Old Madam Qin's round face was full of wrinkles. She looked to be in her sixties, with a head full of silver threads, but her mental fortitude was excellent. However, her eyes did not look too good.

"The third lady is so pretty! No wonder our Du'er always said that he would paint for you! " The madame said with a smile. While praising Ye Yuning, she did not forget to bring her granddaughter along as well.

Ye Yuning immediately said: "Old madam is too kind, how can Yu Ning compare to Sister Qin?" She was not being modest, but actually thinking so.

Qin Du'er's eyes were full of pride.

Ye Yuning indicated for Fei Xiu to bring out the embroidered box. "This is a gift from my mother, I hope that the Old Madam can accept it."

The old lady naturally rejected, but Ye Yuning insisted and let Fei Xiu open the box.

"This is a spice sold by my mother's shop. It has the effect of calming the mind and calming the mind. When the old lady is old, I think she doesn't sleep well. Before going to bed every day, I burn one to help her sleep." Ye Yuning explained.

The old mistress' heart was much calmer as she smelled the faint sweet fragrance. She then ordered the servants to keep it. She then said, "Child, you are so considerate."

Old Madam Qin had someone bring over a set of golden peony jewelry boxes to give to Ye Yuning as a gift. Following that, First Wife Qin also brought a pair of jade bangles.

Ye Yuning thanked her separately, and after conversing with Old Lady Qin for a while, she was dragged away by Qin Du'er.

"This fragrance of yours smells so good, can you give me some too?" Once he was far away, Qin Du'er couldn't help but ask.

Ye Yuning nodded: "Of course, but do you have any problems sleeping?"

Qin Du'er scratched her head: "No, the servants always say that I will immediately fall asleep and not cry out. I think you should change it to something else! "

Ye Yuning could not help but burst out laughing. Qin Du'er's straightforward character was very compatible with her temper, so she did not need to guess her thoughts.

After turning and turning, Ye Yuning arrived at the Exquisite Pavilion where Qin Du'er lived.

Linglong Pavilion was located at the north side of the Qin Residence's courtyard, in the center. It was built at the back of the courtyard next to a pond. The two-story attic was not big, but it was beautifully constructed.

The first floor was the main hall for receiving guests, the dining area, and two rooms for the maidservants. On the second floor was Qin Du'er's room and his art studio. Qin Du'er brought Ye Yuning directly to the art studio, ordered someone to brew tea, and then prepared to draw.

"Just sit here."

Ye Yuning sat by the window as instructed. She lowered his head, revealing her long eyelashes, and her gaze fell on an orchid that was stuck inside a bottle on her side.

Qin Du'er stood behind the table and picked up the brush to carefully draw.

Ye Yuning sat for an entire hour. With regards to Qin Du'er's character of being straightforward, Ye Yuning felt extremely helpless.

Qin Du'er was extremely focused on drawing, the servants immediately retreated after putting down the tea, not daring to make the slightest sound.

"Alright." Finally, after decorating the painting, Qin Du'er put down her brush and nodded in satisfaction. "This is the best painting I have done this year."

Ye Yuning stood up and stretched her neck out curiously. On the snow-white paper, a young girl stood under a plum tree. She was pretty yet standing straight with one hand holding a plum flower. Her eyes were deep and her expression was gentle.

Ye Yuning was stunned.

In his previous life, there had been people who had painted this painting for her.

She remembered that on her sixteenth birthday, someone had given her a birthday present, but had not left a name. This was the painting in the box. It was true that the brush strokes and colors of the two paintings were different, but there was an inexplicable similarity between them.

At that time, her reputation had been completely ruined. No one was willing to interact with her, and she was only born with her parents. Although he did not know where that painting came from, it made Ye Yuning happy for a long time.

Unexpectedly, after living another life, she finally found out who was the creator of that painting.

Ye Yuning's eyes moistened, and an unexplainable emotion filled her heart.

"How is it? Not bad, right? The first time I laid eyes on you, I felt that you were very similar to Mei. You are also pure and cold, blooming recklessly in the cold wind. Qin Du'er said excitedly.

Ye Yuning nodded her head, taking advantage of her not noticing to wipe her tears, she laughed: "How could I be as good as you say?"

"Why not? I think you are much better than the other young mistresses of the Ye Family! " Qin Du'er's tone was extremely serious.

Ye Yuning laughed, and extended her hand to pinch her cheeks, "Then I will thank you for your praise."

The two girls looked at each other and smiled. They both felt that something had happened between them.

"I'll get someone to frame the painting and send it over to you in two days. You have to hang it in your room and see it every day!" Qin Du'er spoke seriously, and Ye Yuning could not help but nod his head and agree.

After drawing, Qin Du'er pulled Ye Yuning to her room and sat down. The two studied their jewelry and clothes for a while, then heard the First Wife order for them to come to the feast.

At the dining table, the other wives of the Qin family were there as well. They chatted and laughed about the banquet, coaxing the madame to speak, and praised Qin Du'er and Ye Yuning.

In the afternoon, Ye Yuning rested for a while in Qin Du'er's pavilion before heading back home.

At the entrance of the Qin Manor, Qin Du'er reluctantly pulled Ye Yuning, "Why don't you stay at my place for the night and come back tomorrow!"

Ye Yuning shook her head helplessly: "Before I came, my grandmother had instructed me that I should not stay any longer.

"Really? Is it really impossible? " Qin Du'er shook her arm, "I feel like the two of us have known each other for a long time, like we have known each other for two lifetimes. I have a lot of things I want to tell you!"

Ye Yuning's body trembled, her eyes became hot, thinking back to her and Qin Du'er's miserable ending in her previous life, she couldn't help but clench her hands, "Rest assured, we will definitely have a chance to meet again in the future! Even if you are married. "

"Really?" Qin Du'er's eyes lit up.

Ye Yuning nodded heavily, her expression extremely certain, as if she was making a promise.

Adding all of these two lives together, it was the first time Ye Yuning felt that Qin Du'er was a true friend of hers, and not someone who had different appearances like Ye Yuying or Ye Yujiao.

She did not want to lose such a rare friend.

After marriage, it would be the beginning of a new life for Qin Du'er. She knew that, but she did not want this kind of life to bind Qin Du'er and turn her into someone else.

Right now, she was as pure and lively as an elf, which was what people liked the most.

He just didn't know what the situation in the Jiang family was like … Jiang Guqi was a good person, his mother did not seem to be easy to get along with. However, with Qin Du'er being so intelligent, he believed that she would be able to live a good life in the Jiang's Mansion without her vicious enemy, Ye Yujiao.
