Chapter 646 - 267 follow-up_3
Yuebing felt a little sad, "But Yueyao is now..." She was supposed to be a great asset, but now she had become their family’s enemy and would turn into an obstacle for her.
Nanny Cui said, "Miss need not worry, during social gatherings in the future, the Third Young Lady will surely maintain a superficial relationship with you." Nanny Cui paused for a moment before continuing, "Miss, you must look at the bigger picture in everything you do, seeing further will allow you to stand taller."
Nanny Cui thought Lady Mo’s actions were shortsighted, even foolish. If Lady Mo had been astute, she would have treated Yueyao and Tingzheng well, and also sought to curry favor with the Ma Family and the Li Family. This would not only have been beneficial for her children’s matrimonial prospects, but it would also have been advantageous for her Old Master’s career. Yet, Lady Mo had brought disgrace upon herself for the sake of several hundred thousand taels of silver, tarnishing not just her own reputation, but also burdening her children. Thankfully, the Eldest Young Master was resilient, or else who knows what would have happened.
Yuebing nodded her head and said, "Don’t worry, Mother. I know what to do."
Nanny Cui nodded in response. Ever since news spread throughout the Lian Mansion about Lady Mo poisoning Yueyao, Nanny Cui had been guiding Yuebing, advising her to take a long-term perspective in handling matters. Nanny Cui didn’t want Yuebing to be influenced by Lady Mo, and fortunately, her teachings had been effective, which allowed Nanny Cui to breathe a sigh of relief.
Yueying received this news while clutching an embroidered brocade blanket so tightly that the silk fabric nearly wrinkled.
Cai Qing watched in horror, "Miss, please let go, if it gets wrinkled, you’ll have to re-embroider it." Cai Qing truly couldn’t understand why her mistress lost control every time she heard about the Third Young Lady. In the Lian Mansion, the Third Young Lady had provided the most assistance to their Mistress, but now it seemed as if the Eldest Miss held a grudge against her, which was beyond her comprehension.
Yueying, looking at the state of the silk fabric, calmly said, "You may leave."
Cai Qing withdrew, returning to her own room. She sat on her bed, deep in contemplation. Cai Qing had been distressed for many days over Yueying’s attitude towards Yueyao, eventually confiding in her aunt.
