Baili Yan turned his head to look at Shen Siyan and was stunned. This usually cold and arrogant man actually had a rare smile on his face.

"Si Yan, are you also bewitched?"

Shen Siyan's eyes were fixed on Ye Yunzi. There were many flowers blooming around her, but in his eyes, she was the only one who shone brightly and was different from others.

Baili Yan laughed out loud and said, "Even Shen Siyan has times when he is completely attracted!"

……

Jiaojiao secretly clenched her sleeves, her teeth were grinding, and her face was pale.

I thought Ye Yunzi's dancing was just so-so, how could she compare to the stunning dance that I had practiced so hard for so long! Who would have thought that she was not only an excellent dancer, but also painted a peony on the spot, and the poem she recited at the end was also amazing.

Ye Yunzi is like a snow lotus that blooms alone in the cold, making everyone who sees it fall in love with it and unable to extricate themselves. Whether it is dancing, painting or poetry, everything is outstanding. The once unknown Ye Yunzi is now shining and impressive.

"Ye Yunzi..."

Jiaojiao's eyes were full of resentment, and she was unwilling to be suppressed by her.

She was not the only one who was dissatisfied. Many people on the field had mixed feelings. They were originally waiting to see the joke, but were slapped in the face by this sudden reversal.

Su Yuqiang forced a smile: "Ms. Ye is very talented. Your performance today is really eye-catching. I'm sure you will win the first prize."

Ye Yunzi smiled calmly and responded, "Miss Su, you are too kind."

At this time, her peony painting had been delivered to the pavilion by two servants. Baili Yan applauded again and said, "Appreciate it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he took off the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to the servant.

When the jade pendant, a symbol of status, was presented to Ye Yunzi, the people around her were filled with envy and jealousy. Especially Lin Yiqing, whose eyes were almost spitting fire as he stared at the jade pendant.

That is the jade pendant bestowed by the Seventh Prince himself!

It is such a great honor to be valued by His Highness!

"Miss Ye, come to me with this jade pendant. No matter what you want, as long as it is something that I, His Highness, can do, I will definitely do it!" Baili Yan said generously.

This jade pendant is not light. Ye Yunzi played with the jade pendant with the word "Yan" engraved on it. She remained calm on the surface, but no one could guess what she was thinking. She raised her head, nodded lightly, and said politely, "Thanks to the kindness of His Highness the Seventh Prince."

Afterwards, although many people took turns to show their talents, all other performances pale in comparison to Ye Yunzi's stunning dance moves.

It seems that Ye Yunzi will win the first prize today.

Who would have thought that this usually low-key woman could perform such a moving dance.

Ye Yunzi retreated to a corner, neither humble nor arrogant, quietly sipping her tea. After a moment, she raised her head and looked around, with a searching look in her eyes, as if she was searching for someone's trace.

"Where's Zhilan? Where did she go?"

It seems like I haven’t seen Zhilan for a while.

Normally, she should come back immediately after finishing her work, but where could she go in the backyard of the Marquis's Mansion?

Ye Yunzi's heart tightened and she felt something was wrong.

At this time, Ye Yunzi met Jiaojiao. She said softly, "Jiaojiao? Have you seen my maid?"

Jiaojiao smiled gently and said, "Sister, how would I know your maid? I'm pregnant now and I dare not run around. Shen Lang will feel bad for me." As she spoke, she touched her belly.

"Then congratulations to you. This is really cause for celebration." Ye Yunzi said congratulatory words in a fake tone.

A hint of pride flashed across Jiaojiao's face, but she was also a little wary. She smiled slightly, with a hint of shyness in her tone: "Sister Yunzi, thank you for the compliment. I just found out about it, and I am naturally happy."

Ye Yunzi smiled lightly, with a barely perceptible sarcasm in her tone: "I don't have a sister like you. Your good news is really joyful. However, I heard that pregnant women should rest more, but your sister has not slacked off in dancing. I really admire her."

A trace of panic flashed across Jiaojiao's eyes, but she quickly concealed it. She replied softly, "Sister Yunzi is right. I will pay attention to it."

Ye Yunzi's eyes flashed with a gleam of light. She knew that Jiaojiao's lies were like the sword of Damocles hanging over her head, which could fall at any time. She said softly, "Sister, some things, once started, there is no turning back. Lies are lies after all, and they will be exposed one day."

Jiaojiao's expression changed, and her voice trembled a little: "Sister Yunzi, what do you mean by this?"

Ye Yunzi shook her head slightly, with a hint of mystery in her tone: "Sister, there are some things that are better not to be known. I just hope that you can take care of yourself."

This is also what Ye Yunzi calculated according to the time of her previous life. At this time, Jiaojiao is not pregnant, so there must be something fishy about her words.

The conversation between the two people drifted away in the garden. Ye Yunzi's figure gradually faded away, leaving Jiaojiao standing alone in the wind, with a hint of uneasiness and fear on her face.

Ye Yunzi's words, like a thorn, pierced deeply into her heart.

Jiaojiao stared at Ye Yunzi, sneered, lowered her head and glanced at the object in her hand, her eyes were cold, "Ye Yunzi...what are you so proud of? Let's see how you hide this time!"

Just as everyone was chatting and drinking tea, a maid approached Ye Yunzi and called out, "Miss Ye."

Ye Yunzi raised her eyes and saw a clever maid standing in front of her, but she was a stranger.

The maid said, "Zhilan asked me to tell the young lady to go to the west wing to discuss something important."

"irises and orchids?"

Ye Yunzi had been looking for Zhilan for a long time but to no avail, but now she was sending a message through someone else? She was puzzled, because Zhilan was definitely not someone who would do such a thing.

At this time, the maid spread out her palm, on which lay quietly a shiny black earring.

"This earring belongs to Zhilan. Miss, you can tell whether it's real or fake at a glance..." She spoke slowly in a calm tone, and it didn't sound like she was lying.

Ye Yunzi frowned and looked carefully at the earrings in her hand. Yes, they were indeed Zhilan's.

"Where is she?" Ye Yunzi clenched her earrings, stood up, and asked in a cold voice.

The maid remained calm and answered respectfully, "She is in the west wing. Miss, go find her directly."

Ye Yunzi glanced around and met Jiaojiao's direct gaze not far away. Their eyes met. Jiaojiao lowered her eyes slightly, but a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth, and then she looked away.

Ye Yunzi's heart tightened; this matter was quite intriguing.

Even though she knew the road ahead might be a trap, she had to go through it anyway. After all, the fact that the other party was able to get Zhilan's earrings meant that Zhilan was in their hands.

"I understand." She responded coldly, turned around and strode out of the hall.

Jiaojiao was watching Ye Yunzi's back disappear from the scene, "Hmph..."
