Chapter 406 - 405: A Good Omen
Although Ye Xinyan had been anxious about what it would be like to meet Madam Yin, seeing her as she was filled Ye Xinyan with a heavy heart, her throat constricted, and she could hardly speak.
Gently, she embraced Madam Yin, soothingly patting her back, and after a long while, whispered, "Wife of the heir apparent mustn’t be sad, haven’t we met now? There will be plenty of opportunities to talk and be close in the future. Let us not lose our composure in front of others, lest they see and gossip behind our backs."
It had to be said that Madam Yin’s feelings for her daughter were different from others. Despite the multitude of maids and old woman servants around them, and all the words they had spoken, none compared to what Ye Xinyan had just said.
The moment Ye Xinyan finished speaking, Madam Yin reluctantly let go of her arms, wiping her tears with a handkerchief, all the while nodding repeatedly, "What Ah Yan says is right. We can’t lose our composure and be laughed at, we cannot give those wicked people a chance to talk behind our backs."
Although Madam Yin’s words were unpleasant, Nanny Qian breathed a sigh of relief. It was only when the young mistress spoke that it mattered.
She gave Ye Xinyan another lingering look, her heart filled with amazement. The young mistress was indeed different from before, not just in demeanor but also in the way she spoke, which was unlike her former thoughtless self. Just now, with only a suggestive glance, Ye Xinyan had actually gotten the hint, to the fortune of the wife of the heir apparent.
Nanny Qian praised, "The young lady is truly courteous and sensible; the wife of the heir apparent hasn’t missed speaking about you these past days. Let’s go inside, the elders from Marquis Zhongyong’s Mansion are also waiting in the hall, you ought to see them."
Ye Xinyan nodded, then said to Madam Yin, "There are also my younger brother and cousin here, should they come along to meet the elders?"
