Chapter 40: A Wedding filled with Bad Luck (Beginning)

Minister's Manor

In the early morning, there was already a cacophony of noise from people entering and leaving. Ye Li brought Ye Shan and Ye Lin to accompany Old Madam Ye at her place, the Hall of Melodies. In Ye Ying's little courtyard, before the skies had brightened, it was already busy. Wang-shi was scared that Ye Lin and Ye San would be in the way and even more afraid that Ye Li would take the opportunity to "exercise." That was why she didn't let them come but instead received two nieces from her own family to accompany Ye Ying. Ye Li happily relaxed and laughed; early in the morning, she came to greet the Old Madam and stayed for conversation. Regardless, today it would be difficult for her to remain all day at the Hall of Melodies. That would only invite gossip.

Old Madam Ye's face was filled with happiness, treating everyone especially amiably. Ye Lin and Ye Shan did not ignore this opportunity to amuse the Old Madam using flattering words and sugary attitudes. Ye Li sat to the side drinking tea, contemplating if she should go and see the fun scene.

Waiting until it was noon, Old Madam Ye's face gradually wrinkled up. She commanded the servants around her: "Go out and see if the people who responsible for welcoming the bride has arrived."

It wasn't until a long time later that the person returned in a rush. "Old Madam..." The person wiped at the sweat on his face and reported. "The troupe to welcome the bride has not arrived yet."

Old Madam Ye's smiled withered. It was already past noon. Welcoming the bride this late was unlucky.

"Could it be that Prince Li wants to toss Fourth Older Sister aside?" Ye Shan, the youngest, suddenly said.

"Shan-er!" Ye Shan's biological mother was scared to the point that her face paled.

"Unbridled! Today is a happy occasion for Fourth Younger Sister, what nonsense are you saying? Still not standing aside?" Ye Li said icily. Taking advantage that Old Madam Ye was still not angry, Ye Li glanced over Ye Shan. Ye Shan moved her lips, wanting to add more. On the side, Ye Lin and Ye Shan's biological mother pulled her out.

"Shan-er is still young. Her words are not carefully chosen. It is Li-er that neglected to discipline her. Grandmother, please quell your anger." Ye Li looked gently at Old Madam Ye.

"Third Young Miss's words are very true. Sixth Young Miss is still young. It is inevitable that she lacks a careful consideration that a noble young miss would have. We are all family here. Asking Old Madam put into consideration that today is a happy occasion for Fouth Young Miss and quell your anger." Because she was pregnant, as an exception, Concubine Zhao was given a seat. At this time, she also quickly came forward to sooth the Old Madam's anger.

Old Madam Ye didn't have the mind or patience to care about Ye Shan. "Hurry," She waved her hand. "Invite the Lord over. Also, send someone to observe the situation."

Knowing the Old Madam's mood was not good, the servants did not dare to say more and hurriedly left."

The atmosphere in the Hall of Melodies was a bit tense, but Ye Li still sat calmly drinking tea. Concubine Zhao stole a look at Ye Li but found that this Young Miss's face was completely devoid of emotion. It was as if nothing had happened. At this time, Concubine Zhao could not determine if this matter was related to the Third Young Miss. Aware of Concubine Zhao's gaze, Ye Li looked up and glanced at her. She couldn't see any of Ye Li's intention and her heart cooled. Slightly nodding her head, she then laid her head back to rest.

Seeing that afternoon had passed, but the messenger sent out to the main gate had not returned. It would seem that Prince Li is doomed to pick up the bride late. Minister Ye brought along Wang-shi and hurriedly came in.
