Chapter 471 News

Although General An maintains a seemingly neutral or ambiguous attitude towards the current disputes and undercurrents in the court, he must always remain vigilant.

After writing the letter to Fan Renlai, Xiao Xixi specially selected a smart and loyal guard to deliver the letter. She repeatedly instructed the guard to avoid possible spies and ensure that the letter was delivered to Fan Renlai in person, and not to let An Yueya or her forces detect any clues.

After arranging all this, Xiao Xixi seemed to be much more relaxed.

She began to stroll leisurely in the mansion, admiring the surrounding scenery.

This courtyard, which she had visited countless times, now glowed with new brilliance in her eyes.

It turned out that Qin Shu had made a lot of changes to the decoration of the mansion. Not only did she add many exquisite decorations, she also posted festive red characters and hung up strings of red lanterns. The whole mansion was filled with the joyful atmosphere of the upcoming wedding.

Soon, her eldest brother was about to get married, which was undoubtedly the most important wedding in the mansion in the near future.

Xiao Xixi imagined the scene of her eldest brother wearing a wedding dress and walking into the wedding hall holding the hand of a beautiful bride, and her heart was filled with anticipation and joy.

There was no custom in Daliang that the newlyweds could not meet before marriage, so when Xiao Xixi accidentally met Qin Qixuan and Wen Yanya who were getting along sweetly by the lake, she was not too surprised.

She looked at them from a distance, and a warm current surged in her heart.

As soon as Wen Yanya saw Xiao Xixi, a warm smile immediately appeared on her face. She was full of love for this lovely little girl, and every time she saw her, she couldn't help wanting to get close to her.

"Xixi, come here quickly, let your sister hug you." Wen Yanya called softly, her voice full of doting.

When little Xixi heard Wen Yanya's call, she immediately ran over with a smile and threw herself into Wen Yanya's arms without hesitation. Her small body looked so petite and so dependent in Wen Yanya's arms.

Qin Qixuan stood aside, watching this heartwarming scene nervously. He was afraid that little Xixi would not be careful and accidentally throw Wen Yanya into the lake. However, seeing Wen Yanya holding little Xixi steadily, his worries were slightly relieved.

"Brother, sister-in-law!" Xiao Xixi called sweetly, her voice was clear and pleasant, making people feel happy.

Wen Yanya blushed shyly when she heard Xiao Xixi call her like that. She lowered her head and gently stroked Xiao Xixi's hair, her eyes full of tenderness.

Qin Qixuan was also pleased with Xiao Xixi's words, his face was slightly red, but the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up, revealing a happy smile.

However, just when these three people were having fun and enjoying this warm time, an unexpected guest came to the Qin Mansion. This person was Zhao Shuoer, she looked hurried, obviously she came for something urgent.

Her hair and clothes were a little messy, and she looked like she had been running around. Although no one said it explicitly, the appearance of Zhao Shuoer did break the peaceful and warm atmosphere.

Recently, Qin Qixuan's wedding is imminent, and the Qin Mansion is filled with a festive atmosphere, but at the same time, the security of the mansion has been strengthened. The guards are strictly guarding, and no visitors are allowed to enter without prior notification. This is to ensure the smooth progress of the wedding and the safety of the people in the mansion.

However, at this special moment, Zhao Shuoer appeared in an unconventional way. Obviously, she encountered some emergency, so she felt that even the time to wait for the notification was a luxury, and she directly chose to climb over the wall to enter. This anxious behavior undoubtedly shows the importance of the news she brought.

When Zhao Shuo'er saw Qin Qixuan, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes. She hurried over, as if she wanted to tell Qin Qixuan the important information she knew immediately. However, when she saw Qin Xixi and Wen Yanya beside Qin Qixuan, his words were suddenly stuck in his throat.

Wen Yanya's presence seemed to catch Zhao Shuo'er off guard. She looked at her and for a moment she even forgot what she wanted to say.

At this time, Qin Qixuan spoke, breaking the awkward atmosphere and asked.

"Princess Shuo, you came here in such a hurry, is there something important?"

These words were like a flash of lightning, awakening Zhao Shuo'er from her daze. She came back to her senses and took a deep breath.

Yes, this is the real Qin Qixuan, the Qin Qixuan who always keeps a polite distance and only politely calls her "Princess Shuo". Zhao Shuo'er knows in her heart that if there is nothing particularly important, she may hardly have the opportunity to say a few words to Qin Qixuan in her life. The

Qin Qixuan who just had tenderness between his eyebrows and a smile on his lips, as if all the frost had melted, would only show that side to the Qin family and his fiancée Wen Yanya. That kind of tenderness is something Zhao Shuo'er has never seen before, and it is also something she cannot reach.

Jealous? If it were in the past, Zhao Shuo'er might feel deeply jealous. But now, her state of mind has changed.

Whenever she recalled her past obsession with Qin Qixuan, she still felt a dull pain in her heart. She admitted that she still loved Qixuan, but this feeling had been relieved. She no longer wanted to get him as crazy as before. A

myriad of emotions flashed through Zhao Shuo'er's heart, but in the end it turned into silence. She stood there quietly, her eyes moving between Qin Qixuan and Wen Yanya.

Wen Yanya saw that Zhao Shuo'er suddenly fell silent, and thought it was because of her presence.

So she spoke softly. "Princess Shuo, if you have something to discuss with Qixuan, I can step aside first."

Zhao Shuo'er was slightly stunned when he heard Wen Yanya's words, as if he didn't expect Wen Yanya to be so considerate to suggest stepping aside. A complex emotion surged in his heart, both gratitude and embarrassment.

To be honest, Wen Yanya still had a good impression of Zhao Shuoer. She felt that Zhao Shuoer was essentially a kind and pitiful person, but he just liked the wrong person and fell into a relationship that he could not reciprocate. Therefore, she did not want to make Zhao Shuoer feel embarrassed or uncomfortable. However,

even with such understanding and sympathy for Zhao Shuoer, when Wen Yanya saw Zhao Shuoer coming to Qin Qixuan, she still felt a little jealous. This subtle emotion was cleverly concealed by her and did not show on her face. She maintained a gentle and elegant attitude and spoke softly to Qin Qixuan.

"Qixuan, since Princess Shuo has something to talk to you about, I will leave first. You two can talk it over."

Qin Qixuan frowned after hearing what Wen Yanya said. He didn't want Wen Yanya to leave, and he didn't want her to misunderstand the relationship between him and Zhao Shuoer. So he held Wen Yanya's arm and said softly but firmly.
