"What did you say?"
On the day Zhong Xiuxiu returned home, Nanny Wang received the news and quietly informed her, "How did Third Sister offend Lord Lin and get sent away to the manor?"
"My young mistress, it wasn't Third Miss who offended Lord Lin; this was Third Miss seeking what she deemed virtuous."
"How so?"
Nanny Wang then explained how Zhong Xiuyao had used medication to ruin her own face.
"Third Sister, this is..."
A very clever scheme indeed.
"Lord Lin said to let her stay at the manor for a while and sent her and her son there together. It was a new manor set up by Lord Lin's trusted aide, so Third Miss can enjoy some quiet days in the short term."
"Alas..."
Zhong Xiuxiu felt very troubled.
It's truly difficult for a woman to stand in this world.
Especially someone like Third Sister, who was quite talented and outstanding in appearance, but ended up being schemed against by opportunists.
Her father just handed her over for the family's benefit.
