Chapter 645 - 267 Follow-up_2
Mu Qinglian thought for a moment and realized she had been too hasty.
Xia Liu said, "Miss, just because we can’t punish her doesn’t mean others can’t. Miss, Great Aunt is Yueyao’s future mother-in-law. If we tell Great Aunt about this, I’m sure she will take revenge for Miss."
Mu Qinglian glanced at Xia Liu, "Have you lost your mind? Although my aunt is Yueyao’s future mother-in-law, Yueyao hasn’t married into their family yet. If I punish Yueyao because of this, my aunt will have to suffer the consequences as well." What kind of a mess is this idea.
Xia Liu stopped talking.
But Mu Qinglian was thinking of someone who could help her take revenge. This person must have absolutely no apparent connection to her.
Mu Qinglian did not tell Lady Mu about this matter, but it was the talk of the town, and it would be hard for Lady Mu not to know. After finding out, Lady Mu’s face turned extremely grim. That wretched girl was really brazen, knowing full well Qinglian was her niece, yet daring to step on Qinglian to rise up.
Nanny Kong whispered in persuasion, "Madam, it’s good for us that Miss Lian can gain such a reputation. Think about it, Madam. Miss Lian being able to converse with Master Xuan Tian and her skill in painting Buddha images, how great a blessing that must be!"
A look of disdain flashed in Lady Mu’s eyes, "No need to say more."
Seeing Lady Mu’s expression, Nanny Kong didn’t know what to say. She didn’t understand why Madam held such antipathy towards Miss Lian!
The news of Yueyao becoming one of the Beauties of the Capital also reached Lian Mansion. Lady Lian was currently busy with her son’s wedding matters and the maids and old nannies below did not dare to pass this news on to her, not even Nanny Lau or Granny Hua. They were all afraid that Lady Lian would rage upon hearing the news.
Right now, Nanny Lau and Nanny Hua were still looking for a way out for themselves! The Old Master’s stance was crystal clear—once the Eldest Young Madam entered the family, Madam was to retreat to the Buddhist hall for meditation and prayers. "A new ruler heralds a new era," and no one knew what would happen once the Eldest Young Madam took charge.
Yuebing was extremely annoyed upon hearing the news. Her skills at the guqin were not bad, and the opportunities would come, but to carve out a name as a talented lady among the many young women of Capital City was extraordinarily difficult. Yet Yueyao had easily risen to share the same fame as Mu Qinglian.
