Finally, after passing through the garden and corridor, they bypassed the towering building in front of them, entered through a side door, and arrived at the rear residential quarters.
The Governor’s Mansion was constructed of four spire-topped buildings in a circular formation, and now they had entered the building at the furthest back.
At the center of the circular formation was a beautiful large garden.
A dignified and elegant noblewoman, dressed in exquisite white fur with a jade green necklace adorning her neck, stood on a few steps of the staircase, showing a graceful and friendly smile towards them. Two maids were with her, curiously looking on.
Jun Yiyi scrutinized the noblewoman, feeling a vague sense of familiarity, but couldn’t recall where she had seen her before.
However, the noblewoman proactively descended the stairs, her steps graceful, her smile more enthusiastic as she approached, grabbing Madam Aisha’s hand and speaking joyously, "Sister, you’re here. Why have you been coming back so infrequently lately? Is there sothing I’m not doing well, making you unhappy? You should tell anything, don’t keep it in your heart. It’s not comfortable for either."
Madam Aisha hurriedly said, "How could that be? Yilian, you manage the Governor’s Mansion well and orderly; everyone knows that. If it were , I would definitely make a ss of things. How could I think you’re doing poorly?"
"That’s good. I was still worried that you blad , which is why you weren’t coming back!" Mrs. Yun exhaled a sigh of relief, then looked at Jun Yiyi and imdiately displayed a kind smile, "Ah, this must be the girl you adopted. I heard she cos from a poverty-stricken background. Sister, you truly have a kind heart."
As she finished speaking, she let go of Madam Aisha’s hand, smilingly assessing Jun Yiyi, warmly grasping her hand.
"She is truly charming and lovely, soone you can’t help but like. At first glance, I felt an affinity for her. I prepared a small gift upon hearing of your return."
Jun Yiyi’s hand was instantly furnished with an ornate box, upon opening it, revealed a beautiful bracelet, embedded with nurous white diamonds, appearing highly valuable.
"Thank you." Jun Yiyi showed a surprised expression. This woman was unexpectedly generous; the bracelet must be very expensive. Right, who exactly is this noblewoman? Is she Madam Aisha’s sister-in-law?
Since this woman calls Madam Aisha sister; she should be the wife of Governor Yun’s younger brother!
Mrs. Yun saw Jun Yiyi’s face full of astonishnt and inwardly mocked, what a shallow girl, getting overly excited by just a bracelet. Of course, that stupid woman Yuan Aisha couldn’t adopt anything good, surely just a stupid and ignorant girl.
Not looking special, this girl’s face has so delicacy but isn’t considered a beauty, her skin lacks translucence, her complexion is yellowish, the dressing is quite common, even sowhat tacky, lacking the elegance and beauty of a noble lady, like a girl from a small town, hardly soone who could stand up.
And most notably, that head of golden yellow hair, ha, such a color raises no interest, she’s nothing but a woman with low fertility, no value.
Initially, there was still so concern that this suddenly appearing girl might pose a threat to her status, after all, a ticulous husband like Governor Yun would only act if there was an advantage to be gained. Agreeing to adopt a girl from Yalan Country inevitably raised suspicions; the girl must bring him so benefit, which led to the adoption. She feared Qingqing might be overshadowed, her status affected.
But now it seems, she truly poses no threat at all.
