Transmigrated as the Treacherous Official's Childhood Sweetheart-Chapter 353 - 352: Other Thoughts

Zheng Yuling, who had been standing beside Ye Lin without speaking, took a step forward to speak on Ah Zhi’s behalf. She squinted and smiled, saying, "Mother, Ah Zhi is naturally intelligent and sharp-tongued. Even at a young age, she has a certain insight. This time she managed to handle things on her own and go to Dragon Tiger Mountain, which already places her above many noblewomen in the capital and deserves praise. Having just returned from Dragon Tiger Mountain, she must be tired. Why not let her go back to Qingyi Garden to freshen up and rest?"

It has been a year since she married into the Ye Mansion, and yet there is no news from her womb.

Her father’s official position was that of a Golden Purple Guanglu Doctor, Third Grade in the court.

Zheng Yuling was dignified and beautiful, graceful and elegant, with rounded eyes and willow leaf eyebrows. Though not overly stunning, she gave off a sense of pure elegance and was easy to get along with.

On ordinary days, the relationships between sisters-in-law and mothers-in-law were harmonious.

Ye Zhi gained an advantage and still acted coy, shouting, "Sister-in-law is still nice to me, unlike someone whose blood is thicker than water, always trying to frame his own sister."

Ye Lin rolled up his sleeves, about to argue back when his wife pinched his arm, murmuring softly, "Ah Zhi has just returned, don’t bicker with her."

He could only murmur resentfully, "I won’t argue with you."

After bidding farewell to the elders in the hall, Ye Zhi pulled Huanhuan and Qinglian and headed towards Qingyi Garden.

The few young girls left, chattering incessantly, very lively.

Tingling Garden was still vacant, and the Ye Family had people occasionally clean it to make it convenient for Shen Chen to stay upon his return.

Today it was being used again.

He returned in a rush, without time to prepare personnel, so a clever young maid from the estate named Qiu Wan was assigned to serve him.

There was also his previous maid Qiushuang, along with two additional young attendants assigned there.

Qiu Wan, at the tender age of fourteen, entered the Ye Mansion shortly after Shen Chen left for Dragon Tiger Mountain, never having seen such an elegant and handsome man, instantly making her heart yearn.

She clung to the married Qiushuang, eagerly inquiring about him, showing great interest.

Qiushuang, knowing well the young girl’s thoughts, her eyes flickered slightly, and she solemnly said, "Don’t ask too much about the master’s affairs. Young Master Chen is not someone you can dream of."

The warning was clear.

Young Master Chen, now studying under the State Preceptor from Dragon Tiger Mountain, was a Guanshan Disciple. He possessed a celestial appearance, standing alone like a towering mountain, magnificent as a jade peak. Though without an official position, judging by his character, his future was boundless.

Qiushuang glanced at the well-figured, pretty-faced Qiu Wan and shook her head.

A mere maid with nothing to her name, lacking self-awareness.

It seemed the Ye Mansion could not contain such a lofty ambition!

After hearing this, Qiu Wan’s interest only grew, "What did I dream about Young Master Chen? I saw such a handsome man for the first time and wanted to know more. Does Young Master Chen have a concubine in the garden?"

Qiushuang was startled, looking around Tingling Garden, relieved no one was passing by, then angrily glared, "You’re just a maid, why inquire about the master’s matters? Even if there isn’t one, it won’t be your turn. Keep your thoughts clean; if something happens, I can’t protect you."

Just assigned to Young Master Chen, the first thing she wanted to know was if he had a concubine. The young girl’s intentions were clear.

The words were direct, not the slightest tact, straight to the point.

The young Qiu Wan slightly furrowed her brows, scoffing at her companion’s tension.

"I was just asking. As a young maid, how could I have such thoughts?"

"Besides, Young Master Chen surely wouldn’t fancy me, right?"
