And continued to say, "Madam Ye, you shouldn’t bla for speaking out of turn, after all, she’s a young lady, and now her reputation is gone. It might be difficult for her to be matched for marriage in the future. If Young Master Ye has intentions, you shouldn’t stop him. We won, especially as an official’s wife, should be more forgiving."
"Our Ye Family’s gossip has spread everywhere?" Yang Chuxia’s tone was very cold, then she added, "I wonder what Madam Zhou has heard exactly?"
Seeing her expression turn slightly cold, Madam Zhou was almost frightened.
But after steadying her mind, she continued, "Everyone is saying that this cousin of the Ye Family must have so arrangent with Lord Ye, otherwise, how could a girl of fifteen or sixteen not have been spoken for in marriage? Don’t people always say cousins will eventually marry? Yet this cousin, I’ve heard, isn’t even a concubine to this day. They also say that Lord Ye must have had this intention for a long ti; otherwise, why would she still be living here? If she hasn’t been given status, it’s definitely because the lady of the house disagrees, suggesting Lord Ye is henpecked. This reputation of being henpecked, if it spreads, won’t do Lord Ye any good."
In the end, she seed to be considering Yang Chuxia’s situation, "You, you should also think about Lord Ye’s position."
Hearing this, Yang Chuxia looked at Madam Zhou with an odd expression.
Then, under Madam Zhou’s sowhat expectant gaze, she slapped the table with a smack, "Nonsense! Who is the shaless one constantly wagging their tongue about ? If I hear about it, I won’t just tear her mouth apart, but I’ll also send a couple of concubines to her husband. Since she’s so virtuous and generous, I’ll gladly send her a few mistresses, and she would surely be pleased. Not only that, but I’ll even arrange mistresses for her future son-in-law."
"Madam Ye, don’t be angry, people just think your family’s cousin is to be pitied, being a grown lady with no formal status..." Madam Zhou, seeing that Yang Chuxia was very angry, hurriedly explained, but her explanation made people even angrier.
However, before she could finish her words, a sowhat youthful yet lodious voice like an oriole’s sounded.
"Cousin-in-law, where am I pitiable?" The newcor entered gracefully, then seed displeased, "I am clearly a young girl, so why should my status even be a concern? I am a daughter of a wealthy family; ordinary people wouldn’t dare offer status."
The young girl sat down to one side, pouting sulkily.
anwhile, Yangyang, who had been watching with wide eyes, finding his mother’s anger amusing, hurriedly climbed down from the chair and ran to the young girl, "Cousin, Cousin!"
He stretched out his arms, clearly wanting the young girl to hold him.
"Linyu..."
Madam Zhou, who had just been giving a lengthy spiel, was now utterly stunned. This young girl was obviously still a child, so young, and exuding an air of nobility, clearly not from an ordinary household. Isn’t this Cao Lingling?
"Madam Ye, have you made a mistake? Lord Ye’s cousin, haven’t I seen her before? But she wasn’t like this. If you disagree, just say so; I’m simply passing on what I’ve heard after all, since it’s your family matter and you’re the decision-maker. But there is no need to randomly bring out a girl and pass her off as soone else."
Luo Linyu, who was already unhappy, grew even less pleased.
What is this woman even talking about? Does it seem like she’s not the cousin of her cousin anymore? Seen her before? Where has she seen her that she would forget?
"I say, Madam! Have you ever seen this young lady before?"
