Madam Xiao smiled brightly as she prepared to enter, but was stopped by a hand from Lian Tian. ”Madam, please excuse yourself. Your excellency said that you are busy with official business. Please return first.”

”…” She looked for a way out herself and said, ”That's right, I forgot. Recently, the old master has been busy with his work, so he has been busy with his work, so when the old master is free, I'll come back.”

She turned around with a smile on her face, but when she turned around, the smile froze on her face.

She purposely dressed up today and walked proudly over with the broth. Everyone knew that she, the Madam, had happily come over to Lian Yanqing's side, but now she was also carrying the broth all the way back. It was truly too embarrassing to be seen by others.

Her hand, which was holding the broth, was tightly wrapped around the rim of the bowl. Her fingertips were pale.

After returning to the Clear Spring Academy, she slammed her bowl down on the table, her expression extremely unsightly. Zhen mama walked over and asked, ”Madam, what's wrong?”

”This soup is too salty. Master doesn't like it. Pour it in and boil it again!”

”Yes.” Senior Servant Zhen didn't understand what was going on. After carrying the bowl of soup out, she took a bite from the spoon and said to herself, ”The taste just so happens to be good. It's not salty at all.”

On a veranda not far from Lian Yan Qing's study, Lian Ruyue stood there quietly. She wore a plum flower pattern on her crimson cloak, and her hands were holding onto a Tang Mu. She looked extraordinary and refined under the contrast of the snow.

At this moment, her eyes held a hint of a smile. Looking at her extremely peaceful appearance, no one would be able to detect the cold look she gave out from the corner of her eyes.

”Eldest Miss, now that she has a concubine, her tail is raised to the sky. She doesn't even go to pay respects to Eldest Madam anymore. I didn't expect that the Master would ignore her. What a relief.” Fairy Qingmei stood at the side and saw with her own eyes how the Xiao Clan was so angry that they couldn't react and had to smile just now.

Unexpectedly, Lian Xiyue only lightly said, ”As expected.”

Indeed, even though Xiao Xian Min had already become an equal wife, this was not Lian Yan Qing's original intention, it was forced upon her by the emperor. Lian Yan Qing was originally not happy in his heart, and not only that, she was also a ”Heaven Destroyer, Calamity Star”, which meant that whoever got close to her was unlucky.

Xiao Xian Min was overestimating her position in Lian Yan Qing's heart.

”Return to the Immortal Lotus Courtyard.” Lian Yueyue turned and left, passing through two corridors, then a long hand veranda, then two archways, stepping on the ground. The snow creaked.

”It's always snowing. I wonder when it will stop.” Qing Dai, who was holding Lian Ruyue's hand, couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the vast expanse of whiteness in the prime minister's residence.

Previously, they had been living in Yao City. It was a rare sight to see snow all year round. This was the first time they had seen snow like this.

”That's right. This year's snow was especially heavy. It lasted a bit longer.” Lian Ruyue said as she thought of something.

”I wonder how young master is doing now?” ”He has always been taken care of well by others, but now that he has suddenly left, that guy 49 or 90 is still a man after all. I wonder if he will be able to take good care of us.” Senior Servant Li suddenly said.

Once her words left her mouth, everyone looked at Lian Yue Yue, but she didn't say anything. Everyone immediately fell silent, and the only sound that could be heard was the crunching of snow under their feet.

Just as he was about to step into the lotus flower courtyard, a shadow suddenly flew over.
