Ye Xiaoxiao walked towards the front yard with anticipation. On the way, many servants and maids were very curious about her.
However, the Ye family's family motto is good, so no one criticized her too much.
Soon, people attending the banquet arrived one after another, and Mrs. Ye looked at the door anxiously.
"Isn't the young lady here yet?"
Guizhi, the maidservant who came with Mrs. Ye as a dowry, immediately went to the gate to check outside.
"Madam, the eldest lady is here."
Guizhi's shout was quite loud, and many people who came to the banquet looked in her direction.
Ye Xiaoxiao naturally heard Guizhi's voice, but since she was the protagonist today, she didn't care about attracting attention in advance.
"Mother, we have an honored guest today. I am afraid of bringing shame to the Ye family, so I dressed up for a while longer."
"I'm sorry for the delay and made Mother anxious."
Mrs. Ye looked at Ye Xiaoxiao wearing a veil, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
At this moment, Ye Xiaoxiao was wearing a light blue long dress, her hair was flowing, and her face was covered with a veil, revealing only a pair of big, lively eyes, giving people a sense of mystery.
If she hadn't known how ugly the face beneath the veil was, Mrs. Ye would have almost thought that Ye Xiaoxiao was a fairy who had descended to earth.
However, Mrs. Ye didn't know that under the veil was indeed a beautiful and charming fairy face.
In order not to make Ye Xiaoxiao sad, Mrs. Ye had to praise her softly.
"Xiaoxiao, you look very beautiful in this outfit. You are worthy of being my daughter."
Ye Xiaoxiao raised her eyes slightly, and it was obvious that she was also very happy.
Mrs. Ye said a few words to her and then took her to the female guest side to receive guests.
By the way, he introduced all the famous ladies in the capital to Ye Xiaoxiao.
"Xiaoxiao, come and recognize her. This is Madam Qin, the wife of the Crown Prince of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion, and also your aunt."
"Next to her is your cousin Qin Xue. There's also a cousin named Qin Lei who's with the men's guests but didn't come over."
Ye Xiaoxiao saluted Madam Qin respectfully, then called her aunt softly.
Then he looked at Qin Xue politely and called her cousin.
Mrs. Qin was very polite. She said a few words of comfort to Ye Xiaoxiao, and then handed her a big red envelope.
"Good boy, you've suffered a lot these years, but now you've finally gotten your reward. You should spend more time with your mother in the future."
"My aunt came in a hurry and didn't prepare any gifts. You must accept this red envelope."
Ye Xiaoxiao looked at the thick red envelope and felt happy, and her words became more polite.
"Thank you, auntie. Xiaoxiao will definitely accompany mother well in the future."
Qin Xue stood beside her mother, observing Ye Xiaoxiao's every move with curiosity, and then asked casually.
"Why are you wearing a veil?"
After these words were spoken, both Mrs. Ye and Mrs. Qin felt a little embarrassed, and Mrs. Qin immediately looked at her daughter reproachfully.
"Xiaoxue, be careful with your words."
"Sister, I'm sorry. I forgot to tell Xiaoxue about Xiaoxiao's situation when I came here."
"Xiaoxiao, don't mind it. I'm just curious and don't mean any harm."
Ye Xiaoxiao smiled calmly, looked at Qin Xue seriously with her bright eyes and replied.
"Aunt, there's no need to blame my cousin. I'm used to it."
"Cousin, this scar on my face was left by my parents when I was little."
"I wear a veil because I'm afraid I'll be too ugly and scare people, not because I don't want to show my true face."
Qin Xue didn't expect this to happen, and she felt very disgusted with Ye Lao San and his wife.
"I didn't expect that couple to be so cruel. I can tell from my cousin's eyes. She must have been a beauty like my aunt."
"But it doesn't matter. When Xiaoxue finds any good medicine for wounds, she will get it all for cousin. I will definitely find a way to heal cousin's face."
This was the first time someone showed kindness to Ye Xiaoxiao since she came here.
Therefore, he is quite friendly towards his cousin Qin Xue.
However, thinking of the introduction of this little girl in the book, Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't help but frown.
In the original book, after Ye Xinxin met the male protagonist, she took advantage of her relationship with Madam Ye and frequently visited the Duke of Huguo's Mansion.
Qin Lei fell in love with Ye Xinxin at first sight, and then instigated the Duke of Huguo's Mansion to support the male protagonist.
Qin Xue has been loved since she was a child, but ever since Ye Xinxin appeared, everyone in the Qin family has been paying attention to the male and female protagonists.
Qin Xue was neglected and felt that all her family's love was taken away by Ye Xinxin, so Qin Xue hated Ye Xinxin very much.
Every time Ye Xinxin went there, Qin Xue would speak harshly to her, but every time, it was Qin Xue who was scolded.
Later, Ye Xinxin didn't know what she said to Qin Lei, and she actually wanted to give Qin Xue to the male protagonist as a concubine.
Qin Xue was unwilling, so she chose to elope. However, she met an assassin on the way and was killed.
Qin Xue could not bear the humiliation and finally chose to commit suicide. The lovely little girl died from then on.
[It's a pity that such an innocent girl ended up with such a tragic death.]
Mrs. Ye suddenly heard Ye Xiaoxiao's thoughts and looked at Qin Xue in surprise.
But Ye Xiaoxiao did not tell Qin Xue's fate in her heart, and Mrs. Ye was both worried and helpless.
Ye Xiaoxiao's thought lasted only a moment. Seeing Qin Xue looking at her, a smile appeared on her face.
"Thank you, Sister Xiaoxue. I'll have to trouble you with this."
Qin Xue laughed and said, "That's nothing. You are my cousin after all."
Madam Ye collected her thoughts, exchanged a few pleasantries with Madam Qin and Qin Xue, and then took Ye Xiaoxiao to meet other guests.
Occasionally, Ye Xiaoxiao would complain about two familiar names in the book, and Mrs. Ye also learned a lot of things that she didn't know much about on a daily basis.
While Ye Xiaoxiao was accompanying Mrs. Ye to meet guests, she was also paying attention to Ye Xinxin.
Although Ye Xiaoxiao is the real eldest daughter of the Ye family, everyone knows that the Ye family dotes on Ye Xinxin, so their attitude towards her has not changed.
At first, Ye Xinxin was still helping to entertain those young ladies, who would occasionally cast hateful glances at her.
But later, Ye Xinxin's maid said something in her ear, and Ye Xinxin actually left in a hurry.
Ye Xiaoxiao was worried that she would meet the man too early, so she decided to follow him and see.
"Mother, I've almost finished introducing the guests. I'm feeling a little unwell and would like to go and rest for a while."
Mrs. Ye was worried that she would feel uncomfortable during her pregnancy, so she quickly asked Tianxuan to accompany her and leave first.
Ye Xiaoxiao took Tianxuan and left in the direction where Ye Xinxin disappeared, and soon saw Ye Xinxin not far away.
"Xinxin, our daughter, are you okay?"
"Did that damn girl bully you after she came back?"
Ye Xinxin looked at Liu Yue'e and Ye Laosan impatiently.
"Didn't I tell you not to come find me? Why are you so disobedient?"
"What if the Ye family knew that I was in contact with you and they really didn't want me anymore?"
