Liu MiaoQiu stood up. When she heard that ShangGuan LingLan wanted to report the matter to Yun momo, she was seized by panic. She said, “For… Forget it.”

“Humph! Even she herself said to forget it, why are you guys poking your nose in other people’s business?” Complacency was evident in Dong SiEr’s eyes when she cast an indifferent glance at Jing Yue’s group. She turned around and walked into the room with her chin raised.

Jing Yue and ShangGuan LingLan’s expressions were gloomy. They turned around and looked at Liu MiaoQiu with resentment as she didn’t live up to their expectation. You say, how vexing is this? It was obvious that they can use this opportunity to suppress Dong SiEr! But in the end, they were turned into people who like poking their noses in other people’s business!

“I… I’m sorry… for dragging you into this…” Liu MiaoQiu said carefully while looking at Jing Yue’s group. Faint tear stains were still visible on her cheeks.

“My God… I give up!” Jing Yue held her forehead and sighed, turning around and walked into their own courtyard.

Ning XiangYuan’s face was filled with pity as she watched Liu MiaoQiu struggling to carry her trunk back into her room. Turning around, she followed Jing Yue and sat back in her seat.

“Can you believe that?” Jing Yue said, feeling vexed as she raised the teacup and drank from the tea on the table. Jing Yue just wanted to use this opportunity to help Liu MiaoQiu to speak for herself since she had helped her once when Jing Yan fell into the water back then,  but she didn’t expect it to end like this.

“Jing Yue, don’t blame Liu MiaoQiu. With her family’s situation, it’s no wonder she’d chose to keep enduring everything.” ShangGuan LingLan said, sighing helplessly.

Jing Yue, who was drinking tea, paused. She blinked her eyes and turned her head towards  ShangGuan LingLan, “Her family? What’s wrong with her family?”

“I know only a little about this matter.” Ning XiangYuan slowly said, “Liu MiaoQiu is a concubine-born daughter in her family. When her mother was alive, she was not like this. Her mother was quite favored, thus although she’s a concubine-born, she was treated like a legal daughter.”

Jing Yue knew a bit about the differences between a legal and a concubine-born status. She blinked and glanced at Ning XiangYuan, feeling doubtful, “Then how could things become like this?”

“This situation started two years ago after her mother died.” Ning XiangYuan sighed, “It’s normal for the legal wife to suppress concubine-born daughters. Without a mother’s protection, her life inside the Liu residence is just like the servants’.” The Liu family’s master doesn’t pay any attention to the rear court’s matter, thus over the time, she became like this.”

“So it’s like that… Then what about those scrolls of paintings and calligraphy? They seem very precious to her.” Jing Yue asked with a frown.

“Liu MiaoQiu’s mother was a talented girl whose fame was widely known in the capital, those scrolls were made by her mother. Perhaps to remember her mother, she always brings those scrolls with her, never expecting matter like today’s.” Ning XiangYuan sighed.

“Since it’s like this, that’s the more reason we can’t let Dong SiEr off so easily!” Jing Yue scowled.

“YueYue, she’s only a concubine-born daughter. What would happen to her in the future if she is to cause Dong SiEr’s expulsion from the school? Hiding in one place and never to meet anyone again?” Ning XiangYuan said and shook her head.

“This…” Jing Yue frowned. Say, why is it so tiring just to be a decent human being!?

“Never mind, if there’s something we can help her with in this school, we’ll help.” ShangGuan LingLan also couldn’t do anything. Although she knew a bit of Liu MiaoQiu’s circumstances she wasn’t aware that Liu MiaoQiu’s life was this hard.

“She’d definitely get bullied often if she is to continue living together with Dong SiEr’s group. Let’s have a talk with Yun momo and have her stay with us.” Jing Yue said through pursed lips.

Ning XiangYuan’s and ShangGuan LingLan’s eyes brightened at the idea nodding both of their heads in agreement.
