In Ye's Mansion, Concubine Qiao was severely punished by the old lady, while Ye Yujiao was locked up, making the mansion much quieter.
Inside the Fragrant Garden, it was especially quiet when Lady Wen and Ye Yuning left.
With the support of a servant girl, Concubine Su returned from Pingjing garden with a step. There was a purple silk flower on her black hair that was tied up like clouds, and on her bright yellow dress, there were fine pomegranate flowers embroidered.
Firstly, Concubine Su gave birth to a son and a daughter. Secondly, Concubine Su was able to please the old lady.
The Fragrant Garden was only slightly smaller than the Pingjing garden. There were flowers and trees growing all around, especially outside the main house. Every time Concubine Su passed by this place, she would stop for a moment, the same thing happening today.
Seeing her happy expression, the maidservant was in a good mood, and could not help but ask, "Aunt, First Wife is not here, do you want to go in and take a look?"
Concubine Su squinted, and casted a sidelong glance at her: "Idiot! The First Wife was not here, but didn't the courtyard still have her trusted servants? "Why should I go in now?" With Pill Kou's index finger pressing down on the servant girl's forehead, Concubine Su let out a cold snort.
Concubine Su was also a woman from a good family, and her father was an Elementary Scholar.
When the old lady had picked a concubine for the lord, the reason Concubine Su had been able to stand out amongst the other girls was because she looked docile and gentle. The reason the Great Elder agreed to it was because her family was poor and she came from a small family, so she wouldn't argue with Lady Wen.
However, be it the old mistress or the old master, they were both wrong. Only she knew Concubine Su's true purpose.
Among them, plundering the Wen Family's inheritance was the most important. Stopping outside the main house for a while, the corner of Concubine Su's lips slightly raised.
"One day, this place will be mine!"
As he supported the servant girl's arm back to his own courtyard, just as Concubine Su was resting, he heard the servant girl reporting to the Eleventh Miss.
The little girl was dressed in a pink brocade dress and had a pair of bun on her head. She also had two strings of pink pearls on her head. This was the illegitimate daughter that Concubine Su was born with, the Eleventh Miss Ye Yuling of the Ye Family.
Upon seeing Ye Yuling, Concubine Su's face revealed a smile, she opened her arms wide, and immediately, Ye Yuling threw herself into Concubine Su's embrace.
"Aunt hasn't come to see me in the past few days, could it be that you don't miss me at all?" Ye Yuling threw himself into Concubine Su's embrace and acted coquettishly.
Concubine Su fondled her head lovingly and said gently, "I have something to attend to these few days …" What's wrong? Was it the servant girl that did not serve you well? "
Ye Yuling shook her head: "I knew that the Madam wasn't here today, which was why I came to visit the Aunt."
Concubine Su entered the door two years after she was born, and eight months after she entered the door, she gave birth to Ye Yuling. It was also because of this that Concubine Su was able to consolidate her position in the Ye Family. It was probably because of this, that Concubine Su doted on her daughter Ye Yuling even more than her son.
And Ye Yuling was only ten years old this year, so she was naturally more intimate to her mother than her first mother.
The mother and daughter spoke for a while, then Ye Yuling suddenly thought of something. She pulled up her sleeves to reveal the golden cushu on her arm, "Aunt, this was given to me by my uncle's order a few days ago. Take a look!"
"Cousin?" Concubine Su's eyes flashed with a hint of happiness.
"Hm!" My uncle also said that he would give me something even better when I get my birthday present! " Ye Yuling giggled, "Uncle really dotes on me, even father doesn't treat me that well!"
The moment Ye Yuling said this, Concubine Su's expression changed. She gripped Jin Chuan tightly as her expression became extremely complicated.
"Leng'Er, you can't bring this up again in the future! Your father will naturally treat you well, and no one can replace him! "
Ye Yuling curled her lips: "It's fine if Father treats me like this, but compared to Third Sister, I'm not that bad." With that, Ye Yuling took Jin Hu back into her hands with a look of joy on her face.
This was a normal occurrence in a mansion, after all, Ye Yuning was the direct descendant of the family, and Ye Yuling was born from a concubine, so no matter who it was, they would love the legitimate daughter more, and if not, wouldn't they be unjustly accused?
Only, Concubine Su did not think this way.
When he thought about how Ye Yuning had such an exquisite piece of jewelry and how his own daughter was so fond of just a single Jin Shushu, Concubine Su's face revealed a cold smile. In his heart, he became even more determined to obtain the Wen Family's inheritance.
After coaxing Ye Yuling for a while, until she was tired, Concubine Su then ordered someone to bring her to her room to rest, before calling her maids.
"Is the arrangement for the Putuo Temple area complete?"
The maidservant nodded her head, "Aunt, don't worry. They are all outsiders who have spent money to hire us. No one will ever find out who we are."
Holding the golden bracelet on his wrist, Concubine Su's eyes flashed with a cold light, "I originally thought that I wouldn't get the chance, but who would have thought that Lady Wen would go to Putuo Temple to burn some incense at this time, and it gave me the chance to do so! At that time, no matter which one of them is in trouble, it will be a hundred miles away from me without any harm. "
Concubine Su's cold expression caused people to shudder.
… ….
Just as Lady Wen was in the midst of discussing matters with Reverend Fang, Ye Yuning happened to hear the last few sentences when she walked in the door.
"The First Wife and the Old Mistress were kind and merciful. A few days ago, there was a thunderstorm and the bell-drum tower was struck by lightning, causing half of it to collapse … "This old monk is worrying about how to rest …"
"There's actually such a thing?" Are all the monks in the temple safe? No one was injured? " Lady Wen asked with concern.
"Fortunately, no one was injured. When the villagers came to pay their respects, they did a lot of good."
"If that's the case, then I'll donate an additional five hundred silver taels this time. Reverend, please take care of the Zhong Gu Tower properly and don't let anything similar happen again."
As Lady Wen was speaking, she heard a cough. She turned her head and saw his daughter pacing in from outside the hall, and she was looking at him with a smile.
"Mother, did Young Master Shen leave?"
"Young Master Shen has gone to the west wing car to rest. He will return with us tomorrow." Lady Wen laughed and said, he did not feel that there was anything wrong with his idea.
Ye Yuning's smile froze, and she secretly cursed in her heart. She went forward and grabbed Lady Wen's arm, "Mother wants to donate the fragrant oil to Putuo Temple? Is five hundred silver too much? "
Since Ye Yuning had married into the Duke of Pingjiang Palace in her previous life, as the mistress, naturally, for a period of time. However, even if it was the Duke of Pingjiang Mansion, the money they gave the Hall of State in the capital only amounted to 600 taels of silver every year. It did not make sense for a Ye's Mansion to donate five hundred kilometers within the Putuo Temple. It was not that she was unwilling to part with the money, but she was afraid that Lady Wen would be tricked.
