Ever since she and Master Ye divorced, Ye Yunzi had been enduring countless gossips along with her.

What would everyone say if she got married again?

What impact will it have on her daughter? Her only wish in this life is that Yunzi can be safe and happy.

"Mom..." Ye Yunzi felt very distressed. Her mother had worked hard all her life and always gave up her own happiness for her. She decided that no matter what the outside world said, she would let her mother find happiness again.

The next morning, a knock on the door broke the tranquility of the Su Mansion.

The servant went to open the door and saw a boy standing outside with a bamboo basket. "Excuse me, who are you looking for?"

"I'm here to bring some cakes to the young lady," the servant replied.

"Send cakes?" The servant raised his eyebrows in confusion. He had never heard that the eldest lady had ordered any cakes.

The news quickly reached Ye Yunzi, "Pastry?"

She was a little surprised, but then she suddenly realized what was going on and asked someone to let the boy in.

The clever servant walked into the hall carrying a bamboo basket, "I meet Miss Ye!"

Ye Yunzi's eyes fell on the familiar bamboo basket and she immediately understood everything.

When the servant opened the basket, which was filled with exquisite and delicious pastries, the aroma filled the air.

"I remember that the pastry shop on West Street doesn't sell this kind of pastry!" Ye Yunzi asked with a smile: "Where did you buy these from?"

"This..." The servant's eyes flickered. The marquis only asked him to deliver cakes, but didn't say what to say.

"Looking at the craftsmanship of this pastry, it should be a traditional snack from Jiangnan. Lord Ji is really thoughtful."

"That's right, it was made by the chef that the Marquis specially invited from Jiangnan!" The servant blurted out, then realized that he had said something wrong, and stared at Miss Su with wide eyes.

Miss Ye had a smile on her face, but her mind was as clear as a mirror and she knew everything.

The servant felt a chill on his back and quickly put down the bamboo basket: "The pastries have been delivered, I will go back now." After saying this, he left in a hurry.

Ye Yunzi waved her hand and asked Yu Shu to take the pastries to her mother.

After breakfast, Su was busy doing needlework. At this time, Aunt Zhao came in and put down several plates of various cakes: "Madam, this is a gift from Miss. Please try it."

Su stopped sewing, and a familiar sweet smell brought back memories.

She walked over to the pastry, picked up a piece and tasted it.

"Mom, how does it taste?" Ye Yunzi came in at some point and sat next to her mother.

Su smiled, a hint of nostalgia in her eyes: "It's great, just like what I ate in Jiangnan back then, the taste is exactly the same."

"It is exactly the same." Nanny Zhao nodded in agreement.

"At that time, my mother was greedy and always pestered Zhao Ma to buy it. I didn't expect that after so many years, I could still eat such delicious food in the capital."

"I remember that this plum blossom pastry is what Madam loves the most."

The atmosphere in the room was warm and Su smiled for the first time.

Ye Yunzi thought that Lord Ji even remembered her mother's favorite cakes and specially invited a chef from Jiangnan. This kind of thought was truly rare.

She secretly made up her mind that people like Lord Ji were rare and must not be missed.

In the afternoon, Leng Xue brought the news, and Ye Yunzi immediately went to Shencaotang.

"Have you found out?" Ye Yunzi took off her cloak and put it aside. There were two braziers burning warmly in the room. Obviously, Shen Siyan knew that she was afraid of the cold and made preparations in advance.

"There are some clues, but why do you want to investigate Lord Ji?" Shen Siyan asked with a raised eyebrow.

"This is very important."

Ye Yunzi looked serious.

"Oh?" Shen Siyan's tone was full of curiosity. He had never seen Ye Yunzi care so much about someone. She even sent someone to deliver a message at night to ask for information.

This made him feel a little unhappy.

Ye Yunzi has always had a knot in her heart. She always feels that there is something else behind the attack on Lord Ji.

For the sake of her mother's future, she was determined to get to the bottom of the matter, so she entrusted Shen Siyan to help investigate.

However, Shen Siyan misunderstood her intentions.

Although Lord Ji was disabled due to injuries and needed to rely on a wheelchair for the rest of his life, his charm still attracted many women, and there was an endless stream of people who wanted to marry him.

Ye Yunzi looked at Shen Siyan expectantly, waiting for him to speak.

Shen Siyan pursed his lips slightly, and when he looked into Ye Yunzi's bright eyes, all the dissatisfaction in his heart disappeared immediately. He said calmly: "It is indeed a bit strange that Lord Ji was attacked. This does not look like the work of bandits."

"Not a bandit?" Ye Yunzi asked doubtfully.

"Those attackers were experienced and easily dealt with the four guards. Moreover, Lord Ji was a martial arts expert who once fought a national defense general to a draw. Those who could hurt him were definitely not ordinary people. What's even more strange is that they did not kill Lord Ji, but only crippled his legs." Shen Siyan explained.

Ye Yunzi frowned, "You mean, these people just want to make him disabled?"

Shen Siyan nodded slightly.

"What good will this do them?" Ye Yunzi didn't understand. Lord Ji was just an idle noble who had never been involved in the court. Logically, he shouldn't have many enemies.

"There is one more thing you may not know." Shen Siyan continued, "Lord Ji was once engaged to the daughter of the Prime Minister, but after a trip to Jiangnan, he became disabled, and the Prime Minister's Mansion cancelled the engagement."

This matter was not widely known because the Xiangfu deliberately concealed it. If this attack was really related to the engagement, it would be meaningful.

Ye Yunzi fell into deep thought, frowning. Shen Siyan looked at her and asked softly, "Can you tell me now? Why do you care so much about this?"

Ye Yunzi frankly told Shen Siyan all the plans she had made for her mother.

In that era when husbands were the most important thing to a woman, any idea of ​​a woman leaving her husband and remarrying would cause an uproar.

However, Shen Siyan did not show the slightest bit of surprise on his face after hearing this.

"Aren't you surprised?" Ye Yunzi looked at him curiously and asked.

"There's nothing to be surprised about." Shen Siyan answered calmly.

As long as Ye Yunzi didn't plan to marry Lord Ji, nothing else mattered to him.

He knew that as long as the idea came from Ye Yunzi, there must be a good reason.

And he will support her unreservedly.

Ye Yunzi felt a little uneasy, fearing that Shen Siyan would be dissatisfied with her.

But when she saw that there was no trace of contempt or blame in his calm eyes, the stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.

"Si Yan..." She gently hugged his waist and put her cheek on his chest, "Thank you for believing in me. I don't care what others think, I only care about what you think."

If Shen Siyan looked at her with a worldly perspective, it would break her heart.

At this moment, Shen Siyan's expression softened and he gently stroked her black and shiny hair.

"Tsk tsk!" A teasing voice came from outside the door.

Tao Qiming rushed in with an excited look on his face, and the scene in front of him made him feel very jealous.
