Yin Danmei had been serving Mrs. Li since she was a child, until she was betrothed to her childhood sweetheart twelve years ago. The couple worked in the Guan family.

However, not long after getting married, her husband passed away, and she has been a widow until today...

This time, Guan Hualang came back to the Guan family to find her and told her that her aunt wanted her to teach someone a skill. She thought that her future master would be this disciple of her aunt, and as expected, her judgment was correct!

At this time, Bai Binghui's inner thoughts were similar to Yin Danmei's. She was bought into the Guan family by Mrs. Li ten years ago.

Even though she was a maid, she didn't do much physical work. Now Mrs. Li brought her from the Guan family and asked her to serve the young lady. She must have chosen her because she trusted her 100%!

After bowing, Jie Ke went in and asked where the lunch was. Mrs. Li told them to eat in the tea room, and Guan Hualang and Li Yuyan would also come with them soon.

"You two have been traveling for several days, so I think you must be tired. Fulan, take Aunt Yin and Bai Binghui downstairs to rest and eat first, and then go back with the young lady in the afternoon." Mrs. Li said.

There were no other girls in the Li family, and Wei Bingyan was Mrs. Li's apprentice. She came home almost every day, so the servants called her "Miss" instead of the somewhat unfamiliar "Miss Wei".

Aunt Yin and Bai Binghui bowed and followed Fulan downstairs.

"Aunt Yin practiced with me before, and her skills are very good. With her teaching, you will definitely be able to learn martial arts to protect yourself!" Mrs. Li and Wei Bingyan said as they walked towards the Fragrance Hall.

"Master gave Aunt Yin and Bai Binghui to me, what should you do?" Wei Bingyan asked.

Mrs. Li smiled slightly, "I have quite a few maids around me, and few of them can plot against me."

"Do I look so easy to be plotted against?" Wei Bingyan blamed softly, but the feeling of being protected was very good. She hadn't felt this way for a long time, being cared for. Except for her mother, no one had ever looked at her like that.

"You are a clever lady, but no matter how clever a person is, it is not enough to rely on herself. Everyone needs the support of others," said Mrs. Li.

Wei Bingyan nodded, "I understand this truth, but... people's hearts are always hard to understand."

Mrs. Li smiled and said, "Aunt Yin and Bai Binghui are people I trust, and you have reason to trust them."

"Master, thank you very much." Wei Bingyan said touchedly.

"What are you thanking me for? As a master, you must protect your disciples. If you are oppressed and bullied at will, wouldn't it be embarrassing for me?" Mrs. Li said with a bright smile.

Wei Bingyan also smiled. It was a very happy thing to have a master like Mrs. Li.

Not long after they sat down in the tea room, Li Yuyan and Guan Hualang took the lead and walked in.

"Aunt, Junior Sister." Guan Hualang walked in with a smile and sat down next to Mrs. Li. "I'm so hungry, Aunt, can we start eating?"

Li Yuyan clasped his fists and bowed to Mrs. Li, then nodded slightly to Wei Bingyan before sitting down on another bench.

"Senior Brother, Third Brother..." Wei Bingyan greeted them with a smile, but when she called Li Yuyan "Third Brother", there was a hint of reluctance in her tone.

After not seeing each other for two months, Li Yuyan seemed to have grown a little taller, and his originally snow-white skin had become much darker, making him look less bookish and more sharp than before.

"Junior sister, it's been a long time since we last met. How have you been lately?" Li Yuyan smiled as if he were a friendly senior brother.

Mrs. Li glanced at him. She knew her son best and had no idea what this kid was thinking. He always seemed suspicious of Bingyan. He was such an uncute child.

"Thank you for your concern, Third Brother. Everything is fine!" Seeing Li Yuyan's warm smile, Wei Bingyan didn't feel friendly at all. Instead, she felt more sinister.

"Junior sister, I heard from others that the ugly girl is deliberately framing you outside again, is that true?" Guan Hualang suddenly thought of what he had just heard from others, and immediately asked Wei Bingyan with concern.

There is only one ugly woman in Guan Hualang’s mouth, and that is Chu Xueying.

Wei Bingyan smiled and said, "Big Brother, where did you hear this from?"

"It seems to be true. Ugly people tend to do bad things. Junior sister, you must not always be oppressed and bullied by her. Do you need help from senior brother?" In Guan Hualang's opinion, he did not feel that Chu Xueying was a young lady and therefore should not be offended at will. He just felt that Chu Xueying oppressed and bullied his junior sister, so he had to retaliate for his junior sister.

"No need, senior brother, I can handle it. Just relax. I am not so easily oppressed and bullied." Wei Bingyan said with a smile.

Li Yuyan's eyelids opened and her lips raised at a nice angle, and she said to Guan Hualang, "Junior Sister is not as weak as you think."

As they were talking, Czech came with her maid and brought the meal.

Guan Hualang was hungry and was only concerned with filling his stomach. He didn't even remember to have a heated argument with Li Yuyan about whether he should protect his junior sister.

After dinner, two housekeepers had to give a reply to Mrs. Li, so Wei Bingyan went to the study to read first.

Li Yuyan stood up and said with a smile, "I was just about to go to the study to get something, along with Junior Sister."

Guan Hualang frowned and asked, "What are you going to get?"

"You go wait for me up front first. We'll go out after I get the things." Li Yuyan said to Guan Hualang.

Guan Hualang shrugged his shoulders, nodded without any doubt, and went to the courtyard first.

Wei Bingyan and Li Yuyan walked out of the Fragrance Hall one after the other and walked along the quiet path towards the study room at the back.

Mrs. Li's study was not in the main courtyard, but in another courtyard with fresh air. In addition to the study where she studied hard every day, there were also many rooms for displaying medicinal herbs.

The two of them were silent on the way, and had nothing to say. Wei Bingyan didn't want to talk too much with Li Yuyan, and Li Yuyan seemed to be thinking about something and looked at her several times, hesitating whether he should tell her in advance what he had found out.

"Junior sister, have you heard of Fudian Silver Bank?" Li Yuyan finally opened her mouth softly when she was about to walk into the study.

"Fudian has a great reputation, of course I've heard of it." Wei Bingyan said softly.

Li Yuyan glanced at Anxiang behind Wei Bingyan. Anxiang knew the ways of the world and stepped back, walking to a place where they could not hear their conversation.

"In the past, Lord Wei sent people to look for Mr. Pan of Fudian Bank. As for the reason, you should understand it without me telling you. According to my understanding, it is not difficult to bribe and win over such a Mr. Pan with benefits, and you can't see that there is someone behind him. Lord Wei doesn't understand Mr. Pan's character. I hope he won't be deceived."

Li Yuyan spoke softly, his face remaining as cold as ever.

Wei Bingyan was actually shocked when she heard this. Li Yuyan even knew that Wei Zhong had gone to look for this Boss Pan, so what did he mean today?

Wait, she remembered that in her previous life, the Crown Prince had indeed tried his best to win over the owner of the silver bank, but in the end, he was almost slandered by the Fourth Prince for this reason...

"I have remembered what Third Brother said. Thank you for your reminder. However, the person who went to look for Boss Pan seems to be Mr. Tang. Although Mr. Tang came to Jinyun City with my father, he may not be related to my father." Wei Bingyan bowed respectfully to express her gratitude.

However, based on what she knew about Wei Zhong, he would never take part in anything too risky by himself.

Li Yuyan nodded, looked at her and suddenly smiled, "As expected, I was wrong." After finishing his speech, he left.

Wei Bingyan frowned and looked at his handsome figure which was getting smaller and smaller. What did he mean? It was really confusing!
