My Lady Always Lacks Ambition

Mrs. Wang heard what Mrs. Zhang Quan said and, with a smile on her lips, said, "She was born to be a mistress, just that fate has been quite rough on her. When she was young and frail, she was sent back to the old mansion and even became a disciple of the Mystic Sect. Now that she has grown up, our family is in decline."

Mrs. Zhang Quan said, "The servant also heard from the lady that the eldest miss has been under your name for a long time and was sent to the old mansion early on. But from what the servant sees, you two get along quite well."

Mrs. Wang’s eyes relaxed with a smile, "You can tell? It might really be fate. In our main branch, she’s the only girl, and she’s registered under my name, becoming my daughter. Even though we haven’t seen each other for ten years, now that we have reunited, we genuinely get along well."

"The servant sees that she respects you a lot."

"She’s a good child, with proper ideas, capable of living up to our main branch’s legitimate eldest daughter’s name." Mrs. Wang was somewhat proud.

Such high praise?

Mrs. Zhang Quan couldn’t help but raise her regard for Qin Liuxi a few notches, as receiving such praise from Mrs. Wang must surely mean she has her talents.

But even if Mrs. Wang hadn’t praised her, Mrs. Zhang Quan wouldn’t dare to act carelessly in front of Qin Liuxi. The other’s presence was too imposing; she could only be extra cautious.

"Xixi is right; you’ve come a long way and through much dust. You should stay for a few days before leaving. Nanny Shen, please take Sister Hong to rest for a bit. There’s no rush; we can talk more after you’ve rested."

Mrs. Zhang Quan, having traveled a long distance, was indeed tired and did not decline the offer, following Nanny Shen to rest.

Only then did Mrs. Wang start to sort through the things she brought, a small case. Upon unlocking and looking inside, there were silver notes worth two thousand Silver, and several heavy, old-fashioned gold hairpins and hairpins, totaling several taels in weight.
