The Physician Wife Who Overturned The World

192. Peach Flower Dried Cake

Xue Fanxin did not know where the Ghost King was taking Yi Fentian to. He would not waste too much effort on things he could not control. If he had the time, he might as well spend all his energy cultivating or doing something he believed in.

The next day, the people from the four great families crowded into the Ninth Lord's Residence. Each family carried over ten large chests.

“Your Highness, the four great families have sent many gifts as thanks for saving their lives, including the Yi family. Will you accept it?” Since 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 wealth coming to my door, I'll be a fool. Besides, I worked hard to save those people. They have to pay me well. Let's go and see their sincerity. Hehe, I will get a windfall today.” Xue Fanxin was very happy and put down what she was doing.

The four great families seemed to have talked about it first and chose the same time to give the gift. Furthermore, its value is basically the same. No family has more or less.

The representatives were some people trapped inside the tomb. Bai Han, Lian Fangcheng, and Xue Hanxi all came, except for Yi Fentian. The Yi Family had sent someone else, who was the new Young Master of the Yi family, Yi Fenyun.

This Yi Phenyun looked a little similar to Yi Fentian, but his temperament was different. Yi Fentian was arrogant, whereas Yi Fenyun was graceful and reserved. He seemed aloof from worldly affairs. His appearance made people feel comfortable.

“Ninth Empress, I am Yi Fenyun. On behalf of the Yi family, I want to give you a thank you gift. Thank you, Ninth Empress, for saving our Yi family.”

"You're Yi Fenyun?" Xue Fanxin placed her attention on Yi Fenyun and tried her best to remember the past. He felt that Xue Fanxin in the past had seen Yi Phenyun before, but the impression was blurred. He could not remember it clearly.

He vaguely remembered that the reason Xue Fanxin was infatuated with Yi Fentian was because many years ago, someone who looked so similar to him had given him a trace of warmth like sunlight. Therefore, he fell in love with her.

Could there be a misunderstanding?

“Yes, I'm Yi Fenyun. I... Yi Fentian's half-brother.” Yi Phenyun paused for a moment, and his expression slightly changed, but he quickly hid it.

“About five years ago, did you go to Nanling Empire outside of Tongxuan Continent?” Xue Fanxin asked straightforwardly, wanting to settle the doubts in her heart.

Even though he was the real Xue Fanxin, some memories were too vague. Even his past could not remember him clearly, let alone his current self.

Yi Fenyun did not know why Xue Fanxin had asked such a question, but she did not investigate it and replied, "Yes, I did indeed go to Nanling Empire and stay in the Imperial City for a while."

“Then, do you remember.. peach flower cake?”

“Kue peach blossoms?” Yi Fanyun tried his best to remember. She did have a bit of memory of that peach cake. "Your Majesty, do you mean the cake at the peach blossom grandmother's stall in the Willow Gang on the East Road?"

On his visit to the empire, he smelled peach cakes on the East Road and bought some to try. He could not forget the taste even now.

Unfortunately, the peach blossom grandmother died in less than two years. From then on, he could never eat it again.

However, why did the Ninth Empress mention this to him?

He's been chasing the wrong guy for two years.

"You are the Young Master of the Yi family now?" Xue Fanxin did not bring up the past. He planned to let the matter run its course, so he changed the topic.

Yi Phenyun knew that Xue Fanxin was unwilling to speak more and wisely did not ask further. He replied gently, “Yes, I am the Young Master of the Yi family now. But I don't want it.”

He had never thought of competing with his younger brother for the Young Master position, but just yesterday, the elders in the family unanimously decided that he would sit down. He couldn't refuse it even if he wanted to, so he could only agree.

“It doesn't matter where you sit. What matters is your heart. If it's free, you can be free no matter what position you hold. Otherwise, even if you do nothing, you will feel constrained. Overall, your mentality is very important.”

Hearing Xue Fanxin's words, Yi Fenyun felt like she had realized it. What surprised him even more was that this little girl, who was only fifteen years old, could actually utter such philosophical words.

What kind of person is he?

“Thank you, Empress. I get it."

“Hehe, good if you understand. Come on, come on, let me see what gift you brought me.” Xue Fanxin did not chat for too long with Yi Fenyun, in case of a misunderstanding. Moreover, he was extremely curious as to how much gold and silver the four great clans had given him.

Lian Fangcheng and Bai Han were standing there confused. Facing Xue Fanxin, they did not know what to say. They were envious because Yi Fenyun could talk to him.

In fact, they also did not want to become enemies with Xue Fanxin. They want to be friends with him. After returning from that cursed place, they understood many things. They thanked him for saving them.

“This is the Bai.” family tribute sign Bai Han looked at the followers around him. When the followers opened the box, he introduced them one by one. “This is ten bolts of the Luo Yun Silk Brocade, ten East Sea Night Pearls, ten pairs of white jade bracelets, ten thousand year old blood ginseng, and ten thousand year old purple orchid.”

Xue Fanxin was shocked, feeling that she had made a huge loss by asking Bai Han for the Jade Skin Spirit Flower back then.

This person was the heir of a rich second generation.

Lian Fangcheng was also in a hurry to introduce his gift. “Ninth Empress, this is a small sign from our Lian family. Nine Revolution Soul Return Pill, Thousand Spirit Grass is ten thousand years old.”.

Before Xue Fanxin could recover, she heard Lian Fangcheng's introduction. His mind was filled with a golden light that would blind his eyes.

He had worked hard to bring these people out of the tomb. His efforts finally bore fruit.

In fact, inside the tomb, he did not think of how much the four great clans would give in return. He only hoped that those people would increase his reputation after they came out and messed with Su Baifeng. Who knows…

Good people are avenged, hehe!
