She Became A Downfall Noble Lady

Chapter 591: 589

Ye Xinyan played with the little one and then turned to stand beside Madam Yin, smiling at her and saying, “Mother, just look at this little baby, so amusing, and not shy at all.” Then, teasing Ye Yuan, she added, “Look, this is Mother, this is my mom, you know.”

Ye Yuan was not giving Ye Xinyan any face; following her coaxing, he just glanced once at Madam Yin and then decisively turned his head back, clinging tightly to Ye Xinyan’s neck, presenting the back of his head to Madam Yin.

Maternal Aunt Zhao grew tense as she saw drool dribble down Ye Yuan’s mouth, and when she heard Ye Xinyan’s comment while wiping the drool, she was even more afraid the young mistress would truly find fault and subsequently never spare her son another glance.

Seeing Ye Xinyan casually put the drool-wiped handkerchief into her sleeve, Maternal Aunt Zhao’s heart sank with relief. The young mistress didn’t mind, and with her fondness, the matter of her son being raised in the heir apparent’s wife’s room was halfway to success.

Just as her heart had eased, she saw her son unwilling to get close to the wife of the heir apparent. Her heart was lifted again with anxiety. How could this child behave this way? The wife of the heir apparent would be his mother in the future; how could he act like this? With such behavior, how could the wife of the heir apparent grow fond of him?

Madam Yin didn’t really mind Ye Yuan’s attitude towards her. Even though Duke An and the Duchess had been talking incessantly about having the child born to Maternal Aunt Zhao registered under her name, she had no intention of agreeing to it from the start.

But since her daughter liked the little fellow, she certainly wouldn’t dislike him. Moreover, seeing the child naturally gravitate toward her daughter, being so affectionate during their first meeting, she felt relieved.
