"Young Master An!" At this moment, Yun Xuezhi did not know what to say. She could only smile and nod.
"What Miss Yun! Call her sister-in-law!" Mo Yulie punched him on the back with a displeased expression.
An Yichen bit his lip and said stubbornly,""I, I can't say it…"
Mo Yulie wanted to teach him a lesson, but Yun Xuezhi stopped him in time.
"Alright, stop fooling around…Young Master An, thank you for your help again!”Yun Xuezhi bowed slightly and said with a smile.
An Yichen seemed to be starting to get nervous. He waved his hands repeatedly and pretended to be magnanimous."It's a small matter. Don't take it to heart!”
"Right, Yichen, how did you settle your father?”Mo Yulie asked with interest.
An Yichen glared at Mo Yulie, raised his eyebrows, and said loudly,""I told my father that if he didn't tell me honestly, I would learn from that young master of the Mo family and run away from home!”
" You..." Mo Yulie was at a loss for words. He was so angry that his face turned red.
Seeing that he had finally gained the upper hand, An Yichen shrugged proudly and his expression gradually relaxed.
"Right, Miss Yun, when Yu Lie came to find me just now, he said that he wanted to use the ice lotus to save your life…Is it really that serious?”He asked with a worried expression.
Yun Xuezhi smiled and nodded."I am indeed suffering from an incurable disease…"
"Then, then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and go up the mountain!" As he spoke, An Yichen grabbed Yun Xuezhi's arm and turned to leave.
Mo Yulie broke his hand with a wave of his hand and then elbowed his abdomen.
"You're really bold. You actually pulled Sister-in-law in front of Brother Xuanyu!”
An Yichen finally reacted after hearing his words. He smiled at Murong Xuanyu in embarrassment. He opened his mouth to say something, but not a single word came out. He could only silently retreat to the side.
Murong Xuanyu was also a man who knew how to be flirtatious. An Yichen's unsophisticated behavior made him understand more or less. For some reason, he felt a little jealous.
At this moment, Mo Yulie opened the note and looked at it carefully. His expression became serious again.
"I know what this Ice Lotus looks like, but can you find the person who sold the flowers to the An Residence ten years ago?”
Yun Xuezhi took the note and saw a seven-petal lotus drawn in black ink. Under the pattern, the seller's age and characteristics were written.
"No name, no address, how do we find it?”Mo Yulie muttered to himself.
An Yichen glanced at Yun Xuezhi uneasily and said softly,""My father said that the seller seemed to be a hunter who lived in the snow mountain for a long time. He also covered his face when he traded. I only know that the person was in his forties and had a burly figure.”
Yun Xuezhi pondered for a moment before she suddenly raised her head and smiled."That's not difficult! If he had 10,000 taels of gold, that person definitely wouldn't be living on the mountain…As long as he investigated who suddenly became rich overnight ten years ago and compared it to the characteristics of the portrait, he might have some clues!”
Mo Yulie nodded in realization,""Sister-in-law is still smart! However, the Eastern Region was so big. How could they find it?”
"Leave it to me!" Murong Xuanyu, who had been silent, suddenly said," Give me a day. I will find him!"”
"Alright!" Yun Xuezhi nodded." I also want to go back to the residence to pack some simple luggage!”
"Then I'll prepare some herbs to replenish your strength!”Mo Yulie was full of fighting spirit.
"Then, then what can I do?" An Yichen hurriedly asked, afraid that he wouldn't be able to help.
Mo Yulie sized him up and said half-jokingly,""You, just prepare more silver. The An residence doesn't lack silver anyway!”
An Yichen nodded repeatedly and asked seriously,""How much do you want? Is 100,000 silver enough?"
Hearing their conversation, Yun Xuezhi finally could not help but burst out laughing.
" You…" Mo Yulie shrugged helplessly.
An Yichen didn't seem to be able to react. He looked at Mo Yulie blankly.
"Alright, stop fooling around. Time is of the essence. Let's hurry up and split up!”Murong Xuanyu frowned and interrupted this harmonious scene.
"Yes, Brother Xuanyu!" Mo Yulie immediately became serious.
Murong Xuanyu hesitated for a moment and said softly,""Xuezhi, I'm afraid I don't have time to send you back to the Residence of Yun!”
Hearing the way he addressed her, Yun Xuezhi looked at him in surprise, only to see Murong Xuanyu turn his head away in embarrassment. He seemed to be very embarrassed, and she was inexplicably happy.
"It's okay, I'll go back to the residence by myself!”Yun Xuezhi said with a smile.
Seeing this, An Yichen immediately volunteered,""My carriage is parked outside. Let me escort Miss Yun back to her residence!”
Murong Xuanyu looked at An Yichen uneasily, but he couldn't find a reason to object. He could only nod helplessly.
The four of them quickly split up. Yun Xuezhi got into the carriage and saw that An Yichen was still in place. She smiled and said,"You come up too!"
An Yichen's expression was very complicated. It was as if he was having an intense mental struggle. After thinking for a long time, he finally got into the carriage shyly.
The carriage sped off quickly, but An Yichen was unexpectedly silent. The atmosphere between the two of them was really depressing.
Yun Xuezhi tried to break the awkwardness, so she smiled and said,"Young Master An, I'm really grateful to you for saving me time and time again!”
An Yichen played with the folding fan in his hand and remained silent with his head lowered.
Yun Xuezhi did not know why, so she asked bluntly,"Young Master An, why are you suddenly so distant towards this little girl?”
An Yichen pursed his lips as if he had made up his mind. He said softly,""I, I've liked you since the first time I saw you!”
Although she was mentally prepared, An Yichen's honesty still made Yun Xuezhi feel a little overwhelmed.
He let out a long sigh and said with a lonely expression,"I thought that I had finally found a life partner, but I didn't expect that I was still a step too late. Brother Xuanyu beat me to it…"
The man in front of her was clean and pure. Even if it was not her fault, she still felt a little guilty.
"Sigh, why is my life so dark?”As he spoke, An Yichen covered his face with his hands.
Yun Xuezhi couldn't help but burst out laughing.
An Yichen glared at her and said indignantly,""I'm already so sad, and you still have the mood to make fun of me?”
"Young Master An, it's my fault!" Yun Xuezhi hurriedly apologized. She felt that the man in front of her was even more adorable.
After some thought, An Yichen asked carefully,""Are you and Brother Xuanyu truly in love?”
Yun Xuezhi was slightly taken aback. She smiled and asked,"What do you think?"
An Yichen looked dejected and muttered,"" Brother Xuanyu is a prince of the Eastern Region. He's good-looking. Although his personality isn't good, he's not a bad person either. It's only right that you like him…"
Yun Xuezhi almost laughed out loud when she heard him comment on Murong Xuanyu like that.
Young Master An, you're not bad yourself!" Yun Xuezhi comforted him gently.
An Yichen's eyes lit up. He mustered up his courage and asked,""If it weren't for Brother Xuanyu, would you…fall in love with me?”
"You can't be sure about this!" Yun Xuezhi replied seriously.
As if seeing a glimmer of hope, An Yichen immediately perked up."Before you marry him, you must think clearly. If you don't like him anymore, tell me!”
"Deal!" Yun Xuezhi smiled and pulled his pinky swear.
At this moment, the carriage stopped. Yun Xuezhi jumped out of the carriage and waved at him. She turned around and walked towards the entrance of the Residence of Yun.
An Yichen's gaze followed her back closely and then gradually dimmed.
He knew that Yun Xuezhi was just comforting him, but even so, he did not want to give up…
As soon as Yun Xuezhi stepped into the Residence of Yun, she felt that the atmosphere was a little unusual.
There was not a single servant in the huge manor. Yun Xuezhi frowned and quickly walked back to the Breeze Pavilion.
"Xiao Cui! Xiao Cui!" Yun Xuezhi called out a few times, but she did not get a response.
"Strange, where did all these people go?”Yun Xuezhi shook her head in confusion. Just as she was about to pack her bags, she saw Madam Yun appear at the door, so she quickly stopped what she was doing.
"Yo, Xuezhi, you're back!" Madame Yun did not come in. She stood at the door far away with her hands behind her back.
Yun Xuezhi nodded gently. Although her expression was gentle, she did not say anything.
Madam Yun did not mind. She sized up Yun Xuezhi carefully and said with a smile,"I've only been following wangye for a few days and you've become more and more beautiful!”
"Where are the others in the residence?" Yun Xuezhi couldn't be bothered with these pleasantries and asked directly.
Madam Yun smiled strangely. She stretched out one hand and slowly closed the door. Her other hand held a big lock and locked the door of the Breeze Pavilion with a click.
Everything happened too suddenly. By the time Yun Xuezhi reacted, she was already locked in the room by Madam Yun.
"What are you doing? Let me out!" Yun Xuezhi quickly walked to the door and knocked hard.
"Yun Xuezhi, you'd better give up on this idea!”Madame Yun raised her eyebrows proudly, and a cold light flashed in her eyes." Master has received an imperial edict to accompany His Majesty on an inspection tour. He's already on his way south and won't be back for at least eight to ten days!" As for the rest of the people in the residence, I've also sent them away…There's no one else in the residence. I want to see how long you can last without eating or drinking!”
"You want to kill me?" Yun Xuezhi asked through gritted teeth.
"I should have gotten rid of you myself a long time ago!" Madame Yun said hatefully. Otherwise, our Residence of Yun wouldn't have gotten into so much trouble! Rao 'er wouldn't be so sad…"
"You're a lunatic!" Yun Xuezhi roared angrily.
"Go ahead and roar! Scream! " Let's see how long you can be smug…" As she spoke, Madam Yun's face suddenly darkened." I just hate you, and I hate your mother even more!”
At the mention of her mother, Yun Xuezhi felt a sharp pain in her heart. This was a resonance between her physical body and her soul.
