Capítulo 159: More Beautiful Than Silver

"Really. See, I unintentionally became friends with Ru'er and caught Old Mistress Wang's eye. How lucky I am! One is a princess, and the other is the daughter of the Grand Perceptor. Oh my, I'm worry-free for the rest of my life."

The old lady chuckled and then sighed deeply.

"The poor envy those with money, and those with money envy those with power. The higher you climb, the harder you fall. Look at those high-ranking officials in the capital. They all form cliques and alliances. One misstep and they could lose their lives. I still think it's good to stay in Tianshui Town."

"Wealth and privilege come with their dangers. Those who pursue them willingly accept the risks."

"Ru'er doesn't want to climb high, but the high branches just happen to notice her. Fools indeed have their luck."

"Ru'er is innocent and lively, but she's not foolish. She understands many things very well."
