"Of course it's okay." Ye Zhaoyan responded softly.

This thing was originally Zhuo Yibai, and now it is natural that it should be returned to its original owner.

However, as she thought about the current situation, she felt a sense of sadness in her heart, and couldn't help but cast her eyes on the young man.

Nowadays, Ye Mansion is suffering from internal and external troubles and lack of information. It is in need of someone who can communicate with the outside world.

The young master in front of me is a choice.

If he is willing to help him, then there will be a breakthrough for Ye Mansion's dilemma.

She originally didn't want to embarrass Zhuo Yibai, but when she thought about Ye Mansion, she didn't want to think about it so much.

"Then I'm not welcome." Zhuo Yibai responded with a smile, put away the paintings in the box, and then cupped his hands towards Ye Zhaoyan and said, "Miss Ye, I'll take my leave first."

"Wait..." Ye Zhaoyan said.

"Miss Ye, is there anything else?" Zhuo Yibai stopped and asked with a smile.

His eyes were smiling and clear, making people lose their focus for a moment.

"I have one more request."

"Miss Ye, it doesn't matter if you say so."

Ye Zhaoyan thought for a while and said, "I would like to ask you to make another painting today."

"Create another painting?" Zhuo Yibai was stunned when he heard Ye Zhaoyan's words.

He thought that the other party was going to mention something about the painting, but he didn't expect that she was going to paint another painting by herself.

He was a little hesitant. When it came to portrait painting skills, he was certainly not as good as Zhou Ru.

What's more, his portrait paintings have their own style, which can be seen clearly when compared with Zhou Ru's paintings.

If he were to paint again, he might not be able to do it.

"This...Miss Ye, I'm sorry that it's difficult for me to complete it." Zhuo Yibai declined, "I mostly paint based on my interest. If I do it so deliberately, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it."

"I believe in your painting skills." Ye Zhaoyan shook his head and said firmly.

It doesn't matter how the painting looks, all she wants is an opportunity.

Seeing the girl's persistence, Zhuo Yibai thought for a moment, and then agreed: "Since Miss Ye trusts me so much, may I ask what kind of painting Miss Ye wants me to make?"

"Painter Bai's painting skills are superb. How about painting a landscape picture of our house?"

Hearing this, Zhuo Yibai smiled slightly: "Of course there is no problem."

If it was a landscape painting, he would be somewhat confident.

"Okay, thank you then, but I hope I can observe it in person, is that okay?" Ye Zhaoyan asked, with a bit of anticipation in his eyes.

This was not the place to talk, she wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Zhuo Yibai in detail.

Hearing this, Zhuo Yibai nodded without hesitation.

"Since Miss Ye invites you, I will naturally be happy to help you."

Seeing Zhuo Yibai's hearty answer, Ye Zhaoyan breathed a sigh of relief, and a trace of gratitude appeared on his face.

After hearing Ye Zhaoyan's words, Mrs. Xue, who had been sitting on the chair without speaking, stood up and looked at Ye Zhaoyan with an unhappy look on her face.

"Zhaoyan, just let him finish the painting by himself, there is no need to bother like this."

"Grandma, you don't know how to paint." Ye Zhaoyan shook his head, "Painting is an elegant thing, and it is also a beautiful thing if you can appreciate the artist's painting skills."

These words made Mrs. Xue look embarrassed.

The most taboo thing about others is that she is tacky!

She couldn't help but feel a little depressed. Everything that was inelegant was just pretentious and pretentious by those literati!

"Humph, what a beautiful thing! It's just scribbling on paper, and you actually spend a lot of time on such a trivial matter!" Mrs. Xue snorted coldly, with a look of disdain on her face.

When Xue Zhiyan and Xue Youling saw this, they both lowered their heads to hide the smiles on their lips.

"It's just a painting, why should grandma care about it." Ye Zhaoyan's eyes were a little cold. If the situation hadn't forced her, she wouldn't have talked nonsense with Mrs. Xue.

She couldn't let this opportunity go easily.

Mrs. Xue wanted to scold her again, but she caught a glimpse of Butler Xue on the side giving her a wink.

She suddenly remembered something and hurriedly restrained her tone and said: "Okay, okay, I want to see how much the painter Bai weighs. Zhiyan and Youling, you guys should go too!"

"Yes, grandma." Xue Zhiyan and Xue Youling responded in unison.

"Painter Bai, let's go now." Ye Zhaoyan turned his head and looked at Zhuo Yibai.

Zhuo Yibai smiled and nodded, then said a few words to Wei Yu beside him, and the group walked towards the backyard.

When Butler Xue saw the Xue sisters falling behind the crowd, he quickly stepped forward to say a few words.

As Ye Zhaoyan walked, he told Zhuo Yibai the layout of the Ye family's mansion and the surrounding environment.

The Xue sisters were reminded by Butler Xue Er and have been paying close attention to them.

At this time, I had been listening for a long time, but still had no results, and I couldn't help but feel a little lack of interest.

After Ye Zhaoyan finished talking about Ye Mansion, he changed the topic: "That day at Painter Bai's Mansion, there was a scene in the southwest corner, which was quite innovative."

That day at Prince Zhuo's Mansion, the courtyard where Ye Zhaoyan climbed over the wall was at the southwest corner.

Not only was that place secluded and sparsely guarded, it was also on low ground, making it easy to escape.

"The view in the southwest corner?" Zhuo Yibai asked, somewhat aware that it seemed to be the second brother's yard.

"Yes, there is a lake in the southwest corner. There is a big banyan tree beside the lake. It has lush branches and green shade, and the scenery is excellent." Ye Zhaoyan nodded and said, "The scenery in that place is particularly outstanding. Painter Bai, do you know why?"

"Why?"

"Without the high wall blocking the place, the sense of oppression is gone, and it looks particularly elegant."

"That's it." Zhuo Yibai suddenly realized, then he raised his head, his eyes fell on Ye Zhaoyan, and said with a smile, "It turns out that Miss Ye likes this style."

Ye Zhaoyan's eyes were deep and he continued: "There is also such a scene in the northwest corner of Ye Mansion."

This place is also where Ye Zhaoyan often escaped for fun when he was a child.

If there are no guards outside, it is an excellent place to escape.

But not anymore.

If there is no external support, it can only be used as a decoration.

"What a coincidence?"

"Is it a coincidence?" Ye Zhaoyan said softly, "I don't think so."

"Miss Ye, what do you mean?" Zhuo Yibai frowned and looked at Ye Zhaoyan. He could feel what Ye Zhaoyan wanted to tell him.

"Painter Bai should be able to guess it." Ye Zhaoyan looked at him and said word by word.

Zhuo Yibai still had doubts in his heart, not knowing what Ye Zhaoyan meant.

She is not an ordinary woman, and what she says and does cannot possibly be without profound meaning.

I just don’t know, what do you want to do?

Seeing this, Xue Zhiyan on the side became wary and interrupted with a smile: "What kind of riddle is Sister Zhaoyan playing with Painter Bai?"

Ye Zhaoyan turned his head and looked at Xue Zhiyan, with a hint of ridicule at the corner of his mouth.

"This is a secret between Painter Bai and I, so I won't tell you."

The smile on Xue Zhiyan's face suddenly froze.

"Sister Zhaoyan, why are you doing this?" Xue Youling had a hint of displeasure on her face, "Zhiyan just kindly reminds you not to say anything you shouldn't say."

This Ye Zhaoyan is really shameless.

She is obviously a girl waiting to be married, yet she still behaves like the eldest lady of the Ye family!
