Chopsticks that had been pulled all night.

Gu Mingyan indignantly rearranged the bedding and looked at the horizon gradually lighting up. Even the heavy snow had disappeared without a trace, only leaving behind the chilling cold from when the ice and snow had melted.

"The snow isn't cold, the snow isn't cold." He muttered this sentence to himself.

Gu Mingyan rubbed her sore neck as she walked out. Before Qiu Mei and Chun Ying could ask her about the Seventh Prince coming over, she saw a heroic looking Shuang Hua standing below the bridge, smiling at her.

She trotted over, feeling close.

"Sister Shuang Hua." He let out a low cry, completely unaware that he was trying to harm the prince.

Shuang Hua's movements were slightly startled, he only hid the indifference on his face and bowed: "Miss, you can just call me Shuang Hua."

"I like to call you Big Sister Shuang Hua. Gu Mingyan laughed in relief, then spoke out in an aggrieved tone: "Last night, Your Highness Seventh Prince destroyed my bedding, I pulled out chopsticks for the whole night."

"Pfft ~ ~" Shuang Hua could not help but sneer.

Last night, Seventh Prince aggressively went back to his room and didn't even manage to eat breakfast this morning.

Gu Mingyan embarrassedly rubbed her head: "Sister Shuang Hua, can you send me a message?"

"Please speak, Miss."

"Say, I only covet his wealth and power and have absolutely no intention of harming him."

With that said, Shuang Hua wanted to laugh even more.

Being able to frankly say that he was greedy for power and wealth, could also be considered to be the one and only person in the entire Shengan.

"I will carry the news through, but Shuang Hua came here this time to inform young miss, the Prime Minister has sent his wife and second young miss here to visit, I hope young miss will not inform her relatives about Seventh Prince, if not …" Shuang Hua made a throat erasing gesture.

Gu Mingyan swallowed his saliva and made a motion of closing his mouth, "I naturally won't say it, and I hope that Your Highness will keep your promise."

Shuang Hua did not reply, he only heard the sound of footsteps not far away, after nodding slightly, he left from the other side of the bridge.

Gu Mingyan quietly watched Shuang Hua leave, from beginning to end, he felt a sense of familiarity.

Other than that, since Shuang Hua was one of Xiao Qiran's subordinates, coming over to spread the news and threaten him was somewhat trustworthy.

However, if his father did not come, Gu Mingyan would not change his clothes, and instead went back into the house and sat by the window, acting as if he did not know anything.

Under another bridge, Xiao Qiran stood with his hands behind his back, sizing up Gu Mingyan from afar through the slightly open window.

Gu Mingyan was petite and cute, she was ever-changing, but currently, she was quietly holding a book, holding two plates of hot tea and a plate of pastries by her side. Her pitiful eyes were quietly reflecting the words on the book.

It was more like a beautiful picture.

Shuang Hua saw that Xiao Qiran was staring blankly, and said softly: "I see that young miss is not a bad person."

"You know?" Xiao Qiran shot a cold glare at him, but Shuang Hua had no choice but to shut his mouth and not say another word.

After a while, an attendant brought Madam Liu and Gu Ziyan over. Gu Ziyan's appearance was extremely meticulous, her beautiful face had become even more exquisite, and her silky brocade clothing looked even better, the fox fur around her neck was extremely soft, making her look even more attractive.

Madam Liu chuckled as he brought Gu Ziyan to stand in front of the house.

Gu Mingyan then realised the two were coming over, he raised his head and looked, the silence was gone, there was only coldness.

Xiao Qiran, who was hiding at the side, slowly squinted his eyes. Seeing Gu Mingyan calmly and quietly walk out the door, standing in front of Madam Liu and Gu Ziyan while stepping on the snow and ice, as if he did not know how to bow, he only twisted his sleeves and stood.

"Ming Yan should have called me mother." The smile on Madam Liu's face was fake.

"Ming Yan's mother is still worshiping Buddha at the Serene Temple. How can I recognize another mother?" Gu Mingyan's face suddenly broke into a smile. He placed both his hands in front of his stomach and slightly raised his chin: "If the aunt is like this, then you must marry me to that elder brother of the Cyan Plains who is not related to me. Only then can I call you mother."

The speed at which his face changed was truly admirable.

Gu Ziyan's face tensed up, he had only said that last time, he did not listen to his mother's warning, and had actually treated her like a country girl.

That day, she had used the reason of her bloodline to stall for time. If Gu Zhiyuan were to hear these words now, she would most likely drag the position of the great lady for another half a month.

"Sister Mingyan." Gu Ziyan took a step forward, "Previously, when I sent you to the Seventh Prince's residence, I was forced to do so. Yesterday, I had already urged them to deliver the things to the Serene An Monastery.

As he spoke, his eyes turned red.

Gu Mingyan pursed his lips and laughed softly: "I have never blamed little sister Zi Yan for buying things for my mother, she treated me extremely well."

Gu Ziyan could only laugh dryly, he looked at the huge Sunset Courtyard from afar, but did not hear his foolish sister telling him to enter.

Gu Mingyan immediately said: "I turned the snow into cold snow, Sister Ziyan should go back and rest early, please don't catch a cold."

You don't know your manners!

The expressions on Madam Liu and Gu Ziyan's faces stiffened.

Shuang Hua who was at the side could not help but smile, while Xiao Qiran saw that underneath Gu Mingyan's wide sleeves, there were some squirming around.

"Cough cough, Ming Yan isn't inviting us in?" Madam Liu opened his mouth.

"Naturally." Gu Mingyan smiled and immediately held Gu Ziyan's hand affectionately, like a sister walking in.

The few of them entered the room, but the window remained open for a long time.

Seeing that Xiao Qiran was looking at it seriously, Shuang Hua could not help but ask: "How far does Your Highness want to investigate?"

"I'm just a little curious." Why did she act so unbridled in front of him?

The day after tomorrow, she would indifferently face him. Even though she knew his identity, she was still as casual as ever. On the contrary, he had never seen her acting so seriously like a pitiful person.

He couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, but he was willing to pretend that he didn't see it.

This woman had torn apart his entire chest of clothes! You lied to him!

Qiu Mei and Chun Ying came to pour tea for the two of them, and the two of them seemed to have inadvertently mentioned that the Seventh Prince had come before them to bring up the matter.

Gu Mingyan immediately raised his eyes and swung his blade twice. Unexpectedly, the bodies of the two maids who were a few years older than her trembled, but the chilliness faded and became a pool of gentle spring water. His fingertips brushed across the table and he said: "Seventh Prince said that he had been reborn with a marriage contract.

Thinking about that morning, Seventh Prince's voice was indeed loud, she could not be too angry, and both Chun Ying and Qiu Mei did not speak any further.

The Madam Liu's heart leaped with joy, and pulled Gu Ziyan's hand over, and said: "Mingyan is really lonely here alone, why not, your father asked me to send Zi Yan over to your side as a companion, and you and Zi Yan can look out for each other."

The reason was reasonable. However, the faces of Gu Mingyan who was in the open and Xiao Qiran who was in the dark were dark, and the thoughts of the two of them were especially identical.

What right do you have to go to my side!

Just as Xiao Qiran was about to think of a way to end this matter, he heard Gu Mingyan clapping the table and standing up, a single tear fell on the table.

"This is the Seventh Prince's manor. Your highness has to get angry at me from time to time. How could Ming Yan allow little sister Zi Yan to stay?"

As he finished speaking, he burst into tears. He was crying loudly and feeling extremely wronged.

Madam Liu and Gu Ziyan, who were just choked with sobs, were at a loss on what to do for a moment.

This country bumpkin was probably made of rainwater.

Xiao Qiran stood in place for a long time before waving his sleeves and leaving, saying to Shuang Hua: "Let her go get the ice coffin tomorrow."
