The eyes of everyone in the room fell on her. Even though Mrs. Chen next to her kept holding her hand and talking softly, Bai Yu'an still felt a little uncomfortable.
Fortunately, after talking for a while, Ms. Chen asked a nanny to take Bai Yu'an to the yard to rest first. Bai Yu'an then stood up and said goodbye.
She was not in the mood to look at the arrangements of the Earl's Mansion, so she followed Mammy.
When he was about to reach the entrance of the courtyard, Bai Yu'an suddenly heard rapid footsteps behind him. He rolled up his sleeves and looked back. It turned out to be the third young master, Xiao Shiyu.
The light of the lantern did not illuminate much, and the expression on Xiao Shiyu's face was not very clear.
All she could hear was his rapid breathing, obviously he was chasing her.
Bai Yu'an stood with the light of the courtyard behind him, looking at Xiao Shiyu who was wearing a sapphire blue round collar robe with many jade pendants around his waist. His face was young and handsome, but he looked a little distracted.
He ran up to her, patted his chest and gasped several times, then pointed at Bai Yu'an and said, "I remember you."
"That red mole of yours."
"Exactly the same as the editor-in-chief of the Hanlin Academy."
"And you look alike too!"
After saying that, Xiao Shiyu came up to Bai Yu'an and looked at her carefully, touching his chin: "It's so similar. How come it's so similar?"
Xiao Shiyu met Bai Yuan by chance.
That time, he happened to bump into his friend on the street. Standing next to his friend was Mr. Bai. After being introduced, he found out that he was the top pick of the year.
Xiao Shiyu was shocked at that time. After the first glimpse, he went back and thought about it all night. Unfortunately, he never had the chance to see anyone again.
Bai Yu'an stood there, watching Xiao Shiyu look around her with a calm expression. Finally, when she met Xiao Shiyu's curious eyes, she smiled: "I heard people say before that I look like him, but I’ve never met Editor Bai.”
"Next time you are free, can you let me meet you, Third Young Master?"
Xiao Shiyu looked at Bai Yu'an's calm expression, her peaceful brows and eyes, and her cheeks that were dark behind the light, but he could clearly detect her smile, which was as moist as a drizzle of rain, which made his heart skip a beat.
He couldn't believe it to his death that his fourth sister, who was lost ten years ago, could be so beautiful and be found so suddenly.
But that calm demeanor and gentle voice made him unpredictable.
He then calmed down, stood up straight, looked at Bai Yu'an and said regretfully: "I heard that Mr. Bai fell into the water after returning to his hometown and is no longer alive."
Bai Yu'an didn't expect that the news of her death had spread back to the capital, and he sighed, unable to speak.
She nodded, with regret in her tone: "It seems that I won't be able to see Mr. Bai anymore."
Xiao Shiyu watched Bai Yu'an's eyebrows fall, and unconsciously became depressed, and said hurriedly: "But it's okay, I will show you a portrait tomorrow, and you will know how similar you two are."
Bai Yu'an smiled: "That's not necessary."
"After all, the person is gone, so it would be better not to see him."
"Third Young Master, please go slowly."
With that said, Bai Yu'an turned around and walked into the yard.
Xiao Shiyu stood there and looked at Bai Yu'an's back. His delicate and elegant back was as slender as willow bamboo. The moonlight and candlelight shone down, and Xiao Shiyu was almost fascinated by that back.
It wasn't until the back figure disappeared behind the door that he came back to his senses in a daze, and there seemed to be a clear and light fragrance on the tip of his nose.
After standing for a while, he turned around, only to see his elder brother standing behind him at some point. He was so frightened that he almost screamed.
Xiao Shiyu patted his chest and was so scared: "Brother, you scared me to death."
As he spoke, he took two steps forward and asked strangely: "Brother, why are you here too?"
Xiao Che looked at Xiao Shiyu and smiled: "I saw you coming, so I came over to take a look."
Xiao Shiyu said oh, then approached his eldest brother and asked curiously: "Brother, is she really our fourth sister who got lost ten years ago?"
Xiao Che looked at Xiao Shiyu and smiled: "Father and mother said yes, don't ask anything else."
Xiao Shiyu curled his lips: "Why don't I look like him."
Xiao Che pulled Xiao Shiyu back: "You don't care whether it looks like her or not. Don't disturb the fourth sister's rest. We'll talk to you tomorrow if you have anything to say."
Xiao Shiyu was led by his elder brother obediently. After walking a few steps, he couldn't help but look back again. There was no trace of her in the empty courtyard.
Bai Yu'an leaned tiredly on the chair and looked at the grandma who was following her, bending her waist and whispering to her: "As soon as the post came from the Marquis Mansion today, my wife started cleaning the yard."
"This yard is the yard where the second girl used to stay when she was not married. All the decorations are still there."
"If you feel that there is still something missing, just tell me to have it taken care of right now."
Bai Yu'an looked around the room. The elegant boudoir was decorated with exquisite details.
She whispered: "No, just bring hot water and let me freshen up."
The grandma saw that Bai Yu'an seemed to be easy to talk to, so she quickly agreed and went out.
As soon as the nanny went out, Bai Yu'an looked at Cuihong and Ruoyun who had followed him.
Ruoyun noticed Bai Yu'an's gaze and quickly walked up to Bai Yu'an and whispered: "My name is Ruoyun. My Lord asked me to follow the fourth girl."
When Bai Yu'an heard this title, he looked at Ruoyun twice more.
Soon the hot water came, and Cuihong helped Bai Yu'an wash up. When she came out, the bed was already made.
When Cuihong changed Bai Yu'an's clothes when she fell asleep, Ruoyun stood in front of Bai Yu'an with a bowl of medicine and said, "This is the medicine just sent from the kitchen."
As he spoke, Ruoyun looked at the ground and whispered: "My lord, I told you that you should drink medicine on time even in the Earl's Mansion."
"This medicine was made by the servant in the kitchen when I entered the Earl's Mansion just now."
The outer clothes were taken off, and Bai Yu'an was sitting in front of the bed wearing a pure white inner clothes, looking at the medicine in Ruoyun's hand.
She reached out to take it and looked at Ruoyun: "Get out."
Ruoyun looked at Bai Yu'an hesitantly, his steps hesitant.
The master told her to watch Miss Bai finish drinking with her own eyes, but she did not dare to disobey the order.
Bai Yu'an understood instantly that if Ruoyun was put by Shen Jue's side specially, she might not listen to him. Maybe she only listened to Shen Jue's words.
Bai Yu'an never wanted to embarrass others, so he lowered his eyes and looked at the medicine in front of him, knowing what it was.
He drank the medicine silently under Ruoyun's gaze. When the empty bowl was placed in Ruoyun's hand, the expression on Ruoyun's face relaxed obviously and he retreated quietly.
Cuihong went to loosen the hairpin on Bai Yuan's head, looked at her carefully and asked, "Is the fourth girl sleeping now?"
Without Shen Jue around, Bai Yu'an felt a lot more relaxed.
His body relaxed naturally, and he leaned on one side of the bed lazily and squinted his eyes.
Cuihong looked at Bai Yuan's lazy appearance, with all her long hair falling down, and looked like she had never seen before. She stood aside and quickly pulled the quilt for someone.
The quilt was pulled to Bai Yu'an's chest. Cuihong felt her fingers being held by a soft finger, and patted the back of her hand comfortingly, as if to comfort her.
A low and soft voice came: "Cuihong, leave a light."
She looked at Bai Yu'an's closed eyes, her eyes were hot, and her heart suddenly felt warm.
She bit her lip and responded before gently lowering the curtain.
