Chapter 119: Fate is inferior to others, Pearl City
The snow was blowing all day, and there were few people and cars on the street. Only outside Cuibaoxuan were there several carriages, with dozens of servants waiting, making the place very lively.
"Madam, many people come to buy pearls!" said Chunyu.
"Go and see!"
Ye Qinghuan got off the car and walked into Cuibaoxuan.
Because there were too many people, Cuibaoxuan had already limited the number of people: "Madam, I'm sorry, we are full now. You need to wait for half an hour."
"How dare you! This is General Shen's wife!" Chunyan shouted.
The servant said in embarrassment: "Madam Shen, there is nothing I can do. Everyone here is of status. But it is really full..."
"It's okay, we'll wait."
"We have set up a lounge. Please have some tea and rest for a while, Madam."
The servant welcomed Ye Qinghuan and his servant into the lounge, where they met Ye Qinglan and Madam Ye.
After not seeing her for a few days, Ye Qinglan had become much thinner and looked very pale. Even with thick powder and rouge on, she could not hide her haggard look.
Like a flower that has passed its blooming period and is withering.
When Ye Qinglan saw Ye Qinghuan, her eyes flashed with intense hatred.
But she said nothing.
Neither did Mrs. Ye.
Both of them were trying their best to suppress their anger and hatred and pretend to be blind.
It's really like the sun rises in the west, and strange things happen one after another.
Since they didn't bother him, Ye Qinghuan sat far away and drank tea and ate snacks.
The big pearl necklace around her neck made the women in the lounge envious.
Didn't they rush here in the heavy snow just to see the beautiful pearls and buy a few to take back?
Ye Qinghuan is already wearing a whole bunch!
She is worthy of being the mistress of the general’s mansion.
In comparison, the situation of the eldest daughter of the Ye family was miserable. After everyone envied Ye Qinghuan, they also sympathized with Ye Qinglan.
These gazes cut into Ye Qinglan like knives, making her feel so uncomfortable that she wanted to go crazy!
Suddenly, Mrs. Ye's nanny came in hurriedly and reported something in a low voice.
Mrs. Ye and Ye Qinglan hurriedly stood up and prepared to leave.
Ye Qinghuan was just feeling strange when a burst of fragrance came over and Ye Qinglan and Madam Ye were blocked at the door.
"Madam Prince..." Ye Qinglan bowed timidly and subconsciously hid behind Madam Ye.
Mu Qing's face was rosy and noble, no longer pale and haggard as before.
She asked Ye Qinglan expressionlessly: "What are you doing here?"
"I am here to accompany my mother to see Pearl..." Ye Qinglan lowered her head humbly and answered in a low voice.
Madam Ye quickly put on a smile and said, "Madam Crown Prince is here to see Pearl, too, right? We've been waiting in line for a while and will be here soon. Let's see it together later!"
"No need." Mu Qing said, and then walked towards Ye Qinghuan: "Mrs. Shen, long time no see, are you okay?"
Different from the indifference just now, Mu Qing now had a friendly smile on her face.
"Thank you for your concern, Madam. I'm fine. Madam looks fine too?" Ye Qinghuan looked at Mu Qing.
Mu Qing said, "I'm almost fully recovered. Doctor Xue said I can stop taking the medicine after recuperating until next spring."
"That's good."
"Thank you for helping me invite Dr. Xue..."
Mu Qing sat down next to Ye Qinghuan, holding her hand and chatting.
"My two children are still young, and I haven't been able to take good care of them in the past two years because of my poor health. Now that I'm better, they don't have to worry about their future...
Although Rui'er and Xiangxiang are still young, they know that you saved me and are very grateful. Rui'er even insisted on recognizing you as his godmother!
Ye Qinghuan recalled the past life when Jiang Rui served her soup and medicine and stood by Chang Xiao's bed. Her heart softened and she blurted out, "Rui'er is a good child."
"Then I'll ask him to kowtow to you later." Mu Qing said.
"I am not blessed with the fortune of giving birth to a child, so forget about being a godmother. If the prince's wife doesn't mind, I will be Rui'er's aunt." Ye Qinghuan said.
Biological mother, godmother, it sounds like they have another meaning to Jiang Shiming.
Taboo!
"Okay!" Mu Qing guessed that she was intentionally drawing a line between us, and nodded, "From now on, you will be my sister from my mother's family."
The head of the Mu family was a veteran of three dynasties, and he also had a concubine named Rou. Even the emperor had to give him some face in the court. In front of the Mu family, Ye Huai was just a small minister, not worth mentioning.
After Mu Qing's death in the previous life, the Mu family saw that Ye Qinghuan treated Rui'er and Xiangxiang sincerely, so they slowly began to support her. They helped Rui'er pass the imperial examination and become an official.
Unexpectedly, after marrying into the Shen family in this life, she would still have the support of the Mu family. She was so lucky.
"It would be disrespectful to refuse. Then I would like to thank the Crown Prince's wife." Ye Qing smiled.
The two chatted and laughed, and finally returned to the topic of pearls: "Sister, this pearl necklace is also from Cui Bao Xuan, right?"
"Yes. This was sent by my concubine. It looks good, so I came to take a look." Ye Qinghuan replied.
Although Ye Qinglan was sitting far away, she kept listening attentively.
Originally, it was irritating enough that the Mu family was Ye Qinghuan's mother's family. Now, after hearing that Su Jinxiu had given her such a beautiful pearl necklace, Ye Qinglan was so angry that she almost died!
That Su Jinxiu is not a generous person!
She always looked delicate but used all kinds of tricks. In her previous life, when she was a mistress in the general's mansion, she was bullied by Su Jinxiu overtly and covertly!
Why did Su Jinxiu start to please Ye Qinghuan when she was with him?
"Lan'er." Mrs. Ye knew that her daughter was unwilling, so she shook her head to remind her not to cause trouble again.
Buying pearls today is a big deal!
"mother……"
"Same people but different fates."
Mrs. Ye has accepted her fate.
It doesn’t matter whether the marriage is changed or not, the result is already in front of us and cannot be changed.
It’s not that her daughter is inferior to Ye Qinghuan, it’s just fate.
Ye Qinghuan, you are so lucky!
Not only will she be liked by her husband and mother-in-law, but she will also have good opportunities to meet women and make friends everywhere.
Just like Bai Linglong back then. She was like a halo wherever she went, attracting attention.
"Mom, I know." Ye Qinglan lowered her head and clenched her back teeth.
She thought about it and decided that since she couldn't win the prince's favor, she would change her route and go to her mother-in-law.
As long as her mother-in-law likes her, she can still gain a foothold in the Marquis' Mansion.
As for Mu Qing...
Humph, now the disease has just been cured, who can guarantee that she can live a hundred years?
Once Mu Qing died, she could still become the mistress and take charge of the entire mansion thanks to her mother-in-law's favor.
However, her mother-in-law never liked her, so after much inquiry, she decided to adopt a roundabout tactic.
Start with Princess Yong'an.
Princess Yong'an is her mother-in-law's sister-in-law, and her mother-in-law listens to Princess Yong'an the most. As long as Princess Yong'an helps, she can rebuild her image in front of her mother-in-law.
Today, she must buy some good pearls and give them to Princess Yong'an!
"Mrs. Ye, it's your turn."
Finally, the servant came to call.
Madam Ye stood up and asked Mu Qing with a smile, "Madam, why don't you go first?"
"No need." Mu Qing said coldly without even raising her head.
Mrs. Ye's efforts were met with a cold reception, and she took Ye Qinglan to see the pearl awkwardly.
