Chapter 518 - 196 Borrowing Money
The sky was a deep blue, resembling a sapphire.
Yueyao looked up at the sky until her neck began to ache and then she lowered her head; luckily, there was no sun, otherwise it might have hurt her eyes.
Hua Lei came over and said, "Miss, everything is packed up." This time, the miss had ordered all her paintings to be taken away, and the valuable writing tools were all packed up; there were many boxes and trunks of odds and ends.
Xiang Wei, unlike Hua Lei, did not ask questions even though she had them: "Does the Third Young Lady plan not to return to the Lian Mansion?" If it were not for such a thought, she wouldn’t have packed all these necessary and fine items.
Yueyao shook her head, "I will still return for the New Year, but other times I do not want to stay in the Lian Mansion." She had not yet figured out a method, but she was sure she would eventually find a way.
A thought flashed through Xiang Wei’s mind: "Are you worried that they might harm you?"
Yueyao laughed lightly, "They are the sort to devour someone without spitting out the bones. When I return, I will need you to keep an eye on the people in the courtyard. I definitely do not want to be harmed by them."
Xiang Wei nodded and replied, "Alright."
That evening, while Yueyao was taking a walk in the courtyard, Xi Yu brought her a note, "Miss, this was given to me by Hong Ling, the personal maid of the Fourth Miss."
Yueyao opened the note, which contained only two words: borrowing two hundred taels of silver.
Yueyao, surprised, said, "Has the Fourth Miss encountered something recently?" Risking exposure to borrow money, there must definitely be an urgent matter.
Nanny Hao shook her head. "I have not heard that the Fourth Miss has any urgent matters. Miss, you are not really considering lending her money, are you?" It was only because the Third Young Lady was kind-hearted; others would not bother with her! She always circled around the Second Young Lady, even helping the Second Young Lady to bully her own miss, and now she had the audacity to come and borrow money. She had seen thick-skinned people, but never one this shameless.
