She Became A Downfall Noble Lady

Madam Yin’s heart, which had just settled, tensed up again when she heard Ye Xinyan say with distress, "I also feel that Jiang Yifan truly cares for me, but he will never treat me unconditionally well like Mother, right? If I were to marry him, I would have to leave Mother alone in Duke An’s Mansion, and I really can’t be at ease about leaving her."

Madam Yin hadn’t even thought of the matter regarding Ye Xinyan’s persuasion to divorce, and with surprise she said, "Mother is perfectly fine staying in Duke An’s Mansion, what are you worried about? Yuanfan is also serving in the capital, even if you get married, you can still come back and visit Mother often, that should be enough to put your mind at ease."

Ye Xinyan slumped in her chair, her face etched with immense worry, "Jiang Yifan is a good person, and if your daughter marries him, she will naturally lead a happy life." As she spoke, Ye Xinyan felt a shiver of goosebumps rising up her back, "But if your daughter goes to enjoy a good life and leaves Mother all alone in Duke An’s Mansion... Father doesn’t treat you well, how can I rest assured?"

Madam Yin never expected her daughter to harbor such cunning thoughts; she only felt a flood of emotion filling her heart, which was intermingled with a touch of sadness.

"Ah Yan, needn’t worry about Mother. As long as Ah Yan is happy, Mother is satisfied. Inside and outside of Mother’s quarter, everyone is our own, it’s taken care of wonderfully; there’s no need for you to worry. You just need to live your life well and not cause Mother any concern, that’s all," she said.

Ye Xinyan shook her head, "Even if you are well taken care of in the Duke’s Mansion, you are still all alone. I will never abandon Mother to enjoy life by myself."

Madam Yin was stunned; what had originally seemed a hopeful situation, how had it suddenly become hopeless after a few exchanges?

"What’s with you, child, why can’t you make sense when you speak?" she said.
