After leaving Shun Chang Martial Arts School, perhaps because things went more smoothly than expected, Han Yan felt very good, and a smile appeared on her face.

Ji Lan couldn't help but ask, "Miss, are you really going to the martial arts hall to learn martial arts?"

Han Yan touched her nose and said, "It's always right to learn more about martial arts and self-defense". In her previous life, she lived in seclusion and only learned some poetry and songs. People in the world believed that women's talents were to recite poems and embroider. If they were good at these, they would be talented women. 

Little did they know that these were like embroidered pillows, which looked bright on the outside but were actually a bag of rice grains and were not practical at all. Practicing martial arts and self-defense, real skills, were much more useful than those zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

It was already afternoon and approaching evening and the street vendors began to pack up and go home. Soon, the night market would begin.

The night market with bright lights was something she could only see when her mother was alive, and she had the opportunity to go out with the other women during festivals. The beauty of the lanterns made her covetous.

One day, she would be able to leave the mansion that imprisoned her youth, walk into this vast world, and enjoy the beautiful scenery of this prosperous era.

Shu Hong bought some exquisite pastries. Just now at Shun Chang Martial Arts Hall, Han Yan told Ji Lan to secretly give the silver to Xiao Li and let Xiao Li take it to Yang Qi. Although she gave Yang Qi an idea, Yang Qi also agreed to teach Ming Er martial arts. She planned to enter the martial arts hall to learn martial arts skill, which was another calculation. One by one, Han Yan distinguished them very clearly. With the remaining silver, Shu Hong bought some pastries and planned to save them for snacks when they would go back to their mansion in the evening.

Just as Ji Lan wrapping the pastries in the handkerchief and before she could put them away, she heard a horse neigh suddenly, followed by a rough voice: "Get out of the way! Can't you see the carriage?!"

Han Yan pulled Ji Lan over, and just as they stopped, they saw a yellow wooden carriage almost brushing past them. The carriage rushed a few steps and stopped. Ji Lan twisted her body when Han Yan pulled her, causing the pastries in her hand fall to the ground. Ji Lan was always assertive and immediately stepped forward, saying angrily: "Why are you driving recklessly on the street? What if you hit someone?"

The driver was a rough man but was dressed in fine silk. He sneered upon hearing Ji Lan's question: "Hit someone? Where did this unruly girl come from? She bumped into the prince's carriage and is still shouting here!"

Prince? Han Yan was startled, and then she heard a familiar voice: "What's the matter?"

Many people had gathered around to watch the fun. Han Yan felt as if all the blood in her body had stopped. The memories of her past life flooded back at her, and she suddenly froze in place, unable to move.

A hand lifted the curtain of the carriage, revealing a handsome face. Those eyebrows and eyes were once the joy that Han Yan thought about every night, but now they seemed to be full of endless bitterness and desolation.

Wei Ru Feng, finally she saw him in this life. Could this kind of coincidence be a bad fate? Han Yan lowered her head. This was the man who allowed her sister to poison her. She loved his gentle appearance at the beginning, but she didn't know what kind of terrible thoughts were hidden under that good appearance.

Ji Lan did not expect that the person sitting in the carriage was such high status. She stood there in a daze for a moment, but the other party was wrong first and she wanted to admit her mistake, but she couldn't bring herself to do it.
