The old lady shook her head and said magnanimously, "It's nothing. It doesn't matter whether the girl goes out or not."

"Xue'er, raise your head and let the old lady take a look." Madame Zhao, who was at the side, spoke up enthusiastically.

Only then did Zhao Ruxue slowly raise her head. However, Ye Jinsu noticed that her hand was still tightly grasping her handkerchief as if she was nervous.

Zhao Ruxue was not bad looking, but she could not be considered to be that good-looking. One could only say that she had a dignified appearance. He was indeed being a bit too cautious, but a bit too timid.

Ye Jinxiu looked at him for a while but did not say a word.

The old lady was rather satisfied with her appearance.

Unlike the Xie Clan, he had a fox-like appearance.

It was just that he was a bit timid.

Seeing that she was so timid, the old lady didn't want her to talk much. She only chatted with Madame Zhao for a bit. From start to finish, Zhao Ruxue didn't utter a single word. Ye Jinsu pondered over her for a moment, but it didn't seem like she was unwilling.

It should be pure cowardice.

If she were to marry into this family, Ye Jingru would have returned by then. At that time, Ye JinRu would be in a lot of trouble.

However, it wasn't her turn to speak up. She was acting as a foil.

Madame Zhao was someone who knew how to speak. She chatted with the old lady for a long time, but she was still able to speak in harmony. Master Zhao was a lot worse than Ye Zheng at government affairs. He was also very careful in front of Ye Zheng, but Ye Zheng was not dissatisfied.

At the end of their conversation, they had reached the halfway mark.

The Old Granny prepared lunch in the banquet hall. She thought that it was time, so she purposely found an opportunity to let Zhao Ruxue and Ye Zhenzheng get along alone.

Ye Jinsu left at the right time to take a walk and felt bored.

It was not her turn to speak, she was just passing through the hall. Ye Jinsu was a bit bored by the flattery of the two families.

She wondered when she had slipped away.

After circling the garden a few times, Ye Jinsu sat on the edge of the pond to feed the fish. It hadn't snowed in the past few days, but there was still ice floating in the artificial lake. Ye Jinsu could only see a few fish scattered about.

As she was feeding, Ye Jinsu saw Zhao Ruxue wandering around the back garden.

He seemed to be lost.

Ye Jinsu stood up and walked towards her, "Isn't Miss Zhao with my father?"

Zhao Ruxue was startled for a moment. When she turned her head to look at Ye Jinsu, she quickly lowered her head and bowed.

"I had a few words with Lord Ye and then went to find Mother. In the end, you got lost in this garden and got Miss Ye to watch a joke. "

Ye Jinsu smiled at her for a moment.

Although he was timid, he had never met with any mishaps. At first, the old lady didn't like her, but in the end, other than her being a bit timid, she still attracted the old lady's attention.

"I'll take you out. Grandmother should be in the banquet hall with Madame Zhao." She walked forward to lead the way.

There was still a long way to go from here to the banquet hall. Ye Jinsu felt it was too awkward not to talk, so she took the initiative to start a conversation, "I heard that Miss Zhao is kind and kind, especially when it comes to embroidery?"

Zhao Ruxue slightly lowered her head but still did not dare to raise her head. She responded in a low voice, "It's just some mediocre martial arts. Miss Ye has gone overboard."

Ye Jinsu smiled, "How can it be called 'Weichi'? I heard that there was a young lady who requested Miss Zhao's embroidery."

Ye Jinsu was talking about what happened three years ago.

Back then, a scholar who came from a foreign land had specially spent a thousand gold to buy Zhao Ruxue's embroidery. After that, a lot of madams came to learn embroidery. At that time, she was quite popular in the Qing River.

After that, it also gradually faded.

She thought that no one in the capital knew about this. She didn't expect Ye Jinsu to actually know about it.

In fact, Ye Jinsu knew about this from Aunt Shui Sang. The old lady had sent people to investigate the Zhao Family, and even her hometown. It could be said that she was very meticulous.

"Miss Ye, you are flattering me. Compared to a talented girl like Miss Ye, I am not even worth mentioning." Zhao Ruxue quickly spoke up. The cautious look on her face made Ye Jinsu seem as if she wanted to eat her.

He had heard that Zhao Ruxue had a direct descendent right in front of her. Zhao Ruxue was behind her, begging for a living, so he had to be careful with his tail between his legs.

This made her feel somewhat helpless.

"Don't say that. When you marry over, I'll have to call you mother." Ye Jinsu smiled helplessly, as if she wanted to let her feel more at ease.

Zhao Ruxue didn't say anything, probably feeling awkward.

Ye Jinsu turned around and glanced at her, "Don't tell me you don't want to marry my father?"

Zhao Ruxue hurriedly shook her head and denied it, "No, I'm not. It is my fortune to be able to marry Lord Ye. "

She actually knew it very well. Although this Lord Ye is a bit old, as long as she marries over, she will be the matriarch of the Ye family. The Ye Clan was a high ranked official, so her status would skyrocket.

This was her chance as a concubine.

Furthermore, she was not a difficult person to get along with when she saw Lord Ye just now.

Thus, she was not dissatisfied with this marriage.

Ye Jinsu looked at her for a moment and understood that she truly felt this way. After knowing her thoughts, Ye Jinsu sighed again.

"Do you know that I have a sister?" Ye Jinsu asked.

Zhao Ruxue nodded. "Yes."

But I didn't see him today.

"Her birth mother died not long ago. If you marry her, she might not like you."

"You know what I mean, don't you?" Ye Jinsu asked gently.

She had made it clear enough, Zhao Ruxue should understand.

Zhao Ruxue had stayed in the mansion for more than ten years. The small mansion and the large mansion were all ordinary matters. She could understand the meaning behind Ye Jinsu's words. She knew that Ye Jinsu was reminding her.

However, she had already figured this out a long time ago.

Whichever family she married to, there would be internal affairs.

She was only the daughter of a small official. If she were to marry an ordinary person, she would probably only be able to be a concubine.

It would be the time to be someone's slave. No matter what, she was still a matriarch of the Ye family, and the matriarch of the family of ministers.

Even if that Second Miss disliked him, at least she was not a bad person. The old lady seemed to like her, so she shouldn't feel too bad about her future here.

"Ru Xue understands, but Ru Xue has already thought it through." Zhao Ruxue suddenly stopped and said. She was no longer young and had a lot of thoughts. "Lord Ye is a good person. I believe he will treat me well."

Ye Jinsu looked at her blankly and smiled.

"That's good."

She had said all that she needed to say. She only hoped that Zhao Ruxue would be mentally prepared.

She was a good girl, so she wouldn't be harmed by Ye Jinru and Ye Zhenzi.

"The banquet hall is right in front, let's go in together." Ye Jinsu said with a smile as he led Zhao Ruxue to the front. They had just chatted for a bit when Zhao Ruxue slightly loosened her grip on her.

Now that he saw everyone, he became even more cautious.

The old lady, on the other hand, took in the changes in her appearance and glanced at Ye Jinsu.
