I insist

Chapter 328: Lanterns

Song Miqiu was secretly delighted, realizing that she held such a significant place in Yu Huailin's heart.

If you really can't persuade him, just give up and ignore it. There will definitely be other ways later. Why force it now and make things so unpleasant for the two of you?

"Alright then, but if something similar happens again next time, I'll really get angry if you don't tell me."

Seeing that Song Miqiu was no longer angry and had promised not to get involved in the matter, Yu Huailin was finally relieved.

"There won't be a next time. I just hope you can be safe and happy."

Such cheesy words gave Song Miqiu goosebumps. When did Yu Huailin become this kind of person? She couldn't help but feel a little disgusted.

"alright."

Only then did Song Miqiu notice that Yu Huailin wasn't dressed properly. She scratched her cheek, feeling rather embarrassed.

"Well, if there's nothing else, you can get dressed and go to sleep."

Yu Huailin was also flustered and quickly pulled up the clothes on his shoulders.

"Cough cough cough, okay."

Yu Huailin had almost forgotten, then suddenly remembered, "How did you know?"

Song Miqiu blinked, still unaware that something was amiss. "The maid told me."

"How did she know?"

Yeah, I was so angry that I forgot about the important thing.

"Call her over here, I want to have a good talk with her."

This startled the young maid who was eavesdropping at the door. Forgetting all about respecting the elderly and caring for the young, she slapped the old eunuch on the back.

I wanted to speak loudly, but I controlled myself.

"It's all your doing. If I'm found out, you won't be able to escape either."

He even took all the silver that the old eunuch had given him from his sleeve and returned it to him.

"The worthless money I gave you has nothing to do with me."

To everyone's surprise, Song Miqiu didn't take it seriously this time. She waved her hand dismissively and said, "Forget it. It's not a big deal. It's better to clear up the misunderstanding so I won't be kept in the dark."

After eating sunflower seeds all day, I felt a little tired and stretched and yawned.

"You should go to sleep now, I'm going back to sleep too."

When she said she was going to sleep, it didn't matter; the people eavesdropping outside the door panicked.

Everyone was thinking of getting out of there as soon as possible, and before they could even stand properly, the whole group collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Song Miqiu and Yu Huailin thought it was just the two of them late at night when a loud bang at the door caused everyone to rush in.

The two were so shocked that they didn't react for several seconds.

Everyone then got up from the ground and straightened their clothes.

"Such an awkward situation, one of you should step forward and explain."

Song Miqiu stood with her hands on her hips, looking down at them.

Who dared to speak first? Everyone backed down because they knew the nail that sticks out gets hammered down. The family members banded together and pushed the old eunuch out.

The old eunuch had no choice but to stand in front; at his advanced age, he became somewhat reserved.

Yu Huailin also realized that the old eunuch must have deliberately told the message to the maid, who then passed it on to Song Miqiu.

I stood with Song Miqiu and watched to see how he would explain himself.

The old eunuch stammered for a long time, unsure of where to begin, "We only came because we heard you arguing and were concerned about your relationship. We didn't come to eavesdrop on your behalf."

Upon hearing this, the two couldn't help but laugh; they really felt sorry for him.

"Let's all disperse, let's all disperse."

The night passed amidst laughter and chatter.

The next morning, Song Miqiu and he got up early and exercised in the yard.

She longs to live a long, healthy life, until she's surrounded by children and grandchildren—that would be the epitome of wealth and happiness.

The maidservant could hardly believe her eyes when she saw her master get up at this hour.

"Why are you up so early today, Master? I'll go prepare breakfast for you right away."

After hurriedly finishing his sentence, he rushed into the kitchen.

After doing a few simple stretching exercises, Song Miqiu slumped listlessly on the stool.

"Life is so boring, there's no fun at all."

The only old eunuch in the household who bickered with Song Miqiu also hurriedly left home early in the morning to return to the palace to keep busy.

With such a precious time wasted, Song Miqiu sighed deeply. He couldn't very well go back to bed and sleep.

At this moment, Xiaobai was overjoyed and skipped over to Song Miqiu's side.

"Grandma, Grandma."

Song Miqiu affectionately hugged Xiaobai in her arms, stroked its soft face, and gave it a big kiss.

"My dear grandson, don't you love your grandma the most? Aren't you closest to your grandma?"

Xiao Bai took a bite of the candied hawthorn before nodding.

Then he kept stuffing candied hawthorns into Song Miqiu's mouth.

"My dear grandson, you eat it. Grandma doesn't want to eat it. Grandma's teeth aren't good for eating such sweet things."

As they were talking, Tian Yumei led Xiao Shuang over.

"Mom, Xiaobai has been naughty with you again."

As she spoke, she knelt down to straighten the clothes of the two children.

"No grandma loves her two children the most; she's overjoyed."

The happy time was fleeting, and Tian Yumei then said, "Mother, I'm taking these two children to school. They're old enough to learn something."

Upon hearing about studying, Song Miqiu knew she couldn't let it interfere with her studies. "Yes, yes, going to school is a good thing. Grandma supports it."

As he spoke, he took out some silver from his sleeve and stuffed it into Tian Yumei's hand.

Tian Yumei was still not quite accepting of how much her mother-in-law had changed, so she dared not accept the money.

The two pushed and shoved each other, and finally Song Miqiu put her into Tian Yumei's arms.

"Take it if you want; it's what I should give you."

Tian Yumei was deeply moved, and tears welled up in her eyes. She wiped them away before standing up.

After seeing her daughter-in-law and the others off, Song Miqiu was alone again, lying on the table staring blankly at the swaying leaves.

The maid had called for her master to eat earlier, but no one responded after a while, so she noticed Song Miqiu staring blankly.

He walked up to his master and waved his hand in front of her a few times before pulling Song Miqiu out of her daze.

"Why does Master seem so absent-minded today?"

Song Miqiu stood up. "I'm so bored, so incredibly bored."

As they walked, she asked, "Do you think I shouldn't have left the palace? There were all sorts of new things happening in the palace every day, but now I can only sit at home and daydream."

The maid blinked. "Master, you can go see the lantern festival."

"The Lantern Festival?" This piqued Song Miqiu's intense curiosity.

Having transmigrated into Song Miqiu's body, I've never actually heard of this Lantern Festival before, and I'm very curious about what it's like.

"Yes, Master, don't you remember? Every year at this time, a lantern festival is held to celebrate. It's so lively, with fun things and delicious food everywhere."

Just hearing the maid's description here, Song Miqiu was already tempted.

"I definitely have to go see the lantern festival today."

"When does this lantern festival you mentioned start?" she quickly asked the maid.
