The Rumor of Hua Family

The attendant nodded. "You are right, Lady. If only madam could see you like this now, I am sure she would be proud of your plan." 

The attendant had followed CuiYing's mother and helped take care of CuiYing since she was a child, so CuiYing didn't feel worried about sharing all this information with her.

But the mention of her mother made her heart throb with pain. Her eyes glistened for a moment before she said, "I told you don't mention her again, that irresponsible woman."

"But Lady, Madam is..." The attendant words cut short, feeling the glare from Cui Ying's eyes. 

Cui Ying's mother died a few years after having her due to complications. 

This made Cui Ying have complex feelings towards her mother; she resented being born into the Situ Clan. 

If she could choose, she would prefer to become a commoner, free from all the politics within the clan.
