"Go home to live? Why?" Shangguan Wanning was a little curious, "You are pregnant now, so let's get up and talk about it. If you hurt the child in your belly, I can't afford this responsibility."

"If my sister doesn't agree, I won't get up. Anyway... I can't give birth to a child anyway." Shangguan Xiaoxiao said crying.

Shangguan Wanning was stunned. "What do you mean?"

"Can't my sister still see it? Some people don't want me to give birth to a baby."

Shangguan Wanning immediately understood.

She remembered that when the Empress Dowager's room just now, when the Empress Dowager announced in public that Shangguan Xiaoxiao was pregnant, Ling Zhiru was like a transparent person and said nothing.

Logically speaking, as the Princess of Qin, Ling Zhiru at least had some expressions to Shangguan Xiaoxiao on the surface.

However, she said nothing and wrote her disdain and dissatisfaction on her face.

If Shangguan Xiaoxiao left a boy before Ling Zhiru, then if Ling Zhiru had no male child in the future, his eldest son would be able to inherit the title of King Qin.

"Sister, since I was diagnosed with pregnancy by the imperial physician, I have had two accidents in the Qin Palace. Although they were both safe, how could I know if I would have such luck in the future?"

Two accidents?

Shangguan Wanning was a little scared. If it were her, she would have been more attentive.

"Sister, I know it was wrong for me before. I shouldn't be enemies with you everywhere, but I... I am jealous of you. No matter what, the child is innocent, please save us."

"You get up first."

Shangguan Wanning still doesn’t like Shangguan Xiaoxiao until now, but the Prime Minister’s Mansion is also her home.

"I can't make the decision on this matter. After I go back and report to my parents, let my father decide."

"Sister..." Shangguan Xiaoxiao shook Shangguan Wanning's arm, "Dad's stubborn thoughts may not agree. But I know that he listens to the aunt the most. Please beg for me in front of the aunt."

Shangguan Wanning is both angry and funny.

It seems that over the years, Aunt Zhao and Shangguan Xiaoxiao have studied them a lot.

"I see."

After Shangguan Wanning finished speaking, she turned around and left.

She was thinking about this all the way. She knew her mother very well. If she mentioned this, her mother would definitely bring Shangguan Xiaoxiao back.

But……

Shangguan Wanning was always wary of Shangguan Xiaoxiao, just afraid that she would do something behind her back.

Sure enough, after being Shangguan Wanning told her parents about the matter, her mother immediately arranged to pick up Shangguan Xiaoxiao back.

Shangguan Yue felt that he owed his younger daughter a little, so he agreed.

On New Year's Eve, the streets of the capital are filled with joy. Lanterns are hung high at the door of each shop. Children are setting off fireworks, and laughter and clamor are resounding throughout the alley.

Mu Jingrui sat at the table, looking at the New Year's Eve dinner all over the table and a lonely pair of bowls and chopsticks.

He was stunned, and a sense of sadness and loneliness surged into his heart.

He poured himself a glass of wine, but did not pick it up and drink it, and Shangguan Wanning's appearance appeared in his mind.

If so many things hadn't happened, he and her would have married. But now...

Mu Jingrui still cannot accept Shangguan Wanning's love for Sun Jinyao.

"If you have something to do, come in and talk about it."

Mu Jingrui noticed someone outside the door and came to his senses and drank the wine in the cup.

After a long time, Chu Xiaolian pushed the door open and entered.

"What's the matter for me?"

Mu Jingrui put his hands on the table, and his dark eyes stared at Chu Xiaolian.

In his understanding, he and Chu Xiaolian cooperated with interests.

He paid for money and she did things.

That's all.

"I..." Chu Xiaolian didn't know what to say, and asked, "I just wanted to ask you if there are any tasks to hand over to me."

Mu Jingrui understood.

Both of them were alone and poor people during the days when thousands of families were reunited.

“Can you drink alcohol?”

Chu Xiaolian was stunned and nodded.

"Sit." Mu Jingrui placed a whole pot of wine in front of Chu Xiaolian and picked up another pot himself.

He poured himself into drinking, but Chu Xiaolian didn't say anything, just drank silently.

Until he finished drinking a pot of wine, Chu Xiaolian's face turned red.

She looked at Mu Jingrui, with a little more gentleness in her eyes, and said with courage: "Do you know? Tonight... I have been sensible, and I have lived... New Year's Eve with someone to accompany me."

Mu Jingrui didn't say anything, poured himself another cup and drank it all in one go.

Chu Xiaolian used the alcohol to approach Mu Jingrui, lay on the table and looked up at him.

"In the future... can you live with me too? I can disband the Soul-Surveying Hall and follow you..."

Chu Xiaolian's voice became lighter and lighter because she could not see any response from Mu Jingrui.

She was a little disappointed, and the alcohol spread in her body, her eyelids became heavier and she slowly fell asleep.

Mu Jingrui looked at Chu Xiaolian, hesitated a little, picked her up and settled her in the guest room.

He missed Shangguan Wanning crazy. He must see her.

Mu Jingrui changed into a night-riding suit and sneaked into the prime minister's mansion. The mansion was deserted than he thought, but there were high-hanging lanterns everywhere, making every place full of light.

"Is this monster the answer?"

"How could there be such a riddle? It must be no, guess again."

"I can't guess, the answer is what the store said, and it's not the question I asked."

Sun Jinyao and Shangguan Wan sat around the stone table, arguing about the answer to the riddle just now.

"A riddle, why are you so serious?" Lu Xiangzi slapped Sun Jinyao's head, "What can you do if you ask Ning'er?"

"I..." Sun Jinyao was beaten a little, but he was not angry, especially when he saw Shangguan Wanning's smile. "Okay, okay, it's my fault, I'm wrong, it's okay."

"You guys play slowly, I'm sleepy and go to bed."

After Lu Xiangzi left, only Sun Jinyao and Shangguan Wanning were left in the yard. The two looked at each other.

Shangguan Wanning felt a little sad when she saw the doting in Sun Jinyao's eyes.

"Brother Yao, I'm going back to sleep, too."

"Ning'er," Sun Jinyao called Shangguan Wanning, who had stood up, "I... bought some fireworks, why don't you go back to the room after setting off the fireworks. Anyway, it's almost time."

"OK."

"Wait for me."

Sun Jinyao took out a lot of fireworks from his room and placed them around the yard.

"Cover your ears."

As soon as Sun Jinyao finished speaking, his fingers lit the fireworks.

The gorgeous flames quickly rushed into the sky and burst into bright light.

Shangguan Wanning looked up at the night sky illuminated by fireworks, and inexplicably felt sad.
