Chapter 1466: Cannot Leave (6)
There’s a saying, "If you wish to stand out, wear mourning attire"; it speaks to the different kind of elegance a girl exudes when clad in all white.
The woman who entered was wearing plain white mourning clothes, which, combined with her exquisite features, made anyone’s first glance at her engender a sense of pity.
However... this young lady, or more accurately, this little girl, seemed to be accustomed to hopping and skipping about, and she was clearly not used to walking in such tiny, measured steps. Thus, the moment she entered, she accidentally stepped on the hem of her skirt.
Fortunately, a quick-witted maid was at her side and steadied her before she could take a tumble.
Yang Ruxin slightly lowered her gaze, masking the amusement in her eyes.
The young girl gave an embarrassed smile, then lifted her skirt in distaste, though perhaps because there were others present, she refrained from any further movements.
Peng Qian’s brows furrowed slightly, exhibiting a hint of helplessness, yet she still reached out and beckoned, "Jiahui, this is Madam Gu, the wife of General Gu. Hurry and pay your respects to Madam Gu." Then she turned to Yang Ruxin, "This is my concubine-born daughter, the daughter of that girl, Sirou. Her name is Ye Jiahui, she just turned thirteen..."
Yang Ruxin nodded slightly; Gu Qingheng had thoroughly investigated the Ye Family matters beforehand, so Shadow Seven had filled her in on the way here.
