She Became A Downfall Noble Lady

Ye Xinyi, though she hated Ye Xinyan so much that her teeth itched, could not fight against the circumstances. She composed herself and inclined her body slightly towards Ye Xinyan, saying indifferently, "Thank you, elder sister, for informing me of the matters at home. Now that I am married, even though I’m worried about father and Maternal Aunt Liu, I must inform my in-laws and consult with my husband before I can return to my family’s home. I have been out for quite a long time, so if elder sister has no other instructions, I shall return now."

Ye Xinyan watched as she adjusted her hairpin and attire, preparing to leave the carriage, and couldn’t help but scoff inwardly. Maternal Aunt Liu’s daughter was really something, with her birth mother in such a dismal state, the first thing she thought of was herself.

As Ye Xinyan watched her step down from the carriage with the aid of a stool, she offered a suggestion, "In fact, if Second Miss wishes, she can go back to her family’s home without incurring grandmother’s wrath. You can express your concern to grandmother, telling her that you are especially returning to see your father. Although grandfather and grandmother have dealt with their son, the bond of blood and affection cannot be severed, and in the end, they still feel for their child. If you say this, grandmother would surely be consoled and would give you a warmer reception."

Having said this much, it was now up to Ye Xinyi whether she would go back or not.

Ye Xinyan genuinely hoped that Ye Xinyi would go back to see Maternal Aunt Liu, to witness her current situation and see how useless her father, who had lost his position as Princely Heir, really was. This would add to her distress, and let her understand that she would no longer have a chance to obtain through Ye Hongyang what she wasn’t entitled to.

Maternal Aunt Liu and her children were all incapable; their lives depended entirely on the Princely Heir Ye Hongyang. From now on, with Ye Hongyang leading a strained and dim existence himself, their future was predictable.

Ye Heng and Ye Yi were still alright, even if they were not very capable, with the background of Duke An’s Mansion, they would at least lead a better life than ordinary families.

But Ye Xinyi’s situation was different. Her husband’s family would not allow her to be barely better than an ordinary household. In such a family known for their noble and educational heritage, lacking the profound scholarly atmosphere of a family of scholars, and with a father who was no longer noble and prestigious, her plight in the presence of three sisters-in-law with influential maiden families, was imaginable.
