“I’m fine. Are you hungry? I made hibiscus cake for you to eat.”

Xiao Lanxin forced a smile, her voice dry and bitter.

“I’m not hungry. Are you truly okay?”

Luan Hong looked at Xiao Lanxin with self-blame. How could she still be in the mood to eat?

“Then I’ll go eat something.”

Xiao Lanxin only wanted to hide and lick her wounds. She missed her sister-in-law dearly. If only she were here.

“I’ll go with you.”

Luan Hong was worried and insisted on accompanying Xiao Lanxin. Just as they were talking, a servant came outside and reported,

“Miss, Madam wants you to come over.”

“Xiao Ying, let’s go!”nove(l)bi(n.)com

Luan Hong grabbed Xiao Lanxin’s arm and coaxed her to go with her.

“I won’t go. I’m exhausted.”

Xiao Lanxin shook her head. There was a massive rock in her heart, and she didn’t want to see anyone.

“Alright, I’ll be right there.”

Seeing that Xiao Lanxin refused to go with her, Luan Hong had to leave alone. However, she was still worried before she left. She turned around and looked at Xiao Lanxin a few times. Seeing that Xiao Lanxin had already picked up the embroidery and seemed to be going to continue, she left with peace of mind.

After Luan Hong left, Xiao Lanxin put down the embroidery in her hands and leaned her head against the bedpost as she stared blankly at the window. Her heart was racing, and from time to time, Yelu Chun’s affectionate gaze appeared in her mind.

Would he mind? Should she be honest with him first?

After careful consideration, Xiao Lanxin made a decision. She had to make things clear with Yelu Chun first. If he minded, then she would cancel the engagement. She didn’t want to become an unhappy couple with Yelu Chun. She even thought about how she would live after the engagement was broken off.

It wasn’t that difficult. She just had to ignore the discussions outside. She could stay by her sister-in-law’s side for the rest of her life, farm with her, raise silkworms, weave cloth, embroider, and then learn to brew wine and rouge with her. Thinking about it, her life would be very fulfilling. She didn’t have to get married!

Xiao Lanxin’s mood suddenly lightened up at the thought of this. Rather than becoming a resentful couple, it was better to let go.

She realized that after being with her sister-in-law for a long time, she had become more carefree.

“... Ah, yes, your sister-in-law sent us fresh vegetables and some food from Luo City. I brought some for you.”

Yang Ruxue was only momentarily stunned. She smiled gently at Xiao Ying as usual and looked at her with anguish.

Every time her daughter came home, she would leave in a hurry, so she didn t even have the chance to get close to her. On the contrary, Yang Ruxue had treated Xiao Ying as her daughter while she was living here, so she felt terrible for Xiao Ying. She didn’t desire to be captured, and she was criticized. Who could bear it?

“Thank you, Auntie. Sister-in-law’s vegetables have grown so big.”

Xiao Lanxin’s smile became even brighter when she heard that. Sister-in-law was capable. She could grow vegetables in this season.

“Try this noodle. Your sister-in-law also made it.”

Yang Ruxue had been observing Xiao Lanxin. Seeing that there was no sadness in Xiao Lanxin’s eyes, she was relieved. A hint of pride appeared on her face. She was not very capable, but her daughter was. How could she not be proud of her daughter, who was so capable?

“It will be delicious.”

Xiao Lanxin hadn’t eaten her sister-in-law’s cooking for a long time. When she heard that her sister-in-law made the flatbread, she quickly pinched a small piece and put it in her mouth. Her big eyes lit up as soon as she ate it, and the corners of her mouth naturally curled up into a beautiful arc.

“It’s so delicious. I want to learn how to make noodles from my sister-in-law. Xiao Lanxin wanted to leave. Everyone was looking at her sympathetically, which made her very unhappy. It was better to be by sister-in-law’s side. She could live a carefree life every day.

“Alright, when your Uncle Yang returns, I’ll get him to send you to Luo City.” Yang Ruxue agreed carefully. As long as Xiao Lanxin was happy, it was fine. “Thank you, Auntie. I’ll go find Uncle Yang and ask him.”

Xiao Lanxin wanted to leave as soon as possible. On the way to Luo City, she could make a trip to Tartar and tell everything to Yelu Chun, letting him choose whether they could be together.

“It’s better not to go in the chaos.”

Yang Rubing advised Xiao Lanxin that Xiao Ying’s departure must have something to do with what her daughter had told her.

“It’s okay. It’s safe to go from Luo City to Jingshi Dao. I’ll disguise myself as a man.”

Xiao Lanxin often dressed as a man with her sister-in-law, so she was already familiar with it.

“How about this? Let your uncle send you there.”

Yang Ruxue was still worried. Xiao Lanxin was a guest at her home, so her family had the responsibility to ensure the child’s safety. Otherwise, if anything happened, they wouldn’t be able to explain it to their daughter and son-in-law.

“No need.”

Xiao Lanxin hurriedly refused. It was a long journey; how could she torment Uncle Su?

As they talked, the servant’s report came from outside the door.

“Madam, there is someone outside the door who wishes to see you..
