"Are you guys...about to have something good happen?" The lady next door was wearing a dark grey cloth shirt, and her long hair with a few white strands was casually tied up behind her head with a wooden hairpin, her face full of curious gossip.
"What good news is coming?" Aunt Pei's loud voice suddenly rang out in confusion.
The two of them quickly let go.
The old lady next door turned around with a gossipy smile on her face and explained to Aunt Pei, who was carrying a basket on her arm behind her, "Your family's Yanli and Sisi, I think they are a perfect match and they are in love with each other."
After saying that, she turned to look at Pei Yanli and asked, "When are you going to have your wedding?"
"Thank you for your kind words." Pei Yanli smiled and looked at Li Sisi. "I will try my best to make Sisi accept my feelings as soon as possible."
Aunt Pei walked over with a frown, her eyes moving between Pei Yanli and Li Sisi, and finally she accepted her fate and did not refute it.
He just looked at Li Sisi and said, "I just came out of your house. Nian Nian left you some ice watermelon and fruit tea."
Li Sisi's face showed a hint of embarrassment, and she said a little embarrassedly: "Then I will go back now."
The old lady next door came over, her eyes narrowed into slits with a smile: "Oh, Sisi, I watched Yanli grow up. He is not only handsome but also a high-ranking official! Aunt Pei treats you and Nian Nian like her own daughters. If this marriage really goes through, it will be a perfect match!"
Pei Yanli saw Li Sisi becoming increasingly embarrassed, and quickly stepped forward to help: "Auntie, let her think about the matter between Sisi and me slowly."
Hearing this, Aunt Pei frowned and snorted, "Don't just talk, you have to take some real action. I treat Sisi like my own daughter. If you dare to let her suffer any injustice, I will not forgive you!"
Hearing this, Li Sisi raised her eyebrows towards Pei Yanli, as if to say, "Did you hear me? Don't let me suffer any injustice in the future."
Pei Yanli looked at her lively and beautiful eyes and curled his lips into an ambiguous smile: "Well, I will definitely not let her suffer any injustice."
The woman next door, eager to watch the fun, continued to dig into the situation with a gossipy look on her face. She leaned close to Li Sisi and asked quietly, "Sisi, when did you and Yanli start this relationship? When did he express his feelings to you?"
Li Sisi was so embarrassed when someone asked her gossip in person that she dug her toes on the ground.
His eyes flashed, and he turned around and said anxiously, "Well, I have to go back quickly, otherwise Nian Nian will be worried."
When the lady next door saw Li Sisi leave without a trace, she turned her attention to Pei Yanli again.
Pei Yanli frowned, his face serious: "I still have some documents to deal with, please do as you please, Auntie."
After saying that, he quickly turned around and strode towards his home.

A gust of summer breeze with moist moisture blew over the lake surface covered with drizzle. On the pavilion facing the water, the club's newly arranged Lingbo dance was performed. The dancer in the emerald green dress danced on the water like a fairy from the green lotus.
The various lights and candles reflected the rugged ripples on the water below, and the shimmering light shone with the brilliance of broken stars.
The musicians played stringed instruments and guqin, and the celestial music came out through the ethereal sound of water.
In the hall of the pavilion, noble families raised their glasses and drank to the accompaniment of beautiful music, blessing the prosperity and eternity of their families.
The banquet headed by the prince reached its peak of vision and taste with the addition of a plate of pastries.
The prince wore a loose yellow brocade robe, holding a glass wine cup between his two fingers and shaking it slowly. Beside him, a handsome man in a light red brocade robe had a flushed face and clung to the prince's shoulders and neck, his bright pink lips eagerly approaching the glass wine cup in the prince's hand.
The prince's lips curled up into an indulgent smile, and he tilted his head back to drink the milky white liquid in the glass wine cup.
For a moment, her eyes were distracted and obsessed. She pinched the chin of the handsome man next to her, and while their lips and teeth were intertwined, she sent the liquid in her mouth into the handsome man's mouth.
Xiao Yunchen sat in the second seat below.
According to his official position, he should not have sat here. I don't know who intentionally arranged him to sit with another young master in the clan.
He relied on the fact that he and Xiao Yunchen were of the same clan, and he moved closer to Xiao Yunchen and whispered, "Brother Yunchen, why are you resisting like this? Look, everyone is happy after taking this magical medicine."
Xiao Yunchen felt a tingling sensation all over his body, as if being gnawed by countless ants. Meanwhile, his fellow clansmen kept kindly admonishing him, "Now that you've gotten your hands on this divine beauty, you'll never be able to leave her. It's better for you to follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. From now on, you'll have both the divine beauty and the beauties at your disposal."
After the Qinglian Dancer finished her dance, she twisted her slender waist and came to the sides of the masters in the hall very consciously.
Several dancers had long taken a fancy to Xiao Yunchen, who had a gentle and jade-like temperament, and rushed forward to serve him.
Xiao Yunchen's eyes were already red from being tortured by Sai Shenxian, and now he was suddenly sandwiched between two strange women, one on the left and one on the right.
Noticing the two dancers leaning over, Xiao Yunchen felt an immense wave of disgust in his heart, and he picked up the cups, plates, and wine glasses on the table and threw them at them.
"Get out! Get out!"
Xiao Yunchen's eyes were filled with gloom as he looked at the ridiculous people and things in the room, and he only hated himself for not being cautious enough.
He had been on guard for a lot, but he never expected that his father would ask him to attend such a party!
There was a brave dancer who spoke in a soft voice, bewitchingly: "Sir, why are you so stubborn? As long as you are willing, I can make you as happy as a god in no time."
Another male voice followed suit, "Brother Yunchen, why don't you put aside your prejudices and enjoy life with everyone? The elixir and the beauty are right before your eyes, waiting for you to enjoy them."
At this moment, Xiao Yunchen felt a hand climbing up his chest, and his mind was so confused that he couldn't tell who it belonged to.
He suddenly picked up the delicate dish on the table and smashed it into several pieces with a "bang", holding a piece of broken porcelain in each hand.
The pain brought him clarity of mind for a moment.
He quickly took the opportunity to get up and staggered out.
The others behind him were stunned for a moment, and then quickly shouted to the guards to catch up.
"Catch him! Don't let him go back!"
The drizzle outside the pavilion fell on Xiao Yunchen's flushed face. The noble young man, who was originally as gentle as jade, was now red all over, and his handsome face was twisted and hideous because of his forbearance.
The palms of his hands were cut by porcelain shards, and bright red blood dripped through his fingers, but the pain was decreasing, and the feeling of being like a god began to prevail again.
No compromise! Even if it means death, no compromise!
Xiao Yunchen's red eyes saw that the blue water on your forehead was reflected in gold by the candlelight, rippling with golden ripples.
The loud shouts from behind filled his eardrums, making his already unclear mind even more hazy. In his anxiety, he jumped into the lake without hesitation.
The cold lake water soaked his whole body in an instant. The itchiness like ants gnawing on his body subsided a little, and the pain in his palms seemed to come back faintly. Xiao Yunchen's hazy mind gradually became clearer.
