Having returned to his senses, Long Xuanmo, guided by Madam Quanfu, completed the remaining rituals. Amidst the joyful teasing of the crowd, he reluctantly left to entertain the guests in the front yard. Before departing, he repeatedly entrusted Long Jingxi and Long Yingtong with the care of Yang Mengchen.
Princess Ning took her leave along with the others, leaving only Long Jingxi and Long Yingtong, the sisters, to accompany Yang Mengchen.
"Sister, oh, I mean Third Sister-in-Law, we finally become one family, how wonderful!" Long Yingtong laughed joyfully, holding Yang Mengchen's hand.
Beside them, Long Jingxi smiled and said, "Little Third Sister-in-Law must be hungry, right? Have something to eat first." She then instructed the maid to bring in some food.
"Thank you, Eldest Imperial Sister."
