Chapter 452: 447, the first lady of China, please keep a low profile (2) Once More

Ye mother hadn’t seen her second daughter for sixteen years now.

At that time, the servant did often write letters back.

Unfortunately, although the old house over in Nanjing was still there, they had since introduced photography, this novel invention, from the foreigners.

This thing was quite common in Shen City.

Nowadays, Shen City is the most prosperous and economically advanced city in Asia. Ye Junwan had brought back a camera from abroad, but Nanjing wasn’t as flourishing.

So, to this day, the servant hadn’t sent even a single photograph.

Ye mother also didn’t know what Ye Shaohua looked like.

"In a few days, when she’s back, we’ll know what she looks like, but she’s still attending School. Have her drop out first," Ye mother thought about Shaohua and without much consideration, sent a message to Nanjing.

But Ye Family’s genes were quite exemplary; the brothers and sisters of Ye Family, each appeared more spirited than the last.

So Ye mother, despite not having seen Shaohua, didn’t think she would be unattractive.

However, when compared to her own youngest daughter, she would certainly be a bit less impressive.

Ever since returning from studying abroad, Ye Junwan had developed a strong disdain for the feudal society’s foot-binding and the philosophy of men being supreme.

Hearing that her second sister was still studying in such a feudal School, an image of a woman from a feudal society wrapped in a heavy coat immediately surfaced in her mind, sending a chill through her.

But if they wanted her to marry a man from feudal Society, she would absolutely never agree.

The Ye Family in Shen City was busy as a beehive.

Meanwhile, Nanjing was much more leisurely.

Although not as prosperous or open as Shen City, Nanjing was safe, thanks to Tang Feng’s pacification, and no unruly military dared to come here causing trouble and killings.

Thus, quite a few people had moved to settle down in Nanjing.

Ye Shaohua had been awake for three days now, spending those days reminiscing about the plot while attending class at School.

China wasn’t as chaotic as she had imagined.

At least in Nanjing, public safety was still acceptable.

However... technology was indeed backward. Schools had opened, and elective courses were available by high school, but they were mostly history electives. The studies in optics and mechanics that Shaohua wanted to see were virtually nonexistent.

Although a University Order had been issued, the curriculum setup was too outdated.

The university division did have seven courses, but their content was mostly very superficial.

Especially since there was no fixed curriculum, mainly due to a severe shortage of teaching staff.

Moreover, many more refugees simply couldn’t enter School. In this era of survival, those without power were all clamoring to live; everything else could be cast aside.

The original owner’s family was considered among the more affluent, and the School she attended was the best university in Nanjing.

But after Shaohua wandered around the School, she realized how inadequately equipped it was.

She finally understood why the country was in such dire need of talent, and why so few who went abroad ever came back.

"Second Miss, Madam and Master sent a letter!" As Shaohua stepped in, Hong Ayi, who had taken care of her since she was a child, excitedly produced a letter for her to see, "Madam says that in two days, a group of people will come to pick us up and take us back to Shen City!"

Seeing Hong Ayi hand her the letter, Shaohua put down the book in her hand.

She casually took the paper.

The letter was terse, just instructing Shaohua to hurry back to Shen City, and that Father would send a team to escort the two of them back to Nanjing.

It didn’t inquire about Shaohua’s well-being, and since the handwriting was crisp and forceful, it was likely written by someone else on their behalf.

After a quick glance, Shaohua placed the letter on the table and calmly turned to look at Hong Ayi, "Hong Ayi, now that you’re done getting excited, tell someone to start cooking. I’d like to have fish for dinner tonight."

Hong Ayi’s excitement was quickly soothed by Shaohua’s calm response.

"Second Miss, aren’t you happy?" From Shaohua’s occasional daydreaming, Hong Ayi knew that she yearned for her relatives in Shen City.

But she hadn’t expected Shaohua to react so calmly to the news.

Hong Ayi suddenly felt she couldn’t quite understand her anymore.

"I’m not unhappy," Shaohua said indifferently, "it’s just that these people, to me, aren’t as close as you, Hong Ayi."

Hearing Shaohua’s words, Hong Ayi felt consoled yet surprised.

In her heart, Shaohua had always been very quiet and outstanding. As a child, she often asked when Father and Mother would come to take her back, and she was a literate person who had taught Shaohua quite a lot.

Hong Ayi tended to forget easily. At first, she felt a bit puzzled, but then she remembered that she was going back to Shen City and was very delighted. That evening, she personally cooked a whole table of dishes.

Watching Hong Ayi’s excited behavior, Shaohua sighed.

In the original storyline, both the original owner and Hong Ayi were extremely excited, thinking they were going to Heaven.

However, it turned out to be Hell.

Ye Junwan, who had studied abroad for several years, held very open views and had little regard for her tradition-bound second sister. Her knowledge from abroad made her very popular in Shen City, attracting many young talents.

She also brainwashed the original owner, saying that the second young master of the Tang Family wasn’t a good match, and as a modern woman, she must learn to be independent.

Before the marriage, the original owner filled with despair about her matrimonial future.

Father could have refused the arranged marriage, but he was greedy for fame and reluctant to lose such a good opportunity. Unwilling to let his youngest daughter suffer, he proposed that Shaohua marry the second son of the Tang Family.

When Shaohua expressed her reluctance to marry, he even had her placed under house arrest.

Proclaiming she should count herself lucky to marry the second son.

On the day of her marriage, she learned the bitter truth that the intended bride had been Junwan.

It was only because of parental favoritism that she was sent to marry in the end.

She couldn’t help but feel anger, heartbreak, and betrayal, and at that moment, Junwan sneaked into her room, persuading the original owner to elope.

How could a delicate woman possibly survive after eloping in such times?

She was well aware of this, yet Junwan appeared with a look of I’m-doing-this-for-your-own-good and you’re-ungrateful-to-refuse, deserving to only marry someone like him.

Out of anger, the original owner pushed her.

Junwan hit her head and it bled.

And because of this incident, the older son of the Tang Family, who was fond of Junwan, poisoned the food meant for the original owner.

The original owner had just married into the Tang Family when she died of poisoning.

This caused Ye Family to lose a daughter and made Tang Feng feel deeply guilty. Hence, he treated Junwan extremely well after she joined the Tang Family.

But both the original owner and Hong Ayi, who was helping her find out the truth, met with unhappy ends.

What a damn world this was.

Two days later, a Military Officer led a team to knock on the Ye Family mansion’s door.

"We are here by Madam’s command to escort the Second Lady back to Shen City," said Vice Commander Zhang to Hong Ayi, who opened the door.
