"Sister-in-law!"

"Sister-in-law, are you there?"

Qiann Yan was awakened by a clear voice calling her. She opened her eyes and found the person outside the house: "Who is it?"

"Sister-in-law, have you forgotten my voice?"

Qiann Yan searched her memory carefully and finally found the information about the visitor.

The current emperor’s seventh son, Jing Xiyu, seventeen years old, inherited the Royal Family’s excellent looks, with an open and lively personality, and a warm smile like sunshine. He was well-loved everywhere he went, and no one disliked his simple smile.

Qiann Yan opened the door, and indeed saw the boy’s clean smile, holding a food box in his hand.

"Sister-in-law, don’t you recognize me? Hurry and let me in, I specially came to bring you food."

Qiann Yan stepped aside to let Jing Xiyu in.

Jing Xiyu walked in confidently with the food box, went to the table, and began to lay out the food from the box: "Third brother is not considerate, no matter what, he shouldn’t skimp on sister-in-law’s meals; it’s quite laughable, isn’t it? Since he married sister-in-law, he should take responsibility."

"He was the one who eagerly married sister-in-law, and now he wants to back out? Truly infuriating."

Qiann Yan walked over to the table, sat on a stool, and watched the boy place the food without any concern.

The colors, aroma, and taste were better than what she had eaten before.

"Sister-in-law, hurry and eat, don’t be polite, just consider it as an apology on behalf of third brother."

Qiann Yan picked up a piece of cake, sniffed it, confirmed nothing extra was added, and put it in her mouth. After eating, she said: "How do you know about things here?"

Jing Xiyu paused, his smiling eyes clean and clear, leaned closer to Qiann Yan and whispered: "I have people planted inside third brother’s residence, just for you to know, don’t tell anyone else."

Qiann Yan lowered her gaze: "I am his Princess Consort, aren’t you afraid I’ll tell him after sharing such a big secret with me?"

"Sister-in-law wouldn’t do that, I trust you."

Qiann Yan met the boy’s dark eyes, showing no signs of evasion, staring at her tenaciously, neither backing down.

"Sister-in-law, why are you staring at me?" Ultimately, Jing Xiyu gave in, couldn’t resist rubbing his eyes, "Do you suddenly feel marrying third brother was not worth it, better off marrying me. Actually, I’m a year older than you, had I known, I would have asked to marry you first. You’re so nice, only third brother doesn’t cherish you."

Qiann Yan held the chopsticks, eating the food, replied to the boy’s confusion: "It doesn’t work to regret after the fact." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"You should have done it sooner, nothing to do with your third brother now, regretting is useless."

Jing Xiyu hesitated: "Sister-in-law, do you truly think this way? Believing I’m better than third brother?"

"When did I say that?" Qiann Yan paused with each bite, Jing Xiyu didn’t mind this action, "I meant your regret comes too late, if you had intentions earlier, today wouldn’t exist. This way, you’re just saying things to comfort me."

Jing Xiyu immediately grinned: "I was young then, didn’t understand much, now seeing sister-in-law not being appreciated, suddenly think this way."

"Not so young, older than me by a year."

Jing Xiyu changed the topic: "Sister-in-law, do you find the dishes to your taste?"

"Hmm, much better than your second brother who only talks." Qiann Yan commented, "He came, said a lot to console my suffering, yet left empty-handed, not leaving a penny."

Jing Xiyu laughed directly: "Sister-in-law used to favor second brother the most."

"People change."

Jing Xiyu pursued: "Sister-in-law, don’t like second brother anymore?"

"Don’t like."

"Then who does sister-in-law like?"

"No one."

Jing Xiyu’s gaze intense: "Sister-in-law, why not like me? I’ll bring you delicious food every day."

Qiann Yan: "Daydreaming in broad daylight?"

"Hahaha, I was just joking, even if sister-in-law doesn’t like me, a single word from you, I’ll bring you delicious food."
