Chapter 1256 -1253: Farewell
“You must take good care of yourself, and the child in your womb as well. Be obedient, and try to understand the difficulties Sister Ye faces.”
Ye Muyu’s lips curled into a smile as she reached into the gift box Su Mei held and took out a bracelet for her. The bracelet bore a special cherry blossom mark, “Qingqing, this is your gift. Though Sister Ye hasn’t been able to open a restaurant, she still wants you to achieve freedom with rouge and cosmetics.”
“Should you need rouge and cosmetics in the future, just go to The Beautiful Face Shop to buy them. You will get a discount—the bracelet will serve as a token of that.”
Zhao Qingqing attempted to refuse, but Ye Muyu had already slipped the bracelet onto her wrist.
“It looks lovely,” Ye Muyu said, her eyes curving with a smile.
Zhao Qingqing felt the weight of the bracelet heavy as a mountain, the best gift she had ever received in her life. Her fingers caressed the bracelet, “Sister Ye, I will take good care of it.”
“Silly girl, the most important thing is you. If you encounter something difficult and truly cannot resolve it, go to The Beautiful Face Shop and have the shopkeeper send me a message.”
Zhao Qingqing’s eyes almost reddened again. She held back her tears and managed a smile, “Alright, Sister Ye. I will miss you.”

In the carriage following behind, there was movement.
The carriage curtain was drawn, and the figures of two young ladies appeared at the window.
The Maiden in Pink looked ahead and asked, pointing at Ye Muyu and her group, “Who’s that over there?”
“Young miss, that’s Madam Liu and Mrs. Chu.” The maidservant by the carriage heard her young miss inquire and dutifully replied.
The Maiden in Green listened, then leaned forward to see the frail-looking Ye Muyu and said, without any reservation, “Lord Chu likes such fragile women? I heard she’s from the countryside. I thought she would be more beautiful. She’s quite ordinary, isn’t she?”
The Maiden in Pink agreed with her sister, even secretly delighted inside. She was the best-looking in the Zhao family, only too young. Lord Chu was a rising star, a definitive favorite of the Emperor, often summoned into the Imperial Study for conversations.
Such an impressive figure, how could he truly be enamored with a woman?
She could see clearly, increasingly feeling that Ye Muyu’s good relationship with Mrs. Chu was why Lord Chu respected his primary wife. There was also her father’s comment—that it was to curry favor with the Emperor.
Unfortunately, Lord Chu hadn’t come today.
The Maiden in Pink’s eyes flashed, “Mother, I wish to step down to relieve myself.”
Madam Zhao the Second’s expression had been sour since they mounted the carriage.
She was always proud and now returning to her old home, wouldn’t she be thoroughly dominated by the third household?
Moreover, the eldest son of the third household was studying alongside the Third Prince at the academy. Should the Emperor’s displeasure ever pass, perhaps the third household could return to service.
But as for the second household…
Tears began to fall from Madam Zhao the Second’s eyes as she thought, unstoppable. All the men of the second household had been exiled and fallen into disgrace.
“Mother.”
Both the Maiden in Pink and the Maiden in Green felt somewhat panicked by Madam Zhao the Second’s crying.
“What were you just saying?” Madam Zhao the Second only cried for a moment, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and revealed her delicate and slender phoenix eyes.
The Maiden in Green spoke with a hint of envy, “We were talking about the third sister. It’s a surprise to see her so close to Madam Liu. However, it’s questionable how long Madam Liu’s glory will last. Lord Chu is still young; he won’t be able to resist taking concubines forever.”
Madam Zhao the Second listened, her expression flickering. She lifted the curtain to look outside and indeed saw Ye Muyu.
Especially seeing the closeness between Senior Lady Zhao and Madam Liu, her expression shifted subtly.
“Didn’t you just say you needed to relieve yourself?”
