Chapter 509: Chapter 507 Happiness Comes Too Suddenly

Madam Yin was afraid that Jiang Yifan might be neglected by her daughter and hurriedly called out, "Yuanfan must be tired after following our slow carriage for four hours, aren’t you? Come, sit down and have a rest."

Jiang Yifan smiled and pointed a few steps away to Wong Qiao and the others, "Ah Qiao is leading people to tidy up. I came over to check on things, and I’m going to help out soon."

Ye Xinyan sat next to Madam Yin, looking at the endless blooming flowers around her and the three children who were sometimes running and laughing, sometimes huddled under the trees whispering, along with Zi Ning and the other two maids following them, feeling much more relaxed.

The hustle and bustle of the two groups and the children’s laughter brought vitality to the previously quiet woods, even the peach blossoms on the branches seemed to tremble more than usual.

Madam Yin slowly sipped the tea served by Cui Bai while pointing into the distance, saying to Ye Xinyan and Zhou Biyao, "Ah Yan, Biyao, look over there. Jiajia was right; those two flower trees really stand out with their fresh green. They are very refreshing."

Ye Xinyan laughed, "That’s quite a common color, isn’t it? If Mother finds it unusual, we can go over and take a look. I will accompany you."

Zhou Biyao complained, pushing Ye Xinyan slightly, "There’s me too. I’ll accompany the lady as well. Sister Qi, you always forget to include me."

Madam Yin nodded happily, "Let’s all go, and take the maids and old woman servants with us, to look around. March is the season when peach blossoms are in full bloom, and it’s rare to see them flourish so tenderly and exuberantly."

No wonder Ah Yan has changed so much since leaving the capital; being outside really does bring more joy than staying within the compounds of the capital. Especially with Ah Yan and Brother Jia, two lovely children accompanying her, she hadn’t felt so happy for many years. And Biyao, with her cheerful disposition, is extremely likable too.

Ye Xinyan and Zhou Biyao accompanied Madam Yin as they walked towards the distance, commenting on what they saw, with maids and old woman servants serving the three of them. Jiang Yifan followed a few steps behind with two guards, matching their pace.

Guan He watched Jiang Yifan follow after Ye Xinyan and called out to Qi Sanshun, "Let’s go over there and see if there’s any game."

"Me too, I’m also going," Qi Jiaer followed, hopping and waving at Shi Yu, "Brother Shi Yu is coming too; he’s been saying for ages that he’ll catch a few wild hares."

Guan He waved her hand with a smile, "Let’s all go, including Jiuhua." She turned to Wong Qiao who was standing up and said, "Ah Qiao, don’t go. You and these masters stay here, enjoy the peach blossoms, and if there’s time, get the charcoal ready. I’m taking the little ones over there to play and see if there are any game animals. If we can hunt some, we’ll roast it together with the food we brought."

Although the Peach Blossom Forest was vast and flourishing, it wasn’t particularly rare for Ye Xinyan. For her, this place served to adjust her mood, but did not awe her as it did Zhou Biyao.

Therefore, as Ye Xinyan accompanied Madam Yin to view the peach blossoms, her eyes contained more appreciation than astonishment.

"Look there, madam," Zhou Biyao, attracted by a deeply pink peach tree, pulled Madam Yin to run straight towards it.

Ye Xinyan laughed as she watched their group of masters and servants hurry over, excitedly discussing and pointing. Against the vibrantly blooming peach blossoms, the women were as beautiful as jade, with their lively brocades and long, flowing robes, casting an exquisite tableau of classic beauty amid the peach trees.

Having noticed Ye Xinyan’s expression all along, when he saw her looking appreciatively and smiling, admiring the view of the Peach Garden reflecting beauty from afar, Jiang Yifan couldn’t help taking a few steps closer and asked softly, "This peach forest is undeniably vast and lush, presenting a beautiful scenery, but Ah Yan doesn’t seem as excited as the madam and Second Miss Zhou."

Ye Xinyan turned to look at him, he inquired, "Has Ah Yan seen even more outstanding views before?"

Ye Xinyan smiled faintly, "Is Lord Jiang very curious to know?"

Jiang Yifan nodded seriously and replied, "Yes, I am very eager to know what kind of places Ah Yan has lived in before."

Ye Xinyan glanced at Madam Yin and the others in the sea of flowers and then at the guard Jiang Yifan had indicated, who had gone to look after Madam Yin and the other female relatives, and said, "Alright, Lord Jiang wants to know what exactly?"

Jiang Yifan was surprised, could it be this easy? Surely not, could it be he was too hasty with his questions, and Ah Yan was annoyed, speaking sarcastically?

Jiang Yifan scrutinized Ye Xinyan’s expression, which did not seem to resemble anger.

"You mean it? You’re really planning to tell me?" Jiang Yifan asked cautiously.

Ye Xinyan laughed, "What? Is happiness arriving too suddenly, making you doubt your ears and judgment?"

Jiang Yifan gave an embarrassed smile, opened his mouth, and then realized that he wasn’t even prepared, for the moment he couldn’t think of what to ask first.

After waiting for quite some time and still hearing no question from Jiang Yifan, Ye Xinyan couldn’t help becoming impatient, "Are you going to ask or not? If not, I’m leaving."
