Ye Yuqing was looking at her sleeping son with a gentle face.
I heard that a message from my parents' family had arrived, and I asked my maid to personally guard the child.
She straightened her clothes and went to the corner door at the back.
Although Yulang had told her a long time ago that people coming to the family could go through the front door in the future, she did not agree.
Firstly, she didn’t want to be criticized, and it was also because she didn’t want others to pick on her.
Since she entered the Hou Mansion, she has been careful in everything, walking on thin ice every step of the way.
It wasn't until she gave birth to her son that she finally gained a firm footing.
Thinking of Lin Meiyun in the main courtyard, she smiled disdainfully.
Or is she the young lady from the Hou Mansion? You still want to fight her with your modest skills? It's really overestimating one's abilities.
If it weren't for the fear that the Yongping Marquis Mansion would cause trouble for Yulang, that bitch would have been killed in one body and two in the year before last.
She walked to the small door at the back and asked the maid to take a handful of copper coins to the servant who was watching the door. She then said politely, "Thank you for your hard work, Brother Zhang."
"Auntie, you're welcome. This is what a villain should do."
The servant invited her to a nearby hut and then left.
Ye Mingxiang and Ye Daqing were sitting inside drinking tea. When they saw her coming in, they immediately put down the tea cups in their hands.
"Third uncle, brother, why are you here? Is there something going on in the shop?" Ye Yuqing asked.
Ye Mingxiang glanced at the door and saw that the guy guarding the door was a little far away, so he whispered: "Sister, I want to tell you something, don't be too surprised."
"Brother, what's going on? You look mysterious." Ye Yuqing joked with him with a smile.
She is living a comfortable life now, and her business is getting bigger and bigger.
Everything I see now is pleasing to my eyes, my tone of voice is much gentler than before, and I no longer care about my mother-in-law's family.
Even the servants in the mansion praised Aunt Ye for her generous spending and friendly treatment.
Now Ye Yuqing can be said to be very proud of herself, with everyone's style in every move and smile. She is no longer the country girl in Ye's village.
Last time Han Chengyu's classmates came to the house, they all mistaken her for the real wife.
Ye Mingxiang stopped showing off and lowered his voice: "Sister, do you still remember Tong Yatou's sick little husband?"
Ye Yuqing had almost forgotten Ye Yutong and his family. Now when I suddenly heard Ye Mingxiang mention it, I remembered that there was such a person, "Remember, what happened to him?"
Ye Yuqing frowned, "Did they also come to the capital?"
Ye Daqing and Ye Mingxiang nodded, "Not only have they come to the capital, but Tong Yatou's young husband is also the prince who came to the city today."
Ye Yuqing stared at the two of them blankly, opening her mouth for a long time without making a sound.
"Sister, are you okay?" Ye Mingxiang looked at her nervously.
Ever since Ye Yuqing married into Pingyuan Houfu, no matter what happened, the Ye family would come to her to discuss and make decisions. It can be said that she is now the backbone of the family.
Ye Yuqing reacted and murmured to herself: "That sick young man is actually the prince?"
She gritted her teeth in hatred and said every word with a sullen face: "That dead girl is lucky. The prince who lives among the people was picked up by her to make her happy."
"Yes, who would have thought that the young man who was sick and about to die would actually be the current prince."
"No, this didn't happen in my previous life." Ye Yuqing felt excited when she thought about the outcome of her uncle's family in her previous life.
Could it be that that dead girl has also been reborn?
Then she shook her head again. Ye Yutong probably wasn't reborn.
Maybe it was because of marrying the prince that the fate of their family changed.
Ye Daqing thought he heard wrongly and asked doubtfully: "Yuqing, what did you just say? What about the previous life?"
Only then did Ye Yuqing realize that she had just spilled the beans.
She bit the tip of her tongue and pretended to smile calmly: "I mean, Tongtong is so lucky. I don't know how many good things she did in her previous life, so that His Highness the Crown Prince can help her celebrate."
Afraid of saying too much and making the two of them suspicious, she quickly changed the subject, "Third uncle, eldest brother, does grandpa know? Did the old man tell me what to do?"
Ye Mingxiang said: "I asked you to take some time to go back."
Ye Yuqing knew that this matter could not be delayed and had to think of a way as soon as possible.
She said to the two of them: "Third uncle, eldest brother, without further ado, I will go back and explain, and we will leave immediately."
Ye Yuqing was pretending to be worried and walked in a hurry. She almost bumped into Lin Meiyun's dowry nanny on the way.
The little maid behind her immediately stepped forward and scolded her, "You don't have eyesight. If you touch my aunt, the second young master will not spare you."
The grandma didn't even look at them, and walked directly between the two of them, with a touch of disdain on her face.
Ye Yuqing saw that although she didn't say anything, her face was full of disapproval, and anger suddenly rose in her heart.
But she still endured it and prepared to settle the accounts with their master and servant together.
But the maid behind her was a little angry, "Auntie, are you just letting her go like this?"
Ye Yuqing waved her hand pretending to be generous, "Forget it, you didn't meet me either. This nanny must be in a bad mood, so she's so unruly. Don't blame her."
The maid glared at the aunt's back and muttered: "I will tell the young master tonight that a servant is so arrogant after he bumped into my aunt. It's really arrogant."
Ye Yuqing smiled good-naturedly, but did not stop the maid from complaining to Han Chengyu.
She has always kept a low profile in the Hou Mansion in the past few years, and she has never been arrogant even if she is favored.
The reason why she didn't stop the maid from provoking Lin Meiyun just now was because she wanted to test the main wife's bottom line.
The year before last, Lin Meiyun's father, Lin Houye, fell from his horse and died a few days later.
Last year, her third brother contracted another illness and passed away, and the Yongping Marquis Mansion no longer had its former glory.
Even the Prince of Pingyuan didn't value this in-law that much, and Lin Meiyun was no longer the favorite of the family.
When her father died the year before last, she was so sad that she aborted the male fetus that had formed in her belly, and she was never able to get pregnant.
Yulang has not given birth to a boy or a girl in the past few years, and Mrs. Hou has long had a problem with her.
Maybe she knows she won't be welcomed, so she doesn't go out of the yard much now.
But Ye Yuqing couldn't let her occupy that position anymore, even though Yulang hadn't been to her room for a long time.
But if she didn't get rid of Lin Meiyun, her son would only be a bastard, which she couldn't bear.
So we must find a way to force that bitch Lin Meiyun out.
When the time comes when she becomes irrational and does something crazy like the last miscarriage, Mrs. Hou and Yu Lang will hate her even more.
When the time comes to get rid of her without anyone noticing, and then disguise her death as an accident, no one will doubt her.
Ye Yuqing was secretly happy when she thought of this.
But then she remembered that Ye Yutong had become the crown princess, and her heart ached with jealousy.
Why wasn't she the one who met the prince back then? Now that bitch is really cheap.
By the time the three of them reached the street, Li Yunze and Ye Yutong's team had already passed by.
But the pedestrians on the road refused to disperse for a long time, and the people excitedly talked about the majesty of His Highness the Crown Prince and the amiability of the Crown Princess.
The younger daughter-in-law and older girls were also there talking shyly.
Ye Yuqing listened for a while and seemed to be discussing the heroic appearance of those generals.
The three of them walked back in silence while listening to the praises of the people.
Li Yunze and Ye Yutong did not enter the palace. They temporarily stayed in a five-door courtyard.
The palace staff is complicated, and Ye Yutong is ready to replace them all with his own people, otherwise she and Ping An will not be able to sleep peacefully.
As for the maids and eunuchs in the palace, if they want to go home, they can take the severance money and leave on their own.
If they don't want to go back or have nowhere to go, arrange for them to work in the factory. The palace won't let them stay anyway.
"Your Highness, Concubine, the yard is ready. You go and have a rest." The two maids said respectfully.
Ye Yutong nodded, "I understand, let's all go down. There is no need to keep anyone in the courtyard. Your Highness and I don't like people waiting close to us. I won't announce that you don't need to come in from now on."
"Yes, concubine," the two quietly retreated.
Ye Yutong exhaled before slumping down comfortably on the chair.
Li Yunze glanced at her with a smile, then dragged her to the backyard, "Go and have a rest. There are still many things to do in the afternoon."
"Yeah." Ye Yutong lay on his back.
Li Yunze had no choice but to carry her on his back.
This yard was secretly purchased by Uncle Lin before.
The Lin Mansion was taken back by Li Yunkai when he came to power, and seemed to be given to the current Minister of Dali Temple.
