Chapter 134 Why is Ye Wenyan here?

Just when they were feeling awkward, Li Yanran came out to help them out. She bowed to Jiang Wanting gracefully and said, "It was the Qian family's sister who spoke rudely and offended you. I'm here to apologize for her. Sister Jiang, please don't be angry, okay?"

Li Yanran has a very pleasant voice and behaves well, so it's hard to find any fault with her.

Jiang Wanting glanced at her and returned the greeting: "Since Sister Li said so, I won't bother with her."

Li Yanran continued to smile: "Sister Jiang is generous and straightforward. Her personality is really likable. In the future, we will visit each other more often. Our relationship will naturally become closer as we visit each other more often. Don't you think so? I am seventeen years old, so I will call you sister. Please don't mind." As they were talking, another carriage arrived in the distance.

People habitually looked over there and saw that after the carriage stopped, an old lady was helped out by servants. When getting out of the carriage, the old lady kept holding her waist, and a little girl following behind also hurried to help her.

Someone recognized her with sharp eyes: "Isn't that the old lady from the First-Rank General's Mansion? Who is the girl following behind her? Which lady from the First-Rank General's Mansion?"

"She doesn't look like one! We have seen several daughters of the First Rank General's Mansion, whether they are from the first or second house, but this one looks unfamiliar. Eh? Why does one side of her face seem to be swollen, as if she was beaten. Well, then she can't be a daughter. She must be a maid who did something wrong and was beaten by the master. It's just that this master is a bit cruel. He hit her in the face on New Year's Eve. How can I celebrate this year?"

Madam Jiang looked at her for a while, then whispered to Jiang Wanting, "That seems to be the concubine of the Ye family. I saw her outside the temple gate last time."

Jiang Wanting also nodded, "Indeed. I was waiting at the gate of Ye Mansion the night Wen Yan got into trouble. It was she who reminded me to ask Uncle Chi for help. In fact, I should thank her."

Madam Jiang said, "No matter what her reason was for reminding you, she has helped you with Yan'er's matter. We must remember who we should hate, but we must also remember who we should thank. Remember to send a visiting card to express our gratitude, so as not to disappoint others. It can also be regarded as a good relationship for Yan'er in the General's Mansion!"

Jiang Wanting agreed, but she was still worried. "I don't know what's going on with Yan'er. I must ask her carefully when I see Aunt Mu later."

While the two were talking, the old lady had already walked over here.

Although I arrived later, the queue was not really based on first come first served. After all, the palace would call people first and then later according to their official rank, so people just stood there randomly without forming a real queue.

Although the generals of the First-Rank General's Mansion were gone, their status was still there, so no one said anything to Old Lady Ye as she walked along. However, many familiar people greeted her, and the old lady would stop from time to time to talk to them, or nod to them, and she regained some of the feeling of being the center of attention when the old general was still around.

Someone spoke to her and said caringly, "Madam Ye doesn't look well. You must take care of yourself!"

The old lady perked up when she heard this, and took this opportunity to say, "Alas, there have been a lot of things going on at home recently. After the funeral, I have to deal with the wedding right after. Everything is relying on me alone, and there is really nothing I can do."

The person who spoke to her was a woman in her thirties, who was the mistress of some official residence. She had a gossipy look on her face, and when she heard that Old Madam Ye was talking about a bereavement and a marriage, her eyes sparkled with gossip.

So he immediately continued to ask, "Hey! Why are you busy with marriage again? Didn't the fourth young lady not want to get married? I heard that the eldest young lady's wedding will be postponed to three years later, and the second young lady is not engaged yet. Could it be that the third young lady is going to marry again?"

Another lady nearby also asked, "Do you feel that the last wedding was unlucky, so you want to re-hold it? Yes, a good wedding was ruined. Although it's not Miss Four's fault, it's a pity for Miss Three. Re-holding it is right. After all, no one needs the money for a wedding. But Miss Three is pregnant, and her belly will soon show, right? Hurry up and hold it. If your belly gets bigger, it won't look good in your wedding dress."

When the story of the Ye family marrying off their daughter was mentioned, many people started laughing. They felt that it was the biggest joke in Lin'an City in recent years, and also the biggest gossip in Lin'an City.

It is so shameless that a first-rank general's mansion would do such a thing as replacing the bride.

The old lady's face was already very ugly. Listening to the endless ridicule from the people, she had to loudly defend the Ye family and herself: "It's not for the third young lady! It's for the fourth young lady!"

"Fourth Miss Ye?" People were stunned. "How is it possible! The fourth lady has demolished the Su Wang Mansion so many times, how could she marry there again? If those two people lived together with such bad tempers, they would definitely burn the house down." "You forgot, the house has already been burned down! Now the Sixth Prince has moved to the other courtyard, but the Su Wang Mansion was burned down to ashes."

When the Su Palace and the Sixth Prince were mentioned, some people turned their attention to Li Yanran. After all, the Li family and the Sixth Prince were related, and the Sixth Prince was Li Yanran's cousin.

Li Yanran's face didn't look very good either, but she still stood straight, with her head slightly raised and a smile on her face.

She walked forward slowly, knelt slightly in front of Old Madam Ye, and said in a very pleasant voice: "Yanran greets Old Madam, and says hello to Old Madam."

The old lady naturally recognized Empress Dowager Li's niece, as she had had frequent contact with her in the past. She also knew very well that Empress Dowager Li had a good relationship with her brother from her natal family, and that the Li family had always supported her.

Seeing Li Yanran greeting her in a sensible way, she was very happy and finally smiled again. She even reached out to help Li Yanran up: "Good child, get up quickly and let me see you... Oh, you are getting more and more beautiful." Li Yanran smiled even sweeter and spoke in a pleasant voice: "Thank you for the compliment, old lady. I am ashamed to accept it."

After saying that, he glanced at the ladies who had just made sarcastic remarks, sighed softly, and then said, "Although the old general is gone, the First-rank General's Mansion is still there, and the great military achievements the old general made for Northern Qi are still there. We should not forget the contributions that the Ye family has made to Northern Qi, and we should not use the children's affairs to tarnish the reputation of the First-rank General's Mansion. The old lady is the widow of General Ye, and she should be respected and loved. No matter what the children in the family do, the old lady is still the old lady after all, no different from before."

Li Yanran's words were equivalent to showing that she wanted to stand on the old lady's side. People began to think about it and soon figured it out.

Yes, the Ye family still has military merits, and the old generals and generals' old subordinates are still there. Just for these relationships, Madam Ye's words are also prestigious among the old subordinates. No matter which path the Li family takes, Madam Ye is the first target to win over.

So no one ridiculed Madam Ye anymore, and no one mentioned the fact that Ye Hongzhuang was pregnant before marriage. But when no one mentioned it, Li Yanran picked up the topic again and asked the old lady, "Hongzhuang's cousin has married my cousin and is the official Princess Su. The marriage that the old lady is talking about is definitely not the cousin's wife. Then it must be the fourth young lady?"

The old lady really likes Li Yanran very much. Look at what she said, it hits the mark exactly.

So he nodded quickly and said, "That's right, the marriage I'm talking about is the fourth girl in the family."

Someone else couldn't help but say, "Didn't the fourth young lady go missing? Her life or death is unknown."

The old lady immediately shook her head. "No, no, at first we thought the fourth young lady was missing, and we sent people from the family to look for her, but unfortunately we never found her. It was not until a few days ago that we heard that she was not missing at all. She just went to drink tea with His Royal Highness Prince Chen that night, and has been with His Royal Highness Prince Chen ever since."

"Oh, you've been with His Royal Highness Prince Chen? What do you mean? Did you move to Prince Chen's mansion?" The old lady nodded, "Yes! Speaking of which, our Yan'er and His Royal Highness Prince Chen are serious senior and junior brothers and sisters, and they have a childhood sweetheart relationship. When her father was alive, he mentioned more than once that he wanted to marry Yan'er to his student. Unfortunately, firstly, His Royal Highness Prince Chen went far away to the Kingdom of Moon, and secondly, Yan'er was obsessed with His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince, so this thing didn't happen. Alas, how can it be said that fate is determined by heaven! After going around in circles, they finally met and felt that they were good to each other, so they got together. So this time when I entered the palace, I also wanted to ask the emperor to make a decision and grant them a marriage."

Madam Jiang frowned when she heard this and said, "When the late emperor was alive, he arranged for Yan'er to be married to the Sixth Prince, but you guys ended up switching the marriage. Now you've chosen the Fourth Prince?"

Madam Ye's face darkened. "What do you mean we chose the Fourth Prince? It was clearly she who chose him."

Madam Jiang did not say anything more, and Jiang Wanting did not say a word. Although they did not believe that Ye Wenyan could live directly in Prince Chen's mansion, His Royal Highness Prince Chen said in person that he invited Ye Wenyan to have tea on the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month. They knew about this because it was in the court at that time, and Minister Jiang was present when His Royal Highness said this.

Furthermore, the Fourth Prince was indeed General Ye's favorite student, and the Jiang family knew about this. Jiang Wanting even advised Ye Wenyan before, saying that the Fourth Prince who went to Guiyue Country was better than the Sixth Prince.

So at this moment they didn't know how to respond, and they just thought that if it was really the Fourth Prince, it seemed like a good thing.

For a moment, people were talking about what Old Lady Ye said.

Just then, the second carriage of the Ye family arrived.

People watched as Mrs. Mu, the wife of Ye Da, stepped down from the carriage, followed closely by two beautiful young ladies.

One is Ye Qingmei, the eldest daughter of the Ye family, and the other is none other than Ye Wenyan, the fourth daughter of the Ye family who was previously rumored to have been lost in the suburbs of Beijing and who was now confirmed by Old Madam Ye to have been living in the Palace of Prince Dust!

Madam Ye was in a trance...
