Chapter 35 Watching the Fun
Song Yanxi had already walked to the door when she heard the man's low "OK" behind her.
There is nothing else besides this.
It was as if nothing had really happened in the yard just now, and it was all her illusion.
Suppressing the strange feeling in her heart, Song Yanxi quickened her pace and left.
If she turned around, even just for a glance, she would not miss the obvious loneliness in Mo Jinchuan's eyes.
Looking at Song Yanxi's hurriedly leaving back until she disappeared, Mo Jinchuan suddenly raised a sarcastic smile at the corner of his lips.
As expected, she still avoided him.

An Yi had been waiting at the back door of Prince Jin's Mansion, with his hands stiffly raised. The beads in his palms glowed faintly in the moonlight.
Seeing Song Yanxi coming over, he instantly felt relieved and handed the beads forward, saying respectfully: "This is Miss Jiaojiao's apology to Miss Song. Please accept it."
"Apology?" Seeing the Night Pearl, Song Yanxi recalled their last meeting and couldn't help but laugh. "Miss Jiaojiao, you're too polite. It's just a small favor. There's no need for such an expensive gift."
"Just accept it, young lady. Miss Jiaojiao was thinking about it before she went to sleep. If she wakes up and finds out you don't want to accept it, I'm afraid..."
An Yi didn't continue to say the rest.
On the one hand, he wanted to save some face for his young master, and on the other hand, he was afraid that if he said too much, Song Yanxi would think that Jiaojiao was a child who was difficult to coax.
In fact, apart from being a little crybaby, the little baby is still very lovable.
As for being spoiled, there is only this one girl in the entire Prince Jin’s Mansion. Who else should we spoil if not her?
Song Yanxi originally wanted to refuse, but when she thought of the little baby's eyes that looked like rotten peaches from crying just now, she silently accepted it.
She pulled a porcelain bottle from her sleeve and handed it to An Yi, saying, "This contains a unique medicine from Medicine King Valley. It's very effective for falls. Please pass it on to the Third Young Master for me."
An Yi took it and smiled, saying, "If the Third Young Master knew that the young lady was thinking about him, he would definitely be happy."
Song Yanxi felt that there was something wrong with what he said, but she couldn't put her finger on what was wrong. She only told him, "If Miss Jiaojiao asks, tell her that I'm not angry with her for what happened before, and that I like the gift she gave me very much."
"Don't worry, young lady. I will convey every word to you."

Song Yanxi didn't feel anything when she came back last night, but when she woke up, her hands and feet felt weak as if she had been soaked in a vinegar jar all night.
She threw back the quilt and got out of bed. The moment her palm touched the quilt, she hissed in pain.
Turning it over, there was a scratch on the white and tender palm, most likely left by climbing a tree.
"Oh! How did the girl's hand get injured?" Zhuzhi just brought in hot water, and his face turned pale when he saw this.
Before she could say anything else, Song Yanxi lowered her voice and said, "Be quiet. It's just a minor injury. Don't alarm them."
Having said that, Zhuzhi acted as if she was facing a great enemy. She quickly put the basin of water on the shelf and went to get her medicine box.
Song Yanxi was very helpless, "It's just a minor injury, how could it be worth opening the first aid kit?"
Zhuzhi took out the bottom layer of the golden medicine and said without looking up, "Why is it not worth it? The girl's hands are precious and cannot be left with scars."
Unable to persuade her, Song Yanxi had no choice but to let her go.
As Zhuzhi applied the medicine, he muttered softly, "We just said that His Royal Highness Prince Jin treated the young lady differently, but we never thought he would actually cause her to get hurt. We really misjudged him."
Song Yanxi frowned slightly and asked, "What are you mumbling about?"
"Miss, you heard it wrong. I didn't say anything." Zhuzhi denied it flatly, her little round face puffed up with anger.
She has followed Song Yanxi since she was a child, and nothing can be hidden from her.
With just one look, Zhuzhi confessed without her having to ask any questions.
"Zhu Yu said that the dress the young lady wore last night was made of Tianxiang brocade."
Tianxiang brocade is famous for its bright colors. It is said that it was woven by skilled craftsmen using extremely fine gold and silver threads, which sparkles in the sun.
If it is made into a dress, it will shimmer and shine as the woman walks, which is very beautiful.
Due to its complex craftsmanship and limited production, it has only appeared in tribute lists in the past.
The reason why Si Genzhu knew this was because the emperor, mindful of the Yan family's achievements, had given a piece of Tianxiang brocade as a birthday gift to Mr. Yan a few years ago.
Neither the old man nor the old lady was willing to part with it, and finally the whole family unanimously decided to give the brocade to Song Yanxi, and it is now placed in one of the boxes of her dowry.
Zhuzhi secretly observed Song Yanxi's expression and asked tentatively, "Your Highness Prince Jin is so willing to spend so much on me, could it be that he has feelings for me?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Song Yanxi quickly pulled back her hand and scolded softly.
Recalling what happened last night, she bit her lower lip unconsciously, and a suspicious blush appeared on her fair cheeks.
Zhuzhi saw it all but didn't dare to say anything. He hurriedly helped his girl wash and dress.
She picked a light blue long skirt for Song Yanxi today, paired with a light white long gown, and the pearl crown on her head made her look tall and slender, and particularly refreshing.
Song Yanxi glanced at the beautiful girl in the bronze mirror and stood up leisurely. "Let's go. I'll take you to see something exciting today."
"How did you know there was something exciting to watch?" Zhuzhi's eyes lit up instantly.
She had been guarding the door all morning and hadn't seen anyone coming in or out. Could it be that her daughter was able to tell fortunes?
Song Yanxi just smiled and said nothing, "Prepare the gifts according to the ones prepared for Madam Xu's birthday banquet last year, and follow me out later."

From the general's mansion to the Zhou family's house, one has to cross half of the capital city, and the shaky carriage takes at least two hours.
When Song Yanxi arrived, everyone in the Zhou family was sitting in the flower hall having lunch.
When they heard that it was her who came, the two brothers who were already feeling very uncomfortable at the table turned even uglier in an instant.
Mrs. Zhou was very happy and quickly arranged for someone to go and invite them. She also said to Mrs. Zhou next to her, "My daughter has always wanted to introduce my sister-in-law to you, but she never had the chance. Today is a coincidence."
Madam Zhou glanced at Lin Tingye and said meaningfully, "It's really a coincidence. If your father hadn't suddenly felt unwell yesterday, you should be serving your mother-in-law now."
Lin Tingye smiled apologetically and said, "What are you talking about, mother-in-law? As a daughter, my father-in-law's health is naturally more important. My mother has the maids and servants to take care of her."
Mrs. Zhou smiled but said nothing.
At the beginning, she married her daughter to the eldest son of the Zhonglin family because he was handsome, well-read, and filial. She thought he would have a great future, so she married him.
Who knows, this is just a piece of shit with a shiny surface. Apart from the nice words he says, you can't expect anything from him.
Knowing that Song Yanxi's visit was definitely not a good thing, Lin Tingfeng hurriedly said, "Aunt, you don't know that the general's housekeeping is now in the hands of my eldest sister-in-law, and many matters still need to be decided by her when she returns."
"Is this really true?" Old Madam Zhou's expression softened considerably. She glanced at Zhou with a look of reproach. "Look at you, child. How could you not even tell your mother about such a major event as the head of the household?"
Zhou smiled bitterly and wanted to explain, but she caught a glimpse of a figure walking quickly towards the door.
At the same time, the woman's sweet laughter reached everyone's ears.
"Aunt, please don't blame my sister-in-law. It's my fault for this."
