After leaving the Shangshangju Teahouse, Yan'er took Suiyu directly back to Xiao's Mansion. But as soon as he entered the house, he was called to the main hall by Xiao Siwen.

"Father, are you looking for me?" Yan'er asked.

Xiao Siwen raised his head lightly and said slowly, "Are you back?" Come, come and sit. ”

Yan'er chose a position not far from Xiao Siwen to sit down, and then quietly waited for Xiao Siwen to speak.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Siwen stretched out his hand and gently handed over a red post, and Yan'er took it and opened it to see.

"The emperor has tentatively scheduled to come to the door to marry in person on the eighth day of the next month, do you have any objections?"

Yan'er put away the holy decree, and then said softly: "It's all up to my father to decide."

Xiao Siwen ordered the slaves and maids around him to take out nine very beautifully made sandalwood boxes from the back hall, and then said slowly: "It has been nine years since you came to the Xiao family, and I, as a father, have nothing to give you, these should all be dowries prepared for you by my father."

Although Yan'er expected that Xiao Siwen must be looking for her marriage to the emperor, she didn't expect that Xiao Siwen would prepare such a rich dowry for herself, which really flattered her. So he excused himself again and again: "Father, you have been treating me like your own daughter for the past nine years, Yan'er is already grateful, and I really don't need my father to spend so much." ”

"It's because I've always treated you like my own daughter, so I can't treat you badly." Xiao Siwen said earnestly.

"But"

After Xiao Siwen waved his hand to let the maids leave, he took out a jade pendant from his body and handed it to Yan'er. Yan'er took it slowly, and saw that the water head of the jade pendant was excellent, the carving was fine, a dragon and a phoenix just complemented each other, and a big Xiao character was engraved in the middle.

"This?" Yan'er raised her head and looked at Xiao Siwen suspiciously.

"Those previous jewels were all dowries prepared for you by our entire Xiao Mansion, only this one is the heirloom of my Xiao family, and I will give it to you today. Although you and Yu'er have a deep relationship, but in the end, you have been heart-to-heart, in my heart, you are not only my daughter-in-law, but also the most satisfied daughter-in-law in my heart. ”

"Father, you know everything?" Yan'er obviously didn't expect Xiao Siwen to say this.

Xiao Siwen nodded, looked at Yan'er, and then said, "Before leaving the Yang Mansion, Yu'er and his mother had already told me everything that happened back then. Yu'er's mother has repeatedly asked me to take care of you, so whether it's for myself or for Yu'er, I will definitely protect you. ”

Speaking of Yang Ningyu, Yan'er unconsciously put her hand on her abdomen, and infinite sadness suddenly appeared in her heart, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

At this moment, Lu Bugu walked in accompanied by the maid, and Yan'er quickly withdrew the hand on her abdomen, for fear of revealing a little flaw.

"Mother is back?" Yan'er asked softly with a smile.

Lu Bugu didn't even dare to look at Yan'er, so she nodded extremely unnaturally, although she tried her best to hide the panic in her heart, she was still seen by Xiao Siwen.

"What's wrong with Madame? How did you get so panicked when you came back? Xiao Siwen frowned and asked.

Lu Bugu realized his gaffe at this time, so he forced himself to calm down and calm down, and soon regained his calm, so Wanwan came: "The husband is too worried, the concubine body just thought that Yan'er would enter the palace in a few days, and since then our mother and daughter have been separated by the palace wall forever, and when I think of this, the concubine's heart is all kinds of uncomfortable." ”

When Yan'er heard this, she suddenly felt funny: It's really better to say than to sing, in fact, how much affection does Lu Bugu have for Yan'er in his heart, and how many people in this house don't know? But he still pretends to be so virtuous and loving.

These people, all of them have countless little ninety-nine in their hearts, and their intestines are twisted and turned, which is more tortuous than nine bends and eighteen bends, and Yan'er feels tired and panicked when she thinks about it. But in the end, now that he is committed to someone else's house, it is not convenient to really turn his face.

So Yan'er had no choice but to keep a good smile and say to Lu Bugu: "Yan'er thank my mother for her concern, if he enters the palace as a concubine one day, I will never forget my mother's teaching and care, and I will go home to visit my parents from time to time." ”

Lu Bugu snorted coldly unconsciously, this girl is really sharp-toothed now, and she says everything so meekly, but she has a deep meaning. It seems that you can't look at this stinky girl from the previous eyes.

Yan'er didn't want to stay with Lu Bugu any longer, so she casually made an excuse and went back to the room.

Xiao Siwen watched Yan'er leave, and then turned his gaze to Lu Bugu's body, but inadvertently saw a new golden hairpin on Lu Bugu's head, which was particularly eye-catching.

"Madame, this hairpin is so exquisite, why have I never seen you wear it before?" Xiao Siwen picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea and said.

Lu Bugu then remembered that the hairpin that the woman had put on her had never been removed. At this time, when Xiao Siwen asked like this, his heart became panicked again.

"This ...... This is...... The concubine body ...... just now On the street...... Just bought. ”

Xiao Siwen glanced up at Lu Bugu, and then said slowly while drinking tea: "Madame looks very good with this hairpin, so I will wear more in the future." If the lady has nothing else to do, go back to her room first. ”

Because of his weak heart, Lu Bugu didn't dare to stay for a long time, and he went back to the room directly after a while.

After Lu Bugu left, Xiao Siwen put down the teacup. Since when did he and Lu Bugu become so strangers. In the past, he had always treated her politely, although he was not as affectionate as honey, but in the end he was peaceful and docile, but I don't know why he suddenly became so strange recently. Lu Bugu, who has always treated him as gentle as water, has been a little unreasonable several times recently.

Probably because she was too cold to Lu Bugu in the past, and her heart was completely dead. Thinking about it, in essence, the responsibility still lies with himself, so his heart is full of guilt.

It is said that women are flowers and need someone to irrigate them from time to time. It seems that in the future, I still have to care more about Lu Bugu, Xiao Siwen thought.

When Yan'er returned to her room, she locked herself in it alone.

Then he slowly took out the jade pendant that Xiao Siwen gave her just now. She didn't expect that this piece of jade would be exactly the same as the ancient jade she had been carrying. The woman in the dream had told her that there was only one piece of this ancient jade in the world. It seems that she is really Xiao Xuan.
