At this moment, Ye Yunzi pushed the door open and walked in, "Mom!"

"Miss..." When Nanny Zhao saw that it was Ye Yunzi, she immediately smiled.

These days, the young lady comes to visit often, and with her around, the lady's mood has improved a lot.

"Yunzi, why are you here? You should listen to your father, read more books, and recite more poems. Only in this way can you be full of poetry and books and have a refined temperament." Although Mrs. Su said this, she could not hide the joy in her eyes. Her heart was sweeter than anything else when her daughter came to see her.

Ye Yunzi waved her hand, signaling Yu Shu to put down the stew pot in her hand.

"These are freshly picked spring bamboo shoots. I asked the kitchen to make some soup for you to taste."

When the stew pot was opened, the spring bamboo shoots were fresh and tender, white with green, and they were the best seasonal fresh. Mrs. Su picked up a piece and praised it after tasting it, "It tastes really good."

"Send a bowl to Dad too..." Mrs. Su said, but she felt it was redundant. Over the years, she always wanted to save a portion for Ye Chongde, but he didn't appreciate it and often had him throw it away.

When a person's heart is rejected, no matter how much he does, it will be in vain.

Madam Su was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and shook her head, "Forget it, he may not be willing to drink it even if you send it to him, so don't waste your energy..."

Ye Yunzi felt heartbroken when she saw her mother's sad face.

She lowered her eyes, sadness and hatred flashed across them, then she suppressed her emotions, raised her head and said, "Mom, there is something else I want to tell you."

"what's up?"

"My uncle will arrive in the capital the day after tomorrow. Let's go to the city gate to welcome him." Ye Yunzi smiled. This was the news she had just received today. The Su family sent someone to deliver a letter to inform her.

Mrs. Su was stunned, her eyes full of disbelief.

"Are you really...really coming?"

My brother has been away from Beijing for many years, and it has been more than ten years since we last met...

"Really." Ye Yunzi nodded and held Madam Su's hand tightly. "Mom, now that my uncle is here, no one can bully us anymore." Although her voice was soft, every word was of great significance.

Su Yongyu is coming back.

With Su Yongyu's joining, the Ye family will definitely be able to avoid the disasters of the previous life.

Mrs. Su's body was trembling slightly, her hands were cold, and she was so excited that she didn't know how to express herself. "Brother, he is really coming back. I thought I would never see him again in this life."

"Mom, you have to rest well these two days and don't let uncle worry."

"Yes, that's right!"

Perhaps it was because of the news that Su Yongyu was about to arrive that Mrs. Su was in a very good mood. She actually drank half a bowl of bamboo shoot soup brought by Ye Yunzi in one breath.

The pear blossoms in the capital are in full bloom, complementing the fading plum blossoms, as if covering the spring with a layer of white gauze.

The pear trees in the courtyard are lush and leafy. Looking from the window of the restaurant, the scenery is unique, peaceful and elegant, with the fragrance of flowers accompanied by the aroma of wine, full of the mood of literati and poets.

In a private room of the restaurant, two handsome men sat opposite each other. Shen Siyan poured himself a drink, and the rich aroma of wine filled the air. He drank alone, completely ignoring the person sitting opposite him.

Seeing this, the other party couldn't help but laugh.

It turned out that the man was the fourth prince Baili Ye. As a prince, he actually showed up in the capital and drank with the young master of the Shen family.

"Why are you in such a hurry to drink? Are you afraid that I will snatch it from you?" Baili Ye was a little surprised.

"Don't worry, I just suddenly want to drink..."

Shen Siyan filled another glass, stared at the wine, and whispered to himself: "Even if I drink ten jars, you can easily pay the bill. After all, you are the honorable Fourth Prince... right?"

Although his words were light, his lowered eyes were deep and cold, hiding some complicated emotions and resentment.

Once the Fourth Prince gains power, he will be the first person to be eliminated...

Shen Siyan secretly clenched the wine glass, his knuckles turned white from excessive force, and he almost crushed the glass.

Baili Ye did not notice anything unusual about Shen Siyan. He smiled and shook his head, "You are my best friend. As long as you stand by me, I can give you everything you want." He said this sincerely. If he had not experienced the cruelty of his previous life, he might have really believed his mask.

This seemingly kind and benevolent man, actually severed friendships with his own hands and massacred the entire Su family. Even more families that did not please him were destroyed in that catastrophe.

Shen Siyan raised his head and drank another glass of wine.

Baili Ye also raised his glass and drank with him.

"You have been back to Beijing for a few months. What do you think of the current situation in the court?" Baili Ye asked seemingly casually, but in fact he was testing Shen Siyan's thoughts.

Shen Siyan, who has lived two lives and is as scheming as a demon, naturally understands Baili Ye's intentions.

Shen Siyan smiled and said, "I haven't been back for a few years. The capital has changed a lot. The old courtyard I used to go to is gone. It has become the residence of the Ye family. Even some of my friends have changed so much that I can't recognize them."

Shen Siyan raised his head and looked at Baili Ye with deep eyes.

Baili Ye was stunned, feeling that Shen Siyan's words were full of hidden meanings, and that look made him feel uneasy. He forced a smile, hiding all his emotions, and said calmly: "We used to go to that old yard to shoot arrows... But three years ago, the emperor gave it to Mr. Ye."

"However, if you really like it, it is not impossible to ask the emperor for it."

Shen Siyan was favored by the emperor and was rewarded constantly. The emperor appreciated his wisdom and regarded him as a potential stock. He specially sent him to Youzhou to learn strategies from the old general. When he returned after completing his studies, he also promised him a position in the court.

All he had to do was mention what he wanted, and the emperor would arrange it.

Even the princes envied this kind of favor.

If the Shen family was not doing well and his parents were not still alive, people would probably guess that he was a dragon seed that was stranded outside.

Shen Siyan smiled and said, "How dare I trouble the old man? Old Master Ye is already over 60 years old. If we move again, I'm afraid it will be exhausting for him."

"Ha ha……"

The two men smiled without saying anything, each with their own plans in mind.

Baili Ye refilled the glass of wine and also filled it for Shen Siyan. "Come to think of it, you went to the Marquis' Mansion a few days ago. You weren't interested in these things before. Why, have you changed your personality?"

"I was bored that day, so I just wandered over there."

"I remember that my seventh brother was there too, and he gave a jade pendant to a woman. Who was that woman to win my seventh brother's favor..."

Baili Ye seemed to be asking casually, but actually he wanted to explore the relationship between Shen Siyan and that prince. He was curious about Shen Siyan's interactions with other princes.

Could it be that Baili Yan also wants to win me over?

Shen Siyan didn't respond. The shadow of Ye Yunzi appeared in his mind, and his eyes softened unconsciously.

"Oh, forget it, the day of selecting a concubine is approaching, and I won't be able to decide for myself then."

If the woman has no power and influence and is of no help in the fight for the throne, then no matter how much one likes her, she can only be a concubine.

The two chatted casually, and Shen Siyan cleverly avoided Baili Ye's attempts to win him over, and handled the situation with ease.

At this moment, in the Ye Mansion...

At the gate of the Ye Mansion, an ornately decorated carriage was waiting to take Su out. This was a rare outing for her, and she only wanted to go to the city gate to personally greet Su Yongyu, whom she had not seen for a long time.
