Qin Yurou was choked when she heard this, but she couldn't think of any words to refute Qin Yanning.

After all, if she could really marry Brother Yuan An, according to seniority, she would really have to call Qin Yanning "little aunt".

Seeing Qin Yurou's resentful eyes, Qin Yanning crossed his arms and smiled, "Why don't you practice barking a few times tonight?"

Qin Yurou was furious. "We are still in the Qin family, so I should still call you Big Sister."

"Big sister is now engaged to the Prince Regent. I only hope that you can seize this opportunity and not hurt yourself."

Qin Yanning glanced at Qin Yurou and said, "Don't worry about that, sister. Just don't run away from your rich husband."

"Lanyue, let's go."

Looking at Qin Yanning's back, Qin Yurou's eyes darkened.

I don’t know what’s wrong with Qin Yanning recently. She suddenly became sharp-tongued. In the past, she always gave in to me.

But what she said made sense. Brother Yuan An always found excuses not to see her recently, so she wanted to find a way to meet him.

So what if Qin Yanning is so arrogant now? Shen Ziyu is just His Majesty's half-brother. When Brother Yuan An takes that position, they will all have to pay respect to him.

Qin Yanning didn't care about Qin Yurou's thoughts. She just wanted to go back and have a good sleep.

She was so tired after playing the role of a pure love-brained girl in front of that fox Shen Ziyu for a whole night!

Regent's Palace.

The lights in the study were bright, and Shen Ziyu was sitting at the desk looking through the letters sent by his subordinates.

A man in white was standing next to a small table, using bamboo tweezers to examine the candied fruit that Qin Yanning had stuffed into Shen Ziyu's mouth today.

After a long while, the man in white finally spoke, "Your Highness, Guanlan has finished the inspection. The package of candied fruit the Qin family girl gave you is not poisonous."

Shen Ziyu looked up at Guan Lan and said, "Since it's non-toxic, find a jar to store it in."

Xu Guanlan was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what his prince meant. What did he mean by pretending?

It was the young man Chang Yin standing behind Shen Ziyu who reacted quickly. He took out a small and portable glass jar from the cabinet and handed it to Xu Guanlan.

Seeing that someone understood what he meant, Shen Ziyu lowered his head again.

"When you're done, both of you can leave."

With Chang Yin's help, Xu Guanlan quickly transferred the limited amount of candied fruit into a glass jar.

The two of them retreated quietly.

As soon as he walked out of the study, Xu Guanlan let out a long sigh and thanked Chang Yin.

"Thank goodness Brother Chang Yin is here, otherwise I wouldn't be able to react to the prince's intentions."

Chang Yin waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's just a small matter."

Doctor Xu had only been in the palace for a few years, so naturally he didn't understand the prince's temperament as well as he had since he was a child.

Xu Guanlan asked quietly, "What does the prince mean by the gift he gave to the girl from the Qin family?"

Chang Yin knew that although Doctor Xu liked to pry into gossip, he was a tight-lipped person, so he lowered his voice.

"I guess the prince probably wants to keep it for himself."

Upon hearing this, Xu Guanlan couldn't help but widen his eyes. Although he had been with the prince for a short time, he entered the palace to help the prince detoxify.

In the past few years, he has seen the fate of many women who wanted to get into the prince's bed. How could such a cold-faced devil actually keep the candied fruit given by the little girl from the Qin family for himself?

Xu Guanlan felt that he could not sleep anymore. He had to study medical books carefully and try to cure the prince of the poison before the wedding.

It would be fine if the prince is not tempted, but if he is, but is unable to do so, I am afraid I will lose my head.

Chang Yin saw Xu Guanlan shrink his neck and thought that he didn't believe what he said, so he stopped talking.

That night, Shen Ziyu was busy in the study until dawn. After he finished writing the last reply letter and put down his pen, his eyes inevitably fell on the glass jar.

Something in his heart urged him to take out a candied fruit and put it in his mouth. Somehow, Qin Yanning's fair and delicate face appeared before his eyes.

Qin Yanning slept soundly and didn't wake up until almost noon.

Now Qingzhuyuan is full of her own people, and no one cares about her.

As for Zhou Xue, Qin Yanning didn't want to bother with her at all. Asking her to pay her respects was impossible.

After Qin Yanning woke up, Lan Yue carefully reminded her that Old Lady Qin had been worshipping Buddha at the White Horse Temple for a month and would be home tonight.

When Qin Yanning mentioned the original owner's grandmother who favored boys over girls, he was also furious.

Yan Xun injured his body after giving birth to the original owner and did not get pregnant for several years. Yan Xun wanted to take the initiative to find a good concubine for Qin Hongan, but was stopped by Old Lady Qin.

Yan Xun originally thought that it was her mother-in-law's love for her, but later she found out that this old hag had already planned to let her niece Zhou Xue marry Qin Hongan.

It would be more accurate to say that Zhou Xue didn't want Qin Hongan to have another woman around him rather than that Old Lady Qin didn't agree to take a concubine.

Qin Yanning had long suspected that Yan Xun's death was the work of Old Lady Qin.

After all, Zhou Xue was being raised outside by Qin Hong at the time, and no matter how long her hands were, she could not reach the Qin family.

Now that Old Lady Qin is back, she can use the nightmare doll she had prepared long ago on her.

She had already planned that in Old Lady Qin's dreams, Yan Xun would transform into various images that would scare and frighten her.

The power of the system props should not be underestimated. Qin Yanning is looking forward to how Old Lady Qin will react when she sees her former daughter-in-law who has been dead for many years in her dream.

After all, when Yan Xun was alive, she often mocked and criticized Yan Xun just because the original owner was not a boy.

Later, after the original owner married Shen Yuanan, she often advised her to tolerate Qin Yurou's provocations because Qin Yurou had two younger brothers.

Even if she wasn't the one who killed Yan Xun, this old lady Qin wasn't a good person either.

When Lan Yue saw that her young lady was silent, she knew that she was daydreaming again.

"Miss, the master asked you to go to their courtyard tonight and have dinner with the old lady."

Qin Yanning's hand paused while choosing jewelry, and finally landed on a pair of filigree gilded butterfly earrings.

"Go tell my dad that my grandparents already asked me to come over tonight, and I won't disturb their fun."

Qin Yanning relied on the fact that her marriage with Shen Ziyu was already arranged and didn't want to flatter the people of the Qin family at all.

Instead of having dinner with the whole family and performing the family reunion drama, she might as well go to Yan's house and play mahjong with her grandmother and aunts.

That night, Old Lady Qin, who had just returned from the White Horse Temple, had a nightmare. In the morning, when Qin Yanning went to pay her respects, she still had two huge dark circles under her eyes.

Originally, Qin Yanning didn't want to ask for greetings, but Lan Yue told her mysteriously early in the morning that the old lady had been making a fuss in the courtyard all night.

"I heard that the old lady called Madam's name in her dreams, and she said that it was not her fault."

The Madam that Lan Yue was talking about was naturally Yan Xun.

After hearing this news, Qin Yanning decided to go to the old lady's courtyard to join in the fun.
