She Became A Downfall Noble Lady

Jinrong took the teapot from Hongzhi and poured her a cup of tea, smiling as he said, "So it was for this reason. Well, then we should praise something else. As the saying goes, ’knowing oneself is a true virtue.’ It’s rare for someone to have such self-awareness as Miss Ye does."

Ye Xinyan glared at Jinrong, realizing that the term ’trumped-up’ wasn’t only applicable in the context of framing someone for a crime.

Jinrong laughed when she glared at him, "Alright, alright. It’s not important what kind of person you are, what’s important is that you display your character without any disguise. I think it’s quite good. Certainly better than those who smile while scheming against others."

This was basically saying she was stupid.

It would be better to return to the main point, "Doesn’t Sixth Master always count on me earning large coins for you? How can you listen to such words and not feel the slightest bit downtrodden or worried? If my grandfather brings me back, as Duke An’s Mansion’s granddaughter, who was sent back to her mother’s home, I certainly won’t be allowed to work. Won’t that slow down your business expansion, Sixth Master?"

Ye Xinyan thought of another possibility, "Or have you already got everything figured out, believing that whether or not you have me as a manager is not crucial and won’t affect your business and earning silver?"

Jinrong instantly put on a smug look, "Did Zhao Gang not explain things thoroughly to you? You, a clever person, why don’t you think more deeply? Do you really need to ask others such questions?"

Ye Xinyan, looking at Jinrong’s annoyingly smug face, thought that if it were the era she grew up in, someone with his attitude would definitely have no friends.
