Chapter 4 Aunt Lian
After returning to the Wen Mansion, Zhang did not ask the two girls to go back, so Wen Yingxue had no choice but to follow Wen Wenqing to Zhang's yard.
After sitting down, Wen Yingxue kept her head down and looked at the pattern on her cuffs without saying a word, perfectly portraying the role of a wooden beauty.
Zhang seemed to be used to Wen Yingxue's appearance. She was not angry at all. She asked Wen Yingxue, "Yingxue, I met the prince of Pingyuan Marquis's mansion today. He asked me about you."
Wen Yingxue immediately raised her eyes to look at Zhang, looking very nervous.
Zhang continued, "Yingxue, the Pingyuan Marquis's family is wealthy and powerful, and Prince Ye is handsome and talented. What do you think?"
"Mother, Yingxue is just a concubine's daughter, I dare not marry someone of higher status."
Zhang smiled gently, patting Wen Yingxue's hand and saying, "Our Yingxue is as beautiful as a flower. How can it be considered marrying above her station? Be good! Mother will definitely help you. When you enter the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion, don't forget the help your whole family has given you."
Oh, I should not forget the help from you two! Wen Yingxue thought to herself, secretly pouting.
"Mother, I don't want to marry Ye Shizi. Fourth sister is talented, beautiful, and a legitimate daughter. She is a better match for me."
Wen Rouqing was listening at the side, and she couldn't help but puff out her chest and glanced at Wen Yingxue with contempt, thinking that she was sensible.
Zhang was also quite happy, but she still said, "In a couple of days, Ye Shizi will come to visit our house. You should dress up nicely and come to help greet him."
Wen Yingxue was about to refuse when Zhang turned around and ordered the servants to prepare clothes and jewelry for her.
In the end, Wen Yingxue could only endure Wen Rouqing's sharp gaze and return to her own yard. All the way, she was thinking about what to do when the time comes.
Xuemei Courtyard.
"The young lady is back." As Wen Yingxue and Qinglian entered the yard, Ai Ye ran out.
Ai Ye is another personal maid of Wen Yingxue. Unlike Qinglian sent by Zhang, she has followed Wen Yingxue since she was a child. Apart from Aunt Lian, only Ai Ye is the best to Wen Yingxue and is a loyal and good maid.
"Well, I'm hungry. Have you prepared anything to eat for me?" Wen Yingxue asked Ai Ye with a smile.
"It's ready, Miss, go and eat."
Qinglian, however, bowed disrespectfully and said, "Miss, I'm tired. I'm going to rest first."
Then he walked away without caring whether Wen Yingxue nodded or not.
Ai Ye curled his lips at Qinglian's back.
"Let's go next door to see my aunt first." Wen Yingxue said to Ai Ye, and the two of them sneaked to the next door together.
Wen Yingxue's aunt's surname was Lian. She was an embroiderer and was sold into the Wen Mansion as a slave by her brother at the age of seventeen.
Zhang saw that Concubine Lian was pretty and beautiful, so she promoted her to be a concubine, causing trouble for another favored concubine in the mansion, Concubine Yang.
Wen Yingxue's mother died early in her previous life. After traveling through time, she discovered that Aunt Lian looked exactly like her deceased mother.
After a month of getting along, Wen Yingxue had already regarded Aunt Lian as her own mother due to her meticulous care for her.
"Aunt! I'm back." Wen Yingxue pushed open the door and saw a beautiful young woman about thirty years old.
She was embroidering with her head slightly lowered. Her long, jet-black hair was tied into a bun and pinned with only three or four plain silver hairpins.
Hearing Wen Yingxue's voice, she immediately looked up in surprise. Her willow-shaped eyebrows and watery eyes were filled with tenderness, and her lips were naturally red. Even her shabby and plain clothes could not hide her beauty.
Even though it was not the first time she saw Aunt Lian, Wen Yingxue was still a little stunned.
He is worthy of being the one who gave birth to Wen Yingxue, a beautiful supporting actress who is even better than the heroine.
"Xue'er, why are you here so late?" Aunt Lian stood up and touched Wen Yingxue's hand. It was still very cold at night in March.
Wen Yingxue felt warm at heart as she watched Aunt Lian's actions. She smiled and said, "It's okay. I just missed you and came to see you."
"Did anything happen when you went to the Prime Minister's Mansion with Madam today?" Aunt Lian asked worriedly.
Wen Yingxue smiled and shook her head. She was now occupying Wen Yingxue's body and enjoying the love of Concubine Lian. She had already decided that she must make good plans in the future and would never let Concubine Lian suffer at the hands of Zhang's mother and daughter.
In the book, Wen Yingxue refused to become a concubine in the Pingyuan Marquis's mansion, so Zhang's mother and daughter threatened her with the life of Concubine Lian.
Wen Yingxue agreed reluctantly. After Aunt Lian knew that she had become a bargaining chip to threaten Wen Yingxue, she cried all night and then hanged herself.
After Zhang found out, she rolled up Concubine Lian in a straw mat and threw her into a mass grave without even burying her.
After Wen Yingxue entered the Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion, Ye Junyan accompanied her to visit her parents' home for three days. Only then did Wen Yingxue know that Aunt Lian had died suddenly.
Wen Yingxue didn't even know until her death that her aunt had died for her, but the mother and daughter were reunited in the end.
Because Wen Yingxue's body suffered the same fate as her mother, being wrapped in a straw mat and thrown into a mass grave.
Wen Yingxue only reported good news and not bad news. After chatting with Aunt Lian for a while, she returned to her own Xuemei Courtyard.
Wen Yingxue was scratching her head all the way. Now she has met the male protagonist Ye Junyan, although she and the villain Nie Chubai angered Ye Junyan and drove him away.
But Wen Yingxue knew that with Ye Junyan's temper, he would never give up on her like this.
Ye Junyan is a typical ancient male with three wives and four concubines. However, after he met the heroine Lin Youwan, he was gradually educated and finally became a good husband.
His current personality is extremely domineering and strong. If he can't get it, he would rather destroy it than give it to others.
As for Nie Chubai, thinking of his crazy personality, he might not care about others, but once he met the Ye family, he would definitely fight to the death. Wen Yingxue shuddered, feeling that her teeth were about to fall out with fear.
Wen Yingxue had a terrible headache. She touched her face, looked at her breasts and sighed. It was all because of her beauty.
But Wen Yingxue really wanted to know, she was only fifteen years old and had developed so well, was it really not a big deal?
"Miss? What's wrong with you?" Ai Ye looked at Wen Yingxue with a strange expression. The young lady touched her face, looked at her chest, and finally sighed. After that, her face was full of worry. No one knew what was wrong with her.
Wen Yingxue looked at the same mugwort leaves on her chest and back and sighed, "You don't understand my world."
"It's okay. What delicious food did you make today?" Wen Yingxue rubbed her stomach and asked.
Ai Ye is the same age as Wen Yingxue this year, but she is a good cook. Of course, this is because both she and Wen Yingxue love to eat, so they learned it.
Ai Ye said, "Today I made red bean cakes, donkey rolls, and green plum soup."
Wen Yingxue's eyes lit up immediately. Nothing could stop her from eating. She could think about anything after she finished eating.
