Ye Yuning made Fei Xiu find a purse and put the bracelet inside. Ji Chenyu smiled as she kept the black bag. Suddenly, she saw the black bag hanging on Ye Yuning's waist with her sharp eyes.
"This bag is so exquisite! These fishes are vivid and lifelike, just like the real thing …. " Ji Chenyu's eyes lit up as she looked at Ye Yuning, "Can you give this to me? I really like it! "
"It's just a normal purse. The design on it was embroidered by me. Where's your delicacy?" Ye Yuning couldn't help but roll his eyes at her.
Ji Chenyu's possessions were not as simple as they seemed. Her bags were all made from Yun Jin and were embroidered with beautiful peonies with gold and silver threads.
Just this purse alone was worth ten taels of silver.
"Good little sister, you know I like fish the most, so why don't you give it to me? At most, I'll trade mine with you. " Ji Chenyu wrapped herself around Ye Yuning as she swung Ye Yuning's sleeves time after time.
Ye Yuning could only helplessly nod her head, "Forget it, I'll make you another. This bag is old, it's not appropriate to give it to you."
Ji Chenyu was overjoyed upon hearing this and hugged her, "Good Yu Ning, the next time you come to my house, I'll give you anything you want!"
Ye Yuning laughed at her joke, and extended her hand to scratch her waist. The two girls laughed so hard that they almost fell to the ground.
While they were talking, time quickly passed by. Not long later, Lady Wen sent someone to get two people to eat.
As tomorrow was the fifteenth day of the eighth month's Mid-Autumn Festival, the welcoming feast that was supposed to be prepared for Ye Shenghe was postponed to the evening of the next day.
Lady Wen had already ordered people to prepare a table of sumptuous dishes and set it in the main hall. Because of Ji Chenyu's presence, Concubine Su and the others did not appear well. Lady Wen had only called Ye Shenghe's two children.
On the round table, Ye Shenghe was seated at the head of the table. Lady Wen was seated to his right, you give me a dish later and I will pour you a cup of wine later.
and Ye Yuanjun had wanted to speak up several times, but they always stopped his with a "can't speak, can't speak".
After the meal, Lady Wen left Ji Chenyu to speak. Ji Chenyu was very obedient in front of Lady Wen, and she started to like her more and more.
"It's a pity that I don't have a son. Otherwise, how great would it be to invite you back to be my daughter-in-law." Lady Wen joked.
Ji Chenyu was embarrassed, her face flushed red, "Aunt is laughing at me!"
Lady Wen smiled but did not speak. She knew in her heart that with Ji Chenyu's appearance, the Ji Family would definitely send her to the high gates.
Sighing to himself, Lady Wen pulled Ji Chenyu's hand and said gently, "Coming to Aunt's place is just like coming to your own home, Yu Ning also treats you as her own sister, come over and play when you have time."
Ji Chenyu nodded.
Just as he was speaking, a gentle voice came from the outside, "Madam, why do you say that? Didn't Third Miss have a sister? Why should I recognize outsiders as my sisters? "
Ye Yuning raised her head, only to see Concubine Su walking in with her waist twisted.
"What are you doing here now?" Lady Wen's smile was faint, but her tone was still very gentle.
Ye Yuning couldn't help but frown. Concubine Su was obviously here to seduce Father.
Just as expected, she heard Concubine Su say: "I came to look for old master because I was in a hurry, so I didn't greet him in advance.
The first day that Ye Shenghe returned, she came to steal from him, and clearly did not place him in his eyes. Even though Lady Wen had a gentle temper, she could not help but be angry.
Concubine Su, however, did not seem to see the expression on everyone's faces. She gently bowed and said, "It's rare for old master to return home, but my lady is not feeling well. Tonight, why don't you let me serve old master! Madam, please take good care of your illness. "
Concubine Su's smile was like a flower, but the words she said were extremely arrogant. How could a concubine speak to the matriarch in such a manner in front of outsiders?
If it wasn't for the fact that Lady Wen was sick, she would definitely get up and teach this arrogant concubine a lesson, letting her know what the Ye's Mansion's matriarchs were like.
Ji Chenyu's eyes widened in shock. She could not help but turn and look at Ye Yuning, obviously stunned by the sudden Concubine Su who barged in. She did not know much about the battle for the throne of the Ye's Mansion. She did not expect that she would be able to witness it with her own eyes under such circumstances.
It had to be known that Ji Chenyu was an outsider, so the so-called "home cannot be seen to the outside world", but Concubine Su did not care about matters of face at all. If this matter were to spread, they would say how useless the matriarch of the long room was, being suppressed to such a state by an aunt.
Ye Yuning deeply furrowed her brows, fury suppressing in her eyes. It was just that Concubine Su was her father's concubine, now that her mother was in front of her, she couldn't help but scold Concubine Su past her mother.
Seeing Lady Wen not saying anything, Concubine Su was secretly pleased in her heart. She gently coughed and said, "The old mistress called me over earlier, and told me to take good care of the old master."
Hearing the two words "Old Mistress", Lady Wen's body froze, a look of hesitation flashed past her eyes, but she nodded her head in the end, "In a while, I will send someone to inform Old Master, you can go back first."
Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Concubine Su pursed his lips and smiled, then casually left.
She didn't want to blow the matter up, she only wanted to drag the old master over. Now, no matter how dignified a matriarch who was bedridden was, she was not as attractive as this beautiful and adorable aunt of hers.
"Mom, why are you indulging her so much?" couldn't help but say this the moment Concubine Su left.
In the manor, she was the First Wife of a long room. On the surface, she looked impressive and could handle everything properly, but people who were slightly knowledgeable in the manor could see everything clearly. The entire Ye family was under the control of the Old Mistress.
No matter whose room he stayed in at night, the madame would personally call for him. Under such circumstances, even if Lady Wen wanted the old master to stay in his own room, he would not be able to give any reasons.
Sighing dejectedly, Lady Wen closed her eyes and waved at the two of them, "I am tired, you two can go back and rest! "Tomorrow, if you have time, come back and see mom again."
Ye Yuning was extremely furious, but seeing that Lady Wen was like that, she suppressed the anger in her heart and pulled Ji Chenyu away.
The two of them walked back to the small courtyard in silence.
