Yueyao naturally also discerned Zhuang Ruolan’s intentions and smiled, shaking her head, "Next time!" Yueyao, though not fond of dealing with those trivial matters, knew that she had to learn them, and not just learn them, but master them.
Yueyao hadn’t expected that Loo Ying’s first day as steward would run into trouble, with the midday meal delayed by an hour. Yueyao asked in surprise, "How could something like this happen?"

Yueyao shook her head, "No need, don’t bother with outside matters." There were so many servants up and down in Ma’s Mansion, surely each had their own thoughts, probably using Loo Ying as a scapegoat.
In the following days, there were always some mistakes. Loo Ying made no major blunders, but she tended to handle things presumptuously. Yet, rules governed everything in the mansion, and the servant women beneath her, seeing Loo Ying’s ignorance, took advantage of her naivety, insisting that everything must be done according to the rules, leaving Loo Ying embarrassed and disheveled.
Yueyao was sketching in the backyard, not painting anything particular, just capturing a scene before her.
Upon seeing Yueyao set aside her brush, Xi Yu began to discuss the mansion’s gossip, and after finishing, she added, "Cai Yi was retained by the Eldest Young Madam to support us, only stepping in after the situation blew up. Miss, do you think Cai Yi did it on purpose?"
Yueyao instructs Xi Juan to pack up the painting materials and then turns to Xi Yu, "No matter the reasons, we shall not get involved."
Five days later, Zhuang Ruolan returned. Her brother, Zhuang Changhe’s wedding had kept her exceedingly busy, but she was happy to be involved in the arrangements during her brother’s marriage.
