She Became A Downfall Noble Lady

Jiang Yifan suppressed the torrent of emotions within him and said to Jinrong, "Just remember what you said, let her make her choices based on her own true feelings, and never coerce her at any time."

Jinrong let out a sneer, "As if Ye Xinyan could be coerced? Even when she was in the capital behaving without thinking, she never bowed her head to anyone. Now that she possesses significant skills, you really think she can be controlled? I don’t understand your thinking."

However, Jiang Yifan countered, "That’s not the same. The Ye Xinyan of the past had the backing of Duke An’s Mansion; even if she caused trouble, someone would always clean up after her. The Qi Ye of now has nobody capable of protecting her at her back. In today’s matter, if it weren’t for the Qi family’s old and young, she might have made a different choice."

Jinrong remained silent for a moment. When he saw Ye Xinyan standing there, hesitant and full of conflict, he knew what she was concerned about.

"Isn’t it a good thing for a person to have some concerns? Her abilities are grand and significant; it’s fine if they’re kept hidden and unused, but revealing them as a common girl would only bring trouble for her and the Qi family. Relying on a powerful influence is the obvious choice. Surely you don’t want her choosing someone else?"

As he spoke, he reached across the table to pat Jiang Yifan’s shoulder, stood up, and said, "Alright, I understand your thoughts. There’s a saying, ’A daughter of one’s own is courted by a hundred families,’ especially for a woman as outstanding as her. Our friendship started in our youth, through life and death. A woman shouldn’t cause us to harm that bond, but we also shouldn’t let a coveted woman slip through our fingers. As long as it doesn’t hinder important matters, let’s each rely on our own abilities."

Jiang Yifan silently folded his hands in acknowledgement. This ’relying on one’s own abilities’ seemed fair, but in reality, he was already at a disadvantage.

It was no idle remark when Jinrong spoke of relying on one’s own abilities; just after noon the next day, a carriage stopped in front of the Second Branch family’s gate in Clear Water Village.
