Yueyao interrupted Yueying coldly, saying, "Gu Lan, escort Miss Lian out."
Yueying didn’t expect Yueyao to turn against her at this mont, and she beca even more furious: "What do you an by this? You’ve let suffer humiliation in the Yao family, and you still dare to drive away?" Yueying was filled with resentnt, and so she disregarded everything.
Yueyao’s expression was frosty: "Gu Lan, drag her out for . Tell the gatekeeper not to let her into my household again." Yueyao was thoroughly fed up with Yueying. With rumors already swirling outside, she wasn’t afraid of one more saying that the sisters had turned against each other.
Yueying was livid, her pointing finger at Yueyao shook: "You..."
With Yueyao’s words, Gu Lan had no more reservations, and she went over to support Yueying out, then instructed the maid to see her off.
Yuebing couldn’t believe that Yueyao even disregarded sisterly ties.
Yet, Yueyao said, "Such an ungrateful wolf, you’d better watch out when dealing with her in the future. Otherwise, no matter how much you help her, she’s bound to resent you the mont she’s dissatisfied. Even if you slightly harm her interests, she’ll point at your nose and curse." It’s truly laughable; who does she think she is to co and question , really overstepping her bounds.
Yuebing felt there was more to the words: "Third sister, why do you say that?"
Yueyao didn’t mind saying a few more words: "If it weren’t for back then, she would have definitely beco a widow in the Chen family. I helped her several tis afterward, unfortunately..." Unfortunately, there’s no need for her to say it; Yueyao believed Yuebing would understand.
Yuebing was a bit embarrassed, as these matters involved her mother, Lady family, so she really didn’t know how to respond: "Third sister, you have a good rest; I shall take my leave and return to see you in a few days."
Yueyao didn’t insist on keeping her, just watched Yuebing’s back with a complex expression on her face. Many things have now changed completely beyond recognition.
Yuebing also felt conflicted; Lady family was like a minefield. When left untouched, everyone could maintain a facade of smiles, but once touched, it made Yuebing’s heart ache terribly. Her mother was still confined in the family temple back ho, leading a life like a monk. Yuebing had pleaded with Lian Dongfang several tis to no avail, as he remained unmoved, and neither her older nor second brother sided with her. She knew it was not just her father; her older and second brother also bore a grudge against their mother for bringing them sha.
Nanny Cui noticed what Yuebing was thinking and suddenly interrupted: "Madam, you must not harbor resentnt towards Third Young Lady because of the Old Madam."
Yuebing finally expressed her true feelings: "Shouldn’t I resent her? If not for her, my mother wouldn’t have suffered so much."
Nanny Cui’s expression didn’t change as she said, "Madam, resenting the Third Young Lady harms only you. To this day, the Third Young Lady no longer needs to show anyone courtesy; otherwise, she wouldn’t have driven the Eldest Miss out today." In fact, according to Nanny Cui, there was no right or wrong between Lady family and Yueyao’s struggle; it was rely about who won and who lost.
Yuebing recalled how Yueyao rcilessly drove Yueying out, feeling uncertain: "Yueyao wasn’t like this usually."
Nanny Cui smiled and said, "Tis have changed. The Third Young Lady is no longer the sa as before. As I always say, Madam, even if you don’t form a good relationship with her, don’t make an enemy of her; it will only harm you without any benefit."
Yuebing finally nodded: "I know what to do now."
The matter of Yueyao entering the imperial palace didn’t spread, but many people knew it privately. Li Guoxing had doubts upon first hearing the news. To prompt the Emperor to summon soone overnight must be a national issue, but how could Yueyao be involved in such a matter?
While Li Guoxing pondered this, the Emperor dispatched soone to summon him to the Imperial Study Room. As the Minister of Revenue, Li Guoxing was in charge of finance, and naturally, the Emperor sought him when money was needed.
Li Guoxing didn’t know why, but he faintly felt the Emperor’s need for a large sum of silver coins might be related to the previous night’s eting with Yueyao. However, common sense suggested this was impossible because it was too absurd. Despite his conflicted thoughts, Li Guoxing promptly returned to the Yan to carry out the Emperor’s orders without delay.
Whatever changes occurred in the Imperial Court were none of Yueyao’s concern. Yueyao was now counting the days with her fingers, waiting for her children to return. With all four children not around, Yueyao felt empty inside, unable to find motivation for anything.
Gu Lan felt this wasn’t good for Yueyao: "Madam, the Eldest Miss and the three young masters are arriving soon. You should also consider hiring teachers for them." Yueyao needed to hire a female teacher for Kexin and male teachers for the three boys, but finding good teachers was no easy task.
