"Brother!"

She took a few steps forward and grabbed Zheng Yu's sleeve: "When we were little, you promised me that you would carve a hairpin for me by hand every year on my birthday. Have you forgotten all these years?"

Zheng Yu looked at He Yi with unfathomable eyes.

He made no attempt to hide his scrutiny and skepticism.

The woman in front of me was very beautiful, with bright eyes and white teeth, and a lively personality. She was indeed similar to the girl I remembered.

Zheng Yu pushed He Yi's hand away.

"Never forgotten, tomorrow will bring it to you."

"good!"

He Yi squinted and tilted her head to smile.

She looks exactly like a lively little kitten.

This Zheng Yu is truly extraordinary. He Yi could sense that Madam Lin no longer doubted her identity.

But she couldn't sense anything from Zheng Yu. Just like his deep, dark eyes, she couldn't see the bottom of them and felt that she was in danger of being swallowed up at any moment.

No wonder he's the male lead who drives those 'viewers' crazy.

"Alright, alright, it's getting late. Heyi just got home today, let's have a family reunion dinner!"

Minister Zheng's beard trembled with joy.

Madam Lin busied herself with preparations, and in less than a quarter of an hour, a sumptuous banquet was laid out in the main courtyard's flower hall.

He Yi stared intently at the dishes.

There was no scheming in his eyes, only pure longing.

"Sit down, sit down."

Minister Zheng waved his hand, signaling everyone to sit down.

He Yi had just picked up her chopsticks when a river shrimp appeared in front of her.

She blinked and looked at Zheng Yu.

Zheng Yu said calmly, "These are your favorite river shrimp."

"Brother, have you forgotten that I never eat river shrimp?"

He Yi pouted and tilted her head: "When I was little, my sister tricked me into eating river shrimp, which caused me to break out in a rash all over my body."

Zheng Yu remained expressionless: "Is that so? Then I must have misremembered."

"By the way, where is Yu Tang?" He Yi asked while eating. "I miss her so much."

Minister Zheng smiled and said, "She went to the mountain to pray to Buddha and ask for a peace charm for your brother. In a few days, it will be the big day of your brother's passing."

Lin was busy serving Zheng Yu food.

Her son is her pride. In his presence, she usually restrains her methods and sharpness, pretending to be a virtuous wife and loving mother.

Zheng Yu: "Are you missing Yu Tang?"

"I don't get along with her at all," He Yi retorted, pouting. "When I was seven, she insisted on taking my little fish lantern away. When I refused to give it to her, she cried and threw a tantrum. What a jerk!"

Lin looked immediately embarrassed.

Zheng Yu didn't say anything, just smiled faintly.

The sudden swaying made He Yi's eyes blur.

She chewed her food and thought to herself: "If you're that good-looking, don't laugh like that!"

He Yi knew he still hadn't dispelled his doubts, but she wasn't in a hurry; instead, she focused on filling her stomach.

Everyone at the table ate with restraint.

Only she ate heartily without any restraint, her appetite was incredibly good.

Minister Zheng squinted and said, "Eat slowly, eat slowly, no one is going to take it from you."

Zheng Yu lifted her eyelids.

He rarely saw people with such good appetites, especially young ladies from secluded households, who all had small appetites and would stop eating after a few bites.

After they put down their chopsticks and drank a few more cups of tea...

He Yicai finally finished eating.

Zheng Yu leaned back lazily in his chair, his handsome features carrying a hint of coolness: "Little sister has a good appetite."

He Yi smiled sweetly: "People with big hearts have big appetites."

Zheng Yu said nothing, stood up, cupped his hands and said, "I still need to study, so I won't stay with you any longer, Father and Mother. I'll take my leave."

He was indifferent to Minister Zheng.

Minister Zheng nodded repeatedly and gently told him several times not to tire himself out.

He Yi is a bit strange.

Although Zheng Yu appeared quite respectful to Minister Zheng, she could tell that Minister Zheng was somewhat wary of her.

Lin got up and saw Zheng Yu to the second gate before turning back. She had just sat down and was about to mend her relationship with He Yi.

He Yi then stood up to take his leave: "Father, I'm tired. May I go back to my room to rest? I've been walking for more than ten days, and I really can't take it anymore."

Minister Zheng was immediately heartbroken.

He hurriedly waved his hand, signaling the maid to come forward: "Serve your young lady to Yi'an Hall. That will be her residence from now on."

Lin was extremely jealous and said sourly, "Yi'an Hall is the best courtyard in our mansion. Yu Tang wanted to move in several times before, but your father refused."

"My father is the best to me."

He Yi clung to Minister Zheng's arm and acted coquettishly, making him so happy that his beard trembled and he wished he could pluck the moon from the sky and give it to her.

"Go, go, get some rest. Father will come to see you tomorrow."

"yes."

He Yi, obedient and graceful, was escorted away by her maids.

They completely ignored the Lin family throughout the entire process.

Madam Lin was so angry that her nose was crooked. If Minister Zheng hadn't been there, she probably would have lost her temper on the spot.

We arrived at Yi'an Hall.

He Yi wandered around.

I am extremely satisfied with this courtyard.

With its unique rock formations, artificial hills, flowers, birds, and trees, plus a small lake, bamboo grove, and a cool pavilion in the back, it's truly a wonderful place to stay.

"Where does my elder brother live?"

He Yi asked the maid who had removed her hairpins and jewelry.

Maid: "The eldest young master lives in Dongting Pavilion, not far from the eldest young lady's place, just across a peach grove."

So close?

He Yi's eyes blinked.

Being near the water tower gives you an advantage!

After washing up, He Yi climbed into bed, the soft blankets making her feel comfortable, and she closed her eyes.

She had never slept in such a soft bed!

"You can go and rest now, I don't need any more service here."
