Chapter 743 - 741: Nothing much about a daughter’s demeanor
It’s no wonder Steward Zhang would have such an idea; the main reason is that when Miss Ye heard about the imperial edict being announced from the palace, her expression was too composed, giving one the impression that she was accustomed to receiving orders.
Ye Xinyan’s calm and collected demeanor just now gave Yuan Shang some reassurance, but he was still worried. The audacity of his family’s young miss was not ordinary – even if there really was a problem, he feared she wouldn’t panic.
At this moment, after hearing Steward Zhang’s sigh, Yuan Shang’s slight worry turned into pride, "My family’s young miss possesses exceptional courage and wisdom, naturally not comparable to ordinary young ladies from other families. Steward Zhang, rest assured, not only does my family’s young miss have extraordinary bravery and intelligence, but the work she manages is also outstanding. In the following days, she will undoubtedly have a satisfactory manor arrangement for you."
......
In this era, there isn’t the convenience of dialing a mobile number and being able to find someone’s location instantly. Even though the will of the Emperor is very prestigious, sending out people and horses to search for someone still requires effort, or rather, it mainly consumes time.
Fortunately, Ye Xinyan was able to ride a horse, which made up for the time she spent arranging the renovation of the manor.
When she entered Duke An’s Mansion and saw the three eunuchs bearing the imperial edict in the Flower Hall of the backyard, accompanied by Madam Yin, she couldn’t help but take an extra glance at the eunuchs, hoping to discern some clues from their faces. At the very least, she wanted to detect some signs of good or bad fortune to be mentally prepared.
At that time, Duke An was still out on official duties and hadn’t returned, leaving only Madam Yin, Ye Hongyang, and the steward Qiao Laiyun accompanying the Eunuch Proclaiming the Imperial Edict.
Duke An’s Mansion was not a family that could be casually neglected, and this Miss Ye was not only ranked in His Majesty’s consideration but was also known for not acting according to the rules.
Therefore, when the eunuchs saw Ye Xinyan hurry in, they hurriedly stood up with a smile.
