Chapter 457: 452, the first lady of China, please keep a low profile (7) Twice More

Auntie Hong saw how concerned Ye Junwan was for Ye Shaohua, which naturally gave her a very good impression of her.

After all, Ye Junjin, the eldest young lady of the Ye Family, had not even sent a maid to inquire after her for so long, and there had been no sign of the Ye Family’s third young master.

Not to mention the Ye Family parents.

Indeed, after not having seen her for sixteen years, a certain strangeness had inevitably crept in, but Auntie Hong still felt it was unfair to Shaohua.

In the entire Ye Family, only Junwan treated Shaohua a bit better, even sending clothes over and now bringing a novel item today.

Therefore, in response to Junwan’s questions, Auntie Hong had no intention of hiding anything, treating it as though Junwan cared about Shaohua, "Master just came over and said he has found a good marriage for Shaohua."

She had no thoughts about it and no longer cared about the people of the Ye Family.

The initial joy of Shaohua being taken back into the Ye Family had also faded quite a bit.

Upon hearing Auntie Hong’s words, Junwan hesitated slightly before asking, "A good marriage? Which family is it?"

"It’s the Tang Family, I heard it’s the second young master of the Tang Family." Auntie Hong’s eyes sparkled as she smiled.

Shaohua is like a daughter to me, having raised her myself, and in my heart, I treat her like my own. I’ve lived my whole life without children of my own and only wish for Shaohua to live well. Knowing that Shaohua has a good marriage prospect has put my mind at ease.

As Junwan looked uncertainly at Auntie Hong, she hesitated before speaking, "I have something to say, but I’m not sure if I should..."

Auntie Hong found her gaze somewhat odd and couldn’t help but ask.

"Actually, that second young master of the Tang Family was originally intended to be betrothed to me, but I did not agree," Junwan said, glancing sympathetically at Shaohua, "That second young master did not grow up with Uncle Tang but is a rough man from the countryside. He hasn’t arrived yet but is already causing a fuss about getting married; he must be someone without prospects. Your father and mother brought you back just to marry you off to him."

Upon hearing Junwan’s words, Auntie Hong’s face, which had been slowly glowing with happiness, instantly turned pale.

Seeing Auntie Hong like this, Junwan expressed her sympathy, "Auntie, don’t be too sad. It’s just rumors on the outside that you’re unaware of."

After speaking, she comforted Auntie Hong for a while, and when Auntie Hong did not respond, Junwan left with her maid.

As soon as everyone in the room had gone, Auntie Hong threw herself at Shaohua, wiping her tears, "My second young lady, how could your mother and father demean you like this, giving you to someone the fourth young lady didn’t want..."

She had thought that Mr. Ye had at least fulfilled a father’s duty by finding a good match for Shaohua, but who could have imagined such a result?

Auntie Hong hadn’t finished crying when someone from the Ye Family arrived.

"Master said not to leave the house at all these next few days. I’ll be watching the door without taking a step away," said the man, a capable subordinate of Mr. Ye, as he looked at Shaohua with a very indifferent tone.

Auntie Hong closed the door.

Turning to see Shaohua holding a book, indifferent and composed, Auntie Hong felt her grief was far greater than resignation.

Shaohua approached, wiping Auntie Hong’s tears, "Why cry? The Ye Family is just idling around too much."

She murmured, "It’s time to find something to keep them busy."

"What?" Auntie Hong didn’t catch the softly spoken words.

"It’s nothing, don’t worry about this matter."

Shaohua thought of the pending marriage with the Tang Family and narrowed her eyes slightly; she didn’t need this fiancé.

In the past, she had no rights, but thinking of the people she’d contacted that afternoon, Shaohua considered indifferently.

No rush, she had rights now, not only rights but considerable ones at that.

Enough to break off an engagement.

Auntie Hong took Shaohua’s words as comfort, knowing she had always been considerate, but could only smile bitterly and shake her head, not crying anymore.

The second young lady was already upset; she couldn’t make her more so.

What use was crying now that things had come to this?

Three days later, it was the birthday of Junwan, the fourth young lady renowned throughout Shen City.

On this day, Junjin, the eldest young lady of the Ye Family who was already married, and the third young master Junqing, who could not easily leave the military, both returned home.

These three had supported each other growing up, and after experiencing so much warfare together, their feelings for one another were naturally deep.

Compared with that, Shaohua, isolated on the outside, was like a stranger.

Accompanying Junjin was the son of the president of the first bank, who was presumably quite famous, and half of the guests coming to the Ye Family that day were there for this banker’s son.

"Little sister, father says that in the month since you’ve come back, you haven’t been behaving. With Shen City in such chaos, you should just stay quietly at the Ye Family until the day you marry," Junjin finally found a moment to admonish Shaohua. "Father has with great effort found you a good marriage, and you must not spoil it."

In the current time, most of the eligible bachelors in Shen City were either overseas-educated, or at the very least, children of renowned literati from the Western School.

For someone like Shaohua, who wasn’t very knowledgeable, it was fortunate to have found a good prospective match.

Of course, Junjin had her own ideas; her father-in-law’s bank also needed people to manage it, and the Tang Family was a very good choice.

As Mr. Ye’s daughter, she too had inherited some of her father’s desire for power.

Speaking frankly, those who do not covet money and power are in the minority in this world.

Although she was reluctant to part with her sister whom she had grown up with, to this second sister she found somewhat estranged, she had no reservations.

Admonishing Shaohua in her capacity as the eldest sister, Junjin did not expect Shaohua to remain silent, meeting her gaze with a hint of coldness.

This caused Junjin to frown, and she ultimately walked away with just "hopeless" to say.

She had intended to introduce Shaohua to some friends, but seeing Shaohua’s attitude, she simply couldn’t be bothered to give her a hand anymore.

"What happened?" Junjin’s husband, after talking with a department store owner, quietly asked.

Junjin was annoyed with Shaohua.

Hearing this, she simply shook her head, "Marrying into the Tang Family might not necessarily be a good thing for her, and we can’t expect much from her in the future."

Upon hearing this, Junjin’s husband pondered for a moment, had the gift prepared for Shaohua put away, and replaced it with a more ordinary item.

If that was the case, then it wasn’t worth his trouble.
