Xi Shiyan's face darkened instantly, and he managed to utter two words, "You go meet the guest for me."

Xi Shiye did not refuse and agreed.

The next day.

Ning Yu got up early. After the maid dressed her up, she said, "I have something to ask my eldest cousin."

She has figured it out now.

Why continue to torture me?

Anyway, she needs to find a husband and have children in this small world to complete the system's task, so she might as well choose her cousin.

As for her second cousin, she had never considered him.

When Xi Shiyan learned about this, his eyes were filled with joy as he heard a steady knock on the door.

A voice was mixed in, "My cousin is here."

"Enter."

Ning Yu listened to the magnetic and slow voice coming from the door, slowly pushed the door open and walked in, lowered his brows, and saluted the man, "Hello, cousin."

Xi Shiyan raised the corners of his lips, making people feel like they were bathed in spring breeze. "Cousin, what's the matter with you calling me here? This is the first time you've taken the initiative to come to me."

"I promise you." Ning Yu went straight to the point without saying anything extra.

Xi Shiyan thought he had misheard and was stunned for a while. A look of ecstasy flashed across his handsome face, and he could hardly contain it.

"Cousin, are you really willing to marry me?"

"...Yeah." Ning Yu nodded gently, "Since I've already promised you, can you let me go?"

Xi Shiyan thought that Ning Yu was worried about Ning's father and mother, and the joy in his heart faded. He pursed his lips and said, "I'll take you back."

Ning Yu nodded and didn't linger any longer.

Xi Shiyan thought of his cousin's indifferent expression, with no trace of joy on her face, and the joy in his heart disappeared without a trace.

He didn't know when it started, but he hadn't seen Ning Yu smile for a long time.

But if he was asked to let go, Xi Shiyan was unwilling to do so!

Xi Shiyan suppressed his fluctuating emotions and ordered, "Go prepare the car."

After a while, Ning Yu and Xi Shiyan got on the carriage and slowly drove towards the Ning family.

There was no speech along the way.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the Ning family.

Ning Yu couldn't wait to get off the carriage, and only felt a sense of relief when he saw the mansion standing in front of him.

Xi Shiyan got off the car right after him.

The servant was stunned for a moment when he saw Ning Yu, then ran in and shouted, "Madam! The eldest lady is back!"

After a while, Ning's mother hurried back, followed by Ning Ying. They saw Ning Yu standing there, with a graceful and elegant figure, seemingly without any torture.

Ning's mother's eyes suddenly turned red, and she hugged her, "Yu'er, it's good that you're back, it's good that you're back..."

Ning Ying's nose turned red, and her voice choked with sobs, "Sister Yu, ever since my parents found out you were missing, they haven't been able to sleep at night..."

Ning Yu smiled and said comfortingly, "Mom, Sister Yu, I'm fine. Thanks to my cousin for saving me."

In order not to worry Ning's mother, she could only say this.

When Ning's mother saw that it was Xi Shiyan who had brought Ning Yu back, she began to like him and invited him in. "Thank you, sir, for saving my daughter."

Thinking about the fact that Xi Shiyan sent someone to inform the master last night that his name had been crossed off the list, he felt extremely grateful.

Xi Shiyan's lips curled slightly, his whole body exuding a noble demeanor, and his expression was sincere, "I have a favor to ask of you. I hope that the cancellation of the engagement can be cancelled and a date can be set as soon as possible."

Mother Ning's expression changed slightly. She glanced at Ning Yu and saw that she had her eyelids drooped and her cheeks were flushed.

Ning's mother immediately understood.

Mother Ning nodded slowly, a smile on her lips, "I need to discuss this matter with the master."

At this moment, a charming voice suddenly came, "Master Xi, I have something to present to you."

Ning Xianxian walked over slowly, looked at Xi Shiyan's handsome face, smiled slightly, twisted her waist and saluted, "Greetings, Master Xi."

When Ning's mother saw that it was Ning Xianxian who came, she frowned and shouted angrily, "Get out of here!"

What kind of tricks is this concubine trying to pull? !

Ning Xianxian was not afraid at all. When she presented this thing, Xi Shiyan would definitely look at her with admiration.

Ning Xianxian asked someone to present the things and lifted the red cloth. Under the sunlight, the things looked crystal clear and sparkling.

Ning Yu's eyes lit up and she looked very beautiful.

I heard from the system that Ning Xianxian was from the modern era. I didn’t expect that there were such beautiful things in that world.

I wonder if she has the chance to go?

Ning Xianxian felt the surprised looks around her and said proudly, "This thing is called glass."

Xi Shiyan, however, had a cold expression and showed no interest. He walked past Ning Xianxian and said goodbye to Ning's mother.

Ning Xianxian clenched her fists, feeling extremely embarrassed and angry. She never expected Xi Shiyan to ignore her directly!

Ning Xianxian couldn't help but run over and lowered her voice, "I know how to make a weapon with great lethality..."

Xi Shiyan paused slightly, a hint of surprise flashing across his eyes.

His eyes slowly fell on Ning Xianxian, who looked like just a weak woman.

He actually had some impression of Ning Xianxian, because she made a lot of novel things that were sought after by everyone.

But in his eyes, it was nothing more than that and was of no use to him.

Leave soon.

Ning Xianxian looked at the tall figure of the man as he left, his body slender and his clothes fluttering in the wind.

The anger at being ignored also dissipated.

Once she presents the recipe to him, he will definitely understand!

After Xi Shi arrived at the mansion, he thought of Ning Xianxian's crazy talk and immediately called Ling Yi and ordered, "Go check on Ning Xianxian immediately..."

Ling Yi bowed, "Yes!"

Ning Mansion.

After Xi Shiyan left, Ning's mother immediately sent someone to lock Ning Xianxian in the yard and let her reflect on herself for a month.

You even want to hook up with Xi Shiyan?

Even Yu'er was able to get engaged to the Xi family because of the life-saving grace, let alone a concubine's daughter?

Ning's mother didn't want to care about Ning Xianxian anymore. Thinking of Ning Yu's lifelong affairs, she asked softly.

"I'm asking you, are you sure you want to marry him? If you don't want to, I'm willing to refuse despite my old dignity."

Ning Yu lowered her eyelids, her thick eyelashes covering her emotions. The corners of her lips raised, and she pretended to be shy and said, "Mom, don't worry. If it weren't for my eldest cousin who saved me, I probably would have..."

When Ning Yu's mother saw her sweet and shy look, she quickly made a decision with Ning's father and set the wedding date with the Xi family.

In the following days, Xi Shiyan sent people to deliver various gifts, almost filling up Ning Yu's yard.

In order to avoid arousing suspicion, Ning Yu accepted it.

Xuan'er felt strange when she saw that the young lady had never touched the pearl hairpin and clothes that Xi Shiyan had given her, but she didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Time passed slowly and soon the wedding date arrived.

For this wedding, the Ning family specially purchased a mansion in the capital to facilitate Ning Yu's marriage.

Ning Yu let her elder brother Ning Jin carry the bright red sedan chair on his back, and they finally arrived at the Xi family with music and drums playing all the way.

A pair of white and powerful fingers lifted the car curtain, and Xi Shiyan picked up the person horizontally, with his big hands firmly resting on her slender and graceful waist.

Ning Yu's vision was mostly blocked by the veil. As she stepped over the threshold, she caught a glimpse of Xi Shiyan's face, which was faintly pale.

As white as if there is no sunlight.
