Chapter 1102: The Tenderness of Prince Xiao (XIV)
Youzhou Prefecture.
The main courtyard of the Wang family.
Ye Yueying stood under the eaves, silently watching the falling snow.
It has been half a month since she came back with Uncle Leng. She has become a cousin living in her maternal grandparents' home again, and she has to come to the main courtyard on time every day to pay her respects to her aunt.
Whenever my aunt was in a bad mood, she would be left outside the door for two or three quarters of an hour, no matter whether it was hot summer or cold winter!
Ye Yueying glanced at the motionless door curtain indifferently, thinking to herself, her aunt must have been angry again, and she was going crazy here so early in the morning!
"girl!"
Hearing that Ye Yueying was left outside by the eldest lady again, her wet nurse Ye quickly brought her a hand warmer.
Ye Yueying took the hand warmer with a faint smile and whispered, "I'm fine, I just want to drink some yam soup. Nanny, please go back to the yard and make it for me."
Ye knew that Ye Yueying wanted to get rid of her so that she wouldn't be seen by the people in the main courtyard and take the opportunity to cause trouble.
Ye seemed to be hesitant to speak, but finally left the main courtyard quickly.
As soon as she left the yard, Ye's eyes were filled with tears. Thinking of the time when she handed over the hand warmer and touched her daughter's icy hands, she couldn't help feeling angry.
Mrs. Wang is the girl's aunt after all, but she has no kindness of an elder.
Her good girl was the apple of the Ye family's eye. When the master and mistress were alive, she was treated like a treasure. How could she have ever suffered such humiliation?
But now, because the Ye family is gone, it has become Madam Wang's venting anger's punching bag.
Seeing the snow falling heavier, Ye wanted to go to the old lady's yard, but after thinking about it, she sighed and gave up.
The girl didn't want to embarrass the old lady, and she didn't want to cause a rift between the old lady and the first lady because of her. This would only make her suffer.
In the upper room, the charcoal brazier was burning brightly, and the whole house was as warm as spring.
Mrs. Wang sat at the dressing table, slowly choosing jewelry. Miss Wang Da and Miss Wang Er sat at the dining table next to her, drinking hot Tremella fuciformis porridge.
After finishing a bowl of porridge, Miss Wang asked symbolically, "Mother, why don't you ask Yueying to come in?"
Before Madam Wang could respond, Miss Wang II spoke up first, "She should be allowed to clear her head outside. What other girl is like her, staying out for two months at a time?"
"She doesn't want fame, but our family does."
"She is now being raised in our home, and her every move affects the reputation of the Wang family. She's been away for two months now. If outsiders find out, who knows how they'll frame our family."
Miss Wang did not refute her sister, and automatically ignored the exaggeration in her sister's words.
Ye Yueying followed Leng Feng out, and it was not unusual for her to have an elder accompanying her.
They just wanted to find a reason to make things difficult for Ye Yueying.
"But it's snowing outside. If she gets frozen, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain to my grandmother."
Miss Wang Er immediately curled her lips and snorted, "Grandma is just partial. Ye Yueying is always so cold, as if others owe her something. I really don't know why Grandma likes her so much."
At this time, Madam Wang spoke up, smiling and saying to her two daughters, "Your grandmother pities her because both her parents are dead."
Miss Wang Er directly added: "She is really lucky. All the members of the Ye family died, but she is still alive."
These words were really vicious, but Mrs. Wang and Miss Wang both looked calm, which showed that the three of them often got together to talk about these things.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Mrs. Wang asked the maid to call Ye Yueying into the house.
Ye Yueying walked into the room with a calm expression and bowed to Madam Wang in a proper manner: "Greetings to my aunt."
Mrs. Wang smiled kindly and asked Ye Yueying about her daily life with concern. No matter what she said, Ye Yueying remained calm, neither agreeing nor getting angry.
Looking at Ye Yueying's wooden face, Mrs. Wang and her two daughters were speechless. They said a few words and let her leave.
After leaving the main courtyard, Ye Yueying breathed a sigh of relief.
Xuehua knew that Ye Yueying was feeling frustrated, so she whispered to comfort her, "Miss, let's just be patient for a while. Everything will be fine once the old lady finds someone for you."
Ye Yueying smiled bitterly. Will it really be okay?
Could it be that it was moved from one cage to another?
She is just an orphan, without any family to rely on. Can she really find a husband-in-law who treats her wholeheartedly?
Thinking of this, Ye Yueying couldn't help but think of a smiling face again. Although she was of noble status, she never put on airs. She loved to laugh and was so gentle.
He must have a happy family and family members who love him wholeheartedly, so he can show such a warm smile.
Ye Yueying shook her head. Why did she think of him again?
"Let's go to grandma's yard."
"Yueying, wait for me!"
When Ye Yueying and Xuehua passed by the lotus pond, Miss Wang Er suddenly chased them from behind. Ye Yueying frowned but did not slow down.
The reason why she endured her aunt's troubles was that she didn't want to make a big deal out of it and embarrass her grandmother. Over the years since the Wang family adopted her, her grandmother had already had disputes with her aunt, and she didn't want to see the white-haired old man bowing to her daughter-in-law for her.
However, this does not mean that she is easy to bully.
Miss Wang chased for a long time before she caught up with Ye Yueying, panting.
As soon as she got closer, Miss Wang started to attack her: "Ye Yueying, are you deaf? Didn't you hear me calling you just now? Why didn't you stop and wait for me?"
Ye Yueying didn't say anything, but looked at Miss Wang Er with a somewhat cold gaze.
Miss Wang wanted to curse a few more times, but when she met Ye Yueying's eyes, she became a little scared.
Even though she and her elder sister usually outdo Ye Yueying in everything, they are the ones who pick out the good things at home first, and only give the rest to Ye Yueying.
But if they were asked to face Ye Yueying, they would not dare.
It’s because Ye Yueying’s eyes are too terrifying, sometimes they just send chills down their spines.
Ye Yueying: "If you have something to say, tell me. If not, I'll leave."
Miss Wang was irritated by Ye Yueying's cold attitude: "Ye Yueying, what's with your attitude? My family took you in and raised you for so many years, you should be grateful."
"Do you know that you are really uneducated? I really don't know how your parents taught you in the past."
As soon as these words came out, Ye Yueying's expression changed immediately. They could say something about her, but they couldn't say anything about her parents!
Ye Yueying grabbed Miss Wang Er's clothes on her chest and dragged her directly to the edge of the pond, making her lean back.
“Ah~”
Miss Wang Er thought Ye Yueying was going to throw her into the lotus pond. She was so scared that she grabbed Ye Yueying's hand tightly and couldn't speak.
Ye Yueying looked at Miss Wang Er with a cold gaze: "If you dare to make up stories about my parents again, I will make you sink to the bottom of the pond forever. Do you understand?"
Miss Wang Er was frightened by the murderous intent in Ye Yueying's eyes and nodded repeatedly.
Ye Yueying pulled Miss Wang back with a little effort, then she kindly helped her tidy up her clothes and said gently, "We were just joking, right?"
Miss Wang Er's face turned pale. Although Ye Yueying was smiling at the moment, it made her even more frightened: "Yes."
Ye Yueying let her go: "Since it's just a joke, other people don't need to know, what do you think?"
Miss Wang nodded again.
Ye Yueying looked at Miss Wang Er deeply, turned around, motioned Xuehua to follow, and then left.
After the two men left, Miss Wang's two maids finally reacted and hurried over to support Miss Wang, whose face was pale.
