She Became A Downfall Noble Lady

Jiang Yifan seemed very satisfied with Ye Xinyan’s explanation, "So even the years of youthful vigor can be compensated with silver." There was clear pleasure on his face, "I actually have my doubts about what kind of environment you were raised in. You look like an educated and knowledgeable woman, so why do you care so little about your conduct and demeanor?"

Jiang Yifan pointed at the area between Ye Xinyan’s brows and eyes, saying, "Just like this squinting look you have right now—it’s very ungraceful."

Ye Xinyan turned her head, intending to leave. Graceful, my ass. Neither she nor the original owner knew what being graceful was all about. If she let him beat around the bush a little longer, she’d be treated like a demon and subdued in a ritual.

Jiang Yifan, as if he hadn’t seen Ye Xinyan turn around, continued, "I later reflected upon our journey to Yuyuan Prefecture, which was the first time you saw me after leaving the Duke’s Mansion. It was only a short period since we last met, but you didn’t recognize me at first sight, which was already very abnormal."

Ye Xinyan finally caught an opportunity to retort and said, "Circumstances change, and after several months without meeting, whether it is one’s state of mind or appearance, there are always some changes."

Jiang Yifan was in a very good mood, "After all, we are husband and wife, and it had only been two or three months since we parted, it’s not as if you couldn’t recognize a person standing right in front of you. Just like my reaction—it was perfectly reasonable. Although you had changed a lot, and I was in a hurry to continue my journey, I managed to recognize you in an instant as I passed by."

These accumulations of thoughts in his heart were finally being voiced to her, he couldn’t help feeling delighted.

Considering the current circumstances, which could be seen as the worst, Ye Xinyan simply sat back down in her chair. Here she was, rendered speechless by Jiang Yifan with all these doubtful points. What would she do if several more people came to question her?

No matter what came later, at least Jiang Yifan harbored no malice now. If she really had to return to the capital someday, would she have an even harder time answering the interrogations from Maternal Aunt Liu and Ye Xinyi?

She frowned and asked, "Lord Jiang, what do you mean by cornering me in this room and asking all these questions? Surely Lord Jiang isn’t so kind-hearted and idle as to just remind me to prepare for future difficulties, right?"

Jiang Yifan also leisurely seated himself back in the chair and replied slowly, "At first, I intended to tell you what Nanny Jin said, simply to let you prepare for the future. But then, after talking for a bit longer, I ended up expressing these little things that were accumulating in my heart, and I must say, it feels very good to have said them."
