As soon as he set foot on this land, Lu Jingzhi couldn't contain his inner anxiety and asked with anticipation, "Madam, what do we need to buy this time?"
Yan An frowned slightly, gently pinched his white jade-like chin with his right hand, and fell into deep thought...
After a moment, she slowly said, "My second uncle has always been obsessed with painting. If I could find a good painting to give to him, he would surely be delighted."
"My aunt has a special fondness for all kinds of jewelry, so giving her some exquisite and gorgeous pieces will definitely please her."
"In this way, the gift matter has been resolved."
"Besides, you can also buy some fresh and delicious fruits and mellow and rich wine."
"Well, everything is up to my lady! Let's go and choose now, and you can make the decision." Lu Jingzhi responded with a smile.
Then, Yan An took light steps and led him through the bustling streets and alleys.
Along the way, they were dazzled by the dazzling array of goods, but they did not stay for too long, but went straight to the target store.
After careful selection, he finally bought a large number of gifts and put them one by one into the ring he carried with him.
Before I knew it, the sky had gradually darkened.
At this moment, Lu Jingzhi and Yan An were walking shoulder to shoulder, slowly towards the direction of Yan Mansion.
When he arrived at the gate of Yan Mansion, Lu Jingzhi couldn't help but stop and look up at the magnificent ancient mansion in front of him.
I saw that the vermilion gate was several feet high and was inlaid with neatly arranged copper nails.
Two vermilion gates stand majestically, with a majestic stone lion squatting on each side, their heads held high and their eyes wide open.
The butler standing at the door was wearing a navy blue robe, and the sleeves of the robe swayed slightly in the wind.
He had a solemn expression on his face, and a jade belt as white as snow was tied around his waist, which shone with a warm luster.
At this moment, the butler was standing upright in front of the door, his eyes sharp and bright, examining everyone who passed by the door.
Not far behind the butler, several guards were wearing shiny armor and holding spears. Their postures were as straight as vigorous green pines, standing proudly.
Looking at the tall courtyard wall, it is made up of huge and thick bluestone slabs. These bluestone slabs are closely connected and extremely strong.
The top of the wall is covered with a layer of glittering glazed tiles, which shine with colorful light under the setting sun, contrasting with the lush green trees around it.
At this moment, the butler suddenly noticed someone walking towards him.
He looked closely, and when the familiar face came into view, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, his face full of disbelief.
He subconsciously reached out and rubbed his eyes. After confirming again that what he saw was not an illusion, a surge of ecstasy surged in his heart - the eldest lady really came back!
"Miss...Miss, you are not dead?!" the butler shouted in a trembling voice, and then he walked quickly towards Miss Yan. His steps seemed a little hurried, and his face turned red with excitement.
The head of the family and his wife encountered an accident in the demon realm!
This news was like a bolt from the blue and spread throughout the family in an instant.
What is even more shocking is that more rumors leaked later.
Yan An, the once feared Demon Emperor, was unexpectedly forced to abdicate by the Evil Soul Clan and those rebels with ulterior motives, and was even hunted down mercilessly!
For a time, the Yan family fell into deep grief and despair.
Everyone thought they had passed away and left this world forever.
Although everyone's hearts were filled with anger and hatred, and they wanted to avenge their mistress and lord, reason told them that the current strength of the Yan family was a far cry from that of the Evil Soul Clan.
To rashly seek revenge is like walking into a trap, and to bring about one's own destruction, like a moth to a flame.
Yan An raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a faint smile on his face. He walked forward quickly and stretched out his hand to help the old butler who was about to salute.
"I'm back. After so many years, is everything going well for our Yan family?"
The old butler quickly replied: "Miss, the Yan family has been living in peace and prosperity over the years, but..." At this point, the old butler suddenly hesitated, as if he had something to hide.
Seeing this, Yan An's expression froze and he asked, "But what? Just tell me."
The old housekeeper hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "The young lady will know after she goes in."
After saying that, he secretly glanced at Lu Jingzhi, who was standing beside Yan An and remained silent, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
[Who is this strange man? Why did he return with the young lady?]
Yan An keenly sensed the old housekeeper's thoughts, smiled slightly, and explained: "This is my fiancé, his name is Lu Jingzhi."
"Go in first and tell Second Uncle and Third Aunt that I'm back."
"well."
The butler instructed the guards beside him, "Go inform... go inform them that the young lady is back."
The guard nodded in response, walked into the mansion, and ran quickly.
"Miss, let's go in."
"good."
The two walked in under the respectful guidance of the butler.
