Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1445 - 1434: The Young Uncle of the Prestigious Family
Previously on Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life...
Today is Ye Yao’s wedding day. She sat in front of the vanity, letting the makeup artist—someone even international superstars fought over—do her bridal makeup. Looking back on her life, she realized the best decision she had ever made was that morning on the way to school, when she helped her younger uncle who had fallen from his wheelchair.
From that moment her fate began to change. First, she moved out of the nightmare foster family, then she finally made peace with her feelings toward her biological parents, and from there her life took off toward something beautifully ahead, leaving everything far behind.
When she first came to the Ye Family, she had no sense of security at all. It was her younger uncle who became her most loyal support, who personally taught her how to be confident, who told her that, in this life, the most important thing is that you treat yourself well.
But that last point, she didn’t listen to him. She felt that, in this lifetime, treating her younger uncle well mattered more than treating herself well.
"All done?" While she was dazed, Ye Qiu pushed the door open, and seeing her all dressed up, he showed a gratified smile. "That kid is really getting a bargain. How did such an outstanding niece like you get swindled away by him?"
Ye Yao thought over her love life. When did she start having feelings for her husband? It seemed that it was also when her younger uncle casually mentioned that this person was not bad, and then she slowly began to pay attention to him.
She hadn’t expected that idiot to think she had a secret crush on him. After his initial shyness, he felt it wasn’t right to let a girl take the initiative and confess, so he confessed first.
Ye Yao was stunned and, as if driven by gods and ghosts, agreed. But as they gradually got to know each other, she found he really was a good man, so she truly fell in love with him and accepted his proposal.
It could be said that having such a good husband was also thanks to her younger uncle.
"Let’s go, the auspicious time is coming up. Younger Uncle will walk you out."
"Mm." Ye Yao held onto her younger uncle’s arm, her heart full of reluctance. From today on, she would be someone else’s woman.
But at this moment Ye Qiu said, "Even if you’re married, you will always be the Miss of the Ye Family. The Ye Family will always be your home. If that kid ever bullies you, just come back. Younger Uncle will stand up for you."
"Mm." Ye Yao’s answer came out a little choked.
"Cheer up, today is your big happy day. That rascal Ye Mao is still waiting to be your wedding page-boy. He said he’s going to ruthlessly extort a big red envelope from you."
"Younger Uncle is still such a joker. But I’ve already prepared a big red envelope. I won’t let Younger Uncle down."
Ye Mao was the little son that Ye Tang and Zhang Jingyi later had. He looked about eighty percent like Ye Qiu and adored this eldest brother the most. You could say that, growing up, it was Ye Qiu who spent the most time with him; he had basically become Ye Qiu’s little accessory. If everyone hadn’t watched Zhang Jingyi’s pregnant belly back then, they would have thought he was Ye Qiu’s son!
Ye Yao had always called Ye Qiu "Younger Uncle" and didn’t want to change it to "Second Uncle," so later she called Ye Mao "Younger Uncle-uncle." The relationship between this Younger Uncle-uncle and his eldest niece was also very good.
Although the Ye Family didn’t think much of Ye Bai and Shen Huiran, Ye Yao was, after all, their biological daughter, so they came today as well. Seeing that the one holding Ye Yao’s hand on stage was Ye Qiu, the couple felt awkward and guilty.
A red carpet paved with fresh flowers stretched out before them. If her husband wasn’t waiting up ahead and the emcee wasn’t urging them on, Ye Yao would have wanted to keep walking like this with her younger uncle forever.
But she couldn’t rely on Younger Uncle for a lifetime, nor cling to him forever. She had to learn to grow up on her own. In the days ahead she must not slack off, and she would strive to always be the one Younger Uncle was proudest of.

"Task completed. Enter the next world?"
Ye Qiu selected "Yes," and the scene changed. She arrived in a room filled with the smell of medicine. Outside, maidservants and old women seemed to be talking.
"Another Lady. I don’t want to serve her. The way she was talking yesterday, all soft and Rourou, made me sick. I’d guess Madam is still angry even now."
"What can you do? She’s from the Old Lady’s natal family after all, with the Old Lady behind her!"
"Of all times, why come at this age? She obviously wants the Old Lady to arrange a marriage for her. In our mansion, all the young masters are at the age of discussing marriage. No wonder Madam and Second Madam don’t like it."
"If they take her as a concubine, the Old Lady won’t accept it. If they marry her as the main wife, this Lady’s family background isn’t good enough. Even our Third Young Master can’t marry a commoner orphan whose parents are both dead!"
"I fear this mansion will never be peaceful again!"
Listening to their conversation, Ye Qiu recalled the plot of this lifetime. Her name was still Ye Qiu, only now she was an orphan whose parents had died, coming to seek refuge with her great-great-grandmother.
The Ye Family had originally just been a modestly wealthy family. Their greatest bragging point was that Ye Qiu’s Grandpa Ye had passed the Scholar exam and later, through connections and money, obtained a County Magistrate’s post.
Later, when the country fell into turmoil and war reached the county where the Ye Family lived, a Colonel in the army took a fancy to Grandpa Ye’s younger sister and formally proposed marriage. But the war was still raging, and over time the siblings gradually lost contact.
That Colonel kept rising in rank. Due to his military merits, after the founding of the dynasty he was conferred the First-rank title of Marquis Zhongyong, and Mrs. Ye soared as well, holding a first-rank imperial decree.
All these years, her life had been smooth. She had two sons and a daughter: the eldest inherited the Duke title, the second served in the Ministry of Industry, and the youngest daughter even married the current Holy Emperor as a concubine. If there was any regret in such a life, it was that she had never managed to find her natal family.
Luckily, both her sons were filial and never gave up searching. It was only last year that they finally found the Ye Family who had moved to escape the war. But by then, Ye Qiu’s Grandpa Ye and mother had already passed away, and Father was bedridden with illness. They had just confirmed their identities and were still rejoicing when Father died suddenly.
The Zhang Family’s servants helped with the funeral arrangements. The original Ye Qiu insisted on observing a full year of mourning before agreeing to return to the Capital City with them. She had just arrived at the Marquis Mansion yesterday. Because of some little schemes of the original Ye Qiu and Mrs. Ye’s strong protection of her, a few unpleasant incidents occurred.
But the greatest bias against her wasn’t just that. Two years ago, there had been a huge scandal in the Capital City where a Lady had stirred up chaos in a noble household. Since then, the powerful aristocratic families in the capital have all harbored prejudice against impoverished Ladies like her who come seeking refuge.
The original Ye Qiu’s goal was not to secure a foothold in this apparently harmonious but internally chaotic, enormous man-eating Marquis Mansion, but to break free of it.
Unfortunately, given Mrs. Ye’s affection for her, the schemes of the others in the mansion, and this world’s prejudice against women, that didn’t seem easy at all.
