She had never missed Mo Rongzhan so much. She thought that even without him by her side, she could still live a good life. Now she knew that with him by her side, she would feel at ease. Mo Rongzhan was a strange place, a strange bed, and a person was missing from her side. Ye Zhen couldn't sleep well while holding the white egg.
Ye Zhen looked at the white egg in her arms and gently stroked it. A warm temperature came from the palm of her hand. She sighed softly in her heart. She really hoped to find her son soon. She missed Mo Rongzhan and her daughter so much in the human world.
Her daughter liked to stick to her most. She didn't know if she would cry to find her.
The more Ye Zhen thought about it, the sadder she became. She had to force herself not to think too much. She didn't know how long it took before she fell asleep in a daze. The sky was bright and she had already woken up. Afraid that someone would see the white egg, she hurriedly put it back into the space.
The tortoise heard movement in the room and walked in lightly. When she saw that Ye Zhen had dressed, she hurriedly said, "Third Miss, this slave didn't know you were awake."
"It's all right. Fetch water for me to wash my face." Ye Zhen said lightly. The tortoise was obviously not a servant. She should just do some rough work in the yard. She would not expect this little maid to be as careful and considerate as Dai Mei.
Besides, the fact that they were willing to let her have a maid to order around was already good enough, right?
"I want to go out for a walk." Ye Zhen's breakfast consisted of only two steamed buns and a bowl of porridge. It seemed that the kitchen did not know that there was a third miss in the house, but they did not put her in their eyes.
"Third Miss, where do you want to go?" The tortoise asked nervously.
Ye Zhen smiled. "Just outside, I won't go too far."
The tortoise said, "This slave will accompany you."
"Good." Ye Zhen smiled faintly. The original owner seemed to have a brother. However, she had been back for so long, and she had not seen him. It seemed that the so-called brother's feelings for his sister were just like that.
Speaking of which, the original owner was actually quite pitiful. Her parents died when she was born, and she was taken away from home by her wet nurse for so many years. It was estimated that the original owner knew that there would be no good days in the Ye family, otherwise she would not have left her behind.
Ye Zhen walked out of the small courtyard. When she was brought in yesterday, she only knew that this mansion was bigger than her Yuan Kingdom's palace. Today, she discovered that the architectural pattern here was actually no different from the mansions in the human world, just a few more.
"Third Miss, you can't go ahead." The tortoise followed Ye Zhen closely. Seeing that she was going to the direction of the garden, she hurriedly stopped her.
"What is this place?" Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows and asked. Yesterday, she only heard Ye Mulan say that she could not go to the Four Corners Garden. She didn't know if there was anything to avoid.
The tortoise said softly, "Over there … Over there is the Spring Garden. Eldest Miss and the others often train there. They don't let anyone else in."
"Do you need an identity to enter the garden?" Ye Zhen asked, amused. It seemed that the Ye family had many rules.
"I … I heard that you need the Eldest Young Lady's permission to enter. The Old Master bestowed the Spring Garden to the Eldest Young Lady for her daily cultivation," said the Hawksbill Turtle.
Ye Zhen had already walked to the door of the garden, but she did not go in. "Is the Eldest Miss very powerful?"
The tortoise's eyes seemed to shine. "Third Miss, you don't know yet. The Eldest Miss is already at the peak of the initial realm before she reaches the age of 15. I heard that she is the proud disciple of the Great Saint Sect's Beast Controlling Elder. That's why the Old Master values the Eldest Miss so much. Both the Eldest Young Master and the Eldest Miss are extremely powerful."
"Oh." Ye Zhen nodded. She could not empathize with the tortoise because she did not know what the peak of the initial realm was. However, even a little maid knew that Ye Mulan's status in the Ye family was different. It seemed that she must be very powerful.
"Since we can't go in here, let's go somewhere else." Ye Zhen said lightly.
"Third Sister!"
Ye Zhen was about to turn and leave when Ye Mulan's voice suddenly came.
"It's the Eldest Miss." The tortoise said nervously.
Ye Mulan swayed as she walked over. Today, she wore a bright yellow dress with butterfly sleeves and a skirt embroidered with green branches and pearls, which made her look even more delicate and fair. However, when she saw Ye Zhen, the smile on her face visibly froze.
When Ye Zhen was brought back yesterday, the traces of the disguise on her face were not completely removed. Yesterday, she had used the spiritual spring water and completely revealed her jade-like face. Even though she was wearing plain clothes, she did not pale in comparison to Ye Mulan.
"Third Sister, you look very different today from yesterday." Ye Mulan was proud not only of her cultivation but also of her title as the most beautiful woman in Western Continent City. However, in front of Ye Zhen, her title as the most beautiful woman seemed to be unable to withstand scrutiny.
Ye Zhen pretended to lower her head shyly. "What's different?"
"Do you want to come into the garden? I'll take you in. " Ye Mulan looked at Ye Zhen's timid appearance and remembered that she was a wastrel who did not even have a Sea of Qi in her dantian. What was the use of being beautiful? In the Xuantian Continent, no matter how beautiful one was, if one did not have any cultivation techniques, others would still look down on her.
"Actually, I am …" Ye Zhen wanted to refuse, but Ye Mulan had already taken her hand and entered the door.
"It just so happens that the second prince is a guest today. He has just received a Luan bird. You used to live in the mountains, so you should not have had the opportunity to see the Art of Controlling Animals. Today, you can broaden your horizons." Ye Mulan said with a smile. Ye Zhen could not refuse and was taken to the waterside pavilion by the lake.
Only then did Ye Zhen realize that Ye Mulan was not the only one here. In addition to her, there were several men and women she had not seen yesterday.
"Mulan, who are you going to bring?" The one who spoke was a man in a maroon brocade robe. He had a round face and looked like a pampered young master.
"This is the third sister whom eldest brother brought back yesterday. Her name is Ye Zhen." Ye Mulan said with a smile. She pointed to the young man in a royal blue brocade robe standing in the middle. "Third sister, this is the second prince. Quickly greet the second prince."
Ye Zhen lowered her eyes. She did not even see what the second prince looked like. She bent her knees and bowed. "Greetings, second prince."
"Rise." The second prince's voice was indifferent. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Ye Zhen. He said to Ye Mulan, "Is she the one who was conferred the title of princess on your behalf and arranged a marriage with Haotian City?"
"Second prince …" Ye Mulan glared at the second prince. "Third sister still does not know about this."
"It is her honor. It is better to know earlier." The second prince said lightly.
Ye Zhen narrowed her eyes slightly. What? Arranged marriage?
"Sister Lan, so this is the third sister you mentioned. When did you bring her back? Why didn't I know?" Another girl present asked in a somewhat sour tone.
