Yun Ya smiled and said, "Yes, her na is Li Xiaoxiao. Unexpectedly, like , she’s also from Jiangzhou. We got along at once and can definitely have a good conversation."
ng Shujing glanced at her twice. Her words seed devoid of any scheming, but based on prior judgnts, ng Shujing felt that when this girl appeared innocent, she was actually hiding her true intentions.
"Is that so? This Li Xiaoxiao has a bad reputation. It’s best for you to stay away from her to avoid any potential trouble she might bring you."
Yun Ya said in surprise, "Really? She seems nice and even made pastries for by hand."
"I’ve said my piece, you should be more cautious."
Yun Ya furrowed her brows and nodded, "Thank you for the reminder, auntie."
"Alright, I should be going. I quite enjoyed eting you today, much better than my two girls back ho. They should learn more from you—learn so dignified manners of a well-bred lady. Just hope you don’t find it troubleso, Yun Ya."
"How could I? I’m cooped up in the house all day, longing for so excitent."
ng Shujing stood up and walked out. Yun Ya stood up to see her off. ng Shujing smiled and held her hand, "It’s cold outside, please stay inside and rest. I’ll be leaving now."
"The snowy road is slippery, take your ti walking, auntie."
"Alright." ng Shujing nodded with a smile.
"Ah Yun, see auntie downstairs," Yun Ya instructed.
After walking a couple of steps, ng Shujing suddenly turned her head to look at Yun Ya, "What does Yun Ya think of Ah Ci?"
Yun Ya was taken aback for a mont, then smiled and said, "Miss ng is bright and charming, clever and lovable. Whoever gets to marry her truly has an enormous blessing."
ng Shujing smiled with satisfaction, "Your words are sweet. If our Ah Ci were as good as you say, I wouldn’t have any worries."
"Miss ng is still young, auntie shouldn’t worry about her future. There will always be a man with keen eyes who will see Miss ng’s virtues."
"I hope so." ng Shujing sighed as she left.
Watching ng Shujing’s figure disappear at the door, Yun Ya sat back down and picked up a cup to toy with.
Soon, Ah Yun returned and asked, "Miss, what did the madam an?"
"She’s trying to win over. This woman changes faces faster than flipping a book." Yun Ya smiled slightly, "It seems she’s figured it out and wants to marry ng Junci to Yan Ke."
Ah Yun’s eyes widened in surprise, "How does Miss know? The madam clearly said nothing!"
Yun Ya gave her a look with a smile.
Ah Yun pouted in grievance, "I’m not as smart as Miss."
"Then learn, and keep your wits about you, especially in this deep mansion. You might not even know how you die if you’re not careful."
Ah Yun shrank her neck. It was only because she followed Miss closely that she learned to be more wary, yet she still couldn’t keep up with Miss. How could Miss be so smart, as if she knew everything? The conversation between her and the madam was so roundabout, and she didn’t understand any of it, yet Miss understood it all.
She felt her intelligence needed a recharge.
Yun Ya feared scaring her, so she softened her tone, "Seeing my position is stable, it’s a bit hard for her to overthrow . Like when she warned about Li Xiaoxiao, she was trying to curry favor with . She absolutely knows who the person behind the scenes is. She originally wanted to use soone else to get rid of , but after going around today, she suddenly changed her mind. Heh, this woman is quite adept at adapting to situations."
Ah Yun pondered and said, "Will Miss ng marry Young Master Yan Ke?"
"No," Yun Ya answered decisively.
Ah Yun was puzzled. The madam’s last words clearly seed to make so kind of agreent with Miss. Is Miss now turning her back on it?
Yun Ya toyed with the Purple Sand Cup, her eyebrows cool and indifferent, smiling slightly, "I had always heard rumors that Eldest Miss ng was pursuing Yan Ke, but at my first sight of ng Junci, I knew this rumor was mistaken. It’s like having a supre Great Red Robe tea in front of you, yet you go for a two-yuan pack of jasmine tea. Unless your head isn’t screwed on right or you’re a person of extre principles, I believe ng Junci isn’t either."
This ti, Ah Yun reacted quickly, "Young Master Yan Song is the Great Red Robe, and Young Master Yan Ke is the jasmine tea?"
"Although Yan Ke is not bad, once you’ve seen the grandeur of tall mountains, why settle for small hills?" It wasn’t Yun Ya boasting herself, but compared to Yan Ke, Brother Yan was indeed much more outstanding. In every aspect, he possessed all the qualities that could make a woman’s heart flutter.
Ah Yun frowned, "Miss ans that Miss ng likes Young Master Yan Song?"
This woman, wasn’t she fond of Young Master Yan Ke? Has she changed her affections so quickly? Unreliable.
"That’s why she can’t possibly be at peace marrying Yan Ke. Besides, Yan Ke doesn’t fancy her either. Pairing them up would only ruin them both. Yan Ke calls sister; I can’t harm him." Moreover, ng Junci had her eyes on her Brother Yan and would often, intentionally or unintentionally, taunt her. Yun Ya noticed it all. It’s not that she wouldn’t retaliate; it’s just not the right ti yet.
