Chapter 145 The True Face of the Debt Collector

"Miss Ye, it's been a long time. How have you been?"

This man held a folding fan in his hand, and was elegant and handsome. Even without speaking, his peach blossom eyes were full of smiles. Who else could it be but the Sixth Prince Chunyu Shan?

Ye Pianran was quite surprised to see him there. She took a step back, curtsied, and said, "Greetings, Sixth Prince. May Your Highness enjoy boundless blessings and good health."

Chunyu Shan's gaze swept over Ye Lingyue's surprised face behind him, and then he said, "Alright, there's no one else here, no need for formalities, get up."

"Yes," Ye Pianran replied, straightening up.

Chunyu Shan asked, "Miss Ye, what brings you here? Are you ill?" After saying that, he seemed to remember something, and clapped his palm with his folding fan, saying, "Oh, I remember now, you once said that your master is Mr. Green Ivy, so you have come today to see Mr. Green Ivy?"

Ye Pianran replied, "Yes."

“Well, I have a long-standing relationship with Mr. Green Ivy, but we haven’t seen each other for a long time. Since I’m here today, and it just so happens that Mr. Green Ivy is also at the clinic, why don’t we go together with Miss Ye to visit him? Is that alright?” After he finished speaking, he smiled and looked at Ye Pianran, seeking her opinion.

Since he had already spoken, Ye Pianran could not refuse and could only say, "Then let's travel together."

Chunyu Shan, with his hands behind his back, walked alongside Ye Pianran. He casually picked up a conversation and asked, "It's been a while since we last met. I wonder how Miss Ye has been lately?"

“Very good, thank you for your concern, Sixth Prince,” Ye Pianran replied.

"Young lady, how is your medical training going with Mr. Liu? Have you made any house calls to take someone's pulse?"

Ye Pianran replied, "I've only learned the basics. I dare not act rashly, lest I tarnish my master's reputation."

Chunyu Shan laughed heartily, “With Mr. Liu’s skills, even if he has only learned the basics, he is already far more skilled than ordinary doctors. Miss Ye is too modest.”

"Your Highness, have you come today to seek medical treatment?" Ye Pianran asked.

Chunyu Shan shook his fan and smiled meaningfully, "Yes and no."

"..." Ye Pianran had no interest in getting to the bottom of it and simply said "Oh".

Then, silence fell between them again. Chunyu Shan scratched his head with his fan, looking genuinely troubled. He was usually very popular with young ladies, whether he was visiting elegant places or traveling in the martial world. Why did he seem so uninteresting with this young lady from the Marquis's mansion?

Inside the Xuanji Pavilion, Chunyu Jingxuan sat beside Chunyu Yang, his large eyes wide open, curiously observing Liu Luluo.

His clever and quick-witted appearance was truly adorable. Liu Luluo was very fond of him and asked, "Is this Yinghong's child?"

Chunyu Yang said, "Yes."

"He looks just like his mother," Liu Lulu exclaimed.

Chunyu Jingxuan's eyes lit up, and he asked in a childish voice, "Does the master know my mother?"

Liu Lulu smiled and said, "We know each other, and we have a very close relationship."

Chunyu Jingxuan almost jumped up with joy! Going out of the manor with his father today was a wise choice! Not only could he see his elder sister, but he could also get news of his mother. Even if he had to practice martial arts for a few more hours every day, he would be willing to do it!

"Sir, could you tell Jingxuan about my mother? Although my father has already told me, I would like to know more!" Chunyu Jingxuan jumped off the chair, leaned close to Liu Luluo, and asked excitedly.

Liu Lulu glanced at Chunyu Yang, seeking his opinion. Chunyu Yang knew she was sensible and nodded in agreement to her request.

“Your mother, she is an extremely good woman.” Liu Lulu laughed, and was about to tell Chunyu Jingxuan about the Princess Consort of Beiwu when she suddenly heard footsteps approaching from outside, and she could also hear Chunyu Shan’s hearty laughter.

Liu Lulu gave a meaningful smile and teased, "Oh, it's quite lively here today. Why are all sorts of people coming to my place?"

Chunyu Yang naturally heard this as well, and frowned, unable to tell whether Chunyu Shan's appearance here at this time was a coincidence or intentional.

Gradually, the sound of hurried footsteps drew closer, the conversation outside abruptly stopped, and then there was a knock on the door.

Liu Lulu glanced at Chunyu Yang and called out, "Come in."

The door was pushed open, and standing outside was Ye Pianran, dressed in a light green, double-breasted gauze dress, looking fresh and elegant.

Upon seeing Ye Pianran, Chunyu Jingxuan's face was filled with joy. He was about to rush over when he suddenly noticed that behind her stood Chunyu Shan, tall and elegant, holding a folding fan.

"Uncle Wang!" Chunyu Jingxuan exclaimed in surprise, "What are you doing here!"

Ye Pianran was startled to suddenly see Chunyu Yang and Chunyu Jingxuan in the Xuanji Pavilion. Hadn't the apprentice said the Third Prince hadn't come to the clinic? How come he was sitting here with her master, even drinking tea with him?

Thinking of the "debt collector" mentioned by the young apprentice at the clinic, Ye Pianran suddenly realized that the Third Prince was the "debt collector" who was disliked by thousands and hated by everyone, and especially loved to come to her door to ask for medicine.

Suppressing the laughter welling up inside her, Ye Pianran stepped forward and curtsied to Chunyu Yang and Chunyu Jingxuan, saying, "This humble girl, Ye Pianran, greets the Third Prince and the Young Prince."

Chunyu Shan also looked surprised: "Oh my, Third Brother, Xuan'er, what brings you here too?"

Chunyu Yang's gaze lingered on the red mole that had appeared on Ye Pianran's forehead for a moment before he looked at his unreliable younger brother and said, "Why you are here is why I am here."

Feeling a little guilty, Chunyu Shan touched his nose and said with a smile, "I haven't visited Mr. Green Ivy in a long time, so I came today when I had some free time."

The scene before them was quite amusing. Liu Lulu smiled meaningfully and beckoned to Chunyu Shan: "It's been a long time since I've seen Zize. Come, sit here and let's catch up."

"No—" Chunyu Jingxuan immediately panicked. He and his father had come to see his elder sister, and his uncle's presence was just causing trouble! How could his father be alone with his sister if this happened?

"What does Xuan'er want to say to Uncle Wang?" Chunyu Shan asked with a smile.

Chunyu Jingxuan was so anxious he was almost crying: "N-nothing."

"Good boy, Xuan'er." Chunyu Shan patted Chunyu Jingxuan's head, then walked over without ceremony and sat down next to Liu Luluo, unfolding his fan and saying, "How have you been, sir?"

Liu Lulu said, "That's great. Someone hasn't come to ask for medicine for a long time. Life is peaceful and I feel refreshed."

Remembering her annoying nickname "Debt Collector," Ye Pianran finally couldn't help but burst out laughing. Noticing Chunyu Yang's gaze on her, she quickly covered her lips with her fist and coughed twice to cover it up.

"It seems that Master and the Third Prince have known each other for a long time?" she asked.

Liu Lulu said, "Yes, we've known each other for seven years."

Seven years ago? Is that really a long time? Ye Pianran's eyes showed a hint of curiosity, but she knew it was not a good time to ask about this, so she said, "Let me make you some tea."

She knelt on the couch, changed the tea leaves, and brewed tea for them.

Liu Lulu smiled inwardly and asked, "Ran'er, do you know which sect or school your master belongs to?"
