Yuer did this in secret and didn't dare let his daughter know.

After all, she had just divorced and wanted her daughter to know that there was a shameless lunatic who was so bold as to think about her mother, and that the two sides lived so close to each other, right next door.

Yu'er was afraid that her daughter would kill him, so she specifically instructed Mrs. Hao not to let any news leak out.

She originally wanted to return the items, but her attitude of secretly refusing was so obvious.

Any gentleman should be sensible, understand the elegant meaning of music, and maintain the current surface peace.

She never imagined that these men were all scumbags.

After much difficulty, I finally caught the woman I liked. No matter whether she was married or had children, our Duke of Zheng has always been a man who doesn't care about trivial matters.

This man never cares about trivial matters and is always generous.

As usual, the Ministry of Personnel was given a mess to clean up in the court, but the Duke did not look relaxed when he returned home after the court session.

The man strode across the front yard, and the flowers and plants on the roadside that he usually didn't pay much attention to rarely attracted his attention.

The guards following behind the man saw him stop for a rare moment and look at the flowers and plants on both sides of the path.

The man's brows, which were usually relaxed all year round, were now filled with sorrow, and his deep eyes were filled with affection and worry.

The little maidservant in front of her who accidentally looked up felt her heart fluttering.

Our Duke is still unaware of this and is reflecting on whether he has been too rude.

The gift given is not elegant enough, not noble and flawless enough.

It is not often said that women like flowers, plants, plum branches by the roadside, and mountain scenery.

I just don't like the vulgar things he gave me.

Thinking of his wife's fair skin and flawless appearance, the Duke, who felt he had found the source, felt depressed.

In spring, where would the snow-proud plum blossoms come from to please the beauty and make her smile?

But it’s not a big deal. Although there are plum blossoms, there are still apricot blossoms, peach blossoms, and peonies.

With a plan in mind, it has to be said that men act very quickly.

He didn't bother other people's yards, but only found peonies in his own yard.

This peony is so good. Staring at the pink peony that he picked himself, the Duke, who is 30 years old, smiled like a fool.

The guards who were following him accidentally saw this and were shocked. They all lowered their heads and kept silent, unable to bear to look at his silly look any longer.

The Duke, who was in love, didn't care about all these things. Holding the beautiful pink peony flowers in his hands, he turned around and rushed to the villa without stopping.

Leng Qingxue returned to the Leng family.

Although Yu'er and Leng Siqian divorced and took their daughter to live with them, she never thought of hindering her daughter's contact with the Leng family.

Leng Siqian is a bit of a mean person. He used to quarrel with Yu'er every day, but they were not on good terms with each other.

The yard suddenly became quiet after the separation, and he was still a little uncomfortable.

This man was not in a hurry to marry the mistress of the house, not because he was nostalgic or sentimental.

But he was thinking about his son, his only precious son, and men think lightly of him.

Thinking back to when he and Yu'er had a disagreement over marrying off their daughter and divorced in anger, he regretted it.

Now it was a foregone conclusion that the fourth daughter would marry into the Marquis's Mansion in place of Qingxue. Leng Siqian was dreaming, thinking of reconciling the broken relationship and making amends.

The old man who was on leave took his daughter who came to visit him and talked to her about all sorts of things.

"In three months at most, your fourth sister will be marrying into the Marquis's Mansion. You don't need to go there anymore. Go back and discuss it with your mother.

I've already left the stairs, so why don't she come back? For your brother's sake, tell her not to be angry with me anymore."

Leng Qingxue opened her eyes wide. The sudden news made her brain confused for a moment, and it took her a while to process what was happening.

"Dad, what did you say? What did you say just now?"

Leng Siqian: "Tell your mother to stop being angry with me. You are an adult now, just give her a way out."

Leng Qingxue: "That's not it. You just said that Fourth Sister is marrying into the Marquis' Mansion. Is she willing?"

These words were rather unpleasant, and Leng Siqian's brows were stern and he acted like a father.

"What did your mother teach you? Do you think anyone can become the daughter-in-law of the Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion?"

"To be the future mistress of the Marquis's Mansion, how many people are envious of this good thing? You are just like your mother, you don't know what's good for you."

"Si Niang must be so happy to know this. She's having fun in the yard with her aunt. If you don't believe me, go and see."

Look, what a ghost.

There was no time to waste talking to her father, and Leng Qingxue didn’t stay home for dinner.

After saying goodbye to the confused Leng Siqian, he turned around and went home excitedly to share the sudden news with his mother.

The road in front of the gate of the wealthy family was not narrow, and Leng Qingxue, who was returning in a sedan chair, was about to arrive home.

She heard the sound of horse hooves getting closer and closer.

Driven by curiosity, the young girl lifted the curtain of the sedan chair a little and secretly looked inside.

Apricot blossoms are falling in someone's courtyard over the wall. Not far away on the opposite side, a handsome man is seen riding a tall horse, stepping on flying flowers, with a jade belt around his waist, running towards him at a high speed.

There were several guards following behind him, and it was obvious at first glance that he was someone not to be trifled with.

Leng Qingxue saw that the man was so handsome and imposing that she didn't dare to look at him anymore.

He originally wanted to lower the curtain and wait for the sedan chair to enter the house, but he never expected that the aggressive man would meet his sedan chair head-on.

Both sides put their efforts into it. As soon as the curtain on her side fell, she heard the sound of the strange handsome man tightening the reins.

Leng Qingxue, sitting quietly in the sedan, was still wondering if this person was the new neighbor.

The simple girl didn't think about anything else, and heard the rustling sound of clothes rubbing against each other.

Before she could react, clearer footsteps were heard.

Then, while she was sitting in the sedan chair, she heard a deep and cheerful male voice coming from outside the sedan chair, which made her heart tremble.

"What a coincidence! I was just about to visit my niece's mother when I ran into you at the door. Is it Qingxue?"

Ah, they mentioned my name, so it seems I’m not a stranger.

Qingxue thought it was an elder she knew, so she quickly lifted the curtain and bent down to come out.

The little girl didn't dare to look directly at the elder who appeared out of nowhere. She just felt that the face was strangely unfamiliar after a quick glance.

She bowed obediently and asked slowly.

"I don't know which uncle he is. Qingxue was unable to come and greet him. I hope you can forgive me."

The girl was very polite and courteous, and the man holding the flowers smiled without any hesitation.

"You've come at the right time. Why don't we go in together?"

The concierge had received the news early and would not let strangers in.

The gatekeeper was watching the man chatting happily with the young lady at the house.

He was dressed in a low-key and luxurious manner, and his temperament was different from that of ordinary people. No one dared to stop him and just let him in without knowing what was going on.

Yu'er was amused to see that the flowers in the garden were in full bloom and the spring weather was sunny.

Without wasting any time, I went to the pavilion to drink tea and eat some fruit to pass the time.

As soon as I sat down and the tea and snacks were served, I heard my daughter's happy chirping in the distance.

"Mother, my daughter is back."

It was the first time she came back so early. Yu'er didn't ask any questions. She turned around and smiled at her daughter who was flying towards her like a happy little bird.

A gentle smile appeared on his face when he saw an uninvited man behind his daughter.

The smile that had just appeared a short while ago suddenly faded away, leaving only embarrassment.
