The more Ye Jiuge mulled it over, the more she felt like her hunch was likely to be true. She could not deal with Fifth Concubine and Ye Ruyi any longer, so she left immediately and returned to Zhilin Residence.
In the East Room, Ye Yu was dressed in a pink dress. He was deep in thought by the window. When he saw Ye Jiuge enter, he stood up and said, "Miss Ye, I have recovered fully. I shall not burden you anymore."
He felt that it was inappropriate for an adult male like him to stay in a lady's residence.
Furthermore, he wanted to venture out to do some reconnaissance about the Su Clan.
He would have simply left earlier, but he wanted to notify Ye Jiuge about his departure,
"Why are you in a rush?" Ye Jiuge sat beside the table and poured herself a cup of tea. After she took a sip, she said, "Can you guess who I bumped into earlier?"
"Who?" Ye Yu asked mechanically.
Ye Jiuge placed her teacup down and said, "Su Junqing."
