Chapter 458 - 456 Superficial and Unpromising
Maternal Aunt Liu chatted with Ye Hongyang in a disengaged manner, yet her mind was in a tangle.
On one hand, she hoped that Prince Yu would get rid of Ye Xinyan sooner rather than later, sending her to the Prince’s mansion or some other courtyard. Then he should hurry and take back his principal wife. That way, Ye Xinyan’s fate would be sealed. If Prince Yu’s principal wife didn’t discover the situation immediately or decided not to act, she wouldn’t mind lending a hand, passing a message, pushing things forward.
On the other hand, she didn’t want to see Ye Xinyan actually become Prince Yu’s woman. Such a Ye Xinyan would boast with such insufferable pride, and even if it was short-lived, she didn’t want to witness it.
Before these things happened, she had to endure; she had to tolerate Ye Xinyan’s boastful pride, and she also had to endure the period of Duke An and the Duchess growing old. The Duchess was easy to handle, but Duke An was different. As long as Duke An was in this mansion, she had no place to speak.
In the past, she could express her opinions through Ye Hongyang, but now, even Ye Hongyang was firmly in Duke An’s grasp. What evil had taken over that old thing, Duke An? Ye Hongyang was his only son, yet the old man constantly wanted them to leave Duke An’s Mansion.
How could she give up such wealth and honor? Therefore, she could only endure, endure until the day she became the true mistress of Duke An’s Mansion. Once Ye Hongyang inherited the title, Madam Yin would become irrelevant. If she were sensible, she would take her divorce paper back to Marquis Zhongyong’s Mansion. If not, she would wait to follow the old couple into the grave.
She had to endure. Those who could endure to the end would have the last laugh.
Having figured out the situation, Maternal Aunt Liu wasn’t in a hurry anymore. She followed Ye Hongyang’s lead and said, "You must be very busy. I am merely curious about what’s so good about those two Qi family youngsters that both the Duke and the young miss are willing to protect them."
