Gradually, more and more people came into the Four Seasons Hall.

The students of the mansion arrived one after another, put away their umbrellas at the door and walked into the hall.

Many of the students from Fuyao Mansion who entered from the back of Four Seasons Hall noticed two eye-catching women in a corner of the back row.

They all knew one of the petite girls. She was very famous among the new students of Fuyao Mansion. This was because in the recent Qingyuntai competition, this Miss Ye won the 13th high ranking in Fuyao Mansion. You should know that there were many students in Fuyao Mansion who came several years earlier than her. In addition, because she was a girl, she was particularly eye-catching.

At this time, they saw Ye Lanzhi talking to a cold woman next to her with a sweet smile, but it seemed that it was Ye Lanzhi who was talking. The beautiful cold woman was reading a book with her head down, and she didn't say much. From time to time, she would turn her head to look at Ye Lanzhi, pursed her lips and said nothing.

The cold woman was wearing a white shirt from Xiaoyao Mansion.

This senior sister from Xiaoyao Mansion is also here to attend the class?

Some of the new students in Fuyao Mansion were slightly surprised.

However, many old men in Fuyao Mansion recognized this cold and aloof woman with a teardrop mole under her left eye. She was none other than Concubine Zhao Lingfei, who lived in seclusion and only occasionally appeared at some important ceremonies in the mansion.

But he was more surprised than those who didn't know, and looked back frequently after sitting down in the front.

Ye Lanzhi noticed that many people in the same mansion were paying attention to her, but she didn't care. She had been accustomed to these gazes since she was a child.

Seeing that there was no one around her and Zhao Lingfei and no one came to sit down, Ye Lanzhi nodded slightly, and then looked forward to taking classes with Senior Sister Lingfei later.

Senior Sister Ling Fei should know a lot, right? I guess I’m here just to relieve my boredom. If there’s anything I don’t understand, I’ll ask her. Hehe, I won’t go looking for those scholars in the academy…

Ye Lanzhi's eyes lit up and she turned her head to look at Concubine Zhao Lingfei.

At this moment, Concubine Zhao Ling looked up at her again, and the two women looked at each other for a moment.

There was a look of confusion and hesitation on Concubine Zhao Ling's face.

Ye Lanzhi blinked and found that Senior Sister Lingfei's "shy" look was very cute.

She was not stupid and knew that Concubine Zhao Ling was a little "disliked" for her sitting here, but Ye Lanzhi had no intention of leaving.

She thought to herself, Senior Sister Ling Fei is so shy even when sitting next to a woman, what if a man sits next to her, what will happen...

Thinking of this, Ye Lanzhi suddenly remembered the reason she came to see Concubine Zhao Ling today.

She met Zhao Lingfei's gaze and carefully studied the pair of eyes that made her envious. "Senior Sister Lingfei, look at my memory. I almost forgot something important."

"Last time, my cousin told me about meeting a scholar from the academy. Do you remember that the senior sisters from that academy jokingly asked her to talk to that scholar and organize a literary gathering. Everyone just mentioned it casually, but I didn't expect that my cousin Ruoxi and that scholar surnamed Li actually did it and took it seriously. Hehe, I think my cousin Ruoxi and that man must be having an affair."

Ye Lanzhi smiled at Concubine Zhao Ling and said:

"My cousin said that Xiaoyao Prefecture, unlike Taiyi and Fuyao Prefectures, has less contact with the scholars of Linlu Academy. This is a rare opportunity, and we can get to know them. In addition, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and some grand ceremonies are being prepared in Taiqing Prefecture. We can have some fun first, hold an elegant gathering, and invite more people."

Ye Lanzhi paused and continued, "The location has not been determined yet, but it should be soon. By then, many of our brothers and sisters from Xiaoyao Mansion will attend the gathering, and some people from other mansions may also come. The scholar from the academy will also bring many brothers and sisters to participate... So, Sister Lingfei, my cousin came to ask you if you want to come and play. Well, it's just right that the gathering won't interfere with your practice."

After listening for a while and roughly understanding what was going on, Concubine Zhao Ling became a little distracted. She turned her head from time to time and looked at the entrances to Four Seasons Hall. When Ye Lanzhi finished speaking, she noticed Ye Lanzhi's expectant gaze and prepared to refuse these gatherings as she did in the past without thinking, but Ye Lanzhi seemed to remember something and spoke again.

"Oh, by the way, the scholar in the academy seems to be called Li Jinshu, and he happens to be Mr. Yan's disciple. Haha, maybe I can meet him in Four Seasons Hall later."

Zhao Lingfei's eyes flashed, and she stared at the book on the table. There were notes on the book that someone had carefully made for her that day. She squinted and said, "I see. I'll take a look at it later. Please thank Senior Sister Ye for the invitation for me."

Ye Lanzhi didn't think much about it. The message had been delivered and the mission was accomplished. She chuckled and prepared to ask Zhao Lingfei for more advice on cultivation. She was recently trying to break through the bottleneck of the Fuyao realm.

But at this time, Zhao Lingfei suddenly said, "Junior sister, um... I'm sorry, I actually have an appointment with someone to attend class today, you... you..."

Ye Lanzhi was stunned for a moment, and then she saw Zhao Lingfei's apologetic expression, and then she reacted, "Oh, so that's the case, it's okay, it's okay, I didn't know before... I'm sorry, Senior Sister Lingfei."

She quickly stood up and gave up the seat closest to Concubine Zhao Lingfei.

"Thank you, Junior Sister."

"It's okay, Senior Sister."

Ye Lanzhi looked around and walked to another seat that was closer, ready to sit down. She was a little curious about which sister Sister Ling Fei had invited to come...

At this moment.

At the entrance to the woods behind Shiki Hall, two men dressed in academy student uniforms appeared.

Ye Lanzhi just turned around to move, took a quick look, and suddenly stopped.

Like her, there was also Zhao Lingfei who saw Zhao Rong and Fan Yushu and had been paying attention to the people coming in.

The two women looked over there.

Not far away.

Zhao Rong paused.

The expression that was still chatting and laughing with Fan Yushu a second ago suddenly froze the moment he saw the two women.

Fan Yushu, who was still turning his head to talk to him, was startled when he saw this and looked in the direction Zhao Rong was looking.

His expression when he saw Ye Lanzhi for the first time was joy, but then his eyelids twitched suddenly.

Because... Zhao Rong is right beside me.

The next second, Fan Yushu, who had a strong desire to survive, turned around very naturally, turned away from Zhao Rong and walked away quickly, leaving behind a sentence, "Zi Yu, Lan Zhi just happened to be here, go and explain, don't let her know that I know about this."

The corner of Zhao Rong's mouth twitched. Seeing his good friend running away, he wanted to chase him and pretend to leave as if nothing had happened, but... Qingjun and Ye Lanzhi were staring at him at this time.

There's no way you can fool people.

Zhao Rong gritted his teeth and continued to move forward, his heart in his throat, but after a while he breathed a sigh of relief.

Because although these two women came together to "block his door" today as if they had made an appointment for some unknown reason, their expressions did not seem to be the worst situation that Zhao Rong had expected.

Qingjun didn't look like she was angry because she misunderstood him after knowing this. When she saw him, she thought of something and seemed a little shy. She glanced at Zhao Rong with her bright eyes, then quickly turned her head away and didn't look at him anymore.

Zhao Rong let out a sigh of relief.

However, the expression of Miss Ye, who had only met once before, was puzzling.

Then, Zhao Rong was slightly startled because Ye Lanzhi suddenly put down the book and walked straight towards him.

Ye Lanzhi came in front of Zhao Rong and looked at him with complicated eyes.

Zhao Rong stopped and groaned inwardly, because he caught a glimpse of Concubine Zhao Ling turning her head again and seeing this scene. Then her eyes moved between him and Ye Lanzhi, and her dark brows gradually furrowed.

Ye Lanzhi organized her words and was about to speak when Zhao Rong spoke first.

"Ahem, Miss Ye, let's go talk aside and don't block other people's way here." He said sincerely.

Ye Lanzhi thought about it and nodded.

Zhao Rong took the lead and walked aside, but he did not dare to take Ye Lanzhi out of Concubine Zhao Lingfei's sight. He just walked to a place a little further away where the lady should not be able to hear what was said.

Concubine Zhao Ling looked at them carefully for a while, her eyes suddenly became suspicious, and when she saw Zhao Rong and her junior sister walking away together, she subconsciously stood up and wanted to chase them, but she stopped halfway and sat down again. Her brows relaxed, and she stared at the two little people in the distance with a slightly pouting mouth. She didn't know what she was thinking, she just stared at them without blinking.

However, there was no extra expression on Concubine Zhao Ling’s face, and to outsiders, it seemed as if she didn’t care much.

However, even Zhao Lingfei herself did not realize that her bare hands, which were placed flat on her abdomen, had tightly grasped her skirt, and her fingers were extremely white where they were squeezed.

far away.

The two of them stood still, with no one around to listen.

Zhao Rong clenched his fist and coughed.

Ye Lanzhi pursed her lips and stared at Zhao Rong for a while, then said directly: "Hello, Mr. Zhao."

Zhao Rong was a little scared by being looked at, but now he was no longer afraid and insisted on making it clear, "Hello, Miss Ye."

"That love letter...did you write it?"

Zhao Rong nodded calmly, "Yes, I wrote it, Miss Ye, listen to me..."

Ye Lanzhi suddenly interrupted, "Mr. Zhao, please stop talking."

Zhao Rong frowned and wanted to argue again.

Ye Lanzhi looked at him seriously and said solemnly, "Your love letter was very well written. It shows that your literary talent must be outstanding... But we didn't know each other before. We just met briefly and didn't know each other at all. So, the love letter was a bit of a joke. Well, you are actually a very good man, really, but don't make such jokes anymore."

Zhao Rong was a little anxious when he heard the first half, but slowly, his eyebrows raised.

Hey, you're a very nice man?

Is this... a good guy card?

It seems different from what I imagined. This Miss Ye is quite interesting. My previous impression of her was a bit one-sided...

Ye Lanzhi quietly looked at Zhao Rong's expression and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he didn't seem to have any extreme reaction.

Zhao Rong nodded quickly, "Okay, okay, that's great. However, Miss Ye, I still have something to tell you..."

Ye Lanzhi raised her brows.

Zhao Rong said sincerely: "I said this is a misunderstanding, do you believe it?"

Ye Lanzhi: “…”

She glanced at Zhao Rong's expression, which seemed to show that he didn't care about her rejection at all and even tried to explain it.

Ye Lanzhi understood. She didn't want to hurt others' last bit of self-esteem and strength, so she nodded and said softly, "I believe it. So that's it. It was a misunderstanding. Now it's better to talk it out."

Zhao Rong was speechless. I haven't even explained the whole story of this misunderstanding yet, and you already act like you believe me? It's a bit perfunctory. At least you should listen to my explanation patiently, then pretend to think for a while, and then nod and say you believe me...

However, this matter has come to an end. It's better to be given the card of a nice guy than to accidentally cheat on a classmate, get into a love debt and be misunderstood by Qingjun. It's better to end up with nothing.

Ye Lanzhi suddenly asked, "Mr. Zhao, does Brother Yushu know about this?"

I know, of course I know. Not only that, but the love letter was sent by him...

Zhao Rong complained in his heart, but he certainly didn't say it out loud. He thought about it.

"Yushu didn't know, ahem. I told him it was a misunderstanding and the letter was sent to the wrong address. I didn't tell him right away. I wanted to solve it privately and explain it to you. It's not good to make a big deal out of a small matter. Now it seems that I did nothing wrong. Miss Ye is indeed reasonable."

Ye Lanzhi nodded and said casually, "Oh, who are you going to send it to?"

Zhao Rong pointed behind her and said with a smile, "Send it to my wife."

Ye Lanzhi was stunned. Seeing Zhao Rong's expression, she suddenly believed that this might really be a misunderstanding.

She slowly turned her head and looked curiously in the direction Zhao Rong pointed. There was... Zhao Lingfei.

However, Ye Lanzhi's gaze naturally shifted away from Senior Sister Lingfei.

She looked in that direction for a few breaths, but there was no other woman there.

Ye Lanzhi asked again in confusion: "Where is your wife?"

In the distance, Concubine Zhao Ling was still staring at this side intently, and Zhao Rong had long known that his little jealous boy was "standing guard" all the time.

When Zhao Rong heard this, he did not answer immediately, but suddenly smiled brightly at Zhao Lingfei from a distance. The latter was startled and hurriedly lowered her head to flip through the book.

Then, he said with a gentle look, "Look, that's her. She's sitting there, pretending to read a book. Look, she glanced at me again. Just now, her eyes looked as if she wanted to eat me...jealous."

Only then did Ye Lanzhi realize who Zhao Rong was talking about.

However, she was only slightly startled, and then her expression slowly restrained, and she felt a little disgusted with the man in front of her.

My impression of him has changed a bit...

Zhao Rong came back to his senses, breathed a sigh of relief, and prepared to leave, but suddenly remembered something and said, "Um, Miss Ye, can you give me back my love letter? I want to take it back and explain to my wife."

Ye Lanzhi had a blank expression on her face. She shrugged and said softly, "I'm sorry, I accidentally lost the letter."

In Ye Lanzhi's heart, Zhao Rong's behavior of making fun of her admired senior sister was extremely bad, and her impression of him changed greatly. Therefore, Ye Lanzhi was a little worried that Fan Yushu was deceived by Zhao Rong, the so-called "good friend". This love letter written to her with Fan Yushu's own paper and ink was evidence that could expose his lies at any time, and it seemed that it could not be returned to Zhao Rong at the moment.

Zhao Rong was helpless, "Okay, Miss Ye, goodbye."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Seeing this, Ye Lanzhi shook her head and returned to Four Seasons Hall like Zhao Rong. However, she stared at Zhao Rong's back all the way, not knowing what she was thinking and her brows were furrowed.

After a while, the two returned to the back row of Four Seasons Hall together again.

Ye Lanzhi suddenly realized something and looked at Zhao Rong's back who was still walking in front of her, feeling a little strange.

Don’t you college students usually sit in the front row?

But before she could wonder for long, what happened next made her stop in her tracks.

She saw that Zhao Rong in front of her was taking the same route as her. He walked past her seat without stopping, came to the side of Zhao Lingfei, and sat down in the seat next to Zhao Lingfei without any hesitation.

What surprised her even more was that Senior Sister Lingfei, who always kept a distance from strangers, did not show any rejection or other reaction. She just lowered her head and kept quiet for a moment, then suddenly turned around, her eyes gradually widened, staring at Zhao Rong, and even... puffed up her mouth like a little girl, as if she was... sulking?

Ye Lanzhi stood there in a daze, her body gradually stiffening. Then, in her sight, Zhao Rong tilted his head and looked at Senior Sister Lingfei for a moment, then he couldn't help but burst out laughing. After that, Zhao Rong suddenly leaned forward, and the two of them were very close, their noses almost touching, but Senior Sister Lingfei still stared at Zhao Rong with a stern face, with no intention of retreating.

Zhao Rong seemed to have spoken a few words to Senior Sister Lingfei in a soft voice. Senior Sister Lingfei had a stern face at first, and then her eyes gradually showed some resentment. After hearing something Zhao Rong said, she glared at Zhao Rong, and finally nodded lightly, glanced at her, and the next second, she suddenly stood up and walked towards her.

Ye Lanzhi's expression froze and her body completely stiffened.
