  She couldn't sit still after thinking about it. Looking back, neither Nie's wife nor Nie Wei Yue had revealed anything about Nie Wei Yue's feelings in their words. They just kept saying that Nie Wei Yue gave her medicine because she heard what Nie Bo Yi said and was indignant, annoyed that she brought trouble to the Nie family. So now she could go to Du Hao Ran's place.

  Zi He in Nie's mansion was specifically for running errands outside. She was quite familiar with the things of Nanyun City and introduced several stores to Ye Zhuo.

  Zi He hesitated for a moment, then said: "Miss Ye, our estate has specialized chefs who make pastries. If you want to eat something, just instruct them to make it and there's no need to spend money buying it outside."

  Zi He opened her mouth, wanting to speak, but hesitated for a long time and ultimately didn't say anything. What could she say? Could she tell them that the eldest young lady of their household liked Du Gongzi and order Ye Zhuo not to get close to him? Was it possible for this little maid to wag her tongue about the eldest young lady's affairs? Forget it, she'd just do as she was told by her master.

  "Miss Ye, aren't you ill? Where are you going?" The woman at the second gate saw the master and servant approaching, exchanged a glance with each other, and asked Ye Zhuo with a smile.

  "Oh, I see. Miss Ye, slow down a bit." The old woman didn't say much more and let them pass. Not until the master and servant's figures disappeared from view did she whisper to another old woman, then quickly got up and went to Nie Wei Yue's courtyard. Normally, they wouldn't get involved in this kind of thing, afraid of offending someone they shouldn't. But yesterday, the mistress had gone to Yingfeng Courtyard and came out with a terrible expression. And judging from the situation over the past two days, it seemed that no one in the entire household liked Miss Ye. Having been at the Nie residence for only two days and already causing such trouble, it looked like Miss Ye's future days wouldn't be easy. So they were happy to go inform Big Sister and get a reward of two taels of silver.

  With Ye Zhuo's keen hearing, she didn't hear any footsteps at all, yet the courtyard door was suddenly opened with a creak. Du Wang stood in the doorway, sizing up Ye Zhuo for a moment before flashing a bright smile that showed off his pearly whites: "Miss Ye has recovered from her illness?"

  Du forgot to see Ye Zhuo's attitude, and that tone of address, touching the back of his head, hehe straight smile, repeatedly said: "No thanks no thanks. If you want to thank, thank my young master. I'm just following orders."

  Du Wang didn't leave Ye Zhuo and Qiu Yue outside the door this time, but instead welcomed them into the hall and had them sit down before going to report to Du Haoran. After a while, he came back, with Du Haoran following behind him. Du Haoran was indeed worthy of being the master, as his reaction was identical to Du Wang's - as soon as they met, he first sized up Ye Zhuo with his eyes and asked: "Have you recovered from your illness?"

  "Hmph." Du Haoran snorted, walking to his seat and sitting down before looking up at Ye Zhuo. "You know the crux of the matter, yet you still dare to come today? Don't you fear that I'll give you a poisonous disease, letting you directly reincarnate into someone who controls others' fates?"

  Du Haoran's gaze was fixed on Ye Zhuo for a long time before he finally shifted his eyes away and spoke, "This path is not an easy one. But as long as you have the courage, that's all that matters."

  This is the deepest feeling she has gained from living two lifetimes. In her past life, everything seemed infinite and magnificent, everyone envied her good birth, beauty, talent, and marrying the man of her dreams, seemingly possessing all the happiness a woman could have. However, those people didn't know that since birth, while enjoying the dignity of her status, she also carried the heavy shackles of a large family. For freedom, she paid a great price. If given a choice, she would rather be the ordinary-born Ye Zhuo now.

  After a while, his gaze turned to the box on the table: "What's this?"

  This is the most famous dessert of Zhi Ya Zhai in Nan Shan City, not only is the packaging beautiful, but it also comes with a bamboo pick. Du Hao Ran didn't stand on ceremony, picked up a bamboo pick and speared a small piece of pea cake, threw it into his mouth, chewed a few times, swallowed and nodded: "Not bad."

  "Yes." Ye Zhuo heard the news and felt relieved. He stood up, thanked Du Haoran with a bow: "Thank you, Mr. Du, for pointing that out. I'll take my leave now."
