Zhu Yan thought for a mont before saying, "Who are the masters in this residence?"
This question was not difficult to answer.
"To reply to Miss Biao, there is the old Madam, the Master, the Madam, the eldest young master, the second young master, the third young master and the three young mistresses, the second young lady, the third young lady, and Miss Biao, no other masters are there!"
Just a few of them?
Zhu Yan pondered for a mont, "What about the second and third uncles?"
"To reply to Miss Biao, there are no second or third Masters in the residence anymore. Both of them have disassociated from the Yun Family, and henceforth will have no contact. Even the second lady has separated from the second Master and returned to the Han Family with the forr fourth young lady!" The old woman said, leaning towards Zhu Yan, "Miss Biao, you must never ntion the second or third Masters, the old Madam does not like it!"
"Why?"
The old woman weighed the silver in her hand, feeling it was quite considerable, and then whispered, "The forr fourth young lady, now Princess Yijia, the old Madam never liked her, and through these years has not been sparing in her mistreatnt. Now, Princess Yijia has beco the eldest young lady of the Han Family and has no more connections to the Yun Family. Moreover, Princess Yijia is very wealthy, owning several large residences, not to ntion her rewards. In this Capital City, there’s no young lady richer than Princess Yijia!"
"Is she married?"
"Not yet, it’s said she left with the Commandery Princess, and then again heard she’s back in the Capital City!"
"..."
No, it’s not like this.
After turning fifteen, Yun Jinnian married the Fifth Prince. Now, at sixteen, she is the Fifth Prince’s consort, and for the old Madam’s grand birthday, she returned as the Fifth Prince’s consort to attend the banquet, where she also first t the Fifth Prince.
That elegant, graceful, and charming Fifth Prince.
She was a modern woman from society, and naturally had ways to win the heart of an ancient man.
Especially being able to outshine Yun Jinnian.
Except in terms of appearance.
But now, things seem different.
From the mont she entered the Capital City, everything was different; Yun Jinnian did not marry the Fifth Prince, but beca the eldest young lady of the Han Family and was even conferred as Commandery Princess.
To this day, she has not married, much less beco the Fifth Prince’s wife.
Does that an she has a chance to beco the rightful wife and not the lowly concubine...
Thinking of this, Zhu Yan felt her entire body heat up.
She waved her hand to signal the old woman to leave; the old woman, having received the silver, happily withdrew and upon returning to her own hut, counted a total of fifty-five taels, feeling even more delighted.
She needed to save more silver to buy her family’s freedom; this Yun Residence always gave her a sense of foreboding...
Xu Xinmo smashed the cup in her hand, feeling it wasn’t enough to vent her anger, she smashed two more, and even the teapot, before feeling sowhat relieved.
Her coming-of-age at fifteen was a joke, a joke of the entire Capital City, with not one of her family’s matriarch, father, uncles, or aunts in attendance, nor did they send any token of recognition, let alone consider that the entire Xu Family had relocated to officialdom outside the city, departing without informing her at all.
Though her grandmother still doted on her, wanting for anything was no longer as convenient as before.
Mrs. Jin mysteriously disappeared without a trace, and from ti to ti, she felt intensely itchy, unable to scratch the right spot, and even after consulting the Imperial Physician, no solution was found, so the eldest uncle did not request the Imperial Physician again.
"Ah..."
Xu Xinmo let out a sharp scream, wildly agitated.
Yet she didn’t know how to resolve it, Daidai, watching from the side, was anxious, but dared not speak up.
"Daidai, co here!"
Daidai hurried forward at her call, "Miss!"
"Let ask you, did Yun Jinnian really return?" Xu Xinmo asked, with intense envy and jealousy in her eyes.
When Yun Jinnian ca of age, many people sent gifts, whereas for her coming of age, despite sending nurous invitations, only a few responded.
