Chapter 574 finally returned home.
She had originally planned to have Ye Jiu stay in the room next to hers, but when Ye Changsheng mentioned that daughters of major households each have their own separate courtyard, Madam He changed her mind at once.
In the past, they lacked the means, but now that the family’s circumstances had improved, naturally, she also wanted to raise her daughter like a young lady from a wealthy family.
"Then Sister Qingyue can temporarily rest in my courtyard for now. I’ll make arrangements when I’m free," Ye Jiu said.
Although both Qingyue and Qing Li suggested that Qingyue stay by Ye Jiu’s side to serve her, Ye Jiu certainly did not dare to actually let Qingyue become her maidservant.
The girl was attractive and had a good figure, plus she knew martial arts. She wasn’t in such desperate straits that she needed to sell herself into servitude, so Ye Jiu couldn’t bring herself to take advantage of her in such a way.
After Qingyue and Lin Songhan had left, Madam He then asked, "My dear treasure, who is that girl...?"
"She is the younger sister of a friend I met outside. Her brother has some matters to attend to, so she will be staying with our family for a while," Ye Jiu explained.
No sooner had she finished speaking than from outside, a small figure suddenly came barreling towards them, only to come to an abrupt halt when it stood before Ye Jiu.
Ye Qingzhi had been playing outside, but when she suddenly heard that her young aunt had returned, she rushed home.
