Bab 363: Asking for leave

" I hope that you will learn how to fawn on the old matriarch, do not look down on the fact that she is a bit crazy in the head. She is still held in high regard by the old lord, do you understand Yaoyue?  That old woman is the key to winning the favour of your father, don't think that just because your father is paying attention to you, the favour will remain! Look at your half-sisters, even they sucked up to the crazy old bat like she was their ancestor, why could you not be as cute or wise as them?" 

The group of five women stepped out of the main manor where Second Madam continued to berate her daughter who had her head lowered. They just finished having tea with the old matriarch but as everyone already expected there was nothing that Eldest Miss Yaoyue could do other than brew the golden snap tea to the finest while sitting next to the old matriarch who was brought to the tea room after taking her daily nap.
