Chapter 83: Separation

Hua Lei returned to Lanxi Courtyard and finally took a deep breath. She hadn't expected this matter to pass so easily; she thought at least she would be punished with a beating.

Yueyao, however, was not smiling. "Hua Lei, it's too early to be happy. You just got the money two days ago, and the Lady family already picked up on it today. That was quick!"

Hua Lei shivered, realizing that even if others plotted deliberately, the fault lay in her aunt and uncle failing to carry out their task properly. "It's all because of my aunt. With money in hand, she either buys clothes or jewelry, and that's what caught the Eldest Madam's eye."

Yueyao looked deeply at Hua Lei. "After a few drinks, your aunt spills everything. Do you think she's still reliable?"

Hua Lei immediately knelt down. "It's all my fault."

Yueyao did not allow Hua Lei to get up. This time, her goal was not only to let her grandmother know about the scheming heart of the Lady family but also to test Liu Er's reliability.
