In the distance, Shen Siyan frowned slightly when he saw this.

The three of them picked up a basket full of fruit and rode back to the camp.

After returning to the camp, they each went their separate ways. Baili Yue stared at Su Huan, feeling upset at the thought that she might never see him again.

"Your Highness, we will take our leave now."

Su Huan spoke in a flat tone, put the basket on his back and turned to leave. Ye Yunzi also bowed slightly and followed him.

Baili Yue picked up the fruit from the basket, wiped it with his sleeve, and took a bite. The fruit was sweet and sour, and juicy... It was much more delicious than the fruits tributed from other places.

She ate and thought, her eyes flickering.

Suddenly she remembered something and waved her hand, "Give half to Fourth Brother."

"Yes." The servants responded.

……

Ye Yunzi brought the fruits back and divided them into several baskets. She gave some to her mother first, and then had some delivered to the Ning family and the seventh prince's tent respectively.

They sent barbecue a few days ago, so she should return the favor.

Shen Siyan couldn't help but smile when he received the fruit. He gently stroked the edge of the basket, looking energetic.

On the other side, Baili Yan received the fruit and lowered his eyes slightly, hiding the emotions in his eyes, "Ye Yunzi, you are indeed extraordinary."

The hunting competition ended safely.

The major families packed their bags and prepared to return to the city.

Ye Yunzi sat in the carriage, finally lifted the curtain and looked at the dense forest. Memories of the past few days emerged one by one, the archery competition, the bright starry sky at night, and various experiences.

Finally, she lowered her eyes and let down the curtains.

Good times are always short-lived. When she returns to the capital, a more complicated situation awaits her. The most important thing now is to cure her mother of the poison. As for the Lin Mansion...

She secretly clenched her fists. The Lin family was ruthless and ungrateful, so she didn't need to care about their old friendship.

Lin House.

Everyone returned home one after another. Ye Chongde paced back and forth in the hall, thinking for a long time.

Recently, Ye Yunzi has become more and more radiant, attracting a lot of attention, and even forged a friendship with the Thirteenth Princess. She was originally inconspicuous, but now she is becoming more and more important.

Ye Chongde thought about it again and again and felt that he should control her well.

Many events happened in the past few days, which led to tensions between him and Zijinyuan. Now it seems that it is time to have a good talk with the eldest lady.

Ye Chongde thought about it and immediately went to Zijinyuan.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the gate of Zijin Courtyard, he was stopped by a servant maid.

"Why are you stopping me?" Ye Chongde shook his sleeves. He was the master of the Lin Mansion, and there was no place he couldn't go. But now he was stopped by a nanny.

The nanny looked calm and said slowly, "Madam has come back from a long journey and is tired. She has asked to rest quietly and does not want to be disturbed."

Ye Chongde was frustrated and had a lot on his mind.

He originally wanted to ease the relationship with Su, but he didn't expect Su to be so cold and indifferent that she didn't even want to see him.

Finally, he snorted coldly, swung his sleeves and left angrily.

"Madam, I have sent the master away." Madam Zhao reported.

Su leaned back in the chair, her face was calm but slightly pale, but she didn't look tired. It was obvious that her previous words were just perfunctory to Ye Chongde. She had made up her mind, no matter what Ye Chongde intended, she would no longer pay attention.

Madam Zhao hesitated for a moment and said worriedly, "Madam, you have been avoiding the master. What if he is determined to do something bad to Zijin Courtyard..."

"He dares!" Su became excited and coughed twice.

Nanny Zhao hurried forward and gently stroked her back to help her calm down.

After a long while, Su continued, "There will always be a way to leave this place in the future. I know my health is getting worse and worse, and I don't have much time left, but I can't let go of Yunzi..."

"Madam, everything will be fine." Madam Zhao's eyes were full of pity. She watched Su grow up and treated her almost as her own daughter, but she had to watch her body deteriorate day by day.

The door of the room was open, and one could just see the wisteria flowers in the yard. Su stared at them in a daze, and it seemed as if her mood had calmed down a lot.

A figure hurriedly passed by in the yard.

Nanny Zhao took a closer look and recognized him as Zhang Shan, a servant from the outer courtyard.

Recently, Zhang Shan often came to Zijin Courtyard to report to the young lady because he was helping her. Therefore, Madam Zhao often saw him. He was diligent and helpful, which left a good impression on everyone.

Nanny Zhao lowered her eyes, thinking about something in her mind.

Su saw that Aunt Zhao was worried and asked with concern, "Aunt Zhao, what's the matter?"

Madam Zhao smiled and said, "It's nothing serious... I have a daughter named Qiu'er. She is old enough to get married."

"Qiu'er..." Su thought about it and did remember such a person. Zhao Ma had been lonely all her life and never married. She had always been by her side, but on a winter night, she picked up a child, named Qiu'er, and adopted her as her daughter.

"She is already seventeen years old. It's time to consider marriage." Su nodded in agreement.

Madam Zhao smiled awkwardly. She had been looking for a suitable partner for Qiu'er in the past two years, someone who was honest, reliable, and kind to her. But it was not easy to find such a person, and it had been delayed until now.

"Madam, does Zhang Shan... have a wife?"

"Probably not."

Su immediately understood what Madam Zhao was thinking. Zhang Shan was indeed a good candidate, otherwise Ye Yunzi would not have kept him by her side and entrusted him with such an important task. "Call Zhang Shan to have a chat some other day. If he is interested, you can help them get together."

"Thank you, ma'am. Thank you, ma'am!" Nanny Zhao was full of gratitude.

……

The conversation in Su's room quietly reached Ye Yunzi's ears.

"Madame Zhao's daughter..."

Marriages between servants are common, and they are familiar with each other and can easily develop feelings. She observed Zhang Shan and found that he was a capable person, efficient, conscientious and responsible. After returning to the Su Mansion, she arranged him to be by Su Huan's side, and he would definitely achieve something.

Zhao Ma Ma served the Su family all her life, and was kind and loyal. It was a happy marriage for Qiu Er and Zhang Shan.

"Let's talk to Zhang Shan about this some other day." Ye Yunzi said.

But she couldn't remember who Qiu'er was for a moment. Her memory was vague and she couldn't remember clearly.

"Yushu, do you know which courtyard Qiu'er works in?" No one has ever heard of anyone named Qiu'er in Zijin Courtyard. Nanny Zhao works in Zijin Courtyard, so Qiu'er should be in Zijin Courtyard.

Yu Shu was grinding on the side, thinking for a moment, and then answered, "Miss, Qiu'er works at Yixuanyuan."

"Yixuanyuan?"

Yixuanyuan is her father's residence, how could she work there?

Yu Shu continued, "A few days ago, Madam Zhao wanted to transfer Qiu'er to Zijin Courtyard, but Qiu'er didn't want to. She said she was used to working in Yixuan Courtyard, so she didn't transfer."

After hearing this, Ye Yunzi always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure it out.

She put down her brush and said, "Call Qiu'er over. I want to see her."

"Yes."

Not long after, Yu Shu brought in a pretty woman.
