Upon hearing Yan'er's words, Wang Er was so shocked that his eyes widened. For a long time, he opened and closed his mouth as if he couldn't speak. He shook her thin arm frantically and asked, "Is what you said true? Is there really another woman here who saved me?"

Yan'er seemed to be shaken to pieces by him, and could only nod repeatedly.

"Great, great, it must be her, it must be her..." Seeing Yan'er's stunned expression, Wang Er seemed to suddenly realize his recklessness. He threw Yan'er aside, stood up, and muttered to himself with a joyful expression, pacing back and forth in front of Yan'er.

Only after she had calmed down a bit did Yan'er bend her knees and lean against the stone wall, tilting her head and asking curiously and cautiously, "Do you know that girl? Could she be the girl you're looking for? Isn't she... very beautiful?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Er suddenly stopped and looked at Yan'er intently, saying, "She is my savior. I never expected that she would save me again this time."

Yan'er nodded slightly, and the two remained silent for a while. Wang Er smiled faintly, gazing at the dim candlelight on the wall, and turned to Yan'er, who was sitting on the floor, as he reminisced:

"A few days before the Lantern Festival, on the morning after a stormy, torrential rain, I found her in a pile of water plants by the river at the village entrance. She was barely alive in the water. The living Buddha said she was my benefactor, which I didn't believe, but she really was. After saving her, it was as if my luck had turned around, and good things kept happening. If it weren't for her, I, Wang Er, would probably have died in the mountains long ago... However, her appearance was quite the opposite. She had an extremely ugly red birthmark on her face, so she always wore a white veil..."

Before Wang Er could finish speaking, Yan'er suddenly looked astonished. She froze, as if the air around her had stopped. Then, for some reason, she started crying again, her body trembling.

Wang Er suddenly heard what sounded like sobbing behind him, so he quickly turned around and glanced at Yan'er's face, asking in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Miss, she...she is my missing young lady. Thank God, it turns out, my young lady is really alive, really alive! This is wonderful, this is wonderful!" Yan'er said, her voice trembling, overjoyed and weeping.

However, after thinking for a moment, Wang Er asked, "What is your young lady's name...?"

“My young lady is the eldest daughter of the Yi family in the west of the city, and her name is Yi Shangyun.” Yan’er wiped away her tears and choked out.

"That's not right, but why did I hear Huan'er call her Ruoxi?" Wang Er was extremely puzzled.

"Miss Huan'er?" Yan'er asked, puzzled.

At this moment, Wang Er slowly walked over to Yan'er's side, sat cross-legged with her, and explained in detail: "I was the first to find Miss Ruoxi, that's right. But she was staying at the house of the Living Bodhisattva. At that time, she had suffered a severe head injury and was running a high fever, so she was barely clinging to life. Later, I went to find the Living Bodhisattva, the only person in the whole village who knew medicine. Fortunately, with her and her maid Huan'er's careful care, after several days and nights, the girl finally woke up."

"My poor young lady, how much suffering has she endured out there!" Yan'er listened, thought, and spoke, wiping away her tears with her sleeve as she cried.

Just then, Wang Er seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly slapped his thigh, exclaiming, "That's right, I remember now, I saw that she was wearing a rather eye-catching seven-colored gold and jade bracelet on her wrist..."

In the quiet dungeon, Yan'er was startled by his sudden action, but after hearing these words, she became even more certain and immediately said, "It's her, that's right. That seven-colored gold and jade bracelet is something only my young lady has. In this world, it's impossible for two people to be so similar, both with red birthmarks, both escaping death at almost the same time, and both with the same bracelet... It must be my young lady."

Yan'er's words didn't seem to be without merit, but Wang Er still didn't quite understand. After pondering for a while, he suddenly said, "You're right. Since you're so sure it must be your young lady, then there are only two possibilities for why she's called Ruoxi now..."

"What is it?" Yan'er asked anxiously before Wang Er could finish speaking.

Wang Er said, "One possibility is that she deliberately used this to hide her identity and didn't want to be found. The other possibility is... because her head injury was very severe at the time, which may have caused her to... suffer from amnesia after waking up."

"What? You've lost your memory?" Yan'er stared at him, her eyes wide with surprise.

Wang Er looked intently into Yan'er's eyes and said, "She got this name because she doesn't remember. Fortunately, she is right here with you. Just one look is enough to know the truth."

Suddenly receiving so much information, Yan'er seemed a little overwhelmed. She suddenly realized what was happening and pounded her knees hard with her fists again and again, blaming herself, "How could Yan'er be so stupid! When those two guards said they saw a woman covered by a white veil in the West Garden, I should have realized that the other woman in the Xiaolong Society besides me and Sister Lanxiang was my young lady! I'm so incredibly stupid."

The two remained silent for a long time. Yan'er slowly raised her head and looked around with a sad expression. She said, "But now, how can we leave here? What kind of place is this? It must be very dangerous for Miss to be here alone. I wonder how Sister Lanxiang is?"

The next day, as dawn broke, a gentle ray of light shone through the window onto Ruoxi's peaceful face, like a mother's hand gently caressing the striking red birthmark on her cheek, waking her up.

She sat up, raised her arms, and stretched lazily and comfortably. Then she glanced at the wildflowers and grasses that filled the room and revealed an innocent and carefree smile, as if she were in a very good mood today.

As soon as she finished dressing up, she was preparing to go up the mountain as usual, but suddenly realized that something seemed to be missing.

Just then, a knocking sound rang out on the door, "knock, knock, knock."

"Young lady, this was delivered early this morning. They said it was something you left in the mountains yesterday." The young guard walked in, carrying a bamboo basket of herbs in one hand and a long black veiled hat in the other.

"You've come at just the right time! I was just wondering how I could go out today without you!" Ruoxi glanced at the guard's hand and happily went forward to take the veiled hat, talking to herself.

Just then, the older guard followed closely behind, carrying some delicious congee and side dishes. He had already heard Ruoxi's words from outside the courtyard, and as soon as he entered, he smiled and advised her, "Miss, let's not go up the mountain today!"

"Why is that?" Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, then her smile disappeared, and she looked up at him with a puzzled expression and asked.

"Because... look at you, every day you open your eyes and it's all about going up the mountain, and every time you go up, you come back with a full load of herbs. Now you have a whole room full of herbs, enough for all the brothers in our Xiaolong Society to use for more than half a year. Why don't we take a good rest in our own courtyard today? It's the height of spring right now, and the flowers in our backyard are the most vibrant in the entire Xiaolong Society. 'Enjoying flowers and doing embroidery'—that's what a girl should do!"

Clearly, what happened in the West Garden last night has already become the talk of the town throughout the entire Xiaolong Society. To prevent Ruoxi from meddling and causing further trouble, the older guard felt it best to keep her confined to the courtyard and prevent her from going out. So, he hesitated, then glanced at the room full of exotic flowers and plants that Ruoxi had filled, and his reason seemed somewhat far-fetched.

Hearing this, Ruoxi sat down, picked up her chopsticks, and laughed self-deprecatingly, "'Admiring flowers and embroidering'? 'Admiring flowers' is alright, but as for 'embroidery,' well, my head is a complete mess, a total blank. Sigh, it's the same needlework, but what comes out of other young ladies' hands are lifelike depictions of all things in the world, while what comes out of my hands... hehe..."

After taking a bite of the refreshing side dishes, she said unhappily, "However, although this yard is full of delicate flowers, I'm tired of seeing them every day. It's really boring. I prefer the flowers and plants in the mountains."

“Hey, I heard there’s a paradise-like place on the southern border of Western Qin, with a ten-mile-long peach orchard that’s little known. Why don’t we go there to see the peach blossoms?” the young guard suddenly said. The older guard gave him a fierce glare.

However, Ruoxi's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said, "'The peach blossoms are in full bloom, so beautiful they are dazzling.' Alright, let's go see the peach blossoms today!"

The older guard thought for a moment. He reasoned that in such a remote and impoverished place, the people must be simple and honest, and such a woman could never be kept at home. So he agreed, saying, "Alright then, girl, eat quickly, and we'll ride off after you've finished eating."

Upon hearing this, Ruoxi showed a look of joy to the older guard and quickly lowered her head to eat.

"Hey, young lady, which courtyard are you from? Why are you walking around so recklessly, without any regard for your surroundings?" Unexpectedly, as soon as the three of them stepped out of the main gate of the East Garden, a woman who seemed to be acting suspiciously was looking around at the courtyards of the West Garden. Suddenly, she took a few steps back and bumped into Ruoxi who was coming from behind. Upon seeing this, the young guard immediately shouted at her.

Startled, the woman immediately turned around and apologized repeatedly, saying, "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to. I'm a maid in charge of brewing tea in the tea room, and I'm looking for the woman who brews tea with me. She hasn't returned all night. Have you seen her?"
