Chapter 36: 035 Prime Minister Residence’s Number One Talented Lady (17) One More
Mrs. Ye was about to say something else when, catching a glimpse of Ye Shaohua from the corner of her eye, she quickly wiped her tears and pretended nothing was amiss as she greeted Ye Shaohua.
Aunt Ye hurriedly wiped away her own tears and took Ye Shaohua’s hand, giving her a thorough look, “Shaohua has grown up to be so radiant and beautiful, even the acclaimed beauties of Yunnan can’t compare to her.”
When it came to Ye Shaohua, Aunt Ye also remembered the main reason for her visit today.
She took out a pile of banknotes from her pocket, along with deeds to shops, “Sister-in-law, even though the Prime Minister Residence is no longer as prosperous as it once was, the marriage between Shaohua and Ye Huaijin is of great importance. This is all the savings I’ve accumulated over the years, to be added to Shaohua’s dowry. Sadly, I had a set of red jade jewelry that would have suited Shaohua perfectly.”
No matter what, the daughters of the Ye Family must marry off in a grand and dignified manner.
When she had married, her brother and sister-in-law had prepared an extravagant dowry that spanned ten miles, almost moving half of the Ye Residence’s wealth to Yunnan.
Now, the entire dowry was taken by the insatiable and greedy Wen Taiwei.
Aunt Ye must have had a hard time in the Taiwei Residence, and Mrs. Ye didn’t want to accept her money. Despite its decline, the Ye Residence still had enough for Ye Shaohua’s dowry.
However, there were many things Mrs. Ye didn’t feel comfortable mentioning in front of Ye Shaohua.
Aunt Ye forcefully stuffed the money into Mrs. Ye’s hands before returning to the Taiwei Residence.
Her steps were not as light as those of a healthy person but resembled more the pace of someone suffering from an internal injury.
Ye Shaohua stroked her chin, watching Aunt Ye’s retreating figure. She turned her head and spoke in a soothing voice, “Mother, let’s bring Auntie back home.”
“Nonsense,” Mrs. Ye replied irritated, looking at her, “With the current state of the Residence, would we be bringing your aunt back to suffer?”
Although the Taiwei Residence wasn’t an easy place to live, it was at least safer than the Ye Residence.
“Don’t be upset, Mother, let’s have a cup of tea,” Ye Shaohua said, smiling as she poured a cup of tea and handed it to Mrs. Ye.
Ye Shaohua stayed with Mrs. Ye for a while, waiting until the latter’s mood had visibly relaxed, before returning to her own room.
Back in her room, the smile on her face vanished instantly, her eyes as cold as ice.
“Miss?” Mo Hen, following her, unconsciously rubbed the back of his hand.
“How many have left the Ye Residence?” Ye Shaohua asked inquisitively. freёwebnovel.com
Mo Hen furrowed her brows, “The majority. They were afraid of being beheaded, and the kind-hearted mistress returned their indentures to let them go back home to retire.”
Ye Shaohua wrote a few lines on a piece of paper, folded it, and handed it to Mo Hen with an indifferent tone, “Send this to Wuxin.”
“Miss, if you ask me, you should just have Wuxin come over and flay that Wen Taiwei alive!” Mo Hen said furiously, and after pondering for a moment, added, “Right, the Shen Family sent someone saying that the Crown Prince of Cloud Country, along with the third and the seventh princes, have all sent people to Jiangnan to look for you.”
Mo Hen was the only person in the Ye Residence who knew Ye Shaohua’s real identity.
Mrs. Ye and Ye Huaijin had always treated her as a normal lady, but Mo Hen knew that her mistress was no ordinary woman.
