The woman had a slender waist and was wearing a green dress. She had a smile on her face and beautiful eyes. She walked slowly and gracefully. Her movements were natural and elegant, and her steps were like lotus flowers.
Such beauty, such posture, and such temperament, all who saw her would praise her unanimously. Even Su Wenyue had to admit that this was a truly carefully cultivated lady from a noble family, with dignified manners, natural elegance, and the demeanor of a noble lady. However, no matter how good she was, there was a sense of distance no matter how you looked at her, a sense of unreality.
It was the first time that Su Wenyue had seen such a beautiful woman after his rebirth. In Yiyang Prefecture, this woman could truly be described as a beauty so beautiful that she could make fish sink to the bottom of the water, geese drop to the ground, and the moon hide in shame. With such a beautiful woman in Yiyang Prefecture, Su Wenyue had almost guessed the identity of this woman.
"That's Miss Yin's family, Yin Lihua, a real lady from a noble family. She rarely comes out on weekdays. She is a real lady from a noble family. This is only at a banquet hosted by the Deng family. Otherwise, you might not get to see her." Ye Xinxin also saw it and whispered in Su Wenyue's ear, explaining the woman's identity. However, Su Wenyue felt that these words did not mean what she meant. Was this a compliment?
"The beauty of this Miss Yin is indeed well-deserved." Su Wenyue praised casually, purely because she thought Miss Yin was beautiful, and had no other intentions.
Ye Xinxin didn't think so. She looked at Su Wenyue and said, "Everyone says Miss Yin is pretty, but I don't think she is as pretty as my sister. She is so arrogant. I always feel something is wrong when I am with her. Don't look at her smiling so kindly. In fact, she doesn't care about anyone. People like her are very cunning. We should avoid dealing with such people. It's tiring."
Previously, Su Wenyue was thinking that Ye Xinxin's words were intentional or not, but now after hearing these words, she realized that Ye Xinxin was indeed dissatisfied with Miss Yin. However, what Ye Xinxin said was really on point. This young lady was really not an ordinary person. A figure like Concubine Li, who had such a good relationship with Emperor Wu, still could not defeat this Miss Yin. And Queen Guo, in the end, she was defeated by this Miss Yin, which shows how capable she is.
However, Su Wenyue also heard Sikong Ling tell a secret about Emperor Wu, saying that Miss Yin once saved Emperor Wu's life, so Emperor Wu treated this Miss Yin with special affection. What's more, this Miss Yin was extraordinarily beautiful, and had first-class scheming and means, so it was normal for her to have the last laugh. There was a saying at that time, "If you want to marry a wife, you should marry Yin Lihua", which shows the position of Yin Lihua in Emperor Wu's heart.
Thinking of this, Su Wenyue counted the days and her heart skipped a beat. The so-called "life-saving grace", could it be this time? The timings do match. If so, it would be interesting. Without this life-saving grace, I wonder if the life of this young lady of the Yin family, the Queen Yin who had the last laugh, would have such a smooth journey.
Su Wenyue's impression of Queen Yin was not very good. When she mentioned Queen Yin, she could almost instinctively think of the mistress of the Sikong family, who had a kind face but a cruel heart, and she didn't know how to torture people. In her opinion, Queen Yin was just this kind of person. This was not a conclusion drawn out of thin air. Sikong Ling had mentioned Queen Yin before. Although Su Wenyue could not fully understand Queen Yin, she had a general understanding of her.
"Sister Ye, please don't say that. Miss Yin is the most beautiful girl in Yiyang Prefecture. I can never compare to her. Don't make people laugh at you for saying that." Su Wenyue was still confident in her beauty, but since Ye Xinxin could say that, she couldn't respond like that, otherwise people would think she was frivolous.
This young lady of the Yin family has a good reputation in Yiyang Prefecture. She is not only beautiful, but also virtuous. She would not be foolish enough to rush into a competition with her. Although she does not care about such false reputation, she does not want to get a bad reputation for such a small matter.
Su Wenyue was just thinking about this when Miss Yin came up to her and greeted Ye Xinxin. With Ye Xinxin's background and the fact that she was the young lady of the Shangguan family, even Miss Yin could not look down on her.
Although Ye Xinxin didn't like Miss Yin very much, she didn't treat her the same way as she treated Hongling before. She was not really that willful. She still greeted Miss Yin politely and there was nothing else to say after that. After all, she really had nothing to talk about with Miss Yin.
As for Su Wenyue, I don't know if Miss Yin didn't notice her or what, but she almost ignored her existence. Although Su Wenyue had no intention of currying favor with Miss Yin, she was somewhat unhappy seeing Miss Yin's attitude. In the past, she only heard that Miss Yin was a virtuous and talented person, and a kind person. Now it seems that this also depends on the person. People obviously look down on people like her.
Su Wenyue did not force it, it was just fine this way, but Ye Xinxin couldn't stand it. Although she had only met Su Wenyue a few times, she regarded Su Wenyue as a good friend in her heart. The polite greeting to Miss Yin just now was just the upbringing of a lady from a noble family. She didn't take Miss Yin seriously in her heart. Although the Yin family was a wealthy and powerful family in Yiyang Prefecture, it was still ranked behind in the entire Daming Dynasty.
"Tsk tsk, some people are really arrogant. They think they are so great that they can look down on others. That's why they can't listen to the rumors outside. The rumors about being as beautiful as a fairy and being virtuous are probably not worthy of the reputation." Ye Xinxin said sarcastically. Although she didn't mention anyone by name, everyone present knew it well as she said it so obviously.
Miss Yin's face was stiff for a moment. She really didn't expect that Ye Xinxin would be so disrespectful to her in order to stand up for Su Wenyue.
She really didn't mean it, but she looked down on Su Wenyue's identity, no matter if she was the daughter of a lowly merchant or a peasant woman who relied on her husband's opportunistic promotion to climb up to the upper class. She even despised her in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. That was because of her good upbringing.
In addition to her family background and beauty, Yin Lihua has always been proud of her good upbringing and talent. She has put the most effort into these aspects. In the future, she is determined to marry a husband who is worthy of her and even reach the peak of her life.
As for the relationship between the Su family and the Beian Marquis' Mansion, Yin Lihua had no scruples at all. Outsiders were unaware of the ancestral rules of the Su family. In Yin Lihua's opinion, the Beian Marquis' Mansion would separate the second branch of the legitimate family. It must be that the second branch had done something that the Beian Marquis' Mansion could not tolerate. If it was not the legitimate branch, how could it be separated alone? As for the fact that the wife of the Beian Marquis was willing to give some face to the second branch, it was probably because of the family lineage. It was just a matter of face.
"It's Lihua's fault. I was distracted just now and didn't notice this lady. Lihua apologizes here." Yin Lihua thought so in her heart, but said apologetically on her face.
