Xue Fanxin did not know where the Ghost King had taken Yi Fentian. She would not waste too much effort on things she had no control over. If she had the ti, she might as well spend all her energy on cultivation or do sothing she was confident in.
The next day, people from the four great families sward to the Ninth Lord’s Estate. Every family carried more than ten large chests.
“Your Highness, the four great families have sent many gifts to thank you for saving their lives, including the Yi family. Will you accept them?” As Ye Jiushang was not around, Zhuri would report many things to Xue Fanxin and listen to her orders.
“Yes, of course. If I don’t accept riches coming to my door, I’d be a fool. Besides, I worked hard to save those people. They should pay well. Let’s go and see their sincerity. Hehe, I’ll have windfall today.” Xue Fanxin was thrilled and put down what she was doing.
The four great families seed to have discussed it beforehand and chose the sa ti to give gifts. Furthermore, the value was basically the sa. No family had more or less.
The representatives were the few who had been trapped in the tomb. Bai Han, Lian Fangcheng, and Xue Hanxi had all co, except for Yi Fentian. The Yi family had sent another person, who was the new Young Master of the Yi family, Yi Fenyun.
This Yi Fenyun looked a little similar to Yi Fentian, but his temperant was different. Yi Fentian was arrogant, while Yi Fenyun was elegant and quiet. He seed aloof from worldly affairs. His appearance made people feel comfortable.
“Ninth Imperial Consort, I’m Yi Fenyun. On behalf of the Yi family, I’d like to present you with a thank-you gift. Thank you, Ninth Imperial Consort, for saving our Yi family.”
“You’re Yi Fenyun?” Xue Fanxin placed her attention on Yi Fenyun and tried her best to recall the past. She felt that the Xue Fanxin of the past had seen Yi Fenyun before, but her impression was blurry. She could not rember it clearly.
She vaguely recalled that the reason Xue Fanxin had been infatuated with Yi Fentian was that many years ago, a person who looked extrely similar to him had given her a trace of sunshine-like warmth. Hence, she fell head over heels for him.
Could there be a misunderstanding?
“Yes, I’m Yi Fenyun. I am… Yi Fentian’s half-brother.” Yi Fenyun paused for a mont, and his expression changed a little, but he quickly hid it.
“About five years ago, did you go to the Nanling Empire outside the Tongxuan Continent?” Xue Fanxin asked straightforwardly, wishing to resolve the doubts in her heart.
Although she was the real Xue Fanxin, so mories were too vague. Even the past her could not rember them clearly, let alone the current her.
Yi Fenyun did not know why Xue Fanxin would ask such a question, but he did not delve into it and replied, “Yes, I indeed went to the Nanling Empire and stayed in the Imperial City for a while.”
“Then do you rember… peach blossom pastry?”
“Peach blossom pastry?” Yi Fanyun tried his best to recall. He did have a little mory of that peach blossom pastry. “Your Highness, are you referring to the pastry at the peach blossom granny’s stall in Willow Alley on East Street?”
On his visit to the empire, he caught a whiff of peach blossom pastry on East Street and bought so to try. He could not forget the taste even now.
Unfortunately, that peach blossom granny passed away in less than two years. From then on, he had never been able to eat it again.
However, why would the Ninth Consort ntion this to him?
