"Brother, what are you doing?" Liu Yinyin suddenly jumped out of the window.

"Practicing calligraphy." Liu Ziwen still held onto the brush stably.

"How boring." Liu Yinyin curled her lips: "I can't scare Big Brother every time."

"Take Miss San Biao and sit inside. I'll entertain you guys after I finish writing this page." Liu Ziwen said in a bland voice, and his tone was as warm as the spring wind of March.

"Who said it's Third Cousin Sister? It's obviously Fourth Cousin, alright?" Liu Yinyin was very unsatisfied with how Liu Ziwen seemed to know everything.

"No matter who it is, please enter. Treading on the snow, go call your brothers and sisters over. Tell the kitchen to prepare some tea and snacks." Liu Ziwen's expression did not change as he continued to write.

"Yes, young master." The little attendant beside Liu Ziwen ran out as if he was treading on snow.

He had to invite everyone else over quickly. If he was a little slower, the news of Young Master and Miss Shui San Biao being in the study room would spread like wildfire. If they were to misrepresent the truth, the Young Master would not be able to keep their innocence!

Stepping Snow was indeed Liu Ziwen's most caring attendant. In less than half a cup of tea's time, someone had already arrived at Liu Ziwen's courtyard.

"Is Fifth Cousin here yet?" The person who entered was the direct disciple of Liu Family, Second Young Master Liu Zishu. He looked like someone who was kneading dough, with his fair and clear complexion, it could be seen that he would not lose to the Liu Ziwen who was already famous outside.

"Second cousin." Shui Qingsu stepped forward and bowed, "Fifth Sister is at her grandmother's house. She hasn't come back yet."

When Liu Zishu heard this, he frowned, "Why aren't you going? Why are you telling her to go? She hasn't come for quite some time."

"If she doesn't come, you can go. It's just a matter of a few streets away." Liu Yinyin laughed coldly at Liu Zishu. She hated the way Liu Zishu always talked about Shui Qingya.

"Mother, if you let me, do you think I would stay at home?" Liu Ziwen curled his lips. Not seeing anyone he wanted to see, he casually found a seat and sat down.

A while later, the concubine of the Shui family, Young Miss and Young Master came as well.

The moment Liu Ziwen stopped writing, it was the last person to enter.

"Since everyone is here, let's have a chat." Liu Ziwen put down the brush, a slight smile hung on his lips, and an elegant temperament. He then walked over to the main seat and picked up the teacup.

"About what?" Liu Yinyin asked first.

"We won't talk about the Second Prince and the Emerald Princess leaving the capital anyway." Liu Zishu gave a cold snort.

Liu Yinyin's face darkened as she stared at Liu Zishu.

Liu Zishu curled his lips. "I told Mother that Elder Sister was staring at me again."

"Stop messing around, if you continue messing around, I'm going to smash people." Liu Ziwen raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Immediately, Liu Yinyin swallowed back what she was about to say, and glared at Liu Zishu.

"I haven't been out recently. I wonder if something interesting has happened." When Liu Ziwen said this, he was staring at Shui Qingsu.

Shui Qingsu's face suddenly turned as red as an apple. Looking at the warm amber eyes of Liu Ziwen, he was so nervous that he couldn't say a word.

"I heard the servant say that everyone was discussing that bad guy Shui Qingyan." Liu Zishu frowned.

"Oh?" Liu Ziwen thoughtfully nodded his head, and looked at Liu Zishu: "What did they say?"

"I don't know, I'm too lazy to listen to her." Liu Zishu had a look of disgust whenever he mentioned Shui Qingyan.

"Does sister know?" This question was directed at Liu Yinyin. In Liu Family, Liu Ziwen only called Liu Yinyin little sister.

"I'm not too sure. I think she said that Fourth Cousin Sister went to the Qingfeng Stronghold to gamble with her dog, and bet her red flower and Cui Hua's life away." Liu Yinyin also did not have a good impression of Shui Qingyan, so she looked at Liu Ziwen and asked.

Liu Ziwen then looked at Shui Qingsu: "Did you hear anything when Miss San Biao was on her way here?"

"No, no." Shui Qingsu immediately shook her head, and just as she was about to do so, she nodded again, "Yes, yes."

"Oh?" Liu Ziwen raised his eyebrows and smiled, Shui Qingsu's world was instantly filled with Little Flower.

"What do they say about Fourth Cousin?" Liu Ziwen smiled and said.

Shui Qingsu blurted out, "Fourth Sister Night does not return."

"What?" Liu Zishu's eyes opened wide, "Shui Qingyan actually did not return tonight!"

"Fourth Cousin, you're not spouting nonsense, right?" Liu Yinyin opened her eyes wide. She knew that Shui Qingsu might have done some pretentious words in order to curry favor with the Madam Ying, but in front of Liu Ziwen, Liu Yinyin was sure that she would not say half a word of exaggeration.

Shui Qingsu solemnly nodded, "To be exact, Fourth Sister hasn't come back for a few nights."

"Hahaha, could she be a private scholar?" Liu Zishu laughed loudly, seemingly taking pleasure in this misfortune.

When he said this, everyone looked at each other in dismay. Back then, Shui Qingcheng's matter had exploded like a bomb. Could it be that the Shui family was going to have another scandal?

"No." Shui Qingsu shook her head, "A letter from the Prince Chu Palace says that the Fourth Sister is in the Prince Chu Palace." Saying that, Shui Qingsu looked up at Liu Ziwen.

Liu Ziwen's amber eyes were still filled with a faint smile, without any hint of displeasure or happiness.

"Prince Chu Mansion?" Liu Yinyin instantly opened her eyes wide, "Are you sure you didn't hear wrongly?"

When I came back, she hadn't come back yet. Palace had been notified a few days ago, and Fourth Sister still hadn't returned last night. "" Oh? Shui Qingsu was extremely excited, she wanted to make Liu Ziwen hate Shui Qingyan.

"Why did I hear that Fourth Cousin had gambled her life away at Qingfeng Stronghold?" The young miss with the smallest Liu’s Mansion, Liu Ruyi, a ten-year-old girl, innocently asked while wearing a ponytail.

"The paintings outside are indeed Red Flower and Cui Hua's." Shui Qingsu nodded solemnly.

She wanted to make everyone in Liu Family dislike Shui Qingyan. Even if this was her biological grandfather's house, she wanted the people of Liu Family to not like Shui Qingyan. She didn't like her eldest cousin to only call Shui Qingyan his cousin!

"Oh my god, could it be that when Shui Qingyan went to the Ma Ji Town, he met that sick Prince Chu who was about to die? One of them, Liu Rumei, came to a conclusion in terror.

Liu Yinyin heard and looked at Liu Rumei, feeling excited in his heart. If this matter were to spread, Shui Qingyan's reputation would be ruined, and the Second Prince would not need to marry Shui Qingyan!

As if he had seen through everyone's thoughts, Liu Ziwen smiled lightly and said, "These are all guesses. No matter what people say about our cousin outside, we cannot speak carelessly.

Liu Ziwen was reminding everyone present to not talk too much.

Liu Rumei's face alternated between white and red. According to her understanding of her family, she had flattered her big sister, but now her big brother looked down on her.

"Big Bro, I've already finished practicing my words. When are you free? I'll show it to you." The one who spoke was Liu Ruyi, a ten-year-old pigtail.

"Anytime." In the Liu Family, other than being very tolerant of Liu Yinyin, Liu Ziwen especially liked this six year old little sister, Liu Ruyi.

"Alright." Receiving Liu Ziwen's reply, Liu Ruyi could not contain his smile, and ate the pastries beside his with great delight.

"Elder Cousin, do you not believe me?" Shui Qingsu looked at Liu Ziwen with an extremely wronged expression.

A light smile that was like the spring breeze in the third month hung on Liu Ziwen's clean face as he looked at Shui Qingsu faintly, "I've already heard it, whether or not you believe me is not important. Your cousin's matter is a matter for your Shui Family."

Shui Qingsu's face became anxious, "Big Cousin, what I said was all true. Fourth Sister really does not return overnight!"

"I know." Liu Ziwen lifted the cup of water and took a sip.

"You believe me?" Shui Qingsu immediately smiled.

"If I were Cousin Qing Su, I would definitely hide the matter of Cousin Qing Yan not being at home." Liu Rumei looked at Liu Ziwen confusedly, "Big Brother, Cousin Qingyan won't stay up all night, right?"

Shui Qingsu's face alternated between red and white due to Liu Ruyi's words.

"Who knows?" Liu Ziwen looked puzzled.

"Big brother doesn't know either?" Liu Rumei was very surprised, she did not expect that Liu Ziwen did not know about anything else.

Liu Ziwen shook his head indifferently, "Change the topic."

"Alright, let's change another one." Only Liu Rumei nodded happily. The rest of the people were thinking about what they had heard today.

was drinking tea in Liu Ziwen's study, feeling depressed about Liu Ziwen's attitude towards him, as well as the effects of what Liu Rumei had said just now. She had never seen through the god's thoughts.

Before they had a chance to chat for long, Treading Snow entered the door and said, "Young Noble, the Grand Elder is inviting Miss San Biao over."

Shui Qingsu's body froze, the thing she didn't want to see the most in Liu Family was two grandfathers and grandmother who were holding Shui Qingyan in their palms, it definitely wasn't a good thing.

Shui Qingsu looked at Liu Ziwen and saw that he nodded, so he decided not to go. He then got up and gave him a pleading look, hoping that he would go with her.

Liu Yinyin also did not like those two grandfathers and grandmothers who only had granddaughters on their minds. As a result, she turned her head and ignored Shui Qingsu's request.

Shui Qingsu bit her lower lip in anger. She wanted to stay by Liu Ziwen's side, but Liu Ziwen was a filial son, if she did not go, it would be hard for her to take another step into the study room from now on.

As expected, after entering the courtyard of the Liu Family's Grand Old Master and Grand Madam, Shui Qingsu felt an inexplicable sense of oppression.

In the room, Shui Qingyan's biological grandfather, Liu Changqing sat at the main seat with a solemn expression. His grandmother, the Madam Huo, sat beside him and similarly frowned at him.

"Tsui Su met her grandfather, Grandmother." Shui Qingsu bowed from the center.

Liu Changqing looked at Shui Qingsu for a while, then said: "Get up."

"Thank you, Grandmother." Shui Qingsu only wished that she could fly with her wings spread. She hated the atmosphere here!

"Tell me everything you know about the recent events that happened to Qingyan. Grandmother has not seen her for a long time." Grandmother Madam Huo looked at Shui Qingsu and said indifferently.

"Yes." "Fourth Sister hasn't been back for the past few days. A few days ago, someone from Prince Chu's Palace came to say that Fourth Sister was in Prince Chu's Palace."

"Is Qingyan Ye's absence related to the Prince Chu Palace?" Grandfather Liu Changqing's voice was very serious.

Shui Qingsu nodded her head repeatedly, "Everyone in Shui’s Marion knows that Qing Su does not dare to expire with Grandfather."

"Is it true that Qingyan went to the Ma Ji Town when people say she did?" Grandfather Liu Changqing's voice sounded somewhat depressed. He couldn't understand how Shui Qingyan was related to the Prince Chu's Palace.

"Qing Su doesn't know." Shui Qingsu was very reserved in front of her grandfather and grandmother.

Grandfather Liu Changqing and Grandmother Madam Huo looked at each other, their expressions solemn.
