Translator:Dragon Boat TranslationEditor:Dragon Boat Translation

After hearing Ye Hongxuans words, Lian Mengzhu couldnt contain her tears any longer, and they began to flow uncontrollably. Thats my daughter, the one I bore for ten months, and now I cant even attend her engagement as her mother.

The realization of this fact unleashed a torrent of sorrow within her, intensifying her resentment towards Lian Zixin. It was all Lian Zixins doing.

The sister she had always cherished had turned her own biological daughter into a stranger. The inability to even recognize her now fueled her deep-seated anger.

Observing Lian Mengzhus grief, Ye Hongxuan also felt uneasy. Despite that, he tried to console her. Dont dwell on it too much. Pretend you know nothing. Let the past remain in the past.

Though challenging, that seemed to be their only recourse. In addition to paternal opposition, there was also resistance from Ye Lengan, who showed no inclination to acknowledge their relations.h.i.+p.

Lian Mengzhu, hearing Ye Hongxuans words, became even more despondent. Her tears seemed uncontainable.

Witnessing Lian Mengzhus sorrow, Ye Hongxuan couldnt bear it. Yet, he was at a loss on how to continue comforting her and could only be there for her in silence.

At that moment, a servant cautiously entered, glancing at Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu. Uncertain whether to speak, she hesitated.

Clearly unprepared for this situation, she speculated whether the Master and Madam had quarreled, but the scene before her suggested otherwise.

Whats the matter? Ye Hongxuan urged the servant to speak.

Master, Madam, the servant hesitated before speaking, Mrs. Yan is here and seems anxious to see Madam.

Lian Mengzhus hatred flared up at the mention of Lian Zixins name. She dares to show her face. She seethed. If it werent for her, Lengan

Mengzhu! Ye Hongxuan interjected, stopping her. He shook his head gently and advised, Say no more.

This matter had been silenced by an order from his father, and the truth of Ye Wanwans switch had not leaked out. Few within the Ye family were aware of it, and they couldnt risk it becoming public.

Heeding Ye Hongxuans warning, Lian Mengzhu snapped out of her anger. Still, her face expressed lingering resentment. Let her go; I dont want to see her.

With Lian Mengzhus response, the servant promptly retreated.

However, she couldnt shake her perplexity. Mrs. Yan had always treated her sister well, even bringing gifts every visit. But now, Madam claimed not to want to see her. It was an inexplicable turn of events.

As a mere servant, she decided against overthinking. It was better to avoid knowing more than she should to prevent jeopardizing her job.

If you dont want to see her, then dont. Ye Hongxuan reached out to hold Lian Mengzhus hand, offering, Dont let these people affect your mood.

Nodding in acknowledgment of her husbands concern, Lian Mengzhu complied.

Suddenly, a commotion reached them, announcing the arrival of Lian Zixin.

Sister, sister! Lian Zixin barged in, calling out.

The servants and disciples refrained from stopping her; after all, she was Madams sister. Though Madam currently refused to see Lian Zixin, a reconciliation was unpredictable.

Capitalizing on this, Lian Zixin boldly entered.

Upon her entrance, she noticed Lian Mengzhu and hurried over, complaining, Sister, look at these servants. They dared to stop me from seeing you. You must punish them.

The servants and disciples, standing respectfully, held their silence.

Lian Mengzhus face contorted in displeasure. She scolded them, Have you all not eaten? If you cant stop one person, what use will you be in the future?

Her words stunned everyone present, especially Lian Zixin. She could hardly believe such words came from her sisters mouth.

Feeling unjust, the servants and disciples struggled to find words in their defense.

Mengzhu, let it go. Ye Hongxuan looked at Lian Mengzhu and suggested, Clarify things with her. Otherwise, such incidents will continue.

After his advice, he gestured for everyone else to leave. He then nodded at Lian Mengzhu and exited the courtyard, leaving the s.p.a.ce to the sisters.

Soon, only Lian Mengzhu and Lian Zixin remained in the courtyard.

Once a bit arrogant, Lian Zixin now dared not even breathe loudly. She had come to seek answers but hadnt expected Lian Mengzhu to refuse to see her.

Lately, she felt that her life was taking a turn for the worse. First, there were issues in various aspects of the Yan familys business, keeping Yan Kai busy and overwhelmed every day.

Then, unexpectedly, Chenlang and Xiaolei returned to the Yan family these past few days, only to be sent back by the Ye family.

Perplexed by what was happening at home, she couldnt figure it out despite much contemplation. That was why she decided to visit today, hoping to get an explanation from Lian Mengzhu.

However, what she didnt antic.i.p.ate was Lian Mengzhus refusal to even see her.

Feeling a sense of panic, Lian Zixin struggled to find words.

Lian Zixin, dont come here again. When Lian Mengzhu looked at her sister, all warmth had vanished, replaced by cold indifference. I dont want to see you anymore.

Sister, did I do something wrong to make you angry? Please forgive me just this once! I promise I wont do it again.

Lian Zixins eyes betrayed her panic. She extended her hand, attempting to grab Lian Mengzhus sleeve, recalling that this gesture had always led to forgiveness in the past.

However, to her surprise, Lian Mengzhu didnt even spare her a glance, simply waving her hand to push her away.
