Chapter 24: Mrs. Ye’s Invitation



When Tianxuan heard Ye Xiaoxiao's question, he just shook his head slightly.

"Miss, Tianxuan has never been to the capital before, so she doesn't know about the Qiqiao Festival."

Ye Xiaoxiao was stunned. She must have been so busy these days that she had forgotten that Tianxuan was not from the capital.

"Forget it. Tomorrow is the Qiqiao Festival. I guess my beautiful mother might come to ask me later."

As soon as Ye Xiaoxiao finished speaking, footsteps were heard in the yard.

"Speak of the devil and he will appear."

Tianxuan didn't know who Cao Cao was, but she knew that Madam Ye had arrived, so she followed Ye Xiaoxiao out to greet her.

"Xiaoxiao, you're not feeling well and need to rest more. Why did you come out in person?"

Ye Xiaoxiao looked at Mrs. Ye indifferently.

"Don't worry, mother. Xiaoxiao is fine. Xiaoxiao heard some noise in the yard and thought it was mother coming, so she came out to greet her."

Mrs. Ye felt relieved and pulled Ye Xiaoxiao into the room.

After the two of them sat down, Mrs. Ye immediately explained her purpose.

"Xiaoxiao, tomorrow is the Qiqiao Festival. The capital usually holds a lantern festival. Mother wanted to ask if you would like to go with your brothers tonight?"

Ye Xiaoxiao was worried about her second brother and sister-in-law, and was worried that she didn't know the rules of the Qiqiao Festival. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Ye took the initiative to mention it.

"Mother, you came just in time. Tianxuan was just talking to her about the Lantern Festival."

"It's just that, with Xiaoxiao in this state, it's not a good idea for her to go out with the brothers."

"Xiaoxiao originally wanted to tell her mother that she would take Tianxuan out to see the world in the evening."

Mrs. Ye heard the inferiority in Ye Xiaoxiao's words, and pulled her aside with some heartache.

"What's wrong with that? They are your brothers, and it's their responsibility to take care of you."

"Just go with them. That way, Mother will feel more at ease."

"If they don't treat you well, just come back and tell mother, and see if mother won't punish them."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaoxiao finally showed a smile on her face, but when Madam Ye saw the "scar" on her face, she felt a little uncomfortable.

"Xiaoxiao, your scar. Let me find a doctor to take a look at it in a few days."

Ye Xiaoxiao gently touched the fake scar on her face that she had specially pasted on herself, and smiled at herself.

"Mother, there's no need. Xiaoxiao is already used to it."

"Besides, Xiaoxiao is pregnant now, and scar removal drugs will be somewhat harmful. Let's talk about it later."

Mrs. Ye had to give up after hearing this. Thinking that Ye Xiaoxiao might go out for fun at night, Mrs. Ye immediately took out a stack of banknotes from her bosom.

"Xiaoxiao, you're too lazy to go out. If you see something you like, just buy it."

Ever since Ye Xiaoxiao asked Tianxuan to open the Tianquan Bookstore, she has never lacked money. However, Mrs. Ye meant well, so Ye Xiaoxiao naturally would not refuse.

"Xiaoxiao thanks mother, but Xiaoxiao's backyard has everything. Xiaoxiao really doesn't know what to buy."

When Mrs. Ye thought about the clothes and jewelry she bought for Ye Xinxin every month, and saw that Ye Xiaoxiao didn't know how to spend the money now, she felt uncomfortable.

"Xiaoxiao, there's everything at the Lantern Festival. Just go out with the brothers and take a look. Buy whatever you like."

"If the money is not enough, ask your brothers to pay for it first, and then mother will give it to you when she comes back."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaoxiao timidly put away Madam Ye, and then expressed her gratitude profusely. Madam Ye felt very sad.

All the dissatisfaction with Ye Xiaoxiao for getting pregnant before marriage turned into pity.

After receiving the silver, Mrs. Ye told Ye Xiaoxiao some things about the Qiqiao Festival Lantern Festival.

"The Qiqiao Lantern Festival is very lively and is held once a year. It is the favorite festival of young men and women."

"On this day, young men and women don't need to worry too much about gender separation and will go out and about."

"If a man finds a woman he likes, he will buy her a lantern."

"If a woman also likes a boy, she can accept the boy's lantern."

"If a woman doesn't like a man, she can politely decline. Most men won't pursue him persistently."

"Of course, if a woman has a man she really likes, she can also give the lantern in her hand to him."

"In addition to exchanging lanterns, there are many other activities at the Lantern Festival, such as guessing lantern riddles, releasing lanterns, and writing poems and couplets."

Mrs. Ye paused for a moment here, then spoke mysteriously.

"I heard that several adult princes of the royal family will also be present at this year's Lantern Festival, so this year's Lantern Festival will be particularly lively."

When Ye Xiaoxiao heard this, she immediately had a bad feeling.

[The prince appears, so doesn't that mean the male protagonist, Prince Yu, might also appear.]

[At the last banquet, male and female guests were separated, so Ye Xinxin was not seen by the male protagonist.]

[This Lantern Festival now probably provides the most convenient conditions for the two of them to meet.]

[According to the general setting of novels, the male and female protagonists both have the ability to attract people, so as long as they appear at the same time, the possibility of them meeting each other will be extremely high.]

[Plus, Ye Xinxin felt resentful because her beautiful mother had arranged a blind date for her during this period but it failed.]

[If she were to meet the male protagonist, I'm afraid the gears of fate would start turning again.]

Ye Xiaoxiao frowned and thought. When Mrs. Ye heard her thoughts, she, who was originally very happy, immediately became worried.

However, Ye Xiaoxiao was thinking about her own things and did not notice anything unusual about Mrs. Ye.

[Well, since they are the male and female protagonists, they will meet one day sooner or later.]

[Since I can change my eldest brother's fate, I can definitely change the fate of other relatives in the Ye family.]

[Tomorrow is the day for my second brother to be the hero and save the beautiful girl. I'd better first take a look at what kind of person my future second sister-in-law will be.]

Thinking of this, Ye Xiaoxiao's originally complicated mood suddenly calmed down, and she began to look forward to tomorrow's lantern festival.

Mrs. Ye had something on her mind, so after speaking briefly to Ye Xiaoxiao, she left in a hurry.

Ye Xiaoxiao looked at Madam Ye's hurried back, feeling somewhat puzzled.

"Tianxuan, do you feel that the Madam is different when she left than when she came?"

Although Tianxuan couldn't hear other people's thoughts, she could still see the changes in Mrs. Ye.

"The madam probably suddenly remembered something urgent, so she left in a hurry."

Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't guess, and she was too lazy to guess. Right now, she just hoped that tomorrow would come quickly.

After Mrs. Ye hurried back to her room, she immediately sent Guizhi to find Ye Pengcheng.

When Ye Pengcheng learned that his wife was looking for him, he finished his business and hurried towards the room.

When Ye Pengcheng saw Mrs. Ye's anxious look, he became a little worried and asked hurriedly.

"Madam is so anxious, but what happened?"

Mrs. Ye told Ye Pengcheng what Ye Xiaoxiao was thinking, and then looked at Ye Pengcheng helplessly.

"My dear husband, what will happen if Xinxin meets Prince Yu?"

"How about we find a reason not to let Xinxin go out?"
