What kind of entanglement existed between these two people that left such a deep impression on her?

The two of them walked into Zhuangyuan Building and the waiter hurried to greet them. Before he could even smile, he was interrupted by Ye Yunzi throwing a heavy silver ingot.

"Which room is the Marquis in?" she asked in a low voice, her tone leaving no room for doubt.

Today's literary gathering is attended by many talented people, and the Marquis is among them, but people of his status often book private rooms in advance, requiring both privacy and respectability.

Others may not know, but Ye Yunzi knows it.

"This..." The waiter was extremely surprised. The confidentiality was done so well, how did the girl know about it?

"Don't worry, my source of information is special and no one else knows about it. As long as you arrange for us to stay in the private room next to the Marquis, the silver will be yours." Ye Yunzi said as she handed over another ingot of silver.

Xiao Er held the heavy silver in his hand, feeling both excited and uneasy. He had never seen such a thing before.

He subconsciously put the silver in his pocket, fearing that it would be seen by others. He was torn between his conscience and his desires, but finally he gritted his teeth and thought that the private room would be rented out sooner or later anyway, so he might as well do a favor.

After looking around, the waiter whispered, "My Lord is in the Plum Room of the Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum. I will arrange the Orchid Room for you two now!"

Soon, the waiter led them to the "Lan" room. The interior was elegantly decorated and filled with the fragrance of tea. From here, not only could they enjoy the fresh tea fragrance, but they could also take in the panoramic view of the hall. No wonder the Marquis chose this place.

There was a commotion outside the door.

"What did you say? It's already booked? We always specify the 'Lan' room every time we come!"

"Mr. Jiang, I'm so sorry. Because the private room for today's literary gathering has been booked long ago, if you don't mind, the Bamboo Room is currently vacant."

"No! I want the 'Lan' room!" the man insisted.

At this time, another voice interrupted, "Forget it, the Bamboo Room is not bad either, the view is almost the same, anywhere is good."

"Thanks to Mr. Shen's understanding."

……

Ye Yunzi's ears perked up, catching the conversation outside, she closed her eyes slightly, and laughed inwardly: If Shen Yuming knew that it was his pretentious and perfect behavior that made him miss the great opportunity to make friends with the Marquis, I wonder how upset he would be.

Thinking that she had indirectly ruined Shen Yuming's future, she felt relaxed and happy all over.

Just as she was enjoying herself, she suddenly realized that there was another pair of eyes staring at her in the private room. She couldn't help but cough twice in embarrassment and quickly changed the subject: "Come, have some tea, have some tea!"

It turned out that Su Huan had seen all her little actions just now.

Su Huan calmly poured two cups of tea, pushed one in front of her, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why do you suddenly want to come here to taste tea?" Especially since she even paid the waiter to help reserve a private room, there must be something behind this.

Ye Yunzi was speechless for a moment, feeling mixed emotions. How could she explain her sharp confrontation with Shen Yuming?

If she said that she was reborn just because she was harmed by Shen Yuming in her previous life, I'm afraid no one would believe it.

She hid this secret so deeply that even her mother didn't know.

She smiled lightly, picked up the teacup, and sniffed the elegant tea fragrance.

"I just... don't want to make someone happy."

Su Huan was so smart that he could guess her thoughts, so he stopped asking. Instead, he became more curious about the identity of the man in blue. What kind of grudge did he have with Ye Yunzi that made Ye Yunzi hold such a grudge in her heart?

……

The literary gathering began, with people reciting poems and writing couplets to show off their talents. Ye Yunzi had no interest in this and soon began to yawn.

Su Huan looked at the childishness that occasionally appeared under her cold appearance and couldn't help laughing. He walked to the railing and looked down at the building.

Talented men and beautiful women gathered together, and he glanced at them one by one. A hint of coldness flashed in his deep purple pupils, and the faint smile at the corner of his mouth quietly disappeared.

"The talented men of the capital!" There was no emotion in his voice, and it was unclear whether he was praising or criticizing, or whether he had some other deeper meaning.

Su Huan had his back to Ye Yunzi, so she naturally couldn't see his expression at the moment.

"Yes."

Ye Yunzi covered her mouth and yawned loudly again. While sipping her tea nonchalantly, she said, "Among those people, there are young masters from marquis families, and precious grandsons of civil officials and military generals... They will all become high-ranking officials in the future."

As she spoke, Ye Yunzi's eyelids began to twitch. She supported her chin with her hands, and the scene in front of her eyes gradually became blurred.

She vaguely saw Su Huan chatting with someone over there. Standing by the railing, he could just see the private room next to it. Was he talking to the Marquis?

Time passed quietly until Su Huan came over, gently held her shoulders, and whispered, "You look tired. Go back and rest early today."

"Yeah." Ye Yunzi responded and took a sip of the cold tea. Her mind cleared up a little. "Okay, let's go home."

As the two were about to leave the private room, the door of the adjacent plum blossom room opened and someone walked out.

Ye Yunzi saw Lord Xiao at a glance. Although he was over forty years old, he was still vigorous and exuded an extraordinary aura.

Lord Xiao's gaze also turned over and lingered on Su Huan for a moment.

"Young man, who are you?"

"I am Su Huan, the son of Su Yongyu from the Su family." Su Huan answered calmly.

"Su Huan..." Lord Xiao kept repeating the name, as if he wanted to remember it. He nodded and said, "You are very promising. Grandpa Su is very lucky to have such a good grandson."

Su Huan lowered his head slightly and did not respond.

After Lord Xiao left, Ye Yunzi turned to look at Su Huan. She was not mistaken in what she saw just now. The two of them did communicate something. But how could Su Huan talk to Lord Xiao when he just arrived in the capital?

Her eyes were full of curiosity.

Su Huan withdrew his gaze and said nothing more.

"I'll take you around the capital some other day. Today, I'll send you back to the Ye Mansion first!"

……

As the two of them walked downstairs, a pair of eyes not far away were fixed on them.

Shen Yuming frowned and stared at Su Huan's unfamiliar face.

Who is this person? Why is he walking with Ye Yunzi?

Seeing how close they are, they must be very familiar with each other, otherwise they wouldn't be walking side by side.

What made Shen Yuming's heart even more nervous was that... the person who just left from the plum blossom room seemed to be Lord Xiao of the Anbei Marquis' Mansion!

This news was like a surge of blood rushing to my head. The Marquis actually showed up at the literary gathering, and I had no idea. If I could have booked the Lanjian Room just now, it would be right next to the Marquis' private room!

Oh, what a missed opportunity, I feel so sad!

The next morning.

Ye Yunzi was enjoying breakfast with her mother Su, who mentioned that she had taken Su Huan to tour the capital yesterday.

"He went to the literary gathering yesterday. Don't worry, Mom. He's very smart and will get used to this place soon..."
