My elder sister stole my marriage? She regretted and cried after I married the general.
Chapter 54: The Secret Revealed, Mother-in-law Sets a Trap
"Just tell me if I can help," Mrs. Ye said with concern.
Ye Qinglan pulled Madam Ye aside and whispered, "I know that what happened today has disappointed you. But please rest assured, I will definitely become the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion!"
Mrs. Ye's eyes were complicated.
Judging from the attitude of the Crown Prince and his wife today, it would be good enough for Lan'er to be able to live safely in the Marquis' Mansion. How could she still hope to become the mistress?
"Please lend me some money for business."
"Stupid!" Madam Ye refused without even thinking, "Just keep your love and don't think about those unnecessary things!"
Ye Qinglan whispered, "Mother, you don't know that this winter will be very cold, and the price of charcoal will remain high. The prince is already hoarding charcoal, but unfortunately he has limited money. If I can get mother's help, I will make a lot of money for the Marquis' Mansion, and they will not dare to look down on me again."
"This autumn is quite normal. Who told you it would be cold in winter?" Mrs. Ye asked suspiciously.
"I dreamt about it." Ye Qinglan said mysteriously.
Mrs. Ye: ………
To be honest, she now regrets changing her marriage.
The life of his daughter in the Marquis's Mansion was not satisfactory. However, Ye Qinghuan was like a fish in water in the General's Mansion.
She even suspected that Ye Qinglan's so-called dream was simply made up by her.
"Mom, lend me five thousand taels of silver and pay it back after the winter." Ye Qinglan continued to persuade.
Madam Ye sighed and asked earnestly, "Lan'er, do you still think that the so-called dream is correct?"
"Of course!" Ye Qinglan clenched her fists tightly, with a strong fighting spirit in her eyes.
Mrs. Ye suspected that her soul had been taken away by witchcraft.
Perhaps dreams are reminders from God, but we cannot rely entirely on dreams to live our lives.
Marrying into the Marquis's Mansion was already a big mistake. Wouldn't it be a big mistake to continue to believe in dreams?
"Lan'er, tell me the truth, what kind of people did you come into contact with before you got married?" asked Mrs. Ye.
Ye Qinglan saw through her mother's worries. After thinking for a while, she dismissed her attendants and whispered, "Don't be afraid, mother. I haven't been brainwashed."
"then you……"
"I am reborn."
Mrs. Ye widened her eyes in disbelief.
"I have lived two lives. In my previous life, I married Shen Lin, and she ended up in a miserable way. So in this life, I must not repeat the same mistakes. I want to change!"
Ye Qinglan became more and more excited as she spoke. She seemed to be glowing and full of hope.
Mrs. Ye was so shocked that she covered her mouth and could not speak.
After a long time, she came back to her senses and asked in a trembling voice: "Lan'er, is everything you said true?"
"Of course." Ye Qinglan held her head high, full of confidence, "I know what will happen in the future. Just based on this, I will definitely win against Ye Qinghuan!"
Mrs. Ye still couldn't believe it.
Rebirth? Lived two lives? How could such a thing happen?
"Mom, there will be continuous heavy snow this winter. The charcoal market was not good last year, and this year fewer people are burning charcoal. By then, Shengjing will be short of charcoal. We should stock up on charcoal now so that we can sell it at a high price in winter!"
"Also, my father will be promoted to prime minister, my brother Jing will marry the daughter of a wealthy businessman, my brother Yuan will become the top scholar, and our Ye family will live a very good life..."
"..."
Ye Qinglan described the blueprint of her previous life to Mrs. Ye.
Mrs. Ye was moved: "Really, is that so good?"
"Mom, if it weren't for this, how could I be willing to be a concubine? Don't think that Ye Qinghuan is living a glorious life now, she will soon be kicked out by Shen Lin."
Mrs. Ye finally believed it: "I will ask Yuan Jing to send you money later. You just made a mistake. Be more careful in the future."
"Don't worry, mom. I understand." Ye Qinglan straightened her back.
She will definitely succeed!
What is happening now is just slightly different from what happened in the previous life.
……
Su Jinxiu fell ill and could not go out for several days. Her promise to help housekeeper Ye Qinghuan became empty talk.
Such a huge mansion is filled with all kinds of messy little things, and no matter who is in charge, there are bound to be omissions.
What's more, Ye Qinghuan has no experience in housekeeping.
So, everyone was waiting to see the joke.
Not only the second and third wives, but also Old Madam Shen is like this.
He appeared to be giving up power, but secretly kept a close eye on Ye Qinghuan, waiting for her to make a mistake so that he would have a reason to punish her severely.
Little did they know that Ye Qinghuan had ten years of experience in running a marquis' mansion in his previous life, and was adept at managing a general's mansion.
While managing the household, she also conducted secret investigations into what happened fifteen years ago.
But the strange thing is that no clinic in Shengjing, big or small, had ever examined my mother!
"How could this happen?" Ye Qinghuan couldn't understand.
Fifteen years ago, although Ye Huai was only a fifth-rank official, his family was not bad. Why didn't he take his mother to see a doctor? Why did he just watch his pregnant concubine lose her vitality day by day?
The mother was also puzzled. She was not without money, so why didn't she go see a doctor herself? Even if she was severely suppressed by the mistress, she should ask for help from her maternal family.
Also, how could my mother be infected with the heart-eating poison?
Many doubts fill my mind and I can't find the answers.
Two days later, Feng He brought back news: "Madam's guess was correct. Madam did learn martial arts when she was in the Su family. However, she was later spotted by Madam Shen and did not continue her studies after being brought to the capital."
Ye Qinghuan became interested. "What did she learn? Who did she follow?"
"She didn't have a disciple. Her mother, Li, taught her secretly. Li was redeemed by the Su family from a brothel. She is now dead."
"When you find a chance, test her skills. In addition, I want to contact my maternal family. With your connections in the underworld, can you deliver this letter to the Bai family in Jiangnan?" Ye Qinghuan took out the written letter, feeling inexplicably nervous.
In her past and present lives, she had never heard any news about the Bai family. It was as if the Bai family had disappeared.
It was obvious that when my mother married Ye Huai, the Bai family was still a well-known wealthy family in Jiangnan!
Her intuition told her that the matter might be related to "Heart-Eating".
The Bai family, could it be that they have been silenced?
"lady."
Ye Qinghuan was lost in thought when Nanny Qin arrived.
Ye Qinghuan collected his thoughts and asked, "Why did Nanny Qin come over?"
"There is something the old lady almost forgot, so she asked me to come and tell her in a hurry."
"What's the matter?"
"In two days it will be Concubine Jade's birthday. Madam, please prepare a generous gift and make sure Concubine Jade is satisfied."
"What did you give as gifts in previous years?" Ye Qinghuan asked.
Nanny Qin said, "Hey, I am too old to remember. But they are all registered in the book, Madam, you can look it up. Or, go ask the concubine, she is young and should remember it."
"Thank you for your reminder, Ma'am. I understand." Ye Qinghuan has experience in giving gifts.
Refer to the standard gifts given in previous years and you will definitely not go wrong.
Chunyu dug up old accounts, and the master and servant looked at them under the lamp.
Last year, she gave me a blood jade carved lotus and fish pendant, and the year before that, she gave me a snow-white crystal longevity bracelet... They are all rare and precious jewelry. I guess Concubine Yu likes to wear things.
Ye Qinghuan went to the Shen family's warehouse and looked around, but there was no item of equal value or grade.
"There is a pair of red tourmaline earrings in the madam's dowry, which are very beautiful. Why not give it to her?" Chunyan asked.
Ye Qinghuan frowned: "Why should the General's Mansion use my dowry as a gift?"
Chunyan: "But there is no suitable object here. If it fails to meet the standards of Concubine Yu, Madam will be punished."
"I know." Ye Qinghuan glanced at the common things in the warehouse.
She had only been the housekeeper for a short time, and she had encountered such a big event as the Jade Concubine's birthday. Unfortunately, there was nothing in the storeroom that could be given away.
This pit is too obvious!
"No rush. Let's wait for the general to come back and let him choose." Ye Qinghuan decided to hand this hot potato to Shen Lin.
"But the birthday party is only two days away..."
"The general will be back soon."
Ye Qinghuan was confident.
The guy from Huaxi Villa has complained about her many times!
