"Mother, if you still want elder sister and sister-in-law to help Yile find a match, you should persuade her not to act like she owes everyone while living off others, eating their food, and staying at their hos."
"You know elder sister’s nature; others might indulge Yile, but she will not. If you want Yile to settle down soon, you should restrain her properly instead of letting her act wilfully."
Yan Yihuan was also getting tired of Yan Yile’s ingratitude, but as siblings from the sa mother, even though she was impatient, she couldn’t just let go and do nothing.
After quickly saying a few words to the Sun Family, Yan Yihuan left.
These days, worrying about her mother and sister, she hadn’t rested properly. When she arrived at the Prince Residence, even elder sister noticed her exhaustion and advised her to rest well, but her mother and sister didn’t say a word.
Yan Yihuan was truly saddened this ti. She returned to her room but couldn’t rest imdiately because, concerned about her mother and sister who left without notice, she quickly spoke a few words with her husband before chasing after them, and now she had to write a letter to send back to report her safety.
As the end of the year approached, it was a busy ti for the household, and she didn’t know how long she would have to stay in Liangdu. Her husband would probably have a harder ti.
Thinking of this, Yan Yihuan couldn’t help sighing; it was only because she was favored by her uncle and others that her husband treated her with exceptional lenience. Otherwise, her mother and Yile’s behavior this ti would have been enough to make her in-laws dissatisfied.
Even she felt her own family was a burden, let alone her uncle and brother.
...
No one knows what Sun Family said to Yan Yile, but Yan Yile cald down, and both of them stayed quiet in the room to recover.
Daohua knew Yan Yihuan was watching them, so she didn’t pay much attention and only instructed the maids to take good care of them before busying herself with her affairs.
In mid-December, Daohua saw that Sun Family and Yan Yile were getting along well and told Yan Yihuan that the Prince Residence was preparing to host a banquet for the officials’ wives of Liangdu in a few days, and asked them to get ready.
After hearing this, Yan Yihuan went to inform Sun Family and Yan Yile.
Sun Family imdiately beca joyful and hastily called for a maid to help Yan Yile select clothes and jewelry for the event.
Because they left in a hurry, most of their belongings were still in Lanwu Prefecture and after choosing for a long ti, they couldn’t find a piece of clothing that Sun Family was satisfied with.
Sun Family looked at Yan Yihuan: "What should we do, your sister has no suitable clothes?"
Yan Yihuan looked at the pile of dresses covering half the bed, stood up, and picked a set: "I think this is just fine, simple and elegant, it really suits Yile’s complexion."
Sun Family, dissatisfied: "Too plain is not good, your sister is going to look at prospective matches, of course, she needs to dress more brilliantly, otherwise how will people notice her?"
Yan Yihuan turned to Yan Yile: "Yile, what do you think?"
Yan Yile glanced at the clothes Yan Yihuan picked and said indifferently: "I’ll listen to mother."
Yan Yihuan was sowhat angry; these days, she had a clearer view of her sister. Whenever sothing didn’t go her way, she never directly stated her opinion, allowing mother to take the forefront and fight for her.
Yan Yihuan sternly put down the clothes: "Then there’s nothing that can be done; these are the only clothes you have, what else can you do?"
Sun Family spoke up: "Yihuan, why don’t you talk to Yiyi, ask her to bring so fabric for Yile to pick from, and then have the tailors make so new clothes for Yile."
Listening to such shaless words, Yan Yihuan was utterly exhausted and looked coldly at Sun Family: "Mother, I don’t have that much influence, if you think you can persuade elder sister, then go and ask for the fabric yourself, I’m not capable of that."
After saying that, she left with a stern face.
Sun Family saw her eldest daughter leaving abruptly and was quite upset: "This unfilial daughter! Never mind, I’ll go find Yiyi myself."
Only then did Yan Yile speak: "Mother, don’t go, we’ve been at the Prince Residence for half a month now, and elder sister has not once asked us to dine at the main courtyard."
"It’s clear they look down on us, why humiliate yourself?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Family felt disheartened and had no choice but to go back to picking clothes for Yan Yile again.
...
On the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month, the invited officials’ wives arrived early in the morning, and Han Xinran was there too; she was familiar with these families.
As Yan Yile ca with Sun Family and Yan Yihuan, seeing Daohua sitting in the richly decorated flower hall, surrounded by elegant and noble ladies, she felt particularly irritated.
Having been repeatedly scrutinized since her divorce, watching the greedy looks in the eyes of the won here made Yan Yile feel so disgusted she wanted to vomit.
She thought: why would elder sister be kind enough to help her? She must be using this as a way to humiliate her!
While others were cheerfully chatting, Yan Yile’s face grew increasingly unpleasant, and she stood up and left after sitting for less than two quarters of an hour.
Her departure made Daohua and Han Xinran frown.
This banquet was originally ant to help her look for a match, but with the guest of honor gone, what was supposed to happen?
Sun Family panicked; among the families present today, there were two or three she was satisfied with, why would Yile just walk away like that? She didn’t even try to make a good impression.
Yan Yihuan apologized with a smile: "My sister had a stomach upset last night and still feels a bit uncomfortable today, please don’t mind."
Han Xinran smiled and changed the subject.
On the other side, after Yan Yile ca out of the main courtyard, she aimlessly walked around the Prince Residence and soon found herself at Daozi’s playground.
"Brother, please give it back to ."
"I won’t give it to you, co and catch ."
"Little brother, catch."
"Brother, I will get you!"
"You guys still want to beat to death? Keep dreaming."
"I will ask daddy to get you."
"As if, daddy wouldn’t do that, he loves the most."
"Loves most."
In the courtyard, a six or seven-year-old boy was teasing two chubby toddlers.
The little boy was handso and sunny. Despite his young age, his noble aura was evident; the two toddlers, with red lips and white teeth, looked soft and cute, lting anyone’s heart.
"These must be big sister’s three children, right?"
Envy appeared in Yan Yile’s eyes, but thinking of her own lost child, her face quickly filled with resentnt and jealousy.
Why does big sister always get the best of everything?
The Wang Family has a good status and good looks, and he loves only her without any concubines; and now they even have these three adorable children, while him, he has everything.
Looking at the three children, Yan Yile inexplicably walked over.
The servants in the playground, recognizing that she was the Princess Consort’s sister, did not stop her.
Daozi was startled when he saw Yan Yile, and in the brief mont, the twins ran over and hugged his legs.
"Are you Auntie Four?"
Yan Yile didn’t expect Daozi to recognize her, but seeing his clear eyes, she couldn’t help but smile and nodded: "Yes, I am your Auntie Four."
Seeing that he had recognized the right person, Daozi imdiately smiled and said, "Hello, Auntie Four." Then, he motioned for the twins to greet her.
The twins blinked at Yan Yile and then in a milky voice said: "Hello, Auntie Four."
Seeing such cute and polite children, even Yan Yile’s mood began to brighten: "How do you know who I am?"
Daozi chuckled and said: "Mom told us. Auntie Four, why did you co here, did you get lost? Do you want to find soone to take you to my mom?"
Just as Yan Yile was about to say sothing, she heard a deep voice coming from behind her.
"Daozi, I told you not to bring your brother and sister to the playground to play, why don’t you ever listen?"
Yan Yile turned around and saw Xiao Yeyang walking briskly into the courtyard.
Watching Xiao Yeyang walking elegantly towards her, Yan Yile was sowhat dazed, her long-stilled heart beginning to stir once again.
"Daddy!"
Upon seeing Xiao Yeyang, Daomang, the little girl, imdiately opened her arms and ran over, and within a few steps was lifted up by Xiao Yeyang.
Daomang hugged her father’s neck, kissed him twice, and then sweetly said: "Daddy, I missed you so much, why did you only co now?" as if she had been parted from her father for a long ti.
Hearing his daughter’s baby voice, Xiao Yeyang’s eyes filled with indulgence, looking at his daughter’s affectionate face, feeling an endless surge of love: "Didn’t daddy co to find you?"
The tone was indescribably gentle.
At this mont, Daozi also ca forward with his brother to Xiao Yeyang.
Just as Xiao Yeyang was about to admonish Daozi, his eyes caught Yan Yile standing aside, and he politely nodded: "So it’s Auntie Four, why aren’t you in the flower hall?"
Yan Yile ca back from her thoughts: "I ca out for so air, and I just walked over here." Saying that, she bowed slightly, "Greetings, brother-in-law."
Xiao Yeyang humd in response, not asking anything further from Yan Yile, quickly summoned a maid: "Take Auntie Four back to the flower hall."
After giving instructions, he looked towards Yan Yile.
"You should head back to your sister’s place, I will take the children back now."
