Chapter 196 A cacophony of voices

Ye Wan, her three maids, and Hui Gu rode in a horse-drawn carriage, driven by the family's coachman.

Er Ya poked her head out and said, "It looks like her. If you don't look closely, you might think it's a man."

"Er Ya, you're not allowed to talk about people like that." Da Ya gave her a helpless look.

Er Ya's mouth is so sharp; I wonder how many people she'll offend in the future.

Er Ya didn't take it seriously. "It's nothing. If you said she was a man, she'd be happy."

The silly girl wished she were a man. If she were a man, she wouldn't be abandoned by her family, nor would she be disliked for eating too much. She would be so happy to dress up as a man and go to the battlefield.

Er Ya had actually thought before that it would be better if she were a boy, then her biological parents wouldn't have sold her.

"Silly boy, your aunt is here? You didn't know?"

Lady Dou chuckled and looked at Lingniang. "By the way, you'd better tell your aunt quickly, someone's eager to curry favor with Lord Lin!"

The silly girl stared at Lingniang with wide eyes, "What, you want to be my uncle's concubine?"

Lingniang was both ashamed and angry. "How could you say such a thing about me! When did I ever do such a thing? We all came from the same place and were just looking out for each other. How can you say it's so filthy?"

"Did I specifically name you?" Lady Dou drawled.

"Tsk, do you think everyone is as foolish as that Qin the Big Guy, fawning over you? What a pity for Lord Lin. He's as clear-headed as a mirror; he saw right through your little tricks long ago."

It's fine to like Lin Anyuan, but you shouldn't string him along and treat him like a dog. Aren't you afraid of retribution?

"You weren't talking about me, so who were you talking about? You're disgusting!"

The two started arguing.

Ye Wan's carriage arrived, and she heard everything clearly. She never expected that Lin Anyuan was involved.

Looking at Lingniang not far away, tsk, another peach blossom.

I was planning to listen to it some more, but then the silly girl suddenly ran over.

"Madam, Madam, you're back!"

The silly girl, like a 180-pound child, circled around Ye Wan's carriage, extremely happy.

Ye Wan got off the carriage, intending to say that she had lost weight and that she had worked hard, but then she saw that the silly girl had become much stronger.

"..."

"You idiot...you should call me aunt."

She almost became known as "Silly Girl." The name "Silly Egg" was also given to her by Silly Girl, who said it would be convenient when she was pretending to be a man.

When she first arrived, Silly Girl was often ridiculed because of her name, and many people wanted to bully her because they thought she wasn't smart. Silly Girl beat them all up with her strength.

"Madam, Madam, I've missed you so much!"

The silly girl longed to hug Ye Wan, but dared not.

"I missed you too. Are you hurt?" Ye Wan carefully examined the silly girl.

"No, I'm perfectly healthy, Auntie. Did you come here specifically to see me?" The silly girl looked at Ye Wan with a grin, almost sticking out her tongue like a puppy.

Lady Ye was her benefactor, and sometimes he even wished he could call her Lady Ye Wan Niang, just like San Ya.

"Yes, I heard from Aunt Hui that you were staying here. So I came to see where you were staying, and I didn't expect you to come back so soon."

As they left Prince Jing's residence, Hui Gu mentioned Sha Niu and came over to see her. By sheer coincidence, they met in the alley.

I also overheard someone mention Lin Anyuan.

"Are you Mrs. Lin?" a bold sister-in-law asked Ye Wan.

The moment Ye Wan and her companions arrived in their carriage, it had already attracted everyone's attention.

In addition, Ye Wan got off the carriage...

"It's me, hello everyone." Ye Wan smiled gently.

"This is Mrs. Lin! My goodness, she's even more beautiful than a fairy in a painting."

"Lord Lin is so handsome, how could his wife not be beautiful? My goodness, no wonder he didn't like the niece I introduced to him. If it were me, I wouldn't like her either."

"Haha, Li Dajiao, don't mention your niece, she has the same big feet as you."

"What's wrong with Big Feet? Big Feet is strong and can do a lot of work. My niece is even better at working than a man. Any family that marries her will be very lucky."

The women started talking all at once, and they had a lot to say.

Dou Niangzi, who had just been arguing with Ling Niang, was now somewhat reserved. "Madam, we're just rough people, we didn't frighten you, did we?"

She had been happily roasting Lingniang earlier, but now, in front of Ye Wan, she felt a little reserved.

Fearing that the lady of the house would look down on her for being a courtesan, she involuntarily took a step back.

Madam is so beautiful, no wonder Lord Lin doesn't fancy anyone else.

Ye Wan smiled and said, "We're all human, so how could we be scared? I've been away from my husband for a while, so I have to thank my sisters-in-law and aunts for taking care of him. Thank you for your hard work."

“Oh, Madam, you’re too kind. Lord Lin has always taken care of us. We men have never suffered any loss following him. Even the things we brought home for the New Year were distributed by Lord Lin. Now that life is so good, we can’t be happier.”

"Yes, we've been wanting to meet Madam for a long time. We only had Lady Dou's husband deliver the message three days ago. We were just thinking of making some preparations, but we didn't expect Madam to come today."

The women chattered amongst themselves.

Ye Wan chimed in, "They're not some big shot, why all the fuss? We've already seen them today, haven't we?"

A plump auntie said warmly, "Madam, it's almost lunchtime. Please stay for dinner. Among our group, Madam Hu's cooking is the best. Her husband is the cook."

"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony. These are my three daughters."

The air fell silent for a moment.

So... you agreed?

I originally thought that Lady Ye, who was as beautiful as a fairy, would not agree.

Ye Wan blinked. "What, sisters-in-law? Have you changed your mind?"

Everyone snapped back to reality in an instant, "No, no, we're happy, happy!"

The three girls bowed and said, "Greetings, sisters, aunts and uncles."

"Lord Lin's daughter is simply like a flower."

"What do you mean one flower! There are three flowers."

"Hurry up, Madam Hu, it's time to cook! Show us your best skills!"

"Madam, my husband told me that you treated them to a meal in Min County, and the food was so delicious they almost lost their tongues. Is that true?"

"Yes, my husband said so when he came back."

"When the weather gets warmer, I'll have more dishes and treat everyone to a meal."

Everyone gathered around Ye Wan and headed to Hu Niangzi's house.

Lady Dou lagged behind, looking at Ling Niang's pale face. "Miss Ling, let's go together. Don't you usually love to bring food to Lord Lin? Your cooking skills are excellent. You can go and help out now."

Lingniang was almost in tears, holding back her tears as she glared hatefully at Dou Niangzi.

"You're a filthy prostitute who was kidnapped and taken to a bandit's den! Get out of here!"

The sound was so sharp that Ye Wan, who was walking in front, turned around.
