Hearing Yi Yue's words, Shi Anran nodded her head in satisfaction, "Come and have a taste of the dim sum Lian Xing made, the two of you come and try as well."

As she said that, Shi Anran waved her hand at the three of them.

When Liu Yue was eating there just now, Liu Yue was a little greedy. When she heard Shi Anran's words, she did not hold back and immediately took a piece and put it in her mouth.

Although the pastry was mainly made by Lian Xing, when she thought about it, there was also a portion of her contribution inside the pastry, she felt that it was especially delicious.

Seeing Liu Yue's happy face as she squinted her eyes, Shi Anran could only smile helplessly.

Lian Xing and Yi Yue both stopped eating after tasting a piece, but Liu Yue was different. She was told to eat by the young miss, she had to listen to the young miss's orders.

Originally, when he ate all these all by himself, no matter how good the food was, he would still feel that the food was tasteless.

The master and the servant shared a piece with each other, eating extremely vigorously.

On the other hand, after hearing Yi Yue's words, Wang Yuan who was holding the invitation walked into the courtyard with a complicated feeling in his heart.

When he first met Shi Anran, he no longer had any impression of her. But after his wife passed away, he gradually realized that the young miss was actually different from what he imagined.

Especially after doing such a small misdeed, the complacent look on her face seemed to have become even more captivating, as if there was a ray of sunlight shining on it.

More and more, he liked to focus his attention on the young miss. As he was lost in his thoughts, the front yard was already here.

"Brother Wang, why are you here?"

Upon seeing Wang Yuan, the little guard that was waiting in the front yard ran over happily.

Wang Yuan was their big brother. Although he had been transferred to the Agarwood Institution, his position in the hearts of these guards would not change.

"Is the old master in?"

Hearing Wang Yuan's words, the little guard shook his head, "Nope, isn't old master just returned yesterday? I'm afraid that there's something else in the palace.

"Good kid, now that you've been transferred here, you can be considered to have made a fortune by rising to the rank of an official. Do you not mean that you're getting rich?"

Seeing that their former brothers had improved, Wang Yuan truly felt happy for them from the bottom of his heart.

"Hehe, isn't this all thanks to you, Brother Wang? If it wasn't for you telling the master about me, how could I handle such a good job? "

Hearing Chen Ping's words, Wang Yuan shook his head, "As long as you don't mind this seat being bored, and you are a capable person, if not, even if I proposed this to you, Master would not choose you."

"Brother Wang, you always like this. It was clearly your effort, but you still pushed it away."

The moment Wang Yuan finished speaking, Chen Ping shook his head in disapproval. The two brothers looked at each other and laughed out loud.

But unfortunately, Wang Yuan came for the time it takes an incense stick to burn and he came out from the palace.

When he saw Wang Yuan, Shi Yu was startled. His intuition said that something had happened to Shi Anran and he frowned, "Wang Yuan, follow me in."

After giving some instructions to the people around him, Shi Yu called Wang Yuan into the house.

"But what happened at First Miss's place?"

Hearing Shi Yu's words, Wang Yuan nodded his head lightly, he took out the invitation from his bosom and placed it in front of Shi Yu, "This was sent by Master Xiang this morning."

Thinking back to what Xiang Zheng had said to him at the morning assembly, then looking at the thread in front of him, he could roughly guess what had happened. Shi Yu's eyebrows slightly knitted together.

The Xiang Family was indeed a good marriage and was well-matched, but Xiang Rongqing and her daughter did not come, but if they really did break off the engagement, even if they picked another family, there was no guarantee that anything would happen.

Thinking of this, Shi Yu's emotions became complicated.

"Go back first and ask the young miss to come over in the afternoon." Looking at Wang Yuan who was still standing in front of him, Shi Yu waved his hand, telling him to go back first.

Wang Yuan had seen the conflict on Shi Yu's face earlier, he remembered Yi Yue's warning to him before he left, and he cupped his hands, then turned and walked out.

After receiving the message from Wang Yuan, Shi Anran frowned, but did not say much as she chased the girls out.

As she sat on the bed, she stared blankly at the peony her mother had embroidered for her. It looked like her father was also hesitant about the decision he had made last time.

No, she couldn't continue like this. She had to find a chance for herself.

She remembered that in her previous life, Shi Anyi sought for the chance to go out on the day of the Origin Festival and coincidentally met with a few princes. Although she was not clear about everyone, but it might be her chance during the Origin Festival.

She was confident that as long as she could meet the Third Prince again, she would be able to realize her plan.

Perhaps because she had thought it through, Shi Anran did not suppress herself anymore. After finishing lunch and resting for a while, Shi Anran headed back to the courtyard.

Although she had already anticipated her father's thoughts, she still found it hard to accept it when she heard it.

"Anran, Father had thought about it for a long time, although Xiang Rongqing is not a merciful person, but other than that, the Xiang Family is a good home, and even if it is the other family, we do not know, there might be other problems, the decision Father made last time was too abrupt, I did not think it through, Anran, don't think about it, we still have to do things safely, and do our best to not end our own path."

Hearing Shi Yu's words, Shi Anran knew that her father was doing this for her sake, so she did it this way. However, she had her own plans, but in this situation, she could only nod her head and agree.

"Everything will be decided by father, Anran does not complain."

Seeing that Shi Anran was sensible, Shi Yu nodded her head in gratification. Just as she was about to speak, there was a knock on the door.

Shi Anran turned her body, "Daddy, go ahead. Daughter will not disturb you."

Shi Yu knew that he had just returned, and there were a lot of things to do. He nodded and in order to avoid running into another male, Shi Anran took a detour to the back and left.

The moment Shi Anran went out, she immediately saw Yi Yue, who was a little anxious, standing at the entrance. When she saw her figure, she heaved a sigh of relief.

The moment Shi Anran walked out of the front courtyard, Yi Yue walked up to her. Seeing that Shi Anran didn't seem to be unwilling or reluctant at all, she followed behind her and walked back.

On the way back, Shi Anran gave a general summary of what had happened. After returning to Agarwood Courtyard, Yi Yue busied herself with preparing a present for Shi Anran's birthday celebration at the Xiang Residence.

No matter how much Shi Anran hated it, she could not lose the proper etiquette, or else it would be her fault.

She was still an unmarried girl. Even if it wasn't to curry favor with Old Master Xiang, she had to think for her own reputation.

In fact, it would be false to say that her heart did not respond to it.

If Shi Yu did not mention the matter of annulling the engagement, she would not be so disappointed now.

Actually, the most painful thing was to be unable to obtain what one could originally have.
