I was wondering why the old lady had come too, but when I saw Bai Mei behind her, I understood.
The old lady stomped her cane and said, "Why won't you marry? You absolutely must marry!"
“Mother…” Liu Mengjun’s expression changed.
Lin Ruixuan glanced at the unmoved woman beside him, and his initial reluctance seemed to disappear.
"Ruixuan... your father and the Liu family have always been on good terms. How is your grandmother's health lately?"
Lin Ruixuan said, "The old lady is in relatively good health, but she always feels lonely and has no one to talk to."
"Yes, she's getting on in years... When can you talk to your grandmother about coming to visit me sometime? We two old folks can have a chat."
"That would be wonderful. I would definitely say so."
"Speaking of the marriage alliance with the Lin family, there were some twists and turns at first, but good things come to those who wait, right?"
"Yes,"
"Meng girl, come out."
Liu Mengshi stepped out from behind the curtain.
"Greetings to Second Master Lin," Liu Mengshi said shyly, her feminine charm fully revealed.
"What's wrong with the old lady..." Lin Ruixuan understood a little.
"Since it was Meng'er who was engaged to the Lin family before, and she was sick before but is now well again, everyone is happy, and the Lin and Liu families can successfully form a marriage alliance."
"Thank you, Madam."
Looking at that old lady who had a smile on her face the whole time, I felt that she was truly a cunning old fox who had cultivated for a thousand years.
"Oh dear, the old lady is so clever! Now everything is perfect!" Bai Mei said with a smile. "Why don't you thank the old lady?"
"Thank you, Grandma."
"Your little affairs... can't escape my eyes..." The old lady lowered her eyelids, her face full of dissatisfaction.
Bai Mei looked embarrassed and awkwardly left with Liu Mengshi.
"Moon Girl, come here."
Touching his nose, he realized he couldn't outwit the old fox. He stepped forward.
"You didn't suffer the consequences of this family law either, did you..."
"Sharp eyes..." I smiled awkwardly, "Grandmother is clever."
"Stop flattering me." He straightened his face. "We haven't even finished explaining the competition with that courtesan."
“My dear grandmother, I was just bored, so I decided to have a competition.”
"I think you've become too wild. Alright, I think you should go and study..."
"Grandmother, what do you mean?"
"Go to the palace with your third brother and study there."
Oh my god... I slumped onto the table, feeling depressed, thinking about my miserable tomorrow.
"Miss, don't be sad. There are so many people who would give up the chance to study with the princes and grandsons!"
“What’s so good about studying? Sigh…” He suddenly stood up.
"What's wrong, Miss?"
"Let's go to the Hundred Flowers Pavilion."
"Miss, do we...do we need to climb over the wall?"
"Yes, hurry up!!" I urged.
He grabbed her and jumped down, "Ahhh..."
"Stop yelling." I took her hand. "Coward."
Ping'er's face turned bright red.
I've only taken a few steps forward.
She was bumped, "Sister Liu..."
A soft, familiar voice. "Shota?"
"It's me. I finally managed to get it out. Sister Liu, I really missed you so much..." She rubbed her head against him.
It looks like a puppy.
"Sister Liu, where are you going?" she asked curiously.
"Let's go to the Hundred Flowers Pavilion."
"Huh?" The mouth dropped open.
Hopefully, he will back down when faced with difficulties.
"Okay, I'll go too." Dugu Ziyi was overjoyed and tightly grasped the hand of his beloved Sister Liu.
Upon seeing this, Ping'er exclaimed in a panic, "Miss..." This was terrible! An unmarried woman and a man holding hands in the street...
"What's the panic?" she asked kindly. "Little boy, how old are you?"
"Sister Liu, I am twelve years old this year."
He said to Ping'er, "Look, look, they're all minors!"
Ping'er was on the verge of tears; many royals could get married at the age of thirteen.

Chapter 7 Hundred Flowers Pavilion
"Sister Liu, what's going on..." Dugu Ziyi looked at Liu Feiyue, who came out of a clothing store, with surprise.
With a flick of her fan, she said, "You're calling me Brother Liu now, are you here yet?"
Dugu Ziyi called out sweetly, "Brother Liu."
Then he glanced at Ping'er.
Ping'er covered her mouth and chuckled, "Yes, young master."
"That's more like it!"
Upon entering the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, one is immediately drawn to the beautiful and vibrant paintings of ladies on the walls. "So beautiful..."
"Miss, these are all paintings commissioned from famous artists for the winner of the annual Flower Fairy Festival."
"Flower Fairy Festival? What's that?"
Dugu Ziyi quickly interjected, "It's a festival to select the most beautiful woman. On that day, all the unmarried young women of adulthood from various families go out to celebrate. There's a competition at the Hundred Flowers Pavilion."
"Really? How did you know?" He gave the little guy a meaningful smile.
Dugu Ziyi lowered her head, somewhat awkwardly whispering, "It was...it was me...whom Xiao Guizi told me..."
"Xiao Guizi...it sounds like a eunuch's name."
Dugu Ziyi's shoulders trembled with fright, but she was relieved when she saw that Sister Liu had no other reaction.
"So..." After taking a few steps forward, "This woman... why does she look so familiar?"
Seeing that the person beside her was no longer responding, Ping'er said, "This woman is Xue Rou, the one who competed with the young master that time."
Suddenly someone popped out from behind, "This is your first time here, isn't it? You don't even know Miss Xue Rou."
Turning around, he saw a man with small eyes, a wide chin, a big nose, and a somewhat chubby appearance. He narrowed his eyes and smiled, "This Xue Rou is the goddess of the Flower Fairy Festival for three consecutive years."
"Oh, really?" She turned to leave with Dugu Ziyi and Ping'er.
"Wait...wait..."
Ping'er turned around and said, "Young Master, that fat man is chasing after us, panting heavily!"
"Never mind him, let's go."
We entered a top-tier room on the fourth floor of the Hundred Flowers Pavilion.
Listening to some music and sipping tea—it couldn't be more pleasant.
"Young master, why didn't you let that fat man follow?"
I smiled nonchalantly and pointed to Dugu Ziyi beside me, "Look how enthusiastically he follows us, isn't it just because of our cute little boy?"
Ping'er suddenly realized, her mind had become sharper after following me for so long. "So he's... a homosexual!" She glanced at Dugu Ziyi. "I'd heard some gentlemen in various households had this hobby, but I never expected..."
“That’s called pedophilia!” I continued.
