Chapter 6 Mother
Cui'er was taken aback and stared blankly at Ye Wanning. "Why did you suddenly ask about this, Miss?"
Ye Wanning was taken aback. Right, why was she asking this? Looking at Cui'er's strange gaze, Ye Wanning instantly felt a little uncomfortable. She coughed lightly a few times and said, "Well, after all, he's my future husband. It's only right that I get to know him better, you know? If I don't know, I'll go ask Granny Sun."
Cui'er smiled and said, "You haven't even married yet, Miss, you're really shameless."
Ye Wanning blushed. Damn it, she had been mocked by that silly girl Cui'er. She glared at her and said fiercely, "Speak up, do you know I'm too lazy to waste my breath on you?"
"Alright, alright," Cui'er said, sounding a little aggrieved. "Miss's temper is so unpredictable these days. She was perfectly fine just now, but now she's all fierce." Looking at Ye Wanning's eyes, Cui'er felt a little scared. "I've heard some things about Prince Jin from others..."
"Speak quickly."
"It is said that the current emperor has four princes: Su Wenxuan, Su Wenzhen, Su Wenliang, and Su Wenyan. The second prince, also known as Prince Jin, was born to the emperor's most beloved concubine, Consort Liu. It seems that the emperor intended to make the second prince the crown prince. However, when Prince Jin was ten years old, he fell off a wall while playing and became mentally disabled. The position of crown prince was then abandoned, and he was eventually granted the title of prince. Although Consort Liu passed away when the prince was in his teens, the emperor's favor towards Prince Jin did not diminish but rather increased. It was only under the emperor's protection that the Prince Jin's mansion was able to continue to exist."
Ye Wanning touched her chin thoughtfully. Wenxuan and Wenzhen, these names are quite interesting.
"But everyone says that Prince Jin was framed by the Crown Prince's people, which is why he became an idiot," Cui'er muttered as she packed her things.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Ye Wanning was startled. This matter was obvious, but if it were mentioned and someone with ulterior motives heard it, she would not have a good ending.
Cui'er was startled by Ye Wanning's voice and was stunned for a moment before realizing that she had let something slip again, "Miss..."
Ye Wanning frowned. When would this girl change her temper? She waved her hand and said, "You may leave. I'm tired."
Since that incident, Su Wenzhen has never caused trouble at the Prime Minister's residence again. It was probably because Ye Qingyuan gave the word that no one in the Prime Minister's residence tried to find ways to make trouble for Ye Wanning anymore, and she had a few days of peace and quiet.
A few days later, Ye Wanning's wedding day finally arrived. The courtyard was bustling with activity. Ye Wanning sat in the room, shifting her body uncomfortably. Although she hadn't been here long, she had developed some attachment to this place, and leaving so suddenly still made her feel a little uncomfortable.
"Miss, Miss!" Cui'er ran over excitedly. "I took a look, and the First Madam really sent over a lot of things as part of her dowry. There are so many rare and exotic items!"
"Heh." Ye Wanning sneered. Would the Prime Minister's mansion lack such things? She looked at the gleeful Cui'er. This dim-witted girl would probably be sold out in the future and still be helping the seller count the money.
Seeing Ye Wanning's reaction, Cui'er thought she was reluctant to leave the people in the manor, so she quickly comforted her, "I know that Miss is reluctant to let go of Master and the others, but it's okay. Miss can still come back to visit often after you get married. Besides, Granny Sun and I will accompany you when you get married, so you won't be lonely."
Ye Wanning couldn't help but laugh. This girl was really naive. She was too busy trying to leave the Prime Minister's residence to come back and visit. Ye Wanning had no time for such things. "Alright." Ye Wanning nodded. "I know. Call Granny Sun over. I have something to discuss with her."
"Yes! I'll go right away!"
The Prime Minister's residence was filled with joy, except for one place that seemed rather deserted.
"I heard that the one getting married today is the third daughter of the Prime Minister's family?"
"Yes." Ye Qingyuan knelt on the ground, his forehead already covered in fine beads of sweat. He looked somewhat uneasily at the man sitting on the bed not far away.
The man picked up the teacup beside him and took a small sip. "I also heard that this third young lady recently attempted suicide but was rescued, and that she seems to have completely changed since then?"
"this……"
"Ye Qingyuan, how dare you!" The man slammed the teacup to the ground. "How dare you disobey His Highness's orders!"
Ye Qingyuan was startled and quickly begged for mercy: "Your Highness, spare me! Your Highness, spare me! This Prince Jin is an idiot, and Wanyi, she..."
"Don't give me this nonsense! Isn't this Third Miss your own flesh and blood? Don't think I don't know what you're up to!" Su Wenxuan glared at him, her face full of anger. "If anything happens to Prince Jin, I'll hold you responsible!"
Just as everyone in the Prime Minister's residence was busy with the matter of the Third Miss, an uninvited guest suddenly arrived.
"The Crown Princess has arrived!"
Ye Wanyi stood at the main gate of the Prime Minister's residence, looking somewhat uneasy at the person alighting from the carriage. "Sister, what brings you here?"
Ye Wanqing glanced at her and said in a somewhat cool tone, "My sister is getting married, why can't I come?"
Seeing the barbed reaction in Ye Wanqing's words, Ye Wanyi was shocked. It seemed that what she had said that day had reached her ears. Her face darkened, and she looked around at the servants, wondering which wretched woman had done this!
Seeing Ye Wanyi's accusing gaze, the servants all lowered their heads, not daring to utter a sound. Ye Wanyi put on a smiling face, "Look at what you're saying, sister. I didn't mean that at all. It's my good fortune that you're here, sister."
“My sister is quite eloquent, but…” She glanced lazily at Ye Wanyi, “it would be better if you called me Crown Princess. I should also start calling you Second Sister, so as not to cause any misunderstandings or to prevent anyone from having ulterior motives.”
Ye Wanyi froze. After so many years of being sisters, she never expected that Ye Wanqing would show no affection at all. Ye Wanning... it was all her doing!
"Alright, let's go in and see how Third Sister's preparations are going."
"yes."
Ye Wanqing glanced at Ye Wanyi following behind her and sneered, "You overestimating yourself, you dare to try to climb over my head? Dream on!"
Inside the room, Granny Sun was combing Ye Wanning's hair, chanting, "One comb to the end, two combs to white hair reaching the eyebrows, three combs to children and grandchildren all over the floor..."
"And she's supposed to have white hair, a full house of children and grandchildren." Cui'er muttered softly, "What a pity for our young lady, a fool like that."
Granny Sun turned her head and glared at Cui'er, clearly implying that she was being unreasonable.
Ye Wanning smiled. This Granny Sun really reminded her of her mother. She wondered what her mother would do if she knew she wouldn't wake up... Was she... still waiting for her to wake up? Thinking of this, Ye Wanning's heart couldn't help but ache.
Seeing that Ye Wanning's complexion suddenly turned a little pale, Granny Sun asked with concern, "Miss, what's wrong... Are you too nervous? Should you rest for a while?"
Ye Wanning shook her head, her face pale. "It's nothing... I just... I just thought of my mother..."
Hearing this, Granny Sun smiled and said, "Miss's mother is actually a very good person."
"Do you know my mother?" Ye Wanning was taken aback, then suddenly realized that Granny Sun was talking about the original owner of this body's mother. This child was quite pitiful, losing her mother at birth. If she had transmigrated like her, that would be great. She hoped that she could take good care of her mother in her place, just as she was taking her place to live well.
"Yes," Granny Sun nodded. "Back then, Miss's mother was extremely beautiful. I don't know why she came to the manor as a maid, and in the end, she was even..."
"Then why did she die?" Ye Wanning stared blankly at the person in the bronze mirror. Although she couldn't see her face clearly, the vague outline showed that she was a great beauty with a small face, willow-leaf eyebrows, big eyes, a high nose bridge, and delicate red lips.
Granny Sun sighed, "This is... Master's order! He feels that Miss's mother was a major failure in his life... so he ordered her to be executed. This is also why, all these years, Master has never treated you as a daughter!"
