Even Zhang Xinyue's father felt that Zhang Xinyue should accompany her younger brother and shouldn't let him go alone.

Zhang Xinyue didn't speak; she wanted to refute them with facts. Her brother glanced at her before he fainted.

That glance held joy, excitement, and longing, but no fear.

She felt that her brother's condition should be better than before. The reason her brother fainted was probably because he suddenly relaxed.

Her younger brother became nervous as soon as the Yun family boys arrived. He had been nervous for over an hour, and suddenly relaxing made him prone to fainting.

The fact that her younger brother hadn't eaten dinner made it even easier for him to faint.

A little over fifteen minutes later, Zhang Haocheng woke up.

As soon as Zhang Haocheng woke up, he started looking for Zhang Xinyue.

After finding it, Zhang Haocheng immediately looked at Zhang Xinyue excitedly and said, "Sister, I did it! I did it!"

The person who just criticized Zhang Xinyue: "..." I should have waited until Cheng'er woke up before saying anything.

Zhang Xinyue walked over to Zhang Haocheng and patted his head. "I wasn't lying to you, was I? You can do it."

"Yes." Zhang Haocheng nodded emphatically. "I can do it."

Are you hungry?

I'm hungry.

"Let's go eat then."

"good."

In the blink of an eye, the siblings were gone.

The elderly couple, Imperial Censor Zhang and his wife, and Zhang Xinyue's parents: "..." Is Yue'er angry with them?

Imperial Censor Zhang coughed twice: "Ahem! Let's go eat. Eldest daughter-in-law, Yue'er is all grown up now, it's time to dress her up. Tomorrow, go to the accounting office and get two hundred taels of silver to take Yue'er to the jewelry store to pick out some pieces of jewelry."

"Okay. Thank you, Father."

"Okay, let's go."

After finishing her meal, Zhang Xinyue chatted with her younger brother for a while before going back to her room.

As soon as she returned to the house, she saw her mother waiting for her.

Her mother tapped her forehead when she returned. "You're so brave! Aren't you afraid your little brother will get hurt?"

She was afraid, but if she didn't do this, none of the three of them would have a good life. Especially her younger brother. He was the eldest son, yet he had to live at the mercy of his half-brother.

Zhang Xinyue stuck out her tongue. "If someone else came looking for trouble, I definitely wouldn't dare let my brother go alone. They are children of the Yun family. The children of the Yun family were all taught by Old Master Yun. Children taught by Old Master Yun would never disregard the lives of others, and they would never bully others by taking advantage of their power."

Zhang Xinyue's mother thought about it and agreed.

But, "Why didn't you tell your mother? She was almost scared to death."

I'm afraid you won't agree.

"..." That's quite possible. "Your grandfather rewarded you with two hundred taels of silver and asked me to take you to buy jewelry."

Zhang Xinyue was delighted to hear this. "Could we exchange it for a book?"

"I knew you'd say that. Aren't all the books at home enough for you to read?"

"I have finished reading all the books in the house."

"What's the point of reading so many books? You can't become an official anyway."

"Reading can enlighten you."

"Okay, okay, we'll change it to a book, alright?"

"Thank you, Mother." Zhang Xinyue hugged her mother's waist and rubbed against her neck. "Mother, you're so good to me."

Zhang Xinyue's mother patted her hair. "Don't act on your own in the future."

“Good. Mother, the boys in the Yun family are really different from other boys. When I went to my brother’s place, I actually saw the boy in the lead wiping the mouths of the three youngest children.”

"Yeah?"

"Yes. After I went over, I heard him calling the three youngest children to drink water. Mother, who is that boy who is leading the group?"

"The eldest son of Duke Weiyuan."

"He's so considerate. I thought he was Yun Xiaoliu's cousin." Yun Xiaoliu's aunts' children all grew up in the Yun family. Children who grow up in other people's homes are generally more attentive, perceptive, and caring.

The Zhang family moved to the capital from elsewhere. By the time the Zhang family arrived in the capital, the Yun family had already gone to the border.

The Zhang family and the Yun family are not in the same social circle, and Zhang Xinyue is a girl. Therefore, Zhang Xinyue has only heard about the Yun family, but does not know anyone from the Yun family.

The mother and daughter chatted about Zhang Haocheng for a while before going back to their room to rest.

On the other hand, Sisi reviewed their lessons for exams twelve and thirteen, and told them what aspects of their behavior today needed improvement before letting them go back to sleep.

After they left, Sisi carried three rocking chairs to the yard to look at the stars.

More than half an hour later, the two rocking chairs for men were also occupied.

Ning Yirong looked at the three guys lying on the rocking chair and said dejectedly, "I am the Crown Prince, shouldn't you three give me your seats?"

Upon hearing this, Lao Bai immediately closed his eyes. "Huff... huff..."

Old Hei glanced at Ning Yirong. The implication was clear: This whole mess is because of you; how dare you even sit here?

Sisi glanced at Ning Yirong. "If you want a seat, bring it yourself. You expect me to bring you a chair just because you've made a fuss? No way."

"Okay, okay, I'll move it myself, alright?"

Ning Yirong moved a rocking chair and placed it opposite Sisi.

After putting it down, I felt something was off. "Why does this feel like a joint trial? Come on, everyone, let's form a circle."

As Ning Yirong spoke, he pulled on Lao Hei and Lao Bai's rocking chairs. It was impossible to expect them to move them on their own; the fact that they didn't stop him from moving them was already giving him face.

Soon, the four of them formed a circle.

Ning Yirong felt comfortable. "This is great. From now on, the four of us can sit like this. From what I've observed, Imperial Censor Zhang shouldn't have anyone behind him."

Old Bai said with his eyes closed, "I also think that old guy's brain is waterlogged. Huff... huff..."
