Five years ago, he secretly returned to the capital with his aunt to visit Master Bai, only to find that Master Bai was dead and the Bai family had fallen into ruin. Penniless, they were turned away by Madam Bai. A woman generously helped him, giving him a bag of silver. He secretly followed the woman and discovered that she was actually Bai Yehua's fiancée—Mu Chenyu!
Now that Bai Yehua has passed away, and he still longs for Shen Yu, why not wait three years and marry her?
Seeing Shen Yu looking at him expectantly, her large almond-shaped eyes like a clear spring, stirring his heart, he couldn't help but blush slightly. He nodded repeatedly and warned in a deep voice, "If there is a next time, I will not let you off easily."

Chen Yu scoffed again.
Seeing this, Bai Yejing hurriedly waved for the constables to leave, then pulled his aunt aside and whispered a warning: "Aunt, don't talk nonsense if you don't know the truth. My sister-in-law has nine brothers who are all in business, and she herself owns dozens of shops and more villas than my eldest brother. This huge Cheng Garden does not belong to my eldest brother. Please don't trespass on it again."
"So that's why Jing'er is biased towards her?"
