"The Western Regions are so far away and the road is bumpy. It will take two months to reach the capital. What is there that can't be found in the capital?" Ye Yunzi suddenly asked.

Su Huan replied: "Manjusaka."

"Manjusaka?" Ye Yunzi looked confused.

"I heard that it is a strange flower that grows on the bank of the underworld. Its bright red petals dance lightly in the wind. They are slender, soft, and can captivate people. It can be called the most beautiful flower in the world..."

"Have you seen it yourself?"

"Never." Su Huan said in a flat tone.

Ye Yunzi narrowed her eyes slightly, "If there is a chance, I would like to see with my own eyes the true appearance of this 'Flower of Hell'..." After all, she was reborn from "Hell", experienced death once, and lived again in this age.

Su Huan stared at her, casually took the pear blossom from her hair, pinned it back on, and said softly, "If I really meet that demon flower, I will definitely pick it and give it to you."

"This pear blossom suits you very well..."

He let go, and the corners of his mouth rarely raised, revealing a gentle smile.

……

As the sun sets, Su and Ye Yunzi prepare to return to the Ye Mansion. When they go out, they happen to meet Su Yongyu who is also going out.

"Uncle, why don't you live in the mansion?"

Su Yongyu looked solemn as he explained, "I have some things to deal with outside. I will naturally move into the mansion after I finish them. I will live in the inn for the time being."

"Heng'er will stay in the Ye Mansion. I feel relieved that he will have his father personally guiding him. Heng'er is smart and will become a great man in the future!" Su Yongyu's words were full of satisfaction and he treated Su Huan as his own son.

"Yes, Heng'er is indeed a good boy." Su agreed.

Ye Yunzi and Su left in a carriage. Before leaving, she lifted the curtain and looked back, only to see two servants in coarse clothes following closely behind Su Yongyu. They had serious faces and looked like ordinary servants.

But if you look closely, you can see many old scars on the palms of their hands, which are obviously traces left by sword practice.

They are obviously masters of swordsmanship, but why did Su Yongyu bring so many people with great martial arts skills?

Ye Yunzi frowned, feeling confused.

She lowered the curtain and sat up straight. In any case, Su Yongyu's arrival made her feel a little relieved. Next, she had to consider how to find an opportunity to discuss with Su Yongyu and turn the situation around in the future.

"Drive! Drive!"

On the dim street, shops on both sides were closed one after another, and in the middle a horse-drawn carriage was moving steadily forward. The driver drove well, and the carriage moved smoothly without any bumps.

Soon after, the carriage stopped in front of an inn.

Tianfu Inn is a famous hotel in the capital. Even if you have a lot of money, you may not be able to get a bed there.

"Master." As the curtain of the carriage was gently lifted, the servant respectfully announced that they had arrived at the inn.

Su Yongyu looked up, confirmed that everything was correct, and then stepped out of the car.

"Master, the No. 1 room has been prepared for you."

A group of people, led by Su Yongyu, walked into the inn. The clothes he wore were of extraordinary quality, and at first glance he looked like a wealthy businessman, but upon closer inspection, the indifference between his brows made people feel oppressed.

Not long after Su Yongyu entered the inn, a figure slowly walked out of the shadows.

Shen Siyan narrowed his eyes, scanned the carriage with an inquiring look, and then focused on the person who had just entered the inn.

He muttered to himself, "The followers behind that man walked lightly and silently. They were obviously masters who had received rigorous training. As for the pattern on the carriage..."

He looked up and saw that the body of the car was intricately carved with patterns, one of which was particularly vivid, but it was difficult to identify the species it belonged to.

"From Yangguan." He said coldly, with a hint of chill in his eyes, "People from Yangguan City actually showed up in the capital, and do they have any connection with the Ye Mansion?"

Yangguan, that is the heart of the Western Regions, mysterious and unpredictable, and difficult for outsiders to set foot in. This person not only came from Yangguan, but also brought a group of subordinates with high martial arts skills. It seems that the story behind the Ye Mansion is not simple.

……

The moon is rising above the willows, and the night is deep.

Ye Yunzi returned to the house, unfolded the scroll, picked up the brush, and meticulously sketched a figure. Her painting skills were superb, and the characters she drew came to life on the paper.

As the brushstrokes flowed, Su Huan's tall and handsome figure gradually emerged. His face was stern, his eyes did not contain the slightest smile, and his whole body exuded nobility and pride.

"Su Huan..." Ye Yunzi whispered, feeling more and more that this person seemed familiar.

It wasn't just a passing encounter in the previous life, but a trust that went deep into the bones, as if I had interacted with him many times.

Just as she was about to add the final stroke to the narrow eyebrows, the tip of the pen paused. She recalled the eyes that were like the purest jade, how could she bear to smudge them with ink.

At this time, the door opened lightly, and Yu Shu came in: "Miss, it's late, it's time to rest."

"Yeah." Ye Yunzi put down her pen and responded.

Yu Shu saw her young lady painting, which was a rare occasion. Curiosity prompted her to take a look. On the canvas was a handsome young man, who was brought to life with just a few strokes, except for his eyes.

"Miss, who is this young man? He doesn't look like the eldest young master!" After all, the young lady and the eldest young master seldom interact with each other, let alone paint a special portrait.

"Why aren't there any eyes?" Yu Shu fanned the painting with a small fan to help the ink dry quickly. Ye Yunzi stared at the painting and shook her head gently, "His eyes are like stars in the night sky."

Your eyes shine like stars.

The childish words echoed in her ears, and Ye Yunzi was stunned, as if some memories had broken through the shackles of time, and she remembered what she had said. However, when she thought about it more deeply, it was all blurry.

She rubbed her forehead and said, "I'm tired. Leave the oil lamp on. You don't need to turn it off."

"Okay, miss."

Yu Shu collected the dried scroll, put it into the frame, and then left the room.

……

The next morning, after a night of rain, the flowers, plants and trees were all brand new. I opened the window and the fresh air hit me.

Yu Shu came in to help Ye Yunzi wash and dress up.

Today is the day to pay respects to Madam Ye. Madam Ye lives in a remote Jingxin Temple, where she devotes her time to worshipping Buddha. She is exempt from the daily greetings, but she must go to Jingxin Temple on the 15th of every month to pay respects.

Everyone gathered at Jingxinyuan.

The third aunt held Ye Ziru's hand, pinched it secretly as they walked, and signaled with her eyes that she should be smart and sensible.

Ye Ziru smiled lightly, "Mom, don't worry, I know how to make the old lady happy."

In the Ye Mansion, Ye Chongde is a well-known filial son. He listens to the old lady's words and takes the old lady's feelings into consideration.

As long as they can make the old lady happy and get her to say something, life in Zijinyuan will not be so easy.

Ye Zi is a naturally beautiful girl. Today she wore a goose yellow long dress, which made her skin look whiter than snow, and her rosy cheeks made her look even more charming.

The mother and daughter entered the meditation courtyard and first bowed to greet the old lady.

The old lady looked up at the two of them. Ye Ziru was both gentle and beautiful, and even among so many daughters, she was very eye-catching. She nodded with satisfaction. Then she turned her eyes to the third aunt, noticed her bulging belly, and smiled kindly, "How are you recently?"
