On the way back to the Fragrant Garden, Ye Yuning did not speak a word.
Fei Xiu lowered her head and followed behind her. She knew that his young miss was not in a good mood, and wanted to advise her against it, but there was no way.
Although Ye Yuning knew that the Old Mistress only cared about the Ye Family's gains and losses, and did not really care about him, she still could not help but be disappointed.
Using the Ye Family and father's future as an excuse, you want me to curry favor with Shen Yunxing? Ye Yuning sneered in her heart, she would never do something like this. If she hadn't promised Shen Yunxing in advance, she really wanted to go back on her word at this moment.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Yuning looked at the grass and trees in the garden, took a deep breath and calmed her heart.
"Miss, do you want to go to the Madam first, or go straight back to the courtyard?" Fei Xiu asked carefully.
Ye Yuning raised her head and looked at the sky, and said: "Let's go to Mother's place!"
The two of them walked straight ahead, passing through the veranda and arriving at the main house of the Fragrant Garden. When Lady Wen woke up at noon and combed her hair by Nanny Liu, although his expression was pale, it was much better.
Ye Yuning smiled as she walked to her side. She intimately rubbed Lady Wen's arm and called out "Mother".
Lady Wen touched the top of her head and said gently: "What's wrong? Didn't you go to the incense burner? "
"In this family, only mother is sincere to me." Ye Yuning mumbled as he wrapped his arms around Lady Wen's waist.
Lady Wen glanced at Fei Xiu and thought, "Nonsense, aside from your mother, there's also your father! What's the matter with you, child? Who let you down? "Tell mother, mother will avenge you!"
Ye Yuning shook her head: "No one has angered me, I'm just missing my father. Mother, when will Father come back? "
"We should be back around the fifteenth of the eighth month." The moment Ye Shenghe was mentioned, his eyes became even gentler as his brows furrowed with a smile.
"It's not easy for your father to be away. He can only come back every year during the middle of autumn or during the new year." But the three years are almost up. After this year, we might be able to reunite. "
Ye Yuning raised her head in surprise.
His father, Ye Shenghe, was an official in a remote area. His official position was not high, and his achievements in the past few years were mediocre. It was already the third year since he was transferred from Pingzhou to Xuzhou. If he could clear up relations after entering the capital next year, he might be able to stay in the capital and become a fourth or fifth grade official.
When that happened, his family would be able to follow him to the capital.
Ye Yuning remembered that because of her in her previous life, his father had been impeached and had no choice but to stay. She originally thought that three years would be enough, but who would have thought that she would be harmed by a traitor.
If not for the fact that he wanted to see her off to marriage, his father would not have hurried back to the Yin Zhou and be killed by them. Thinking about it, Ye Yuning's eyes flashed with a cold light.
From what he could remember, this year, his father had indeed returned to Ye's Mansion one day before Mid-Autumn and had even brought back a lot of gifts. Unfortunately, those precious gifts were not able to move the hearts of those with malicious hearts in the slightest.
Shaking his head, he threw all these messy memories aside temporarily as Ye Yuning told Lady Wen about going out to play in three days. Lady Wen was extremely happy as she held Ye Yuning's hand to discuss the things that they had put on that day.
Ye Yuning didn't want to ruin her mother's mood, so she didn't mention anything about the madame. Ye Yuning accompanied him for a full two hours before returning to her own residence.
Upon entering, Ye Yuning asked the servant to bring a brush, ink and paper, and wrote an invitation for Qin Du'er.
The Qin Residence was located in the south of Yin Zhou City and had a rather large and rich mansion. Qin Du'er was also known as the picturesque deity, an expert in zither, chess and painting, a person with a pure and innocent personality and an extremely high reputation in the Yin Zhou.
There were a lot of people like Ye Yujiao who hated her.
Very quickly, Qin Du'er replied to the letter, stating that she would definitely attend the meeting three days later.
Time flew by, and three days later, in the morning, Ye Yuning woke up early to wash up and dress up.
Fei Xiu gave her a bun made of flowing clouds, with a gold hairpin stuck in the middle of it. Around the bun was a tiny flower fur, a pair of coral pearl earrings hung from her ears, and on each of her wrists she wore a gold jade bracelet.
She was wearing a light purple dress, embroidered with gold and silver to create a plum blossom. On her upper body, she was wearing a dress made out of butterflies and flowers. She looked very pretty and elegant.
Ye Yuning sized herself up from the copper mirror. She knew that her facial features could not be considered gorgeous, but her current dressing allowed her to compare with the other young misses in the palace.
"Our young mistress is truly a natural born beauty." Bai Lan flattered and praised them from the side.
Ye Yuning regained her senses, pursed her lips into a smile, and then received the bag from Fei Xiu and tied it up.
"Eh? Miss, I've never seen this bag before, did someone make it recently? " Bai Lan, with her sharp eyes, could not help but ask when she saw the shape of the purse.
Ye Yuning smiled slightly: "I'll do it myself."
After she finished speaking, she didn't say anymore and walked out of the room with Fei Xiu. She had been by Ye Yuning's side for quite a while, but had never seen her move a needle and thread before.
From what Fei Qing said, when she was in the Cloud Region, she doted on her and never forced her to do anything because she didn't want to learn from him. Ye Yuning's needlework was very poor, it was simply too shameful.
However, the golden fish embroidered on the bag were vivid and lifelike, especially that pair of eyeballs. It was as if they were real. Bai Lan thought it was strange, but she did not dare ask too much as she sent Ye Yuning back to her room. Fei Qing was still recuperating from her injuries, so she followed the young miss out. The house was under the watch of Bai Lan and Bai Yi.
The place Shen Yunxing asked them to go to was the Swallow Mountain outside the city.
A vermilion roof and a maroon body. Tassel hung from the top of the roof, adorned with small pearls. On the body of the car were carved beautiful patterns, all of them incomparably exquisite.
Ye Yuning's face was filled with surprise: This carriage ….
"Third Miss, this was arranged by the madame." The butler narrowed his eyes and smiled.
Ye Yuning understood in her heart, she nodded to the butler and was helped up the carriage. The coachman shouted, and the wheels began to move slowly, and the carriage moved forward.
Inside the carriage, Ye Yuning leaned on the golden silk pillow, a cold light flickering in her eyes.
"The madame really did think about it. This carriage was used by the madame in the past, but it has been put on hold since the Old Master left. I didn't think that the young lady would be allowed to ride in it today."
The interior of the car was very spacious. Besides the comfortable chairs, there were also a row of wooden shelves and a small red-mud stove. Fei Xiu opened the wooden shelves, and saw all kinds of snacks, tea set and water inside, she was even more surprised.
Ye Yuning glanced at it, and said: "This isn't something that the old lady would have thought of, but something that my mother ordered someone to prepare!"
Fei Xiu nodded her head, only Madam Ye would be so meticulous.
The carriage headed southeast. Not long later, they met the Qin family's carriage at the southern gate.
"Little Sister Ye!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Ye Yuning lifted the carriage's curtain and saw that inside the carriage, Qin Du'er had raised the carriage's curtain and was looking at him.
"Sister Qin, you came so early!"
Ye Yuning waved at her, smiling back.
