Chapter 560 - 570 Complaining
"Second Brother, our mother passed away early, Father and Eldest Brother are often too busy to be at home, and you, you raised Ayun personally. I know you dote on Ayun the most, but now Ayun is at the brink of death. Second Brother, do you even care?"
Today was the joyous occasion of Xie Qinyun’s coming-of-age ceremony, and she came to the inner courtyard with her maids and nannies, bursting with indignation. Without a word of preamble, she launched into this tirade, leaving Concubine Du and the Jie Family’s Second Young Master baffled by her meaning.
Concubine Du, sensing which way the wind was blowing, quickly offered Xie Qinyun a seat personally, coaxing her with a gentle voice, "Third Miss, please sit down, don’t be hasty, speak slowly."
Her suggestion wasn’t wrong; standing was indeed tiring, while sitting was more comfortable.
Xie Qinyun took a seat without reservation.
"Out with it. What is this all about?" asked the Second Young Master with a stern expression.
Xie Qinyun replied, "Second Brother, today the Fo Family’s Second Young Madam came with their fifth daughter, and at first, I was quite happy, but their words..." She touched her chest, saying, "It hurts right here, it’s still aching."
"What did they say?" Second Young Master’s eyes darkened as he started tapping on the table.
He could guess, if not fully know, what his personally raised sister harbored in her heart.
What could these women possibly gossip about when gathered together? It was nothing more than disdain for Aqing being a concubine, for the Jie Residence lacking people, and they even let a concubine preside over the Jie Family’s only daughter’s coming-of-age ceremony.
