Chapter 444 - 161: Disdain_2
Yueyao briefly explained the reason.
Zhuang Ruolan couldn’t help but smile through her tears, so it turned out the shop made a mistake and Yueyao had reaped a huge benefit. Zhuang Ruolan shook her head with a smile, "You girl, your hands are not soft at all!" Zhuang Ruolan had always thought that Yueyao didn’t understand the cost of household needs, but now it seemed this girl likely kept a mental tally; she didn’t care about small money, but she definitely kept track of large amounts.
Zhuang Ruolan, thinking of Yueyao’s sensibility, felt that she had overthought it.
After Yueyao returned to Ma’s Mansion, she put the day’s events out of her mind, but Shen Conghao bore them in his heart, making him feel very heavy-hearted.
Lady Mu was very saddened by her son, knowing his abnormal behavior must mean something. Lady Mu summoned Shen Conghao’s personal young servant and asked, "What happened to the Second Young Master outside today?" Unlike Guan Jingshuo, Lady Mu was his birth mother, and the servant never thought to deceive Lady Mu.
After hearing the servant recount the day’s events, Lady Mu’s expression darkened. She had never held Yueyao in high regard; an orphan couldn’t provide any support for her son and was merely a burden.
Later, when Yueyao’s notorious reputation spread, it only distressed Lady Mu more; now with two additional issues, how could Lady Mu feel at ease?
Lady Mu’s Nanny gently massaged her shoulders and softly commented, "Madam, don’t rush things. After all, Third Miss Lian is still young. It will be better in a couple of years."
Lady Mu snorted coldly, "Still young? She’s already ten years old this year. There’s a saying that at three, you see them young; at five, you see them old. With such a disposition, she’s bound to bring disaster to Haohao." She paused, then added, "Knowing it was Heir Ning, she still didn’t spare him. In the future, she’ll definitely be a troublemaker, stirring unrest at home, and spends money like water flowing, spending over 5000 taels on a single purchase as if she has mountains of gold and silver, absolutely absurd." She could only feel a throbbing pain every time she thought of such a person becoming her daughter-in-law.
