When Pai Dai heard Qiao Liangjin's voice, she walked out of the room with a big smile on her face and said, ”It's all Miss's favorite food. Eldest Young Master lent the chef to us today just to celebrate our young mistress becoming the peaceful princess.”

Seeing that Qiao Liangjin was the only one standing in the middle of the courtyard, the girl with makeup made a sound of surprise.

Qiao Liangjin looked behind him and asked, ”Who are you looking for?”

”Didn't Miss go to find Zi Yan?” Why didn't Zi Yan come back? ”Isn't the holiday given by the miss over?” A strange thought suddenly appeared in her mind. It was as if the purple smoke was quietly fading away like clouds.

”When I went today, I happened to hear that Zi Yan's little brother had been admitted into the Green Mountain Academy, so I gave her some silver notes to send her brother to school. Zi Yan's little brother is still young.” Qiao Liangjin's face remained unchanged as she lied. She suddenly wished that her lie had become true. That way, when Zi Yan's little brother finished his studies, she would be able to stand in front of them with a smile like a blooming flower.

”Ya, this is a good thing! But why didn't Zi Yan come and tell us all about it?” Dai Di said with a joyous expression.

”That's what I said too. Zi Yan said, 'I just got admitted into the Green Mountain Academy. I didn't lose anything by coming here, so I sent my little brother to school first.'” While saying that, Qiao Liangjin stretched her waist and walked into the house.

Ruo Lan came over with a tray of food. Seeing Qiao Liangjin enter, she smiled and said, ”Pai Di is right.”

Qiao Liangjin sat down at the table and looked at the sumptuous dinner. She patted the stool beside her and smiled: ”Everyone come and sit down.”

The few of them looked at each other and did not refuse. They sat down one by one. Qiao Liangjin picked up his chopsticks and knocked them on the table. She asked, ”Eldest Young Master, are you not coming tonight?”

”First Young Master said he will come over when the teahouse is closed.”

Only then did Qiao Liangjin pick up the closest piece of chicken and taste it. She then said, ”Okay, let's eat together.”

He then lightly slapped the furry fox's head and said, ”Turn into human form, let's have a good meal.”

The little fox raised its head and looked at Qiao Liangjin. It angrily turned around and transformed into Yu Sheng. It spread out its arms and said, ”I'm wearing a apron and I'm eating. Mistress, I'm great, right?”

Spirit Swirls, who was sitting beside him, smiled. He retrieved a blue undergarment from behind his back and handed it over to Yuesheng. Yuesheng put it around his neck and smilingly asked Qiao Liangjin, ”Is this alright?”

”Sure.” As Qiao Liangjin spoke, she once again placed the big chicken leg into Yu Sheng's bowl.

Ruo Lan sat down and noticed that Zi Yan wasn't following her. She asked, ”Miss, where's Zi Yan?”

Just as Qiao Liangjin was about to repeat the scene from before, she heard Yuesheng say, ”Sister Zi Yan's brother had gotten into school and is going to school. There is only Zi Yan at home, so she went to the Green Mountain Academy.”

Qiao Liangjin stared deeply at Yusheng, her eyes filled with gratitude. Every time she said that Zi Yan had left, her heart felt as though it was being stabbed by a knife. She needed great endurance to hold back her tears.

Ruo Lan sighed. ”You shouldn't be in such a hurry. You should at least let us know.”

”Master said the same thing, but it was a long delay. If you didn't go, you would have been removed from the list.” Yu Sheng's words were out in the open.

Qiao Liangjin even had the illusion that Zi Yan was in a hurry to send her little brother to school. The corners of her lips curled up and she looked as graceful and indifferent as a brandy. If people said that a lie would come true ten thousand times, then she was willing to tell that lie ten thousand times.

After eating dinner, Qiao Liangjin sat in the yard. The pear blossom on the tree was blooming again. Along with the swing, the white pear blossoms started falling down one by one, landing on Qiao Liangjin's shoulders and hair.

The Spirit Swirl sat cross-legged at the side and absorbed the moon's essence. It raised its head to see Qiao Liangjin swinging the swing and looked up at the moon. It smiled and said, ”Master, you really look like an immortal.”

”Exorcist? ”Haha, if only I were an immortal, this would be …” As he spoke, his voice gradually became softer.

Yu Sheng gently pulled on Ling Xuan's arm and said, ”Focus on your training. Don't miss out on today's events.”

Qiao Liangjin swept a glance at Yusheng. Today, she realized that the mischievous and ignorant Yusheng was actually a creature with great wisdom. He knew how to hide his sorrow.

Qiao Ruo Ying's voice came from outside the door. Qiao Liangjin's temples suddenly jumped as he jumped off the swing and headed towards the door to greet his big brother. He did not expect that Qiao Zheng and Qiao Ruo Ying would come together.

Qiao Liangjin quickly said, ”I wonder if Father and Big Bro came over together.”

”Jin'er, today is a good day for our family. Everyone has come out. Look at you, you have become a princess of the first rank.” Qiao Zheng could not hide his glee.

Qiao Liangjin's downcast eyes slightly dimmed. If it wasn't for this damned reward, if she had felt something was off earlier, she would have gone over. Perhaps she could have saved Zi Yan …
