She Became A Downfall Noble Lady

Maternal Aunt Liu sighed deeply. She truly had not raised her daughter or son well. They might seem perfectly fine when nothing was wrong, but once a crisis arose, every one of them would be useless. Especially her daughter, who, while more intelligent than her sons, was also much more petty-minded.

Maternal Aunt Liu felt disheartened as she spoke, "Think it over carefully again, and you can also discuss it with your two younger brothers. I’m confined here, unaware of the specific situation outside, so I’m unable to make plans. I’m already of this age; it is your lives that stretch out before you, and from now on, you will have to strategize for your own futures."

Ye Xinyi could sense Maternal Aunt Liu’s cold indifference toward her. It was only when they had first reunited that Maternal Aunt Liu had cried bitterly. After that, she gradually showed a detached and distant demeanor.

Feeling uneasy in her heart, Ye Xinyi hesitated before asking, "Aunt, are you upset that your daughter hasn’t come to see you?"

A pain pierced Maternal Aunt Liu’s heart, yet her expression did not change, her face remained calm, and she did not respond.

A look of misery crossed Ye Xinyi’s face. She didn’t intend for things to be like this, but her days in Ji Mansion were also difficult.

Tears falling, she said, "I heard people discussing that there was a commotion at the door of Duke’s Mansion during a wedding procession, and that grandfather had taken a very firm stance. Not only did he turn away the troublemakers, but he also publicly embarrassed my father. I wanted to come back at that time, but as you know, the Ji Family has strict rules, and my in-laws wouldn’t allow it. Then the news spread that grandfather was going to petition the court to strip my father of his Princely Heir status. My situation at my in-laws’ place was really difficult; I couldn’t come back."

Maternal Aunt Liu felt even more disappointed in Ye Xinyi.
