“Brother, Yuan’er has never been to the market before. Take Yuan’er with you.”
An looked back at Yuan'er's expectant eyes and couldn't bear to refuse her.
Before her brother could speak, Cuizhen couldn't help but interrupt: "Brother is buying things for me, not for you. Anyuan'er, why do you always have to interfere, like an annoying tagalong?"
An Huai frowned at Cui Zhen's words.
An Yuan'er casually brushed aside the stray hairs on her forehead, revealing a faint glimpse of the wound there.
She didn't say a word, but just smiled knowingly.
Cuizhen was already feeling guilty, so she immediately backed down!
She knew An Yuan'er had warned her not to talk too much. She thought resentfully: I've been tricked! Now that An Yuan'er has her by the throat, she can no longer... On the surface, she only agreed to one thing from An Yuan'er, not to force her brother to stay, but in reality, she has to listen to her in everything.
As expected, An Yuan'er's seemingly innocent and naive appearance was just an act. She was a cunning girl.
"Cunning, liar, bad guy," Cuizhen muttered, cursing An Yuan'er.
An Huaishou didn't hear clearly: "Zhen'er, what did you say?"
Reluctantly, Cuizhen could only change her mind: "Since An Yuan'er has never been before, let her go with us."
An Huishou was clearly pleased with Cuizhen's change, and he said with relief, "Zhen'er should get along well with Yuan'er."

When we went to the market in the afternoon, we took a horse-drawn carriage.
An Chaoli hired a driver to drive the carriage, so the four of them sat together inside.
Cuizhen immediately took a liking to the snow fox cushion An Yuan'er was using; it looked so soft. Unfortunately, no matter how much Cuizhen stared at it, An Yuan'er didn't offer it to her.
An Yuan'er nestled on the snow fox cushion, sleeping with her little body curled up and her head buried in it.
An Chaoli looked at Cuizhen with curiosity and asked, "Is this Cuizhen's first time riding in a carriage?"
Cuizhen was quite obedient in front of the adults. She nodded and said, "Yes, Uncle An. In the past, Cuizhen and her brother would go to the market in an oxcart."
"Uncle An, are there many new and interesting things in Shengjing that I've never seen before? Zhen'er has never been there before!"
An Chaoli observed that the little girl was innocent and it was normal for her to like the unknown.
So he politely replied, "Cuizhen will definitely have the opportunity to go to Shengjing in the future."
An Chaoli was just being polite, but Cuizhen seized the opportunity to say, "If only Cuizhen could go to Shengjing with her brother, that would be wonderful."
An Chaoli did not respond immediately, pondering the feasibility of the matter.
An Yuan'er, who had been sleeping, suddenly opened her eyes.
Cuizhen was quite clever; after An Yuan'er made her promise not to stop her brother from going home, she actually started thinking about going with him.
An Yuan'er has a bad temper. The only reason she has tolerated Cui Zhen's behavior these past few days is because of Uncle Yan and Aunt Yan's kindness and the good they have done for her brother. If it were anyone else, An Yuan'er would have been much less polite.
“Brother is gone. Uncle Yan and Aunt Yan only have you, Cuizhen, as their daughter. As the saying goes, ‘While parents are alive, one should not travel far.’ Cuizhen should be filial to her parents first. This Shengjing may be prosperous, but it can’t compare to the joy of having your parents by your side.”
Filial piety is highly valued by people. An Yuan'er used filial piety to pressure her, and Cui Zhen was silenced and could not say a word.
Because whatever you say is wrong.
An Yuan'er had really had enough and just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
She asked her brother, "Brother, have you packed your luggage? We're leaving first thing tomorrow morning."
