Each word entered Liu Qingxi’s ears clearly, leaving no room for negotiation.

She pondered for hours and finally mustered the courage to tell him, only to be met with indifference. In disbelief, she asked, "Do you like Ye Zhi that much? Don’t let the green leaves blind you and miss out on the magnificent peony flower."

She then struck a pose, swaying gracefully.

The meaning was obvious, not to miss her, the peony flower, because of Ye Zhi.

Shen Chen’s face was stern: "To me, Ah Zhi is like the snow lotus on Mount Tian, and I ask Miss Liu to respect herself. Just because the Crown Prince likes you doesn’t mean everyone in the world does. I’m sorry, I must take my leave now."

He was the first to step out of the hall and called out, "See the guest out."

Wearing a dark robe with cloud-patterned edges, his elegant figure walked away calmly.

The servant who had just given the report quickly appeared from the corner, gesturing to the girl in red attire, indicating "please."

Liu Qingxi’s eyes shot with intense hatred. Why was it like this? She had taken the initiative to be friendly, yet he always stood by Ye Zhi’s side. Why? Ye Zhi, huh? We’ll see.

With a cold snort, she flicked her sleeve and walked out of the Ye Mansion in the direction of the curved corridor.

After she had gone far.

The servant stood at the entrance of the Ye Mansion, sighing, "Why are so many people looking for Mr. Shen today? Strange."

After sighing, he didn’t linger long and went about his tasks, as quite a few courtyards were waiting for him to clean~

Ye Zhi ran out, sulking by herself, not heading to Bi Ying Courtyard to find Huanhuan, but wandering aimlessly on the streets, unsure of where to go.

The autumn air was crisp and refreshing, without the summer’s heat, making it unnecessary to carry an umbrella.

"It’s so boring, where should I go? If I go back to the Ye Mansion now, I might see the Little Traitor, and I don’t want to see him, nor do I want to find Huanhuan. Ah Tao is at home taking care of the child and can’t accompany me, sigh."

A little girl stood under a cool roof eave, sighing slowly.

Finally deciding: "Why don’t I go find Xiao Ah Che? Soft and cuddly, it seems like it’s been a while since I’ve seen him, and I can also visit my sister."

With this realization, she felt delighted and headed towards the direction of the Prince Jin Mansion.

As she rounded a corner, she heard a familiar voice asking for directions.

"Uncle, can you tell me how to get to the Muyuan Teahouse on the south side of the city?"

"Oh, there? You go straight down this road to the end, then head west to the end, and then south, and you’ll be there."

"Alright, thank you, Uncle."

Ye Zhi hid and peeked from the corner of the wall. It was Ling Que and the other two. But why were they going to the Muyuan Teahouse?

Guo Hao, carrying a bundle, got tired and placed it on a nearby stone for a short rest: "Senior Sister, will Qin Yin really be at the Muyuan Teahouse?"

The young girl sneered: "He’ll definitely be there. Brother Chen wrote a letter for us to deliver, didn’t he? You’ll find out when you get there. How can you be so useless for a grown man, getting tired from carrying a bundle, yet still wanting to follow Brother Chen."

This!

Guo Hao felt aggrieved. He was carrying two large bundles in his hands, and he was also helping Senior Sister, wasn’t he?

Yet he couldn’t say anything.

He could only accept his fate, pick up the bundles, and head in the direction indicated by the Uncle. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Ye Zhi poked her little finger in the shadows. They were unfamiliar with the Capital City, but she wasn’t. With a light tap of her toes, she used her Qinggong to fly towards the south of the city. She wanted to see the teahouse before the three of them.

Soon, she arrived at the location with ease and searched around, indeed finding a Muyuan Teahouse.
