Jing Qingyan is a kind-hearted girl with no guile; she wears her heart on her sleeve.

How could Sheng Lingwei not see through her little scheme?

Although Jing Qingyan was a few months older than her, she had experienced two different worlds. In front of her, Jing Qingyan was like a child, so she naturally doted on her and cherished her.

"Qingyan, your sister-in-law is going to the Southern Di Kingdom next. Would you like to go with her to broaden your horizons?"

"I..." want to go!

Jing Qingyan's eyes lit up. She wanted to nod directly, but then she felt it was inappropriate. She needed to get her grandmother's and mother's permission first.

So, he stared longingly at his two elders.

Madam Jing and Lin Jingyi exchanged a glance and sighed helplessly in their hearts. Their Qingyan was good in every way, but she was too dependent on them and too obedient and sensible.

"Yan'er, go if you want to. While you're still young, it's good to go out and see more of the world."

"Yan'er, I'm so glad you've taken this step. If I weren't so old, I would love to go out with you and see more of the world."

Jing Qingyan was overjoyed; her little face was beaming with happiness.

At this moment, Yuejiao seriously corrected Lin Jingyi, "Qingyun's mother, that's going too far. You can't say you're old in front of me and your mother-in-law."

Honestly, you're just like a child in front of me. Don't let your age limit you.

Since you also want to go out and see the world with Weiwei, let's be family and not stand on ceremony, so let's all go together!

In short, wherever your family is, that's home.

After saying that, Yuejiao asked Old Madam Jing with a smile, "Old sister, what do you think?"

Madam Jing was taken aback at first, then glanced at her daughter-in-law and grandchildren, and saw that they all looked at her with longing and anticipation.

She felt both amused and guilty.

She is an open-minded person and not one to stick to conventions.

However, due to various reasons, the Jing family members have been forced to stay in the Northern Qi capital over the years, which has been a hardship for them.

“My dear sister, since you’ve brought it up, I’m all for it. But we’ll have to trouble Weiwei with all of us.”

"What's the trouble?" Yue Jiao said frankly. "You all know that my darling has such a big space with everything in it. As long as we work hard, we won't bother Weiwei at all."

“Great-grandmother is right,” Sheng Lingwei agreed with a smile.

Yuejiao felt a sweet warmth in her heart. Having received affirmation from her beloved great-granddaughter, she spoke with even more confidence.

“My dear sister, Weiwei has reserved rooms for our whole family in the space. If we’re not used to living outside, we can just stay in the space.”

To be honest, I love living in this space; it's like a retirement paradise. It's just too lonely living alone. It would be great if you guys could keep me company.

Sheng Lingwei and her family of three: (?_?|||) So they're not human?

Never mind, don't be angry, as long as my old child is happy.

Having said all that, Old Madam Jing had nothing more to say and immediately made the decision, instructing the family to pack their luggage immediately and not to waste any time.

Although Vivi's mother had approved of the marriage, don't forget that Vivi also had a father who was the emperor.

Taking advantage of this trip to Nandi, I personally took Qingyun to visit him and finalize the marriage arrangements for the two children.

Oh dear, time is of the essence. She needs to take her two daughters-in-law to pack up the betrothal gifts that have been prepared in advance and bring them into Weiwei's space. They might be needed soon.

The Jing family quickly got to work.

Jing Qingyue asked Nangong Zichen to help her pack her luggage, and Nangong Zichen blushed with embarrassment.

"Qingyue, there's a difference between men and women. I won't go into your room. I'll go help Xie Chun pack his luggage instead!"

That's right, Xie Chun also went along this time. He is Jing Qingyue's maternal uncle and Xie Hui's younger brother.

If Jing Qingyun's maternal grandfather, Lin Qingliu, and Xie Chun's parents hadn't held official positions, they would have wanted to go along as well.

But their ambitions outweighed their desire to travel to the Southern Barbarians.

Lin Qingliu devoted himself to education and even wrote letters to recruit several of his most outstanding students to serve as teachers at the academy.

Xie Chun was completely infatuated with the position of Minister of Commerce that Sheng Lingwei had given him, and he spent every day thinking about what kind of business he could do to develop Yucheng County into the number one economic city.

Fortunately, he was a natural businessman, so these things didn't faze him. Instead, he enjoyed them and found value in the struggle he would spend the rest of his life with.

The Minister of Commerce is equivalent to the Minister of Revenue of a country!

Ha ha ha ha……

——Back to the main topic.

Jing Qingyue, hands on her hips, pouted unhappily, "Wuyou, are you still my brother? Didn't you want to learn business from me? I have a whole box of books in my room, almost all of them about business."

I was planning to ask you to help move the books, and then I'd pick out a few that you liked, but you kept telling me about the differences between men and women. You're simply unreasonable!

Incomprehensible?

Nangong Zichen felt wronged and opened his mouth to explain, but when he looked at the little girl who was a head shorter than him, he immediately deflated.

Enough. A real man can bend and stretch; how can he stoop to the level of a young lady?

Jing Qingyue looked at the acquiescent Nangong Zichen, smiled slyly, and then happily led him to pack his luggage.

Sheng Lingwei and Jing Qingyun, who were not far away, saw the way the two children were interacting and felt that something was off.

“Xiao Yunzi, apart from his own family, only Qingyue can completely control my brother. This shows that Qingyue holds a special place in his heart.”

Even Xie Chun, his good brother, couldn't easily make him compromise.

Jing Qingyun smiled helplessly, "Weiwei, I haven't paid much attention to how the two little ones get along before, but I know my sister well. Although she's carefree, she's very opinionated."

Even I, as the eldest brother, have never been to her room, yet she insisted that Wuyou go. This shows that she is closer to Wuyou than Wuyou.

Sheng Lingwei's eyes flickered, and her heart skipped a beat.

"Hey, Xiaoyunzi, you said the relationship between these two kids isn't just pure friendship, but something like that..."

Goodness, people in ancient times matured early.

Child husbands and wives are common occurrences, and the more Sheng Lingwei thought about it, the more certain she became of her guess.

Jing Qingyun frowned. "Weiwei, it's not impossible, but they are still young. In a few years, when they grow up, they will naturally understand their own feelings. We don't need to interfere."

Perhaps they're just interacting as good friends, and we're complicating things by viewing it from an adult perspective.

Sheng Lingwei nodded and smiled.

"Xiaoyunzi, you're right. I do like Qingyue quite a bit. If she could really become my sister-in-law, I'd probably be laughing in my sleep."

Jing Qingyun: "Weiwei, if you put it that way, wouldn't our two families become even closer through marriage?"

Sheng Lingwei's eyebrows and eyes curved into a smile.

"It would be wonderful if the two families could become even closer through marriage. I imagine our parents would be happy to see it happen. But let's not dwell on this for now. How the two kids end up is their own business, and we choose to respect that."
