Wentao led Su Shiyu away, and Yan Wenxiu turned to Yan Yishuang, Yang Xiujun, and Li Zixin and asked with a smile, “Do you want to go down and stroll around?”

Yan Yishuang glanced at the people on the street, felt it was too crowded, and decisively shook her head, “Big brother, I won’t go down.”

Li Zixin also said, “I’m too lazy to walk, and I won’t go either. Moreover, the parade is about to start; we won’t have much time to stroll even if we go down.”

So, that left only Yang Xiujun.

Yang Xiujun looked at Dong Yuanxuan and the others; she really wanted to follow Yan Wentao and Su Shiyu, but she felt too bashful to go out alone with so many men and just forced a smile, “Big cousin, I won’t go either.”

Yan Wenxiu didn’t insist but still felt somewhat worried about leaving the three girls alone in the restaurant.

Yan Wentao saw this and said, “Big brother, go ahead and stroll. I don’t feel like moving much either.”

With Yan Wentao staying behind, Yan Wenxiu felt reassured, “Alright then, we will come back as soon as we find Daohua and the others. It won’t take long.”

Soon, Yan Wenxiu and the others had left.

Yan Wenkai and Su Shiyu leaving together worried Yang Xiujun. After hesitating for a moment, she walked over and sat beside Yan Wentao, “Cousin Wentao.”

Yan Wentao was somewhat surprised by Yang Xiujun’s approach, “Is there something you need, Cousin Xiujun?”

Trying to appear natural and merely curious, Yang Xiujun asked, “Cousin Wentao, it seems that Cousin Wenkai is quite familiar with the girl from the Su Family?”

Yan Wentao glanced at her and simply nodded, without saying much.

Seeing his reaction, Yang Xiujun said, “I know the Yan Family and the Su Family are close, but Cousin Wenkai taking Su Miss alone, isn’t that somewhat inappropriate?” She emphasized the word “alone” quite heavily.

Hearing this, Yan Wentao couldn’t help but frown.

Yan Yishuang, who had been paying attention to the conversation, sneered, “Sister Xiujun, aren’t you being a little too nosy? Both big brother and Brother Su are there, and they haven’t said anything. What gives you the right to chime in?”

Yang Xiujun quickly explained, “I’m not trying to meddle, I just think Cousin Wenkai’s behavior is somewhat improper. He took Su Miss away in front of so many people; it’s not good for her reputation either.”

Yan Wentao’s brows knitted together, “Cousin Xiujun is overstating things. Wenkai, Hongxin, and I grew up together and are very familiar with each other’s sisters.”

“Wenkai has good relations with Miss Su, Miss Dong, and Miss Zhou. They call each other brothers and sisters. When going out, it is only natural to take special care of them. Wenkai taking Miss Su to see the lanterns is nothing serious and certainly not a matter of reputation.”

Yang Xiujun internally disagreed—knowing each other well didn’t mean they should be careless about appearances. However, sensing that her restrained and solemn cousin was getting upset, she quickly apologized, “It was wrong of Xiujun to speak out of turn. I just thought…”

Yan Yishuang, watching from the side and feeling sick of it, cut her off, “Sister Xiujun, stop saying what you think. You do not understand the relationships between our family, the Su Family, or the Dong Family. You shouldn’t express opinions so casually.”

Hearing Yan Yishuang’s harsh words, Yang Xiujun’s face grew red.

Yan Wentao wanted to avoid any further awkwardness so he intervened, “Alright, Xiujun simply didn’t understand the situation. However, we must not carelessly repeat such words. If someone who doesn’t understand hears them, it really might harm Wenkai and Miss Su’s reputations.”

Yan Yishuang gave Yang Xiujun a glance, said nothing more, and turned her gaze to the street, occasionally chatting with Li Zixin if she saw something interesting.

Yang Xiujun and Yan Wentao weren’t close and had little to say to each other. After sitting together for a while, Yang Xiujun returned to sit with Yan Yishuang and Li Zixin.

Yan Yishuang noticed Yang Xiujun’s mind was elsewhere and could not hide a sneer.

Today she realized that Sister Xiujun had set her sights on the fourth brother!

She was bold to even think about it.

Without asking, she knew very well that her parents would never agree.

Although the Yang Family was a capital official family, they had only one fourth-rank official, which was the same rank as her father and offered no benefits to the Yan Family politically. Moreover, considering the Yang Family’s past actions, no one in the Yan Family had a good impression of them.

Nowadays, they only maintained a superficial relationship with the Yang Family for their aunt’s sake; why would they let the next generation intermarry with them?

That aside, what she found most disdainful was that Sister Xiujun insisted on inserting herself between the fourth brother and Sister Su. With the fourth brother’s feelings for Sister Su so obvious to anyone with eyes, knowing it and still insisting on getting involved was quite shameless.

Yan Yishuang’s stare drifted over the passersby on the street, her expression somewhat distant.

Watching Yang Xiujun, she couldn’t help but reflect on her past self.

Trying to take what wasn’t hers, not understanding her place, thinking she could hide her petty thoughts, unaware that her jumping and fussing made her no different from a clown in the eyes of others.

As Yan Yishuang was absorbed in these thoughts, Yan Wentao, who spotted someone selling pretty lanterns on the street, went down to buy several and brought them back.

“Third sister, here you go!”

Faced with the rabbit lantern before her, Yan Yishuang was a little stunned—it seemed she had never received a gift from her third brother before, and of course, she had never given him one either.

Seeing she wasn’t taking it, Yan Wentao asked in confusion, “You like rabbits, don’t you?”

Yan Yishuang snapped back to reality and accepted the rabbit lantern with a smile, “Yes, I like rabbits.”

Yan Wentao laughed, “That’s good, when I get a chance, I’ll get you a real pair of white rabbits.”

Yan Yishuang felt pleasantly surprised, “Thank you, third brother.”

Yan Wentao smiled as he handed over two ordinary lanterns to Li Zixin and Yang Xiujun, then he returned to his spot by the window.

Yan Yishuang carried the rabbit lantern, her lips curving into a smile involuntarily.

Third brother must have bought the lantern for her because she had just spoken up to defend fourth brother, right?

Even though it was prompted by the situation, the feeling of being cared for by her brother was really quite nice.

…

Elsewhere, the crowded street was gradually clearing out as Daohua, escorted by Xiao Yeyang, made her way to Dong Yuanyao.

Xiao Yeyang, seeing Sun Changze still pinned under a fallen lantern post, gestured to Defu, who helped lift it off him.

“Are you alright?”

Dong Yuanyao looked anxiously at Sun Changze.

Sun Changze, forehead beaded with sweat, forced a smile and shook his head, “I’m fine.”

Daohua said, “Still, we should have a physician take a look.”

Dong Yuanyao nodded repeatedly.

Just as Sun Changze was about to decline, Xiao Yeyang spoke up, “Alright, that’s settled.” He looked at Defu, “Is there a clinic nearby?”

Defu thought for a moment, “There’s one on the next street over.”

Xiao Yeyang replied, “Then good, we’ll go there.”

It wasn’t long before Daohua and the others arrived at the clinic.

Due to the pushing and shoving in the streets, many people were injured, and the clinic was bustling.

After waiting for a while, it was Sun Changze’s turn to be treated.

While Sun Changze was receiving treatment inside, Daohua, Dong Yuanyao, and Xiao Yeyang waited in the main hall.

In the meantime, a few sons of officials who had also been injured came to the clinic. While waiting, they started chatting in the hall.

“Have you heard? Prince Ping promoted his concubine to official status before the New Year.”

“How could I not have heard? As soon as my father went to court at the start of the year, he heard everyone talking about it.”

“You’re all behind the times; this news has already spread throughout Beijing.”

“Alas, the Little Prince is in for a tough time now. I heard the newly promoted concubine has a son who’s older than the Little Prince. With the eldest son by concubine becoming the legitimate eldest son, the title of the Prince Residence might not fall upon the Little Prince’s head in the future.”

“Not necessarily, the Little Prince is still the legitimate son of the primary wife.”

“Pssh, in ordinary families like ours, even the legitimate son of the primary wife might not inherit the family estate, let alone in the Imperial Family. Think about it, the Little Prince has been in Zhongzhou for several years, what does that tell you?”

“It tells you that he is not favored by Prince Ping. An unfavored legitimate son, who hasn’t grown up by his father’s side, will hardly be the Prince’s preference when considering an heir.”

“What’s more, the Little Prince has been in Zhongzhou all this time, he hasn’t had any Imperial education for years, how could he compare with the eldest son by concubine who stayed in the capital?”

“I think the Little Prince is quite formidable; just his presence is intimidating.”

“That’s because you’re easily impressed. The Little Prince might pass as outstanding here, but once he’s back in the capital, compared to those princes and grandsons who’ve had a proper Imperial education, he’s pretty lackluster.”

Hearing this talk, Daohua cast a worried glance at Xiao Yeyang.

Xiao Yeyang, aware of her concern, gave her a reassuring smile, but when he glanced at the speakers, his eyes were somewhat icy.

Just yesterday, during Dong Family’s banquet, he had noticed that the officials were no longer as reverent towards him as they had been.

Heh, he was starting to understand the saying ‘when the wall falls, everyone pushes.’

Only, his wall hadn’t fallen yet…
