Evening Niang

Chapter 3

Huarui's wife was Xiao Xuan's mother, the current Emperor's eldest sister, and the current matriarch of the Xiao family. When she married into the Xiao family as a princess, the deceased Emperor granted her first-class wife and the Empress Dowager granted her the title Huarui. Since the First Elder Princess liked this title very much, she was addressed as Huarui's wife from the beginning to the end of her marriage.

Ye Nanxi frowned slightly. "Madam has just agreed to it?"

Auntie Wen's expression grew slightly dark. "I was not present then, but I guess that he had already agreed. Otherwise, he would not have gone back so quickly."

Ye Nanxi was silent for a moment before she said, "Why must they ask me to go back?"

Although it was not surprising that the Xiao family proposed to take her back, the Xiao family's decision was still surprising according to the current situation. According to common sense, at this time, the Xiao family should have sent her a divorce letter. How could a wife who had lost her virginity accept it? Was it to completely silence her? On that day, the man delivered poison to his wife, but the Xiao family thought that the poisoning failed because of her arrival. So they wanted to do it again and again. Did they have to do that again?

Aunt Wen looked at Ye Xiaoxi with some concern. Her lips moved, but she couldn't ask anything. Looking back on that day, it felt like a nightmare. Fortunately, she was not reconciled and offered a big price to let someone open the coffin. God knows how pitiful her daughter was. Her daughter was still alive, but she had only one breath left. Later, she was rescued easily. Then the old lady, the master, the ladies and others took turns to ask, but finally, they only got one sentence from her daughter, "I don't remember."

She didn't remember what had happened in the Xiao Family. She didn't remember whether the rumors were true or not. She didn't remember how she had taken the poison. She didn't remember anything about the Xiao Family except a few people.

No one in the Ye Family believed Ye Xiaoxi except Auntie Wen.

Her daughter knew that those rumors could not be true. According to the means of Madam Huarui, the Xiao family must have released the Xiao Family on purpose to restrain the Ye Family so that the Ye Family would not dare to seek the Xiao Family for Miss Ye's death. Therefore, all the hardships had to be borne by her daughter alone. She did not know how the three years after she got married lasted. It was poor that she had only been twenty years old, but she had such an ending.

It was because of the pressure of the Xiao Family that her daughter had to take poison and committed suicide!

She was blinded by lard. In those days, she actually felt that her daughter had a good home. She secretly felt proud for a few days, but she didn't expect that she almost lost her daughter. Auntie Wen sniffed and looked at Ye Xiaoxi and said, "Don't worry. We can't provoke the Xiao family, but we can hide forever!"

###Chapter3,Again

However, Auntie Wen had underestimated the Xiao family's determination for this matter. She wanted Ye Nanxi to hide, but the Xiao family did not give her a chance. On the morning of the second day, Ye Nanxi was about to go to bed and rest for a while when she heard that the Xiao family had sent someone again. However, this time, they did not want to see her, but wanted to see old madam Ye.

"Who is coming? Or is it the escort of the Third Master?" Ye Nanxi frowned and leaned on the pillow on the soft couch and asked.

"No, it's nanny Kang, the steward from yesterday. I just went to the front hall and took a peek. I heard her ask about your health and then told Madam that I wanted to see Old Madam," Lu Zhu said as he looked at Ye Nanxi nervously. "It seems that the Xiao Family is anxious to take Madam back. If Old Madam is moved, we don't have to wait for Old Sir to come back. If Old Madam nods, Third Young Madam will have to follow them back to the Xiao Family no matter how unwilling she is."

Ye Nanxi also realized that the matter was urgent. She held the bronze fetus bracelet with strings embedded in it and pondered for a moment. Then she asked, "Nanny Kang and the others have gone to the Old Madam's place?"

Lu Zhu nodded, "When I came out of the front hall, Madam took Nanny Kang to Old Madam's place. Now she must have had a talk with Old Madam."

"What about Aunt Wen?" Ye Nanxi put down the stove and tightened the purple dark pattern coat she was wearing. "Aunt Wen, do you know about this?"

"When I was peeking in the front hall, Auntie Wen was also at the side. Madam had just left with Nanny Kang. Auntie Wen followed the Old Madam. However, the Old Madam doesn't like the crowd and the maids guarding the door don't like to see me, so I returned first to report this to Third Young Madam."

Ye Nanxi looked down at the red charcoal in the charcoal basin and pondered. On that day, Concubine Wen asked someone to open the coffin and found that she still had breath left. In that chaotic situation, it was the old lady who finally shot the case to invite the doctor. Anyway, she was grateful for the old lady's move. However, according to her experience in Ye Family this month and the remaining memory in her mind, she learned about the old lady. Now she was almost certain that the old lady would not refuse the Xiao Family because there was no reason to refuse.

Old Granny Ye loved face and liked to talk about everything. On that day, old Granny Ye asked someone to invite a doctor for her because she was the granddaughter of the Ye Family after all. Even if she made her family lose face, there was no reason for her grandmother to let go of her when she saw her granddaughter.

Today, she was the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family, and the Xiao family sent someone to pick up her daughter-in-law. There was also no reason for Old Madam Ye to stop her. What's more, the current situation was like what the Nian family said, all the faults were on her. The Xiao family not only continued to accept her generously, but also specially sent people to pick her up. The Ye family could only thank them and had no reason to refuse.

Ye Nanxi withdrew her hands back into her sleeves, clenched them tightly, got out of the soft couch and went out.

"Where are you going, Third Young Madam? Madam's body isn't fully recovered yet, so she won't be able to catch the wind!"

"I'll go take a look at the old lady."

It had snowed heavily yesterday. Although the snowfall had stopped this morning, due to the lazyness of the servants, the snow in the courtyard had yet to be cleaned. Thus, the moment Ye Nanxi left the house, her eyes were immediately blinded by the snow. When the Emerald Pearl chased after her with the cloak in her hand, she happened to see that Ye Nanxi had raised her hand to block her eyes. She looked into the courtyard and endured for a moment, but she didn't say anything. She hurriedly placed the cloak in her hand on Ye Nanxi's body. "What can Third Young Madam say in the future? If the old woman Kang and the others saw that Third Young Madam could get out of bed and walk around, wouldn't that make it even more reasonable for Third Young Madam to go back with them as soon as possible?"

"I won't go in. I'll just go outside and watch," Ye Nanxi said as she walked towards the old lady. She knew too little about the Xiao family. In this month, when Lu Zhu occasionally mentioned the Xiao family's things to her, she was completely unfamiliar with most of them. But when Lu Zhu mentioned Nanny Kang to her yesterday, she felt that a figure emerged in her mind, so she felt that she must see it with her own eyes. In addition, she also felt that it was time to meet the old lady. Half of her life was saved by the old lady. And now she was a junior in this family. Since she could get out of bed now, she should naturally go to the old lady's place and let the elders rest assured.

There was a pavilion in front of the old lady's courtyard, which was less than three feet away from the courtyard door. There were a few strange rocks placed in the middle and several red plums planted on the other side. At this time, there were two little maidservants beside the pavilion cleaning the snow with brooms. Suddenly, they saw Ye Xiaoxi coming over and could not help but stop what they were doing. Then they stood there with some surprise, staring blankly at Ye Xiaoxi getting closer and closer.

The third master of the Xiao Family seemed to be a very generous person, or he had a guilty conscience, so the burial items that he prepared for Ye Xiaoxi, in addition to gold and silver jewelry, also had clothes that could be used on ordinary days. Moreover, they were sent to the Ye Family together with the coffin. The dowry was better than that sent by the Ye Family back then. Therefore, these days, although Ye Xiaoxi was not so comfortable in the Ye Family, she was not short of money, and her daily clothes were even more extravagant than that of the Nian family. Even if she made a lot of arrangements in the past month to recover health and at the same time, she also spent some money from the previous years, but she only spent less than half of it.

At present, she was wearing a purple silk cloak, and her rare fur reflected a bright light under the snow. The two little maidservants didn't come to their senses until Ye Nanxi walked past them and entered the Snow-viewing Pavilion. Then they looked at each other in confusion and surprise. Just as they hesitated to go in and greet Ye Nanxi or tell the stewardesses in charge of the old lady's yard, Luzhu came out of the pavilion.

After a while, two little maidservants quietly received the benefits from the green beads. They took the broom and cleaned the snow on the other side. There was no news of Ye Nanxi's arrival, so they went to alert the people in the old lady's courtyard.

"How did Nanny Kang treat you when you were at the Xiao's house?" Ye Nanxi opened a window of the pavilion and sat next to it for a moment. Seeing that there was no movement in the front yard, she asked Luzhu casually.

"Nanny Kang is the stewardesses of Madam Huarui. She seldom has dealings with us maids. If you have anything to do, you can ask the stewardesses to give orders." Lu Chu stood beside Ye Nanxi and watched the situation outside while saying, "However, Nanny Kang is very strict and is an old woman of Madam Huarui's. So even the younger masters in the Xiao Manor are polite to Nanny Kang."

"Have I been very polite to her as well?"

"Yes, because every time Senior Servant Kang comes, she's always helping Madam Huarui pass the message. That's why Third Young Madam treats Senior Servant Kang with great respect." When she was done, Lu Zhu asked softly, "Third Young Madam, don't you remember all of this?"
