Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Since you call me sister, you don’t need to call me Second Young Miss anymore. Just call me Sister Ruyun.”

“Alright, then from now on I’ll call you Sister Ruyun.”

“Mmm, then I’ll call you Xin Er, just like my elder sister do.”

Jiang Peihuan had noticed the change in Jiang Ruyun.

In her previous life, Jiang Ruyun was confused for a long time. In this life, fortunately, everything was moving in a positive direction.

“Sister Jiang, 1 came today to bid you farewell.”

“Are you going back to the mansion?”

Hearing Liu Xin’s words, Jiang Peihuan’s eyes showed a hint of surprise.

Meeting Jiang Peihuan’s eyes, Liu Xin smiled and said, “The wound on my leg has healed, and it’s time to go back to the mansion.”

“Have you told my elder brother about this?”

Thinking of Jiang Changbo, Jiang Peihuan couldn’t help but speak, but Liu Xin’s smile gained a trace of helplessness upon hearing that name.

Looking at Jiang Peihuan, Liu Xin continued, “I won’t go to see Young Master Jiang.”

“Sister Jiang, besides saying goodbye, 1 have a favor to ask of you.”

As she spoke, Liu Xin took a bundle from her maid’s hand.

Handing the bundle to Jiang Peihuan, Liu Xin spoke softly, “When 1 was injured, Young Master Jiang tore a piece of his clothing to bandage my wound, so 1 made this for him to express my gratitude.”

“Why don’t you give it to him yourself?”

“Sister Jiang, please help me.”

Hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words, Liu Xin smiled and didn’t say anything.

Seeing this, Jiang Peihuan could only nod, taking the bundle, “Alright, I’ll give it to my elder brother for you.”

“Thank you, Sister Jiang. I’ll take my leave now.”

With that, Liu Xin stood up.

Watching her figure, Jiang Peihuan couldn’t help but speak, “Do you want me to send someone to escort you back to the mansion?”

“No need, Uncle has already arranged it.”

Hearing this, Jiang Peihuan didn’t say anything more.

Jiang Ruyun, watching Liu Xin’s departing figure, couldn’t help but turn to Jiang Peihuan and say, “Elder sister, do you think Xin Er is in love with our elder brother?”

“Don’t gossip about a young lady’s reputation,” Jiang Peihuan cautioned, her voice gentle but firm.

To anyone with eyes, Liu Xin’s feelings were quite evident.

But considering the reality of their situation, if Liu Xin truly wanted to marry Jiang Changbai, there were numerous challenges and obstacles that she would have to face.

Hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words, Jiang Ruyun nodded, understanding her sister’s point of view.

Just as they were preparing to leave, the maid, Yue Er, approached them again.

“Eldest Miss, the Eldest Princess’s Mansion has sent an invitation. They’re inviting the young ladies to enjoy the flowers,” she announced, holding the delicate invitation in her hands.

“What a strange time for this,” Jiang Ruyun exclaimed, unable to hide her surprise.

“What flowers are there to enjoy now?”

Hearing Yue Er’s words, Jiang Peihuan remained silent but her brow furrowed

At this time, the Eldest Princess had invited the young ladies from various families to enjoy the flowers, but Jiang Peihuan felt something was off.

Her unease wasn’t resolved until she saw Lin Mengyao beside the Eldest Princess, and the realization dawned.

The event was set for the evening, but no one dared arrive late or just on time. Thus, by the afternoon, the place was bustling with guests.

Since Jiang Sijin was in the military camp, only Jiang Peihuan and Jiang Ruyun from the Jiang family were present.

Soon after settling down, Jiang Peihuan noticed Lin Mengyao, who was supporting the Eldest Princess, walking towards her.

Lin Mengyao had become a favored guest at the Eldest Princess’s mansion ever since she saved Prince An there. Her astuteness, combined with the skill of reading people, had led the Eldest Princess to take special care of her.

Just as it happened this time, Lin Mengyao casually mentioned to the Eldest Princess that the capital hadn’t hosted a ladies’ banquet in a while, prompting the Eldest Princess to immediately send out invitations.

“Yao Er, you are so clever. These flowers are more lively when admired together,” the Eldest Princess remarked as she approached, met with respectful bows from the crowd.

Watching the vibrant scene unfold, she smiled and spoke to Lin Mengyao.

Hearing this, Lin Mengyao softly laughed, “All the young ladies here are as beautiful as flowers, enhancing the scene. 1 believe, Princess, seeing them will lift your mood.”

Her words deftly praised not only the Eldest Princess but also the young ladies in attendance.

At first, the sight of Lin Mengyao’s closeness with the Eldest Princess had excited the crowd, given that many of the young ladies present were of higher status. However, Lin Mengyao’s graceful words tempered their jealousy, though some dissatisfaction lingered.

Jiang Peihuan watched the proceedings with a calm detachment until a familiar voice captured her attention.

“Imperial sister, why didn’t you send me an invitation to the banquet?”

Dressed in white and holding a folding fan, Xiao Nanyee walked over with Han Feng.

Seeing Xiao Nanye, the Eldest Princess greeted him with a surprised but welcoming smile, “Who doesn’t know that you are a very busy man?”

“No matter how busy, I must attend Imperial sister’s banquet,” he replied, his eyes unconsciously drifting towards Jiang Peihuan.

The room noticed, and all eyes turned to her, jealousy in their glances.

Though many young ladies in the capital yearned to marry Xiao Nanye, his cold demeanor had kept them at bay. Yet, his newfound affection for someone was a pill they found hard to swallow.

“Imperial aunt, how could you not inform your nephews about such a fun event?”

More figures appeared, including Prince An, Prince Rui, and others. Jiang Peihuan also spotted Xiao Junhao, looking uninjured and dashing in his black brocade robe.

Her gaze shifted quickly, but Xiao Junhao’s eyes lingered on her.

Because of the banquet, Jiang Peihuan wore a light blue gown instead of her usual plain attire, rendering her exceptionally ethereal.

Xiao Junhao’s admiration was palpable, and he found it hard to tear his gaze away, only doing so at a cold warning glance from Xiao Nanyee.

Observing the subtle exchange, the Eldest Princess smiled and commanded, “Enough, everyone take your seats.”

As everyone found their places, Xiao Nanye’s voice rang out, “Huan Er, come sit beside me.”

He spoke openly, and though Jiang Peihuan looked at him helplessly, he turned to a maid, ordering, “Prepare another chair.”

“Yes.”

Even in the Eldest Princess’s mansion, the maid obeyed Xiao Nanye without question.

“Eldest Miss Jiang, come here quickly,” Prince An called, even shifting to make room as the maid brought the chair..
