Chapter 390 - 389 February
Ye Xinyan gave her a sidelong glance and said coolly, "As a wife who was cast out by her husband, I naturally don’t have that many rules to follow. You, as a proper young lady, of course, need to conduct yourself with proper decorum to spend harmonious days with your perfect gentleman. If you were like me, wouldn’t you also be despised by your husband?"
"Is that so?" Zhou Biyao’s eyes aimlessly looked ahead, and after a long while, she said disconsolately, "If I could live as unrestrainedly as Sister, even if despised by my husband, wouldn’t it be worth it? It’s just too bad I’m not as capable as Sister; even if I really left home, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to live such an unrestrained life."
Ye Xinyan raised an eyebrow. What did that mean? Following the logic from her previous life, if one had to choose between a career and a husband, then choose the career?
"If you could be like me, would you be willing to give up your husband or fiancé?" Ye Xinyan asked.
"Ah?" Zhou Biyao turned her gaze back to Ye Xinyan. Perhaps recalling Wong Qiao, she then blushed and murmured softly, "I was just saying... I want to find a husband who would allow me to work, not marry some young master or something."
"Oh," Ye Xinyan nodded. So it was Wong Qiao then.
While Jiu Yue was organizing the clothes Ye Xinyan had changed out of, Zhou Biyao quietly asked her, "Sister, are you going to reconcile with Lord Jiang?"
Ye Xinyan looked up from her cup—reconcile? So... everyone knows now. In the past, only those from Prince Yu’s Mansion and Duke An’s Mansion knew of her identity, and it remained an unspoken understanding. Now, anyone who entered this courtyard would know exactly who she was.
