Chapter 167 Another character reaches maximum favorability.
Today, the Marquis's mansion is hosting a banquet, with Ye Yanxun and Marquis Anshi as the main guests. Most of the guests are ministers from the court. There are no female relatives to entertain in the front courtyard, so Ye Pianran is happy to have some free time. After returning from her morning exercise in Xiling Mountain, she realized that she hadn't checked on Aunt Meng and the premature baby for several days. So she took her medicine box to Fangcao Garden to examine Ye Yanqi and Aunt Meng, who had just given birth.
From the interior of Fangcaoyuan came the babbling of a baby. Ye Pianran gently pressed her index and middle fingers on Ye Yanqi's soft arm, carefully checking his pulse.
Since giving birth to Ye Yanqi, Aunt Meng had been taking medicine prescribed by Ye Pianran to regulate her body. After drinking the spiritual spring water, her body recovered very quickly. In just half a month, her complexion had returned to a rosy color, and she was able to get out of bed and walk on her own.
Aunt Meng was extremely grateful to Ye Pianran. If it weren't for her, she and her son would definitely be meeting in the underworld now. Ye Pianran gave them a chance to come back to life.
She looked at Ye Pianran, who was taking Ye Yanqi's pulse, her eyes filled with gratitude and a hint of respect, clearly showing that she completely trusted Ye Pianran.
After Ye Pianran withdrew her hand, she smiled and asked softly, "Miss, how is Fu'er?"
Hearing 666 in her mind report that Aunt Meng's favorability towards her had increased again, Ye Pianran no longer felt the same indifference she had towards Aunt Meng, and smiled:
"Don't worry, Aunt Meng, little brother Fu'er is perfectly healthy and there's nothing wrong with him."
"That's good. Miss's medical skills are superb, so I'm very relieved," Aunt Meng said with a smile.
Although Ye Yanqi was born prematurely, he was fortunate enough to have his flesh and blood reshaped by the spiritual spring in Ye Pianran's space, and the toxins were completely removed, making him far superior to ordinary children. Moreover, judging from the lively look of his little eyes, he will likely grow up to be a clever child.
Ye Pianran teased Ye Yanqi with her fingers, and when she heard him giggle, she couldn't help but laugh along.
Seeing this heartwarming scene, Aunt Meng couldn't help but say, "Perhaps it's because the eldest young lady saved Fu'er that this child is closer to her than to others. If the eldest young lady is willing, she can come and see Fu'er more often; he will be very happy."
Ye Pianran smiled, looked up at Aunt Meng, and asked, "Aunt Meng, do you still remember how you were poisoned by that infertile poison?"
Aunt Meng was taken aback, then frowned and shook her head: "I can't remember. At that time, I had just entered the Marquis's mansion and was pregnant. In addition, the Marquis often came to my place, and many people came to my courtyard as guests, and they also gave me a lot of things. The poison must have been hidden in it, but I don't know who gave it to me."
Although Aunt Meng didn't know, Ye Pianran had the answer in her heart.
The person in this mansion who least wanted anyone to give birth to a boy was Ye Yanxun, who wanted to completely control the mansion.
Her questioning of Aunt Meng was merely an attempt to gather evidence. The "Child-Slaying Technique" she used to eliminate Jasmine was extracted from Ye Yankang's blood, and the real "Child-Slaying Technique" was likely still in the Marquis's residence. If she could find it, she could deliver a fatal blow to Ye Yingrou and Ye Yanxun, letting them know that the Marquis's residence was not a place for them to play tricks.
Seeing Ye Pianran's worried expression, Aunt Meng felt even closer to and trusted Ye Pianran more. She placed her hand on the back of Ye Pianran's hand and said sincerely, "As long as I can remember, I will immediately deliver the message to Miss Ye."
[666: Ding! Aunt Meng's favorability +10, Good/Evil value +10, target's current favorability 100, host's Good/Evil value 45! Congratulations, host, you have once again successfully raised the character's favorability to the maximum level! The host can enter the space at any time to collect the maximum favorability reward!]
The cheerful "666" echoed in her mind. Ye Pianran felt the warmth of Aunt Meng's palm and was momentarily speechless. In truth, if Marquis Anshi hadn't sent someone to summon her to Fangcao Garden that night, she and these concubines in the mansion would probably have remained strangers forever.
In the past, whenever she saw Aunt Song plotting against their Lanxin Courtyard, she would always lament the coldness of people's hearts. She never expected that in this Marquis's mansion where kinship was so weak, there would still be people who held true feelings.
“It doesn’t matter if I can’t remember, I will find that person myself,” Ye Pianran said firmly.
"Sister~" At this moment, a familiar voice called out from outside Fangcao Garden. Ye Pianran was stunned for a moment, then got up and went to greet her.
A figure in crimson robes rushed in from outside the door and crashed into Ye Pianran's arms. Who else could it be but Chunyu Jingxuan?
"Young Master, what brings you here?" Ye Pianran asked in surprise.
Chunyu Jingxuan tugged at Ye Pianran's sleeve, his face full of excitement: "Lingyi said that you were taking the pulse of a little baby here. I've never seen you treat someone before, so I asked Lingyi to bring me here! Sister, where is that little baby?"
Hearing the noise, Aunt Meng also came out of the house. She looked at Jingxuan hesitantly and said, "Who is this...?"
Ye Pianran said, "This is the heir of the Northern Martial King. He must have come to our mansion for a banquet with the Northern Martial King today. He found the front yard boring, so he came to the back yard."
"So you are the Crown Prince of Beiwu. This concubine greets you." Aunt Meng hurriedly bowed to Jingxuan, who waved his hand magnanimously and said:
"Get up, no need for formalities. Are you the little baby's mother?"
Aunt Meng guessed that the little baby he was referring to was Ye Yanqi, and said, "That's right."
"Oh, where is the little baby? Isn't Sister taking his pulse?" Jingxuan asked, blinking his big eyes. It's no wonder he was so curious. He had been cooped up in the Northern Martial Prince's Mansion for years, unable to go anywhere, surrounded by the same people, which had driven him crazy. So once he had a chance to come into contact with the outside world, he immediately found everything new and interesting.
"I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint the young master. I've already taken his pulse and am preparing to leave," Ye Pianran said with a smile.
"Ah, how could this be?" Jingxuan's head immediately drooped.
“However…” Ye Pianran glanced at Aunt Meng, “it would be good to let the young master see that little baby.”
Jingxuan immediately perked up again, his face full of eagerness.
Ye Pianran picked him up and led him to the cradle where Ye Yanqi was placed.
Ye Yanqi was only half a month old; her features hadn't fully developed yet, and she still looked as wrinkled as when she was first born. Jingxuan looked at her, his little face scrunched up, and he said:
"How ugly."
Inside the space, 666 nodded in agreement while munching on sunflower seeds: "Chirp, it really is ugly. I'm still the most handsome and dashing bird."
Jingxuan's innocent remarks were one thing, but his shamelessness was so extreme that Ye Pianran couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Aunt Meng felt a little wronged that her son was being called ugly, but... a newborn child, and premature, does look... cough cough, Aunt Meng covered her lips to hide her smile.
"Is this also Kang Kang's younger brother?" Jingxuan asked, pointing at Ye Yanqi.
Ye Pianran said, "Yes."
Jingxuan's eyes darted around, he coughed twice, put his hands on his hips, and said to Ye Yanqi, "You'd better grow up quickly! When you grow up, I and your brother Kang will teach you kung fu together! I guarantee no one in the world will dare to bully you!"
No matter how resolute he was, Ye Pianran and Aunt Meng only took his words as a joke. But seeing his clever and lively appearance, the two looked at each other and could no longer help but burst into laughter.
Ye Pianran put Jingxuan down and took his hand, smiling as she said, "Alright, let's go back. I knew you were coming, so I've prepared some delicious food for you."
"Really?" Jingxuan's dark eyes shone brightly. "Sister, I really like you so much!"
"I am honored by the young prince's favor, and I also like the young prince very much..."
Aunt Meng watched the two of them leave, listening to their conversation, a hint of blessing in her smile.
The young lady is a good girl; I hope she can truly find her own happiness and not end up like her…
Looking back at Ye Yanqi in the cradle, Aunt Meng sighed softly.
