Chapter 1039, Disdain
Yan Yihuan returned to the guest house somewhat distraught. She had not expected her eldest sister-in-law to have so many complaints against the second wife. Although her eldest brother tried to comfort her, he did not refute her.
Looking at her mother and sister packing up the house, Yan Yihan showed a bitter smile on her face. It turned out that their second branch was so annoying!
When Sun saw Yan Yihan coming back, she looked behind her and saw that Han Xinran hadn't followed. She frowned and said, "Why, is your sister-in-law really going to ignore us just because of Yile's angry words?"
Yan Yihan glanced at Sun and said, "Mother, you and Yile should rest today. I will take you to meet Big Sister tomorrow, and then you can come with me to Lanwu Mansion."
After hearing the conversation between her elder brother and sister-in-law, she no longer had the face to stay here.
Sun was anxious: "What are you talking about? I brought your sister here this time to show her around. How can Lanwu Mansion compare to Liangdu?"
Yan Yihan looked at Yan Yile who was sitting silently beside him, sighed, and said tactfully: "Our second house has already troubled the first house enough. We can't rely on the first house for everything."
"Lanwu Mansion is indeed not as good as Liangdu, but the conditions are not particularly bad. I can get used to living there, so I think Yile can do it too."
Sun shook her head. "It's not a question of whether you can get used to living here or not. Your sister wants to find someone good. Can the one in Lanwu Mansion compare to the one in Liangdu?"
Yan Yihan frowned: "Mom, the most important thing when getting married is character. It's not that a good family background doesn't make a good choice. Haven't you suffered enough from the Fang family?"
"Yes, the families of the Lanwu Mansion may not be of high social status or high official positions, but such families have simple relationships. With fewer people, there are fewer conflicts, and life is more comfortable, isn't it?"
"Over the years, my daughter has gotten to know quite a few families in Lanwu Mansion, many of whom are well known to her. This time, when we look for a husband for my sister, we must choose from such families and make no mistake."
Sun was somewhat persuaded, but she still said, "I understand what you said. You don't have to go to Lanwu Mansion. There must be such a family in Liangdu."
"Wen Xiu and Dao Hua, one of them is a councilor and the other is a princess, they know a lot of people, who wouldn't give a little face and help your sister introduce someone? It's a matter of minutes."
At this time, Yan Yile spoke up: "Mom, please don't make things difficult for Second Sister anymore. Second Sister has already said it clearly enough. Big Brother and the others don't want to get involved in my affairs. Why are you forcing them?"
Sun scolded, "Shut up right there! If you hadn't just offended your sister-in-law, how could things have turned out like this?"
As he spoke, he looked at Yan Yihuan and asked for confirmation: "Does your sister-in-law really not care about Yile's affairs anymore?"
Yan Yihan didn't say anything.
Sun was anxious and angry: "Yes, Yile's words just now were a bit harsh, but as the eldest sister-in-law, is she really going to be angry with her younger sister-in-law?"
As he spoke, he walked around the room twice.
"Okay, I'll go apologize to her."
Hearing this, Yan Yihan quickly grabbed Sun and said, "Mom, please don't add fuel to the fire. As an elder, you go to apologize to your sister-in-law. Where do you want to put her?"
Sun was completely at her wit's end: "This won't work, that won't work either. So what do you want me to do? What do you want your sister to do?"
As he spoke, his eyes turned red. "Yile is not young anymore. We can't put it off any longer. You don't want her to be alone for the rest of her life, do you?"
Seeing Sun worrying about her, Yan Yile felt a little sad: "Mom, don't worry about me. At worst, I can live alone in the future."
Sun immediately scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about." Then, she looked at Yan Yihuan and said, "Yihuan, now that you are living a good life, you can't help but support your sister."
Yan Yihuan was very tired: "Did I say I wouldn't help? Mom, your requirements are too high. My ability is limited. All I can do is help Yile find someone in Lanwu Mansion. I don't know many people in Liangdu."
As he said this, he looked at Yan Yile.
"Yile, you've always been strong since you were young. Today I want to advise you that sometimes you just have to accept your fate."
Yan Yile glanced at Yan Yihan in a flash: "Second sister, I just want to live a better life, why do you have to accept your fate?"
Yan Yihan looked at her and said, "What do you mean by living a better life? Fourth sister, do you know that you have a big flaw? That is, you are never satisfied."
After saying that, he stopped looking at her and looked at Sun.
"Mom, don't pack your things yet. After meeting Big Sister tomorrow, come back to Lanwu Mansion with me. Big Sister and the others are actually quite busy."
Watching Yan Yihan leave, Sun slapped her legs anxiously and said, "No, since your eldest brother and sister-in-law don't care, I'll go straight to Daohua. She won't dare to refuse me."
Yan Yile grabbed Sun and said, "Mother, don't go. My eldest sister has never been easy to get along with since she was a child. She is the most cruel among the sisters. Otherwise, she would not be able to become a princess."
"You can't persuade her to do something she doesn't want to do. Have you forgotten that my second brother didn't go to Chengwangyue Academy? If she had cared about the brother-sister relationship, our second branch wouldn't be so far behind the first and third branches now."
"Don't bother yourself."
Sun: "What about your case?"
Yan Yile looked a little confused and stared at the ground for a long time without saying a word.
Yan Yihan still shamelessly found Han Xinran.
"Sister-in-law, I apologize to you on behalf of Yile. Ever since the divorce, she's become increasingly sensitive and extreme, perhaps due to too much criticism and prejudice. Second sister-in-law has mentioned this several times in her letters home. Please be magnanimous and don't bother with her."
Han Xinran sighed. She had no opinion about Yan Yihan, and she said frankly, "Yile really needs to change her temper."
"You and I are both wives and daughters-in-law. If we want to live a peaceful life and have a harmonious family, we must tolerate and compromise with each other."
"But look at Yile. She acts as if the whole world owes her something. She has no consideration for others. I'm not saying that if her temper remains the same, she won't be able to live happily even if she remarries."
Yan Yihan smiled bitterly and nodded: "I will try to persuade her. Sister-in-law, I came here to tell you that after seeing Big Sister tomorrow, I will take my mother and Yile back to Lanwu Mansion."
Hearing this, Han Xinran's expression immediately relaxed a lot. Without pretending to persuade them to stay, she just smiled and said, "You and your mother haven't seen each other for many years. It's time to get together."
Yan Yihuan smiled and nodded, but her heart was cold.
The eldest sister-in-law dislikes the second wife to such an extent that she is not even willing to pretend to be kind.
The next morning, Han Xinran took Sun, Yan Yihan and Yan Yile to the palace.
When they went out, Han Xinran and Yan Yihan paused when they saw Yan Yile dressed up.
Han Xinran didn't ride in the same carriage with Sun's mother, daughter, and three others. After getting on the carriage, she shook her head and said, "Fourth sister still likes to compete with the eldest sister."
When we were young, we were all daughters of the Yan family, so there was nothing wrong with comparing with each other; but now our identities and status are completely different, and if we continue to compare with each other, we will be laughed at.
In the carriage at the back, Yan Yihan looked at Yan Yile helplessly: "Fourth sister, you are too strong-willed."
Yan Yile was not happy to hear this: "Why am I so strong?"
Yan Yihan didn't want to start a fight with Yan Yile at this moment, but she didn't get too polite either. She was afraid that Yan Yile wouldn't understand if she said something tactful. "You're just going to meet your sisters, why are you dressing up so extravagantly? With all the jeweled headpieces and brocade dresses, you should keep a low profile given your current status."
Yan Yile was not happy: "Second sister, can you tell me what my current status is? Why can't I wear these?"
Yan Yihan sighed, "What doesn't the palace have? Even if you carry all your treasures around, what will happen? I'm asking you to keep a low profile for your own good. As someone who's divorced, the most important thing to do is to stay in peace and behave yourself."
Seeing her little daughter about to explode, Madam Sun quickly restrained her and said, "Both of you, keep quiet."
