Chapter 453: 448, the first lady of China, please keep a low profile (3) Twice More

Auntie Hong was overjoyed to hear that someone from Shen City had arrived, "Please wait a moment, the second young lady has finished school for the day, as soon as she’s back, you can go."

Zhang, the deputy commander, was very surprised, "You didn’t tell the second young lady I was coming to pick her up today?"

If he had told her, she should have left school early.

However, he didn’t say anything since she was, after all, the second young lady.

He was quite curious, wondering what the second young lady whom he had never seen at the Ye Family home was like.

Just as he was pondering this, Auntie Hong smiled, "The second young lady is back!"

He turned his head subconsciously to look.

Zhang, the deputy commander, had already seen the two famous young ladies of the Ye Family who were well-known throughout Shen City.

The eldest daughter, Ye Junjin, was knowledgeable and well-mannered, a highly representative figure of the modern elite young women of her time. When she came of age, there was an endless stream of suitors from Shen City.

And the fourth young lady, Ye Junwan, was even more distinguished than Ye Junjin.

She was different from the others, quirky and known as the eccentric genius of the literary world, always giving off an air distinctly different from the other famous young women of Shen City.

Each time she appeared, she’d be in a Western-style dress, wearing a pretty hat on her head, catching everyone’s attention.

Because of her, Shen City’s young ladies one by one started to follow suit, making Western-style dresses popular.

It was just that Nanjing was a bit more conservative, with fewer foreigners than Shen City, and even fewer women wore Western dresses. Walking on the street, they would be gawked at with peculiar looks.

Zhang, the deputy commander, finally understood what the fourth young lady meant by conservative.

As he was mulling over this, the second young lady Auntie Hong mentioned appeared.

Her gaze slightly downcast, her straight black hair draping down and concealing the sides of her face.

She was wearing a blue schoolgirl’s uniform.

Compared to the fourth young lady’s Western dress, it did indeed look rather drab and outdated, particularly in Shen City.

Shen City’s famous young women, even if they didn’t wear Western dresses, would at least wear vibrantly colored qipaos. Only girls from less wealthy families would wear such monotonous school dresses.

Could it be that the money the lady sent back each year was embezzled, leaving no one to buy dresses for the second young lady?

"Second young lady, it’s great you’re back. Hurry up and get on the carriage. Deputy Commander Zhang has come to take us back to Shen City. Don’t worry, I’ve packed all the books and things you’ve collected. They’re on the carriage behind us." Auntie Hong immediately took the books from Ye Shaohua’s hands.

Ye Shaohua, indifferent, followed her onto the carriage, "Oh."

It was then that Deputy Commander Zhang finally saw Ye Shaohua’s face.

It was only a casual glance.

After all, considering what had happened before, he wasn’t particularly interested in Ye Shaohua. Maybe it was because Ye Junwan had brainwashed him, but his taste had changed, and he felt that only those women who wore Western dresses were truly attractive.

Yet when he saw that rather aloof face, his heart felt as if it had been touched by something.

Opposite to the vivacity of Ye Junwan, upon first seeing Ye Shaohua, there was only one word that came to mind — cold.

Her pitch-black hair made her face appear exceptionally pale. She wasn’t like Ye Junwan who wore makeup, but her face was remarkably outstanding, exuding a transcendent aura.

Deputy Commander Zhang immediately revised his opinion. Ye Junwan was always considered the number one belle in Shen City.

But—

Upon comparison, he really felt that this second young lady must be even more remarkable.

Traveling on the official road by car, it took about a day to get from Nanjing to Shen City.

"Mother, is it second sister who’s arriving?" The Ye Family had just finished dinner when they received the message from Deputy Commander Zhang.

Upon hearing that her unseen second sister was returning, Ye Junwan didn’t leave after dinner. Instead, she stayed with Madam Ye in the hall, waiting.

"Yes," Madam Ye said affectionately, patting Ye Junwan’s head, "Your father said that the Tang Family has agreed to your second sister’s marriage to their family."

Although she was reluctant to see Ye Junwan marry into another family, she didn’t feel the same about her second daughter.

For one thing, Ye Shaohua had been an unwanted child from birth. Over the past sixteen years, although those feelings had faded, the affection she might have felt was hindered by Ye Junwan and Ye Junqing’s presence, and the fact that Ye Shaohua didn’t grow up by her side made it difficult to develop any fondness.

Secondly, as the other party had always been in Nanjing, which was not as prosperous as Shen City and was backward in various educational aspects, she had only been raised by a servant and likely learned nothing of value.

Normally, when people heard about a legitimate young lady brought up by a mere servant, they wouldn’t think of marrying her, with neither talent nor virtue.

Madam Ye hadn’t thought of this before, but she now realized that marrying into the Tang Family as their second young master’s wife was an excellent outcome.

The second young master of the Tang Family was a crude bumpkin, unworthy of Ye Junwan. But their second daughter was similar to him. The two were well-matched; it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call them a perfect match.

When Ye Shaohua returned, Ye Junwan was chatting and laughing with Madam Ye.

Upon seeing Ye Shaohua, she was momentarily stunned.

"Are you... my second sister?" She widened her eyes, hardly able to believe that such a person could be her second sister.

Dressed in a dull-gray schoolgirl’s uniform, even a Ye Family servant had better clothes than her.

As a lady of the Ye Family, naturally representing their image, such outdated clothes would be an embarrassment if word got out.

However...

This second sister was quite attractive.

Ye Junwan looked at Ye Shaohua’s face with complex feelings. Even in such plain clothes, she seemed to carry a spiritual qi that made her stand out.

But she was a bit stiff.

Madam Ye had asked her several questions, to which she responded very coldly, not even calling out "Mother" upon her return.

This provided some comfort to Ye Junwan.

"That’s enough, we’ve prepared a room for you. You must be tired from the journey, go and rest," Madam Ye, feeling no warmth from this daughter, waved her away impatiently.

Auntie Hong kept giving Ye Shaohua meaningful glances, yet Ye Shaohua remained indifferent.

As they left the hall with a maid leading the way, Auntie Hong finally couldn’t hold back and asked Ye Shaohua why she was so cold, noting that it did her no favor.

Ye Shaohua finally showed a smile but didn’t respond, merely shaking her head.

After Ye’s father finished his government affairs and came home, he too had heard Deputy Commander Zhang’s report. He inquired further of Madam Ye, "Today is the day Shaohua returns. You’ve seen her, what do you think, can she be a suitable match for the second young master?"
