Chapter 358 Love Yourself Before Loving Others
Upon hearing the news that Daya was almost in the capital, Ye Wan was having dinner with Er Ya and San Ya.
It's rare that both of them are home today.
As the children grow older and busier, Ye Wan, on the other hand, stays at home every day like an elderly person left behind, waiting for them to come back for meals.
"I'll go pick her up." Ye Wan's mood improved somewhat after receiving the message.
She was finally back, and this old mother felt a little more at ease.
Hui Gu ladled a bowl of soup for Ye Wan and said, "Madam, you're feeling unwell, I'll go get it for you."
"I'm fine, just walking around normally. Don't stare at me like I'm the eyeball."
Ye Wan felt that the baby was quite stable and didn't make much noise on weekdays. However, she wondered if it was because she was more pregnant, but her pubic bone ached slightly at night, though it was within a tolerable range.
This was her first pregnancy, but according to the doctor and Aunt Hui, these were all normal reactions.
Hui Gu didn't try to persuade her any further, but she was already planning to double the number of guards.
Are you two going or not?
Ye Wan noticed that Er Ya and San Ya were not speaking, and almost forgot about them.
Sanya lowered her head. "Mother, I'm going to fight in the arena tomorrow."
Er Ya felt a little guilty. "Mother, my new shop has reopened."
The timing just happened to coincide.
"Okay, I'll go then." Ye Wan didn't think it was a big deal, since the two sisters were busy anyway.
"Second sister, are we really not going to pick up eldest sister?"
After dinner, Sanya, dressed in men's clothing, was about to go out when she ran into Erya.
Er Ya was still dressed in her flamboyant attire. "Why don't you skip the fight in the ring?"
Her current aesthetic sense is no longer so gaudy. The gold, silver and jade ornaments piled on her head exude wealth and opulence. Coupled with her slightly sharp appearance, she is beautiful, but also a little aggressive.
Sanya shook her head, "Second sister, why don't you not open the business? Mother will go pick up eldest sister by herself."
Er Ya thought for a moment, "We're sisters, why bother with all that fancy stuff? When my eldest sister comes back, I'll give her a set of pure gold jewelry. That's much more practical than all that frivolous stuff."
Sanya said, "My eldest sister likes jade."
"You're always arguing with me. I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm leaving." Er Ya turned her head.
"Second sister, take a few extra people with you when you go out, and be careful."
"knew."
After thinking it over, Er Ya decided to call a maid who knew some martial arts.
If you encounter anything that bothers you again, just hit it.
It's not easy for a woman to do business. Although those people knew she had powerful backers and she never revealed who her parents were, they still looked down on her for doing business. Many of them were quite frivolous and wanted to take her as a concubine.
Ye Wan left the city gate early the next morning and met Er Ya two miles outside the city.
"mother."
Daya stepped down from the carriage, quickening her pace, her skirt fluttering in the wind.
He stopped three steps away from Ye Wan and looked at her stomach.
Ye Wan's belly was very obvious; she was already so far along that her clothes couldn't hide it anymore, and she looked even more kind and loving.
Ye Wan walked forward and patted Daya's head, "My son has grown taller."
With just one sentence, Da Ya's eyes reddened.
"Why are you crying all of a sudden?" Ye Wan smiled and took Daya's hand, which felt cool.
In the blink of an eye, that timid little girl has blossomed into a beautiful young woman.
"Lord Ye, congratulations." Chu Xiujie dismounted and bowed to Ye Wan.
Ye Wan saw Chu Xiujie's smile instantly turn into a forced one. "Lord Chu, you've had a hard time escorting my daughter all the way."
"Don't suffer, Ye..."
Chu Xiujie wanted to say a few more polite words, but he found that Ye Wan was no longer looking at him, so he awkwardly touched his nose.
Then look at Daya... Daya... didn't even look at him, her mind was entirely on Ye Wan.
"Mom, you can rest at home, you don't need to come pick me up."
“My son has been away from home for so long, why don’t you need to? Don’t you miss me? But I miss you.” Ye Wan was probably used to coaxing Lin Anyuan, and now she could say these words without thinking.
Daya couldn't help but laugh, her eyes sparkling with joy. "Mother, I miss you too."
"Wait a minute, you'll ride in the same carriage with me."
"Is this my younger brother or sister?" Daya carefully touched Ye Wan's belly.
"We don't know yet about the younger siblings; we'll find out after they're born."
Ye Wan pulled Da Ya into the carriage, and the carriage started to move slowly.
Chu Xiujie: ...
Chu Shiyi sang in a high-pitched voice, "So superfluous—nobody cares—"
"roll!"
Chu Xiujie rode after them.
A carriage in the distance lifted its curtain.
"Lin Qingshuang up ahead? The headmistress of Jiangnan Women's Academy?"
"Lin Anyuan and Ye Wan's daughter is just trying to gain fame and fortune."
Murong Wan'er lowered the carriage curtain.
The personal maid asked, "Princess, are we still going to the orphanage?"
"Go, of course I'll go. If I don't go, I won't even get to see him. And Father won't grant me a marriage." Murong Wan'er felt a headache coming on just thinking about Pei Zhichuan.
This person is good-looking, but too difficult to approach. She has tried all sorts of methods over this period of time, but has made no progress.
It wasn't until Murong Wan'er went to Ci'an Hall that she learned about the news of the Third Young Master Pei.
"What? He went to be a county magistrate? How could he do this?"
Murong Wan'er's face turned pale with anger, as if something was stuck in her chest.
"Princess……"
"Never mind, I'll go check on Ye Wan."
Ye Wan had just picked up Daya from school and said a few words to her, telling her to wash up and rest first, when she heard that Murong Wan'er had come to visit.
Although the visit was unexpected, the other party was, after all, a princess, and she personally went to welcome them in.
"Greetings to the princess, may the princess be well."
"Greetings, Lord Ye."
Lin Anyuan is now highly valued, as is Ye Wan. In addition, there is the Empress in the harem. Murong Wan'er's manners towards Ye Wan are absolutely impeccable. She is not that stupid.
After sitting down, Murong Wan'er got straight to the point, "Lord Ye, I won't beat around the bush here. I wanted to ask about Young Master Pei, whom I heard had some dealings with you back in Ganzhou, he..."
Ye Wan smiled and said, "To be honest, he called me a woman who had gone against the natural order and said a lot of things, some of which I don't remember very clearly."
She knew why Murong Wan'er had come; she must have heard some rumors somewhere.
"He swore?" Murong Wan'er asked in surprise.
Would someone like Pei San also swear?
Ye Wan recounted what Young Master Pei had said when he disapproved of her, and slowly spoke under Murong Wan'er's dumbfounded gaze.
“Princess, love yourself before loving others. You are of royal blood and were born noble. You have always been the one who is accommodated by others. If this one is not good, you can find another. Why give up an entire forest for a piece of wood?”
Murong Wan'er seemed to release all the pent-up frustration in her heart at once.
After a long pause, he finally spoke, "Every time I come here, I always hear something different. Lord Ye, you're always just like everyone else."
Ye Wan chuckled, "Maybe I'm just a man at heart, I like to fight for power and be superior to others like a man."
Upon hearing this, Murong Wan'er left in a daze.
