Chapter 580: Chapter 450: Medicine Buddha Yun Sheng
Ye Lingyue realized with just one glance why the guard at Ye Residence did not dare to stop the guest.
Because this person did not seem to be there to join the crowds for fun.
In the red lantern’s candlelight shone upon the woman’s body, adding a layer of blurry luminance.
Even Ye Lingyue, who was usually very articulate, could not find a superfluous adjective to describe her when she saw her.
Among all the people Ye Lingyue had ever met, probably only Feng Xun could compare to the beauty of the woman under the lantern light.
The woman wore a moon-white evening gauze dress, her face smiling. Her pitch-black pupils shone brighter than navigating stars, making her delicate features even more distinguished. With a light smile, her dimples deepened vividly.
Her smile made everything around her dim in comparison; her eyes, lips, and brows exuded a playful and enchanting charm, making it hard to guess her age.
The guards of Ye Residence were all distracted, gazing at the woman.
"May I ask who you are?" Ye Lingyue paused for a moment, then quickly approached.
Although it was Ye Lingyue’s first time seeing her, she felt a natural closeness to the woman, as if they had known each other a long, long time ago.
"My... my name is Yun Sheng, and I am here to attend the wedding," the woman said, giving Ye Lingyue a few appraising looks.
Her eyes, dark as the night sky, sparkled with an unusual brilliance.
Yun Sheng, a strange and pleasant name. Hearing this name, Ye Lingyue’s heart throbbed inexplicably.
"Do you know General Nie?"
Ye Lingyue did not recall her mother mentioning such an outstanding friend; she could only assume that she was a friend of Nie Fengxing.
But, could it be that Nie Fengxing had such a heavenly beauty as a confidante behind her mother’s back?
If this was disclosed to her mother, General Nie would surely be kneeling on a washboard tonight.
"I know your mother. More than a decade ago, we met once on the streets of Xia Capital. Back then, you were only this tall." Yun Sheng gestured, her hands flustered and pear dimples deeper as her gaze towards Ye Lingyue softened, brimming with affection.
"More than a decade ago?"
Ye Lingyue’s brow twitched suddenly, recalling that her mother, Ye Huangyu, once mentioned that they were driven out of Hong Residence years ago, and Ye Huangyu was seriously injured, holding the then infant Ye Lingyue, destitute on the streets.
Back then, Ye Huangyu broke off from Ye Family for the sake of Hong Fang.
She, holding the injured Ye Lingyue, who had been hurt by a servant of Zhuge Rou, searched the city for a renowned doctor, but no doctor or alchemist would help upon seeing the baby with a purple complexion who couldn’t even cry.
At the end, when Ye Huangyu, penniless, fainted on the street barely alive, a couple saved them.
The wife, stunningly beautiful and highly skilled in medicine.
She saved Ye Lingyue, who was at death’s door, and her husband even contacted Ye Huangshu to take the mother and daughter back.
Unfortunately, at the time, Ye Huangyu was disheartened and forgot to ask the kind couple’s names. Over the years, whenever Ye Huangyu remembered, she was filled with immense gratitude and expressed that if one day she could find her life-saving benefactors, she would definitely repay their kindness.
Hearing Ye Huangyu’s description and looking at the woman in front of her, Ye Lingyue was certain that she was the woman from back then.
Only, she came alone today.
"You’re the Divine Doctor, right? My mother mentioned you before, how did you know where my mother lives? I’m really grateful for what you did that year." Ye Lingyue said gratefully, and was about to invite the woman inside.
Yun Sheng paused, it had been many years since anyone called her the Divine Doctor, they usually called her "Medicine Buddha". She couldn’t hide the disappointment in her expression, recalling the sight of that tender little girl who used to chase after her, calling out "mom".
"They call me Divine Doctor, huh..."
Ye Lingyue also noticed the despondent look on Yun Sheng, and for some reason, felt a bit uneasy. She thought for a moment, took Yun Sheng’s hand, and such an intimate act, though it was their first meeting, didn’t feel awkward at all.
Yun Sheng glanced at the hand holding hers, her mood brightening a bit.
"I just happened to be passing by, and heard that an old friend was getting married, so I came to deliver a big gift."
Having said that, Yun Sheng took out a box.
Inside the box, there was an East Sea Merfolk Pearl, glowing like the bright moon, instantly dazzling everyone present.
Lan Cai’er was greeting guests, and when she saw Ye Lingyue bring a woman inside, she was about to ask but, upon seeing the woman’s appearance and the gift in her hand, she was stunned.
Little Wuya and Little Zhiyo were also stunned, obviously taken aback by the woman’s beauty.
Especially Little Zhiyo, looking at this stunning beauty before him, he felt she looked very familiar.
"Your little beast is very adorable." Yun Sheng saw the stupefied Little Zhiyo, smiled slightly, and picked him up.
"Be careful, Little Zhiyo is very wary of strangers." Ye Lingyue tensed up, fearing that Little Zhiyo might bite Yun Sheng.
But Little Zhiyo didn’t resist; he stared at Yun Sheng for a long time with big eyes, and even rubbed his little head against her chest.
"..."
"Little Zhiyo, how could you just let someone hold you." Little Wuya was a bit frantic, picking Little Zhiyo back up, and glaring at him huffily.
Though she was young, she had recently heard Ye Huangyu and Lady Lan discussing how to manage their men; both had said that men must not be fickle, and aside from their own wives, they shouldn’t even look too much at other women.
"Zhiyo (Beautiful Lady)" Little Zhiyo was full of heart-shaped eyes, there was a scent about Yun Sheng that made him feel very close.
But soon, something flashed across Little Zhiyo’s mind, seemingly a very domineering male voice thundered by.
That was a terrifying man like the dark night... all the pink bubbles in Little Zhiyo’s mind burst, and he didn’t dare to look at Yun Sheng anymore, hiding in Little Wuya’s embrace.
"Lady Yun, please don’t mind, Little Zhiyo has always been like this." Ye Lingyue was also somewhat puzzled; Little Zhiyo’s reaction changed too drastically, from liking her very much a moment ago to being scared the next?
"My husband’s surname is Ye, you can call me Lady Ye." Yun Sheng seemed unconcerned, she understood the Hundred Beasts Language, although her fox-like man had sealed Little Zhiyo’s memories, preventing him from remembering their previous encounter, there should still be some imprint in his subconscious.
"Ling Yue, is this relative from your paternal side? She’s so beautiful." Even the usually picky Lan Cai, upon seeing the celestial demeanor and appearance of Yun Sheng, couldn’t help but praise her endlessly.
"My husband’s surname is ’Ye’ of ’nighttime,’ it’s indeed homophonous with Miss Ye’s mother’s maiden name," Yun Sheng said smilingly. "I see many guests in the residence, you two go ahead with your tasks; I’ll just have a drink and then leave."
Yun Sheng bowed gracefully and walked into the residence.
