The young white face has a deep understanding of Taoism.

  An Yan couldn't help but want to laugh. The scene just now was too dramatic, too funny. From the little girl appearing, to choosing Su San, and then Su San wanting people to call him brother. It really was a laugh point every step of the way, but since they were on the main street, An Yan could only press her lips together. However, the thick laughter in her eyes couldn't be hidden no matter what.

  Su San was also very annoyed at this moment, with a scowl on his face. However, he could only blame it on the suffocation in his heart, as he didn't dare to vent his anger on the little woman.

  After about half a catty of tea time, the three of them arrived at the gate of Li's mansion. Since Li Yuzhu was there, the three of them naturally came to the courtyard of Mrs. Li unimpeded.

  Just as the three of them reached the door, a young maid in green clothes hurried out. Sensing someone's presence, she suddenly raised her head and saw two people behind Li Yuzhu, instantly looking astonished.

  "Pay respects to the young master."

  Although he was surprised, the necessary courtesy was not lacking, and the maid in green curtsied to Li Yuzhu and asked for a peace.

  The maid in blue was taken aback, and Li Yuzhu naturally noticed it. For a moment, her eyes flashed with a faint hint of embarrassment.

  He went to invite An Yan without telling his mother in advance.

  It all started on a whim, originally just because of the turmoil in his heart, he wanted to take a walk and clear his mind. Who would have thought that this walk would lead him to the door of Baicao Hall? After pausing for a moment at the entrance of Baicao Hall, he wanted to leave, but his feet seemed rooted to the spot. At that moment, he thought it was just good to see each other's face. But after seeing each other, they wanted more contact. And so, there is the current situation now.

  The maid in blue's astonishment was only fleeting, and An Yan and Su San didn't notice.

  After the maid in green dress withdrew, Li Yuzhu led two people inside.

  As she walked into the courtyard, there were intermittent voices and soft laughter coming from inside. Li Yuzhu's ears perked up, thinking it was just her mother's maid chatting with her to cheer her up, without giving it another thought. However, as soon as she stepped into the flower hall, Li Yuzhu deeply regretted it. Because in the flower hall sat two extremely unsuitable people.

  An Yan and Su San followed closely behind Li Yuzhu, their eyes scanning the inside of the room, also immediately spotting two people they didn't particularly want to see at the moment.

  Wearing a dark green dress, Li Yutong's elegant demeanor was on full display as she spoke, bringing immense joy to Madame Li.

  Wearing a yellow dress, the lovely and cute Yin Jiu Niang was covering her mouth and giggling at this moment, looking extremely well-behaved.

  No wonder Li Yuzhu's footsteps stopped, it turned out that there were these two people in the flower hall. An Yan raised an eyebrow slightly, with a hint of amusement in his eyes, and nothing else came to mind.

  Su San glanced at the two people with a faint gaze, as if he hadn't seen them. In Su San's eyes, as long as those two people didn't bother Xiao Nü Ren, he would pretend not to have seen them. If those two people had no memory and dared to come and bother Xiao Nü Ren again, this time he would beat them until they couldn't get out of bed for a month. Having stayed on the station grounds for a long time, Su San's way of solving problems was always quick and violent. However, it must be said that sometimes Su San's problem-solving method was actually the most effective.

  The three people in the flower hall also saw the situation here, and Mrs. Li's smiling face stiffened when she saw Li Yuzhu bringing Su San and An Yan in. I suppose she couldn't have imagined that An Yan and Su San would be here today.

  Li Yutong's gaze fell lightly on An Yan and Su San, and subconsciously lingered on An Yan for a moment. That look, with a hint of ferocity and hatred, was very subtle. An Yan only felt that Li Yutong's gaze was somewhat strange, but didn't understand the meaning behind it. Su San, being highly perceptive, immediately sensed the intense hostility in Li Yutong's eyes. Instantly, Su San's heart skipped a beat, and he mentally blacklisted Li Yutong as a potential threat to be wary of.

  Yin Jiu Niang had always been arrogant and self-centered, never learning to hide her emotions or engage in subtle schemes. As a result, her hostility towards An Yan and Su San was now clearly evident. She glared at them with malice, as if she wanted to pierce a hole through An Yan's body. The moment Su San noticed, his dark eyes scanned over, his gaze cold and sharp as a knife edge, falling on Yin Jiu Niang like a physical blow. Yin Jiu Niang's body trembled slightly, her eyes shrinking back, not daring to meet Su San's gaze, hastily retreating. She still deeply feared Su San. After all, Su San's reputation in Nan Prefecture was not small. Not only was he highly skilled, but his background was also formidable, with both wealth and power that the Yin family could not match. However, this did not mean she would let go of her grudge against Su San and An Yan. As long as she had the opportunity, she would definitely take revenge on them.

  Li Yuzhu's eyes were filled with panic, and she hastily turned her head to look at An Yan, saying quickly: "I didn't know beforehand that my brother and Miss Jiu of the Yin family would be here, Mrs. Su, I really didn't know."

  Li Yuzhu's face was pale, his eyes were confused and disordered, he only felt that his heart was beating rapidly, waiting for An Yan to pass judgment. He was afraid that An Yan would misunderstand him, so at this moment, his expression and words were all excited and flustered.

  Li Yuzhu's words fell, and the reactions of the people present were different.

  Su San, although having a relatively low EQ, has a very keen and accurate sense of danger. Therefore, when he first met Li Yuzhu, he quickly and accurately sensed the potential rival. Now, Li Yuzhu's flustered expression, confused eyes, all show that he cares about the little woman's opinion. Su San's eyes flashed with sharp light, his mouth pursed tightly, like a knife edge.

  Mrs. Li had been suspicious all along, and now seeing her most beloved son like this, she suddenly felt a pang in her heart. Her eyes quickly changed color as she thought about how to alleviate the awkward situation.

  Yin Jiu Niang and Li Yu Tong exchanged a glance, but they didn't think that way, assuming Li Yu Zhu and An Yan were just good friends as husband and wife.

  "Look at me, I really don't have a good memory, it must be because of the frequent headaches recently, that's why I forgot."

  Mrs. Li suddenly spoke out at this time, saying that she had forgotten some things due to her headache symptoms, but did not elaborate on what those things were.

  Li Yuzhu naturally was extremely clever, and hastily replied: "Mother, you really have forgotten. The past two days, your headache has been unbearable, and I said that I would invite Madame Su to come over and take a look. But unexpectedly, second brother and ninth miss also came to visit mother."

  Li Yutong's eyes flashed with a strange expression. Has Mother been having severe headaches recently? He lives in the mansion, why doesn't he know at all.

  An Yan stood beside Li Yuzhu, her expression always warm and elegant, as usual. When she saw the two people in the flower hall whom she didn't like very much, her expression didn't change. Even when Li Yuzhu was excitedly explaining, it still didn't change. Upon hearing Mrs. Li's words of defense, her expression remained unchanged. However, in her eyes, there were subtle changes, and her mind was racing with thoughts. Why did Li Yuzhu lie? Why did she let herself come to the mansion to take Mrs. Li's pulse?

  She knew that encountering this situation in front of her was just a coincidence. This must not be something Li Yuzhu could have arranged, although the two had not known each other for long, but she still believed in her own vision and judgment. She believed that Li Yuzhu was a humble and polite gentleman who would not resort to such despicable means.

  She regarded Li Yuzhu as a friend, and at this moment she was willing to make amends, so she took a step forward with a smile and said: "It's okay, little woman, the elder lady's body is important. The little woman has always been concerned about the elder lady's headache symptoms, often thinking about it. It's just that during this period of time, some things happened at home, really can't get away from it, so I've been delayed all the time. Today, finally got a chance, even if the young master didn't come to invite me, the little woman would still come personally to visit the elder lady and take her pulse, only then can my heart be at ease."

  The meaning of this sentence is that no matter what, I will still come today, so encountering the current situation is also fate, and it's not anyone's fault.

  After listening to An Yan's words, Li Yuzhu's heart, which had been fluctuating up and down, suddenly softened like spring water. His eyes couldn't help but be a little dazed - such an understanding, intelligent, and elegant woman, why didn't he meet her first?

  It's just that Li Yuzhu wouldn't have thought of it at this moment. If he had met her first, he might not have liked her. At that time, the body was still inhabited by Tang Jinxiu. Such a woman, how could Li Yuzhu bear it, and how could she wait for An Yan's arrival, wait for the day when flowers bloom and brocade is woven? Maybe only someone as strange as Su San would be able to bear Tang Jinxiu and wait for An Yan.

  So sometimes what's yours is yours, and fate is a kind of destiny. Even if time were to turn back around, the outcome might not necessarily be as satisfactory as one imagines it to be.

  Mrs. Li heard An Yan's words and secretly admired her in her heart. What a clever and thoughtful woman, compared to Yin Jiu Niang, she was a hundred times better. Such a woman, if she were a chaste maiden, would be extremely well-matched with her eldest son. Unfortunately, such a good woman had already married another man. Mrs. Li sighed silently in her heart, and her gaze towards An Yan became even more loving.

  "I've long known you're a sensible person, and yet you've been thinking of me all along. I don't expect you to come and treat my illness, but if you have time, just come visit me more often, that would make this old lady very happy."

  Mrs. Li's tone was like that of an elder looking at a beloved younger generation. Her attitude was warm and gentle, her expression kind, and she quickly walked to Mrs. Li's side with quick steps, standing obediently beside her.

  Mrs. Li watched as An Yan walked towards her step by step, and saw that her posture and expression were all elegant. This woman, the most attractive thing about her had never been her appearance. Without stunning beauty, she could still leave a deep impression and make people linger. Because she had a pair of eyes clearer than lake water, because of her cleverness and intelligence, because of her every move, none of which was not beautiful. It wasn't unreasonable that the eldest son would be attracted to her. At this moment, Mrs. Li's heart was both joyful and melancholic.

  "Auntie, let Jinxiu take your pulse."

  An spoke with a gentle smile on his face, his tone soft, and stretched out one slender white hand.

  Mrs. Li's gaze fell on An Yan's hand, and her eyes lit up. It was hard to imagine that this beautiful and delicate hand could hold a sharp knife, cutting open people's chests and saving lives at the edge of life and death. Looking at these overly beautiful hands, Mrs. Li saw not bloodiness but radiance, filled with holy light.

  Aunt?

  Seeing Mrs. Li staring blankly at her own hand, An Yan couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time, and hurriedly called out to her in a low voice.

  Mrs. Li came back to her senses and subconsciously stretched out her left hand.

  An Yan looked at the left hand placed in front of her, and gently put her hand on it. After a while, she asked Mrs. Li to stretch out her right hand again, and then carefully examined it again.

  He withdrew his words and carefully asked some questions, such as how he usually slept and whether he often had headaches on cloudy days. In the end, it was roughly concluded that it should be a nervous headache.

  "Aunt's headache is not a big problem, just need to rest well, adjust your mood, relax and it will slowly get better."

  When she heard the comforting words, Mrs. Li's face revealed a bitter smile instead.

  "To be honest with you, what's even more unbearable for me than the headache is this rest. I often can't sleep all night, and it's not just one or two nights a month that I have trouble sleeping."

  Mrs. Li's words fell, and Li Yuzhu and Li Yutong had a somewhat unnatural expression on their faces.

  An softly furrowed her brow, thought for a moment and said: "I'll first prepare some calming medicine, Auntie can try taking it. Since all medicines have some toxicity, it's still best to focus on gradual nourishment. Take it for half a month first, if there's no improvement, I'll consider adding other medications."

  Mrs. Li listened and didn't mind, this headache problem has been going on for many years. After seeing so many doctors, it usually gets a little better in the first few days after taking medicine. But after a long time, it becomes the same as before. Therefore, although she knew that Dr. An's medical skills were extraordinary, she still didn't dare to have too much hope in her heart. She had also seen many famous doctors before, and she was really disappointed too many times. Nowadays, she has actually become numb to it, this headache has become a habit after so many years. At this moment, Mrs. Li comforted herself by thinking that if one day the pain really went away, she would probably not be used to it either.

  After finishing the pulse diagnosis for Mrs. Li, the atmosphere became a bit awkward again. An Yan's eyes turned slightly and said, "I'll go get the medicine for Aunt right away, let Big Brother come with me to fetch it. We can brew it as soon as we get back, hoping it will help Aunt."

  Mrs. Li also knew that An Yan was making an excuse to leave, and the loving feelings in her eyes became even more intense. Such a transparent person, if she were to be the daughter-in-law of the Li family, it would be great. However, this thought could only be thought about, and thinking about it was just a matter of the past.

  "Really troubling you, don't overexert yourself. When you're free, come to our place and sit for a bit, have a chat with this old lady."

  Mrs. Li's face was full of warm smiles as she bid farewell to An Yan, reminding him to come to the mansion often as a guest.

  With a gentle word of farewell, under the gaze of Mrs. Li's sincere and reluctant eyes, the three of them left the Li residence once again.

  As soon as they left the Li residence, Li Yuzhu quickly turned around and said to An Yan: "Thank you, Mrs. Su, for taking care of everything today."

  Li Yuzhu also knew that An Yan was aware of some things about today's events being her own doing.

  An Yan raised an eyebrow and smiled slyly: "It's just that the little woman still doesn't understand, why did the young master suddenly find her and go to her, seemingly on a whim?"

  Li Yuzhu's heart suddenly lost its rhythm, beating a little faster. His eyes flickered lightly, and the suppressed emotions in his heart almost burst out. He was about to blurt it out, wanting to tell the woman in front of him that he just wanted to be with her, nothing more. No other purpose, just being together, that's all.

  But it was just such a simple reason that he couldn't mention a word. Such an idea, for him and the woman in front of him, was undoubtedly bad news.

  Those words were about to burst out of his tongue, but in the end they were suppressed. He just smiled warmly and gently, as if he had just met her, with a humble and refined demeanor, "Because Mrs. Su's medical skills are extraordinary, who doesn't have some illness or pain? So I wanted to get along well with Mrs. Su. Today, I happened to pass by Baicao Hall and suddenly had this idea. I wonder, now that Mrs. Su knows the truth, will she dislike Yuzhu for being too powerful?"

  As she spoke, Li Yuzhu gazed at An Yan with her warm and gentle eyes, like clear jade. She scrutinized the expression in An Yan's eyes, as if any hint of displeasure would cause her own eyes to reveal a hurtful look.

  On the one hand, Su San couldn't bear to look at this little white face anymore. He was obviously up to no good, yet he managed to put on a righteous and dignified appearance. Suddenly, a sense of crisis arose in Su San's heart. It seemed that this little white face was not to be underestimated, and he had to be careful.

  Su San's response strategy was like a military campaign, swift and decisive, nipping all dangers in the bud.

  Then Su San stood out again, standing in front of An Yan, covering An Yan's slender body completely.

  "Master Li, we won't mind. However, after a short while, my wife and I will have to leave Qingcheng for Nangong. At that time, it's uncertain whether we can still be of assistance to Master Li."

  Su San felt that her words were straightforward enough. The little woman would eventually leave Qingcheng anyway. By then, the two of you won't be able to see each other, so how can you maintain a good relationship?

  Li Yuzhu's eyes dimmed slightly, her heart felt a faint bitterness, but her face showed an effort to appear calm and serene.

  "Mr. Su seems to have misunderstood something."

  Su San was about to burst with rage, misunderstanding? What misunderstanding, what he said was clearly the voice of your little white face. Not recognizing the situation, not retreating in a hurry, still dawdling around here. Actually wanting to turn the tables, it's simply unreasonable.
