Although she had known that Li Yaoyuan was in Wujun for a long time, when the time came to meet her, her emotions were no less than when she heard that Li Yaoyuan was still alive.

I dare not imagine what the scene will be like when Xiao Jianting meets her...

The little girl was surprised to see her so excited, but she was kind enough to point the way.

The little girl went to give flowers to Mrs. Wu, and Nian Susu could only grope forward alone as she described.

Finally, she arrived at a shop called "Youjian". There were many flowers at the door, and even the plaque and door frame were decorated with various flowers. She could smell the fragrant scent of flowers when she walked past the store.

Rose, azalea, phalaenopsis, plum blossom...

If it is spring, there are even more varieties of flowers.

Nian Susu watched from afar and didn't dare to go in. During this time, many customers came in and out, and business seemed to be very good.

She prepared herself mentally and walked in, but she didn't see Li Yaoyuan at all. Instead, a young man was calculating the bill at the counter.

Nian Susu simply treated himself as an ordinary customer and took a walk around the store. The style of this flower shop was both like Li Yaoyuan and not like Li Yaoyuan.

She stopped in front of a dish of flowers and stared at it for a long time.

It was not until the young man, out of curiosity, came up to her and asked if she needed help that she asked, "Is Miss Yu here?"

"Miss Yu?" The young man was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Miss, are you looking for our boss?"

She nodded, her eyes still calm.

The young man introduced himself: "My name is Ding Changfeng. I am an accountant, errand boy, gardener, and ..."

He counted several positions on his fingers. Generally speaking, he was just a brick and could be moved wherever needed.

Ding Changfeng was very curious about Nian Susu, or rather, about Li Yaoyuan's past. After knowing that Nian Susu was Li Yaoyuan's old friend, he had been asking for information in a roundabout way.

For example: "Where are you from, girl? Why are you in Wujun?"

"I think the girl looks like a rich lady. Boss Yu was also a lady from a wealthy family, right?"

……

Nian Susu exchanged a few polite greetings without revealing any actual information, and it was with great difficulty that he got Li Yaoyuan's address.

Ding Changfeng was still kindhearted. He walked her to the door with a silly smile and apologized, "I'm sorry, girl. If I hadn't been busy in the store, I would have walked you there myself."

Nian Susu smiled wryly and said, "No need, I can go there by myself."

She turned around and left in a hurry, fearing that Ding Changfeng would say something irrelevant again.

She has been out for so long. If she doesn't go back, Xiao Jianting and Xiao Yunzheng will come out to look for her, and then there will be big trouble.

Following the route Ding Changfeng mentioned, Nian Susu found the so-called "Yulinju".

Yulinju is neither big nor small, with three courtyards. Opposite the gate is a flower garden.

Nian Susu was sure that she had come to the right place. She knocked on the door but no one answered. She shouted a few times but no one responded, so she had no choice but to go in.

Walk to the front, pass through the corridor, turn a corner and you will see a clear view in front of you.

She was stunned. This was actually a field of flowers.

In the flower field, a girl had her back to her, working with a shovel. Her movements were skillful and neat. In a short while, she had loosened the soil and watered the field.

She was very familiar with that back view.

Nian Susu didn't even have the courage to call her. He just stood there looking at her, about to cry.

Li Yaoyuan suddenly stood up, picked up the bucket and was about to leave. When she turned around, she happened to meet Nian Susu's eyes. She was stunned and her eyes turned red almost instantly.

She dropped the bucket, ran across the flower field, came to Nian Susu, and hugged her tightly in her arms.

Both of them shed tears silently. Although they didn't say anything, this hug was worth a thousand words.

-

Nian Susu sat in the pavilion in the small garden, surrounded by the fragrance of flowers. Even the tea in front of her was scented tea. Li Yaoyuan grew the flowers herself and dried them to make scented tea.

Half a minute later, Li Yaoyuan changed into clean clothes and walked out from the corridor, her sleeves fluttering and her face radiant.

Nian Susu was dazed and almost couldn't recognize him.

Li Yaoyuan sat across from her gracefully and pushed the celadon jade cup forward. "Lingling, come and try the scented tea I made. If it tastes good, I plan to add a new business in two months and sell scented tea in a secluded place in the house."

"When I have enough money, I will buy another shop. Then, I can sell flower tea, flower cakes, and sachets."

She held her chin in her hand and planned for the future with joy.

Nian Susu felt like crying.

My eyes, which were red from crying just now, were still a little dry, and now they were feeling sore again.

She took a sip as instructed, and nodded after savoring it carefully. "It tastes very good, with a strong floral scent, refreshing and soothing. It's perfect to sell it to ladies and girls as an afternoon tea drink."

This kind of small snack made by girls does not expect to be accepted by the public or become famous, but as long as there is an audience and sales channels, it can make money.

Li Yaoyuan: "I think so too. I run a flower shop, and almost all the ladies in Wu County know me. They order flowers from the shop every day and have them delivered to their homes. Sales are not a problem, but sometimes I can't handle it all by myself."

She smiled bitterly, "It's good that you're getting the hang of it now. You don't know how much I suffered when I first arrived."

Nian Susu was about to show some concern, but she said nonchalantly, "But that's all in the past, let's not talk about it."

Nian Susu always felt that the Li Yaoyuan in front of him was different from before. Although her voice and appearance had not changed, her behavior, way of speaking, and even her makeup style were very different from before.

Not to mention Xiao Jianting, even she felt a little dazed when she saw it.

Li Yaoyuan had her makeup done in the style popular among Jiangnan women, and was wearing the Huansha Jinliuxian skirt that Jiangnan women loved the most. Sitting opposite her, I felt like I was not from the same world as her.

There was a hint of sadness in Nian Susu's eyes.

"What about you? Why did you come to Wujun? You didn't come here just to find me, did you?" Li Yaoyuan smiled, her tone half serious and half joking, because she knew that Nian Susu didn't come to Wujun for her.

Nian Susu explained the whole story in a concise manner and mentioned that she came from the Xiao Mansion. She deliberately slowed down to observe Li Yaoyuan's expression.

But Li Yaoyuan kept smiling, as if she had heard something insignificant.

After talking until his mouth was dry, Nian Susu drank a cup of scented tea and asked tentatively: "Zhizhi, does he... know it's you?"

This way of asking may not be accurate, because Li Yaoyuan only changed her identity and name, her face and her voice are not much different from before, how could Xiao Jianting not recognize her.

She should ask: Did Xiao Jianting harass you? Did he force you to go back to Shengjing with him?

If it was true as she guessed, Xiao Jianting had discovered that she was still alive, then Nian Susu already had the answer to the second question - Xiao Jianting stayed in Jiangnan for her.
