As soon as he finished speaking, Song Ruoan, who had heard the commotion at the door, also rushed out of the Marquis's residence in a hurry.
She looked at the red invitation card with gold lettering in Song Xizhi's hand, her expression anxious: "Father, where is my invitation card?"
Song Juncai sighed: "Where did you get the invitation? You're coming with me!"
Upon hearing this, Song Ruoan recalled He Jingyan's unparalleled beauty, and her heart ached even more.
She stomped her foot in resentment: "So what if she relies on a man? What's so great about that!"
Song Xizhi didn't hear Song Ruoan's sarcastic remarks. At this moment, she had already run back to Ximoxuan, wanting to thank He Jingyan properly.
She placed the gold-embossed invitation in front of He Jingyan and asked with great curiosity, "I didn't expect that it was the people from the Astronomical Bureau who came forward in person to let me get this invitation."

Song Xizhi opened his mouth, wanting to ask a question, but then he heard He Jingyan's deep, mellow voice.
He looked at her intently: "Did you bring that jade hairpin?"
Upon hearing this, Song Xizhi couldn't help but smile. She pointed to her bulging chest and said, "All my belongings are here. I can't bear to wear them."
