Chapter 469 - 467 The Common Court Official’s Daughter-in-law
Ye Xinyan was merely a child brought up in a common family, working her way through school and jobs. How could she have experienced the scheming of high estate mansions before? Now there was an opportunity delivered right to her door, allowing her to take home advantage and practice on Ye Xinyi, a most advantageous situation.
She saw that Ye Xinyi was still in shock and at a loss for words, and said in surprise, "Could it be that Xinyi, you truly have nothing to arrange, and simply came to see mother out of pure heart? It really takes so much effort for you. Now that we have seen each other, since we don’t get along, rather than staying here being insincere and plotting behind each other’s backs, it’s better we each mind our own business. Xinyi, you should go to Maternal Aunt Liu’s place and get close to your mother. The door is that way; I won’t see you out."
Standing by, Nanny Huang stared with surprised eyes at her young mistress. The young mistress had become so formidable? Others speak with veiled insults, but the young mistress, she speaks the blunt truth, who could bear that?
Cui Bai and Cui Zhu both tightly pursed their lips, fearing that they would betray a smile. What a pity that the Second Miss had put on such a stately and elegant air, only to encounter the unyielding words of the eldest sister, rendering her effort utterly wasted.
As for Nanny Jin, she had long grown used to such things, and simply stood by Ye Xinyan’s side with her eyelids drooped and her face calm and composed, the epitome of serenity. She couldn’t manage the eldest mistress’ actions, and even if she did say something and the eldest mistress agreed to change, she would revert to her usual ways afterwards.
Ye Xinyi realized that prying into the hearts of Madam Yin and her daughter was utterly useless, not to mention now she faced the prospect of being thrown out.
Unable to worry about anything else, she hurriedly explained, "My sister, I just haven’t seen you for such a long time. Seeing you now, I am overwhelmed and unsettled; it’s not that I don’t wish to respond to your question."
"Oh, then what are you here for?" Ye Xinyan’s tone was a bit scorching. Indeed, there was no need for them to maintain a pleasant façade in their relationship.
