Chapter 524 - 534 The Habit of Keeping Pets
"Hmm?" Gu Youyou looked up at her.
She felt a bit embarrassed and said, "I’ve implicated you, I’m so sorry. But I’m not just saying this for fun, at home my father and grandmother are the authorities, but the one who really calls the shots in the inner court is my mother. Having her bear a grudge against you would make for difficult days; just the reduced personal spending allowance alone would show that. If you’re concerned, just ask any of those concubines trying to curry favor and they’ll tell you.
"The clever concubines would rather offend my grandmother than dare to cross my mother."
"Really?" Gu Youyou was somewhat surprised and said, "I’m not competing with your mother for favor."
Lin Qianqing lowered her voice and said, "I felt a rapport with you, which is why I’m reminding you. What joys do women in the depths of a mansion have? Isn’t it all about battling for themselves and their children? Once they have outmaneuvered all the women of a household, they start battling those from other families..."
"Stop right there, don’t tell me your mother wants to seek amusement by picking a fight with me too?"
"Alas, of course not, what I mean is, whoever makes them unhappy, they’ll scheme in every possible way to make that person miserable for a lifetime. Isn’t that why you’re now remembered with resentment by my mother?"
Gu Youyou looked at Lin Qianqing speechlessly. Had she known it would be such a hassle, she would have kept a lower profile! She should have stayed away from Lin Qianqing earlier.
