Chapter 1665 - 1667: Auntie—Is She Really That Old?
Moreover, was she wrong? The Ye Family never had much in the way of etiquette or rules. She wasn’t oblivious to it. Ye Zi’an, her cousin, was said to be the son of her second aunt, making him a relative of the Luo Family. Ye Zi’an was just a junior, having settled in the Capital City without visiting the Luo Family, not even during festivals, without any holiday gifts. How could that be considered proper?
"I’m sorry, I’m sorry, my daughter is still young and was a bit anxious not seeing her cousin, so she spoke somewhat unpleasantly. I hope Madam Ye will not hold it against a child." Ms.Li of Luo Family quickly stepped in to smooth things over after hearing her daughter misspeak. Today, meeting that little wench was crucial. They couldn’t stir up trouble, lest Madam Ye block them from seeing the little wench, which would be a real problem.
"Madam Ye, could you please let Linyu come out, just to see her grandmother and express her grandmother’s longing for her."
"Madam Ye, my granddaughter has been spoiled since childhood and is frank by nature. If she offended you, I apologize on her behalf," Old Madam Luo said, seeing Yang Chuxia’s displeased expression. "However, that girl Linyu, please have Madam Ye call her out. I must see this granddaughter today; otherwise, I won’t be able to eat or sleep. I hope Madam Ye can understand the pain of a grandmother missing her granddaughter."
"Mother, may I come in?"
Yang Chuxia was just about to respond to Old Madam Luo when she saw a cheerful little head pop in at the door. Who else could it be but Yangyang?
Seeing her son, Yang Chuxia’s heart filled with joy as she waved him in, "Come in."
"Mother, the ice you had made is delicious. Please have the kitchen make it again tomorrow," Yangyang ran in and hugged her legs, pleading.
"Don’t just think about eating. Can’t you see we have guests in the room? Go and greet them."
Upon hearing this, Yangyang turned his head, saw them, and immediately laughed, "Old Madam Luo, I’ve seen you before. You spoke at the palace banquet."
Hearing the child speak, Yang Chuxia’s lips twitched. Of all things not to mention, he had to bring this up. Sure enough, he continued, "You were competing with our family for the throne."
That one sentence nearly choked Old Madam Luo and made everyone present unbearably embarrassed, unsure whether to sit or leave.
"Oh, is this the little young master? Is he Prince An?" Second Madam Luo, who hadn’t seen the two children before, assumed Yangyang was Prince An.
"Who are you?" Yangyang curiously asked, "I’m not Prince An; my brother is."
"Yangyang, this is Second Madam Luo, and beside her is First Madam Luo, and this young lady is Miss Luo Linfei."
"Oh, Ye Haoyang pays respects to the two Madams. Hello, Madams, and hello, Aunt Luo."
Seeing Yangyang clasp his hands and bow, Yang Chuxia wanted to laugh, thinking that the child must have been eavesdropping outside the door earlier; otherwise, how could he directly taunt Luo Linfei?
One word, aunt, and Luo Linfei was fuming with a headache. Aunt? Did she look that old?
What an annoying child, truly worthy of being raised by the Ye Family.
"So it’s Yangyang," Second Madam Luo said, smiling. "What a nice name. I am your second grandaunt."
"Why is it another second grandaunt?" Upon hearing this, Yangyang frowned, "Second grandaunt sounds terrifying." He thought of Yang Chuxia’s second grandaunt, Ms.Qian of Wang Family. "Of course, my name is good. It was bestowed by the Emperor. How could it not be good?"
