Chapter 418 - 147: Drawing_2
Yueyao wasn’t the proactive type, simply answering when spoken to. After a short conversation, Yuebing found it exceedingly dull and thus left the Lanxi Courtyard.
Once everyone had left, Yueyao watched Nanny Cui’s retreating figure. Nanny Cui was no simple character; in her past life, Yuebing’s ability to secure her place in the Marquis’ household owed much to Nanny Cui’s efforts. Yueyao hoped that Nanny Cui wouldn’t set her sights on her.
As soon as Nanny Wang returned to the courtyard, she asked, "Second Young Lady, tell me what you’ve observed."
After pondering for a moment, Yuebing said, "The Eldest Miss believes in speaking less to avoid mistakes, staying out of matters; the third younger sister does not wish to be close to us, thus she is very distant; the Fourth Miss is rather thin-skinned."
Nanny Wang nodded. Except for the description of the Third Young Lady not being entirely accurate, the characterizations of the Eldest Miss and Fourth Miss were spot on. She then asked, "Have you considered why the Third Young Lady is courteous to you?"
Yuebing shook her head, "The third younger sister is cautious of my mother; she will not befriend me." As for why Yueyao would be cautious of her, Yuebing had a clear idea in her mind, and it was precisely because she knew the reason that she understood even more that Yueyao would not befriend her.
Nanny Wang shook her head and said, "The Third Young Lady is cold, but she is measured in her actions. You just need to make it known to outsiders that you sisters have a close relationship." With the Third Young Lady’s temperament, she would be on guard against the Second Young Lady rather than becoming friends with her.
Yuebing thought for a long time and then said, "Mother, I understand." They were sisters, and if Yueyao wished to preserve her own reputation, she wouldn’t let others know that she had a bad relationship with her. This left Yuebing with an opportunity. However, Yuebing was somewhat uncertain if Yueyao could befriend noble girls.
Nanny Wang didn’t provide a definite answer, "We’ll just have to wait and see." Nanny Wang couldn’t give Yuebing a hundred percent certainty, but she felt that Yueyao could achieve it.
