C3 Concubine Qiao

She had not slept for the entire night. When she was helped up by Fei Xiu, it was already raining heavily outside. After Ye Yuning finished her breakfast, the raindrops were so heavy that they could be heard on the steps outside the house.

Today was the fifteenth of the month. According to the rules of the Ye Residence, they had to go and pay their respects to the old mistress, but the rain was too heavy today, so the old mistress did not have to go to the Ping Jing Garden to pay her respects.

In her previous life, Ye Yuning did not like this grandmother very much. Firstly, it was because the grandmother hated her. Secondly, in her previous life, after Li Changle's incident, she immediately agreed to Concubine Qiao's suggestion to marry Li Changle.

If it wasn't for her father's strong opposition, with the things she had done to Li Changle, she probably wouldn't have lived for even a year in the Li Residence.

"Miss, this is the book you wanted." Fei Qing stood up from the box beside the book, slowly moved to Ye Yuning's side, placed the dusty book in her hand on a round stool, then quickly jumped away and coughed violently.

Just then, Fei Xiu came in with an oil paper umbrella with a blue and white crane painted on it. She looked at the little girl Fei Qing strangely, picked up a book from the stool, and flipped it open. When she saw the words "searching for fragrance," she frowned and asked Ye Yuning, "Miss, is this the formula for making incense?"

"Yes. I want to learn incense." Ye Yuning raised her eyebrows and smiled. She took the incense formula from Fei Xiu's hands and did not explain much. She glanced at the umbrella in Fei Xiu's hand and flipped open the yellow incense formula. She read it bit by bit, "The rain will be a little less in a while. Let's go to Ping Jing Garden."

If it wasn't for the fact that those people couldn't find the inheritance left by her grandfather for her mother in her previous life, she would never have thought that this box of books was the so-called inheritance that her grandfather had left for her mother.

Lady Wen used incense to make a big name for herself in the previous dynasty. Later on, the dynasty changed, and the Wen Mansion became the main business of incense. It continued to do business all the way to the number one imperial merchant in the Great Liang. Later on, when her grandfather's generation came, they suddenly left the position of imperial merchant. There was no news of their business. Some people said that the Wen Family was so rich that it could rival the country and caused the Imperial Family to be suspicious of the Wen Family, which weakened the Wen Family.

However, she guessed that it was not the case. Otherwise, why would someone say that her grandfather had given her mother a huge inheritance before he died?

While she was thinking,

Fei Qing suddenly jumped up.

"Ping Jing Garden? I can't go!" Fei Qing's face was filled with fear, "Today, the old mistress is not feeling well, and the second master is angry at the old mistress. It is said that he is currently furious, and even the fifth young lady was chased out!"

The fifth young lady was her cousin sister, Ye Yuying. In the family, she was the third daughter, and she was older than Ye Yuying by one year. Ye Yuying was the fifth daughter.

In these years, there were four or five daughters in the Ye Residence. Other than the third wife's fourth daughter, Ye Yuchu, who was the direct descendant of the third wife, Ye Yuying, was the concubine. The old mistress loved her very much. In her previous life, she had heard that whenever the old mistress was ill, Ye Yuying would always be smiling when she went to the front of the house. The anger caused by the rheumatism immediately reduced by half. What happened at the Ping Jing Garden? She didn't expect that even she would be chased out this time!

"Is it that serious?" Ye Yuning's face was filled with surprise, "Yu Ying Su is the most pampered one, Grandmother dotes on her the most, don't make up lies to play with me."

"Really! I won't lie to Miss!" Fei Qing became anxious, "I heard it from Hui Lan. She came back from Lotus Fragrance Garden this morning and heard the noise inside talking about money and marriage. Then, she also heard the old mistress throw something."

"Hui Lan?" Ye Yuning originally wanted to tease Fei Qing, but she didn't expect to hear this name. She immediately looked up at Fei Qing and asked, "Isn't Hui Lan the girl who always wore the lotus leaf green clothes beside Mother? I saw her once when I went to see Mother last time. Why did she go to Lotus Fragrance Garden so early in the morning?"

"That's her. Aunt Liu helped the old mistress to check the inventory the day before yesterday. She was short of hands, so she asked Madam for help." Fei Xiu nodded and explained to Ye Yuning.

Understanding, Ye Yuning turned her gaze back to the fragrance book in her hand.

So it turned out that Hui Lan and Aunt Liu were already on the same side a long time ago. How could she be blind to think that Hui Lan and Aunt Liu's relationship was normal?

Seeing that the raindrops outside the window had lessened, Ye Yuning changed into a blue mandarin dress that was embroidered with jade orchids. She let Fei Qing help her tie up a ponytail and wore a white jade hairpin that was carved into the shape of a spirit crane. She took the hairpin.

She held the umbrella in her hand and walked towards the Ping Jing Garden where the old mistress lived.

Ye Yuning had just entered the Ping Jing Garden and had yet to reach the long corridor when she heard the angry shout of the old mistress.

"What are you thinking about!"

"What a blockhead! I told you to be more polite, but you just didn't listen. This is good!"

"If the old master comes back, you, you, and you will all be punished to death!"

She put away the umbrella under the corridor. Before she even entered the door, she saw the Nanny Jiang who had been serving her for a long time.

"Nanny Jiang." Ye Yuning greeted her with a smile.

Ye Yuning really treated this Nanny Jiang as an elder. When she was married, her parents died, her reputation was in a mess, and the old mistress refused to send her to the sedan chair. She even took away a group of servants other than Fei Xiu and Fei Qing, and in the end, Nanny Jiang begged for mercy and brought two servants to help her dress up, personally sending her to the sedan chair.

At that time, her father and mother were killed, and she was accused of killing her parents. If it wasn't for Nanny Jiang, she would have died a long time ago and would never be able to see the truth.

"There's a commotion inside. Third Miss, you should go back." Nanny Jiang shook her head and sighed, "Second Master is really muddleheaded. He believes whatever the concubine Qiao says. It's really … Sigh."

"Second Uncle?" Ye Yuning was puzzled, "What's wrong with Second Uncle?"

She did not know much about the second house, but her second uncle had always been a disappointment. He spent his days drinking and having sex, and occasionally did some business. He would listen to the nonsense of others and do whatever he wanted. He would do whatever he could to earn money, and he would do whatever he could to earn money. Other than losing money, he would only lose money.

"Third Miss, don't worry about it. Go back." Worryingly looking back, Nanny Jiang waved her hand. She really did not want Ye Yuning to get involved in this matter. "Fei Xiu, hurry up and bring Third Miss back."

"Get out!"

"Isn't this Yuning?"

Just as she finished speaking, she heard an angry shout from the room. The door behind Nanny Jiang suddenly opened, and a person walked out. She was wearing a purple embroidered peony dress and a white cloth on her shoulders. When she spoke, her tone was long and drawn out. If it wasn't the concubine Qiao, who else could it be?
