"This morning, an old woman from the Xing family came to the Liang family. She said they all knew about Liang Hemiao's affair with the Wang family. For the sake of the child in her womb, the Xing family will deal with the Wang family and will also let Liang Hemiao into their household. However, she will be a concubine."
"She went?"
"Yes, I went. I went very happily."
Liang Maimiao looked at Ye Yunniang, "Before He Miao went to the Xing family, she told them about He Miao's and the Wang family's schemes. She said that He Miao was inferior in skill and that she would admit defeat this time. Yunniang, do you really not know what He Miao is going to do to you?"
"He Miao wasn't just grateful that I embroidered her wedding dress. Was there something else?" Thinking of something, Ye Yunniang's expression changed. "That day at the Wang family, Liang He Miao wanted to send me away..."
"No, no," Liang Maimiao shook her head in denial.
"No, that's not it. Why did you become suspicious the moment you walked in? And while you were saying all this, you kept testing me?"
Ye Yunniang's face was serious. "Liang Maimiao, I considered you a good friend. How could you and your sister scheme against me like this?"
Faced with Ye Yunniang's questioning, Liang Maimiao slumped her shoulders helplessly.
“I didn’t know she would do this. I thought she genuinely wanted to thank you. I’m sorry, Yunniang, I’m so sorry.”
Ye Yunniang took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in her heart.
"You can leave now."
"Yunniang, aren't we friends?" Liang Maimiao didn't leave, but she sensed something and left on her own. From now on, she and Ye Yunniang would be strangers.
Liang Maimiao was unwilling. Over the past few years, she and Ye Yunniang had gotten along very well and were very good conversation partners.
"I will stop He Miao and prevent her from plotting against you again."
"You can stop it once, but can you stop it a second or a third time?"
Liang Maimiao opened her mouth, wanting to say she could. But the events of the past three days had made her realize the truth in her heart.
She couldn't stop her sister and mother.
For the sake of money and power, their personalities have completely gone astray.
"When I was 8 years old, my family split up. My grandparents were biased and didn't give us a single penny. They just kicked us out of the house."
Our family took shelter in the dilapidated temple.
During the day, Dad would take my older brother to find work. Mom would carry rice seedlings on her back and take me to wash clothes for others to earn money.
Once, we earned 20 coins from washing clothes. Passing a noodle stall, I took my mother's hand and said I wanted to eat noodles.
After hesitating, my mother bought me a bowl of vegetarian noodles. She asked for extra broth. She shared the noodles with me and He Miao, while she drank the broth herself. She even said the broth was nutritious.” Liang Maimiao couldn’t help but cry as she said this.
Life was tough back then, but the family didn't give up. They worked hard every day to earn money, dreaming of being rich. They wanted to eat noodles with meat, wear new clothes, and buy a big house.
Now they have all of that. Why aren't they satisfied?
After crying, Liang Maimiao finally understood.
It's precisely because life is better now that Yang Guihua and Liang Hemiao are so greedy.
"Yunniang, I'm sorry. I forced you to." Putting herself in her shoes, Liang Maimiao also couldn't bear to associate with someone who was determined to scheme against her.
Liang Maimiao walked to the door and stopped.
“Yunniang, let’s forget about this, let’s…”
"Impossible. If Liang Hemiao is not doing well, you, as her older sister, will feel sorry for her, and naturally you will take your anger out on me, who failed to outmaneuver her."
Liang Hemiao is doing well. She won't let me off the hook. Then you'll be in an even bigger dilemma." Liang Maimiao understood Ye Yunniang's words.
Rather than waiting for bigger conflicts to arise in the future, it's better to break it off now and leave a good impression on each other.
As Liang Maimiao left, Ye Yunniang sighed; she was about to lose a friend.
"I feel terrible," Cai Damei said as she walked in.
"Yes, it's very uncomfortable." Liang Maimiao was the first friend she made in Jiangcheng.
"The discomfort will only last for the next couple of days. It will be fine in a few days."
Cai Damei's words of comfort made Ye Yunniang smile. She poured herself a cup of chrysanthemum tea and drank it.
"What kind of medicine did Tong Mo give Liang Hemiao?" Ye Yunniang finished her drink and poured herself another cup. She had been constantly thirsty for the past few days.
"Baby pills".
"Baby Pill?" Ye Yunniang frowned. What a strange name.
“After taking this medicine, you will have a big belly like a normal pregnant woman. However, you will miscarry at seven months,” Cai Damei explained.
Why do I always feel thirsty?
“Bao Min said that after taking the baby pill, you need to smell a medicinal guide to stimulate its effects. That guide will make you very thirsty, so just drink water for a couple more days,” Cai Damei explained.
"Oh," Ye Yunniang said, and drank the tea in her cup.
Cai Damei opened the box in her hand, inside which was a pair of flying geese.
"How about sending a pair of flying geese as a wedding gift to Tie Yi and Baise?"
"Pingping and I picked out a pair of cranes. Mother, you're also giving us a pair of geese. Aren't we giving each other a bit of duplicates?" Ye Yunniang worried.
After thinking about it, Cai Damei realized that there was a bit of truth to it.
"Let's go take a look at West Street."
"Wait a minute, I need to go to the outhouse." I drink too much water, so I have to go to the outhouse many times a day.
Having been acquainted with Baise, Ye Yunniang knew that she loved fur, especially fox fur.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law arrived at West Street and went into a fur shop with a specific purpose: to select a reasonably priced and attractive fox pelt.
After some searching, the two of them both took a liking to a pure red fox pelt.
Ye Yunniang reached out and took it in her hand, then pulled it.
It didn't budge.
The other end of the fox pelt was held by two other hands.
Ye Yunniang knew the owners of both hands.
One hand belongs to Jiang Mingyue. The other hand belongs to Hong Shao, Xing Jinxiu's maid.
Ye Yunniang cursed under her breath for seeing the two people she least wanted to see.
"You two let go," Hong Shao ordered arrogantly.
