CHAPTER 11 - THE YE FAMILY'S DARLING (PART THREE)
Yun Qingqiao suddenly gained seven brothers, as her first, second, and third uncles each had two sons, and her fourth uncle had one. The seven young men eagerly vied for Yun Qingqiao to call them 'brother,' which prompted Old Lord Ye to bellow, "You bunch of rascals, you'd better look after your little sister from now on. No bullying her, or you'll face the family's discipline!"
Turning to his eldest son, Ye Hongda, he continued, "I dislike that Yun Xiuwen. If it weren't for him, my precious daughter would never have eloped."
Initially, Ye Heyun, who had no desire to marry into the royal family, had finally managed to escape that fate, postponing the arranged marriage to the next generation. However, her family considered her a bit irrational and suggested she take some time off to travel. During one of her outings, Ye Heyun met Yun Xiuwen, a handsome man with a gentle demeanor. Captivated by his talents, they quickly fell in love and decided to spend their lives together.
At that time, Yun Xiuwen had yet to make a name for himself and was eight years older than Ye Heyun. Given the considerable difference in their family backgrounds and social standing, they opposed the union. Nevertheless, defying their families' wishes, the couple chose to elope.
Ultimately, the Ye family had to let them be together.

Realizing that Yun Qingqiao was present, Old Lord Ye felt it would be inappropriate to criticize her father in front of her. Stroking his beard, he said, "I should give this girl a name from our Ye family to soothe my irritation!"
None of his four sons found this surprising. Even before their sister was married off, Old Lord Ye had doted on his only precious daughter immensely.
Now, with just one granddaughter in the younger generation, Old Lord Ye was overjoyed since her arrival in Chuzhou. Naturally, he wanted to make a grand gesture to assert his favoritism.
"This young lady is now the legitimate daughter of our Ye family. She has seven older brothers, plus her biological brother, Yun Ruibo. That makes her ninth in line. Let's call her Ye Jiuer," Old Lord Ye declared with a smile.

Ye Hongda quickly chimed in, "Father, you were the one who named her Yun Qingqiao. How about we incorporate her pet name, Qiao, and call her Ye Qiaoer? She's ninth in line in our family, so we could also refer to her as 'Ninth Miss.' What do you think?"
The suggestion was apt, and Old Lord Ye agreed, smiling, "Ye Jiuer was a bit hasty. After all, she's my legitimate granddaughter. Let's call her Ye Qiaoer. Eldest son, eldest daughter-in-law, please inform the servants so everyone knows."
After introducing his sons and recounting the family history, Old Lord Ye formally established Yun Qingqiao's status in the Ye family. Then he retreated to the study with his sons, who had become generals, to discuss state affairs.
Lady Ye beckoned Yun Qingqiao to her side and pointed to a woman seated at the end of the table. "This is your eldest aunt-in-law."
Dressed in a rose-purple pomegranate skirt, Aunt Wei exuded a gentle charm, her eyes radiating a soft light. With modest makeup enhancing her naturally elegant demeanor, she resembled an orchid in full bloom.

After Yun Qingqiao offered her respects, Aunt Wei gently took her hand and said, "Now that you are in the Ye residence, consider it your home. If you ever face any difficulties, feel free to tell me. I'll take care of it for you." Her words made it clear that Aunt Wei ran the household.
Being older, Aunt Wei married into the Ye family when Yun Qingqiao’s mother, Ye Heyun, was still a young girl. She continued softly, "You bear such a strong resemblance to your mother. Seeing you now is like seeing her at your age."
With that, Aunt Wei presented Yun Qingqiao with a welcome gift: a red gold rattle adorned with red gemstones. Yun Qingqiao thanked her with a smile.
