Chapter 738 - 736: This Is How Your Legitimate Elder Sister Grew Up
It was clear what Madam Zhou meant; she didn’t want to see her anymore, did she?
Once Ye Xinyi heard the words passed on by the maid, she immediately placed her hand on a teacup, her grip tightening and loosening, again and again, almost biting her lip through, but in the end, she dared not smash the teacup to the floor.
Maternal Aunt Liu from Liu Xiang’s residence who followed in hurriedly came forward, steadied her arm, took the teacup from her hand, and said in a low voice, "Fourth madam, please restrain your anger for the moment. The madam is furious right now; we must not cause any more trouble." Saying this, she gestured for her to look at the young master who was playing on the couch.
Ye Xinyi glanced at Ji Sheng, who was intently fitting together a tangram, and took a deep breath. Madam Zhou’s actions, showing no consideration for her dignity in front of her sisters-in-law, filled Ye Xinyi’s heart with anger.
Yet as time ticked away and dinner had been reheated twice, Ji Chengru had still not returned, Ye Xinyi’s anger slowly turned to anxiousness.
In the past, even if Ji Chengru did not come back for dinner, he would always send someone to tell her, allowing her to dine herself. But today, after the incident, Ji Chengru also changed his usual ways, making it impossible for her not to worry.
Under the earnest gaze of Ji Sheng, she had no choice but to serve him dinner first and let him eat.
Ye Xinyi, looking at the soup and dishes in front of her that had gone cold once more, turned her dull gaze towards Maternal Aunt Liu from Liu Xiang’s residence. Even the young Ji Sheng realized something was amiss and nestled quietly by his wet nurse’s side, not daring to make a sound.
Maternal Aunt Liu from Liu Xiang’s residence also inwardly sighed, gestured to the maids to reheat the meal again, and then advised Ye Xinyi, "Fourth madam, please eat first. You didn’t have lunch and you can’t go on like this. If you’re concerned about Fourth Master, you can set aside food for him."
It wasn’t until the Xu Hour that Ji Sheng, unable to resist sleepiness, fell asleep, and Ji Chengru returned looking exhausted.
