Chapter 22

:
  The heavy snow in the Imperial City has been falling for nearly ten days, but the sun still has not come out.

  This evening, the sky was as gray as ever, just like the dark clouds that had shrouded the Bonin Marquis Mansion since last year, dark and dull.

  Mrs. Hou walked in a hurry, walking in the corridor with swaying lights in the dusk, towards Shou'an Hall. The slightly melted snow fell along the eaves of the corridor, making a slight ticking sound, but no one had time to pay attention.

  "Mother!"

  A coquettish female voice came from behind. Madam Hou paused and turned around to look. Sure enough, the person who came was her daughter, Lin Ying, the third daughter of the family.

  The female envoy following Mrs. Hou saw Lin Ying and hurriedly saluted her.

  Although she didn't know what Lin Ying's intention was when she suddenly stopped her, Mrs. Hou still nodded with a smile and responded softly: "Ah Ying." Lin Ying

  walked to Mrs. Hou's side and held her arm in a very intimate and natural way. One of her mother's arms raised her lips and asked with a smile: "Mom, what are you going to do?"

  After a few more steps, she arrived in front of the door of Shou'an Hall. Lin Ying asked this, obviously knowingly. But Mrs. Hou listened and didn't expose her.

  After smiling softly, Mrs. Hou explained to Lin Ying: "Mother is going to Shou'an Hall to attend to your grandmother's illness."

  After hearing this, Mrs. Hou was about to turn around and leave, but couldn't help but pause for a moment. She looked in front of her. Lin Ying asked in confusion: "What's the matter?"

  She smiled, shook Madam Hou's arm coquettishly, and said in a coquettish tone: "Well, isn't the Lantern Festival coming tomorrow? My daughter? I was thinking of going to the lantern festival to relax."

  After a pause, Mrs. Hou looked at Lin Ying in front of her and asked with a little wonder: "A Ying, why are you here? Are you going to Shou'an Hall too? ?"

  However, despite hearing Lin Ying's assurance, Mrs. Hou's frowned eyebrows still did not relax.

  Lin Ying came back to her senses. When she heard Mrs. Hou's question, she nodded hurriedly and replied: "Of course."

  Lin Ying heard this, shook her head and denied, "I don't go to Shou'antang, I just passed by here. I didn't What a coincidence that I met my mother when I didn't expect it."

  Although Mrs. Hou was still a little confused after hearing Lin Ying's words, she just smiled, nodded, and said casually: "Yeah.

  " , Lin Ying couldn't help but think of the Lantern Festival in previous years. His Royal Highness Prince Anping would often ride horses through the 24th Bridge with Mr. Pei Qi, with his unique, romantic and unrestrained appearance, as well as the boudoir girls who went out to enjoy the lanterns, regardless of Reserved, lavishly throwing bouquets, sachets, and even love poems at His Royal Highness Prince Anping and Young Master Pei Qi as if they were free... Thinking of this, Lin Ying couldn't help but laugh a little, the corners of her lips rose deeper, and her beautiful face was lightly painted with pink and white. There was also a hint of crimson.

  Lin Ying's fingers hidden in her sleeves clenched gently. The look on her face seemed a little nervous, but she pretended to be nonchalant.

  It was Mrs. Hou's voice that interrupted Lin Ying's lost thoughts. She looked at Lin Ying in front of her and asked with a slightly serious frown, "Are you really just going to the lantern festival?"
