Chapter 245 A bit interesting
As soon as Li Siya said this, many eyes fell on Ye Qing'an.
Three men were standing in a pavilion not far away. Hearing the sound, they looked over. One of the men, dressed in blue, tapped the man in moon-white clothes next to him with his folding fan: "The eldest daughter of the Ye family? Isn't that your fiancée's sister?"
The man in the white robes was none other than the Fifth Prince, Yi Xiao.
Upon hearing this, Yi Xiao raised her eyebrows and looked at the person sitting in the pavilion. The legendary Miss Ye had her back to her, so her face could not be seen. Her clothes were simple and elegant, and from the back, her figure was quite graceful.
"Thank you." Ye Qing'an's voice rang out, clear and melodious, without much emotion.
The man in blue couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Thank you? Did Miss Li think that night she was praising her?"
Li Siya's expression was also rather unpleasant. She glared at Ye Qing'an resentfully and said, "Miss Ye, you've maintained your figure very well. You can't tell at all that your child is already over four years old."
Ye Qing'an nodded again, realizing that Li Siya was probably mindful of being in the Duke of Ying's mansion and didn't dare to actually fight her, so she could only use barbed words.
"Miss Li is also quite nice. Neither her figure nor her appearance gives any indication that she is still an unmarried young woman."
"Pfft..." The man in blue almost choked on his own saliva: "This Miss Ye is quite interesting."
interesting.
Yi Xiao repeated it to herself and nodded slightly. It was indeed quite interesting.
He had heard many rumors about this young lady of the Ye family. They said that she was timid and that she had been bullied in the Ye family because she was a useless person who could not cultivate.
She later became pregnant out of wedlock and was kicked out of the Ye family mansion. She was sent to the estate for several years before returning to the Ye family mansion a couple of months ago.
He had assumed that, given Miss Ye's background, she would be the kind of person who was timid and hesitant, not even daring to speak loudly...
To his surprise, it turned out to be completely different from what he had guessed.
Li Siya was so angry that her face turned pale, and almost instinctively she reached out her hand behind her.
Ye Qing'an, however, remained calm and composed: "Miss Li, this is the Duke of Ying's mansion. Today is the Duchess of Ying's birthday. Although you are the daughter of General Li, it is rather improper and uncivilized for you to cause trouble here."
“If Miss Li insists on taking action, then I will have no choice but to retaliate. However, as Miss Li just mentioned, I am already a mother of a four-year-old child and have no plans to get married. But Miss Li is different; Miss Li is not yet married…”
"If we really cause a scene here, and word gets out, it might not be good for Miss Li's reputation."
Li Siya glanced around and saw countless eyes fixed on the two of them, and her face suddenly felt hot.
It's all Ye Qing'an's fault. If this woman weren't so shameless, why would these people look at her like that?
Li Siya gritted her teeth in anger: "You just wait."
After uttering those harsh words, he left with his maid.
Ye Qing'an curled the corners of her lips. Wait? Then let's wait.
Seeing Li Siya walk away, Ye Qing'an turned his head and looked at the lake again. After the commotion, the fish in the lake below the pavilion had all dispersed.
"Look, look!" The man in blue quickly nudged Yixiao: "She's turned around, she's turned around."
"Ah... I thought Li Siya was just mocking her when she said she was beautiful and that her looks were among the top three in Wangjing. I didn't expect it to be true!"
"This Miss Ye certainly doesn't look like someone whose child is already over four years old. Wasn't it said that Miss Ye became pregnant out of wedlock and was sent by the Ye family to a remote estate, where she lived a miserable life for four or five years? But her appearance and demeanor don't seem like someone who has been doing farm work on an estate for four or five years at all."
Yi Xiao was also somewhat stunned. So this is what the eldest daughter of the Ye family looks like?
Knowing about the scheming and gossip behind Ye Weilan's back, he planned to wait until the whole city knew about his marriage to Ye Weilan, then pursue Ye Qing'an instead, making Ye Weilan and her daughter lose face.
At the time, he didn't think much about it, only that doing so would surely make Ye Weilan and her daughter furious.
To him, Ye Qing'an was nothing more than a pawn, a shield, used to take revenge on Ye Weilan and her daughter in the whole affair. What she looked like and what her temperament was like were not important.
It was all just an act.
Now that he saw Ye Qing'an and observed her words and actions just now, he suddenly felt that perhaps there was no need to pretend at all. With Ye Qing'an's appearance and temperament, it didn't seem like a difficult thing to fall in love with her.
Yi Xiao's eyes darkened as she made up her mind.
The back garden of the Duke of England's mansion was very large. After sitting for a while, Ye Qing felt a bit bored, so he simply stood up and prepared to walk around and see the scenery.
Just as Ye Qing'an walked through a long corridor and passed through the hanging flower gate, she bumped into someone.
The man was dressed in a moon-white robe and walked hurriedly, seemingly in a hurry. After Ye Qing'an bumped into him, she heard a crisp sound, as if something had fallen to the ground.
Ye Qing'an lowered her head and saw the jade pendant on the ground.
The man seemed unaware that his jade pendant had fallen from his body, and simply said in a low voice, "Sorry," before turning to leave.
"Young Master..." Ye Qing'an quickly called out to him, "You dropped your jade pendant."
The man paused, turned around to look at the ground, and then quickly bent down to pick up the jade pendant. He then looked at Ye Qing'an and said, "Thank you, Miss. This jade pendant is a keepsake left to me by my mother. I would be very sad if I lost it. May I ask your name, Miss? When I return, I will certainly have someone prepare a small gift to express my gratitude."
Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow, her gaze falling on his face, on that voice...
She's heard it.
Where have I heard this before?
Ye Qing'an frowned and thought for a moment, then remembered: Xingguo Temple.
Although there was a wall between them that day, she still remembered the Fifth Prince's voice.
Although she didn't know what the Fifth Prince's plans were after overhearing Liu Xueying and Ye Weilan's schemes through the listening bubble she sent that night, she was certain that the Fifth Prince had already developed feelings for Ye Weilan.
What a coincidence?
I can't believe we ran into each other here.
Ye Qing'an curled the corners of her lips: "My name is Ye Qing'an."
After Ye Qing'an finished speaking, she saw the Fifth Prince in front of her raise his eyebrows slightly upon hearing her name, his face showing surprise: "Miss Ye? Are you the young lady from Prime Minister Ye's residence?"
