Since the other party had already put it this way, Ye Moxun couldn't pretend he couldn't remember anymore. He pretended to recall for a moment and then said that he remembered who she was.
"I do recall meeting the girl twice by chance." But they weren't close.
"My name is Bai Zhiyan, and this is my younger sister, Bai Zhiyi. I know your name is Ye Moxun, and you are the third child in the Ye family." Bai Zhiyan seemed to be a formidable character.
Ye Moxun felt that he had never been a significant presence in the Ye family. As a child, he was too weak, and from his grandparents to the servants, they all ignored him. Even his own father had almost forgotten his existence.
Despite being so seemingly invisible, Bai Zhiyan not only knew his name but could also recognize him at a glance after all these years. This man was not to be underestimated.
Back at the inn, he didn't see Song Tantan and Song Zhuiyan downstairs. Knowing they must be hiding in their rooms eating, he went upstairs to look for them.
He knocked on Song Zhuiyan's door and heard the people inside say to come in, so he pushed the door open and went in. Sure enough, he saw them sitting at the table, engrossed in eating. The food on the table was quite plentiful.
"Ah Xun, come and eat with us. You must be hungry after a busy morning." Song Zhuiyan took out a bowl and chopsticks from her spatial storage and placed them in the empty space next to her.
After the three finished breakfast, they prepared to continue their journey. Just as they were about to go downstairs, Bai Zhiyan knocked on the door, and Ye Moxun opened it.
Her eyes were red, as if she had been crying, and she said in a low voice, "Third Brother Ye, one of my guards and a maid has suddenly developed a high fever. We really don't know what to do. We're not familiar with this area. Do you know which road to take to the nearest town? I need to take them to see a doctor."
Ye Moxun lowered his eyes and remained silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Where is he? Take me to see him."
"Huh? What did you say?" Bai Zhiyan looked at him blankly.
Just a moment ago, he thought this person was quite smart, but in the blink of an eye, he couldn't understand what she was saying. Ye Moxun lifted his eyelids, somewhat unwilling to pay attention to her.
At this moment, Song Tantan spoke up, "Didn't you want to find a doctor? Why go to such lengths? There's one right in front of you."
"Brother Ye, you know medicine?" Bai Zhiyan was somewhat surprised.
Song Tantan clicked her tongue. "What's so strange about that? Why ask so many questions? Do you still want to cure your guards and maids?"
"Thank you very much, Brother Ye. Please follow me." Bai Zhiyan quickly realized what was happening and led the way, guiding Ye Mo to the guest room where the guards were staying.
After everyone had walked away, Song Zhuiyan looked at Song Tantan with a half-smile, "You seem to have a lot of hostility towards the Bai family. What did she do to offend you?"
"That's not true. I just think that person is always putting on an act and isn't decisive at all," Song Tantan denied outright.
"You've only met her three times and haven't had much contact with her. How do you know her so well? Was she putting on an act in front of you?" Song Zhuiyan seemed to have discovered something and pressed for an answer.
Song Tantan's eyes flickered. She was a little annoyed by the question, but she couldn't do anything about it, so she had to tell the truth, "I don't know why, I just can't stand her. Ye Moxun and she are not even familiar with each other, but she insists on pretending to be very familiar. I think she has ulterior motives."
"So you dislike her because of A-Xun," Song Zhuiyan said with certainty.
Song Tantan instinctively wanted to refute, but after opening her mouth, she ultimately said nothing. It seemed to be true; how could Ye Moxun be so close to others? The sight of the two of them, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, standing together and talking was truly an eyesore.
Oh dear, she can't let others hear this, otherwise they'll definitely think she has feelings for Ye Moxun. She doesn't even understand her own feelings yet.
Why does she feel uncomfortable seeing other girls showing affection to A-Xun, and subconsciously want to target them? Tsk tsk, it seems like she treats Ye Moxun as her possession.
But Ye Moxun is a person, not an object. Why should she possess him exclusively, unless... she likes him and wants to take him in?
Upon figuring out this result, Song Tantan looked horrified and shook her head in disbelief. So she had already had feelings for Ye Moxun all along?
Oh dear, what should I do? How could she fall for him first?
No, she absolutely cannot let anyone see her feelings before she is certain whether Ye Moxun also likes her. Yes, that's it.
Watching her niece's varied expressions over the course of a few breaths, Song Zhuiyan shook her head, unable to bear the sight. She wondered what the girl was thinking; her expression was truly fascinating.
One moment he stared wide-eyed in sudden realization, the next he gasped in shock, then seemed startled by his own words, and finally, as if confirming something, he breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.
"Are you alright?" Song Zhuiyan reached out and touched her forehead. Her temperature was normal; she didn't have a fever.
"Auntie, I'm perfectly fine, don't worry about me," Song Tantan said absentmindedly as she stood up and walked towards the door. "I'm going to check on how A-Xun is doing. Auntie, are you coming?" She turned back at the door to ask.
"Go by yourself, I'm going to lie down for a while longer." I feel lazy after eating and don't want to move.
Song Tantan strode quickly toward Bai Zhiyan's guest room. At that moment, Ye Moxun was taking the pulse of a maid. The maid lived in the room in the far corner. When Song Tantan arrived, she saw that the door was not closed, so she went straight in.
"The fever is caused by a deep wound. The wound needs to be cleaned again, re-medicated and bandaged. After treating the wound, we'll decoct a dose of fever-reducing medicine for her and give it to her. Once the high fever goes down, she'll be fine." Ye Moxun stood up and wiped his hands with a handkerchief. He was a bit of a germaphobe and always liked to wipe his hands with a handkerchief after touching anything.
He did the same thing after taking the guard's pulse. Bai Zhiyan and Bai Zhiyi noticed his actions but pretended not to see them and didn't say anything.
"Brother Ye, please help me write a prescription so that I can have the guards go to the nearby city to get the medicine." Bai Zhiyan bit her lip, her tone pleading. The guards and maids were injured so badly because they had taken a knife for her. She had to save them, otherwise, how could she live with herself?
“I have the medicine. I can send someone to pick it up,” Ye Moxun said indifferently, looking away from her. “Don’t call me Third Brother Ye anymore. I’m not used to it. Just call me Young Master Ye.”
Bai Zhiyan's pretty face paled, and she looked somewhat embarrassed, but she quickly regained her composure and replied gently, "Yes, Young Master Ye, I understand."
Ye Moxun nodded, turned and left, but paused when he reached Song Tantan. "What are you doing here? Want to help serve her maid?"
Song Tantan: "..." She must have been bewitched just now. How could she think she liked him?
"Hmph, I can go wherever I want, it's none of your business." How dare he embarrass her in front of other girls! Song Tantan angrily shoved him and then ran away.
Ye Moxun was pushed and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, he regained his balance in time and avoided embarrassment. He closed his eyes, his forehead covered in black lines. He was so angry that he laughed, and he really laughed.
"Young Master Ye, are you alright?" Bai Zhiyan asked with concern.
"It's alright, have someone come and get the medicine." With that, he left without looking back.
Bai Zhiyi narrowed her eyes, stepped forward and said, "Sister, this Young Master Ye and that Miss Song are quite strange."
