It's late at night and the cool breeze is bleak.

Ye Ling walked through the garden and returned to Lingyunyuan. On the way, she kept thinking about the man she just met. He was naughty and didn't look like a serious person, but the fact that he was a friend of Yun Yao should be true.

"What are you doing here?" Ye Ling's eyes looked at the road beneath her feet, and an angry voice came from the front. When she looked up, she saw Yun Xiu standing there, her face darker than the night. Her eyes looked at her, with unconcealed disgust.

"I can't sleep, come out for a walk." Ye Ling looked calm.

Yun Xiu strode forward, crossed Ye Ling, and looked around. It was obvious that Ye Ling had a private meeting with someone in the garden late at night.

Seeing nothing, Yun Xiu turned around and saw Ye Ling continue to walk forward on his own, and he was even more angry!

"Stop it!" Yun Xiu took a quick step and blocked Ye Ling's way.

"What's the point of doing uncle?" Ye Ling was impatient and did not show his face.

"Say! Are you meeting men privately here?" Yun Xiu asked coldly.

Ye Ling was speechless: "If so, that man is you, because there is no one else, are you satisfied?"

"Speak nonsense! I don't know shame!" Yun Xiu's anger became even stronger when he heard this.

"So, uncle, why are you here to stay late at night?" Ye Ling asked Yun Xiu.

"This is my home. Do you need to explain it to you?" Yun Xiu said coldly.

"Very good! Then please remember one thing clearly. This is my family, and I don't need to explain it to you! When the King of War is dead, I am the most legitimate and most obedient master in this mansion. I don't want to see me, so please go out!" Ye Ling did not show any weakness, and walked around Yun Xiu and left with great strides.

Yun Xiu clenched his fists and looked at Ye Ling's back, his eyes blew fire, as if he was about to tear her!

Ye Ling didn't understand where Yun Xiu's hostility towards her came from. Did Yun Xiuzhen think that she killed Yun Yao, so she hated her so much? If so, Ye Ling could only say that Yun Xiu was a brainless person. If it were because of other reasons that Ye Ling didn't know, she would be even more unlikely to give in.

Back at Lingyunyuan, Ye Chen slept soundly, with a slight smile on his little face, as if he had a beautiful dream.

Ye Ling left Yun Xiu behind her. When she lay down, the first thought came to her mind was, what should I do for a midnight snack tomorrow...

The next day, Xue sent someone to invite Ye Ling over.

Ye Ling left both maids to take care of Ye Chen, and she went to Meixiangyuan where Xue lived alone.

"Old lady, the princess is here." Madam Wei, beside Xue, slammed the curtain and respectfully invited Ye Ling into the door.

"Mom." Ye Ling came in and saluted Xue.

Xue put down the teacup in her hand, waved her hand gently, and bowed and left the maid who beat her legs. The curtain was lowered, and only Xue and Ye Ling were left.

"Sit down." Xue said.

When Ye Ling sat down, he heard Xue ask, "Xu'er said, after midnight last night, did you go to the garden alone?"

Ye Ling looked as usual: "Yes." There was no denial or explanation.

"Your cousin Ye Lian will become the crown princess next month, and the crown prince is not your good match." Xue looked at Ye Ling and suddenly said this. Obviously, she knew a lot about the original owner.

Ye Ling was silent, and Xue was not asking her, and then said, "At this point, I will say something bluntly. Your father saved Yaoer's father's life. Ye Ying knew about this, I wonder if he had told you. Before Ye Ying had an accident, I liked her to marry Yaoer, but because of that accident, I gave up."

Ye Ling lowered her eyes slightly. There was something else she had never heard of. She thought it was just a thought of Xue, and Ye Ying herself might not know it.

"The emperor wanted to marry Yao'er's wedding. The Yun family opposed it at first, especially Yao'er." Xue did not look at Ye Ling, and mentioned Yun Yao with a sad look. "He knew that he had not had much time and did not want to get married, so he cheated a woman for the rest of his life. I did not give any hope for the wedding."

Xue said, looking at Ye Ling again: "If it weren't for Master Yuanji of Huguo Temple that Yun's son and Ye's daughter were a match made by heaven, and your third uncle chose you to celebrate the joy, this marriage would not have existed. Just Yao'er needs to express his feelings and ask the emperor to take it back and forth. The emperor was just to save him, so he wouldn't have forced him to marry."

Ye Ling looked slightly stunned. There were indeed many things she didn't know.

"So, after the marriage was given, I went to Longyue Temple." Xue said, "Your parents died, and I asked your elder sister to decide what to do with the Yun family. She said, I hope you can marry and ask me to agree. Ruoyao'er is not here, you are widowed, and if you have a good match in the future, I will let you go."

Ye Ling felt sour. The day before yesterday at Longyue Temple, Ye Ying probably saw her change, so she didn't mention some words.

"Ye Ling, I don't like you because you are far inferior to Ye Ying." Xue's words were blunt, "I saw you doing things these days different from before. Whether you are disguised or have really changed your temperament, I hope you remember some words. As long as you are in the King's Mansion for one day, I will try my best to protect you. If you find a good match in the future, I will treat you as a daughter and marry you in a grand manner. But this does not include being a concubine for the prince or a wife for another man. If you don't know how to be a wise man, you will be ashamed of the Yun family and you will be at your own risk."

Ye Ling sighed slightly. She had thought before that the Xue family was good, and she didn't set so many rules for her, and she cared about her when encountering problems, and did not vent her anger on her because of Yun Yao's death. Now she realized that there was no good for no reason.

"Mom, I remember." Ye Ling didn't mind Xue's words saying that she was not as good as Ye Ying, because the original owner was really not good, and Xue's words were already very polite.

"Xu'er is young and energetic, and admires his brother very much. His dissatisfaction with you is because he has seen you have had a private meeting with the prince. I have warned Xiu'er not to be prejudiced against you. If he says something unpleasant, don't take it to your heart." Xue said to Ye Ling.

Ye Ling shook her head: "My uncle is just straightforward, I won't mind."

As for what Ye Ling did to go to the garden alone after Zishi last night, Xue had no intention of exploring it.

After coming out of Xue's family, Ye Ling returned to Lingyunyuan. When he saw Ye Chen, he was eating the sweet dates that Ye Ling asked Xue Qing to steam for him, which were soft and glutinous.

"Auntie!" Ye Chen raised his little hand and smiled brightly.

"Ye Ling walked over, took Xueqing's spoon, hugged Ye Chen and fed him, thinking in her heart that it doesn't matter whether she will marry or not. In the future, she will treat this child as her own son.

After eating the sweet dates, Ye Ling took Ye Chen to Lianhu to row a boat.

The wind was sunny, Ye Ling turned around and saw the glazed tiles of Jade Fenghe Pavilion, flashing with gem-like light. He remembered what happened last night and sighed slightly in his heart, hoping that the person could really help her find Zixue Glycold. The sooner the better. Ye Ying was too bitter...

Longyue Temple.

The second day after Ye Chen left, Ye Ying got up early, pushed open the door, looked at the jujube tree in the yard, and the way he looked like Ye Ling and Ye Chen were guarding the jujube tree and refused to leave. He smiled slightly, moved his eyes down and saw something on the stone table next to the jujube tree.

Ye Ying walked over and found that it was a small medicine bottle, made of jade. He pressed a note underneath, and wrote four words "Purple Snow Gel Dew".

Ye Ying looked slightly stunned. Of course she knew what this was. She also longed for her hands to recover as before, not to play the piano, but to hug her children...

Ye Ying looked around and saw no one.

When Ye Ying took the bottle of purple snow dew and returned to the room, the jujube tree shook slightly. Nangong Heng held a handful of red dates in his hand, pinched one, rubbed it on his sleeve, took a bite, and said silently in his heart: "Ye Ling's dates in the Eight-Treasure Ginseng Chicken Soup should be picked here, and it's really delicious!"
