Chapter 1023: Uncle and Sister-in-law’s Murder of the Original Wife (15)

Ye Yonglan returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but was immediately called away by her mother's maid.

"Mom, are you looking for me?" As soon as Ye Yonglan saw Madam Ye, she immediately walked up to her happily, took her arm and asked.

Ye Yonglan was originally an orphan in the future, and had never felt the love and care of her parents. Unexpectedly, after traveling through time, she would become a top noble lady of the top dignitaries. Not only did she have a noble status, but she also received endless love from her parents and brothers, so that she regarded everyone in the Ye family as her relatives in a short period of time.

When Madam Ye saw her frivolous and unstable appearance, she immediately frowned, pushed her hand away, and said coldly: "Speak properly, don't stand like this all the time, where is the etiquette I taught you before?"

"Oh, mother, those etiquette rules are for outsiders to see. You are my mother, do I have to act in front of you?" Ye Yonglan said with a smile, not afraid of Madam Ye's cold face at all.

Madam Ye's expression softened when she heard what she said. She tapped her forehead and said, "You know you should follow the rules and etiquette in front of outsiders, but how come you forgot this when you were catching thieves on the street during the day? You are the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but you actually made such an inappropriate move in public. Don't you know that it will cause criticism?"

"Mom, I was just catching a thief, what's wrong with that? Do I have to stand on the street crying and saying 'I lost my money'?" Ye Yonglan said nonchalantly. She still had the consciousness of later generations and did not think there was anything wrong for a noble lady to catch a thief in public.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Even if the money was stolen, wouldn't you let others catch it? Why do you have to go after him yourself? This does not meet the requirements of a noble lady being elegant and chaste. You are already at the age of marriage, and now something like this has happened. What if others dislike you? Rich families have many requirements when choosing a daughter-in-law..." Madam Ye said with a sigh.

Ye Yonglan was not worried at all, she pouted and said, "Mom, don't worry about it. As long as my grandfather is still the prime minister, I don't have to worry about my marriage. I can choose whatever I want."

Madam Ye shook her head and said, "It's not as good as you think. Although your grandfather is here, your marriage is indeed very popular, but the moral character of the candidates who come to propose marriage is very different. If you don't behave better, the candidates who come to propose marriage will be worse. After all, your grandfather has more than one granddaughter."

Madam Ye tried to remind Ye Yonglan earnestly, but Ye Yonglan still didn't think it was a big deal. After all, she was a time-traveling girl. Which time-traveling girl didn't have the aura of a heroine? It was a piece of cake to charm a prince, a son, or a general. Didn't she just meet a Lord Zhai today?

When Ye Yonglan thought of Zhai Wanting's handsome face, her face suddenly turned red and she couldn't help showing some girlish shyness.

When Madam Ye saw this, her heart skipped a beat. As an experienced person, she knew what was going on when she saw her daughter like this. She must have someone in her heart!

She was very anxious, worried that the person her daughter fell in love with was not a good person, but she couldn't ask directly, so she had to pretend to ask her casually: "Lan'er, besides catching thieves on the street today, did you encounter any interesting people or things?"

Ye Yonglan was unaware of her mother's worries and rhetoric. When she heard her mother ask this, she immediately answered with great interest, "Mom, I actually met a very...nice person, Lord Zhai. I heard that he is the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple. He is very young and promising, and he is handsome and stylish..."

Madam Ye saw how excited she was when she spoke, and she became even more worried: "Lord Zhai? Is it Zhai Wanting? But his family is dwindling, with only him and a niece left. I heard that he is injured, so it is inconvenient for him to get married..."

"Oh, mother, having no parents, isn't that just right? After you get married, you won't have to serve your parents-in-law, you can be the head of the family directly. As for your niece, she will get married in the future, so it won't be a problem at all." Ye Yonglan directly retorted that people in later generations still hope to have both parents dead, a car and a house when they get married, and Zhai Wanting's family is still an advantage with a small population. Of course, this doesn't mean that Ye Yonglan fell in love with Zhai Wanting and wanted to marry him. She just regarded him as a spare tire. If there is a better one in the future, she will not consider him. If not, then he is naturally the best candidate, so she gave Madam Ye a shot of prevention in advance.

However, she never thought about whether Zhai Wanting really wanted to marry her or was willing to be her backup. She was too self-righteous.

"Lan'er, what do you mean? Are you really attracted to that Lord Zhai?" Madam Ye was horrified, thinking that her daughter was determined to marry Zhai Wanting.

"Mom, don't make a fuss. I'm just talking. After all, I hope my own marriage will be perfect. Lord Zhai is only a fourth-rank official, after all. He is nothing in this capital city full of powerful people." Ye Yonglan said confidently.

Madam Ye didn't know what to say when she saw her like this. Should she be glad that her daughter wasn't in love? She just said, "My daughter, Master Zhai is only in his twenties and has become the Junior Official of the Dali Temple on his own. He is very impressive. He is much better than those who became officials by relying on their family background and ancestors."

Seeing that her daughter still looked unconcerned, Madam Ye suddenly shuddered and asked her, "Lan'er, if you think a fourth-rank official is not high enough, then what kind of person do you want to marry? After all, there are almost no fourth-rank officials who are not married in the capital. Do you want to marry a prince?!"

Madam Ye's face suddenly changed. She looked at her daughter in surprise and doubt: "Your grandfather doesn't want our daughter to marry the prince. Our family is in a very bad situation now. If we get involved in the prince's struggle, we will be doomed if we are not careful. You must not let it go..."

Ye Yonglan was annoyed when she heard this and said, "Mom, what are you talking about? I didn't think about anything." However, she felt that her mother and grandfather were too timid and cautious. With her aura as the protagonist, whichever prince she chose would be the next emperor? She was full of self-confidence and had no idea of ​​the dangers of political power struggles in reality. She only wanted to have the romance and love between men and women.

Madam Ye was worried and said, "Lan'er, don't go out recently. Wait until I choose a husband for you before you go out."

"No! Mom, you really don't need to worry so much. What if you choose someone I don't like? Wouldn't that ruin my life?" Ye Yonglan didn't want to be married blindly like the women of this era. Thinking of the scandal of uncle and sister-in-law having an affair not long ago, she immediately added, "Aren't you afraid of finding me a son-in-law who has an affair with his sister-in-law like the second young master of the Zou family?"

Mrs. Ye was immediately speechless.
