Chapter 365: Meeting
After getting the answer, Princess Fushun left satisfied.
After she left, there was finally news about whether the Dingguo Marquis's mansion was to be sold or not!
Not sold!
When the betrothal gift was given out!
Shen Zhiyan is engaged!
The woman was Ye Yiren, the heroine of the cassava impersonation case that caused a big stir in May and June.
The news is more explosive than the last.
Princess Fushun did not hesitate to throw out these pieces of news one after another, because the Marquis's Mansion told her to do so in order to spread it.
......
Lin Family——
Lin Yaxian was lying on the couch reading a book, with a charcoal basin burning warmly beside her.
Shangxue walked in with a frown on her face: "Madam... I don't know what happened, but someone is living in the five-story house in the Marquis's Mansion. There's a plaque hanging on it that says 'Ye Mansion'."
Lin Yaxian paused while holding the book: "What did you say?"
Shangxue carefully repeated what he had just said.
Lin Yaxian felt a wave of bitterness and discomfort in her heart: "How could this be... The Marquis' Mansion couldn't possibly sell it..."
She knew very well that the house was intended for Shen Zhiyan. If the family splits up in the future, they will move there.
But now, there is a plaque with another surname hanging there.
Her first thought was: Sell it!
She felt empty inside, as if her original home was gone.
For no apparent reason, I had a bad feeling.
"Go and ask around."
Admire the snow and go out.
Lin Yaxian waited anxiously, but until dark, there was still no sign of people coming to enjoy the snow.
She couldn't help but frowned and called another maid in: "Hasn't Shangxue come back yet?"
The maid's face turned pale: "Sister Shangxue... is back... She has been standing outside the yard for almost half an hour."
"What are you doing standing outside? Let her in."
The little maid ran out hurriedly.
Lin Yaxian looked at the swaying curtains embroidered with white lotus flowers. For some reason, her heart began to beat fast, and she felt as if something terrible had happened.
After a long while, Shangxue came in with a pale face and snow all over his body: "Madam..."
"How is it? What did you find out?"
Shangxue gritted his teeth: "I heard that the Second Master..."
Lin Yaxian was startled: "What's wrong with him?"
Is that house related to him? But why is the last name Ye...
Did he not like that house and bought another one?
Shangxue knew that he would have to tell it sooner or later, so he just said it all in one breath: "Second Master is engaged! This house was given to that woman by the Marquis's Mansion as a betrothal gift. That woman will go to the capital with Second Master and will show up at the birthday banquet."
"Also... I heard... the wedding date has been set. It's in the early spring after the New Year!"
With a "bang", Lin Yaxian took a step back and knocked over the vase behind her.
She felt a pain in her chest and almost vomited blood: "Who is that woman..."
"She seems to be a farm girl. Ye Yiren..."
"Ye Yiren..."
Lin Yaxian was stunned, and suddenly remembered the woman she met at Jiuqin Tea House the day before yesterday...
......
After the plaque was hung up, Ye Caiping never went out again.
At the same time, the servant received a lot of visiting cards.
Ye Caiping asked her servants to politely decline the invitation, citing poor health as the reason.
The visitors all wanted to get into the Dingguo Marquis Mansion but were unable to do so. Now that they knew of her existence, they wanted to use her connections.
At this time, the maid Chang Xi came in and said, "Madam Ye, here is a note. I see that the person who delivered it looks very serious, so I must give it to you."
Ye Caiping opened it and couldn't help squinting her eyes.
Chang Xi also saw the words inside and asked in surprise: "Is this... Mr. Shen's ex-wife?"
Ye Caiping smiled and closed the post.
This note was sent by Lin Yaxian, asking her to meet at Jiuqin Tea House at 3 p.m.
Ye Caiping stood up: "Let's go and meet her!"
What is coming will come, and she also hopes that Lin Yaxian will not get close to her again.
In the past, Shen Zhiyan went to the county school to play with Li Zhiyuan for her.
Now she also meets Lin Yaxian for him and Manman.
Jiuqin Tea House——
Ye Caiping got off the carriage, and a waiter immediately came forward: "Ye Yiren, right? Madam Lin has been waiting for a long time, please come in."
Ye Caiping nodded and followed the waiter into the room.
However, he found that the originally bustling lobby was empty. It must have been bought by Lin Yaxian at a high price.
Ye Caiping went up to the second floor and came to a private room.
As soon as you enter, you will see a large white lotus screen. When you walk around the screen, you will see a woman in white sitting on a couch by the window. She is making tea on the kang table.
Hearing the sound, she turned around.
Ye Caiping saw that Lin Yaxian was beautiful and elegant, full of bookish air and the temperament of a lady from a noble family. Her white dress made her look like a fairy. She wore a pearl hairpin and two jade hairpins on her head, and had no gold jewelry on her body.
When Lin Yaxian saw Ye Caiping, she was also stunned.
The last time she saw her from afar, she was on the second floor, in the Ye Caiping lobby. She couldn't see the front, but she thought she was a slender woman.
Looking at it now, I am somewhat shocked.
I originally thought that Ye Caiping, a peasant woman, would be somewhat pretty, but I didn't expect that she would be so gorgeous, with such a pure and elegant temperament.
Lin Yaxian's indifferent eyes fell on Ye Caiping and she said softly, "Please sit down. What kind of tea would you like to drink?"
Ye Caiping said: "Anything is fine."
As she spoke, she sat down opposite Lin Yaxian.
Lin Yaxian said: "I heard that you and Zhiyan are engaged."
Ye Caiping: “Yes.”
Lin Yaxian tightened her grip: "The day before yesterday, I was sitting here, watching you arguing with a little girl! At that time, I asked Shangxue to go down and help you. I never thought... that we would have such a fate."
She poured the tea and said, finally pushing the cup in front of her: "This is jasmine tea, please drink it."
Ye Caiping didn't drink: "I knew it was Madam at that time."
Lin Yaxian frowned slightly, thinking of the time when Ye Caiping refused the invitation to watch the snow.
I see......
Lin Yaxian suddenly felt uncomfortable. Was she like a clown in her eyes at that time?
Really... like a clown!
She actually asked someone to help her, a woman who had stolen her husband! ridiculous! How ridiculous!
Ye Caiping asked, "What did Madam want to say by calling me here?"
Lin Yaxian pursed her lips tightly: "Ye Yiren, I know about you."
"You were divorced, and you took care of your two daughters. You worked hard all the way, opened two workshops, and made a lot of money."
"You were rewarded by the emperor for discovering cassava, and you used the money to build a bridge for your fellow villagers. Ye Yiren, you must be a good woman."
"You are not short of money! You have a high reputation in your hometown! You have both money and fame, you should be proud of yourself."
Ye Caiping raised her eyebrows: "Are you flattering me?"
Lin Yaxian clenched her hands under her sleeves.
Ye Caiping smiled and said, "What you just said is correct. I have all of these. I have money, reputation, and a title. I am proud!"
Lin Yaxian: “…”
It was clearly she who said this just now, but when Ye Caiping said it again, she got angry!
