Chapter 478 The Happy Lu Family
Xiao Siyue and Xi Ningzhi exchanged a glance and both thought the girl was quite cute.
"You can call me Siyue." The title of Princess Zhaoning is only used by outsiders. Now that they are friends, Xiao Siyue doesn't want her friends to call her Princess every day.
Zhao Shuran's eyes lit up even more upon hearing this, thinking to herself that Siyue was truly wonderful.
"Siyue".
"Mm." Xiao Siyue nodded.
"Siyue, are you going back to the manor?" Zhao Shuran suddenly thought.
“Yes, we’ve been out for quite a while now and were just about to head back. Would you like to come to my residence?” Xiao Siyue answered truthfully and invited the two to her residence.
"May I?"
“Of course, you’re my new friend.” Xiao Siyue nodded.
Zhao Shuran was very happy, but after looking at her clothes, she realized they were too ordinary for a visit, so she reluctantly declined: "Thank you for the invitation, Siyue, but I won't go today. I'll definitely come to bother you another day."
"Alright then, you must come another day."
"Mhm." Zhao Shuran nodded, and after they talked for a while, Xiao Siyue left.
Zhao Shuran watched Xiao Siyue's departing figure, feeling overjoyed.
Lin Qianqian felt a little jealous looking at her silly expression.
"Shuran, now that you have a new friend, will you stop liking me?" Lin Qianqian asked, pouting awkwardly.
"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Zhao Shuran, who was having a good time, quickly suppressed her smile.
"Qianqian, how could you say such a thing? How could I not like you? We grew up together since we were little, and our friendship is as solid as a rock and unbreakable!" Shuran said excitedly, as if Lin Qianqian's words were a questioning of the deep friendship between them.
In her heart, Lin Qianqian has always held a very important place. Whether it was the happy times they spent playing together as children or the ups and downs they went through together as adults, Lin Qianqian has always been her closest companion and confidante. Even now, with Xiao Siyue as a new friend, Lin Qianqian's position in her heart remains unshaken.
Hearing her words, Lin Qianqian's tense expression finally relaxed, and she revealed a bright smile. She knew that she sometimes wasn't good with her words and easily offended people, so she didn't have many true friends. But this person in front of her had always been there for her, treating her as her best friend.
Lin Qianqian knew very well that this friendship was hard-won and she absolutely could not lose it easily. Therefore, when she heard the other person express their affection and importance to her so firmly, she felt incredibly warm and gratified.

The events that occurred at Songyue Study today spread throughout the capital shortly after Xiao Siyue returned, and everyone knew about Xiao Siyue, the owner behind the scenes.
Immediately, everyone was discussing it. Some people didn't believe it, thinking that how could a young girl like Xiao Siyue have such a large business? They thought it was just rumors.
Most people believe that Xiao Qinian is the true owner of Songyue Bookstore, as this is the most reasonable explanation.
Only a small number of people felt that Xiao Siyue was the one. Of course, no matter what, Songyue Study was related to the Xiao family. They were mostly envious. The value of Songyue Study was immeasurable. How wonderful it would be if it were theirs.

Duke Ding's Mansion
The old Duke, his wife, and all his daughters-in-law and grandchildren were present.
"Father, have you heard? That girl Yue'er is actually the owner of Songyue Study?" Madam Lu looked at the old man at the head of the table with a face full of surprise.
"Yes, I already know." Although Duke Dingguo was also surprised, he was more proud. Such an outstanding child was their future granddaughter-in-law. His grandson had good taste and found the best one right away.
"Congratulations, Third Sister-in-law! You've found such an excellent daughter-in-law. The ladies of the capital must be green with envy." Madam Lu congratulated her with a smile.
"Haha, thank you so much, sister-in-law. I never expected that child to have such a skill. I can hardly believe it." Madam Lu was overjoyed. She couldn't wait to go out and tell everyone how outstanding her future daughter-in-law was.
"Tell me, how did this child's brain develop? How could she build such a large business at such a young age?" The old lady couldn't help but sigh. She had lived for decades and had seen many outstanding people, but she had never seen anyone like Xiao Siyue before.
That child usually seemed smart and lively, but I never expected him to be so well-hidden, actually being the owner of Songyue Bookstore.
"Indeed!" the old Duke exclaimed. "That boy's business acumen is certainly remarkable, but what is truly admirable is his noble and righteous heart! Even I am afraid I cannot compare to him in this respect."
The reason why Songyue Bookstore is so highly praised is, most notably, its free book reading service. Anyone who wants to read can freely enter the bookstore and enjoy the pleasure of reading.
The old Duke couldn't help but fall into deep thought. If he had such a wealth of precious books, he probably wouldn't have been so generous as to offer them to others for free.
Not to mention that the child is so low-key, having hidden himself away for so many years.
If what she had done were made public, she would be supported by all the scholars in the world, but the child never said a word about it.
"Indeed, Zhijin is such a lucky child!" Madam Lu said with a smile. "Back when our two families arranged the marriage between these two children, so many people gossiped behind our backs, saying that the Xiao family's girl was not good enough for Zhijin. But look at the situation now, what do they have to say!"
She became more and more excited as she spoke, her voice rising an octave involuntarily, "I think those people are just jealous that Zhijin has such a good marriage! Now, we should really bring them all here and let them see for themselves whether these two are a good match!"
Hearing Madam Lu's words, the old Duke couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Hahaha, Zhijin really has good taste! He's found us such a wonderful granddaughter-in-law!" He stroked his beard, a satisfied smile spreading across his face.
"Sigh, I just don't know when Zhijin will come back. I feel a little sorry for Yue'er. She's such an excellent girl, but she's being laughed at because of Zhijin." Madam Lu was angry when she talked about this. In the past two days, some people have been talking badly about Yue'er behind her back. Although she had already scolded them, she was still a little unsatisfied.
Upon hearing this, the Lu family fell silent. Indeed, they had wronged Yue'er. They had witnessed it all over the past two years; since she got together with Zhi Jin, she had not gained any benefits but had always suffered injustices.
