Gently patting Nangong Lingyan's hand to signal her to stop, Yang Mengchen stood up, and with a smile, addressed the Eight Brothers of the Yang family, "They are Young Master Nangong's parents and his second and fifth sisters. Uncle Nangong, Aunty Nangong, Sister Lingyan, Sister Lingyao, these are my eight brothers." Then, she introduced each of the brothers by their names.

"This youngster pays his respects to Uncle Nangong, Aunty Nangong, Second Miss, and Fifth Miss." The eight brothers greeted them with proper etiquette.

"Good children, please rise," Lady Nangong said as she motioned for them to stand up. Admiring the impressive bearing of the eight brothers with appreciation in her eyes and a benevolent expression on her face, it was no wonder Ling Fei spoke so highly of the Yang siblings. Each one indeed had an extraordinary temperament.

She turned her gaze to Long Jingxi and Min Luozhan standing beside them, who, despite their ordinary faces, exuded an aura of regal grace: "And who might these two be?"

Nangong Lingfei was just about to explain to his mother when he suddenly caught Long Xuanmo's piercing look, touched his nose awkwardly, and closed his mouth, not daring to speak.

The eight brothers didn't know what to say, as the identities of the Eldest Princess and the prince consort needed to be kept secret, so they looked towards their sister for guidance.

Not understanding the situation, Lady Nangong exchanged a glance with her husband, and both turned their eyes to Yang Mengchen.

The others also turned their attention to Yang Mengchen.

Doctor Luo intended to help Yang Mengchen out of the awkward situation, but Lady Luo quietly pulled at him just in time. Doctor Luo looked at his wife in confusion, then followed her gaze, only to see Long Xuanmo sitting there with a cold and solemn expression, clearly with an ulterior motive. After a moment's thought, he decided to wait and see how things unfolded.

Long Jingxi and Min Luozhan were mischievously silent, lips pursed, also looking at Yang Mengchen, curious as to how she would introduce them as a couple.

"Why is everyone looking at Ninth Sister?" Even the outspoken Nangong Lingyan found the behavior of the others odd.

Unfortunately, no one answered her.

Yang Mengchen felt the embarrassment under everyone's probing gazes and looked sideways at Long Xuanmo: Prince, what should I say?

Ignoring Yang Mengchen's plea in her eyes, Long Xuanmo instead elegantly sipped from the teacup she had just used, with a composed and noble demeanor, his deep eyes as profound as the ocean, unaware to others that he was feeling both nervous and joyful.

Long Xuanmo actually drank from the cup she had used, particularly where her lips seemed to have touched, which was as good as an indirect kiss? This discovery startled Yang Mengchen, causing ripples in her heart and a faint blush to slowly spread across her fair cheeks.

Damn Long Xuanmo! Scoundrel! Libertine! Yang Mengchen cursed under her breath.

Yet with everyone still staring at her, and Long Xuanmo remaining tight-lipped, Yang Mengchen had to find a way to deal with the immediate problem.

How should she introduce them to avoid raising suspicions?

Suddenly, Yang Mengchen remembered that she had recognized Yingtong as her sister, and Yingtong had also recognized her as a sister. Since the Eldest Princess and the prince consort were Yingtong's sister and brother-in-law, they naturally were her sister and brother-in-law as well. That should be correct, right? But why did it feel so awkward? Anyway, she had to get through this for now.

"They are my sister Xi Feng and brother-in-law Luo Min," Yang Mengchen introduced them smoothly with a smile.

Doctor Luo and the others were astonished.

Nangong Lingfei, who happened to have a mouthful of tea, choked upon hearing her words, coughing incessantly, his handsome face turning red.

After a brief shock, Long Jingxi and Min Luozhan, as husband and wife, smiled and nodded. Ms. Yang, oh, rather, Ninth Sister is indeed clever and resourceful. In just a moment, she had resolved the difficult situation. Now that Ninth Sister has publicly claimed them as her sister and brother-in-law, surely the Third Imperial Younger Brother must be the happiest.

Just as the couple had anticipated, Long Xuanmo's tension eased instantly, filled with joy and sweetness, which softened his usual cold expression and lifted the corners of his mouth into a faint smile.
