"That's it?" Mu Yangzhi stared blankly at Bai Tuantuan and Ning Nanxiao's departing figures, then looked at Bai Han and Chen Luo, "Grandpas, couldn't you have created more obstacles for Ning Nanxiao?"

"Second Prince!" Ning Chengzhu stood up and immediately grabbed Mu Yangzhi. "Good lad, what nonsense are you spouting? Didn't you want to practice your spear skills? Come on, I'll take you there!"

"No, no, Uncle Chengzu! Father! Father! Save me! Ahhh!"

Hearing Mu Yangzhi's screams, everyone couldn't help but laugh.

The Emperor smiled and said, "We've watched Nanxiao grow up, and we know his personality. You two can rest assured."

Bai Han stroked his beard: "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. If Tuantuan had chosen someone else, we would have had to worry. But Nanxiao! Hehe, we're from the same place, so we can look out for each other."

Chen Luo snorted softly. Although he was unwilling to admit it, Ning Nanxiao was indeed the best match for Bai Tuantuan.

After leaving Erdong Restaurant, the two young people strolled around Jinzhou.

"The food from roadside stalls is still the best," Bai Tuantuan said with a bite to eat. "It has a unique flavor."

"Then eat more." Ning Nanxiao placed the candied hawthorns he bought in Bai Tuantuan's hand.

The two chatted as they strolled around, and whenever they saw an elderly person's stall, they would patronize it.

"Ee?" Bai Tuantuan's eyes lit up. She ran over to a stall, looked at the hairpins on display, and couldn't help but exclaim, "So unique, so beautiful!"

"Buy it if you like it." Ning Nanxiao walked over, picked out a silver hairpin, and inserted it into Bai Tuan Tuan's hair bun.

"Is it pretty?" Bai Tuantuan asked with a smile, touching the hairpin.

Ning Nanxiao chuckled softly, "It looks good. Tuantuan looks good in anything."

The woman who was making hairpins behind the stall suddenly looked up when she heard the word "Tuan Tuan".

At that moment, Bai Tuantuan turned her head, and the two looked at each other.

"Yuanyuan?"

Although Liu Yuanyuan had lost a lot of weight, her facial features remained unchanged, and Bai Tuantuan recognized her at a glance.

Liu Yuanyuan was also extremely excited. She stood up abruptly, tears streaming down her face. "Tuantuan... is that you? Am I dreaming?"

Bai Tuantuan hugged Liu Yuanyuan: "It's not a dream. I was planning to go see you tomorrow, but I didn't expect to run into you on the street today."

Liu Yuanyuan burst into tears of joy, and then quickly said, "Take whatever you like!"

As she spoke, she brought out the best hairpins she had made: "Do you like them, Tuantuan?"

Seeing that Liu Yuanyuan didn't seem troubled at all by setting up a stall outside, Bai Tuantuan felt relieved: "They're beautiful, they're beautiful. I'll accept your kind gesture. These are gifts from you, so I'll consider the rest as things I bought."

Bai Tuantuan quickly placed the silver into Liu Yuanyuan's box of copper coins: "Don't refuse! I didn't refuse you!"

Liu Yuanyuan looked up, her eyes red-rimmed. She knew Bai Tuantuan meant well.

"Thank you."

"Let's go get something to eat and have a good chat."

Bai Tuantuan helped Liu Yuanyuan pack her things: "Let's take you back first."

Liu Yuanyuan responded with a faint smile: "Okay, I live at No. 15 East Street, it's a 15-minute walk away."

"Ning Nanxiao, take these things."

Bai Tuantuan smiled at Ning Nanxiao, took Liu Yuanyuan's hand and said, "Let's walk ahead."

The stall wasn't heavy, but Liu Yuanyuan was still a little embarrassed. However, Ning Nanxiao didn't give her a chance to refuse and simply pushed the stall up.

"Let's go."

Liu Yuanyuan nodded and looked at Bai Tuantuan: "Tuantuan, I heard you've been made a princess, that's wonderful..."

"And you? How are you doing?"

Liu Yuanyuan smiled gently and said slowly, "After my parents and I came to Jinzhou, my father started a small business, and we made a living. Later, I married the son of one of my father's business friends, and we had a daughter and a son. Last year, my father-in-law's business ran into trouble, and he had to sell his property. Fortunately, my father helped, and my husband opened a small shop. I would make some hairpins to sell at night to supplement the family income."

Liu Yuanyuan's voice was calm and unhurried, but Bai Tuantuan was anxious: "Didn't I tell you to go to Erdong Restaurant if you had any problems? What's wrong..."

"Don't worry, Tuantuan," Liu Yuanyuan said slowly. "Our family is not in dire need of food. My parents-in-law are reasonable, and my husband and sister-in-law are very good people. Although our family is not rich, we are still doing alright. In addition, my father-in-law is broad-minded and is slowly opening up new avenues."

Along the way, Bai Tuantuan chatted with Liu Yuanyuan, and soon they arrived at Liu Yuanyuan's doorstep.

Although the house was not large, it was still a house made of blue bricks and tiles.

As soon as I went inside, two five-year-old children rushed over, crying, "Mommy! Mommy!"

Bai Tuantuan looked at the two children, who, although not dressed in fine silks and satins, were clean and tidy.

"Yuanyuan is back. Come and have something to eat. Are you tired?" A woman's voice came from inside, and soon a woman came out.

"Mom, these are my two friends," Liu Yuanyuan said with a smile. "Pearl, Ping An, quickly call them Auntie and Uncle."

The two children stared wide-eyed at Bai Tuantuan and Ning Nanxiao. Pearl couldn't help but exclaim, "Mommy, why did you bring the fairy sister and brother home?"

"Hahaha!"

Liu Yuanyuan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

After Bai Tuantuan and Ning Nanxiao greeted the old woman, she hurriedly welcomed them inside: "Come in and have something to eat. Thank you for bringing Yuanyuan back."

Liu Yuanyuan held Bai Tuantuan's hand and said, "Let's eat something at my house, then we won't have to go out and spend money."

Bai Tuantuan looked at Ning Nanxiao, who smiled and said, "I'll listen to you."

After sitting down, he spoke a few words with the old woman, who then learned that Bai Tuantuan was the person who had been corresponding with her daughter-in-law all along.

“Yuanyuan has been mentioning you to us. When the master was injured, it was Yuanyuan who brought out the medicine you sent. We are extremely grateful.”

A faint smile appeared on Bai Tuantuan's face: "Auntie, you don't need to be so polite. Yuanyuan and I are friends."

Just then, Liu Yuanyuan's husband and father-in-law returned.

After exchanging greetings and chatting for a while, Bai Tuantuan finally left.

After everyone watched the two leave, Liu Yuanyuan's husband said, "These two are no ordinary people!"

Liu Yuanyuan did not reveal their identities, but simply smiled and remained silent.

After leaving Liu Yuanyuan's house, Bai Tuantuan breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good to know that she's doing well."

Ning Nanxiao gently rubbed the little white ball's head: "Want to look around some more?"

"Um!"

Bai Tuantuan nodded: "I'm hungry! Let's go eat something!"

As soon as Bai Tuantuan turned around, she bumped into someone. Before she could apologize, a figure darted away!

Bai Tuantuan's lips twitched: "This little thief, he's pretty fast..."
