Chapter 2421: Chapter 2418: Hatred in Their Hearts

Nanny Guo watched her leave before turning back into the courtyard and entering the room. She saw Third Madam Qi sitting by the window sipping tea. Approaching her, she asked, “Young miss, why did you seek out Madame Yue? What she said shouldn’t be false. Though Miss Huo appears cold in nature, she is rather loyal and righteous. However, I have inquired that Miss Huo holds no status in the Huo family and her situation is dire. Despite her strong character, she is still a woman. It is rare for her to leave the estate, so it’s unlikely she can gather information about Jiangnan.”

“I just find her displeasing, so I said it on purpose.” Third Madam Qi responded indifferently, curling her lips disdainfully. “I’m rather curious. Someone as timid and weak as Madame Yue actually has a friend, and it’s a young girl. Could she have been showing off her daughter-in-law?”

“However, the choice is poor. Anyone would be better, yet she chose a daughter of a concubine in the Huo family who isn’t favored. Even if she were favored, she would still be a helpless fool. I truly can’t understand why she’s worth hiding all these years!”

Nanny Guo sighed inwardly, realizing that Third Madam Qi felt resentment towards Elder Qi San. Ultimately, it was due to emotions. Unfortunately, Elder Qi San had already passed, leaving the reasons unclear. Yet she could not stand by and watch her young miss fall into danger due to emotions.

“Young miss, have you forgotten Qi Yun? Third Master must have hidden Madame Yue because of Qi Yun. Ultimately, the Qi family schemed against you and the master. If it weren’t for the master’s foresight, not fully siding with the Qi family and becoming one of them, they would have treated you even worse. Since the Qi family acted unjustly first, there’s no need to consider them further. You should care more for yourself.”

“We must quickly contact the master. With the master’s support, the Qi family won’t dare to offend you in the future, nor should you fear being bullied.” Nanny Guo felt uneasy, believing that a family capable of concealing things for over ten years couldn’t possibly be benevolent.

If Minister Qi’s attitude towards the young miss were slightly worse or hypocritical, Nanny Guo would feel more at ease. But alas, Minister Qi readily agreed to grant those valuable items to the young miss, and even Lady Qi didn’t make much of a fuss before accepting. This hardly matched their usual behavior.

Could it be that the Qi family genuinely doesn’t want to lose the Wang family as an ally, hence their indulgence towards the young miss?

Yet… it feels wrong.

Third Madam Qi’s eyes flickered with hatred, her mood growing irritable.

“Nanny, I leave it to you to contact Father. I want to rest now; you may leave.”

Nanny Guo sighed helplessly, knowing that her young miss was upset. Preventing her from venting this anger would only result in dissatisfaction, possibly leading to irrational actions over time. Reluctantly, she nodded in agreement, refraining from further persuasion.

Meanwhile.

Huo Ning left the Qi Residence and headed straight for the Huo family, ready to return.

She was halfway there.

Suddenly, a figure appeared beside her, grabbing her wrist and pulling her into a deserted alley.

Huo Ning’s struggle ceased as she recognized the familiar silhouette. Silently, she followed him forward.

Lu Sangqi’s grip was strong, painfully squeezing her wrist. Huo Ning merely furrowed her brow, refraining from speaking.
