Upon hearing this, the old lady of the Lan Mansion looked at Si Jinxing and couldn't help but laugh: "Look, this guy is so shameless that he even calls me aunt!"
Si Jinxing pursed her lips and smiled, then turned her head to look at the door. She saw the maid opening the curtain and the man came in with the eldest lady Shen.
Seeing someone come in, she quickly sat up straighter from the old lady's arms.
She had just said behind that man's back that she would not marry him, and she felt a little uneasy, but she still pretended to be calm and glared at him.
As soon as Qi Moli entered the room, he saw his little girl leaning in the arms of the old lady of the Lan family with a cute and innocent look on her face, just like a little girl acting coquettishly in front of her elders.
He had never seen her like this before. She had always been alone and had no way out.
Qi Moli couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart. His little girl was finally no longer the only one who loved and protected her.
He strode forward, bowed to the old lady and said, "Greetings, Grandmother."
He is not arrogant at all!
Seeing this, the old lady hurriedly said:
"Ninth Prince, you are too kind. You and our Xing'er haven't even married yet. Isn't it a little early to call me grandmother?"
Si Jinxing looked up. Although the old lady was rejecting her, the smile on her face was obviously much deeper!
Qi Moli said:
"Now that our Xingxing has reached the age of marriage, marriage will be on the agenda soon. It won't hurt to announce it a few days earlier!"
As he spoke, he looked at the little girl beside the old lady.
Women are shy and timid when talking about marriage in front of their elders!
But unexpectedly, there was not a trace of shyness on the girl's face, only an expression of watching the fun and not minding the trouble!
The corners of his lips curved up, and at this moment, he really wanted to hug the little girl in his arms and knead her!
Si Jinxing received the man's gaze and could only smile and lower her eyes.
Who would have thought that the Jiu Yanluo, who was a murderer in the eyes of outsiders, was actually a man who was good at deceiving people!
Watching the two of them leave, the old lady sighed and said, "Girls should not be kept at home when they grow up!"
Madam Shen was very pleased and just advised:
"Mother, please don't be reluctant, Xing'er will get married eventually.
Instead of finding a mediocre and incompetent man, it is better to find one who can protect her.
On the way here just now, he told me that in the future he would only marry Xing'er, which would be in line with the rules of our family.
Now, we have returned to the capital, so we should keep an eye on the Ninth Prince.
If he does anything bad to Xing'er, our family will certainly not let it go!"
The old lady looked at the Ninth Prince today and found that he was not as arrogant as the rumors said. She just felt that the Empress Dowager had granted him the marriage too early!
Now after hearing what Shen said, I feel a little relieved. While she is still here, I must carefully consider the Ninth Prince!
Si Jinxing sat in the carriage and said with a smile:
"You know how to judge people by their appearance. You were not like that before in front of the old lady of the Si family."
Qi Moli took her soft, boneless hand and said, "You're such a chatterbox! This is called a sharp eye!"
He paused, and said with a hint of fondness in his eyes:
"Xing, happy birthday, our little money-grubber, you've been receiving betrothal gifts and coming-of-age gifts lately. Your small storeroom is almost full, right?
Today, I will take you to a fun place."
When Si Jinxing heard this, a smile appeared on her face.
In recent days, I have indeed received a lot of money, and I am really a little happy!
She lifted the curtain and asked curiously, "Where are you going?"
Qi Moli pulled the little girl who was clinging to the car window back, let her rest her head on his arms, and said:
"You've been busy for half a day, and there's still some distance to go. You should get some sleep first."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Si Jinxing yawned.
Si Jinxing smiled embarrassedly. She had forgotten that she had gotten up very early today!
Soon, she fell asleep in a daze, forgetting what she had agreed with Si Jinyue yesterday.
At this time, in front of the gate of the General's Mansion, Si Jinyue frowned and said to the newly replaced housekeeper:
"I am the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion. How dare you stop me from returning to my own residence?"
The new housekeeper saw that Princess Rui's face was slightly gloomy, but he was not afraid at all. In the general's mansion, the general still has the final say!
He smiled respectfully and said:
"Princess, please go back. The Second Miss is really not at home!
As for whether or not we can enter this gate, it was the general who personally gave the order, so please don't make things difficult for me, Princess."
Si Jinyue snorted coldly and said angrily:
"When I came this morning, you said she wasn't home. Now it's past noon, and you still say she's not home. Where could she have gone?"
The housekeeper frowned and said:
"The princess is the second young lady's biological sister, but she didn't know that our second young lady went to General Lan's residence to have her coming-of-age ceremony today?"
After he finished speaking, he covered his mouth.
Upon hearing this, Si Jinyue glared and said:
"Going to the Lan Mansion for my coming-of-age ceremony? Do you still want to save the General's Mansion's reputation? How could my father and the old lady agree to this? Are you setting me up?"
The butler did not explain, but simply said, "Princess, please do as you please."
Seeing this, Si Jinyue secretly cursed the new housekeeper for taking advantage of his power, but she had no choice but to get on the carriage.
Prince Rui's Mansion, Cuijing Pavilion.
Si Jinyue lay tiredly on the beauty couch, letting the maid massage her legs.
She went back to the general's mansion twice in one day, but was unable to enter the gate of the general's mansion!
She couldn't figure out what was going on and why her father's attitude towards her changed so drastically.
How is my mother's condition? Why hasn't my third sister sent any news?
She sighed deeply, but suddenly her eyes moved and she asked, "Chunzhi, have you been in contact with your aunt recently?"
Chunzhi, who was beating the legs, heard this and continued to move his hands. He responded with,
"No, didn't the princess say that just in case, I shouldn't have any contact with my aunt?"
Si Jinyue helped Chunzhi, who was kneeling on the ground and beating her legs, up and urged:
"Go now and invite Mother Lin to your house. I have something to ask her, go quickly!"
Chunzhi now realized that something must have happened since the princess encountered obstacles everywhere when she went to the general's mansion. Her aunt, Mother Lin, was on duty at Heyunyuan and must be able to bring out some news!
She quickly said, "Okay, I'll go to the General's Mansion again!"
As Chunzhi left, another maid in the room, Chunyu, walked in quickly from outside the door and said:
"Princess, the prince is coming towards our yard. I can see that he doesn't look very good!"
Upon hearing this, Si Jinyue sat up straight, calmed herself down, straightened her hair, put on a smile, and walked out of the room.
But just as she stepped out of the room, she saw Qi Nanyue walking into the yard with an angry look on his face.
She was shocked and said hurriedly: "Prince, you are here. Today..."
But before she could finish her words, the man grabbed her neck fiercely.
At this moment, Si Jinyue's heart was filled with fear. She felt the air in her chest becoming increasingly thinner...
But at this moment, his sinister voice came to my ears:
"I heard that you have been abandoned by Si Junshan?"
