Chapter 367: Stood in the Way

The maid described, “As expected of Madam Lan, you’re truly the best judge of character! Miss Ye did not say a word when the eldest young madam tried to come for her. In fact, no matter what the eldest young madam said, Miss Ye was magnanimous enough to endure everything. She even persuaded the young master not to get angry with the eldest young madam because she was pregnant. It was because of her hormone that the eldest young madam was acting like this. She didn’t mean it.

“The eldest young madam claimed that Miss Ye is hypocritical and told the young master to not fall for her tricks. However, everyone at the house knows that the eldest young madam is the biggest hypocrite! She is worried that her position might be replaced, and she’d end up with nothing!”

The maid sighed, “Our eldest young madam has never been that clever! Eventually, as gracious as Miss Ye was, she couldn’t stand the slander anymore. Therefore, she volunteered to move out of our house! No matter how hard Miss Gu and the eldest miss tried to stop her, it was pointless. Miss Ye didn’t say a word to the young master. She merely wiped her tears and left.”

Auntie Lan nodded like she was listening to some television drama. She turned to Auntie Bai Rui. “Doesn’t that mean our young master’s heart has moved out as well?”

The maid’s eyes widened. “Madam, were you there? How did you know?”

Auntie Lan smiled. “Don’t flatter me too much. It’s making me sound like a genius when I’m not.”

The maid was embarrassed. She smiled and continued, “Madam, your guess is accurate. The young master immediately picked up his bags and left with Miss Ye. No matter how hard the eldest young madam begged, he wouldn’t stay. She even went down on her knees. None of us dared to do anything. We had to look after the eldest young madam. After all, she is at the late stage of her pregnancy! Madams, it was so chaotic!”

The maid slapped her thigh.

Auntie Bai Rui frowned. “Jing Ning left like that? What about Nanyang? Did Jing Ning’s father and mother not care at all?”

The maid sighed. “We’re not too sure about eldest madam’s thought. Back when the young master hadn’t married eldest young madam, eldest madam was very fond of eldest young madam. She wished every day for the young master to marry the eldest young madam. However, no one had anticipated the Nan Family’s downfall. The eldest madam immediately went back on her words, but the eldest young madam took the initiative and got pregnant first. Eldest madam had no choice but to have young master marry the eldest young madam. After that, eldest madam felt like she had owed the young master. Ever since eldest young madam entered the Jing Family, there has not been a day of peace.”

The maid lowered her voice, “Before the marriage, the eldest young madam often came to visit. We were all captivated by her gentle and demure nature. We could see why the young master had fallen for her. But now?

“After marrying into the house, it’s one thing for her to be lazy, after all, she is pregnant. However, her temper and personality are completely different from before. She often got into arguments with the eldest madam. Eldest madam would get so angry that she’d lose her appetite for the day.

“We really can’t judge a book by its cover. She was such a well-respected young lady, but now she was no better than a common shrew. She has even forced the young master away because of it.”

This maid knew her audience. She saw the three of us in the side hall busy with our theses, so she didn’t mention a single word about Jing Ni and me. No wonder she could get so much reward money from Auntie Lan and Auntie Bai Rui.

The maid was a servant of the Jing Family, so she spoke from the Jing Family’s standpoint. This showed how awkward Nanyang’s situation was in the Jing Family.

As expected, Jing Ning fell into Ye Qian’s trap.

Thinking back, Nanyang was playing my role from my previous life.

However, Nanyang’s situation was better than mine. I was chased out of the Jing Family when I was five months pregnant. I didn’t even know it was Ye Qian who edged me out. She did that merely because I stood in her way.

This time, it was Nanyang who stood in her way.
