The next morning, Su Yelin bid farewell to Su Qingshui under the pretense of another reason, and took the carriage out of the city gate to the old Mu residence in the eastern suburb.

Like a shadow, Chanyi followed Su Yelin. It was their first time coming to the eastern outskirts of Fengcheng, and they needed to spend some time figuring out the way to the Mu Mansion in the eastern outskirts.

Fortunately, many people know that Lord Lian is entrusted to guard the tomb, so it was not difficult to find his maternal grandmother's home.

Su Yelin knocked on the wooden door of the Mu residence and walked inside. Mu Granny had already come out with a smile on her face.

Unexpectedly, Miss Su has graced my humble abode. What a wonderful day it is today! I am so thrilled that I can't stop smiling. Please, come in, come in. Whatever tea and snacks you desire, just let me know and I'll serve them. Please don't be shy!

Su Yelin humbly expressed his thanks and greeted Mu LaoLao respectfully. This was the first time he had spoken to Mu LaoLao face to face, so he felt a bit reserved.

"Has Grandma recovered from her previous fall? I have been busy with the affairs of the medical clinic and haven't had the chance to visit. My father is always concerned about Grandma's injury. He said, 'At her age, Grandma should be enjoying a peaceful life. Who would have thought that she would go to the county office personally to demand justice for Yin Lian's theft and end up getting injured? She's been working so hard and exhausting herself like this. It might wear her out.' But I believe that Grandma not only has a kind heart but also has great resilience. She will definitely live to be a hundred!"

Mu Laola always squinted her eyes and smiled, speaking with even greater kindness:

"My injury has long been healed. Your father's medicine is truly effective, no wonder Zhengxin Hall is so popular in Fengcheng. And to have such a beautiful and capable girl helping him, it is a blessing that I never expected in my lifetime."

Su Yelin reached up and smoothed the ends of her hair behind her ear, shyly smiling:

"My grandmother has Lian Er Ye, which could be considered fortunate..."

"Sigh, what 'fortune'? Nonsense!" Grandma Mu waved her hand, feigning disdain. "Wandering aimlessly all day, idle and without ambition. Not studying for the exams, nor engaging in any business. No serious matters at all. A complete waste! And yet, I have to be careful and serve her. How pathetic! I need a capable daughter, someone like you who knows how to make money and take care of the household. That's true fortune!"

Mu Laola's skill of "praising one and belittling the other" shocked Su Yelin, but she still said:

"Granny, you're being too harsh..."

Mu Laolao smiled and spoke softly:

Why did you suddenly come to see me today? Could it be that you're looking for Lian'er? Has she caused trouble at Zhengxin Hall?

Su Yelin quickly replied, saying,

"No, Grandma, I...I need to discuss something private with him..." she said as she lowered her head, her face turning red.

"Private matters?" Grandma Mu chuckled, "He hasn't been home for the past few days. He's either at the General's Tomb or off somewhere else fooling around! This little rascal can never contain his playful nature, even for a moment..."

Su Yelin stood up, bowed, and said,

"Grandma, then I won't disturb you any longer. I'm going to General Ling's tomb," said Cangyi as she grabbed the quietly eating Chanyi and walked out.

Mu Lao Lao watched as Su Ye Lin walked away and shook her head, sighing to herself.

How could this happen? A fine young lady actually fell for Lian'er!

Su Ye Lin asked the coachman to drive towards the General's Mausoleum in the western suburbs. The gatekeeper of the cemetery, a perpetually tipsy old drunkard, inquired about the visitor's purpose before guiding them to find Yin Lian.

That morning, unfortunately, Yin Lian drank a large jar of wine and got so drunk that her cheeks turned red. She lied down on a green grassy lawn in the garden, listening to the girl kneeling beside her speaking:

"Lian'er, wake up---- I never see you around on ordinary days. For the past few days that you haven't been going out, it's good timing for you to teach me some self-defense skills, okay?"

"Training martial arts can be tiring, Mingyue sister. Why don't you learn it?"

Yin Lian slightly narrowed her drunken eyes, lazily speaking.

Mingyue and Yinlian have known each other since they were young. They are foster daughters of Zhang Ji and have worked as kitchen attendants in the cemetery since they could do things. Mingyue's voice is crisp and clear, and she wears water-blue crescent-shaped earrings on her earlobes. Her every frown and smile cannot hide her captivating beauty.

"Don't! If you don't teach me, I won't make delicious food for you in the future!" Mingyue pouted.

Yin Lian had no choice but to quickly prop up her upper body with both hands and swiftly clasp Mingyue's arms from behind and lock them around her waist. The pain made Mingyue quickly push him away--

"Ugh, you hurt me..."

(Note: In this case, the translation is provided as dialogue due to the presence of quotation marks in the original Chinese sentence.)

"I'm demonstrating it to you. This is the 'wrist lock' technique in grappling," Yin Lian said, with her eyes half-closed and yawning.

The bright moon seemed to not quite understand: "You were too fast, I didn't see clearly. Please do it again."

Yin Lian did it again, inadvertently knocking her elbow against Mingyue's elastic chest.

Mingyue's face instantly turned red like a ripe peach.

"Have you learned it?" Yin Lian asked as she sat down.

Mingyue shook her head.

"You're so stupid!" Yin Lian cursed, then lay back down. "I don't want to teach you anymore. Go find my masters and learn from them yourself!"

As a skilled translator of Chinese web novels, I have translated the paragraph into English in a consistent manner:

"Mingyue grabbed Yinlian's hands and lifted her up. In response, Yinlian angrily pushed Mingyue down onto the grass. Mingyue chuckled in amusement."

Yin Lian felt puzzled, thinking, "Aren't you supposed to be angry with me?"

Unexpectedly, Mingyue reached her hands around Yinlian's back and embraced her, causing Yinlian's entire body to fall into Mingyue's embrace.

At this moment, the shout of Old Drunk Ghost came: "Master Lian Er, someone is looking for you!"

Yin Lian couldn't believe that Su Ye Lin would come looking for her. When she climbed up from Mingyue's body, she saw Su Ye Lin staring at them.

"Sister..." Yin Lian was momentarily dumbfounded, but in the next moment, she joyfully ran forward, "Sister has arrived, and you didn't even tell me beforehand, allowing me to be happy in advance..."

Su Yelin shifted his gaze away from Mingyue and used his index finger to cover his nose, saying,

"I'm not here to see you, I'm here to pay tribute to General Yin."

"Oh..." Yin Lian suppressed the joy she had felt a moment ago and murmured, "Today is not the day for the General's annual sacrifice..."

"I'll come to pay my respects whenever I want to."

Su Ye Lin once again had Old Ghost Lao Gui lead the way and walked respectfully to the tomb of General Jing Chao Wei, bowing and paying his respects.

After making their offerings, they were about to leave, but Sianyi held onto Suya Lin.

The intoxication of Yin Lian had dissipated by more than half. She swayed with her hands behind her back, her mind full of thoughts. She was continuously worried about whether Zhang Jiyu, who entered the city yesterday and had not yet returned today, had managed to rescue Su Yecheng. If Jifu brought the brothers back, Uncle Su would surely agree to let me be with my sister, and from then on, I would be able to be with her forever and ever... If Jifu fails to save them... Jifu possesses strong martial arts skills, he wouldn't fail! Once I deliver the brothers back to the Zhengxin Hall, I'll take the opportunity to see my sister Lin'er and give her a big surprise...

Su Ye Lin stopped for only a moment, looking up at the serene and solemn surroundings of the cemetery. A glimmer shone in his eyes, and he suddenly wanted to turn around and ask Yin Lian a question—do you still love me?

Who would have thought that the one walking at the very back, concealing her joy in her heart, Yin Lian, would say with a smile:

"Sister, let me walk you there..."

Su Ye Lin glanced at Yin Lian's face and coldly replied,

"No, I'll go by myself."

Chanyi's voice rang out: " " (Please note that no translation is provided for the dialogue as it is unclear what the character is saying.)

"Liner Sister! We didn't come specifically to pay our respects, don't we have other more important matters to discuss with Lord Lian Er?"

Yin Lian thought to herself, "My sister didn't come to visit me, and she didn't specifically come to worship the tomb. What important matter could there be? Could it be that Uncle Su has passed away? Then the Zhenxin Hall will be completely finished!"

So, with a sudden nervousness in her heart, Yin Lian quickly asked,

"Sister, please speak your mind. I promise to do my utmost to alleviate your worries and solve any difficulties you may have!"

Su Yelin smiled calmly and said,

"What else could it be? Just a little quarrel with my father. I came outside the city to relax and pay my respects to the General's mausoleum. Now I feel much better, Xiao Chan, let's go."

Helpless, Chanyi glanced at Yin Lian and followed behind Su Yelin.

Yin Lian was sent out alone. Taking advantage of the absence of anyone nearby and the fact that Su Yelian hadn't gotten into the car yet, he grabbed her and smiled, saying, "..."

"Can you give me a kiss before you leave, sister?"

Su Yelin gently pushed him away and said angrily.

"No kissing."

"So, am I your real elder sister?"

"Thinking beautifully."

"Sister has changed her mind; she started hating me again..." Yin Lian suddenly appeared dejected, catching Su Ye Lin off guard.
