"Jiu Jiu is a good girl. You two grew up together since childhood and have a deep bond. In the future, you should support each other."

Fu Jiujiu blushed and nodded, how did she feel like she was about to get married?

No, it's too early.

"Aunt!"

After being reminded by Tang Xian, Lu Fu saw that Fu Jiujiu's face was flushed. "Alright, I won't say anymore," she said.

Fu Jiujiu cleared her throat, "Madam Lu, my parents also said they would like to come and pay their respects. Would you have some time these days?"

Madam Lu glanced at her daughter and said, "Yes, that's not how it should be phrased. We should be the ones going to visit them. Your parents are older, so we should go see your uncle and aunt."

Fu JiuJiu was originally worried that the Lu family would treat her brother like the Xie family did, looking down on him. Now, seeing Mrs. Lu's attitude, she should have figured it out.

This way, she felt reassured.

It's just Big Brother's awkward personality, otherwise all these babies would be held by now.

Lu Ding cleared his throat. "We should let them come."

Lu's wife couldn't help but laugh and cry, "Father, they're all the same."

That's different, my granddaughter is so good, there are many who want to marry her. She won't be left unmarried, they have to come to our house.

"Grandpa!" Lu Yinxue stamped her foot.

"Even if you call him 'King Daddy,' it won't help. If Fu Liujin wants to marry you, he has to be on the list of eligible bachelors. Otherwise, he's incompetent, and I wouldn't give you away."

Lu Yin Xue blushed with a mixture of shame and anger, but said firmly: "Six Gold will definitely work, hmph! You just wait and see."

Mrs. Lu smiled and sighed, "This daughter of mine... who could possibly marry her now?"

The two people sat with Lu Jia for a while, waiting until Lu Yu, who had gone out, came back. Seeing the noodles, they returned.

Tang Xian knew that Fu Jiujiao wasn't someone who liked to get angry, but still felt it was necessary to explain her grandfather's attitude to her.

“My biological mother passed away early, and my maternal grandfather has always been worried that I wouldn't have anyone to take care of me. My aunt treats me like her own daughter. He thinks that if I could marry Yinxue, my uncle would treat me even better.”

"That's a good idea," Fu Jiujiao said.

Tang Xian glared at her, "It's not bad, but who can control feelings? Now don't even say I disagree, even Yin Xue wouldn't agree."

"Besides!" Tang Xian took Fu Jiujiu's hand, "I don't want to be like my father either."

How is Emperor Chengde?

Fu Jiujiu wasn't too sure, but she thought about how he deeply loved Tang Xian's mother, yet had to marry so many women, ultimately causing Tang Xian's mother to die tragically. This was probably Tang Xian's knot in his heart.

"I marry you, this life will only have you." M..

Tang Xian's sudden confession left Fu Jiujiu a little flustered, "This... wasn't this already agreed upon earlier?"

"Yes, but I just want to tell you that no matter what happens in the future, this sentence will never change."

Fu JiuJiu nodded, her little face flushed. "In our place, one husband and one wife is very normal."

"Is that so? But Ge Tianlin isn't from the same place as you, is he? How come he has so many women hidden at home?"

Fujuju awkwardly stuttered, "This... this is just adapting to local customs, in short, you can't."

"I... can't?" Tang Xian smiled bitterly. "Do you know what you're saying?"

"I..." Fu Jiujiao's face flushed even redder.

I am no longer burdened by the small body of a four-year-old, and I no longer feel awkward speaking.

Tang Xian saw her blushing, "Alright, alright, stop teasing you. I want to take this opportunity, since we're getting engaged, to call back our elder sister. We can also settle things between Mingyue and your seventh brother."

"This...works?"

“Of course,” Tang Xian also had his concerns, “My grandmother is getting older. Although she doesn’t say it, I know she misses her elder sister dearly. It has been over ten years since my elder sister got married and hasn’t come back. I want to take this opportunity to let them meet again. Maybe...this could be the last time they see each other.”

Birth, aging, sickness, and death are not things that can be avoided simply by not talking about them.

No one can stop aging, just like these days, Fu Chiu-Chiu knows that Jii-Jii and Chaa-Chaa are also coming to an end. As sparrows, they have lived for a long time.

"Good." Fu Jiujiu's throat was sore.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Tang Xiu posted a notice inviting several brothers to his house for a gathering. Fu Jiujiu was naturally on the list of invitations.

Fujujijiu naturally doesn't want to go.

Ke Tangxiu is a cunning and calculating person. He deliberately spread the word that Ge Siyan would also be attending, hoping to cause trouble.

Everyone knows Ge Siyan's reputation now. Tang Xiu inviting her at this time not only wouldn't make him seem bad, but would make people think he was nostalgic.

Thus, the reputation of benevolence and righteousness was achieved.

If Ge Sisi went, but Fu Jiujiao didn't, then people would think that Fu Jiujiao wasn't broad-minded and didn't know how to behave.

Fujujiao held the post, looking at Yanyu who had just come in. "So, I can't not go?"

Smoke and Rain also frowned, "What does this mean, Your Highness? You just dealt with Ge Siyan, and now you're putting them together again. Isn't this intentional?"

Nianxia also indignantly muttered, "Who else could it be? I think they're up to no good. The Ge family doesn't know what tricks they've used to get the Crown Prince to support them. Anyway, my lady, if you go, be careful."

Fu Jiujiu took a deep breath, "What kind of medicine is Tang Xiu selling in this gourd? If I don't go, I'm afraid I won't be able to see it."

Ge Jia and Tang Xiu's matter, Tang Xian had mentioned it to Fu Jiu Jiu.

But how could Tang Xiuzhen, a man so devoted and loyal, personally kill his own child?

Every time I think about it, Fu Jiu Jiu thinks it's scary.

That's his flesh and blood, a living child.

Even in her dreams at midnight, she would think of that child.

Where is Tang?

Wouldn't you dream of that child?

"It's best not to go, Your Highness," Yan Yu said. "Just find an excuse not to go, and he can't do anything about it."

"Isn't this a good show to watch?" Fu Jiu chuckled, "Tang Xiu went to so much trouble to invite me, there must be something waiting for me."

Then where are you going?

Fu Jiu Jiu hooked her lips, "Sometimes danger is a double-edged sword, it can hurt me, but it can also hurt him."

"But..." Nianxia was still a little uneasy.

"Don't worry, Tang Qichen will also be going. Tang Xiu is too shrewd, he won't go into a tiger's den to get cubs. Only by getting close to him can we find his slightest flaw."

"So many things have happened, and he hasn't been implicated in any of them. That alone is enough to show how terrifying this person truly is," Fu JiuJiu said.

But...

Fu Jiujiu looked at Yan Yu, who had a worried face, and said, "Alright, alright, my bride-to-be, don't worry about me. Go busy with your dowry."

That's right, Yanyu is getting married.

Fu Jiujiu is old enough to know what she wants. If she likes someone sincerely, there's no reason for her to hold back.

"Here, take this!" Fu Jiujiu pulled out a stack of silver notes. "My Yanyu, she must marry with pomp and circumstance."
