Mrs. Wu was nearly ten years old, with a slightly plump figure but dignified appearance. Her youthful charm could be seen between her eyebrows. She smiled and glared at Wu Yuelin.
"How could I stop my son from dating a girl? Your mother is not an evil mother-in-law."
"Yes, yes, yes, that's what mother said. Anyone who marries into our Wu family and meets a good mother-in-law like you will have burned a lot of incense in his previous life!"
Wu Yuelin went up and took Mrs. Wu's hand, her usual indifference completely gone from her brows and eyes.
After Wu Mu recovered from her injury, she didn't mention inviting Zhang Xiuyu out at all, so today she took Wu Mu out to visit the temple fair and invited Zhang Xiuyu out to arrange a chance encounter.
Wu Yuelin's words made Madam Wu laugh.
Wu Mu opened the curtain of the carriage and poked half of his face in, "A-niang, sister, what are you talking about that makes you so happy? How about I help you drive today?"
Wu Yuelin immediately responded: "Of course it's great."
This way, when the shopping is over, Wu Mu can find an excuse to send Zhang Xiuyu home.
The three of them did not bring any servants. Wu Mu drove the car himself, chatting and laughing, and happily rushed to the temple fair in the north of the city.

Pei Xiuyan went to court very early today. When he arrived at Jiangjiayuan, Ye Chuyan had just finished his breakfast.
"Ayan, what is this?" Pei Xiuyan smiled and took out a letter from his sleeve.
Ye Chuyan was a little excited, "Is it a letter from Auntie?"
Pei Xiuyan pulled her to sit down and thrust the letter into her hand.
Ye Chuyan opened the letter tremblingly,
Mrs. Ye said in the letter: They were arranged to live in a five-room courtyard in the Exile Land. The environment was acceptable. Although it was not comparable to the Ye Mansion, it was the best treatment in the Exile Land. On weekdays, Didn't suffer anything.
everything is fine.
He also said that Ye Chuyan’s sister-in-law suffered from severe morning sickness, and everyone said that she was a naughty kid inside.
Just a piece of paper, Ye Chuyan read it again and again, wanting to cry and laugh at the same time.
It's great that Aniang and the others are fine over there. No matter how much wrong she suffers, it is no longer a wrong.
Pei Xiuyan went up and gently wiped away her tears, "Ayan, don't cry."
Ye Chuyan raised his eyes and looked at Pei Xiuyan, "Thank you."
These two words came from the bottom of my heart. Thank you Pei Xiuyan for keeping his promise and not letting the female members of the Ye family suffer. Everything is fine.
Pei Xiuyan sensed Ye Chuyan's sincerity, he was a little touched, and gently kissed the corner of Ye Chuyan's eyes.
"Ayan, come with me to the temple fair. Can I write back to your grandma in the evening?"
Pei Xiuyan remembered that Ye Chuyan wanted him to accompany him to the temple fair every year to experience the excitement and fireworks at the temple fair, but he never agreed.
Now, he wants to compensate Ye Chuyan for all the things he didn't do before.
Ye Chuyan nodded in agreement.
Pei Xiuyan didn't want others to disturb his and Ye Chuyan's opportunity to be alone, so he didn't bring any guards or maids with him. He rode a horse and held Ye Chuyan in his arms, and the two of them wandered to the temple fair.
Pei Xiuyan wore a white gold silk embroidered bamboo round-neck robe and an emerald crown jade. His original cold and handsome appearance made him appear even more independent, noble and elegant.
Ye Chuyan wore a dress made of the same material as Pei Xiuyan's clothes. She had a bun with an emerald jade hairpin inserted sideways. It was simple but elegant. Her eyes were shining and exquisite.
These clothes and hair accessories were specially made by Pei Xiuyan for Mrs. Mo. The man was handsome and the woman was pretty, dressed similarly, and had outstanding temperament. The two of them rode a horse together on the street, attracting the attention of passers-by.
Ye Chuyan nestled on Pei Xiuyan's chest, with a slight smile on her face, as if she was shy, but there was an endless coldness in her eyes.
If Pei Xiuyan treated her like this in the past, she would tell the world and let everyone know that she was the happiest woman in Kyoto.
But not now.
Pei Xiuyan can choose to ignore the hurt of the past, but she can't forget it.
After Pei Xiuyan threw her from the attic and destroyed the Ye family, she and Pei Xiuyan only had hatred and no love in their lives.
Compromising now is just waiting for the opportunity to come and drag him to hell together.
"Are you happy, madam?" The heat lingered in Ye Chuyan's ears, which itched a little, interrupting her thoughts.
Ye Chuyan said coquettishly: "My lord, don't make trouble, there are so many people watching."
When Pei Xiuyan heard the word "Prince", he felt inexplicably unhappy.
He held Ye Chuyan's hand tightly and said, "Ayan, since you don't want to call me Brother Yan like before, how about you call me 'A Ce' from now on?"
Ye Chuyan's body stiffened.
Ace is Pei Xiuyan's nickname, which was given by the late old princess herself.
After the old princess passed away, Pei Xiuyan did not allow anyone to call him by this nickname.
"A Ce?" This name is better than calling him Brother Yan.
When Pei Xiuyan heard Ye Chuyan's crisp "A Ce", he felt as if he had gotten honey, and felt very sweet in his heart.
"My lady, sit still."
As soon as he finished speaking, he started to rush towards the temple fair.
Ye Chuyan was unprepared and suddenly leaned back, leaning entirely on Pei Xiuyan. This made Pei Xiuyan fight faster and faster.
Arriving at the north of the city, Pei Xiuyan was a little surprised.
This was his first time at the temple fair. He thought there weren't many people who came early, but he didn't expect that there would be all kinds of street vendors shouting loudly, and there would be a huge crowd of people everywhere.
On several temporary stages, opera singers were singing and singing, and there were crowds of people watching the show below. From time to time, loud cheers erupted from the crowd.
He led Ye Chuyan and walked along the bustling streets of the temple fair, feeling quite amused for a while.
Ye Chuyan suddenly felt much more relaxed because she didn't have to cling to Pei Xiuyan's arms.
After she got married, she hadn't been to a temple fair for three years. When she came here today, she felt like she was in another world.
The two of them stood out among the bustling crowd, like an extra couple of gods and goddesses in the bustling city.
There was a bold woman who secretly threw handkerchiefs and fruits at Pei Xiuyan. Ye Chuyan wanted to laugh. How many stupid women in the world were like her, who admired Pei Xiuyan for his good looks.
Pei Xiuyan's eyebrows were cold, and the cold air flowed from his body. He glanced around, and the girls who were so scared that they threw their handkerchiefs felt cold in their hearts.
Ye Chuyan didn't want to cause trouble, so he pulled Pei Xiuyan and said, "Ace, I remember there is a Tilan Temple in front of us. How about we offer some incense there?"
Pei Xiuyan liked that Ye Chuyan called him A Ce, so he immediately softened his expression and said dotingly: "Today, it's all up to my wife to take charge."

Wu Mu drove Wu Yuelin and Mrs. Wu to the temple fair, and Wu Yuelin proposed to burn incense at Tilan Temple first.
Wu Mu had no doubt about it and went with it.
Tilan Temple is the most popular temple in Kyoto. Every February 2nd, it is even more crowded.
Wu Mu didn't believe this. He was afraid of blaspheming the gods and Buddhas, so he found an excuse to wait for Wu Yuelin and Mrs. Wu outside the temple.
He was bored, so he leaned against a sycamore tree outside the temple with a piece of grass root in his mouth and closed his eyes to meditate.
"Young Master Wu?"
Wu Mu raised his eyes to face Zhang Xiuyu's shy face and said calmly: "Why are you here?"
Zhang Xiuyu immediately began to wring the handkerchief nervously.
"I...I'm here to burn incense."
Wu Mu said "Oh" and continued to rest with his eyes closed.
Zhang Xiuyu stayed on the spot, feeling embarrassed and blushing for a moment.
Wu Yuelin asked her to come outside the temple this morning and arrange for her to meet Wu Mu.
She came here half an hour early and finally waited until Wu Mu showed up.
Seeing Wu Mu alone here with his eyes closed and meditating, a handsome young man holding grass with his eyes closed, handsome and wicked, she mustered up a lot of courage to come up and say hello to Wu Mu.
Seeing that Wu Mu didn't want to talk to her and just left herself here, her eye circles gradually turned red.
Wu Mu suddenly opened his eyes, and his dark eyes were frighteningly bright.
Zhang Xiuyu's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
Wu Mu frowned and asked, "Did you smell any special fragrance?"
