Time flies. After more than ten years away from the capital, her brother's dusty journey home made Mrs. Ye's longing for him surge like a tide.

"Let's go!" The maid shouted crisply, and the carriage started slowly.

Mrs. Ye and Ye Yunzi were sitting in the same car. Her eyes were shining with long-lost joy and anticipation, a kind of relief like a long drought finally being rewarded with a downpour.

The carriage stopped steadily at the foot of the city gate. Ye Yunzi gently lifted the curtain and looked into the distance. It was still quiet outside the city gate, and it was obvious that no one had arrived yet.

After a quarter of an hour of waiting, the city gate opened with a bang, and a luxurious rosewood carved carriage slowly drove in. The servants accompanying them looked ordinary, but each of them had sharp eyes and their manners revealed a well-trained coldness.

"Uncle is here!" Ye Yunzi called out softly.

Mrs. Ye could not wait to lift the curtain and get out of the car, her eyes fixed on the slowly approaching carriage, with mixed feelings in her heart.

The carriage stopped and a handsome man stepped down. Time had endowed him with fortitude and composure. He had some similarities with Madam Ye in his features, except that she was gentle as water, while he was handsome as a mountain.

"Brother!" Mrs. Ye called out blankly.

The man was also stunned. He looked at Mrs. Ye carefully, then strode forward and hugged her tightly.

"Feng Yu, Feng Yu..."

Facing the familiar face, Mrs. Ye's eyes became red and tears almost burst out.

"I haven't seen you for many years, and you are still as beautiful as ever. How dare the Ye family treat you like this? They proposed to marry you in the beginning, but now they ignore you and favor their concubine over your wife!" Su Yongyu was furious when he thought of what was said in the letter.

He suppressed his anger and decided to slowly settle these accounts.

Madam Ye gently pushed Su Yongyu away, wiped away her tears, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry to make you laugh, brother. I haven't seen you for many years. I thought you would never come back to the capital."

"By the way, Yunzi, come and meet your uncle!" Mrs. Ye greeted hurriedly.

Ye Yunzi stepped forward and looked at Su Yongyu curiously. This was her uncle whom she had never met. In her previous life, she had already lost sight of this world before her uncle came to the capital.

"Are you Yunzi?" Su Yongyu looked carefully at the girl in front of him. Although she was still young and not yet of marriageable age, it could be seen from the neat and clear handwriting in the letter.

This must be a diligent and thoughtful child. The letter is so logically rigorous that it is hard to believe it was written by a teenage girl.

"Uncle." Ye Yunzi smiled gently and politely.

Su Yongyu nodded slightly, his eyes telling a lot of stories. Then he turned around, waved his hand, and called out, "Huan'er, come here."

Huan Er? Who is this?

Ye Yunzi and Madam Ye looked into the carriage at the same time and found that in addition to Su Yongyu, there was also a tall man inside.

His hair was tied up casually, and his skin was even whiter than that of the ladies in the capital. The most eye-catching thing was his pair of deep purple eyes, which were as dazzling as the most precious gems in the world.

He has a clean-cut look and a gentle expression on his face, and just standing there motionless is enough to inspire admiration.

Ye Yunzi has seen countless men, and Shen Yuming and Shen Siyan are both among the most handsome men, but this man is so handsome that he seems to be out of this world, as if everything around him is incompatible with him. Only the cold and aloof Fairy Palace is worthy of his style.

"Who is this..." Mrs. Ye came back to her senses and asked curiously.

"My son, Su Huan." Su Yongyu introduced briefly.

Su Huan walked forward and respectfully called her aunt.

Mrs. Ye was a little surprised when she heard this: "Brother, you got married in Kaifeng? Why didn't you tell us..."

"I'm not married yet." Su Yongyu shook his head and denied it. "I picked up this little guy on the street and raised him myself."

"So that's how it is..." Mrs. Ye murmured to herself, and there was a bit more heartache when she looked at Su Huan. He was abandoned by his parents at a very young age and had a miserable fate.

Su Huan turned his gaze to Ye Yunzi, and their eyes met.

Until this moment, Ye Yunzi's body was unconsciously tense because of those familiar deep purple eyes. That flawless face, those unique eyes, one glance is unforgettable. But... where had she seen him before?

Ye Yunzi couldn't help but feel a chill, and she couldn't even explain why. She felt an inexplicable uneasiness in her heart.

"Based on birthdays, Yunzi is two months older than you. You should call her cousin." Madam Ye said with a pleasant expression, "Yunzi, you should take better care of your brother in the future."

"Of course." Ye Yunzi nodded in response, forcing a smile.

"Oh, look at my poor memory. Let's hurry back to the Su Mansion. Father must be waiting anxiously!" Madam Ye just finished speaking and suddenly frowned, "Oh no, I forgot to prepare the braised food from West Street. I remember that my brother likes it the most."

Because Su Yongyu came from far away, she was so happy that she forgot about this.

Ye Yunzi immediately suggested: "I'll go buy it. Mother and uncle go back first, and I'll be there soon."

"Okay, that's it." Mrs. Ye nodded in agreement.

Su Huan seemed to have overheard the conversation between the two inadvertently, and then suggested: "Why don't I accompany my cousin? I'm also curious about the scenery of the capital." His smile was warm, like a spring breeze, which made people feel good when they saw it.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Ye agreed without hesitation.

"Then it's settled. Yunzi, you can take Huan'er to see the capital city."

……

The carriage team drove slowly and arrived at the market. Ye Yunzi and Su Huan got off the carriage side by side.

Because the two were not familiar with each other, the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while and silence filled the air.

Su Huan looked up at the capital city, his deep purple eyes flashing with a deep light. He stared at the bustling streets, as if thinking about something.

After a while of strolling, Ye Yunzi broke the silence: "Is this your first time in Beijing?"

"Yes, I have always lived in Kaifeng. It is like two completely different worlds there and here." Su Huan replied, his eyes sweeping across the bustling scene around him.

His appearance was too outstanding, especially his deep purple eyes. Even if he wanted to be low-key, it was hard not to attract attention. Passersby on the street cast curious glances at him.

"What do you think of the capital?" Su Huan turned his head and looked at Ye Yunzi.

Ye Yunzi was stunned for a moment, then looked into the distance and said slowly: "The capital is prosperous and bustling, with a vast territory and all kinds of rare treasures, but..."

Her eyes suddenly dimmed.

This is also a place that devours people's hearts without leaving any trace.

Ye Yunzi swallowed the words and didn't continue. Su Huan looked at her in confusion: "But what?"

Ye Yunzi shook her head gently. "It's no big deal. This is indeed a good place. If you want to have a good tour, I'll accompany you another day. Now we have to hurry back to the Ye Mansion."

She smiled a gentle smile, which was not often seen on her face.

Su Huan looked at Ye Yunzi. She exuded a tranquil temperament. Unlike ordinary young women, there was a gleam of wisdom in her deep eyes.
