Transmigrated as the Treacherous Official's Childhood Sweetheart-Chapter 308 - 307: Four Years Later

During the seasonal rituals, beasts leave their skins behind, geese leave their cries~

Years are easy to pass by, four years have gone by since we last met.

The eighteenth year of Jingping, mid-autumn.

"Miss, Miss, time to get up, time to get up..."

Accompanying the bright female voice were knocks on the door, the thudding sound persisted continuously~

The morning sun had been rising for some time, its bright rays shining upon the earth.

In Qingyi Garden, a scene of reluctance to get out of bed was being played out.

Ah Tao’s round face showed helplessness, she knocked on the door again, conveying the lady’s instructions: "Miss, the lady said if you do not get up, she will personally drag you to breakfast."

Inside the room.

A young girl wrapped herself in a pink brocade quilt like a cocoon, trying hard to block out the sounds from outside: "Can you not call me? I practiced late yesterday, you have no idea how many mountains I flew over..."

Ah Tao: "..."

Every time she called the Miss to get up, it was a battle.

"Shall I tell the lady that you were very tired from practicing yesterday?"

The sleepy voice from inside replied: "Okay, go ahead, I’ll take responsibility for whatever the problem is."

Ah Tao had a doting look in her eyes: "Alright then."

Now Ah Tao’s figure was still slightly plump, her round little face shedding its youthful innocence, her eyes bearing a touch of maturity. The term "first-class maid of Qingyi Garden" had not been something she flaunted with Ming Yan for some time.

At the age of seventeen, she displayed a calm and seasoned demeanor.

She married another attendant in the mansion, Li Chun, two years ago, and their small life was stable.

Li Chun had been assigned by the Ye Family to be a servant for Shen Chen, and after Shen Chen left with the State Preceptor, he was kept back in the mansion to help out.

Ah Tao didn’t know when they fell for each other, but once Ye Zhi knew, she immediately allowed the two to become husband and wife, without any delay, even gifting her some jewelry as dowry.

The Ye Mansion was immensely wealthy, ranking in the top ten of the Capital City’s rich list. It’s not an exaggeration to say they had a fortune worth millions.

The Ye Family feared that their youngest daughter would become spoiled, so they didn’t give her too much silver.

Every month, they symbolically gave her two hundred taels as pocket money, but now it had increased to three hundred taels~

Food, clothing, housing, and transportation were all provided by the mansion.

Therefore, the jewels Ye Zhi gave, such as the Nine Phoenix Bright Moon Hairpin, Half Moon-shaped Scroll Grass Lion Pattern Carved Flower Hairpin, Golden Silk Orchid Bud Pendant Hairpin, Amber and Lapis Lazuli Bracelet... etc., amounted to over a thousand taels.

Over a thousand taels was a lot of money for a newlywed couple, and Ah Tao adamantly refused to accept it until Ye Zhi threatened to throw them into the lake, and she reluctantly accepted them.

Speaking of the lake, there was a little incident.

To protect herself, Ye Zhi had forced herself to become a swimming expert, and she was no longer afraid of jumping into rivers or lakes. The original Ye Zhi had once thrown Shen Chen’s mother’s relic, an emerald cloud-patterned jade pendant, into the lake. One time, while practicing swimming in a small lake at the Ye Mansion, she accidentally found it.

That emerald cloud-patterned jade pendant was still kept at the bedside, waiting to return to its rightful owner upon their next meeting~

...

Four springs and autumns can change many things.

During that Buddhist Law, Ye Zhi acted with Ming Yan, claiming that after getting married, Master Zhi Chen had no reaction.

There’s no greater sorrow than a heart turned to ash, and death is secondary.

In four years, Ming Yan never set foot in Longhua Temple.

Nor did she take interest in any other man, at twenty-nine, still a maid in Qingyi Garden, she always said being alone was fine, and she was very happy and content.
