However, this couldnât be kept from the old Yang family members who lived in the same courtyard. They all wondered how the third branch of the family had become so wealthy lately, seeing carts of goods being brought home as if it didnât cost a thing. They wondered how much all of this had cost.
However, even though they were curious, none of them dared to ask a question.
As for Yang Lichun, ever since she had been chased away by Yang Chuxia last time, she had been silent for two days. Now, she saw Ye Ziâan and shamelessly approached him like a fly.
"Brother An, have you returned?" Yang Lichun happily asked.
However, Ye Ziâan completely ignored her. Unfazed, she went up and grabbed Brother Anâs sleeve and then glanced at the carriage that had not left yet, saying, "Brother An, did you walk back? I think Xiaxia has a hard heart. She knew you were in town and that your legs and feet werenât good, but she rented a carriage without giving you a ride. If it were me, I wouldnât do that."
Yang Chuxia paid the coachman and walked in, just in time to hear Yang Lichunâs words, and she couldnât help but laugh out loud.
Then, Ye Ziâan impatiently pulled his sleeve away and said indifferently, "Xiaxia wouldnât take the initiative to grab a manâs sleeve like you either."
"Pffft" After Ye Ziâanâs words, Yang Chuxiaâs laughter grew even louder.
This made Yang Lichun very unhappy, but she didnât dare to say anything for fear of being beaten. She just stared at Yang Chuxia with her eyes wide open.
"Donât stare at me with those dead fish eyes," Yang Chuxia disdainfully glanced at her and continued, "Didnât I explain it to you before? Before you set your sights on Brother An at least let your father and brothers not harbor such disgusting thoughts. Do you think Brother An would be blind enough to fancy you? Get lost and donât hang around my doorway. You canât possibly expect me to invite you to dinner, can you?"
She didnât know why, but seeing Yang Lichunâs submissive wife demeanor, grabbing Brother Anâs sleeve, just made her so unhappy.
"Tsk, second sister, why are some people so fickle? Just a few days ago she was thinking of marrying into a wealthy family to become a lady, and now sheâs changed her mind?" Yang Ruoqiu and Yang Dongzhi, who had just returned from their grandmotherâs house, also saw Yang Chuxia buying a carriage full of things and the beautiful cotton cloth.
The two sisters felt all sorts of envy, jealousy, and resentment in their hearts. However, they also couldnât stand Yang Lichunâs behavior. In the past, they were stepped on by Yang Lichun. Now, their second uncle was in jail, and there was no more Cultivated Talent in the family, they didnât need to give in to her. Especially considering how they had been looked down on and bullied by Yang Lichun before, they wouldnât pass up an opportunity to take revenge now.
"Elder sister, we really canât blame her for being shameless. In comparison to wealth and fortune, what is shamelessness? In the past, she relied on her father being a Cultivated Talent and believed she could marry well, much better than us sisters. Now that her father is no longer a Cultivated Talent, those good families donât look up to her, so naturally her eyes have changed. Just look, Brother An is handsome and has a good job, and a small savings at home, so why not latch onto him?" Yang Dongzhi glared at Yang Lichun, then continued, "But she doesnât even consider what sheâs worth. Her own brother crippled a person and left him bedridden, and she still has the nerve to cling onto him. Even if heâs blind, he wouldnât be interested in someone like you. What if your father or mother sneak into his room at night while heâs asleep and stab him again?"
