She Became A Downfall Noble Lady

Later, a young girl from Zhou Bingyi’s family got involved, with Zhou Biyao pestering Ye Xinyan, and Ye Xinyan, finding it annoying, actually sent her off to Wong Qiao, which gave Jinrong some relief.

What Jinrong did not expect was that Zhou Bingyi really had the guts to go through with it. Just after the fifth day of the new year, Zhou Bingyi sent his second daughter to the Qi family.

Zhou Bingyi’s thoughts were beyond Jinrong’s concern, but what was interesting was Zhou Biyao. Clearly, judging from the past couple of days, Zhou Biyao had her own ideas. Isn’t there a saying that goes, "A girl chasing a boy is separated by a mere layer of gauze"? Considering the Second Miss Zhou’s bright and brash vigor, if she took a liking to Wong Qiao, it would only be a matter of time before Wong Qiao ended up in the young girl’s hands.

By comparison, Ye Xinyan’s confused handling of affairs between men and women meant that even if she had any ideas, she stood no chance in front of the forthright young lady of the Zhou family.

At this thought, Jinrong felt a stir in his heart. He asked Jiang Yifan, "Do you think Ye Zi has feelings for Wong Qiao, and she is feeling jealous because of Zhou Biyao’s arrival, which is why she wants to be alone to clear her mind?"

Jiang Yifan had originally thought so too, but after listening to Ye Xinyan sing so many songs, none of them contained the plaintive self-pity of women. Although many exuded a sense of melancholy, the faint, leisurely sentiment seemed to be more of a lament for the passage of time and a yearning for the carefree days gone by rather than for heartache over romantic attachment.

Perhaps there was some sense of loss regarding Wong Qiao, but that was just a part of it, not the whole.

Jiang Yifan did not answer Jinrong’s question. It was not his place to suggest, nor did he want Ye Xinyan to set her heart on another man.
