Before the person got close, Yu Yanlan saw the brightly lit house not far away, which seemed to be able to swallow a person in one bite. Yu Yanlan's steps forward couldn't help but slow down, and her eyes became a little stunned.

She grew up here, and more than ten years later, the appearance of this mansion has never changed, but it is no longer a thing. Today's Hou Mansion is just a mansion for her. As for the warm, homely memories of her childhood, they have long been blurred by the years, and even if she tries to recall them, they are only vague shadows after all.

"Miss, it's getting late, we should go back. The maid reminded Yu Yanlan in his ear, but did not get the expected response.

"Miss?" Xu was worried, and the maid's voice became urgent. The rules of the house are strict, and if you can't return to the house on time, I'm afraid you will be punished.

Yu Yanlan came back to her senses as if she had just woken up from a dream, but saw that her personal maid was looking at her with a confused expression. Yu Yanlan raised her eyebrows and walked towards the Hou Mansion without saying a word.

As expected, as soon as she returned home, she ushered in a stinking scolding from her father Wei Yong, accompanied by her stepmother Qin's oil and vinegar, cynicism. Wei Yanlan has long been surprised by these things, but the left ear is just in the right ear, but she didn't expect that she would be bumped into by her cousin when she was being trained.

"Xun'er has seen uncle, aunt. The man in his fine costume did not enter the house, but stood quietly by the door, folding his hands in a saluting gesture.

Yu Yanlan saw that her father and mother-in-law changed their expressions in an instant. The smile on his face was almost overflowing, and he felt extremely disgusting when he looked at it.

"It's Xun'er here, come in and sit down, Lan'er is still stunned what to do, why don't you pour a cup of tea for your cousin." Wei Yong didn't hide his respectful posture at all, even if he was the brother of the dignified Huainan Hou, but he was just a concubine without a title, and he was always respectful to Wei Xun, who had the title of the son.

Yu Yanlan turned around and left expressionlessly.

"You!" Wei Yong was so angry that his face turned a little whiter, and he had to give up the idea of disposing of his daughter for the time being, and was busy dealing with the nephew in front of him who he easily dared not offend.

"Father asked me if there is any shortage of things here in the uncle's place, these days he is busy with official business, he can't come to visit the uncle, and ask the uncle to blame, Xun'er is here to apologize for his old man's house. Wei Xun's expression was indifferent, as if he didn't take Yu Yanlan's departure into his eyes.

"Master Hou is too polite, they are all his own brothers, how can I care about this ...... with him" Wei Yong had a grateful smile on his face, but there was a trace of unnaturalness on the face of the Qin family on the side.

Then there was another greeting and intimacy, and after the greetings, Wei Xun left under the pretext of having a prior trip. It's just that he hadn't gone far before he was stopped by a woman with a blank face.

"I said a long time ago that I don't need you to meddle in my affairs, and I don't need you to sympathize with me. Yu Yanlan's eyes widened and she looked at the man in front of her who was a head taller than herself, her lips pursed slightly, and she looked like she was going to lose her temper.

Seeing this scene, Wei Xun showed a relaxed smile, "My cousin said that Yu Xun was just ordered by his father to visit his uncle." ”

"Really, didn't you see my father and stepmother scolding me, so they said to help me out of the siege?"

"How dare my uncle's family affairs Wei Xun interfere. Yu Xun said softly, his good-looking eyes looked straight at Yu Yanlan.

Yu Yanlan didn't say anything more, but deliberately avoided Wei Xun's gaze, and her momentum weakened for no reason, "I'm just an arrogant and domineering woman who doesn't know how to be polite, and I don't deserve the ...... of the world."

"My cousin is laughing again, but I don't mention the family relationship between you and me, and the acquaintance for many years can't make me ignore my cousin's affairs. ”

Yu Yanlan hooked the corners of her lips and barely squeezed out a wry smile, "It's not too early, it's better for you to go back early." "I left without looking back.

……

Prime Minister's Mansion.

Bai Zhiheng tossed and turned on the bed several times, but he could never sleep peacefully, so he simply put on his clothes and got up.

When you open the door, you will see a plum tree standing tall. At this time, the plum tree is not in full bloom, but the current one is growing well because it is very well cared for. Bai Zhiheng looked at the plum tree a little distractedly, looking at it, but somehow his eyes were a little wet.

This plum tree was given to him by a person for his birthday more than ten years ago. It can't be said to be a multi-expensive variety, but it was found by that person with several twists and turns. Over the years, he didn't know what the man's situation was, but this plum tree had been growing quietly and elegantly here, and when he was not at ease, he would come to see this plum tree, and the people in the prime minister's mansion also treated this tree as a treasure.

"Grandfather, why haven't you slept so late? It was Bai Zhiheng's eldest granddaughter Bai Yuwei who spoke out, if Su Qi was present, it would not be difficult to recognize this person as the stunning woman she saw in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion today.

"Why are you here?" Seeing his granddaughter appear here in the middle of the night, Bai Zhiheng was slightly surprised, but there was no superfluous expression on his face.

"Granddaughter, I couldn't sleep, I wanted to walk around, but I didn't expect to walk and walk here. Bai Yuwei's face was a little shy, as innocent and pitiful as a young girl who had done something wrong.

"If you have made a mistake, go back and rest. Bai Zhiheng has never been a person who talks much, he doesn't say much to outsiders, and most of his eyes are not smiling in front of his family.

Although she had long been accustomed to her grandfather's indifferent attitude, Bai Yuwei still felt a little awkward in her heart, but she had always been well-behaved this time she still obediently listened to her grandfather's words, and after saluting Bai Zhiheng, she turned around and left.

In vain, Bai Zhiheng's slightly lonely figure stood in place.

Today, Bai Yuwei did not walk under the plum tree on a whim, but because she felt that she seemed to see a familiar figure today. Even though the figure hadn't appeared in front of her eyes for more than ten years, it had never faded from her mind. She was about to tell her grandfather about it, but when she saw the deep longing for her grandfather when he looked at the plum tree, she silently swallowed the words back into her stomach.

Although her father and the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion never said anything to her, she was not ignorant of her aunt, who had been missing for many years and whose fate was unknown. Recently, she heard that her grandfather had found her aunt's daughter and was going to take her back to the house. She wasn't sure if the familiar figure she saw was her aunt's daughter, but she knew that she didn't want to see it happen.

Although she was young back then, she also saw with her own eyes how much her grandfather loved that aunt, and if she brought someone back this time, it would be difficult to guarantee that he would not love the house and Wu, and transfer his love for her aunt to her aunt's daughter. The more Bai Yuwei thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt, and she couldn't sleep after returning to her yard.
