Yueyao treats the Lian family as a temporary stopover at a post station, and she is adapting quite well. As for Xiang Wei, she’s complaining that the dishes aren’t fresh and the food isn’t tasty.
Yueyao looked at Xiang Wei, who was nitpicking, and said with a smile, "Bear with it for a few days. Once you beco the head of the household, you can buy whatever you want, the freshest of everything."
Xiang Wei thought Yueyao was being naive, "Families of high standing consu what their own manors produce. Why would they need to buy anything?" This wasn’t an exaggeration from Xiang Wei; like in the Marquis’ household, most of what was consud and used ca from their own manors.
Yueyao laughed and said, "My manor is a bit far." Her manor was nearly a hundred miles from the Capital City; making a trip would take a full day. Given the effort required, it was better to just buy things in the Capital City.
Xiang Wei chuckled and said, "Miss, what if there were a manor closer to the Capital City?"
Yueyao chuckled, knowing that buying a manor close to the Capital City wasn’t easy. If there were opportunities available, she would have already acquired one, instead of waiting until now.
Xiang Wei’s eyes sparkled, "You said it! If there’s a chance, don’t let it pass." Land near the Capital City is indeed rare and belongs to either the wealthy or the esteed.
Yueyao agreed readily.
Xiang Wei chuckled covertly, looking like a cat that had successfully stolen fish.
Yueyao showed Xiang Wei the design she had spent a whole day crafting, "What do you think?" Though called a painting, it was actually a design layout for a bedroom.
Xiang Wei glanced at it, "If you say it’s good, no one would dare say otherwise." Yueyao was considered an expert in this area, and Xiang Wei wouldn’t dare critique it.
Yueyao smiled and said, "The real effect can only be seen when it’s set up." After saying this, Yueyao turned to head to the wing room.
Xiang Wei, aware Yueyao was preparing to continue making clothes, comnted purposely, "I used to think the young lady wouldn’t change after marriage and would remain a painting enthusiast. Now it seems I was wrong, after marriage the young lady would surely be a skilled housewife and mother."
Yueyao turned her head seriously and said, "Actually, aside from becoming a Great Painter, my other dream is to beco a skilled housewife and mother." Becoming a Great Painter was a lifeti dream; being a skilled housewife and mother was a dream from a past life.
Xiang Wei was left speechless.
With Yueyao setting an example as their mistress, the maids Xi Yu and Xi Juan were all very diligent. In just one day, the four maids managed to cut the clothes.
When Yueyao entered, Xi Juan had already started sewing. Yueyao smiled slightly, "Great, we don’t need to waste the remaining gold and silver threads."
Ruo Cui entered and said, "Miss, the Second Young Lady has returned to the Lian Mansion and is now with the Second Young Madam." Returning to one’s parental ho is different from visiting others; generally, you don’t need to send an invitation in advance, a ssage is enough.
Yueyao got the news last night and knew that Yuebing would co today, so she was ntally prepared. Yueyao was ready to go directly over.
Xi Yu gently reminded, "Miss, you should change your clothes!" Xi Yu reminded Yueyao because Yueyao had changed clothes when visiting Lian Dongfang.
Yueyao shook her head with a smile, "No need."
At the courtyard entrance, Yuebing erged from inside.
Yuebing was dressed in a bright red silk jacket embroidered with many butterflies, paired with a gold-infused pleated skirt. The ruby five-phoenix sun-facing pearl hairpin on her head was dazzling, with two Phoenix head-shaking hair ornants on each side; the cat’s eye stone earrings sparkled with changing light. This attire made her look luxurious and noble.
Yueyao noticed Yuebing’s healthy complexion and knew she was doing well now.
Yuebing took Yueyao’s hand, smiling warmly, "I don’t know how you grow, third younger sister, you beco more beautiful year by the year."
Yueyao smiled gently, "Second sister is flattering . In terms of beauty, I wouldn’t dare compare with you." Yuebing’s features were strikingly beautiful, previously considered quite attractive, but with excellent self-maintenance, not only was her skin snow-like, her figure was also alluringly curvy. After giving birth, her chest beca fuller while her waist remained as slender as before, her figure seed to have improved.
Yuebing was delighted, "Today I realized how sweet your words are, third sister, let’s go inside." Yueyao’s attitude gave Yuebing a sense of relief, she was worried that Yueyao might be cold and distant, making it hard to start a conversation.
As they walked, Yuebing said, "The child caught a bit of wind yesterday, so I didn’t dare bring her over today."
Yueyao didn’t mind, knowing a mother wouldn’t let her child take any risks: "Has the child been nad?" Yueyao knew Yuebing had a daughter.
Generally, won hope for a son, Yuebing wished for a son after marriage, but that child was like a second chance for her, so she cherished her daughter greatly: "The Marquis hasn’t chosen a given na yet but picked a nickna, Anan." Anan, implying hopes for peace and safety.
