Thinking of such a scene, Zhi’er found it somewhat amusing.

"Sorry, Brother, we had something to do that day, and I just forgot..."

"But did you and Sister Youzhen have fun?" Zhi’er blinked her long lashes.

Though Third Young Master’s face showed some embarrassment, talking about this matter brought a subtle change in his eyes.

"It was alright..." He coughed lightly.

"After entering the villa, the jade there was indeed nice, but Youzhen didn’t like it."

"I saw a small white jade rabbit sculpture that reminded me of my sister, so I took a few extra glances."

"Youzhen probably thought I liked it, so she bought it and gave it to me."

Unable to hold it in, Zhi’er burst out laughing.

"Brother! That’s something you should do, how could you let Sister Youzhen, a lady, give you things!"

Third Young Master helplessly said, "She acted too fast, I didn’t know she had bought it, and only when we returned from the villa did she give it to me."

"Sister, you must help me think of what gift might be appropriate to return."

Feng Fuce, listening from the side, calmly said, "Give swords and knives; there are plenty in the Xiuluo Guard, you can pick one."

Third Young Master was taken aback, "Is that suitable for a lady?"

Feng Fuce raised his head, motioning him to look ahead.

Youzhen’s martial arts were taught personally by General Fang.

Now, feeling inspired, she was dancing with the red tassel spear among the young ladies.

Winning rounds of applause from the girls.

Zhi’er’s eyes shone brightly, unable to hold back: "Sister Youzhen is truly amazing!"

She also wanted to join and cheer!

Zhi’er lifted her skirt and ran into the group of young ladies, cheering together for Fang Youzhen.

Third Young Master watched, stunned. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Feng Fuce calmly said, "Giving something should cater to the other’s preferences, otherwise it’s not a gift."

Third Young Master snapped out of it, looking at Feng Fuce.

"So, Marquis, you became friends with my sister by observing what she likes step by step?"

Feng Fuce’s cool eyebrows raised slightly, his jade-white handsome face revealing a touch of arrogance.

He chuckled, didn’t answer, and walked toward Zhi’er.

Third Young Master chased after him, "What does that laugh mean, did I hit the nail on the head!"

Fang Youzhen’s birthday celebration was lively, and almost all the friends invited were Zhi’er’s classmates.

A group of youthful ladies together, playing in high spirits.

Everyone expressed themselves with poetry, performed talents over drinks, and passionately talked of fortunes.

But dared not say too much, since Zhi’er and Feng Fuce were present.

Zhi’er sat with Fang Youzhen at a table.

When Fang Youzhen finished greeting other guests and returned to the pavilion, Zhi’er took the opportunity to sneak a drink while Feng Fuce wasn’t looking.

Now, her cheeks were rosy and pink, her eyes glistening.

Fang Youzhen saw her empty cup and immediately wanted to pour her more wine.

Feng Fuce turned his head, looking at Zhi’er from the nearby male guest seats.

Zhi’er quickly held Fang Youzhen’s hand.

"No, no, I can’t drink alcohol."

Fang Youzhen laughed heartily, "Didn’t you just have several drinks? Don’t worry, this is homemade, not intoxicating, and very sweet."

"I know you like it, let me pour you another cup."

Feng Fuce squinted his eyes, and Zhi’er immediately said, "I didn’t drink! Just had a little taste."

She clutched her cup, giving Fang Youzhen a look.

At least wait until Brother Ce isn’t watching to pour, wah!

Now that she’s been caught, she’s sure to be "educated" by him later.
