C17 Greetings

Ye Zixuan had been called out by her personal maid early in the morning. Her injuries had already been healed. Under Maid Qin's reminder, she prepared to pay her respects to Baroness.

Although she was unwilling, there was nothing she could do about it. If she did not pay her respects to Baroness, then not to mention what would happen to Baroness, even Fourth Master would be unhappy.

This was the helplessness of being a concubine. It was also the sorrow of an ancient woman.

Ye Zixuan's heart had just been slightly moved by Fourth Master's gentleness, but now it had turned cold again.

He was, after all, an ancient man, and a married man, and she was only his concubine.

What is a concubine? A fertility tool, a defecation tool, a slave that could be killed and sold at will.

Having fallen to such a low status, Ye Zixuan felt helpless. She couldn't change her identity, but she could still protect her heart.

She had her dignity and pride. She would never allow herself to be like a resentful wife, who would turn ferocious for the sake of a man's little love. She would plot this today and frame that tomorrow.

Ye Zixuan washed her face and makeup before heading to the main courtyard.

Today, she was wearing a light blue dress embroidered with a few elegant clumps of lily. She had a small head combed with two silver pearl hairpins and a pair of dark blue embroidered shoes on her feet.

Ye Zixuan's clothes were elegant and fresh, making her seem very low-key amongst the group of women dressed in red and green.

However, the thing that kept a low profile was only the color itself. Ye Zixuan, in the midst of a group of brightly dressed people, deliberately kept a low profile.

Ye Zixuan's eyes flashed with a hint of regret as she glanced at the crowd's attire. Fourth Master happened to notice it and a faint smile appeared in his cold eyes.

He understood her personality. She never liked to brag, but she didn't know. As long as he was present, which one of these women didn't have to be within the limits of their status to dress up themselves?

"Servant Ye Zixuan, greet master and Baroness."

Ye Zixuan used the etiquette taught by Maid Qin to respectfully greet him.

She lowered her head to hide her disappointment. Fourth Master had rested in the main courtyard last night, which was why she didn't want to give him her heart. This ancient man had three wives and four concubines, she didn't want to be one of them.

"Get up. Have you recovered from your injuries?" Fourth Master asked even though he knew the answer. He knew that she had recovered a long time ago, but since she was taking advantage of her injuries to avoid being in a peaceful environment, he hinted to Maid Qin to urge her to come and rest.

Only then would he be able to stay the night in the open. Otherwise, others would laugh at her, saying that she was hurt and still restless.

If he stayed the night, and she hadn't come to pay respects to Baroness, everyone would probably say that she had been pampered.

"Thank you for your concern, sir. My body is fine now."

"My little sister's injuries are not light. I must take good care of myself to prevent her from falling ill in the future." Baroness said with concern.

Just now, Ye Zixuan had glanced at Baroness. She was graceful, dressed extravagantly, and had a dignified appearance.

It was obvious from one look at her appearance that she was her legal wife, because no man would take a woman of such looks as a concubine.

"That's right, little sister must take good care of herself. Don't always get sick today, and get injured tomorrow. Speaking of which, little sister has been in constant trouble ever since she entered the mansion." Should I pick a time to go to the temple and burn some incense? "

Mrs. Lee covered her mouth as she smiled, but there was no trace of a smile in her large almond-shaped eyes.

Ye Zixuan turned her eyes and looked at the woman that Fourth Master loved the most in the legends.

He saw that her eyebrows were like the crescent moon, her apricot eyes were like that of a crescent moon, and her cheeks were like peaches. Her skin was white and voluptuous, and there was an amorous feeling flowing through her entire body.

No wonder she was able to give Fourth Master three sons and a daughter, even though only one son and one daughter managed to reach adulthood.

However, based on her impatient nature, Fourth Master was probably the reason why she was able to protect her son and daughter.

"Since Mrs. Lee is so concerned about Mrs. Ye, it shows how deep the affection between sisters is. Then, you can copy the Medicine Scripture ten times for her to cure the disease." Fourth Master said plainly.

The moment Fourth Master said this, everyone's expression changed drastically. Mrs. Lee's face turned pale as she pinched the tender flesh of her palm with her hands hidden under her sleeves.

A trace of a smile flashed across Fourth Baroness's eyes. At the same time, her fear of Ye Zixuan deepened.

Ye Zixuan's heart was sweet and bitter when she heard Fourth Master's words. What was sweet was his undisguised preference in front of the crowd. She was also troubled by this preference, which made her countless enemies.

"Grandpa, Baroness, Eldest Prince come pay respects to you."

The maidservant outside the door reported loudly.

"Let him in."

When Eldest Prince was mentioned, Fourth Master's expression softened.

Eldest Prince and Honghui were the children of Superior Baroness and Mrs. Uranalas. They were six years old this year and had already started studying in the study room.

Honghui was so young and she already had a calm temperament. Her young face was forty to fifty percent similar to Fourth Master's, but her actions and behavior were more or less the same.

He slowly walked up to Fourth Master and Fourth Baroness and gave them a proper salute. When Fourth Baroness saw Honghui, happiness had appeared on her cold and dignified face. She pulled Honghui's hand and asked about their warmth.

Fourth Master was silent as he looked at the scene of their filial son being filial.

He turned to look at Ye Zixuan, only to see that she was staring at Honghui in a daze.

He thought that she was jealous of Baroness for having a son and wanted a child of her own. He thought that he should go to her place and rest, so that she could become pregnant as soon as possible.

"Master, it's getting late." Su Peisheng reminded Fourth Master in a low voice.

"I'm going to the court." Fourth Master said to Baroness as he glanced at Ye Zixuan again.

Everyone sent him off in unison.

Seeing that Fourth Master was about to leave, Ye Zixuan became anxious and quickly said, "Master, please wait!"

Everyone was shocked. Fourth Master also turned around and looked at her in surprise.

Ye Zixuan hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth and quickly walked forward. Leaning close to Fourth Master's ear, she whispered something.

When Fourth Master heard this, his face darkened. He coldly swept a glance at the crowd. Everyone who was hit by his gaze felt chills down their spines. Especially those who felt guilty and lowered their heads, afraid that Fourth Master would see through it.

"Mrs. Ye, Baroness, Honghui, stay behind. Everyone else, stand down!" Su Peisheng, go and help this grandpa take his leave of absence. "

Everyone quickly fled as if they had been chased by a ghost. They were all wondering what Mrs. Ye had said to this grandpa.
