Heat of the chase cools down, and the morning sun casts a warm glow over the grand mansion. Shen Yunxi had been confined to her rooms since being returned the previous day, but today, she found the一般, opening the window to breathe in the fresh air.

Just as she stepped out onto the balcony, a sudden commotion below drew her attention. A small crowd had gathered near the entrance of the garden, and voices were raised in excitement. Curiosity piqued, Shen Yunxi descended the stairs, her eyes narrowing as she caught sight of the scene.

There, in the center of the gathering, was a young woman, dressed in a vibrant red dress that seemed to glow against the greenery. She was holding a scroll in her hands, her expression one of defiance as she faced several of the mansion's guards.

"Miss, please step away from the property line," one of the guards said firmly, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword.

The young woman, however, only smiled, her eyes twinkling with determination. "I'm just here to visit an old friend," she declared, her voice clear and unwavering.
