e's no suitable small business, it's okay. We... we can prepare New Year's goods at home as well."Seeing her so sincere, Jia Yin couldn't help but smile.Looking at the others, they all had hopeful fac...She put down her cup and looked at the Third Princess, "I grew up with my brothers, so I treat all of their friends, or even close relatives' children, as my older brothers. There are no exceptions, including Lu Shizi and Jia Xu, Master Jia."

"Especially Lu Shizi, he is the same age as my older brother, more than ten years older than me. I never even thought about having any relationship with him beyond that of siblings.

" Let me know if you have anything else you'd like me to translate!

"Ever since I realized Prince Lu's affections, I haven't seen him again and made sure there was nothing that could be misinterpreted. "

"If you think back carefully, you must remember that whenever the Young Master Lu came to Zilan Palace, I would always find excuses to hide away. "

"This is exactly how things are today, there's no way to avoid it. I'm trying to figure out a way to get you to send someone to the Lu family to deliver a message."

"What am I trying to do It's always been about not having you misunderstand, not wanting our sisterhood ruined because of a man."

Jia Yin sighed, thinking about this period of time, she really racked her brains to seek a perfect outcome, but unfortunately, the result was still like this.

She also reddened her eyes, gritted her teeth, and continued.

"I really tried my best. I can't control what others think, but I would never covet my sisters' men. Even if there was only one man left in the world, I wouldn't!"

"After all this time together, you should know what I'm like! Knowing that you like Lu Shizi, how could I possibly get involved"

The third princess lowered her head, without a word, it was unknown whether she had heard anything.

Jiayin was a little discouraged. Living two lifetimes, this was the first time she had experienced such a frustrating thing.

To be blunt, no matter how you explain it now, it's like throwing mud into your crotch—it's either ** or it's going to stink like **!

She took a deep breath, suppressing the grievances in her heart. She reached out and picked up the phoenix hairpin, gently inserting it into the third princess's hair bun.

"I've said my piece. If you still think I'm wrong and can't understand, then we're done from here…"

Before she could finish speaking, the third princess suddenly jumped up and hugged her tightly, bursting into tears.

"No! No way! You can't say that we're breaking up, sniffle, sniffle. I only have you as my best friend! You can't abandon me!"

"Big Brother Lu doesn't like me, and if you leave again, I'll be all alone! You're all bad, you're all bullying me!"

The Third Princess cried tears and snot, wishing she could become a rope to tie Jia Yin up, afraid that she would run away.

Jia Yin was strangled, gasping for air, and couldn't react for a long time.

Didn't we say we were breaking up

What a plot twist!

Thankfully, the third princess cried for a while and didn't hear any noise. Finally, she managed to release Jia Yin, whose face was red from holding it in, from her "chest".

Whew!

Jia Yin gasped for breath, exclaiming, “I escaped death! You said you couldn’t bear to part with me, but you actually tried to kill me for revenge! Did you want to suffocate me!”

The third princess shrank her neck, and choked out a sob in a small voice, "I'm just afraid you'll leave, that you won't be sisters with me anymore."

Jia Yin smoothed down her messy hair and couldn't help but complain, "Yeah, it suffocated me! My family killed you, so let's be a pair of ghost sisters!"

"Poof!" The Third Princess couldn't help but giggle at the thought of the two female ghosts holding hands and floating about, here and there.

Jia Yin rolled her eyes and, from the bag slung across her waist, pulled out a comb. She gestured for the Third Princess to sit down and then helped her tidy her hair bun.

"Come on, let me fix your hair first, or people will think you're here to pick a fight and I'll end up hitting you!"

The Third Princess remembered her impulsiveness just now, feeling both guilty and wronged.

"I also suddenly discovered... I was so angry! I know you're not... but I just got angry! Angry at Lord Lu, no, Young Master Lu for not liking me. Clearly I'm so beautiful, and I'm still a princess!"

As she spoke, the third princess became even more upset.

"The most important thing is that he doesn't like me. He can say it! He clearly promised to give me his hand in marriage, and we were about to get married, but he secretly likes you instead!"

And besides, you're so smart, you must have known his mind long ago, but you didn't tell me!

I thought you liked Lu Shizi too, but because I was afraid to say anything. You two are in love with each other, and I've become the villain who steals someone else's romance!

Jia Yin used a wooden comb to tap her head and scolded, “Do you blame me for not telling you Would I dare to say it”

"The way you were acting just now, fortunately, it happened in my shop. If it had happened in the palace, I'm afraid everyone would have been up in arms, causing a stir with the Emperor and the Crown Prince. Perhaps even the whole new city would know!"

"Ouch, ouch! I told you I was too angry!" Princess Three clutched her head in supplication.

Jia Yin deftly combed her own hair into a neat bun, then handed the comb to the third princess. "Help me comb my hair too!"

The third princess took the comb and began clumsily trying to style her hair.

Jia Yin was being pulled on her hair from time to time, the pain making her gasp. But she didn't forget to continue speaking.

"Your Imperial Uncle loves you dearly and has betrothed you to Prince Lu because he wants you to have a good life after your passing. But there are also other considerations, after all, the Lu family guards the southwest."

Now that you know the mind of Prince Lu, you must think carefully about what to do next.

If you pretend today never happened and continue to be with him, what will you do when you marry him later Or will you ask your uncle to take back the marriage decree and choose a new husband for you.

"This matter is too big, don't rush it, think about it slowly, it doesn't matter a few days, be sure to be cautious. "

Of course, I will support you no matter what you decide.

The third princess nodded lightly, her eyes somewhat dazed. She twirled Jia Yin's hair in her hand and sighed softly, "I understand."

Finally, she asked, "What about you"

Jia Yin didn't know which aspect she was asking about, so she carefully replied, "I don't like intrigue and scheming. Large families aren't suitable for me. I want to find someone who has no parents and understands me well to marry. Of course, that's something for much later, there's no need to rush."

As for Master Lu, ...I definitely won't meet him again and there will be no further ties. Our family maintains a superficial harmony with him for now; we don't want to tear things apart just yet.

The Third Princess put down her comb, looking noticeably more relaxed.

"I understand. I'll think about this matter. I'll return to the palace first, and if there's anything, I'll have someone send you a message."

Jia Yin nodded, "Alright, it's still safer to take my carriage. I won't rest easy until I see you back safely."

Though the issue remained unresolved, the two felt much lighter after untangling their emotional knots.

Jiayin opened the door, and the third princess walked out.

Cai Yun and the others immediately stepped forward to attend to their master as he left.

Jia Yin stood at the door, silent for a long time.

Not until Shui Ling shuffled forward, asking in a low voice, “Princess, is the Third Princess no longer angry”

"I'm not angry anymore. She's straightforward, just talk it out if there's something wrong." Jia Yin shook her head, relaxed her shoulders and neck, and smiled, "When the carriage comes back, let's go home too."

"No...no, the county princess isn't ready yet!" Shui Ling's expression was very strange, as if she was struggling to contain something, her face unnaturally red.

Chia Yin looked at him with a puzzled expression and asked, "Is there anything else that needs to be taken care of"

Shui Ling pointed to her head silently and reminded her, "Princess, your hair..."ck on the head.Tao Hongying glared, "Speak properly! How can you speak about your own brother like that!"Jia An chuckled nervously and quickly corrected himself, "That... was a misstatement on my part...
