FSC [QT] Chapter 111.2

“The Young Lady will enter the palace tomorrow, but the Eldest Madam hasn’t come to visit the Young Lady yet.”

On the night before all the daughters of the fifth-rank and above officials were to enter the palace, Qiao Xin complained again while serving Ling Zhuo wash up.

“I heard that Eldest Madam stayed in the Chuzhen Courtyard all day today and had lunch and dinner at the Seventh Young Lady’s place. I guess she taught the Seventh Young Lady a lot of things to pay attention to in the palace.”

This was the umpteenth time she had mentioned the partiality of the Eldest Madam and the Marquis in these days.

While saying these words, Qiao Xin was also observing the Young Lady’s expression.

“It’s obvious that before the Seventh Young Lady returned to the mansion, the Eldest  Madam and the Marquis loved Young Lady the most. Whenever there was something new in the mansion, they would send it to you first, and only after you had chosen it would it be the turn of others.”

The little girl pouted and complained: “It’s all the Seventh Young Lady’s fault. If only she hadn’t shown up, it would have been fine.”

Qiao Xin glanced at Ling Zhuo and saw that her expression was distorted with jealousy. The gold hairpin in her hand was even bent out of shape due to her excessively angry force. It was obvious that her words these days were not in vain.

Qiao Xin was delighted, closed her mouth, and stopped talking. She also understood the principle of overdoing something.

When it was time to go to bed, Ling Zhuo refused Qiao Xin’s offer to keep her company all night, but she didn’t care.

She just thought that the Young Lady was still angry about the Eldest Madam’s favoritism and was happy to have one less job of keeping the Young Lady company all night and feel more relaxed.

After Qiao Xin left, Ling Zhuo’s expression changed immediately. There was no jealousy on her face. Her expression was calm, but there was a bit of sarcasm in her eyes.

It is true that a friend in need is a friend indeed.

Before her true identity was exposed, the maids in her courtyard were quite loyal. But after her identity was exposed, those who were short-sighted probably felt that they were wronged by following her, the fake master, and their future became bleak. All kinds of people came out at once.

Including Qiao Xin, who was good at speaking and was used to saying nice things. Before this, besides Qiao Si, who was given by her mother, Ling Zhuo liked this girl the most, but now it seemed that this girl had other thoughts.

These days, she always talked about her parents’ partiality in front of her, and the difference in treatment between Ling Wu and her, as if she wanted to provoke her jealousy and disgust toward Ling Wu.

Just now, she pretended to say casually that it would be better if Ling Wu was not here. What did she want to do? Make her lose her mind in jealousy and attack Ling Wu?

Ling Zhuo is not stupid.

Before, she just didn’t bother to think about anything because her mother protected her.

Now that she had suddenly lost the capital of being spoiled, she had gradually sobered up over time and had become more rational when thinking about problems.

This girl couldn’t be kept!

Ling Zhuo grabbed the quilt. Qiao Xin’s words in her ears these days still had some impact on her. When she thought that it was so late and her mother was still staying in Ling Wu’s room to answer her questions, Ling Zhuo felt a little bitter.

She knew that she was her mother’s biological daughter. Unlike her, who had been accustomed to this lifestyle for eleven years, Ling Wu obviously needed more advice.

But reason was one thing, and emotion was another.

Since her identity was exposed, Ling Zhuo suddenly went from being the pampered daughter of the Marquis’s mansion to a neglected fake lady.

Most of her parents’ care and love were given to Ling Wu, and they would only think of her occasionally.

Ling Zhuo was still unwilling to accept this. Was the relationship of eleven years really not as important as blood ties?

“Eldest Madam, where do you want to go?”

At night, Mrs. Fan came out of Ah Wu’s yard and walked to the small path on the left. Nanny Liu asked a question because this was not the way to the main courtyard.

“The lights should still be on in Ah Zhuo’s yard, right?”

Mrs. Fan was worried about her biological daughter, so she spent a lot of energy teaching her the rules of the palace. When she came to her senses, it was already the day before these girls were about to enter the palace.

These days, she has indeed neglected Ling Zhuo.

Mrs. Fan looked at the sky, and after much thought, she decided to go sit with her adopted daughter and give her some advice.

“When the Sixth Young Lady heard that Eldest Madam had come over, she would happily get up from her bed even if the lights were already turned off.”

Nanny Liu glanced at the Eldest Madam and re-evaluated Ling Zhuo’s status in front of the master of the Marquis’s Mansion. After all, she had raised her for eleven years, and it seemed that the Eldest Madam still couldn’t let go of this daughter.

That night, the lights in Ling Zhuo’s yard were on for half the night.

The next day, when Ah Wu saw Ling Zhuo getting on the carriage early, she was almost blinded by the smile on her face.

That always awkward little girl actually smiled at her. Ah Wu had already stepped half a foot into the carriage, but she couldn’t help but step back to see if the sun outside was rising from the west.

After confirming that the sun was still rising in the east and west, Ah Wu walked into the carriage, took out the medicinal candied fruit, and ate it silently.

“Deputy Eunuch, when those young ladies are all here, do you want to go over and say a few words?”

The highest Moon-Lanyue Tower in the imperial can almost see all the scenery of the imperial city, but the wind is a bit strong.

The crimson hem of the robe fluttered in the wind, but the person wearing the robe stood still like a pine tree.

At this time, the carriages driving into the imperial city were as small as ants in the eyes of the people upstairs.

Yu Yan knew that in one of these carriages sat his beloved sister whom he missed day and night.

“Yeah.”

Although he wanted to refuse, his body subconsciously gave the answer he wanted the most.

Just one meeting, just one meeting.

Yu Yan comforted himself in this way.
