She Became A Downfall Noble Lady

Jinrong waved his hand helplessly after hearing Hu Jing’s words and said, "You haven’t dealt with Ye Xinyan, so you don’t know how difficult she is to control. Her family has its own standing; she will pay attention to others if she wishes, and if she doesn’t, she won’t. If she’s truly pushed into a corner, I have no doubt she could invoke the power of Duke An’s Mansion and create a situation where both sides suffer. Not to mention anything else, if her true identity were exposed, spending her life in the rear court would be the best outcome, yet it would be a pity for all her talents."

Hu Jing remarked, "Those who are talented are usually not easy to manage, and given the environment Miss Ye grew up in, it’s hardly possible for others to order her around easily. With such a nature and abilities, it’s no wonder that the strictures of the rear court cannot hold her and that she has a poor reputation amongst the noble ladies of the capital."

Changing his tone to a more persuasive one, Hu Jing continued, "According to Sixth Master, while Miss Ye might be difficult to manage, her heart is in the right place—she’s generous, open-minded, and doesn’t fuss over money and possessions. That makes things easier. The ones to be wary of are those who, upon gaining a bit of skill, become insatiably greedy, jack up their prices on the spot, and remain unfamiliar no matter how much you feed them. Although Sixth Master isn’t afraid of such people, dealing with those of such nature is also unpleasant. Sixth Master should be more accommodating towards Miss Ye."

Jinrong replied with a wry smile, "It’s not that I can’t put up with her, it’s just that sometimes she gives me a headache. All in all, Ye Xinyan is sensible and knows her limits. Just by seeing how she accepted people like Nanny Liu, albeit reluctantly, and uses them with ease as if they were her own, you can tell she is not a base and vulgar person despite being a woman—she has a broad and open mind."

After a moment of contemplation, Hu Jing said, "Cheese powder should be able to be stored for a long time, but I wonder if cream cheese can withstand long-distance transport?"

With a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth, Jinrong said, "You’re thinking the same as I am."

...

When Nanny Liu arrived at the county government office, Jiang Yifan had not returned from his patrol.
