Xiao Yan shook her head: "I just received a letter from my mother a few days ago, telling me not to go back. She's doing well over there. Also, she's sold all of Yang Guangzong's land and plans to divorce him after the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Ye Caiping exclaimed in surprise, "So fast! I thought she would play for a few more years."

Xiao Yan chuckled: "She said it was meaningless... Besides, Mother is always a bit soft-hearted, and she can't bear to keep tormenting people."

Ye Caiping nodded: "Since you're going to get a divorce, why not do it before the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

"Alas, the government offices are closed for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and business will not be conducted until after the festival."

"Do I have to go with them to the divorce proceedings?"

"No need, my uncle and I can go."

"Alright, as long as you have a plan in mind."

Seeing how easily Xiao Yan spoke, Ye Caiping knew that Ye Hufen had completely subdued Yang Guangzong and his entire gang with sheer force.

...

After leaving Ye Caiping's room, Xiao Yan went to find Ye Jin'er.

Ye Jin'er was still in a bad mood and was trying on new clothes with Huan'er.

Jin'er wore a light red half-sleeved top, while Huan'er wore a lilac-colored high-waisted ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress).

Seeing Xiaoyan come in, Huan'er smiled and said, "The dress my cousin made is so beautiful. We'll wear it when we admire the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"It's all thanks to Jin Hua's help." Xiao Yan walked over and helped Huan'er tighten the ribbon at her chest. "What kind of hair accessory should you wear?"

"Didn't Mom buy each of us a velvet flower before? We all wear these. My cousin wears one too. We'll all wear new clothes and velvet flowers together then."

Caiping also prepared a set of these autumn clothes for Xiaoyan.

"Okay!" Xiao Yan smiled, but it seemed like she hadn't seen that flower in a long time.

After leaving Ye Jin'er's room, Xiao Yan went back to her room and searched for a long time but couldn't find the velvet flower.

The maid Guixiang passed by and stopped at her door: "What are you looking for, Sister Xiaoyan?"

"It's nothing. I have a velvet flower that my aunt bought for me. I was thinking of wearing it tomorrow, but I can't find it." She sighed softly as she spoke.

If it were just an ordinary velvet flower, it wouldn't matter, but it was a gift from Ye Caiping, so she naturally cherished it greatly.

Zhao Fan was delivering account books here when he happened to hear this as he was walking through the courtyard, and his face turned bright red.

Velvet flower? Isn't that the one he picked up last time?

Last time he was also delivering account books, and he bumped into Miss Xiao Yan...

Then he found a fluffy flower.

Although he delivered the account book to Xiaoyan almost every day, for some reason, he could never bring himself to speak.

So he kept it, and after a while, he became reluctant to return it.

"Young Master Zhao, you've arrived so early today?" Gui Xiang noticed him.

Zhao Fan stopped in his tracks: "The employer said there will be a holiday for the Mid-Autumn Festival tomorrow, so we're leaving work an hour early today."

"Oh, Sister Xiaoyan is here," Guixiang said with a smile.

Xiao Yan came out of the room: "Your aunt is home. You can just ask her."

Zhao Fan blushed as he looked at her pretty face and said, "Okay."

After saying that, he quickly left, but couldn't help turning back.

Gui Xiang said, "Could it have fallen behind the dressing table? Let me look for it for Sister Xiao Yan."

"Okay, let's move the dressing table."

After handing the ledger to Ye Caiping, Zhao Fan turned to leave.

As I walked through the courtyard, I saw Xiaoyan and Guixiang standing under the corridor with frustrated expressions, clearly unable to find it.

Thinking about it, Zhao Fan spat at himself. Of course, he couldn't find it, because it was in his hands.

No, he has to give the flowers back to her!

But... how do I repay it?

After leaving Ye Caiping's house, Zhao Fan ran home in one breath and took out the begonia velvet flower from the box.

There's no time to think of a solution now, whatever, we can only go for it!

After thinking for a moment, he ran straight to Ye Caiping's door.

Shanzi was sitting at the door counting ants.

Zhao Fan threw the flower on the ground and stiffly exclaimed, "Oh... there's a flower here, whose is it?"

Shanzi sat to the side with his legs crossed, not even turning around.

Zhao Fan gritted his teeth: "Shanzi... there's a flower here."

"So what if it's a flower? What's so special about it?" Shanzi glanced back, but didn't see it clearly.

"No...it's a velvet flower. The kind girls wear..."

"A velvet flower?" Shanzi jumped off the stool and walked over. "It really is a velvet flower. Which girl wore it?"

"Who...who knows!"

"Hmm, it looks like the style my young lady wore."

Zhao Fan breathed a sigh of relief and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, only your daughter in the whole Qinghe Village can afford to wear it. And it's right in front of your house, it must belong to them."

Shanzi quickly picked up the velvet flower: "I'll go in and ask."

Zhao Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

But after Shanzi took the flowers away, I felt a little empty inside for some reason.

Shanzi ran into the house. Just then, he saw Xiaoyan coming, so he ran over to her with a smile:

"Sister Xiaoyan, look at this velvet flower, doesn't it look like the ones you often wear?"

Xiao Yan paused for a moment, then recognized it at a glance: "This is mine."

"Oh, what a coincidence. Then I'll return it to Sister Xiaoyan." Shanzi said, turning to leave.

"Hey, where did you get this?"

"You found it at the door?"

"The doorway?" Xiao Yan shook her head: "I've been making clothes all day and haven't left the house."

"Then I have no idea. It was Young Master Zhao who discovered it."

Zhao Fan? Xiao Yan was taken aback.

She hasn't left the house all day, how could she have fallen outside?

That was before?

When did I drop this fluffy flower and have Zhao Fan pick it up?

She suddenly remembered a long time ago, when she bumped into him...

Could it be that time?

And because he had overheard them looking for flowers, he deliberately threw the flowers on the ground...

Thinking about it, Xiao Yan's face flushed slightly.

This person... is so strange. Since he picked up her flowers, why didn't he return them immediately?

After Shanzi left, Xiaoyan returned to her room, put the begonia flower in her hair, looked at herself in the bronze mirror, and a smile appeared on her face.

...

The next day was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and every household was happily celebrating.

Eighty percent of the villagers have someone working in the workshop, and almost every family is receiving wages, so this year's Mid-Autumn Festival was particularly prosperous.

In addition to wages, Ye Caiping also gave mooncakes to her employees.

The whole village was immersed in a state of contentment.

Only Ye Er's family was lifeless.

Ye Erquan still has work to do, and he's so busy that he doesn't have time to rest even during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

With such a big thing happening at home, he should have been resting. But he had taken on the work a long time ago and promised to finish it by a certain time, so he had to do it even if he didn't want to.

Ye Peng locked himself in his room, as if he were about to die.

Ye Daquan was also a little unhappy, cursing inwardly. It was all the second son's family's fault for making trouble, otherwise he could have spent the Mid-Autumn Festival with his younger sister this year!

At this moment, the villagers suddenly saw Ms. Wei return from outside the village.

Behind them was a matchmaker, and several other people carrying loads tied with big red flowers, parading through the city in a lively and bustling manner.
