After rebirth, the daughter of the marquisate went crazy
Chapter 46 The person behind the scenes
"Grandmother, Sister Xia is a distant relative of the Duke's Mansion. I thought I had no one to talk to in the Marquis' Mansion, so I brought her here to keep me company. I hope you don't mind."
The old lady said with a cold face, "Qianqian is also in the mansion. If you want to talk to someone, why don't you talk to her? Humph."
Xia Wanyue felt even more embarrassed when she saw the old lady's attitude. Ye Qingyu didn't care about the old lady's gloomy expression at all. She continued to smile and said, "Cousin Qianqian, you have to serve your grandmother. How can you have the time to chat with me?"
"If cousin Qianqian wants to come to Wanyan Pavilion to play with me, I will naturally welcome you very much."
Lu Qianqian had a smile on her face. In a place where Ye Qingyu couldn't see, she gently tugged at the old lady's sleeve and said, "My cousin doesn't mind. Qianqian would like to get closer to me when she has time."
The old lady glanced at Lu Qianqian, and Chen Yinyin, who was standing beside her, looked at the old lady with an inexplicable emotion in her eyes.
The old lady's icy expression softened considerably. "You don't have to call Qianqian cousin anymore. Your father has decided to marry your cousin as his second wife. Qianqian will be your sister from now on. You two sisters must get along well with each other. Qingyu, you are the elder sister, a few months older than Qianqian. You should take good care of her and don't bring shame to the Marquisate."
A hint of surprise flashed across Ye Qingyu's eyes. Is Chen Yinyin going to marry into the Marquis' Mansion so soon?
She remembered that in her previous life, Lord Ye was always bothered by the reputation of the Duke's Mansion and herself. It was not until three years after her mother's death that he married Chen Yinyin, and it was after she married Shen Mingxiu.
It seems that after breaking up with the Duke's Mansion, Lord Ye has planned to marry his sweetheart early and give Lu Qianqian an identity.
Ye Qingyu didn't show any surprise or unhappiness, her expression was calm, "Really? My mother has been dead for two years. As a daughter, I'm naturally happy for my father to have a close friend by his side."
Ye Qingyu's attitude surprised both the old lady and Chen Yinyin. They thought she would definitely object, and even if she didn't dare to object, she would still be unhappy. Now she seemed so indifferent. Did she really want someone to take care of Lord Ye?
Lu Qianqian smiled thoughtfully, "Big sister, please give me more guidance in the future."
Ye Qingyu smiled calmly, "It's not like I can teach you anything. If there's anything I don't understand, I'll definitely tell you everything."
"Grandma, I have something else to do in the yard, so Qingyu will take her leave first."
Ye Qingyu brought Xia Wanyue back to Wanyan Pavilion. Xia Wanyue thought Ye Qingyu must be upset and was just pretending not to care. She spoke softly to comfort her, "Qingyu, your father will be able to take better care of you after marrying a second wife. You don't have to be sad."
Ye Qingyu smiled faintly and said, "Sister Xia, I'm really not unhappy. On the contrary, I'm very happy that someone can take care of my father. As a daughter, I'm naturally happy for my father. After all, I'm going to get married in the future.
My mother passed away, and my cousin knows my father very well. She and my father were childhood sweethearts, so they should have a good relationship. With my stepmother taking care of my father, I can feel at ease when I get married."
The two returned to Wanyan Pavilion. Nianchun served tea and snacks. Ye Qingyu smiled and asked, "I was in a hurry yesterday and didn't have time to ask where you are from or if you have any family in Kyoto. If I can help in any way, I will do my best to help."
Xia Wanyue lowered her head and said, "My family is in Yizhou. We used to run a small business, but we were robbed. My father and mother were killed by thieves. I was away from home at the time and wanted to hide from them, so I came to Kyoto.
An aunt of mine runs a business in Kyoto, but unexpectedly, her family has already moved away, and I don’t know what to do.”
Xia Wanyue looked pitiful. Ye Qingyu held her hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, Sister Xia. If you still want to do business, I can help you. If you want to find a good family to marry into, I can also ask my aunt to help find a good family. Since you are our family's savior, I will never let you live on the streets."
Xia Wanyue looked at Ye Qingyu with gratitude on her face. After they chatted for a while, Ye Qingyu took Xia Wanyue out shopping to help her understand the customs and culture of Kyoto.
Lunch was arranged at Wanfu Restaurant. Today, Wanfu Restaurant was particularly lively. The owner of the restaurant started a bet on which young man would be able to pass the imperial examination this year. Ye Qingyu took a look and saw that many people were betting that her third cousin would win the first place in the imperial examination.
Ye Qingyu called Wanqiu over, took out five hundred taels of silver, and put the pressure on her cousin.
"Miss Ye is quite confident. Aren't you afraid that your cousin will betray you and make you lose everything?"
A sarcastic voice with a sneer sounded in her ears. Ye Qingyu turned her head and saw Zhao Qianxue looking at her with a sneer on her face. Several young ladies gathered around her.
Zhao Qianxue felt so angry when she saw Ye Qingyu's beautiful face. If it weren't for her, her reputation would be completely ruined and the Fourth Prince would no longer pay attention to her. The noble families looked down on her family, so how could she possibly look down on Ye Qingyu? She even wished that Gu Huaizhi would fail the exam.
Ye Qingyu raised her eyebrows, not taking Zhao Qianxue's provocation seriously. She looked at Princess Yongjia standing in front of her and saluted with a smile, "Greetings, Princess. Are you ladies out for a stroll? The Wanfu Restaurant is really bustling today."
Princess Yongjia smiled and said, "Qingyu is here to buy lucky numbers for the Third Young Master as well? We all come here to buy lucky numbers for our relatives and friends, hoping for good luck."
Xia Wanyue beside her suddenly took a half step back, lowered her head and said nothing. Ye Qingyu sensitively realized that there seemed to be someone Xia Wanyue knew among this group of young ladies.
Or is there someone behind Xia Wanyue?
Ye Qingyu's relaxed mood suddenly darkened. She looked at the young ladies in front of her with a somewhat inquiring look. She smiled and said, "My lord, you are joking. I really didn't know this was happening. I took people shopping today and came here for lunch. It really was a coincidence."
"By the way, Sister Xia, this is Princess Yongjia. Come and meet the princess and all the young ladies." Ye Qingyu pulled Xia Wanyue over and introduced her to the young ladies from various families.
Xia Wanyue raised her head and took a quick glance, then hurriedly lowered her head and saluted fearfully, "I greet Her Highness the Princess and all the young ladies."
Princess Yongjia smiled gently and said, "Miss Xia, there's no need to be so polite."
Zhao Qianxue sneered and said sarcastically, "Ye Qingyu, this is another poor relative of yours. I really want to tell you the truth. You look so unpresentable."
Being repeatedly harassed, even the best temper was tempered. Ye Qingyu narrowed her eyes slightly, "Miss Zhao, you can't worry about this. You should pay more attention to yourself. Miss Zhao's behavior today is more like something that is not worthy of public appearance."
