The First Appearance

Madam Ye immediately looked at her daughter's hand.

When she saw the red mark on her daughter's fair hand and even a little nail mark, she could not help but frown.

"Ye Yining, come to your mother's side."

Ye Yining obediently walked to her mother's side and took the initiative to explain, 

"Mother, Jun Jiuji is still injured. How could he have the time to force me? It was me who suddenly realized. Mother, you don't know, but he was actually the one who saved me at Changling Temple…"

"Also, the mysterious person who gave me the antidote two years ago was actually Jun Jiuji, not Mo Huanchong… Even the person who saved me in the snake cave last year was Jun Jiuji…"

Madam Ye was shocked and her expression was complicated. Wasn't Mo Huanchong the one who saved her daughter?

After she came back to her senses, she glanced at Su Yu 'er.

Panic flashed across Su Yu 'er's eyes as she hurriedly said, 

"Ye Yining, you were already unconscious at that time, how did you know it was Jun Jiuji? Jun Jiuji has always been sick and weak, and he doesn't know martial arts. You also said that the person who saved you is strong in martial arts. Is it… Could it be that Jun Jiuji is faking his illness?"

At this point, she suddenly widened her eyes in surprise.

Ye Yining cast a meaningful glance at Su Yuer, who was putting on an act.

"Yu 'er, you're always smart. There are times when you're stupid. In the past, I was able to recognize the wrong person because of your misjudgment and guidance. It was also because Jun Jiuji was sick and weak. But how can I be sure that I've recognized the wrong person? Of course, it's because I suddenly recognized a hidden guard beside Jun Jiuji. His figure and voice were exactly the same as the person who saved me back then, and the token I gave him back then…"

Su Yu 'er looked at her with an ugly expression. 

"Are you sure?"

Didn't she never suspect anything before?

Why did she suddenly become smarter?

Who was the one who secretly reminded this idiot Ye Yining?

When Ye Yining saw Su Yu 'er's questioning gaze, her tone was also mixed with some anger. 

"Yu-er, I found the right savior. Why are you unhappy? Are you looking at me with a dark face now? I didn't even blame you for making me mistake my savior! I've given Mo Huanchong so many good things in the past. It's all your fault!"

Su Yu 'er's expression turned even worse after being reprimanded by Ye Yining in front of everyone.

Ye Yining wasn't like this in the past.

She had never spoken loudly or softly to her and had always been protective of her.

Ye Yunjiao, who was standing at the side, saw that Ye Yining had developed a grudge against Su Yuer. She curled her lips slightly and muttered to herself.

"Sister said before that she wanted to marry her savior. Then is Sister going to marry the secret guard who saved her?"

If that was the case, that would be great!

Ye Yining gently pulled her mother's hand and looked at Ye Yunjiao with confusion. 

"Mother, Yunjiao has been sick since she was young and has never gone to school properly. Find her a teacher and let her go to a female school!"

Ye Yunjiao was suddenly stunned.

"What do you mean? Are you calling me ignorant? Are you still my sister?"

Her voice was so sharp that Madam Ye's face turned cold.

"Yunjiao, is this how you treat your sister? You should go to a girls' school. The secret guards were naturally there to protect Jun Jiuji. Without Jun Jiuji's orders, how could the secret guards leave their master's side to save someone? The only one who could save her was Jun Jiuji. Aren't you uncomfortable this morning? Go back to your room first!"

Ye Yunjiao clenched her fists in anger.

Was she that shameful? This woman wanted her to go back to her room again.

Su Yu 'er was in an awkward situation at the moment, but when she saw Ye Yunjiao being chased back to her room, she quickly went forward to comfort her. 

"Is Yunjiao not feeling well? Let me help you take a look!"

Ye Yunjiao nodded. 

"Thank you, Sister Su."

Ye Yining smiled meaningfully as she watched the two of them leave.

The two of them only had a good relationship on the surface, but in reality, they were also using each other.

In her previous life, Ye Yunjiao was pregnant with Mo Huanchong's child, but she died in his hands.

On the other hand, Su Yu 'er, the pure and noble white lotus, stepped on Mo Huanchong and became the Crown Princess, enjoying the glory.

She wouldn't let Ye Yunjiao off, nor would she let this white lotus off!

Madam Ye saw that her daughter was in a low mood, so she dismissed the servant and called her into the room.

"Ye Yining, are you sure? Was the person who saved you really Jun Jiuji?"

If that was really the case, then the things in the past were not that simple.

Ye Yining nodded seriously. 

"Mother, I'm very sure. Mother, let me tell you another secret. You must be calm after hearing it…"

As she spoke, she leaned close to her mother's ear and whispered softly.

Madam Ye's expression changed again and again, but she quickly calmed down.

"As expected, she knows. I was wondering why she had been looking at me so strangely recently."

"Mother, don't be sad!"

"Mother is fine. It's just that Mo Huanchong…"

"Rather than fighting with her over that hypocrite Mo Huanchong, I would rather marry Jun Jiuji." Ye Yining expressed her stance.

Madam Ye pondered for a moment and hugged her daughter with a heartache. 

"Mother knows. My Ye Yining has grown up. Mother will listen to you and pay more attention too. I will also support your decision."

Ye Yining heaved a sigh of relief. She hugged her mother and whispered to her for a while before returning to the Frozen Snow Pavilion.

Back in her room, she reorganized her thoughts.

In her previous life, Ye Yunjiao told her that she had poisoned her mother with a slow-acting poison.

When did Ye Yunjiao start?

Ye Yunjiao had been sick since she was young and had never studied medicine. She didn't know many people, so the source of the medicine could only be Su Yu 'er.

Su Yu 'er's medical skills were good, even at the hospital.

As for Ye Yining, she was good at riding horses and archery. Her martial arts skills were good, and she was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, but she didn't know medicine.

She didn't even know how to identify poison.

Could it be that she had to directly invite the imperial physician to investigate?

However, not only would it be easy to alert the enemy, but they might not be able to find him.

She didn't know if it was too late for her to start learning medicine now.

Just as she was thinking, a gentle white light suddenly appeared in front of her. After the white light circled her a few times, she appeared in an ancient courtyard.

In the courtyard, a golden osmanthus tree was emitting a refreshing fragrance. A wooden house was faintly discernible in the thick fog.

Ye Yining thought she was seeing things and quickly rubbed her eyes.

When she opened her eyes again, she was still standing in the courtyard, and the osmanthus tree was still there. However, when she saw through the thick fog and saw the stone lock with the word "seal" carved on it, her eyes were filled with shock.

This wooden house, this courtyard, this huge sealing lock, why was it exactly the same as the scenery carved on the black stone statue in the ancestral hall?

She was too familiar with that black stone sculpture. Ever since she could remember, that thing had been placed in her family's ancestral hall.

She remembered that there were many houses carved on the stone sculpture, and on the door of each house was a big lock with the word "seal" written on it.

In addition, there was also an osmanthus tree in the courtyard of the main house on the stone sculpture. In the past, she always felt that she could smell the osmanthus fragrance on the stone sculpture.

She wasn't asleep right now, was she? Was she dreaming?

Just as she was doubting herself, the osmanthus tree in the courtyard suddenly shook its trunk and spoke.

"Master has the heart to learn medicine. It's never too late. The spirit osmanthus in the courtyard has the effect of detoxifying poison. The owner can use it to make tea and drink."

"Who is it?"

Ye Yining was shocked and took a few steps back.
