"Father, Mother, it's getting late, you should get some rest."

"Tonight I'm sleeping with my two younger sisters, and the three of us sisters will have a good chat."

"Okay, go ahead and praise them."

Su Yujiao said she was going home to take care of her child.

"It won't make a difference if it's one more night; the two children are already asleep."

"You're sleeping with me tonight."

Su Yujiao laughed and said, "Aren't you afraid Brother Gu will be angry if you don't go home?"

“He won’t get angry. He spends his days reading books. With books to keep him company, he doesn’t even need to eat.”

Su Yujiao and Jin Mudan couldn't help but laugh as they listened to her complaints about Gu Heng.

Although Lu Ziwei was complaining, it was easy to tell from her expression that she was saying one thing and meaning another.

Judging from her increasingly fuller figure, you can tell she's living a very happy life.

"Jiaojiao, on behalf of your parents, let me ask you this: have you ever considered getting back together with my seventh brother?"

“I heard from my aunt that the Emperor has revealed that he will pass the throne to the Crown Prince after the New Year, and he will retire to enjoy his old age.”

"Now that the overall situation is settled and there's nothing or no one to stop you, why don't you consider giving Lao Qi another chance?"

"After everything you've been through together, you're like a lost treasure to him. Now that you're back together, he'll definitely cherish you even more."

"And you also have feelings for him. Don't deny it. Anyone who isn't blind can see that you still like him."

“When you truly sever all ties and break off all love, the way you interact after the divorce won’t be like that. At most, it’s just a quarrel between husband and wife.”

"If you can still sleep in the same bed after a divorce, who would believe you don't love each other!"

"Stop being stubborn."

Su Yujiao blushed at Lu Ziwei's words; she didn't want to sleep in the same bed with Lu Ziqian after the divorce.

Isn't that a helpless move made when things are urgent?

Jin Mudan also spoke up: "Jiaojiao, I also think you can consider it."

“Lu Ziqian has feelings for you, and the Lu family is a kind family. It’s not easy for a woman to live alone. She still needs a man to rely on.”

Su Yujiao was silent for a moment: "I don't want to think about these things for now."

"I cannot have peace of mind until Chen Yunniang and Chu Zhongyuan are eliminated."

"You may think the situation is settled, but in reality, danger still exists."

"Let's deal with these trivial issues after the crisis is over."

"Jiaojiao, stop running away..."

"Go to sleep, I'm so sleepy."

Su Yujiao turned over and went to sleep.

Lu Ziwei was about to say something more when Jin Mudan stopped her with a look.

Since she doesn't want to continue this topic, don't press her further.

Lu Ziwei sighed and didn't press the matter further. Instead, she chatted casually with Jin Mudan.

"Jiaojiao, are you asleep?"

Has Ziqian written to you recently?

"The Lunar New Year is just around the corner, will he be able to come back in time for the holiday?"

Su Yujiao yawned and mumbled sleepily, "No."

"I don't know either."

Before we knew it, it was the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month. The market was filled with joy and bustling activity.

The New Year's goods stalls are filled with a dazzling array of products, including couplets, lanterns, candies, pastries, and firecrackers.

The stall owners shouted loudly, and every household was carrying large and small bags of goods. The children were all beaming with excitement.

Su Yujiao personally took her two children to buy New Year's goods, letting them experience the warmth and joy of everyday life.

The two children were as happy as little monkeys, jumping up and down, looking around. If you weren't careful, their little figures would disappear into the crowd.

Su Yujiao regretted bringing them out. Taking care of children is really not easy. Now she has to be extra careful to make sure the two children don't get lost in the crowd.

"Mommy, buy some candied hawthorns."

"Mommy, buy some sugar figurines."

"Mother, buy firecrackers."

"Mommy, buy a floral dress."

"Buy, buy, buy! Don't wander off!"

Su Yujiao felt like she was fighting a war when she took her child to the market, and she was completely exhausted when she got home.

Lu Ziqian had not returned on New Year's Eve, but the courtyard was not deserted.

The Crown Prince arrived with his two little princesses, as did Lu Ziwei and Gu Heng, and Jin Mudan was naturally among them.

Just like last year, Su Yujiao prepared a table full of delicious and colorful New Year's Eve dinner, and everyone enjoyed the meal.

Apart from Lu Ziqian and Mo Lingchen being absent, everything else went perfectly.

But this slight disappointment was quickly dispelled by the fireworks.

Looking at the children's happy smiles, Su Yujiao felt that this was what a happy life should be like.

"Sister-in-law, come here for a moment." Chu Qingyin whispered to Su Yujiao, pulling her aside.

"What's wrong?"

The little princess seemed a little embarrassed, her cheeks flushed, and she hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Sister-in-law, I want to ask you a question."

"Go ahead and ask."

"Sister-in-law, I want to know how I should express my feelings to someone if I like them?"

Su Yujiao stared wide-eyed at the little princess's shy expression, only then realizing that the little princess had reached the age of falling in love and was experiencing her first stirrings of affection.

"Which young master does the princess like?" she couldn't help but gossip.

Upon being asked this question, the little princess blushed instantly and was too shy to speak.

"It's okay, I promise I won't go around telling anyone."

"Besides, how can I give you advice if I don't know who the other person is?"

The little princess lowered her head and said in a voice barely audible, "It's...it's Young Master Pei."

"Which Young Master Pei?"

"Pei Yuanshao!"

Pei Yuanshao?

Oh, I remember now. He was one of the four famous young masters in the capital. He was indeed handsome and dashing, the dream lover of every woman in the capital.
