Chapter 268 - 263: Heroine and Demoness
When a girl marries, it’s not only the husband’s character that matters, but also the family she is marrying into. Ye Lingxian herself is an orphan, raised alongside her senior brother by their Master, who also served as their marriage witness. Therefore, Ye Lingxian had no worries about dealing with difficulties from her husband’s family.
But it’s different for her daughter. Her future in-laws are the renowned Chongjian Manor. Although they, as a couple, don’t fear the strength of the other party, if their daughter can’t get along with her in-laws, they surely can’t just go and fight them, can they?
The daughters of the Jianghu may not face as many constraints as court officials and commoners, but women undoubtedly end up at a disadvantage.
Now that Lin Shuanghua seems genuinely fond of her daughter, Ye Lingxian finally lets her guard down. With in-laws who are courteous and a husband who is considerate, she can rest easy about marrying her daughter off to them.
"Since it’s a rare occasion to be out of Medicine Valley, why not stay in Yunzhou City a bit longer, so that we as a couple can take good care of you," Lin Shuanghua said, holding Ye Lingxian’s hand.
Having said that, she looked at Ye Qiu and commented, "It’s because Qiu’er is so sensible that we’ve allowed you to remain secluded in Medicine Valley for ten years. Ordinary people would have grown unhappy with such a life long ago."
Ye Lingxian shook her head with a bemused smile: "How could that be? It’s this girl who pestered us to leave the Valley! This girl has been spoiled by us since she was little; Sister-in-law Lin, please don’t find her bothersome these next few days."
"I think Qiu’er is quite lovely, lively, and bright. Not like my own son, who spends all day with his sword practice and is utterly boring," Lin Shuanghua remarked, seemingly complaining but in reality boasting, yet without any intent to belittle Ye Qiu.
Although Ye Qiu’s martial arts might not be advanced, after all, she’s only ten years old. It’s very normal for children to be playful. And since entering the gates of Chongjian Manor, Ye Qiu has been acting very sensibly, not staring around at the splendor indiscriminately but appearing quite dignified.
This demeanor actually surprised Ye Chongtian and Ye Lingxian for a moment, but then they thought about it; after all, she is their child. Although Medicine Valley might not be as grand as Chongjian Manor, it’s still exquisite and beautiful, so there’s no reason for their daughter to be envious.
