Zhan Yi and Madam Zhan tilted their heads to look at Ye Qianning, taking a closer look. He was a little thinner and darker. When he was a child, he was chubby and fair...

Ye Qianning tilted her head and let them look at her. Although appearance was not important, it seemed that everyone who saw her had no doubts about her human skin mask.

It doesn’t matter what she looks like in their hearts, what matters is that she is good.

This made Ye Qianning feel indescribably warm in his heart. Family, no matter what you become, you are a unique treasure in the eyes of your family.

Madam Zhan felt more and more distressed the more she looked at him, and finally hugged Ye Qianning again: "My child, you have suffered."

"It doesn't matter if you're dark and thin. Grandpa will slowly adjust you back to normal in the future."

Zhan Yi was heartbroken after taking a closer look. He had suffered such an injury back then, and his body was fundamentally damaged. He studied medicine, and even if the sword wound was deflected to the heart, it would take several years to heal.

She was so young at that time, but now she can stand and call grandpa and grandma, and they are content.

Zhan Chi: “…”

"Okay." Ye Qianning nodded obediently.

"Grandma's darling, let's go home and recuperate slowly. As long as you are healthy, that's all that matters." Madam Zhan said while sniffing.

"Yes, good health is more important than anything else." Zhan Yi felt both distressed and happy.

“…”

Zhan Chi's mouth twitched several times. He reached out and pulled Ye Qianning from Madam Zhan's arms, pointing his finger at her face: "Dad, Mom, look at this, how does it look like when you were a kid..."

"No matter what the child looks like, she is my Zhan family's granddaughter. If you don't want her, we will take her." Zhan Yi glared at her with his tiger eyes.

Madam Zhan pulled Ye Qianning back and glared at Zhan Chi with a reproachful look. Then she turned to Ye Qianning and said softly, "Don't listen to your father. In our family, the granddaughter is the most beautiful."

Zhan Chi: “…”

Ye Qianning had a warm smile on her face. Although she didn't care about her appearance, she didn't want her grandparents to not recognize her the next time she entered the city in her true appearance.

"Grandpa, grandma, I actually changed my appearance."

"Forehead……"

Madam Zhan was stunned.

Zhan Yi was also stunned.

Zhan Chi was pleased with himself: "People used to say that the little girl looked a lot like her elder sister. Is this what she will look like when she grows up?"

My parents are really old and their eyesight is blurry...

“…”

Ye Qianning kept her bottom line and didn't complain. Back then, her three fathers were even worse than her grandparents...

"When you're a child, you're a child. It's normal to be different when you grow up." Madam Zhan said this, her eyes fixed on her face, examining it carefully. "Did you really change your appearance?"

Zhan Yi's eyes widened. He couldn't see any trace of it on Ye Qianning's face no matter how hard he looked. It wasn't until he saw her smiling and nodding that he believed it: "Oh my, there are such disguise techniques in the world as yours. Even I didn't see any clues."

Ye Qianning raised his hand and lowered his head to remove the human skin mask on his face, revealing a fair face.

Madam Zhan was holding her arm, being the closest to her. The face she saw made her breath stop. It was beautiful, so beautiful. Even her heart couldn't stop beating when she saw it.

The face in front of me is breathtakingly beautiful.

Zhan Yi was completely stunned, unable to recover...

Even though Zhan Chi knew that his daughter was very beautiful, he was still shocked by her beauty when he saw her again.

"Grandpa, grandma." Ye Qianning smiled slightly.

His face was originally a little cold, but a slight smile made people feel a little dazed.

"You...are you really Qian Ning?" Madam Zhan didn't dare to admit it again.

"grandmother."

Ye Qianning was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Madam Zhan looked her up and down again.

She raised her hand and touched her fair face. The moment her fingertips touched her cheek, her fingers trembled slightly. She didn't dare to use force with her hands, as if any force would leave scratches on her little face.

It's so fragile.

Ye Qianning took Madam Zhan's hand and placed it on her little face: "Grandma, I am Qianning, your granddaughter. Don't fail to recognize me next time you see me."

"Okay, okay." Madam Zhan said these three words in a row, obviously still not recovered from the shock.

If you look closely, her eyebrows and eyes are indeed somewhat similar to Susu's, but her appearance is several times more gorgeous than Susu's. No one in the whole Kyoto can match her appearance.

"Hahaha, you really are worthy of being my, Zhan Yi's granddaughter." Zhan Yi came back to his senses, with surprise and pride in his eyes.

"That's my daughter." Zhan Chi couldn't help but say.

Zhan Yi's smile hadn't faded yet. Upon hearing this, he turned around and glared at him again: "Don't talk in front of me. If my granddaughter wasn't here..."

He didn't say anything else, but the way he raised and lowered his hand was enough to explain everything.

Madam Zhan's thoughts were interrupted by the two men. She looked at Ye Qianning and both of them laughed out loud.

As night fell, the Zhan family's hall was filled with laughter, occasionally accompanied by some childish bickering. The Zhan family had not been so lively for a long time.

After the hour of You, Ye Qianning heard the sound of someone approaching outside. The person who was led out came back.

"Grandma, it's getting late. I have to go."

"Qian Ning, stay here tonight." Madam Zhan pulled her reluctantly.

Zhan Yi was still excited, but when he saw her stand up and say she was leaving, his smile froze and he stood up as well.

"Grandpa, grandma, dad, the next time we meet will be when I enter the city. We have a long way to go." Ye Qianning didn't want to leave either, but if he was discovered, the Zhan family would be in trouble again.

"It's dark now. Where are you going at this time? Stay here. They are monitoring me, not your grandparents." Zhan Chi also noticed someone approaching and frowned.

"Don't worry, Dad. Since he is monitoring you and is very suspicious of you, the Zhan family will just ignore what's happening outside and pretend not to hear anything." Ye Qianning was afraid that something unexpected would happen, and they were worried and couldn't contain themselves.

Zhan Chi nodded and asked again, "Are you still going to leave the city?"

"I won't be leaving the city for the next two days. If you have anything to say, please send someone to Siyinfang to pass on a message to me."

"Siyinfang?"

"Well, grandma, don't worry, Siyinfang is the shop run by my aunt, it's very safe."

Madam Zhan was a little surprised: "Didn't your aunt leave the capital at the beginning?"

"Hmm... I'm not too sure about the details. It seems that my aunt and Father Gu studied business for a few years, and then returned to the capital to open Siyinfang."

"All of your aunts are loyal and righteous. Grandma will feel more at ease when you are with them." Madam Zhan has always known about Si Yin Fang. It is now a very famous shop in the capital.

The noble ladies from the capital had learned the art of playing the zither from the zither player at Siyinfang. Their family had no daughters, so their family had never paid attention to these things.

I never thought I would miss an old friend.

"Then I'll take you there." Zhan Chi said.

Ye Qianning shook his head: "Just now you said to let Dad be safe, if you go out now, you will definitely be caught red-handed."

"What are you afraid of?"

"Girl, grandpa asked Dachun to take you there."

"No need. I'm familiar with the capital. It's only a few blocks from here to Siyinfang. I won't cause any trouble if I disguise myself. It would be more suspicious if Uncle Dachun followed me."

"All right."

Ye Qianning turned around and put on the human skin mask. At the same time, there was movement on the roof.

Zhan Yi and Zhan Chi looked at each other.

"Dad, Mom, I'm going back to my room first." Zhan Chi said.

"Um."

Zhan Chi opened the door and walked out of the hall.

The footsteps were getting farther and farther away. Ye Qianning heard the sound of loose tiles on the roof and turned around to pick up the teacups on the table.

"You go down too." Madam Zhan said.

Ye Qianning lowered his head and carried the tray out of the room.

The person on the roof looked for a while and didn't see anyone, so he covered the roof with tiles and turned to walk towards Zhan Chi.

Zhan Yi heard no more noise outside and sat down. "Ah, the situation in Beili is getting worse and worse. I don't know what the guy above wants."

"No matter what happens, I just want my family to be safe and sound."

"A woman's opinion."

"Then what can you do? The emperor won't tolerate anyone contradicting him. Those who offer honest advice will not have a good ending. What I'm most worried about now is the second brother, Qian Ning, and Yin'er."

"The second brother has been unable to escape since the day he entered the palace. Yin'er has been stripped of her title of princess, and the arrest warrant for her was withdrawn some time ago. If she doesn't return to Beijing in this lifetime, it would be good for her to live a peaceful life. As for Qian Ning, she is so famous and has a connection with Penglai, so her appearance is the target of public criticism." Zhan Yi was also shocked when he heard those rumors.

The eighth prince's eyes are what emperors of all dynasties in Penglai Fairy Mountain have dreamed of. Just because of rumors, Emperor Beili has tolerated him for many years.

Ye Qianning entered the city, and he didn't dare to imagine what would happen.

"Then...what should we do?" Madam Zhan said anxiously, "Why didn't you persuade her not to enter the city?"

"At this moment, even if she wants to leave, she can't. And I see that Marquis Ming is coming with a fierce momentum, and Dean Chen is accompanying him. He should have a countermeasure." Zhan Yi thought.

"What countermeasures? Anyway, I am just worried. Qian Ning is a very beautiful child. I am afraid..." Madam Zhan was worried.

Su Su's appearance at that time... made Emperor Beili miss her for many years, and he narrowly escaped death before leaving the Beili Imperial City.

Ye Qianning's appearance is now more beautiful than Zhan Susu's back then, and she is afraid.

Zhan Yi felt a little worried after hearing this: "We'll take it one step at a time. However, the Zhan family only has this one granddaughter. If anything happens, I will never let what happened back then happen again, even if it costs me my old bones."

Although Madam Zhan didn't know whether the future would be a blessing or a curse, she gradually felt relieved after hearing these words. She turned her head to look out the window. The night was dark and quiet, as if everything that had just happened was a dream.

Beijing, Zhongdong Street.

Ye Qianning walked out of the alley and turned into the street. Seven or eight o'clock in the summer is the busiest time for the Beijing night market.

The storytellers who were on the streets during the day had disappeared, the papers scattered on the ground had been cleared away, the officers and soldiers had retreated, and those who had not dared to go out during the day only dared to go out when night fell.

The night market is a bit more lively than usual.

Ye Qianning walked through the streets, everything seemed to be the same as before, and he knew in his heart that there had been a result in the palace, otherwise the whole city would not have been dealt with so cleanly.

No one on the street dared to talk about the mess that happened during the day, as if it had never happened.

To reach Siyinfang, you have to cross three streets in the east of the city, which is the most extravagant and decadent place in the capital.

Walk a short distance from Chengdong Street and you will find the Tianlao (Sky Prison) nearby.

At this time, a carriage drove into East Street from the direction of Tianlao.

Inside the carriage, Sang Qi's face was gloomy, and his slender fingers were clenched into fists. Xu Chang had his tongue cut off, and the imperial sister had her fingers amputated. For what they had done, this was the lightest punishment.

The foreign prince was injured at the city gate and had to return. If this misunderstanding cannot be resolved, it will be a disaster for Beili.

Sang Shu is not worried, and the prince of the Earl's Mansion is even more stupid.

Sang Qi thought of their accusations and found them ridiculous. Princesses, princes, even him, the crown prince, his father would abandon them without hesitation as long as they affected his interests or posed any threat to the royal family.

He reminded her many times, but the princess never understood.

"Sir Chen, tell me in detail what happened in Baimuxun." Sang Qi said coldly.

Chen Siqing rode on the outside of the carriage. He dismounted immediately upon hearing the words. The guard led the horse over, and he sat next to the coachman, his body half turned sideways: "In Bermuda..."

He spoke intermittently, starting from when he checked into Bermuda.

"I want to know about Ye Qianning." Sang Qi gave him a pause and interrupted coldly.

Chen Siqing was stunned for a moment, then continued, "When I first met Miss Ye, a book of Haishang Xiaozhuan was being auctioned at the auction house. Miss Ye made a bid, and so did the Crown Prince of Xiyan, but in the end Miss Ye won with..."

Knowing that the prince wanted to know about Ye Qianning, Chen Siqing recalled what he had said in detail.

"Is she very familiar with Prince Xiyan?" Sang Qi suddenly asked.

"Um...it seems so. Whenever Miss Ye shows up, Prince Xiyan will definitely show up as well. I even happened to see him and Miss Ye talking to each other for quite a while."

"What did you say?"

"This... I dare not get close. I can't hear what they are saying."

After Chen Siqing finished speaking, there was no sound from inside the car for a long time. He turned sideways and looked forward. Suddenly, a person caught his eye. His expression paused and he blurted out, "Miss Ye?"

'Shua'

The car curtain was suddenly lifted.

Chen Siqing was startled and turned around hurriedly: "Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"What did you just say?" Sang Qi's eyes were cold.

"I think I saw Miss Ye..."

"Where?" Sang Qi looked at the people.

Chen Siqing looked in the direction he had just been looking, and only saw a profile, and then a back figure: "Your Highness, I... I may have seen it wrong."

The body shape is very similar, but the face has some origins.

Sang Qi followed his gaze and saw a back figure. Without thinking much, he jumped out of the car.

"Your Highness, that's not..."

Before Chen Siqing could finish his words, he watched Sang Qi fly to the rooftop with his lightness skills and disappear into the night.

Suddenly he looked worried, confused and scared.

He was mistaken, that person was not Miss Ye at all.

If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince discovered that he had been deceived, his head, which he had saved with great difficulty, would be hanging in the balance again.

Ye Qianning took a walk around East City. There were many official residences in the east of the city. She walked around and found many nectar-sucking nests.

In this way, it is not difficult to know what has happened in the capital in recent years, and the investigation into Mrs. Zhang's affairs should also yield results soon.

After confirming that Ximi was still in the city, Ye Qianning planned to go to Loushan tomorrow to find out the news.

When turning East Street and approaching Vanity Street, Ye Qianning felt someone approaching.

I stopped and looked around. It seemed that the aura was quite strong, but I didn't sense any murderous intent for the time being.

But she was a little puzzled. If she hadn't followed him from the Zhan family, who would have noticed such an ordinary person like her?

Ye Qianning lowered his eyes slightly, not knowing who the other person was. He did not dare to expose himself rashly, so he turned and entered the bustling and flashy street.
