She Became A Downfall Noble Lady

Madam Liang cast her eyes down and let out a cold laugh, "Sister-in-law, you think too highly of your elder sister—how significant is a Prefect, anyway? In this world, there are plenty of influential people who keep a low profile. What does it matter if the Qi family doesn’t have a place for me to stay? Even if the Old Master himself came and the Qi family did not receive us, we would still happily find another place to go."

Lady Liu curled her lips in disdain—like that was your choice! Absolutely nonsensical. You and your husband have exhaustively toadied up to Sixth Master Rong. Who could possibly control you?

Madam Liang coldly regarded Lady Liu, who wore a look of disdain, "I came here this time specifically to visit the wife of the heir of Duke An at the Qi family in Clear Water Village."

"..." Lady Liu was astonished, turned her head to glance at Liang Qiyuan, wondering where did such dignitaries come from in their place? That little village? There wasn’t even a proper house, let alone possible?

A trace of a cold smile flickered across Madam Liang’s lips as she continued to speak slowly: "The wife of the Qi family’s head, originally Duke An’s legitimate elder granddaughter, is named Ye Xinyan. She ran away from home in a fit of pique with a personal maid and just happened to encounter Old Master Qi, Qi Younian, who then settled down in Clear Water Village with her."

Madam Liang deliberately slowed down her pace of speaking. Lady Liu was so shocked by the first few sentences that her eyes widened. As soon as Madam Liang finished speaking, Lady Liu’s legs gave way and she almost fell to the ground.

Liang Qiyuan was also frightened out of his wits; seeing Lady Liu’s body sway, he hastily reached out to grab her.

"Before the New Year, Duke An’s Mansion sent people to bring Miss Ye back to the capital. It is said that Miss Ye still has unresolved business in Yuyuan Prefecture, so after the New Year, Miss Ye returned to take care of the business before going back. With Miss Ye also came the wife of Duke An’s heir apparent."
