Chapter 561 - 217 Moving Out of Lian Mansion (Part 2)_2
Eldest Miss was so cold even to the Third Young Lady who had helped her so much, what affection could she hold for her maid who had served her for many years? With such a cold nature, should her future really depend on the Eldest Miss? The more Cai Qing thought about it, the colder her heart grew.
Yuebing was also full of doubts.
Nanny Cui had known for a long time that there was more to this matter and upon returning to the inner chamber, she said, "Miss, it’s best if you don’t inquire further into this matter." It was a sensitive time, and the Second Young Lady asking too many questions might also result in punishment from the Old Master.
Yuebing hesitated for a moment and said, "I don’t think Yueyao’s visit to Ma’s Mansion is just for a month or two." If it were just for a month or two, there would be no need to pack up everything.
Nanny Cui sighed inwardly, "That’s why, Miss, you shouldn’t inquire any further. It’s good that the Third Young Lady will reside permanently at Ma’s Mansion. With the Third Young Lady absent from the mansion, there will be fewer disputes in the future." When the Old Madam was alive, the Lian Mansion was clean and free of trouble. But since the Old Madam’s death, the seemingly harmless Third Young Lady had risen up, often clashing with Madam. The Third Young Lady was cunning and had her maternal uncle as a backer. Not only could Madam not outmaneuver her, she consistently found herself at a disadvantage, hence stirring unrest in Lian Mansion. With the Third Young Lady gone, Lian Mansion might return to its former tranquility.
Nanny Cui actually disapproved of Lady Mo’s actions. Using such ruthless means for money, even against her own niece, was too cruel. Nanny Cui now regretted returning to become the steward mother for the Second Young Lady but it was too late for regrets. Having chosen a master, one must remain loyal for life; changing allegiance midway would mean no one would employ her again. All she could do now was to guide the Second Young Lady well, ensuring she wouldn’t turn out like Madam, or she’d truly be beyond redemption.
Yuehuan returned only to sit, stunned.
Hong Mei whispered, "Miss, we shouldn’t interfere in this matter. If the Third Young Lady encounters trouble, her maternal uncle will seek justice for her, but we don’t have the same support." If Yuehuan were in trouble, Maternal Aunt Su wouldn’t support her either.
