Just as Yu Shu was lost in thought, Mu Yan's eyes met hers.

At that moment, Yu Shu suddenly felt that the person in front of her was no longer the lady she was familiar with; the strange feeling made her shiver and feel cold all over.

When Mu Yan handed the empty bowl to Yu Shu, Yu Shu's hand trembled slightly, and she accidentally dropped the bowl to the ground.

"Ah." She screamed and squatted down to pick up the debris. "Miss, don't move. I'll clean it up right away..."

Mu Yan still maintained her original posture with an indifferent expression.

The atmosphere in the room became increasingly tense and depressing. While picking up the broken porcelain pieces, Yu Shu accidentally cut her hand and gasped in pain.

"Hiss..." The pain made her frown.

At this moment, Mu Yan looked at the little maid in front of her coldly, her eyes became even colder. She quietly took out a white jade bottle from her sleeve.

"Yu Shu."

"Miss, what do you want me to do?" Yu Shu looked up and responded.

Mu Yan held the half-exposed bottle in her hand, and an unsettling light flashed in her eyes.

Even if she dressed up as Ye Yunzi and pretended to have lost her memory, some deep-rooted habits were difficult to change.

As Ye Yunzi's personal maid for many years, Yu Shu naturally noticed that something was wrong, so her eyes seemed evasive.

Mu Yan planned to take action before the problem became more serious.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. "Is the young lady awake?" a voice asked.

Yu Shu went to open the door and found two people standing outside. She said, "Miss, the young master is here to see you."

Mu Yan quickly hid the white jade bottle in her hand back into her sleeve, leaving no trace.

With the entry of Su Huan and Aliang, this was the first time Su Huan came to visit since Ye Yunzi returned to the mansion.

When he saw Mu Yan's face wrapped in layers of gauze with only her eyes exposed, he was stunned for a moment, then frowned.

"Are you Ye Yunzi?" he asked.

Mu Yan did not answer, but just looked up at him quietly.

Yu Shu explained, "The young lady fell off a cliff, hit her head and lost her memory..." As she spoke, tears began to fall.

Su Huan stood there and looked at Mu Yan. After a moment, he said lightly: "Have a good rest. I will come to see you again in a few days." After that, he turned and left.

As soon as he left the room, Su Huan's face turned grim, and he whispered, "Keep a close eye on that woman."

Ah Liang was surprised by Su Huan's serious expression. She exclaimed, "Sir, how could this not be the young lady? Even if her face is wrapped in gauze, you wouldn't mistake her for someone else."

"Her eyes are not Ye Yunzi's." Su Huan asserted. He had already discovered something strange.

"Send more people to search. Ye Yunzi must still be somewhere at the foot of the mountain. She is not dead."

"Yes, sir." Aliang immediately followed the order, but he was still confused, "Then the one in the room..."

"Don't act rashly. Observe her actions. If she poses a threat to the Su family, get rid of her immediately." There was no warmth in Su Huan's voice, which showed his determination.

Aliang nodded silently, with a plan in mind.

In the Fourth Prince's mansion, a snow-white carrier pigeon flew to the window, cooing, bringing news from afar.

In the hall, Baili Ye listened to his subordinates' reports, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "It's just as I expected."

He originally thought that he would feel a little regretful for losing Mu Yan as a chess piece, but he did not expect that the situation would develop in an unexpected way, giving him a big surprise.

"Sir, what should we do next?" asked an attendant.

"Get rid of her." Baili Ye ordered without hesitation.

"Yes, sir." The man in black prepared to leave to carry out the mission.

"Wait." Baili Ye suddenly stopped him, his eyes flickering, "Bring her here."

On that day, a shabby carriage slowly drove into the capital.

There was a woman sitting in the car, half of her face covered by a veil, revealing only a pair of clear, lively eyes and a small patch of snow-white skin.

Unfortunately, there was a dark red scar on her forehead, ruining her originally perfect face.

"Miss, we're almost there." A cold voice came from the side.

The woman nervously withdrew her hand and sat up straight.

The carriage finally stopped at the back door of the Fourth Prince's mansion. The woman got off the carriage and was led into the mansion.

The backyard of the mansion was empty and cold, and the winter chill made it seem particularly desolate.

The woman looked around curiously, having no idea where she was.

Until she was taken to the hall.

Seeing the stern man sitting on the armchair, she frowned slightly, feeling familiar: "Who are you?"

Baili Ye stared at the woman in front of him, his eyes full of suspicion. He stood up, walked towards her, and pulled off her veil.

The veil fell gently to the ground, revealing the woman's pretty face. Except for the scar on her forehead, there were no other flaws on her face.

"Ye Yunzi." Baili Ye blurted out.

The woman looked at him blankly and asked softly, "Ye Yunzi? This name sounds so familiar... Is this my name? Do you know who I am?"

Baili Ye turned to his subordinate, who immediately explained, "The young lady fell off a cliff and hit her head. She was then washed away by the river for three miles. Later, a mountain villager rescued her."

Baili Ye turned around and looked at Ye Yunzi coldly.

"Have you lost your memory?"

He sneered, suddenly reached out and grabbed her throat tightly.

Ye Yunzi's face gradually turned red. She tightly grasped Baili Ye's wrist, her eyes full of fear.

Suddenly, she coughed a few times and tears rolled down her cheeks.

Baili Ye looked at the woman in front of him, his heart was calm. He thought that Ye Yunzi's misfortune was only because she was born at the wrong time, and the Su family no longer needed another young lady.

However, when a tear fell on the back of his hand, his movements stopped involuntarily. Loosening his tightly clenched hands, Baili Ye looked at the woman in front of him who was crying like rain with a complicated look.

"Cough cough..." Ye Yunzi continued coughing, with a look of deep grievance on her face.

"Have you really forgotten who you are?" Baili Ye asked.

Ye Yunzi raised her head and looked at him with her bright and slightly fearful eyes.

The attendants standing by were very surprised because they had never seen this always decisive adult change his mind midway.

At this time, a subordinate came in and reported: "Sir, Mu Yan sent a letter."

Baili Ye took the letter, glanced at it quickly, and then threw it into the candlelight.

"My Lord, what shall we do with her?"

After a moment of silence, Baili Ye frowned slightly, looked at the weak woman and said, "Stay for now."

Although they had doubts, the subordinates still obeyed the order.

Ye Yunzi rubbed her neck, her eyes filled with fear and a hint of familiarity. She couldn't help but look again at the man who almost took her life.
