sobbing uncontrollably. 。It turned out to be a false alarm, it turned out she still hadn't found the person she was looking for, it turned out that in this world there was only her, alone, living thi..."Ah!" Yè Wēn Yán nodded. "I, your guest, am still sitting here, and you, as the host, just say you're leaving What logic is that You should at least treat me to a midday meal! That's how one treats guests."
Quan Qinghua took a deep breath, narrowed her eyes, and shook her head. "If you're hungry, go home to eat. The Chen Palace doesn't entertain female guests."
She let out a "tsk" and relaxed her grip. Watching Quan Qinghua walk step by step away, all the way to the shore, she suddenly remembered something and shouted at his back, "Why don't you invite your female guest Feng Zhaolian has been staying here for so long! Are you not treating her as a woman Then tomorrow I will send my fifth younger sister over. She is a proper young lady!"
Quan Qinghua's body seemed to shake, and her departing footsteps became more hurried.
Ye Wenyan wrinkled his nose and ignored him.
The letter in my hand was quite thick. I wonder how many pages she had written. Maybe she wrote down every single thing she saw and experienced on the journey from Lin'an to Guiyue
She thought about the girl in the red silk skirt that winter and found it quite plausible.
Looking again at the words on the envelope, “From a beauty,” it was bold and imposing, not at all like the delicate script of a young girl. This made her have to think about what kind of person Lian Wang, the lotus king, had been in his previous life when he was sealed by the heavens for a thousand years.
Having left, Qian Qing painted his way out, the guards from the Dust Mansion on the lakeshore had also withdrawn, leaving only Ye Fei Zhou and Zhuai'er Ji Rong.
She saw Ye Fei Zhou walk over, all the way to the Lake Heart Pavilion without being stopped by anyone. She couldn't help but purse her lips, "Second brother, you said that the people of Dust King's Mansion are really not taking precautions seriously They wouldn't let us come over just now, and now they're just wandering around freely. Even the guards have been withdrawn, and they don't even care if we tear down their pavilion"
Ye Fei Zhou said, "Whether the pavilion is elegant or not doesn't matter, they might just be protecting their master from being besieged by us. Speaking of which, this shows a lack of trust in their own master's skills, or…" He thought for a moment and said, "Or perhaps they think I'm too powerful."
"You need to give yourself some credit!" she sighed. "Don't brag about yourself, if you have to brag, let me do it. Anyway, the matter is settled, let's go home."
She pulled Ye Fei Zhou along, and Ye Fei Zhou watched as the letter she had been holding vanished into thin air. He couldn't help but recall her previous mention of a storage bracelet, and his heart was filled with newfound conviction about the technique Shi Li Yuan had taught her.
"The matter you sought, did the Fourth Prince accede to" he asked her. "Did you offer any terms in exchange"
"Yes, I did. " she said honestly. "Fourth Prince submitted that you steal back those three letters for me as an exchange."
He paused for a moment, not too surprised. He simply said, "Did you agree"
"No," she replied readily, "I told him, I help my own but not strangers. If I don't give it, I won't give it."
"Then how did he respond" Ye Fei Zhou suddenly became a little nervous, "Xiao Si, what exactly did you exchange with him"
“Nothing changed at all!” She laughed and pulled him again, “Second brother, rest assured, nothing changed. I didn’t lose out either; he made concessions to me himself. You saw the letter just now, right It was from Lady Returning Moon sent to me. She had some acquaintance with Fourth Prince during her time in Returning Moon, so she wrote to ask him to help me. So Fourth Prince agreed, and what he exchanged for it was Lady Returning Moon’s kindness towards him during his years as a hostage.”
Ye Fei Zhou heard a little messy, thought for a while, and finally sorted it out. Then the problem came again: "Then aren't you indebted to Lady Guiyue again How do you repay her"
"No need to repay me." She smiled. "Between me and her, there's no need for any repayment of favors. We have a common desire and goal, and one day we will come together. We are working towards that shared goal, so these small matters are insignificant right now."
“Is that so It’s hard for Ye Fei Zhou to imagine what common goal there could be, but seeing Ye Wenyan show no intention of speaking, he didn’t press further. He just said, “It’s almost noon. The house has been quite chaotic these past few days. If you don’t want to return to have a meal, let’s eat out.”
"Good." She replied readily, "I didn't eat much this morning, just right to go have a good meal. Second Brother, you treat!"
After finishing her words, she walked to the bank and called out to Zhu'er and Ji Rong: "Come on, come on, let's go eat. The Second Young Master is treating us today. You can order anything you want, don't worry about saving him money."
Ji Rong felt a little embarrassed and simply said, "Whatever the young mistress eats, I'll eat the same thing."
Zhuai'er became much more generous and, after thinking seriously for a while, suggested, "Didn't a new restaurant specializing in mutton just open on Shuntian Street Let's go eat there!"
"Ye Wen was particularly puzzled: 'How did you hear about all this Why haven't I heard of it'"
Zhui'er pointed at the boat that flew through the night, "Just as the second young master said."
She looked at Ye Fei Zhou in astonishment, "How did you know"
"Just, just what I heard. Are you going or not"
"Go." Ye Wenyan had no objections. "Eating mutton can make you feel warm, which suits me." After speaking, she shivered, sure enough, the thin skirt for spring was not suitable for her. At this moment, without spiritual power to maintain it, she was terribly cold.
Ye Fei Zhou glanced at her, his brow furrowed slightly, but he still didn't say anything, and pulled her away.
In the distance corner, Quan Qing painted stood with his hands behind his back, always feeling that something about tonight's Night Wenyan seemed a little off.
This little girl, besides her usual pale complexion, seemed very tense all over. It was as if she was trying hard to hold something in. He hadn't realized what she was holding back before this moment, but now he understood – she was enduring the cold.
But why would Ye Wen's body be cold It was almost April, spring was warming up and flowers were blooming. The city of Lin'an inside and out was full of renewed life. Although she wore less than usual, it was still normal spring clothing. How could she possibly feel cold
Shuntian Street is not always getting new restaurants, but any newly opened restaurant will be more distinctive. The owner must also be very confident in their business to spend a lot of money to get the previous operator to give way to them.
The girl sitting in the carriage said, "There hasn't been a restaurant specializing in mutton in Lin'an's inner city before. It should be the first one."
Ji Rong then said, "There is a lamb restaurant in Quanzhou, but it's very small. It's definitely not comparable to those in Kyoto."
Ye Wenyan glanced at Ye Feizhou, seeing that he remained silent. She nudged closer to him and asked, "Second Brother, do you know who owns that establishment Anyone who can open a place in the inner city must be related to officials, right"
"I don't know," Ye Fei Zhou shook his head, then glanced at her slantingly. "As long as there's food, who cares who drives"
Ye Wenyan touched his nose, "That's right, as long as there is food to eat. I just think it's convenient to open a mutton restaurant, after all, I am always cold and need to eat more mutton to warm up. It's a pity that it's not very convenient to cook anything at home. In the big kitchen, cooking needs to consider everyone in the family's tastes, so it's hard to ask them to make what I like specially. Although there is a stove in my small courtyard, I can only make simple dishes, and complex dishes cannot be made. Besides, even if I could cook, no one would know how. There are no skilled cooks around me. Well, the kitchen in Qingliang Courtyard is bigger, and my mother's cooking skills are good, but I can't always bother her."
"Ye Fei Zhou was puzzled. 'How could your aunt dislike you being a trouble to her'
"
She corrected him: "First, that's not your aunt anymore, she's your mother now, you should call her Mother. Second, even if she were your biological mother, she wouldn't just be my mother. I can't ask her to cook for me all the time."
"That's right," Zhuoer chimed in. "At the very least, if Second Miss saw this, she would surely cause a commotion again."
When it came to Ye Lianmian, Ye Feizhou no longer asked any further questions. He only said to Ye Wen, "Our house is indeed inconvenient, so for a while you try that newly opened restaurant. If the taste is good, I will often accompany you here in the future."
Inside the car, a family was chatting when suddenly the vehicle jolted to a halt. The horse let out a neigh, and then an outside woman's voice cried out, "Ah!"
Night Wen was startled. Had he run into someone
Ji Rong immediately lifted the curtains and walked out, with Zhuai following closely behind. Soon, Zhuai retracted her head from outside the carriage and whispered to Ye Wen, “Miss, it seems we’ve run into trouble again. You won't believe who we bumped into It was Miss Li Yanran, the eldest daughter of the Li family.”
Ye Wen was taken aback, Li Yanran What a coincidence!
She was in a very bad mood. She had been feeling cold all over and just wanted to eat some mutton to warm herself up quickly. After eating, she still had to hurry back to see what was written in the letter that Feng Zhaolian had sent her. Who knew that she would meet Li Yanran halfway through This made her directly doubt the authenticity of the accident. So she asked, "Did you really run into her"
The coachman who was being driven away heard this and felt very wronged: "Miss Four, I didn't hit her! Our carriage was still a step away from her, our clothes weren't even grazed, she just sat down on the ground herself."
The person on the ground had already been helped up, but their headwear, a veil, had fallen off, revealing their true face.
The people on the street immediately recognized her, and someone exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't this Miss Li"
Li Yanran looked wronged, with tears welling up in her eyes as she told the coachman: "It was clearly your carriage that hit me, why don't you admit it I don't even want you to pay me anything, just say sorry to me, is that too much to ask"
The coachman was getting agitated. “I said I didn’t hit you, I didn’t hit you! You tripped and fell yourself, and you scared my horse. Why should I apologize to you An apology is only given when I'm truly in the wrong, and I did nothing wrong, so why should I”
Li Yanran's maidservant also became angry, "You, a driver, are so bold to speak to my young mistress like that Who do you belong to Whose master raised such an arrogant servant"
Originally, Zhuai'er had stuck her head into the carriage to speak. Suddenly, she became flustered and drew the curtain back as she turned around, addressing the maid sharply: "Night's family, do you have an opinion"
