Chapter 11 Ye Anling is favored by the eunuch
Seeing that Shan'er seemed hesitant to speak, Ye Chutang guessed what she was thinking about.
She picked a strand of hair and wrapped it around her index finger, spinning it in circles.
"Why don't you say anything?"
Shan Er said, "I remember the night before yesterday, the young master said something very strange."
Ye Chutang intuitively felt that what Shan'er was about to say was related to Ye Jingchuan's purpose in bringing her back.
"What did Ye Anzhi say?"
"Dead eunuch, dog eunuch, wishful thinking!"
Although Ye Anzhi is a dandy boy, he keeps his mouth shut when it comes to matters concerning the Ye family.
Shan'er seldom heard any useful news from him.
Because he used all his mouth to scold her.
Two days ago, Ye Anzhi was probably so angry that he said something without restraint.
Ye Chutang was a little curious and asked, "Are eunuchs in power in Beichen Kingdom?"
The original owner grew up in the countryside and knew nothing about the capital or state affairs.
Shan Er was frightened by Ye Chutang's blunt words and quickly reminded, "Miss, please be careful with your words."
"It's true. The Beichen Kingdom is almost destroyed."
The fact that eunuchs can suppress imperial power shows that the roots of Beichen Kingdom are rotten.
Shan'er was afraid that if Ye Chutang continued talking, he would be in danger of death, so he hurriedly continued.
"The young master beat me so hard that night that I felt my life was at its darkest and wanted to jump into a well and die, but then I heard Madam asking the master to take the eldest daughter back home."
The lady would have liked the eldest daughter to stay in the countryside all her life, so she must have some ulterior motive for suddenly bringing her back.
After Ye Chutang connected these two things together, he came to a conclusion.
Ye Anling was favored by the powerful eunuch!
She asked, "Who is the most powerful eunuch?"
Shan Er really knew this person, "The chief eunuch, Eunuch De."
The Shangshu Mansion holds two large banquets every year.
These maids and servants who served nearby would occasionally hear some secrets of the palace and officialdom.
Eunuch De was mentioned the most times.
Lustful, greedy, and in power.
Everyone looked down on him, yet was afraid of him.
Ye Chutang repeated the three words "Eunuch De" and asked again: "Why do you think I can save you?"
Shan Er forced a faint smile.
"I don't know. I just want to give myself one last chance to survive."
"You won the bet. As long as you remain loyal to me, I will give you freedom when I leave the house."
As soon as Ye Chutang finished speaking, Shan'er knelt down again.
"My lady, I am yours now, and I want to be yours in the future."
Although Ye Chutang was used to being alone, she knew that with her current status, she needed someone close to her to serve her.
But not everyone can catch her eye.
"I only accept useful people."
Shan Er kowtowed, "I will definitely not let the young lady down!"
The three years she spent in Shangshu Mansion were not in vain.
No one in the mansion can surpass her in observing people's expressions and getting information.
"Get up."
Shan'er stood up and continued to help Ye Chutang twist her hair.
After squeezing it dry, she tied it into a girlish cross bun.
Ye Chutang looked at the hair draped over his back and felt that he would definitely get prickly heat if he went out.
"Braid the hair at the back."
Although women cannot put their hair up completely before marriage, they are not required to let it down.
Shan'er thinks that letting her hair down looks better, makes her look more girlish and charming.
But she had no intention of disobeying Ye Chutang, and immediately changed her hairstyle slightly to make the braid look nice.
Ye Chutang nodded with satisfaction, "You have quite skillful hands."
She has the original owner's memories and knows how to tie her hair, but she finds it troublesome and always does the simplest style.
"As long as you like it, young lady, I will add some makeup for you."
Ye Chutang refused, "No, just put on some lip balm."
Although ancient cosmetics had no industrial traces, their quality was indeed not high.
Not only does the powder get stuck, but it also gets blurred when it comes into contact with water.
Shan'er thought that the eldest lady was so beautiful that she would be very beautiful even without makeup, so she only used lip balm on her.
She opened two jewelry boxes and asked, "Which headpiece do you want, Miss?"
One set is made of jade and the other set is made of gold. Both are of good quality and are worth at least a hundred taels of silver.
Ye Chutang didn't like these cumbersome things and said, "I'm going to buy new jewelry when I go out, so you don't need to wear them."
Just as she finished speaking, she heard chaotic footsteps coming towards Ningchuyuan.
"Change your clothes."
Dan'er took out a goose yellow Liuxian dress from the closet.
Ancient costumes were complicated, and even a set of light summer clothes had three layers.
Fortunately, the material of the clothes is mulberry silk, which is warm in winter and cool in summer.
When Shan'er was helping Ye Chutang put on the last coat, a clear and pleasant voice rang out.
"Sister, I'm Ling'er, I'm here to see you."
Shan Er helped Ye Chutang tie her waist while saying, "It's the Second Miss."
"You go out and entertain them, I'll take care of the rest myself."
"Yes, Miss."
When Shan'er came out of her boudoir, Ye Anling was about to rush in.
She bowed and saluted, "Meet the Second Miss."
Ye Anling was wearing a pink gauze dress, with her hair tied up in a bun with two braids hanging down, and her hair was surrounded by pearls and jade.
It looks playful and lively, yet elegant.
She asked Shan'er, "Where's my sister?"
"The eldest lady will be here later. Please take a seat, second lady. I will serve you tea."
When Dan'er was boiling water, he asked Wangcai to light the stove so that he could boil water for tea.
The water should be boiling by now.
After Ye Anling waited for Dan'er to go to the small kitchen, the smile on her face disappeared.
She looked towards Ye Chutang's boudoir with disgust in her eyes.
If she hadn't wanted this country woman to marry Eunuch De as her concubine, she wouldn't have come to please her!
When footsteps were heard in the boudoir.
Ye Anling immediately put away his contemptuous look and stood up with a smile on his face.
When she saw Ye Chutang, who was as beautiful as a fairy, her smile froze on her lips.
The country boy is actually more beautiful than Princess Anping!
Princess Anping is the most beautiful woman in the capital.
Ye Chutang looked at Ye Anling, who was in shock, and asked mockingly, "You came here empty-handed?"
Ye Anling came back to his senses and was speechless for a moment.
"Ling'er was in such a hurry to see her sister that she forgot to bring the gift."
"It's not too late to go back and get it now."
“…”
Shan'er just came over with some brewed tea. After hearing what Ye Chutang said, she admired her even more.
Ye Anling was embarrassed and looked at her personal maid.
"Qiulu, go get the eight-treasure auspicious bracelet I prepared for my sister."
This bracelet was given by the prince. It is very valuable and she usually doesn't want to wear it.
But you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child.
Only by making Ye Chutang happy can we gain her trust, and the plan for the homecoming dinner will be easier to implement.
Qiulu knew the significance of the Eight Treasures Auspicious Bracelet to the young lady.
She was stunned for a moment before she responded respectfully, "Yes, Second Miss."
After she left, Ye Anling looked at the stunningly beautiful Ye Chutang with an infatuated look on his face.
"Sister is so beautiful, even prettier than the most beautiful woman in the capital."
Ye Chutang had watched many palace fighting dramas and knew that Ye Anling was secretly making enemies for her.
If word of this gets out, she will become a thorn in the eyes of the "No. 1 Beauty".
Women who are worthy of the title of "the most beautiful woman" are generally royal relatives.
She looked at Ye Anling, who appeared innocent on the outside but was actually dark inside, and took a step back in disgust.
"Don't try to make connections. My mother didn't give me a sister."
The smile on Ye Anling's face disappeared, mist appeared in his eyes, and he looked pitiful as if he was being bullied.
"sister……"
"If you don't understand what people are saying, get out!"
