Chapter 20: Someone from the Palace Wants to See Miss Four
r mind. She knew how much pain it would cause just thinking about it, so how could she possibly stab herselfThen she knelt backwards, but found that kneeling was too slow. She tried to scramble up usi...Cackling laughter and derision twisted Ye Lianmian's face, which was already somewhat vulgar, almost beyond recognition.
This truly is the image of Second Sister as I remember her. She isn't as beautiful as Elder Sister, nor as graceful as Fourth Sister, and she doesn't even compare to Ye Feiyu in height. Though she is considered pretty, her beauty lacks refinement.
To sum up, in terms of looks, she's definitely the weakest link holding the family back.
As for the closeness of their relationships, she always listened most to her mother-in-law's words. Although she was respectful to her own parents and siblings, her jealousy toward her younger sister Ye Wenyan was openly apparent.
Just because General Ye loved Ye Wenyan the most when he was alive, she often expressed her discontent to the old madam behind his back.
Unfortunately, the old lady also couldn't defy her grandfather. So she didn't gain much benefit either.
Besides listening to the old lady's words, she was also too close to Yè Hóngzhuang from the second house. Now it seems that Yè Hóngzhuang was going to replace Yè Wēn yán as Sù Wang's rightful wife, something she knew about long ago.
Mrs. Mu was extremely angry at this moment. She had always known that her second daughter wasn't very obedient, but she never expected that she would turn her elbow so much.
She wanted to open her mouth and scold, but her sleeve was gently tugged by Ye Wenyan. Ye Wenyan said: "Mother, don't interfere, let her be. I want to hear, who deserves to marry into the Su Wangfu if I don't"
Ye Lianmian spat viciously, "What are you Only someone with exquisite beauty is worthy of marrying the Sixth Prince. You're just going there to be a concubine, not even eligible for the title of a noble consort! The position of Duke Su's principal wife belongs only to Hongzhuang. Today is Hongzhuang's big day, not yours!"
"Really Then you should go and have a look. Ye Hongzhuang has also returned to her family. This trip to the Su Mansion, neither of us got married."
"What" Ye Lianmian was shocked. She thought it was Ye Wenyan who had been sent back, but she didn't expect Ye Hongzhuang to have returned to the manor as well.
Finally realizing that things were probably not as simple as he thought, he pulled his foot back and was about to run out.
Mu clutched the person back, her voice sharp. "Stop right there! Lianlian, do you know something What's going on with Yè Hóngzhuāng"
Ye Lianmian struggled desperately, "Let me go, I want to see the red makeup, I must go and see it!"
"You are not allowed to go anywhere!" Mu Shi also became resolute. As the mistress of a first-rank general's mansion, she was the head of the household, and when her aura rose, it wasn't something ordinary people could withstand. "Night is long, you are not allowed to go anywhere, tell me everything you know clearly!"
"What" Ye Lianmian struggled against her mother, crying out in anger, "You only ever take it out on me! Why don't you go argue with those other women outside Tell them to leave and let us out! Before, you always put on airs like a mistress, I thought you were so powerful, I even prided myself on being the mistress's daughter. But now that father is gone, you can't even keep your position anymore, and we suffer because of it! You only became mistress because of father, just like Ye Wenyan, without father and grandfather, you are nothing!"
Slap!
A slap landed on Ye Lianmian's face.
Mu's hands trembled, this was the first time she had ever hit her own daughter like this.
Ye Lianmian covered her face, staring incredulously at Mu Shi. "You hit me You actually hit me Father never even dared to hit me once in his life. He's just gone, and you hit me Am I really your biological daughter Why is your heart only filled with the eldest brother, elder sister, and the fourth younger sister You've never treated me well! Look at how kind your second aunt is to Hongzhuang. Compared to Hongzhuang, I'm like a concubine's daughter! This family only has Grandma who loves me the most. You, as my mother, can't even protect our courtyard. You just lock yourself in and beat children. You are not worthy of being my mother! You are not worthy of being the mistress of this house!"
Yè Liánmiàn roared like a madman, Yè Fēiyù rushed forward to pull the person away, but was pushed aside by Yè Liánmiàn.
Ye Qingmei propped herself up on the bed, her voice sharp as she questioned Ye Lianmian: "Make it clear, why are you dressed in red for your wedding today What did Grandmother and Second Uncle do"
For a moment, the room was in utter chaos.
Yè Wēn Yán stood up from the edge of the bed and took two steps back to the corner, calmly watching this chaotic scene, shaking his head helplessly.
In ancient times, within deep and sprawling courtyards, power struggles were relentless. The ancient texts of the Xuan family truly lived up to their reputation.
If she wants to stay in this General's Mansion, she needs to carefully figure out these relationships and think about how she should live here in the future.
What if we don't
She was in a predicament, where could she go if she didn't stay here This life, her soul had transmigrated, inhabiting the body of Fourth Sister Ye and taking on Fourth Sister Ye's karmic debts. If she didn't stay here, where else could she go
A figure, with long hair and a red robe, elegant and noble, crowded into his mind.
A smile unconsciously curved her lips. She wondered what the Yanhuagong Palace in the palace was like; if she had the chance, she'd really like to take a look and collect on that debt of favor that person owed her.
She lowered her head and just happened to see the silver bells at her waist, her smile deepening a bit.
In the midst of the struggle, Ye Lianmian finally broke free and ran outside without hesitation.
But unexpectedly, the door creaked open to reveal Jun Tao, the eldest maid serving beside the old lady, standing at the entrance.
Ye Lianmian was stunned: "Jun Tao, how did you get here"
Jun Tao's face was complicated, she leaned in to look inside, her gaze falling on Ye Wenyan.
She walked in, stood in the room for a while, and reluctantly bowed: "The servant greets Fourth Sister."
The master of the house, Ye Wenyan was the last one, but this Jun Tao only asked her well.
Yè Liánmàn hurried, “Jūn Táo, what are you doing Why are you bowing to her”
Jun Tao remained silent, keeping her posture of kneeling and staring intently at Ye Wen Yan.
Ye Feiyu stepped forward, blocking the way. Ye Wenyan poked his head out from behind him, raising an eyebrow and asking, “What’s wrong Did the three in the front yard have a heart attack”
Jun Tao was momentarily stunned, "What...what does it mean to have a cardiac arrest" She then shook her head to herself, "The old mistress and the second master and his wife are not feeling well. The visiting doctor is already treating them. I didn't come here for that, it's...it's..." She looked at Ye Wenyan again, "Fourth sister, someone from the palace has arrived and requested to see you."ng these young ladies in Beijing changed. Some stopped aligning themselves with Sister Ye Si or Sister Li, choosing to remain neutral and observe. They couldn't see which way the political winds were...
