Chapter 54 Where Did She Go?
Mrs. Deng hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Madam, An Yun is still young. It's really not appropriate for her to get married so early. Why not wait another two years?"
When Madam Pei sent someone to report the news, she vaguely felt that something was wrong. Ye Qingshang was treated like a treasure by Madam Ye. She was reluctant to let go of the Ye family's legitimate daughter when she wanted her to enter the palace a few months ago. She spared no time and energy to go to Nanyang to find the fourth daughter who had been separated for many years and marry her off. Now she is facing the stupid son of the Pei family. How could Madam Ye let go?
After all the calculations, all the daughters of the Ye family have become shields for Ye Qingshang, and An Yun can no longer escape this fate.
As she expected, Madam Ye sneered, "I'm giving you a chance, so that your daughter can marry in style as a legitimate daughter. It will sound good then, so that she won't be wronged in her husband's family. But you don't cherish it."
Madam Ye glanced at Deng. For so many years, she had always looked timid. Everyone in the mansion said Qin was similar to her, but only those who had come into contact with them knew that Deng was timid while Qin was indifferent. She was more clever than Deng, which was why Madam Ye disliked that woman.
"In this inner courtyard, what marriage can be based on mutual love? Whether your daughter gets married or not is not up to you to decide."
After saying that, she got up and left without even touching a sip of the cup of warm tea that Mrs. Deng had poured for her. Mrs. Deng stared at the teacup and suddenly had a seizure. She picked up the teacup and threw it hard to the ground. The tea soaked the floor and a few drops splashed onto her clothes.
This scene startled the maid standing at the door. She looked at Deng in surprise. She didn't know what was wrong with her master, who was always emotionally stable. But when Deng got angry, the servants didn't dare to get close to her and just stood aside obediently.
When Mrs. Deng saw her, she suddenly asked, "Where is the fifth young lady?"
The maid bowed her head and said, "The eldest lady said that the fifth lady is old enough and should learn to manage the household. This year, she will let the fifth lady go with the servants to buy winter clothes."
Suddenly, she remembered what the eldest lady had just said. No wonder she said she couldn't decide Anyun's marriage. Her intuition was that something bad was going to happen. Deng asked the maid again, "Who went with them?"
"It's the people from the service station, and Madam Liu from Madam Ye's room."
"No one else?"
The maid shook her head, and Deng's mind went blank. This girl, didn't she take someone she trusted with her when she left the house? She couldn't find anyone even if she tried to find them. If Madam Ye really wanted to harm Ye Anyun, how could she possibly find them without someone from her own family to report back?
Ye Lanzhou was unaware of the commotion at the mansion. She only saw Madam Ye emerging from Deng's room, and wondered what Madam Ye had come to see Deng about so late at night. She had originally planned to take advantage of the darkness to wander around the mansion, to see how different the mansion in Shangjing was from the one in Nanyang. She had expected some differences, but she hadn't imagined they would be so drastic, completely different from the one in Nanyang.
Xie Chengyan asked her to find the body, but it might take some time.
She turned around and saw Hong Luo behind her. Xie Chengyan asked Hong Luo to follow her into the Ye Mansion, saying that she was a maid brought from the palace. In fact, Ye Lanzhou knew very well that Hong Luo was sent here to monitor her every move.
But Hong Luo was unhappy at this time, seemed absent-minded, and seemed to have something on his mind.
