k a slight step back, but her large, watery eyes remained fixed on the man opposite her, filled with shyness and hesitation.The smile on Lu Ze's lips faded slightly.But Lin Yan didn't notice this chan...Back to the Ning's home.

Ning Shu heard a few concubines seemed to be arguing. Seeing him return, the eldest concubine regained her composure: "You're back"

He nodded and asked, "Auntie, what's wrong"

The third Mrs. immediately seemed to have found her backbone and walked over, weeping: "Xiaoshū, is it right for your elder mistress to ask me to bring out my dowry " She dabbed at her tears and said, "That was my mother's dowry to me, the only thing she left me!"

I couldn't help but speak up: "Since it's the third aunt's dowry, let's just forget about it. I have many valuable things in my room. Third Aunt, come to my room and take those things. Maybe they'll be enough"r.Ning Shu originally thought that Wen Yan would be back today.Ning Shu felt that it wasn't her illusion, Wen Yan had been talking to her lately, always interrupting her. His tone was a bit colder tha...
