Waiting for Aunt Hua to go in to announce the news, Yue Liusu was bored to death and walked around casually. It was as if he had expanded out of the house, the four walls surrounded the entire house, the rock garden was filled with spring water, the lotus flowers were all in bloom, it was extremely beautiful.

"Miss, this place is so beautiful." Yi Meng probably never went out of his house before, hence he was quite interested in these things.

"Right."

"Big sister, be careful. If you fall down due to the reward later, you'll be embarrassed." Yue Linger stood at the side and reminded her. It could be seen that the ridicule at the corner of her mouth, was, in her opinion, a country bumpkin who had never seen the world.

That's true. Why did he have to stay in that shabby little courtyard to see such a beautiful scenery?

What Yue Linger did not know was that, in the twenty-fifth century, she had owned two villas. It was a pity that she did not have the life to enjoy them.

"Thank you for sister's reminder. It's better for sister to stay far away so that she won't accidentally be pushed down by your sister later on." Yue Liusu looked wronged.

But before Yue Linger could retort, Yue Liusu already pulled Yi Meng away.

"You!" Yue Linger had never suffered such a loss before! His hands tightly gripped her dress; it was simply unbearable! He even had the heart to kill Yue Liusu.

Not long later, Aunt Hua came out.

"Eldest Miss, the empress dowager invites you in." Aunt Hua said respectfully.

"Thank you, Auntie Hua." Yue Liusu slightly nodded, lifted his leg, and slowly walked in.

"Stop, you can't enter." Aunt Hua raised her hand and was blocked outside the door.

"Miss …" Yi Meng looked pitifully at Yue Liusu.

"Don't worry, just wait for me in the yard. Don't wander around." Yue Liusu explained.

"Yes, Miss." Yi Meng bit her lips.

Hearing this, Yue Linger's mood immediately became better. He raised his proud head and walked over, his tone full of ridicule. "See, a servant girl actually wanted to stand in front of the empress dowager, but didn't even look at herself."

Unfortunately, before Yue Linger could even reach the entrance, Aunt Hua called out to him. "Second Miss, I'm sorry, the empress dowager only summoned Eldest Miss. Please wait in the pavilion for a moment or take a look around."

Immediately, Yue Linger stood on the spot awkwardly, his face burning.

Yue Liusu resisted the urge to laugh out loud. Look, look, be cocky, it was exactly like this from her guess, if not Aunt Hua just now would not have stopped Yi Meng.

"You …" Seeing Yue Liusu's pleased expression, Yue Linger was so angry that he almost turned his back on her. "Aunt Hua, I know. Turning around, Yue Linger could not even stay for a second, she asked herself! Never had he suffered so much in a single day.

Yue Liusu shrugged his shoulders, feeling really good when he saw Yue Linger smack himself in the face.

He turned around and followed Aunt Hua inside.

"We're here. Please come in, Eldest Miss."

Yue Liusu saluted as he walked towards the hall. It could be seen that there were six servant girls standing in two rows, and after passing through the screen, he saw the empress dowager sitting right in the middle, with all kinds of bright gold jewelry and green-yellow flowery dresses. Unfortunately, years had left scars on her face.

"Greetings, Empress Dowager." Yue Liusu stepped forward and bowed, but he did not kneel like the other palace guards.

"En, come over here and let This Dowager see." The empress dowager waved her hand, indicating Yue Liusu to walk over. It could be seen that her wrinkled hand was covered with precious stones.

Tsk tsk, you really are a nouveau riche.

Seeing the empress dowager's fake smile, it must have been hard for her to hold it in.

"Yes, Majesty."

Yue Liusu walked forward and stood in front of the empress dowager. She turned around and grabbed Yue Liusu's wrist, "Come, sit next to This Dowager."

"Yes." Yue Liusu pursed her lips, she really had a hard time adapting to the atmosphere.

At this time, the evildoer hiding in Yue Liusu's body spoke, "Be careful."

"Eh?" Yue Liusu raised his eyebrow, was he concerned about her?

But then, a certain grandpa fell silent.

"Hello, hello?" Her words were like a rock in the ocean, and she didn't get a response. As expected, she knew.

"Your appearance is very similar to your mother's, except that you're a bit thinner. You need to make up for it. Liusu, you're 15 years old this year, aren't you?" Her Majesty asked with a smile. In front of her, the servant girl was steaming with tea.

"Right." Yue Liusu replied. Logically speaking, she should have married the crown prince last year, but she was dragged down.

"Originally, you should have gotten married to Ling'er last year, but because Ling'er was seriously ill, you were delayed. Today, I've announced that you have come here only because you found a good path to walk in order to help you get married. Do you have any objections?"

"To reply the empress dowager, Liusu doesn't dare, but I don't know if the crown prince …" Yue Liusu said with difficulty, but he did not reveal the truth of the matter.

Immediately, the empress dowager's expression changed. "It's no problem, This Dowager will definitely let Ling'er marry you."

"Then Liusu will thank the empress dowager." Yue Liusu said.

Although she didn't know what the empress dowager was thinking, she didn't believe that she didn't know what had happened to her in the Yue Mansion, if it was because she was a Direct Daughter of the Yue Mansion, it would still be okay for Qi Yueling to marry her.

But...

She remembered that her mother had coincidentally saved the empress dowager's life, which was why she was accepted by the empress dowager as her adopted daughter and married into the Yue Mansion as her wife. However, even if there was a relationship between them, it had long ended, and after her mother gave birth to her, the empress dowager was in a hurry to arrange a marriage with Qi Yueling.

Even after her mother's death, even after so many years, he still persisted in sending people to visit her at Yue Mansion every half a year.

Unfortunately, Yue Liusu was not the Yue Liusu from before, so this matter did not sound wrong, and she had even shed tears of gratitude towards the empress dowager. However, if she was truly pitied in the slightest, she would definitely not turn a deaf ear to's miserable life in the Yue Mansion, and she would not even look at once every six months.

This meant that the empress dowager had long known of her predicament at the Yue Mansion.

Yue Liusu laughed coldly in his heart, so ah, if you want to act, then do your best, if you want to act, then do it half-way, then there is no meaning.

"Alright, I'll definitely get Ling'er to come and propose marriage one day!" Her Majesty made a decision.

"Liusu thanks the empress dowager."

Yue Liusu wanted to break the engagement with Qi Yueling, but Yue Linger's feelings towards him was so genuine, so she didn't want to bring up the matter of the marriage. She might as well go with the flow and wait until Qi Yueling personally comes to Yue Mansion to end the engagement, then she would agree on him and Yue Linger.

After all, it was Qi Yueling who had wanted to end the engagement, and she didn't want to be infamous because of her request.

It was already afternoon by the time he left the Empress Dowager's residence.

"Miss!"

who was so happy that his eyes were popping out, "Young miss, can we go back now?"

"What's wrong?" Hearing Yi Meng's question, Yue Liusu was a little confused. Didn't she like big houses? Isn't it good to stay?

Yi Meng tugged on her dress, and said in a low voice: "There are too many rules here, this servant feels that Yue Mansion is still the best."

"You! "Let's go back." Yue Liusu shook his head helplessly.

"Yes, Miss!"
