With Tianxuan's help, Ye Xiaoxiao can rest assured and take care of her pregnancy in the days to come.
However, when Ye Xiaoxiao thought about what others were saying about her outside the teahouse today, she felt a little strange.
This time the Ye family did not disclose their identity, so who leaked the news?
Ye Xiaoxiao didn't doubt Ye Xinxin. After all, being a real rich girl for one more day would only benefit her and not harm her.
So, who is it and what is their purpose? Could it be that the Ye family has other potential enemies that she is unaware of?
After thinking about it for a long time without any clue, Ye Xiaoxiao simply gave up thinking about it. In the evening, Mrs. Ye and Ye Pengcheng came again.
"Xiaoxiao, who is this girl?"
Ye Xiaoxiao had already thought of her words, and when Mrs. Ye asked, she replied without blinking.
"Mother, this is Tianxuan, my childhood friend from the foot of Nanshan Mountain. After hearing what happened to me, she was very worried and came to check on me secretly."
"Today, I was wandering around the side yard and happened to see Tianxuan trying to climb over the wall, so I brought her in."
Tianxuan's eyes flickered when he heard this, and he looked at Ye Pengcheng and Mrs. Ye with some apology.
"I beg the General and Madam to forgive me. Tianxuan did not mean to offend. I was really worried about the young lady's safety, so I resorted to this desperate measure."
When Mrs. Ye heard that Tianxuan was actually Ye Xiaoxiao's friend, she immediately waved her hand to indicate that it was okay.
"It's rare for Xiaoxiao to have a friend she can talk to. We are so happy."
"But, why does Miss Tianxuan call Xiaoxiao "Miss"?"
Tianxuan lowered his head to hide the embarrassment on his face, and then explained.
"Tianxuan has been an orphan since childhood. Fortunately, the young lady did not abandon her and was willing to keep her here to take care of her. That is why Tianxuan respectfully calls her Miss."
Seeing that Tianxuan had almost finished speaking, Ye Xiaoxiao took over the conversation.
"Daddy, Mommy, I'm thinking about taking care of my baby, and I can't do without someone by my side."
"But my daughter is not used to interacting with outsiders, so I plan to keep Tianxuan. I hope my parents will agree."
Madam Ye was worried that they would not be able to take care of Ye Xiaoxiao alone in the side courtyard, so having Tianxuan was a good thing.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Ye looked up at Ye Pengcheng beside her. Ye Pengcheng naturally would not object.
"That's fine. Since Tianxuan is willing to take care of Xiaoxiao, I will give you one tael of silver every month as a monthly salary."
Although one or two taels of silver is not a lot, it is also the salary of a first-class maid. It can be seen that Ye Pengcheng is very generous.
In order to avoid being exposed, Tianxuan immediately thanked him happily.
Ye Pengcheng and Mrs. Ye looked at each other again, and Mrs. Ye then explained her purpose.
"Xiaoxiao, there are a lot of rumors in the capital right now, and some people already know about your existence."
"What your father and I mean is that we want to hold a banquet for you and use it to make your identity public."
"When the time comes, we want to help you choose a suitable husband to be the father of your unborn child. What do you think?"
Ye Xiaoxiao understood what she said, "No wonder people outside know about me."
The Ye brothers heard this but didn't say anything. It turned out they were the ones who spread the news.
[Looking at what my beautiful mother is saying, she seems to be looking for someone to take over for the baby in my belly.]
[It's a pity, I'm afraid I'll let my beautiful mother down.]
"Mother, I don't plan to leave the side courtyard, so forget about this banquet."
"As for the child, I have made up my mind. I will raise the child myself and will never let myself or the child suffer."
As a modern person, Ye Xiaoxiao has no intention of becoming someone else's concubine, nor will she compete with other women for jealousy.
Men and the like will only affect the speed at which she draws her sword. Before she finds the undivided love, she will not easily try to have feelings.
Besides, she will have her own children in the future, so feelings will be dispensable.
Ye Pengcheng didn't expect Ye Xiaoxiao to be so stubborn, and his face suddenly looked a little ugly.
"Dad, I know you mean well, but I don't want to bring shame to the Ye family."
"With my looks and my current situation, I can only be a concubine or marry an honest man."
"But what's the difference between that kind of life and my own life in the side yard?"
"If you treat me and my child badly, it would be worse than living comfortably in the side courtyard."
When Ye Pengcheng heard this, he realized it made sense. He sighed and said helplessly.
"Well, we can discuss the matter of choosing a son-in-law later. However, His Majesty has already heard about your identity as the daughter of the Ye family, so this banquet must be held."
"Fortunately, you haven't shown your pregnancy yet. When the time comes, as long as we don't mention it, I'm sure the guests won't say much."
Everyone knew the implication, it was just a formality, and Ye Xiaoxiao naturally understood it.
Speaking of this, Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't help but think of the plot in the book.
[In the original book, the hero and heroine met at their own family reunion banquet.]
[I don't know if it's the heroine's aura or some other reason, but the hero actually fell in love with the fake rich girl at first sight.]
[Of course, it's also possible that the male protagonist had long desired the Ye family's support, and after seeing his own situation, he decisively chose the equally favored Ye Xinxin.]
[The acquaintance of the hero and heroine marks the beginning of the fate of the entire Ye family as cannon fodder.]
[How can I stop my beautiful mother from hosting this banquet?]
Mrs. Ye and Ye Pengcheng were also a little worried after hearing Ye Xiaoxiao's thoughts.
However, now that the emperor knows about this, if he still refuses to acknowledge his relationship, it will inevitably cause others to complain.
