Chu Youyang was embarrassed, then he tried to smooth things over by saying, "How unimpressive are the lanterns? I prepared a sky lantern for you, but according to the order of seniority, let your third brother release it first, and I will release mine later!"

Mo Xiao had a barely perceptible smile on his face, "Sister Jinrong, I haven't seen you for a while, are you okay?"

Although Chu Youyang didn't know Mo Xiao's feelings for Xue Jinrong before, how could he not understand after the lanterns were lit today? So he took Xue Jinrong's hand without saying a word, and said in a princely manner: "The prince and Jinrong will get married in March, and Mr. Mo is welcome to come and watch the ceremony!"

After saying that, he took Xue Jinrong's hand and was about to leave.

But Mo Xiao waved his hand, and Yang Zong stepped forward to block the two's way.

"Sister Jinrong, please spare me a moment to talk!" Mo Xiao had a tough attitude, with a hint of hostility in his eyes.

Xue Jinrong looked at him coldly, "Mr. Mo, it seems we have nothing to talk about."

Mo Xiao chuckled and said, "Sister Jinrong gave me a token of love back then, so why don't you have anything to say?"

Su Bei was stunned. Xue Jinrong looked like a cool guy, not someone who would do such a thing! Chu Youyang looked at Xue Jinrong with embarrassment, and Xue Jinrong's eyes were filled with anger. Su Bei couldn't help but stepped forward and said, "Mr. Mo, His Majesty has already granted them both a marriage, why are you saying this now?"

Mo Xiao glanced at her and snorted, "Ah Bei, I haven't asked yet. Qingying has divorced Prince Su. As a maidservant, why are you here instead of following her? Where is Qingying?"

"She gave me her indenture, so I'm no longer her maid!" Su Bei said word by word, "As for where she goes, I have no right to interfere!"

"Let's not talk about your business for now, but you have nothing to do with what happens between me and Jinrong!" Mo Xiao said coldly, then turned around and stared at Xue Jinrong, "Sister Jinrong, I was planning to marry you after I had made achievements in the army, but I heard that you were engaged to Prince Jin. Did he force you to do that? If so, I, Mo Xiao, will risk my life to make His Majesty take back his decision!"

Xue Jinrong felt Chu Youyang's hand loosen. She suddenly felt aggrieved and frowned, "Mr. Mo! I have no grudge against you! Why are you slandering me like this?!"

Before Mo Xiao could speak, Chu Younan said in a cold voice, "Mr. Mo not only didn't show courtesy to the two of us, but also used excuses to slander the royal family. I don't know what you rely on to be so arrogant?!"

At this moment, his aura was fully open, and even Su Bei felt that he was different from usual, with a super domineering charm, but Mo Xiao was not in a hurry and said: "Mo Xiao has a leg disease and cannot stand up to salute, please forgive me, Your Majesty, but I have known Jin Rong for many years, and I am very sad to hear that she married someone else. I forgot about it for a moment, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

He thought Chu Younan would be afraid of Mo Gaishi, and he thought his leg disease was a shield, but Chu Younan's eyes fell on Yang Zong, and he narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "You have a leg disease and it is inconvenient for you to be punished, so let your close guard take your place. Come on! Drag him back and give him thirty strokes of the cane!"

Mo Xiao clenched his fists in his sleeves, gritted his teeth but could not refute, so he could only look at Yang Zong from a distance.

Although Yang Zong was angry, he did not dare to disobey Chu Younan's wishes, so he had to follow Liu Yi who suddenly jumped out.

"Mr. Mo, I hope this kind of thing will never happen again. Jinrong is a good girl. If you really love her, you shouldn't ruin her reputation!" Chu Younan said condescendingly to Mo Xiao, winked at Chu Youyang, and then pulled Su Bei away.

Behind them, Mo Xiao sat in a wheelchair, looking gloomily at the lotus lanterns in the lake, the corners of his lips unconsciously rising.

After walking a distance, Chu Younan stopped and said to Chu Youyang, "Mo Xiao is obviously here to cause trouble, don't lose your composure!"

Su Bei agreed: "That's right! I can tell from the first glance that he has bad intentions. You two are getting married soon, so don't let your imagination run wild!"

Chu Youyang had calmed down, thinking back to the fact that he had just let go of Xue Jinrong's hand, he felt that this was a very childish act.

He took two steps forward and held Xue Jinrong's hand again.

Fortunately, Xue Jinrong was a straightforward person. Seeing that he did not misunderstand, he did not get angry.

Chu Younan calmly pulled Su Bei's hand. Just as Su Bei was about to break free, Xue Jinrong teased, "You were hugging each other by the lake before, but now you're being coy!"

Su Bei's eyes widened, "How can I be the same as you guys?" We are buddies, and you two are a couple, how can we be the same?

Chu Younan was stunned: Brother? Are you sure we'll sleep in the same bed? Are you sure we'll kiss? Are you sure we'll look at every inch of each other's skin? He felt that the confession had to continue!

So he walked and said, "Youyang, take Jinrong to the east of the city to play for a while, Abei and I will be there soon."

Chu Youyang lowered his head and laughed like a fool. He didn't know if he heard what he said. Suddenly he raised his head and shouted, "That's right! Wait for me for a while. I'll go see why my sky lantern hasn't been released yet!"

After saying that, he left Xue Jinrong behind and ran away.

This time, Su Bei confidently shook off Chu Younan's hand, walked up to hold Xue Jinrong, and said, "Let's go, let's go together, he will be back soon!"

Xue Jinrong glanced at Chu Younan and saw that his face was as black as iron. She pushed Su Bei and said, "You two can go together. I'll wait for him here."

"That won't work. What if we run into Mo Xiao later? Come on, let's go over there and try the glutinous rice balls there to see if they are as delicious as the ones in my store!" Su Bei said as he pulled Xue Jinrong away.

Xue Jinrong had no choice but to go along with her. On the way, he showed her his new Dongzhu bracelet, saying that it was obtained from Prince Jin and Concubine Mei.

Chu Younan followed behind in disappointment.

At a roadside stall, three people ordered three bowls of dumplings. Su Bei scooped up one and started blowing it with his pouty mouth.

She had dressed up carefully today, Chu Younan could tell at a glance, but he didn't know, was she dressed up carefully to go shopping with him, or did she have an appointment with Cheng Shi? He didn't dare to think too much, for fear of getting angry, so he raised the spoon in his hand and handed it to her, "I've blown it, you eat it."

Su Bei saw a spoon in front of her, with a white dumpling in it. Before she could react, Xue Jinrong smiled and said, "There's a candy man for sale over there. I'll go buy two. You guys eat them first!"

Xue Jinrong has always been impetuous. He disappeared before he finished speaking.

Su Bei looked at Chu Younan awkwardly, and suddenly blurted out, "Did you feed her and release sky lanterns for her like this before?"

The smell of vinegar...
