My Lady Always Lacks Ambition

Mrs. Wang returned to her courtyard with a heavy heart, finding Qin Liuxi and Aunt Wan staring each other down, prompting her to arch an eyebrow and clear her throat lightly.

Aunt Wan quickly let go of her son’s hand and briskly approached Mrs. Wang, bowing respectfully, saying, "Lady, please intervene."

Mrs. Wang asked, "What is the matter?"

Aunt Wan, looking as frightened as if she’d seen a ghost, replied, "She actually wants me and Chun’er to practice calligraphy together. Lady, you know me, I am a person who, aside from beauty, is utterly worthless and has nothing else, right?"

Mrs. Wang felt short of breath.

You do have self-awareness, but must you keep bringing it up like this, putting yourself down and even treating it as something to be proud of?

Fearing that Mrs. Wang might not see, Aunt Wan even pushed her face closer and said, "You’ve also said it before; all I have is this face to show."

Mrs. Wang: "..."

When did I ever say that?

Qin Liuxi came over and said, "What else to do when you’re free all day? Who can take away what you learn from writing? It’s yours alone. It’s the perfect time as Xiao Wu is also learning to read and write. You two can supervise each other, motivate each other, and be more driven."

Aunt Wan: No, I don’t want to!
