Ulterior Motives

"Shut up! Who asked you to be so nosy?"

When the housekeeper had answered Yun Xi, Liang Xiuqin's face immediately became ugly.

She had no money or rights in the Yun family now, and even the housekeeper dared to go against her. With the addition of the shady and sinister Chen Lixue to the household, how could she not jump up in anger? 

Yun Xi didn't want to argue with her mother about this so she brought Chen Lixue into the joke.

"Since Mom and Aunt aren't quarreling today, it seems as if you have decided to get along in harmony, am I right?"

Yun Xi glanced back and forth at them. Their facial expressions weren't very pleasant.

Liang Xiuqin's eyes were full of an unwillingness to compromise, and Chen Lixue's eyes were full of anger about being exploited.

It was impossible to live in harmony without conditions. Yun Xi knew exactly what the conditions were, so she had to rub salt on Liang Xiuqin's wounds.
