Hong Yuan's hands were very coincidental, and the bun she combed out was always exceptionally exquisite. She made up a new makeup for Du Ruanyu and gave her the white lily head ornament.

He also picked out a set of clothes with a white veil on them.

The girl in the mirror had bright eyes and white teeth, and her clothes were fluttering in the wind like the moon in the sky.

Du Ruanyu smiled in satisfaction, "Big Sister Hong Yuan's eyes are really good. When I get married in the future, I'll definitely let mother give you to me as a maid."

Hong Yuan's face showed some embarrassment, "Miss has not reached her prime yet, so it's best to not talk too much about this marriage. In the eyes of outsiders, you are the fairy of the sky, holy and inviolable. "Young miss is so pretty, how could a wild girl like her be able to compare to you? The young mistress said that she would calm down, and today, Du Mu Zhou's reputation will be ruined. He will no longer be a stumbling block for you."

When Du Ruanyu heard this, she happily went to the Shou'an Hall.

When she arrived, Du Mu Zhou had already finished his breakfast and left. She was slightly disappointed that she wasn't able to show off to Du Mu Zhou.

When Jian Jia came back from outside, Du Mu Zhou was waiting for her at Mu Jin Yuan.

"Linglong, I have a headache today. Go to Doctor Zhang and ask for a prescription. Bring the medicine over."

She only stayed in the mansion for a short time, so there were only two maids in the yard, Linglong and Jian Jia.

After Linglong left, Jian Jia closed the door and took out a small bag from her bosom, telling Du MuZhou that everything had been settled.

Du Mu Zhou let out a breath of relief. Now he could only place all his hopes on Xiao Qing Qing.

Xiao Qing Qing was a modest gentleman who kept his word. Since he had promised her, he naturally wouldn't let her down.

If it wasn't for the fact that she didn't have anyone else to help her, she wouldn't have wasted this favor.

"Second Uncle, Second Uncle, everything depends on you." Du Mu Zhou muttered softly.

Every year, the Duke of Xiao's estate would send Xiao Qing to represent the Xiao family on the birthday of the Old Madam of the Du family. The gifts were very generous.

Xiao Qing counted the gifts before playing her zither in her yard.

He was a stately duke, but going there too early instead made him look like he had lost too much value.

In the morning, Du Mu Zhou's maidservant brought him a letter, which startled him. In his mind, he saw a silly looking little girl with spirited eyes.

He had teased her once when he saw that she was cute, but when he found out that she was hiding from him every year, he realized that she was the direct daughter of the Du Family who was engaged to his eldest nephew.

Now, this person who had always been hiding from him actually came to his front door, begging for him to fulfill his promise from three years ago.

"Interesting." The corner of Xiao Qing's mouth curved into a smile.

A withered leaf fell unsteadily onto his guqin. Xiao Qing Qing stopped what she was doing and raised her head to look at the person lying on the tree.

Dressed in clothes stained with gold and ink, the youth was smiling at him.

"Eldest Nephew, if you like this tree so much, let others dig it up and plant it in your yard. This early spring, after it has been crushed, it won't sprout anymore." Xiao Qing flicked away the leaves and continued to stroke the zither.

The youth jumped down from the tree. "I have slept on this tree for who knows how many years. I still can't help but lie down on it."

"Finished lying down? "Then go back."

The young man's almond-shaped eyes revealed a mesmerizing smile, "Second Uncle, don't rush to chase me away. I just wanted to ask you something. "

"What is it?"

"Why did that wild girl ask her servant girl to look for you?" After the youth said this, he suddenly realized something, "I'm talking about the matter that caused the Du Family's Eldest Miss to look for you?"
