Chapter 196 Everyone has their own thoughts
This woman, Wu Yanrui, originally came from a wealthy family.
Her father, Manager Wu, ran Wu’s Dim Sum Shop, which was quite famous in the capital and had a booming business.
However, things don't always go as planned. Shopkeeper Wu suddenly fell seriously ill and eventually passed away.
After his death, Wu Ji became a target and soon the shop changed hands.
Later, Wu Yanrui learned that her shop had long been targeted by Prince Shun, and even her father's death might not be that simple.
Wu Yanrui was only ten years old at that time. The wheel of fate turned upside down. She felt like she was falling into an ice cellar. Overnight, she went from being a pampered rich lady to a poor person. Her life changed drastically.
From then on, she had to depend on her mother for support. Her mother relied on needlework to barely make ends meet for both mother and daughter, and their life was very difficult.
Although Wu Yanrui was born into a wealthy family, she suffered a lot after her family fell into poverty.
She was filled with resentment towards those powerful but wicked people, and she hated everyone and everything related to the Heshun Palace.
However, with her beauty, she was unwilling to marry into an ordinary family, and even a real official family would not accommodate her.
For slightly wealthier families, the matchmakers would always talk about marrying her as a concubine, and the men were old enough to be her father.
It was after Mo Feng knew all this that he secretly ordered someone to push her in front of Madam Xie.
Sure enough, Madam Xie was very happy when she saw her.
This woman's mind and appearance were exactly what she wanted.
In order to make this happen, he even carefully planned an encounter between Wu Yanrui and Ye Wenbo.
Wu Yanrui deliberately appeared in the teahouse that Ye Wenbo often visited.
Every time she saw Ye Wenbo, she would show just the right amount of surprise and shyness. After a while, Ye Wenbo, who was originally in a depressed mood, was actually attracted to Wu Yanrui.
There was no way. Even though he was extremely decadent now, there were still people looking at him with admiration and adoration. Ye Wenbo really couldn't help but be moved.
Especially this person, she is actually a young woman with great looks.
After Ye Wenbo was attracted to Wu Yanrui, he often thought of her in his heart.
Wu Yanrui also realized that she had successfully attracted Ye Wenbo's attention, so she used her charm more skillfully.
At the Ye Mansion, Old Madam Ye noticed that something was wrong with Ye Wenbo. Her son had stayed indoors for a few days, but recently he had been leaving early and sometimes even stayed out all night.
She found an opportunity and waited for Ye Wenbo to return in the evening to ask him what had happened.
Ye Wenbo was reluctant to mention it at first, but under Mrs. Ye's repeated questioning, he had to tell her that he met Wu Yanrui in the teahouse.
When Mrs. Ye heard this, her face suddenly darkened, and she cursed her son in her heart for not living up to her expectations.
"Wenbo, don't let those women of unknown origins confuse your mind. Liu hasn't been coaxed back yet, so how can you easily associate with a woman whose background you don't know?"
Ye Wenbo disagreed.
"Mother, Yanrui is not the woman you imagined. She is well-educated, well-mannered, and elegant. Although she comes from a poor family, she has an extraordinary temperament."
Madam Ye snorted coldly.
"Humph, what do you know? There are countless women in this world who want to get close to our Ye family. You can't be fooled by appearances."
"Clinging to the rich and powerful, what can our Ye family cling to? Mother is probably overthinking."
Ye Wenbo has been dissatisfied with Old Madam Ye for a long time. Ever since his mother came to Beijing, the mansion has been in a mess all day long.
These few days, he has been with Yanrui every day and feels like he is alive again.
Despite Madam Ye's objection, Ye Wenbo still secretly met with Wu Yanrui.
Old Madam Ye was unwilling to give up and was still thinking about finding other matchmakers to mediate the reconciliation. However, after what happened with Madam Xie, no matchmaker in the capital dared to go to the Liu Mansion.
Some people even tried to comfort Old Madam Ye.
"Old Madam, you should be more open-minded. Madam Liu is no longer the same as before. I'm afraid these two families are not suitable. It would be better for you to save some money and marry a new wife! After all, the Ye family is too small."
"Yes, after all, Mr. Ye is old, so you should make some plans early!"
These people were making sarcastic remarks openly and secretly, and every word they said hurt Madam Ye's heart.
Old Madam Ye was a little hesitant. Although she didn't like Wu Yanrui, a woman of unknown origin, if her son really got married, it would be a way to save some face!
Just as Madam Ye was thinking about it, some servants in the Ye Mansion began to whisper behind her back.
Some said that Wu Yanrui was as beautiful as a fairy and that Master Ye really liked her;
Some say that Wu Yanrui is scheming and wants to climb up the social ladder.
These discussions gradually reached the ears of Old Madam Ye.
Old Madam Ye was feeling annoyed. She thought that if she forcibly stopped Ye Wenbo from interacting with Wu Yanrui, it might cause her son to be disgusted.
But if she let Wu Yanrui enter the house like this, she would really feel uneasy.
However, within a few days, Ye Wenbo took the initiative to bring up the matter of Wu Yanrui entering the mansion. The reason was simply that he took advantage of her body after getting drunk.
After Ye Wenbo sobered up, he felt distressed because drinking had caused him trouble. However, seeing the woman in his arms crying, he couldn't bear it and promised to welcome her home.
"Mother, Miss Yanrui is a kind-hearted woman, please don't make things difficult for her. She is also pitiful, and if she enters the mansion in the future, she will definitely be filial to you."
Madam Ye glared at him.
"Wenbo, you are really obsessed with that woman. Forget it, if you really like her, let her come into the mansion as a concubine. However, you have to discipline her well. If she dares to do anything out of line, I will not let her off easily."
Ye Wenbo was overjoyed.
"Thank you, mother. Yanrui will definitely be filial to you."
When Ye Wenbo heard his mother's agreement, he immediately welcomed Wu Yanrui into the house and couldn't wait to tell her the news.
When Wu Yanrui learned that she could enter the Ye Mansion as a concubine, she looked happy, but she didn't care in her heart.
Humph, you really think that his Ye family is a family of officials.
Concubine?
Ye Wenbo really had the nerve to speak.
However, he wouldn't think that I should be grateful to him just because I became his concubine, right?
If he thought that he could let me be his concubine first and then marry him as his principal wife in the future, I'm afraid he was thinking wrongly.
The reason why she married Ye Wenbo was because he came from a family of scholars and had a small family. If she got the opportunity in the future, she would have a chance to turn her life around.
After hearing about the farce at the Ye family, Ye Xiaoxiao didn't take it to heart.
I snorted coldly in my heart, this scumbag father is really a complete scumbag!
In just a few days, he has found a new love. Fortunately, my mother is sober, otherwise, he would have come to propose marriage a few days ago, and in the blink of an eye, he is so affectionate with someone else. It's really disgusting.
She turned around and said to Chunxi,
"Sister Chunxi, let's just wait and see. I wonder how long this beautiful woman that this scumbag father has been dreaming of marrying will be able to enjoy the sweetness. In the future, she will have enough fun to watch and I'm afraid she won't have time to bother mother."
