Chapter 4 The Trap Set By Ye Wanfu
Suppressing the hatred in her heart, Ye Muxi clenched her fists.
At this moment, she was not disfigured, and her mother and brother were still alive. She hasn’t encountered Huangfu Sheng yet, and her identity as a daughter of a wife in Marquis Mansion hasn’t come true. She stayed thousands of miles away from the capital city.
God had the conscience to allow her rebirth, and for this time, she pledged to protect her family, leaving no regrets.
For all those foes in her previous life, she would chop them herself, never missing anyone of them!
“The Fourth Miss, what are you doing? Please go, hurry up.” Aunt Gui was pushing her impatiently.
Ye Muxi finally collected her attention, frowned at Aunt Gui, but said nothing.
Aunt Gui was taking in charge of all the affairs running in the West Four Yard, and she was the most favored one in the First Lady’s eyes. If Ye Muxi were a daughter of the wife in Marquis Mansion, she could punish this lawless slave who offended the superior directly. But she dared not to offend her based on who she was now.
“Hold on a second, Aunt Gui, I need to change clothes. My mother will stay to help me, and all the rest can leave.” Ye Muxi said calmly, in a very patient and indifferent voice. Although she used to be a precious daughter in the Marquis Mansion in her previous life, she was now an unpopular Fourth Miss. If she continued to brag herself as the precious daughter, then she would be a dead body.
She should keep in a low profile and attain her goal in slow motion.
Aunt Gui said with a detesting voice, “Then hurry, do it fast.”
Other handmaidens followed her to leave.
"Dear Mother." Ye Muxi looked at the plain woman sitting beside her, oppressing her agitation with all her strength, but her eyes still turned to red.
After that fire, she was so regretful that she had never called Li Mingyu as “mother” once, and she yelled that term in front of her mother’s tomb for a whole night, but the consequence was irreversible.
God was really on her side, allowing her to be reborn and reunify with her families.
“What...what did you call me?” Lin Mingyu said in surprise. She couldn’t believe it. She knew Ye Muxi had never taken her as a mother since the First Lady kept brainwashing her, and Ye Muxi never showed a happy and patient face to her.
Ye Muxi felt disheartening, “Mother, I owed you so much.”
“Oh, my darling daughter, I thought I misheard.” Lin Mingyu’s eyes were red too, and she looked so gratified.
Ye Muxi then said, “Mum, I will talk details to you later. Now I need to visit Old Lady. Thanks mum, for helping me prepare the embroidery.”
This scene finally jogged her memory. Five years ago, she was living in Family Ye in Jiang State. Generation after generation, Family Ye possessed the state as a wealthy family, and all the daughters in this generation were extraordinary. There were five misses of wives and two daughters of concubines, and they were all given birth by four women in Family Ye.
Half a month ago, the Old Lady was in high spirits, so she gave a test to all the misses to examine the progress they had made in embroidery, and today was the day to present their products.
Ye Muxi was not terrible nor outstanding in embroidery. But Ye Wanfu was worried that her poor performance might beget Old Lady’s criticism, so she asked Ye Muxi to embroider a relatively poor work deliberately, and she had the reason----The power wouldn’t punish a large number of offenders, and they would share this together.
Ye Wanfu was Ye Wanrou’s younger sister, and they were both the daughter of the First Lady. Ye Muxi was brought up by the First Lady, so she listened to every word they uttered.
Ye Muxi was betrayed by Ye Wanfu in her previous life, and she made a poorly-made product to correspond to their sister-ship.
It was her mother Lin Mingyu, who worried that she would be punished and criticized by the Old Lady, so she embroidered another one for Ye Muxi to hand over. Lin Mingyu was outstanding in embroidering as she was instructed by a professional embroidering woman working in the Palace. But in the previous life, Ye Muxi was loyal to friends, so she refused this suggestion directly, and said with sarcasm that Lin Mingyu was cheating, which was not a lady should behave.
The result was, Ye Wanfu had asked someone to make a perfect product for her, and Ye Muxi was judged as the unbearably worst among the five daughters of wives. Moreover, unfortunately, there were visitors in Family Ye.
The Old Lady invited guests to appreciate the young generations’ embroidered products and planned to show off how outstanding their misses were, but unexpectedly, she lost her face due to Ye Muxi.
Out of anger, Old Lady beat Ye Muxi 20 times sticks and grounded her for three months, and never liked her anymore.
