In front of the Tang Mansion

  The people who came were Tang Shan and Tang Chu Xue, whom An Yan had just met. Looking at these two people, he didn't know how to describe his emotions at this moment.

  Her eyes dimmed slightly for a moment, then she smiled lightly and said: "Father and Chūyuki sister, how do you have time to come over today?"

  He had just finished speaking and turned around to face Bai Ping, who was full of anger, saying: "Brother-in-law, have Xiao Er send a pot of tea up."

  Upon hearing this, Bai Ping looked at An Yan with some worry, feeling uneasy in his heart, fearing that An Yan would be bullied by Tang Shan and Tang Chu Xue.

  Seeing Bai Ping like this, I suddenly felt amused. Facing Tang Chu Xue, such a big beauty, his own cousin was unmoved, this is really a good man.

  Bai Ping compromised under An's calm and peaceful gaze, turned around and left, leaving the space to the three of them.

  Tangshan withdrew his gaze from Bai Ping and seemed to lower his head, but in reality, his eyes were quietly shifting towards An Yan.

  At the beginning of the snow, Tang's face was elegant and calm, with a smile on her face that seemed to bloom like a snow lotus. At first glance, it was full of stunning beauty. She naturally reached out and took An Yan's hand, saying softly: "Jinxiu, tomorrow is the day when I will be engaged to Yulang. You are my dear sister, so you must attend tomorrow. My father and I have personally come to invite you, so you can't refuse our invitation."

  After hearing this, An Yan slightly lowered her eyelids, also hiding her thoughts.

  Tang Chu Xue made herself attend her arranged marriage banquet, was this showing off or something else?

  No matter what, it's not a good thing. An Yan wanted to refuse, but when Yu Guang saw Tang Shan's indifferent face, the words turned around in his throat and were swallowed back down.

  She didn't say a word, but Tang Chu Xue turned around and hugged Tang Shan's arm, coquettishly saying: "Father, you said so, right? Father, tomorrow is my engagement ceremony, you promised that as long as I'm happy, all my requests will be fulfilled?"

  An Wen had a strange feeling, Tang Chu Xue's actions were very deliberate, as if she was provoking her.

  Tangshan raised his head and looked at An Yan with a bland expression, saying in a neither hot nor cold tone: "You can come tomorrow, after all, you are also Xue Er's sister."

  Sister? Does this mean she should still be grateful to have a sister who robbed her of her husband?

  A sharp glint of crystal color flashed in An Yan's eyes, and his expression remained calm, but he nodded slightly in response.

  "Okay, I'll definitely be there on time tomorrow."

  As soon as she returned to her senses, the scene of Tang Jinxiu and her mother being driven out flashed through her mind, along with Tang Shan's indifferent face. The incident occurred without warning, and before anyone could react, Tang Shan suddenly flew into a rage and drove Tang Jinxiu and her mother out. Behind this, was it Tang Shan's cold-bloodedness or was there another hidden reason? Moreover, what role did Tang Shan play in the history of the White family that she knew about? She wanted to seek the truth for her original body and ask for justice.

  This is one of them, and another is that she wants to replace the original body to take a look, to see the man she has been in love with, but ultimately married her sister. This can also be said to have given the original body's emotions a result.

  Tangshan took a deep look at An Yan, his eyes filled with a sense of helplessness, and his emotions flashed by in an instant.

  Tang Chu's eyes were deeply fixed on An Yan, and the thoughtfulness in his gaze grew thicker.

  This Tang Jinxiu seems to have changed a lot. The former willfulness and impulsiveness, the former quick temper, can't be seen at all now. Is something happening in between? It seems that she needs to investigate thoroughly, she doesn't like things beyond her control to happen. Especially when it comes to Tang Jinxiu, her happiness is built on the basis of Tang Jinxiu, so Tang Jinxiu absolutely cannot have a chance to turn over.

  "That sister must come tomorrow, little sister will go back first."

  Tang Chu Xue smiled and got what she wanted, then left with Tang Shan without saying much.

  Bai Ping walked in with a jug of water, only to find that Tangshan and the others had already left. He couldn't help but feel a little regretful, saying: "They left so quickly, what a waste that I prepared good tea for them."

  When he said the two words "good tea", Bai Ping's smile was somewhat awkward, just like a mischievous big boy.

  "Brother, let's stay in Qing City for two more days and leave the day after tomorrow. I just promised the Tang family that I'll go back tomorrow to attend Tang Chu Xue's engagement banquet."

  Bai Ping's eyes widened in shock, "Jin Xiu, are you sure you want to go? Tang Chu Xue is clearly not good-hearted. They will drive you out again, what if they bully you when you go back?"

  An Yan knew that Bai Ping was concerned about himself, so he replied in a soft voice: "Tomorrow's occasion is what, at that time the famous families of Qingcheng will all come to participate, and the Tang family dare not make it too ugly."

  Bai Ping listened and knew in her heart that it was impossible to persuade her cousin, so she could only humbly say: "Then tomorrow I'll go with you, at least we can't let you be bullied easily."

  An Yan suddenly felt a slight tremble in her fingers, words of concern for Bai Ping's innocence. This was concern, genuine and sincere, the kind that belonged to loved ones.

  She pretended to be serious and said: "But Brother can't accompany me, tomorrow is a very important thing that Brother has to do."

  "What's wrong?"

  Bai Ping furrowed her brow, looking at An Yan with some confusion.

  "Tomorrow, Brother Tai will go to Qingcheng to take a look around and investigate the situation of Qingcheng's Zhuyeqing. Who knows, soon our White family's Zhuyeqing might enter Qingcheng."

  When she spoke, her face wore a smiling expression, as if she were just joking. But at this moment, only she herself knew the persistence and determination in her heart.

  Although Bai Ping was still worried in his heart, he couldn't argue with An Yan's words. It was better to accept his fate and set off early to investigate the situation of Qing Cheng's Zhuye Qing.

  On the other hand, An Yan wore a coarse green linen garment and went out.

  She walked slowly to the Tang's house and saw that the entrance of the Tang's house was already filled with a joyful atmosphere. At this time, guests were pouring in, and the scene was quite grand.

  She has not yet entered, but she has already become the focus of everyone's attention.

  "Is that Tang Jinxiu?"

  "Her appearance is ordinary, but her temperament is not like that at all. Moreover, how could Tang Jinxiu dress up like this? This outfit is only suitable for a rural woman."

  "Right, it's really strange. And you see, she even wore a woman's bun."

  ……

  A din by her ear, yet she remained unmoved. She strolled all the way to the entrance, where the butler stood waiting for guests, seemingly oblivious to her presence, as if he hadn't seen her at all.

  An Yan suddenly stopped in his tracks and stood still in front of the butler, looking at him with clear eyes.

  The housekeeper was chilled by that gaze, but thinking of his wife's orders, he straightened his back again and waited for Tang Jinxiu to make a move. Then, following his wife's instructions, he drove Tang Jinxiu out in disarray on the pretext of making trouble.

  "Yesterday, Chuxue's sister specially came to the inn where I live and invited me, saying that I must attend her engagement ceremony. However, Chu Xue and Yu Lang had a marriage agreement in the past. Although nothing happened between us, to avoid suspicion, I decided it was better not to attend after some thought. So, please trouble you, housekeeper, to pass on my message to Chuxue's sister for me. I really don't blame her for being with Ruan Gongzi, just as they said, they truly love each other. It would be meaningless for me and Ruan Gongzi to be together reluctantly. Let Chuxue's sister rest assured, I have truly let go. Moreover, I am already married."

  With a calm and gentle smile on his face, he slowly walked away with elegant steps.
