It was still early when they came out of the palace. The sun was slowly setting and the temple fair hadn't started yet. Ming Xi looked down at Ming Yu, "Let's go to uncle's house first, then we'll go to the temple fair later."
After leaving the palace, the palace servants had already prepared a carriage for Ming Yu. However, when she saw that Ming Xi and the others were riding horses, she didn't want to sit in the carriage. She left Ning Xiang and Han Lu in the carriage while she and Ming Xi rode on the same horse.
"Cousin, are you coming with us?" Ming Yu asked.
"No, it's Jin 'er, the girl I mentioned to you last time. When you see her, you'll definitely like her," Ming Xi said with a smile.
Ming Yu turned back to look at Ming Xi, "I don't know if I'll like her, but you seem to like her a lot."
"You're my sister, so is she. What's wrong with liking her?" Ming Xi asked in a low voice.
"I'm not …" Ming Yu snorted softly and muttered.
Ming Xi looked at the sky, "I can't take you out to play now. I'll show you something fun at night."
"What is it?" Ming Yu asked curiously.
"I won't tell you now. You'll find out tonight," Ming Xi said with a smile, "Sit tight."
Ming Xi increased his speed and the Fire Phoenix followed closely behind him.
Soon, they arrived at the Ye residence.
"Come down." Ming Xi carried Ming Yu off the horse.
"Why are you so much taller than me?" Ming Yu stood in front of Ming Xi. Only today did she realize that he was already a head taller than her. They were born on the same day, so how could there be such a huge difference?
Ming Xi laughed, "I'm a boy, so of course I'm taller."
"Brother Sheng can't grow taller," Ming Yu said, pointing at Ye Mucheng.
Ye Mucheng looked innocent. He was younger than them, so what was wrong with being shorter?
Ming Xi rubbed Ming Yu's head, "Let's go."
"…" Ming Yu was stunned. Looking at Ming Xi's back, she raised her hand to touch her head. That feeling was familiar and warm. She seemed to remember the days when she liked to follow behind Ming Xi.
"If you were the one who was taken, would you want your mother to save you or stay with Ming Xi?"
Mo Rongzhan's words suddenly flashed in her mind. Ming Yu shook her head forcefully, unwilling to think about it.
No matter what, it was a fact that she had been abandoned.
"Cousin, let's go in," Ye Mucheng, who was walking in front, called out.
Ming Yu forced a smile and slowly walked into the Ye Clan's front door. Hearing footsteps behind her, she turned around and saw an extremely good-looking boy.
"What's wrong?" Fire Phoenix frowned at Mingyu's stare. Was his face dirty?
"I've never seen you before," Mingyu said.
Fire Phoenix smiled, "You have never seen me, but I have seen you."
When Ming Xi and Ming Yu were still in Ye Zhen's belly, he had seen them several times. Their birth was the rebirth of his primordial spirit. At that time, his primordial spirit chose Ming Xi, but because Ming Xi and Ming Yu were twins, it still affected Ming Yu somewhat.
"You've seen me? When? " Ming Yu thought that she had a good memory. If she had seen him before, it was impossible for her to forget him.
Fire Phoenix chuckled, "A long time ago, when you were still very young."
"Nonsense." Ming Yu scolded softly, "You look the same age as me. Don't talk as if you watched me grow up."
He had really watched her grow up.
"Ming Yu, come here." Ming Xi urged from the front.
"Coming." Ming Yu frowned at Fire Phoenix, feeling that what he said was not true at all.
Fire Phoenix smiled and shook her head, slowly following behind them.
When they came to the hall, they only saw Ye Yiqing and An Ge. Ye Zhen and San 'er were not here. Several children came forward to greet them. Ye Yiqing said that San' er had been taken to the backyard and asked Ming Xi to look for her there.
"Ming Yu, wait for me here. I'll go to the backyard to find San 'er." Ming Xi said to Ming Yu.
"I'll go with you and find Sister Xin. I haven't seen her for several days." Ming Yu said.
The brother and sister went to the backyard again. They looked around the garden but did not see San 'er. Ming Xi let Ming Yu go to his aunt first while he went to find San' er.
Ming Yu often came to Ye's house in the past few years. It was like her second home, so she was familiar with every road here.
There was only one place here that she would not go, and that was a courtyard called Tao Zhi Yao Yao.
Every time she went to find Sister Xin, she would pass by here. Before, she didn't even look at it, but today, for some reason, she couldn't help but stop at the door.
As if sensing something, she walked into this courtyard for the first time in four years.
"Madam, can I wear this dress to go out?"
"No! This dress is not suitable to wear here. "
"What about this one?"
"You can't …"
"But I have all these clothes, and they all have defensive functions."
"Let me see if there is any space left. I have prepared a lot of clothes for my daughter."
"…"
When Ming Yu heard this, she already knew who the familiar voice was. Her body stiffened and she wanted to turn her head and leave, but her legs seemed to be out of her control. Unconsciously, she took a few steps closer.
She saw Ye Zhen inside the window. Beside her was a girl with a peach blossom face. She looked young, at most, about the same age as her.
Ye Zhen was helping her dress, with a gentle smile on her face.
"This dress is very beautiful." Shang 'er cried happily, looking up at Ye Zhen. "Madam, do you want me to wear this?"
"Well, I will comb your hair again." Ye Zhen looked at Shang 'er's pure smile. If it was Ming Yu, she would definitely like it. "In the future, you must live like a little girl here, or you will be seen by others."
Shang 'er nodded seriously. "I will, madam."
"All right." Ye Zhen straightened the bangs in front of Shang 'er's forehead. "It's beautiful."
"Madam is also beautiful." Shang 'er said with a smile. Suddenly, she looked out of the window. "Hey, that little girl looks like you."
Ye Zhen had her back to the window. When she heard Shang 'er say this, she looked back in surprise and saw Ming Yu's indifferent face.
"Ming Yu, when did you come?" Ye Zhen was delighted, thinking that Ming Yu came to find her.
Ming Yu looked at Shang 'er, a touch of hurt flashed in her eyes, then she turned and ran away.
"Why did she leave?" Shang 'er asked doubtfully.
Ye Zhen had already chased after her. "Ming Yu, wait a minute."
"It turned out to be Ming Yu." Shang 'er heard Ye Zhen's words and knew that it was Ming Xi's sister. She jumped out of the window and appeared in front of Ming Yu. "What are you running for?"
