Ye
Qiu
, accompanied by Ye Lingling, appeared directly at the main gate.
As soon as they appeared
, a beautiful woman came to greet them.
This time, Ye Qingshui was also accompanied by two maids.
Therefore,
Ye Qingshui was very gentle and dignified.
Upon seeing Ye Qiu and Ye Lingling, she walked gracefully over
, ignoring Ye Lingling and directly grabbing Ye Qiu's hand.
"Xiao Qiu, you've finally arrived! Aunt Ye thought you were going to stand me up."
"How could I?"
Ye Qiu struggled slightly, responding with a dry laugh.
Ye Qingshui's smile was kind and bright; the more she looked at Ye Qiu, the more satisfied she became.
"Since you're here, don't stand at the door. Come in quickly; Aunt Ye has already prepared the food."
"Aunt Ye... I... I can walk by myself."
Under Ye Qingshui's pull,
Ye Qiu, mindful of her elder, couldn't struggle and had
no choice but to follow her.
Turning back to look at Ye Lingling, who was still standing there, she reminded her,
"Aunt Ye, Lingling is still over there."
Ye Qinshui paused.
Turning back to look at her daughter, her face showed a hint of reproach.
Or perhaps she had just remembered her.
"Oh~ you silly child, what are you still standing there for? You need your mother to come and invite you to your own home, right?
Hurry up and go, or the food will get cold." "
Having said that,
without waiting for Ye Lingling's reply, she pulled Ye Qiu and walked into the mansion.
Ye Qiu turned back and gave Ye Lingling an awkward smile.
Under her veil,
Ye Lingling's face flushed red, almost laughing in anger.
She was Ye Lingling's biological daughter, wasn't she?
But seeing how much Ye Qingshui cared for Ye Qiu, she felt a strange sense of joy.
This proved that her initial judgment was indeed quite good.
Even her own mother found Ye Qiu's appearance pleasing to the eye. Ye Lingling followed quickly,
her heart filled with complicated feelings. As she followed, Ye Lingling suddenly felt something was amiss. The dining area didn't seem to be in that direction, did it? This road seemed to lead to... Ye Lingling was startled, then her teeth itched with anger, her ears practically bleeding. "This is too much!" Her little feet stomped on the ground. She hurriedly ran over. ... Ye Qiu was pulled by Ye Qinshui. They arrived at a room that didn't seem like a dining room. Although there was a small square table in the middle of the room, there was also an antique-style bed against the wall, with pink bedding and curtains. Not far away was an odd dressing table, next to which was a screen with some clothes belonging to young girls hanging on it. A familiar, elegant fragrance filled the air . This looked like a bedroom, didn't it? Ye Qiu was about to ask Ye Qinshui. "Aunt Ye, this is it." "Yes! This is it. Please sit down quickly." " Ye Qinshui quickly interjected, pressing Ye Qiu down onto the stool placed beside the table. After Ye Qiu sat down, he noticed something was amiss. He hadn't sat on such a cold stool in a long time. Looking down, he saw—good heavens, it really was a stool, an extra-long one at that! He also understood why the dressing table was acting strangely—there was no stool next to it! "Aunt Ye." "Xiao Qiu, you sit down first. Aunt Ye will go see why that brat isn't coming over yet."

Ye Qinshui interrupted Ye Qiu again, walking outside as she spoke.
She directed the servants to methodically bring the dishes she had prepared to the table.
Ye Qiu watched Ye Qinshui's retreating figure
and smiled helplessly.
Braised beef, braised pork hock, sweet and sour pork ribs, stir-fried pork with chili peppers, and taro and cabbage soup—
all her favorite dishes?
And why were these maids looking at her like she was their mistress?
Outside the door,
Ye Qinshui finally finished arranging everything.
Then she saw Ye Lingling hiding to the side. She
was instantly furious.
"I've been busy with your marriage, and you're just standing here like an idiot!"
Ye Qinshui strode forward.
Before she could speak, Ye Lingling couldn't hold back any longer.
"Mom! What are you doing? Why...why did you take Ye Qiu to my room?!"
Ye Lingling's pretty face flushed red, her fists clenched tightly.
"I'm so annoyed by this mother!"
Ye Qinshui, however, didn't seem to care.
She was doing all this for her daughter; after it was all done, her daughter would be thanking her profusely.
She pouted,
"Tch, you're never home. That room's just sitting empty anyway. Our dining room's under renovation today, and I'm too lazy to clean the other rooms, so I'll have to borrow yours for a bit."
Ye Qinshui's tone was
somewhat resentful, clearly annoyed that Ye Lingling was often away from home.
"You...you should have asked me first!"
Ye Lingling gritted her teeth angrily.
She had never shown so much emotion before.
Renovation? Just an excuse!
"Haha, my dear daughter, it's harmless for Mom to make decisions for you occasionally."
"Besides, Xiao Qiu isn't exactly an outsider, is she?"
Ye Qinshui hugged her daughter's arm.
Ye Lingling frowned: "Mom, what do you mean?" "
Alright, don't just stand here like an idiot, hurry up and go inside to eat. You'll thank me later."
Ye Qinshui didn't answer Ye Lingling, but instead smiled and pulled her into the room.
She knew her daughter well; if she really didn't like the man inside, she would probably have already thrown a tantrum and threatened to sever their mother-daughter relationship.
Ye Lingling bit her red lips.
She wanted to refuse, but her legs seemed to move uncontrollably towards her bedroom.
Just thinking about her mother's purpose
made her heart pound faster and faster.
"Xiao Qiu, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. My troublesome daughter isn't very bright; she even gets lost at home."
"Mom, don't talk nonsense!"
Ye Lingling gritted her teeth.
How could anyone talk about their daughter like that in front of others?
"Uh, Aunt Ye, don't joke around."
Ye Qiu chuckled awkwardly.
Although she was in her own bedroom, Ye Lingling felt extremely uncomfortable.
Her gaze fell on the table.
Seeing a small stool opposite Ye Qiu, she was about to sit down.
"Hey, you little brat, this is my seat, yours is here."
Ye Qinshui pulled Ye Lingling,
making her sit on the same long bench as Ye Qiu.
Then Ye Qinshui sat down opposite them, a gentle smile on her face.
"Alright, alright, Qiu, Lingling, let's eat quickly, so as not to delay your afternoon plans."
"Yes, thank you, Aunt Ye."
Ye Qiu nodded slightly and picked up her chopsticks.
Ye Lingling, sitting beside her, removed her veil, revealing a delicate face flushed with a lingering blush.
Ye Qiu gave her a surprised look, and she lowered her head guiltily.
"What's wrong with you, girl? Can't you even relax at home?" Ye Qinshui rolled her eyes at Ye Lingling, putting some food in her bowl.
Ye Lingling picked up her chopsticks with difficulty.
This is her boudoir; she hasn't even put her clothes away yet!
