Chapter 566 - 219 Checking into Ma’s Mansion (Part 1)_2
Ma Linlin strongly agreed with her mother’s words, "Good."
Loo Ying’s expression soured upon hearing that Yueyao would be living in Ma’s Mansion for a long time. Previously, even Yueyao’s temporary stay had left Loo Ying struggling to breathe under her pressure. Now with Yueyao settling in permanently, Loo Ying was sure to live a life even more in dire straits.
As Loo Ying pondered her future actions, she overheard the maids in the courtyard discussing the belongings Yueyao had brought with her.
One of the younger maids said, "I heard from a nanny in the front yard that Miss Yao has a lot of things. These thirty-some boxes aren’t even half of it. This time, Miss Yao has brought all her belongings."
Hearing this, Loo Ying’s newly regained composure was lost again. When she had arrived at Lian Mansion, she had brought only a few sets of clothes. But Yueyao had brought dozens of boxes. This comparison made Loo Ying even more unsettled.
Madam Tang didn’t care how many boxes Yueyao brought over; she found the news of Yueyao’s long-term stay at Ma’s Mansion very odd, "Why would Cousin Sister Yao leave Lian Mansion, where she is perfectly content, to live in Ma’s Mansion for an extended period?" It wasn’t that Madam Tang was stingy or thought Yueyao shouldn’t stay in Ma’s Mansion for an extended period, but the situation seemed bizarre. The Old Master and Madam Zhuang had previously gone to Lian Mansion, with Madam Zhuang even spending a night there, which was quite unusual. Furthermore, unlike Loo Ying, the scholarly Lian family was known for valuing their reputation. Why would they allow Yueyao to reside in Ma’s Mansion for long?
Madam Tang’s maid Su Zhen shook her head, equally puzzled, "I have had people trying to collect information for the past two days, but those folks are very tight-lipped. Madam, even though we couldn’t uncover much, it’s certain that something must have happened to Miss Yao in Lian Mansion. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be willing to let her come stay here for the long term."
Madam Tang nodded. In Ma’s Mansion, who didn’t know that the Old Master adored his niece more than his own children? Not just the Old Master, but even the Eldest Young Master was extremely fond of this cousin. There had been rumors throughout the mansion that the Old Master wanted to bring Yueyao to live here permanently, but Lian family had not agreed, causing the matter to be at a standstill.
