Seeing that Lu Jinnian didn't answer her and was about to pounce on her and fight with her, Yi Nuan quickly flew in front of Lu Jinnian to block her. She saw that Pei Yin was restrained when she was still two steps away from Lu Jinnian.

The person holding her back frowned, "Ying'er, stop. Look at you, do you still have the appearance of Aristocratic Lady's girl?!"

"Brother Pei Yu!" Pei Yin's eyes were bloodshot and her expression was ferocious. She struggled to get rid of Pei Yu, "You actually helped an outsider to not help me. I am your blood sister! "

"Impudent! This prince and Wan'er are in love with each other. What does that have to do with you?"

Fourth Prince and Xiao Jing followed closely behind Liu Tie and walked quickly to Lu Qingwan's side. They wrapped their arms around her and gently said, "Wan'er is fine, right?"

Lu Qingwan shook her head and silently sobbed.

Pei Qing also stuck her head out from behind Pei Yu. She lowered her head and said, "Brother, it's all Qing'er's fault. I was in a bad mood and wanted to take you out to relax and buy some new clothes to be happy. I didn't expect …"

Sure, now that the main characters and supporting roles were all here, she could step out of the middle and join the crowd.

Lu Jinnian and Yi Nuan looked at each other and retreated back to the edge of the encirclement. They watched with interest as Pei Yin exploded and nearly got into a fight with Lan Yan, Fourth Prince and Xiao Jing.

Dressed in a purple python robe, with her hair tied up in a green jade hairpin, she appeared to have an extraordinary bearing. Frowning, she said to Pei Yu, "Brother Yu, Wan'er was scared. I'll send her home first. We'll meet again another day."

Before Pei Yu could reply, Pei Yin rushed towards Xiao Jing and the others, "Brother Jing, I'm the younger sister that you and I grew up with. How can you just care about that bitch!"

"Pei Yin, for the sake of our past relationship, this prince will not care about today's matters. If I see you insult Wan Er next time …"

Pei Yu hurriedly covered Pei Yin's mouth, "Brother Jing, Ying'er suffered from a cold recently and has yet to recover from her illness. If you have offended her, then I will take my leave first."

With that, she pulled the reluctant Pei Yin and left. Pei Qing raised her eyes, gave Lu Qingwan and Lu Qingyao a look, and also chased after them.

Everyone, "..." The wind chill was so scary, could it hurt one's brain? Young Master Pei Yu, don't lie to us while we're studying!

Half of the people who were quarreling ran away, and the crowd was too embarrassed to watch Fourth Prince and the ladies of the Wu Steel Manor, so they all dispersed.

Lu Jinnian also prepared to leave. No matter what the cause of today's events was, it was a fact that Pei Yin had insulted her mother.

"Sister, sister is going home, aren't you coming with me?"

Lu Jinnian turned around and glanced at Lu Qingyao, her smile unchanging. "I know my place. Since Prince Fourth Prince and Qingwan are on such good terms, I won't disturb their world, right, Sister Qingyao?"

Lu Qingyao's expression froze. She turned around and saw that Xiao Jing had already called the carriage to help Lu Qingwan into it.

Lu Jinnian waved at her before turning around in a relaxed manner. For a moment, Lu Qingyao didn't know whether to look for Lu Qingwan or chase after Lu Jinnian. While she was thinking, the carriage carrying Lu Qingwan had already driven away …

She couldn't find Lu Jinnian, so she could only walk home by herself.

"Not good."

Yi Nuan didn't understand why her young mistress sighed, "Miss is referring to the relationship between Lu Second Miss and Fourth Prince?"

Lu Jinnian smirked. "How is that possible?"

She didn't care who her sister was with, and she would even be happy. They were finally going to get married, so there was no need to bother her anymore.

She was currently thinking of herself. The rumors about her choosing a husband had originally thought that she was so ugly that she had to back down from the marriage proposal.

Now that she knew her true face, perhaps real warriors would come knocking soon. Lu Jinnian said this was the most troublesome thing to do, so she might as well discredit herself before the matter of her appearance was spread far.

After making up her mind, Lu Jinnian waved her hand to make Yi Nuan stare at Lu Qingyao.

She wasn't worried about Lu Qingyao's safety, but was instead curious. In the end, Pei Qing and Lu Qingyao's eyes met, and the content within was clearly different from when they met eyes with each other.

Lu Jinnian was a little interested in the small group of three girls that needed to be divided into gangs.

After saying goodbye to Yi Nuan, Lu Jinnian looked at the sun and walked towards the busiest time of the day, Lingyue Tavern.

The reason why Lingyue Tavern could attract so many rich and powerful young masters was not only because of the decorative style and the high quality, but also because it was very suitable for them to display their identity.

It was also said that which clan in Liangjing would host a banquet, and even specially invite a chef from Lingyue Tavern to cook there.

Lu Jinnian's previous life's military career had brought about an effect that was rather simple in terms of food and clothing. She wasn't picky about anything, so when she saw how even the great hall was filled with Lingyue Tavern, she was really shocked.

But it didn't matter, the more people there were the better. It was convenient for her to find fault and be seen by others.

His dark, deep eyes lit up as he scanned the hall, as if he was picking a suitable prey. For a moment, the sounds of drinking and punching suddenly died down, and for some reason, the customers felt uncomfortable.

The waiter with well-trained Lingyue Tavern saw Lu Jinnian, who was looking around, and immediately went up to welcome her with a smile. "Young lady, are you looking for someone to eat or to look for?"

Lu Jinnian shook her head. Her gaze was locked onto a corner of the hall. The corner of her mouth had a dazzling smile. She took out a silver ingot from her pocket and handed it over to the waiter.

"Second Brother, this is for the shopkeeper. This is considered as an advance payment for the loss of spiritual energy. You don't have to worry about what I do next."

With that, he walked in that direction, leaving the waiter with a blank expression. Was this girl trying to cause trouble? I should hurry and find the shopkeeper first …

At a table in the corner of the hall, a few well-dressed popinjays were toasting a man who had curled up on the table.

The person being urged on was obviously not in a good condition. His face was pale and his lips were purple. Even so, he continued to drink the wine despite the popinjay's hospitality.

Lu Jinnian walked up to them with a friendly smile. After a foppish young lad filled his cup once again, she snatched his wine bottle and gulped it down.

Then he put down the wine cup, looked at the dumbstruck people on the table, and took a sip, "It's actually the Ice and Snow Wine from Sien Realm and Snow Mountain, it really is good wine."

A popinjay came back to his senses, pointed at Lu Jinnian's nose and shouted, "Where did this crazy woman come from? How dare you drink my wine!"

Lu Jinnian looked at him with disdain, lifted her leg and stomped on the table with a 'bang'. She glanced at the five jars of Ice and Snow Wine beside the popinjay's side and said loudly:

"I am Great General's direct daughter, Lu Jinnian, not some crazy woman. Let me tell you, not only do I dare to drink your wine, I even dare to compete with you. I'm just afraid that you won't accept the challenge!"
