With a father like Ye Xin who holds great power, whoever Ye Lily marries means that the husband's family can get a boost. The eyes of the royal family of Ming Qi are all watching. Fortunately, the two people who came to propose marriage now are both civil officials and have nothing to do with military generals. And both the Wei family and the Huang family have a good reputation but follow the middle way. They haven't gotten involved in the chaos of fighting for the throne for the moment. So compared to other marriages, especially the rumor that Ye Lily was in love with Prince Ding before, this one is really much smoother.
In Guangwentang, Yi Peilan asked Ye Amy, "Is it true that your sister and younger sister are going to get married? They haven't even come to Guangwentang."
Since Wolong Temple, neither Ye Lily nor Ye Cindy has left the mansion, let alone come to Guangwentang. Ye Lily was grounded and Ye Cindy needed to take good care of her body.
Ye Amy smiled, "I don't know either. Mother is being mysterious. Probably yes."
"But speaking of it, your sister and younger sister are quite lucky," Jiang Xiaoxuan thought for a while, "Especially Ye Lily. Either Young Master Wei or Young Master Huang can be called good. Why didn't it fall on you?"
Ye Amy pretended to be angry, "I still want to stay in the mansion for a few more years. I haven't thought about getting married." But there was a knot in her heart. Indeed, at their age, they would surely start to care about their own marriages. But in the Ye mansion, Ye Lily was two years younger than her. Now she is engaged, but she is left behind. Ye Cindy is fine. Anyway, she is someone whose body was ruined. But when she knew that even Ye Lily might find a good marriage, Ye Amy was extremely jealous.
Probably she couldn't stand Ye Lily's good fortune. Especially Ye Lily, who was inferior to her in everything before. Now the Wei family took the initiative to propose marriage, which meant admitting that Ye Lily was still good. If it weren't for Chen Ruoqiu's persuasion, I'm afraid Ye Amy would still keep thinking about this and not come out.
"You, you," Bai Wei pointed at her forehead, "Now you are in the prime of your youth. Naturally, you have to plan for yourself. Well," She pointed to the other side, "What do you think of him?"
The direction she pointed was right at Cai Lin. Ye Amy followed Bai Wei's gaze. Cai Lin sensed Ye Amy's gaze, turned his head, was stunned for a moment, and actually avoided her uncomfortably.

Ye Amy's eyes turned red all of a sudden and she bit her lower lip tightly.
The young man who was once deeply in love with her now avoids her like a snake or a scorpion. For someone as proud as Ye Amy, she naturally feels a great humiliation.
Cai Lin avoided Ye Amy's accusing gaze and was a little worried in his heart. Since being taught a lesson by Ye Lily in the schoolyard, every time he saw Ye Lily, he would have a kind of fear that he didn't know where it came from. It was as if the innate fear of danger made him want to avoid Ye Lily. Besides, that day Xiao Jack seemed to have helped Ye Lily. Cai Lin was a big bully in Dingjing, but he couldn't be more powerful than Xiao Jack. Naturally, he wouldn't take the initiative to oppose Xiao Jack.
No matter whether Xiao Jack's help that day was intentional or not, Cai Lin wouldn't take the initiative to provoke Ye Lily anymore.
And Ye Amy didn't even look at him that day, which completely cooled the young man's passionate heart.
Seeing Ye Amy's embarrassment, Yi Peilan pursed her lips and changed the topic, smiling, "But, is it that in half a month it will be your old madam's birthday? I think I should also go and pick some gifts."
Old Madam Ye's birthday is celebrated very grandly every year. Such a pomp is even comparable to that of the royal family. Old Madam Ye is shallow-minded and thinks the more grand the birthday celebration is, the more face she has. Many officials are invited every year. Ye Gui and Ye Wan are naturally happy to see it happen. This way, they can also have a better relationship with their colleagues.
For such a birthday, gifts are naturally to be received. It is expected that when the birthday banquet is held in half a month, Yi Peilan and the others will all be there. After all, at this time of the year, almost all the better official families in Ming Qi are invited by the Ye family.
"Yes," Bai Wei seemed to remember only then, "I almost forgot about this. Thanks to Peilan for reminding me, Amy, what gift did you prepare for Old Madam Ye?"
As a talented girl in the capital, Ye Amy naturally brings honor to Old Madam Ye at every birthday banquet. If what Ye Cindy presents is something expensive, what Ye Amy presents is unique and exquisite. Only Ye Lily's gifts every time make people laugh out loud.
"It's just a embroidered portrait." Ye Amy said modestly.
"When you all said this, I started to be curious," Jiang Xiaoxuan said wickedly, "Then what will your fifth sister give? Isn't she too busy embroidering her wedding dress and forget all about the old madam's birthday gift?"
Hearing this, Feng Anning, who was lying on the table on one side, snorted coldly and got up and left the table.
The words of Yi Peilan and the others also reached Liu Yan, who was packing up things after school on the stage. These days, he naturally heard the news that Ye Lily was engaged, but he had a strange feeling. The girl's eyes were like those of a beast. Let her lurk in the backyard so early. Would she be able?
