The old lady knew that Ye Lanyin wouldn't be able to give her any more money.
Her eyes darted around, and she thought of her new bride, Liu Ruyan.
This child is in perfect harmony with her; she will definitely listen to whatever she says.
After considering her options for a while, she had her maid help her back home.
Seeing her expression, Ye Lanyin figured that as long as she didn't try anything with herself, she would just let her have her way.
Back in the courtyard, Ye Lanyin began preparing a gift for her next meeting with Xiao Chengyun.
At this moment, Huaxin hurriedly came to report.
"Madam, the concubine has gone out."
Upon hearing this, Ye Lanyin asked seriously, "Is the carriage in the alley ready?"
The painting nodded in agreement.
"Hua Mei is already waiting over there."
"Does Madam wish to go?"
Ye Lanyin thought for a moment.
"Go, Hua Xin, think of a way to cover our tracks, let's go out."
“Madam, then we can only… crawl through the dog hole.” Hua Xin frowned and said in a low voice.
Speaking of the dog hole, Ye Lanyin suddenly remembered that she had said the same thing when the Regent sneaked into her courtyard last time.
After thinking for a moment, she nodded and said, "Let's go."
The group quickly and stealthily crawled out through the dog hole.
Ouch, my butt hurts so much!
"Mommy...it hurts~" Lin Wanwan pouted.
Third Brother took her through the dog hole, fine, but why did Mother have to get involved?
Ye Lanyin smiled sheepishly and reached out to rub Lin Wan's skin. "Wanwan, I'm sorry you had to go through this."
"Mother promises, there won't be a next time."
Except when it crawls back in a bit.
Not far away, the man in the black python robe was staring at them. When he saw Ye Lanyin carrying the child and crawling through the dog hole, his cold eyes turned to shock.
This woman, who appears gentle and graceful, actually did such an embarrassing thing while carrying her child.
Mo Qing stood to the side, suppressing a laugh as he awaited the Regent's instructions.
"Follow them."
"Yes, Master."
Ye Lanyin followed Hua Xin into a carriage and then headed towards Gufang Road.
Along the way, Ye Lanyin thought of countless reasons in her mind, but she couldn't figure out who Zou Shuang'er wanted to see that could make her endure her physical discomfort and sneak out.
Before long, the carriage arrived at the intersection where it had been before.
Hua Xin asked, "Does Madam wish to stop?"
"No, keep going, stay ahead of them."
"yes."
The driver was borrowed by Huaxin from her parents' home and her second brother a few days ago, in order to prevent Zou Shuang'er from recognizing him.
Zou Shuang'er was walking hurriedly down the street when a carriage sped past her, the wind blowing her headscarf away.
She was so frightened that she quickly pulled at herself, afraid that someone would see her.
Zou Wanqing felt a little uncomfortable being hugged by her, and could still vaguely smell her scent. She wanted to break free and walk on her own.
"Wanqing, we'll be there soon. We can get on the carriage when we get up ahead."
"Mother, didn't Uncle say we'd see each other again in two months? Why is it so soon this time? Could our whereabouts have been exposed?"
"No, maybe he had something urgent to attend to. This has happened before."
Soon, the two reached the corner at the end of the street. Seeing the familiar carriage, Zou Shuang'er carried Zou Wanqing up.
After Hua Mei's carriage saw her leave, it immediately turned out from another alley and followed behind her.
And so, the three carriages moved slowly forward, one after the other.
...
The carriage had been traveling for an unknown amount of time when Hua Xin saw Zou Shuang'er get off the carriage and enter a restaurant. She then spoke quickly and directly to her.
"Madam, look! She's gone into the restaurant."
Ye Lanyin lifted the curtain and looked up to see Zou Shuang'er carrying the child, her head down, as she walked into the shop.
"parking."
"Madam, this place is close to the mistress's former courtyard. She's sold her courtyard, so what are you doing here?"
"I don't know, we'll go in and take a look in a bit."
She was also puzzled.
Is there something here that she still longs for?
The carriage slowly came to a stop, and Ye Lanyin remained seated inside, without getting off.
Only after someone behind her greeted her from another carriage did Ye Lanyin get off.
The restaurant wasn't very big, only two floors in total. Ye Lanyin followed a waiter up to the second floor.
"Madam, please come in."
Ye Lan nodded.
Hua Mei was sitting inside. When she saw Ye Lanyin arrive, she stood up and walked towards her.
“Madam, they are right next door. I saw her come to see a man.”
"Do you think it could be her lover?"
"Listen to it."
Ye Lanyin found a seat closest to the wall and sat down.
next door.
Zou Shuang'er held Zou Wanqing and sat opposite her at the pear wood round table, smiling as she said to her, "Wanqing, quickly call him uncle."
Looking at the nonchalant manner of the man opposite her, Zou Wanqing pouted and said in a loud voice, "Uncle."
The man immediately smiled broadly and reached out to touch Zou Wanqing.
Zou Wanqing dodged away in disgust.
The man, holding the object in mid-air, then backed down, saying, "Fine, fine, I won't touch you, you're stingy."
Zou Shuang'er looked at the man opposite her and said, "Brother, tell me, what did you call me out for this time?"
"Little sister, I'm a bit short on cash lately, could you..."
Upon hearing this, Zou Shuang'er's face turned ashen. "Zhu Yikang, you came out here just to ask me for money?"
"Hehe, not really."
"I've brought you the things you asked me to find a while ago."
As he spoke, Zhu Yikang took out a package from his sleeve and spread it on the table.
Zou Shuang'er was pleasantly surprised and reached out to take it, but Zhu Yikang moved it away.
"Hey." He chuckled and pulled her back, rubbing his index finger and thumb together. "Little sister, you asked me to buy something for you, aren't you going to give me a little errand fee?"
