She Became A Downfall Noble Lady

Ye Xinyan gestured for the coachman to put down the stool and watched as Ye Xinyi stepped onto the stool, boarded the carriage, and settled in.

She couldn’t be bothered to put on airs with Ye Xinyi and asked, "Did Second Miss stop my carriage on the street because she had urgent business? I have been quite busy these days, so if Second Miss has something to say, please speak up. Once we’re done, we can go our separate ways."

Ye Xinyi, already full of worry, felt an intense dislike upon facing the calm and composed Ye Xinyan.

Yet, in order to inquire about Maternal Aunt Liu, she had to force a smile and said, "Why has sister suddenly become so estranged from me? In the past, you always called me by my name. Sister, please call me Xinyi as before, so that it shows our sisterly closeness."

Ye Xinyan looked indifferently at Ye Xinyi until she became somewhat uncomfortable and then said, "Second Miss knows, I am a straightforward person, not as clever and intricate as Second Miss. I can’t engage in such outward pretenses. If Second Miss has something to say, please speak quickly. If not, please excuse yourself and do not delay my work."

Ye Xinyi’s expression stiffened, and she glanced at Song Ping’s Household members and Jiu Yue inside the carriage, thinking to herself, "Indeed, she is still a fool. In front of the servants, she doesn’t know how to moderate her words, nor does she know how to preserve the basic decency of appearance."

She then turned to Song Ping’s Household with a smile and said, "I want to talk to my sister about some personal matters. Great Aunt and this sister, please step aside for a moment."

Song Ping’s Household member sat quietly, eyes downcast, as if she hadn’t heard anyone speak to her, and didn’t even glance up at Ye Xinyan, waiting to see what Ye Xinyan would suggest.
