Chapter 293 Atmosphere
As summer drew to a close and the energy of returning fortune returned, the corners of my mouth couldn't help but turn up a little more.
Now, the issue that's out in the open is the recovery of the luck from Young Master Zheng, Young Master Chen, and Wan Sinong.
As for the live streaming system in Young Master Li's mind...
Using the same tactic, she caught another intruding live streaming system.
The trouble has decreased by one point, which means she can spend more time with her family.
Happy.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month——
The Lantern Festival in the capital was a grand event, and on this day, people with free time would gather on the streets.
Xia's father and the others were both curious and wanted to see it, but they were also worried about the potential dangers and dared not go out.
"Father, Mother, eldest brother, second brother, third brother, let's go to the Lantern Festival!" Xia Mo enthusiastically invited, making a request.
Huangfu Qian nodded, "I will send people to protect you secretly, so Uncle and Aunt can play without worry."
Even with Huangfu Qian's words, Xia's father and the others still had reservations.
"Let's go, let's go," Xia Mo said, taking her mother's hand and acting coquettishly.
When Xia's parents saw Xia Mo behaving like a child, their expressions softened and their eyes lit up with smiles.
Xia's mother glanced at Huangfu Qian and whispered in Xia Mo's ear, "You're sixteen this year, a grown woman now. You can't act like a child anymore."
Xia Mo immediately put on a cute act, tilting her head slightly as she asked, "In my parents' eyes, am I not a child anymore?"
Xia's father and mother were immediately amused by Xia Mo's reaction, and the corners of their mouths couldn't help but turn up in a happy smile.
Summer's end was also filled with silly laughter.
The atmosphere in the living room, thanks to the playful charm of late summer, unconsciously became relaxed and pleasant.
"master……"
Butler Jiang hesitated, glancing at Huangfu Qian, and called softly. He didn't want to ruin the warm atmosphere in the living room, but he also couldn't keep Miss Lou waiting outside for too long, so he could only call out with a heavy heart.
Huangfu Qian had never experienced such a warm atmosphere in the Xia family since he was a child. He liked it very much, especially now that he was a part of this warm atmosphere.
Huangfu Qian gestured for Steward Jiang to step aside to talk, as he didn't want the warm atmosphere to be ruined.
Not long after.
Huangfu Qian returned and relayed, "Mo'er, Miss Lou is out and would like to invite you to visit the Lantern Festival together."
Xia Mo said first, "You should still call me Xia Mo. Calling me Mo'er gives me goosebumps."
Then she said, "Father, Mother, look, the friends I made in the capital have come to ask me to play together. Would you like to come with me?"
Xia's father and his family thought that their daughter's only friend back in her hometown had betrayed her, and now that she had finally made new friends, they didn't want to spoil the mood.
"Why don't you go?" Xia's mother said with difficulty.
It's a rare treat to come to the capital, but we've been stuck at home for the New Year, and now we can't even participate in the lively Lantern Festival... Xia's mother was a little sad.
"Let's go, let's go," Xia Mo said, clinging to her mother's hand and turning to Huangfu Qian, "Huangfu Qian, have someone bring Miss Lou in and have her wait in the outer hall."
“Alright,” Huangfu Qian turned to the steward and gave the order.
Inside the outer courtyard of the Jiang Prince's Mansion—
Miss Lou was surprised that she could actually enter the Jiang Prince's Mansion. She looked around curiously and realized that she had not been taken to see Xia Mo. She was a little nervous.
"Please wait here for a moment, Miss Lou," Butler Jiang explained to Miss Lou, recalling the information he had gathered. "Miss Xia wants her family to attend the Lantern Festival and is currently making preparations."
"Oh, oh, oh!" Miss Lou was stunned for a moment, then realized that she had misunderstood. She thought that Butler Jiang had brought her here for some other reason, and responded apologetically.
Butler Jiang stepped outside, but had the maids serve him tea and snacks.
Miss Lou still looked nervously toward the backyard of the Jiang Prince's Mansion.
Fifteen minutes later—
Xia Mo successfully led Xia's father and the others to the front hall.
When Miss Lou saw Xia Mo, she jumped up happily. But the moment she saw Xia Erge following behind Xia Mo, she suddenly became embarrassed and lowered her head shyly. Then, when she realized that the older man and woman beside her were Xia Erge's parents, she became even more embarrassed to look up.
The eldest brother, second brother, third brother, and father did not enter the living room, but stood outside the hall, guarding the separation between men and women.
Miss Lou hid behind Xia Mo, embarrassed, to avoid Xia Erge's gaze. In reality, she was overthinking it; Xia Erge wasn't even looking at her.
Xia Mo understood what was going on when she saw Miss Lou's expression, but she still didn't make a move.
Miss Lou is currently showing shyness towards Brother Xia, perhaps because of a small gesture at the banquet that day. She can't blindly bring the two of them together, but it's still okay to increase their contact.
"Miss Lou, you're going out dressed as a woman?" Xia Mo jumped around in front of Miss Lou, showing off her men's clothing, and even kicked her legs to demonstrate the convenience of men's attire.
Miss Lou opened her eyes wide in surprise, looking at Xia Mo's men's clothing. Her envy was almost overflowing from her eyes.
She really wanted to wear men's clothes, which would definitely be more convenient than women's clothes.
"I have some new men's clothes, can you borrow them?" Xia Mo asked.
Miss Lou glanced at Xia's mother and asked shyly in a low voice, "May I?"
"Why not?" Xia Mo asked in return.
Miss Lou said happily, "Please lend me a set of your men's clothing!"
"it is good."
After changing into men's clothing, Ms. Lou felt much lighter and more comfortable.
“Miss Lou, how about we take a carriage to the main street of the lantern festival first, and then get off the carriage outside the main street?” Xia Mo asked.
"Don't call me Miss Lou, my name is Tingting, the Tingting of graceful and elegant," Lou Tingting felt relaxed and wanted to get closer to Xia Mo.
“Okay,” Xia Mo nodded and said, “You can call me Xia Mo.”
"Isn't 'Mo Mo' good enough?" Lou Tingting felt that calling him "Xia Mo" directly sounded too formal.
“It feels a little strange,” Xia Mo shrugged.
Lou Tingting glanced furtively at Huangfu Qian not far away and asked, "Xia Mo, you wouldn't be asking the Prince to call you that too, would you?"
Xia Mo nodded calmly.
Lou Tingting said, "Look, you call me Tingting, it makes us seem very close!"
"If I call you Lou Tingting, does that mean we're not close anymore?" Xia Mo retorted.
Lou Tingting was completely stunned by Xia Mo's question. She blinked blankly for a moment, and then, by chance, she saw Xia Erge walking in front of her. Her cheeks instantly turned red and she lowered her head.
Summer's End: "..."
She hasn't even given the two of them a chance to get to know each other yet!
“I like the surname Xia, and I also like my given name, so I don’t feel awkward when others call me Xia Mo,” Xia Mo glanced at Huangfu Qian walking ahead and replied generously.
Lou Tingting nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
Whether a relationship is close or not has nothing to do with how you address someone. There are even cases where someone sweetly calls another sister, only to stab you in the back!
