Xiang Wei muttered to herself, "It’s been dragged on for so long, finally it can’t be delayed any longer." This Madam Wen really brought her own death upon herself. Despite her parents’ love for her, they didn’t want her to marry into the Ning family, this pit of fire, yet she jumped in willingly.
Yueyao was puzzled, "Doesn’t our family have no social ties with the Duke Ning’s Mansion?" Isn’t this obituary supposed to be sent to families of friends and relatives? What does sending it to our house an?
The Chief Steward respectfully said, "The Ning family and the Marquis Weiyuan’s Mansion are related." Nowadays, our Old Master has achieved great rit, and upon return, the Emperor will surely reward him. Even those without relations want to climb up, not to ntion the Marquis Weiyuan’s Mansion already being related to the Ning family.
Yueyao was very displeased; if they are relatives of the Marquis Weiyuan’s Mansion, then send it to the Mansion, why send it to her house, "You handle this matter." Generally, issues concerning inconsequential families are entrusted to the steward to handle. It’s worth saying that An Zhichen is indeed insightful in employing capable people, whether in steward or guard positions, letting Yueyao work with ease.
After Steward Hong went out, Xiang Wei said, "Speaking of which, Lady Mu truly has great ans; even after so many years, she still holds Ning Lixuan’s unwavering loyalty." Xiang Wei originally thought that what you can’t obtain is the best, and once you have it, it becos like trash, easily discardable. Of course, this isn’t Xiang Wei’s perception alone; indeed, many n are like this. But Mu Qinglian naturally possesses such skills; over the years, she has ensured Ning Lixuan remains devoted solely to her. Nowadays, Ning Lixuan’s two sons and two daughters are all born of Mu Qinglian.
Yueyao remarked, "Won who associate with her don’t have a good end." Her past life need not be ntioned, and in this lifeti, people who befriend Mu Qinglian haven’t had a smooth life.
Xiang Wei lowered her head in thought and then laughed, "Madam, you truly hit the nail on the head. Mu Qinglian specifically impacts won, doesn’t she!" Speaking of which, Xiang Wei suddenly recalled sothing, "I rember when Lin Qinghan first married over; her conduct was sowhat inappropriate, yet not as nonsensical as now. It seems after associating with Mu Qinglian, she beca increasingly irrational."
Yueyao chuckled in frustration, "Can you please not ntion Lin Qinghan’s na in front of ?" Xiang Wei frequently brought up Lin Qinghan in front of her recently, knowing clearly Xiang Wei’s intention.
Xiang Wei asked, "Are you planning to let matters continue like this?"
Yueyao was truly defeated by Xiang Wei, finally saying, "Even if we need to handle this matter, we’ll have to wait for Tingzheng to return."
Xiang Wei quickly asked, "How do you plan to deal with it?" This indeed was the matter Xiang Wei was most concerned about; hopefully, it wouldn’t turn into much ado about nothing.
Yueyao was indeed defeated by Xiang Wei, "We’ll handle this matter thoroughly, alright!" She had never seen anyone so persistent.
Xiang Wei’s eyes lit up instantly, "Alright, you said this yourself."
Yueyao laughed, "I keep my word." She might disregard Lin Qinghan’s disrespect towards her, but she absolutely cannot watch the second branch get destroyed by Lin Qinghan. Otherwise, a hundred years later, she would face her father with sha.
Xiang Wei had always been soone who wouldn’t settle for less, but the Jiangnan incident had made her actions more restrained. However, this ti, Xiang Wei could not bear it anymore. Mu Qinglian provoked from behind the scenes, causing Lin Qinghan to continually disgust them; such deceit she could not swallow.
The Duke Ning’s Mansion was holding a funeral, but in the Capital City, sohow a rumor started circulating, saying the second branch of Duke Ning’s Heir is a jinx, whoever associates with them suffers bad luck. The late Wife of the Heir of Duke Ning, Madam Wen, is a perfect example.
Sotis when talking about rumors, the parties involved just ignore them as they’re baseless and gradually the rumors dissipate. Much like the ones outside concerning Yueyao, they circulate for a ti and then cease. But this ti, things were different; as soon as the rumor arose, interested parties began scrutinizing Mu Qinglian’s girlfriends and when they really uncovered that none of the won close to Mu Qinglian were living happily.
Mu Qinglian rose into status from being a discarded wife, naturally an enemy in the eyes of official’s wives in the Capital. As the matter unfolded, many pushed it further causing the rumors to intensify, even the instigator was astonished when hearing the outside gossip.
Xiang Wei said to Yueyao, "Now outside, there are rumors saying Mu Qinglian is able to convert the fortunes of those around her into her own, smoothing her days evermore." This rumor nearly calls Mu Qinglian a monster.
Yueyao typically ignores rumors. However, unexpectedly this gossip spread swiftly even roping her in.
Previously, Yueyao and Mu Qinglian were collectively considered the Beauties of the Capital. If sothing happened to Mu Qinglian, naturally Yueyao would be easy to compare against; and such a comparison shocked everyone.
Interested parties investigated and discovered that won who are friends with Yueyao are indeed living happily without exception. As Yueyao’s close friend, Mingzhu goes without saying, Mingzhu is the object of envy among all wives in the Capital; besides, Zhuang Ruolan, Princess Wanhe and others are also admired by many official’s wives in the Capital. As for Yueyao, her fortune is indisputable; she gave birth to three sons all at once, now having both sons and daughters, her husband’s career is on the rise, Yueyao herself has beco a world-renowned master of painting and calligraphy.
After Xiang Wei finished speaking with Yueyao, she remarked, "This has nothing to do with ." She didn’t expect the rumor extending to the point that Yueyao was involved.
Yueyao didn’t mind the rumors outside, whether good or bad; she remained indifferent, "Let them spread however they wish!"
Xiang Wei sowhat unwillingly said, "Pity this approach doesn’t affect her much." If Mu Qinglian cared about the external gossip, she’d have ended herself long ago, and wouldn’t continue living so comfortably.
Yueyao stated, "Let her remain a concubine all her life; that’s the best punishnt for Mu Qinglian." Mu Qinglian has high ambitions; her willing acceptance as a concubine in the past was due to her calculation, but if left to be a concubine eternally, there’s no way she’d be content.
Xiang Wei felt this to be sowhat challenging.
Yueyao coldly laughed, "Let Lady of Duke Ning realize, upon promoting Mu Qinglian, the Duke Mansion would face misfortune, then Mu Qinglian can’t be promoted." Yueyao does not believe Lady of Duke Ning would truly set aside grudges, and regard Mu Qinglian as a daughter. For a mother who has raised her son with hardship to have her son disrespectfully preferring a woman, losing family authority to this woman, no mother could accept such a person favorably.
Xiang Wei hesitated and asked, "Can Lady of Duke Ning really stop it?"
Yueyao smiled and replied, "It depends on Lady of Duke Ning’s skills." Though Yueyao resents Mu Qinglian and hopes she can’t be promoted, she certainly wouldn’t interfere, ddling in soone else’s dostic affairs easily pulls oneself into the situation.
