Peng Chun muttered to herself as she returned, “She must have been pretending to faint.” Knowing everything beforehand, she shouldn’t have fainted from grief and anger upon hearing such words.
Yueyao’s fainting was real, but it was not because of the rumors. It was simply due to exhaustion. After staying up all night and being under the sun for such a long time, she took the opportunity to faint.
Upon waking up, Yueyao looked at the familiar bed curtains without any surprise, turned to Nanny Hao by her side, and asked, “What time is it now?”
Nanny Hao replied softly, “The beginning of Hai Hour.”
Yueyao chuckled to herself. She hadn’t expected to sleep for three full shichen. It had been a long time since she had slept so well. The feeling of sleeping in was truly delightful.
Nanny Hao, looking at the Third Young Lady suddenly laughing, felt somewhat startled. She had always thought that the Third Young Lady was too calm, which was out of the ordinary. The recent fainting also did not make sense, and she said, “Miss, Doctor Tang said you fainted due to excessive stimulation combined with overexertion and lack of rest. Doctor Tang said you need to rest well.” In fact, Doctor Tang knew that Yueyao had fainted not because of excessive stimulation but from too much fatigue and lack of rest, a fact which Doctor Tang did not fully disclose. Doctor Tang first saw Tingzheng with a high fever, neglected by everyone, and then Yueyao fainted. Thus, he felt sympathy for her. Especially since Yueyao had shown great filial piety towards the Old Madam, she left a very good impression on Doctor Tang, who therefore spoke in half-truths.
Yueyao smiled slightly and said, “Nanny, you must be wondering why I fainted even though I knew about the matter, right?”
Without making a sound, Nanny Hao indeed harbored doubts.
Yueyao saw this as a rare opportunity to test Nanny Hao and asked, “Nanny, earlier the manor was abuzz with rumors that I am a jinx. Now I’d like to ask Nanny to do something for me.”
Nanny Hao looked at Yueyao, certain that it was nothing good.
Yueyao chuckled, her smile filled with sarcasm and resentment, and said, “Rumors are only bad in the first half. They become even more interesting when you add another part to them.”
Nanny Hao stared at Yueyao, finally understanding what the Third Young Lady was planning. It became clear that all this indifference was merely waiting for an opportunity to strike a heavy blow to the Eldest Madam.
Yueyao did not pretend in front of Nanny Hao and directly asked, “Tell me, what did Grandmother entrust to you before her passing?” Yueyao was certain that the Old Madam must have left some instructions with Nanny Hao, and these instructions were no doubt meant as precautions against her.

Nanny Hao said in a heavy tone, “Miss, the Old Madam really loved you, truly and deeply.”
Laughing softly, Yueyao’s smile was tinged with bitterness as she said, “I know Grandmother truly loved me, but I am also clear that between the Lian family and me, Grandmother would definitely choose the Lian family.” It was cruel, but that was the reality.
Looking at Yueyao in shock, Nanny Hao finally said, “Miss, I don’t understand what dream the Second Madam gave you that changed your disposition overnight.” It wasn’t just the Old Madam who was perplexed; she was too.
A faint smile with a hint of desolation crossed Yueyao’s face, “Do you want to know?” She had expected Nanny Hao to ask this question, but she wasn’t going to tell.
Nanny Hao looked at Yueyao’s expression and shook her head, “If you didn’t tell the Old Madam at the time, I don’t think you’ll tell me either.” She knew her place and, judging by Yueyao’s expression, could guess it was a very unfavorable revelation.
Yueyao’s smile was filled with a bitter sweetness. She was indeed clever, far more so than Nanny Deng, no wonder Grandmother kept her close. But why did she pass away so quietly in the previous life? Of course, it must be because she saw that she was beyond help and decided to let go. So, it seems, so-called loyalty does have its limits; once crossed, any benevolence or affection can be discarded.
Realizing this, Yueyao understood that she could also win over Nanny Hao if she played her cards right.
Nanny Hao, glimpsing a trace of pity in Yueyao’s expression, ultimately asked, “Miss, I want to know, what exactly do you intend to do?” The Old Madam’s bottom line was that Yueyao should not harm the Lian family, anything else was acceptable as long as that line was not crossed.
Yueyao spoke indifferently, “I don’t want to do anything. I just want to live, to live well with Tingzheng. But if someone doesn’t want me to live well, I won’t let her have it easy either.” There was no anger in Yueyao’s words, as if she was merely commenting on the pleasant weather. Yet, it was this very attitude that sent a chill through Nanny Hao’s heart.
Not knowing what to say, Nanny Hao simply murmured, “Miss…” The Third Young Lady really wasn’t bad, but she too had her helplessness.
