow her to lean out to look, so she could not see what the temple looked like.

"By the way, Shen Xing and Aruo are coming back too, right? After all, Yueyue's coming-of-age ceremony is coming up soon, and as her older brothers, they have to accompany her." Liu Sixian asked again, having already told her about Bai Yueyue.

"According to etiquette, Qin Zijing should accompany Yueyue on her entrance," Li Jieyue corrected. Bai Shenxing and Bai Ruo were not nobles, so the most suitable candidate was her sworn brother, Qin Zijing.

Please, please don't choose him! Bai Yueyue wanted to object the moment she heard that.

Although the coming-of-age ceremony is still in the planning stage, Bai Yueyue already knows some of the procedures. Before entering, she will be escorted to the door by two female personal attendants. After entering, since Bai Yueyue is not engaged, her brother will lead her to her seat.

The thought of walking that distance arm in arm with Qin Zijing gave Bai Yueyue goosebumps all over her body; it was terrifying.

“Oh dear, Zijing’s words are a bit silly and mischievous,” Liu Sixian said, resting her chin on her hand. “Let’s not discuss that for now. In any case, it can be either Shen Xing or Zijing. Of course, Yueyue might get engaged before that.”

Haha, absolutely impossible. Please let Brother Bai Shenxing lead me in!

Bai Yueyue didn't react much to the news that Bai Shenxing and Bai Ruo were about to return. After all, this had already been planned, and it wouldn't be long before the two returned to prepare for Bai Yueyue's coming-of-age ceremony.

Bai Yueyue just wanted them to come back as soon as possible. Putting aside their abilities, their experience was at least superior to Bai Yueyue's, and many things would be much easier with their help.

If they're unwilling to help me, well... then please, Mother and Zhao Shuli, train my two older brothers diligently for my coming-of-age ceremony!

When they arrived at the Qin family's gate, they found no one to greet them, which was unbelievable. Leaving aside Bai Yueyue and Li Jieyue, Liu Sixian was Qin Limin's wife; how could no one welcome her back to the Qin family?

"Oh, I forgot to tell them!" Liu Sixian said, feigning a sudden realization.

Oh, now I understand. Nobody knew they were coming. Even when Liu Sixian returned today, Li Jieyue only found out when she arrived at the manor gate with her luggage.

Watching Liu Sixian hurriedly get out of the carriage with the help of her personal attendant, Bai Yueyue couldn't help but ask, "Mother, are all the nobles in Jincheng as free as you, my godmother?"

"Yueyue, you can't learn from them!"

Well, it seems the nobles of Jincheng are indeed like that. Without needing to ask further, Bai Yueyue knew their reputation within the imperial aristocratic circles. Given her current situation, she probably couldn't maintain that level of freedom.

Liu Sixian had already gotten out of the car, and Bai Yueyue and Li Jieyue could no longer stay in the car. The two of them got out of the car with the help of various personal attendants.

Liu Sixian had a lot of luggage, and her personal servants were still carrying it.

So, Godmother, why did you move so much luggage to the manor in the first place? Was it just to give me a "surprise"?

No further notice is needed; Bai Yueyue and the other two standing at the door is the best-case scenario.

Soon, the Qin family was busy. The servants immediately stepped forward to perform the welcoming etiquette and apologize for not greeting the three people immediately.

"I forgive you. Please take my luggage back to my room." Even if it was beyond her expectations, Liu Sixian was still a noblewoman, and when facing the servants of the Qin family, her noble demeanor would naturally be displayed.

"Yes, madam."

After arranging the servants' duties, Liu Sixian put on her characteristic aristocratic smile and said, "Jieyue, welcome."

Bai Yueyue did not need to be invited because she was the adopted daughter of the Qin family.

However, Bai Yueyue noticed that Liu Sixian's smile was far from Li Jieyue's standard. It was obvious she had gotten used to Jincheng and hadn't adjusted back to it quickly, and would soon break down.
