Now that they are strangers, they should be polite. Su Yushan had no answer, as if saying anything would be wrong, so she remained silent.
The atmosphere around them was tense. Yu Chan couldn't help but ask, "Sister, haven't you remembered your past with Brother Zheng? Actually, Brother Zheng..."
Before she could finish speaking, Su Yushan immediately interrupted, "The past is the past, there's no need to mention it again. Now I am the Fourth Prince's maid, that's an indisputable fact."
Yu Chan was too young to understand these things. She only knew that Zheng Lin and her sister were in love, but they missed each other due to unforeseen circumstances. Now her sister had lost her memory and forgotten Zheng Lin, but Zheng Lin could not let go of that relationship, which was truly a pity.
Afraid of upsetting her sister, Yu Chan quickly shut up, "Okay! I understand, sister, please don't be angry, I won't say anything out of line again."
Patting the back of her hand, Su Yushan comforted her, "Silly girl, I'm not angry with you. I just hope you understand that there's no turning back in life. We can only move forward. Dwelling on the past will only bind us."
Standing to the side, Zheng Lin understood perfectly well that Su Yushan's words were clearly meant for him. Her wish was good, and he had thought about letting go, but things didn't go as planned. Those memories were already etched in his heart, how could they be easily erased?

Looking at the pink and translucent hairpin, Yu Chan's eyes lit up. "What beautiful pink beads! I like them very much. Thank you, sister. I will definitely keep them safe."
After presenting her congratulatory gifts, Su Yushan was about to take her leave when she suddenly heard an angry shout from behind her, "Yushan! I've been looking everywhere for you!"
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Su Yushan felt a sense of foreboding. Turning around, she saw the figures of the Hongli brothers not far away.
Hongli, dressed in a crimson robe, stood with his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed, his face solemn, and his gaze toward her was particularly heavy, as if she had done something to offend him.
