She Became A Downfall Noble Lady

Madam Yin gently patted Ye Xinyan’s arm. Although she was very satisfied with her daughter’s current situation, there were also concerns weighing on her heart.

"Ah Yan, you are a young lady and, although capable, you shouldn’t work too hard. Your mother’s dowry wasn’t small to begin with, and the Pastry House we opened has been thriving. We’ve made a tidy sum of silver this past year. I will manage well, and all the silver I earn is yours, Ah Yan. You don’t have to work as hard as you did earlier, waking up at dawn and busying yourself till dusk. If you really wish to work, just treat it as a distraction, something to while away the time and keep your spirits up."

Ye Xinyan mumbled an acknowledgment, then looking at the serving girls and Nanny Huang in the room, she said to Madam Yin, "Mother, I have something I want to discuss with you."

Upon hearing these words from the young miss, Nanny Huang knew she had private matters to discuss with the wife of the heir apparent.

She looked to Madam Yin and saw her motioning for everyone to leave. Nanny Huang summoned the serving girls, and together they exited the room.

Ye Xinyan roughly repeated to Madam Yin what Yin Xiaocheng had said to her that day.

As expected, Madam Yin couldn’t keep her composure and immediately exclaimed in shock, "How could His Highness Prince Yu do this? Our Ah Yan is from a respectable family; how could she possibly become his concubine? What is this arrangement where you follow him without a clear status? If that’s the case, your children won’t be able to hold their heads up in public in the future. Ah Yan, listen to me, we can’t go down this path, no matter what."

Ye Xinyan had to resist the urge to roll her eyes at these words. No wonder her uncle chose not to discuss these matters with her mother and instead came directly to her, his niece. It turned out such things simply couldn’t be discussed with her mother. It was fortunate that at the moment when she had spoken, she had sent everyone out of the room. If others had heard this, would she really end up being Jinrong’s concubine?
