Chapter 601 - 241 Mingzhu Comes to Seek Refuge (Part 2)
Xiang Wei told Yueyao about some royal gossip concerning the Empress Dowager and the Lady of Marquis Jingning, "Miss might not know this, but the Heir Apparent was taken to the front yard when he was just two years old. The two teachers who educated the Heir Apparent were personally invited by the Empress Dowager." Xiang Wei paused, then added, "Mingzhu was raised by the Lady of Marquis Jingning." Miss Mingzhu was almost ruined by Lady Bai, and if the Heir Apparent had been raised by his own mother, he surely would have been ruined as well.
Yueyao sighed, "The Empress Dowager is truly a good sister."
Xiang Wei disdainfully said, "You think the Empress Dowager is good, but the Marchioness doesn’t think so. She feels that the Empress Dowager’s actions that day were intended to drive a wedge between her and her son, and that their lack of closeness now is all the Empress Dowager’s doing. So, unless absolutely necessary, Lady Bai generally does not allow Mingzhu to go to the palace." According to Xiang Wei, this lady is just foolhardy. It’s only because she encountered such a considerate real sister, otherwise, she might have met the King of Hell long ago.
Yueyao felt that having a good sister like that was also a matter of good fortune, something to be envied, "What you just said makes some sense, perhaps the Marquis was truly trying to disgust the Lady of Marquis Jingning!" Yueyao felt that the intelligence of the Lady of Marquis Jingning was worrisome, perhaps the Marquis was indeed trying to fight poison with poison, so he took Bai Han as a concubine.
Of course, this was just something Yueyao thought mischievously after listening to Xiang Wei. The Marquis was no fool, there was certainly a reason for his actions.
Xiang Wei burst into joy, "There really might be that possibility."
Having finished their gossip, Yueyao’s bath was ready. Xiang Wei said, "Miss, Mingzhu will probably stay in the mountains for a while." In fact, Xiang Wei felt that it was a very good thing for Luo Mingzhu to learn from Yueyao. Yueyao could keep Mingzhu in line and make her obey.
Indeed, the people of the Marquis’ household also clearly saw that Yueyao was of pure nature and sincerely kind to Luo Mingzhu before they felt reassured to let Mingzhu come over.
Yueyao smiled, "I understand." Yueyao was actually a bit lonely, sometimes looking for someone to talk to and finding no one. Mr. Yu Shan, after all, was an elder and she had to keep many things from him; now that Mingzhu was here, it was quite nice.
Just as Xiang Wei nodded her agreement, Yueyao said, "Bai Han shouldn’t be able to survive, right?" Even if the Marquis spared him, the Heir Apparent wouldn’t spare Bai Han.
