Not long after, the spy from the Marquis' Mansion returned the package to Su.

Su took the package and was very grateful. If it weren't for the help of this kind person, the package would probably have been lost.

The spy remained expressionless and refused to accept any thanks.

"How can this be..." Su felt uneasy. She thought that if she accepted the help from others, she should give back. She decided to give some gifts to express her gratitude.

Ye Yunzi's eyes lingered on the spy's face, as if she had seen him somewhere before. She tried hard to recall, and finally remembered that she could see this person from a distance every time she went out on the street.

She suddenly had an idea and said, "Take me to see your master, we will thank him in person."

The spy was stunned for a moment. Could it be that his identity had been discovered?

After a brief hesitation, he nodded in agreement.

"Madam, Miss Ye, please follow me."

The spy took Su and Ye Yunzi to the teahouse. When Lord Ji, who was in the private room on the second floor, saw this scene, he couldn't help but become nervous and subconsciously straightened his clothes.

"Yuan Feng, do you think there's anything wrong with me doing this?"

Yuan Feng tried to hold back his laughter. Whenever the Marquis mentioned matters concerning the Su Mansion, he would always become a little nervous.

“There’s nothing wrong with that.”

"Really?" Lord Ji was still a little worried.

Yuan Feng nodded to confirm: "Really not."

There was a knock on the door, and Yuan Feng said, "Madam and Miss Ye are here. I'll go open the door."

Lord Ji immediately collected his thoughts and calmly sat back in his chair, but his heart was surging and his hands clenched into fists involuntarily.

Yuan Feng walked to the door and nodded gently to greet the two guests.

Ye Yunzi recognized Yuan Feng at a glance, and she knew in her heart that the person who had been secretly protecting her mother was Lord Ji. She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a smile.

"Mom, wouldn't it be impolite for us to go in directly like this? Should we prepare some gifts to express our gratitude?" Su asked worriedly.

Ye Yunzi smiled and comforted her mother, helping her into the house.

As soon as they entered the room, they saw Lord Ji sitting at the tea table. Su was stunned, looking at Lord Ji, and was speechless for a while.

Lord Ji's eyes were fixed on Su, carefully examining this long-lost beauty. He found that she seemed thinner than before.

"Lord Ji..." Su finally came back to her senses, suppressed her inner turmoil, and bowed to Lord Ji.

Ye Yunzi also bowed politely and said with a smile: "Thank you, Lord Ji, for your care for us mother and daughter."

Lord Ji couldn't help but blush when he was thanked in person.

"Take care of you?" Su looked at her daughter in confusion. She didn't know that someone was protecting her in secret, but she did feel that someone was following her in secret recently.

"Mom, please sit down and have a cup of tea." Ye Yunzi said gently.

"Well... okay." Su responded and sat down with her daughter.

The room fell silent for a moment. None of the three spoke. Su and Lord Ji both looked down at their teacups, as if they didn't even have the courage to look up.

Ye Yunzi sighed in her heart. If these two people continued to be so shy, they might really miss each other.

Thinking that Lord Ji was willing to secretly send someone to protect her mother, she felt that this showed that he still had her mother in his heart.

It would be a pity if the regret of not being able to hold hands when they were young continued. Ye Yunzi decided to take action.

"Lord Ji, I wonder if you have prepared some refreshments?" she asked tentatively.

"Teas? Of course." Lord Ji responded, and then signaled Yuan Feng to bring out the snacks.

These snacks have the unique flavor of Jiangnan, and Su likes every one of them.

When Su saw this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She remembered that the pastries her daughter brought a few days ago tasted very similar to those in Jiangnan. She ate a few more pieces at that time, but she didn't expect that Lord Ji actually remembered it.

I didn’t expect that those osmanthus cakes were specially prepared by Lord Ji.

"I remember you liked sweet-scented osmanthus cakes," said Lord Ji. "Do you remember? One time you secretly ran out and ate two large plates. You ate so much that you felt so bad that you kept crying."

The memories were awakened, Su blushed, and her fingers unconsciously rubbed the handkerchief.

"That happened a long time ago. I didn't expect Lord Ji to still remember it."

"How could I forget..." Lord Ji's voice was gentle and affectionate.

Su's heart trembled slightly, but she quickly calmed down: "Master Ji, let the past be the past. Forgetting is also a kind of relief."

Lord Ji was silent and lowered his head. Ye Yunzi beside him sighed softly. It seemed that her mother had decided not to open her heart anymore.

"Mom, we should cherish the good memories. If we are old and all we can recall are sad things, how regrettable it would be."

"You girl..." Su glared at her, but had no intention of blaming her.

Ye Yunzi pretended not to see her mother's eyes and continued to act as her matchmaker.

Lord Ji's heart moved, and he looked at Ye Yunzi, as if he heard something from her words. Could it be that the little girl was really helping them to get together? Or was his imagination too rich?

Ye Yunzi noticed Lord Ji's gaze, and boldly met his gaze, winking mischievously.

Seeing Ye Yunzi like this, Lord Ji felt a little encouraged and confirmed his guess. The little girl was indeed helping them!

"Xiaoqing, come and try this osmanthus cake. Does it taste the same as it did back then?" Lord Ji couldn't help but call out Su's name.

Su was stunned for a moment, her heartbeat quickened, and her handkerchief was held tighter, but she pretended not to hear.

Seeing this, Ye Yunzi raised the corners of her mouth and revealed a sly smile.

"Mother, Lord Ji is so thoughtful, just try a piece."

The three of them were chatting, and Ye Yunzi secretly tried to create opportunities for them, but Su always kept his distance and did not let go completely.

If her mother is unwilling to open up, no matter how hard she tries, it will be useless. After tea, the two said goodbye and left.

On the way home, Su seemed to be worried and spoke much less.

Ye Yunzi lifted the curtain of the carriage out of boredom and looked out. Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure. Her eyes lit up and she immediately told the driver to stop.

"Mom, you go back first, I'll be back soon."

"What's wrong?" Su was curious and followed her daughter's gaze, and understood something. "Okay, but don't be too late."

"Got it." Ye Yunzi's face flushed slightly, knowing that her thoughts had been seen through.

The carriage stopped by the roadside and she got out and walked towards the shop.

Shen Siyan stood quietly under the eaves and stretched out his hand. Ye Yunzi blushed slightly and gently placed her hand in his palm. The two interlocked their fingers, feeling each other's warmth.

"What a coincidence," Ye Yunzi said softly.

"I came here specially to see you."

Shen Siyan said gently, holding her hand and walking slowly forward. Ye Yunzi's face turned even redder. They had not officially become husband and wife yet, but they were already walking side by side on the street so intimately, which made her a little shy and even wanted to find a place to hide.
