Chapter 85: Satin

Lady Mo, heeding the instructions from Old Madam, swiftly prepared a residence for Tingzheng. The courtyard was satisfactory, but Yueyao's countenance fell when she heard that Tingzheng's residence was to be adjacent to Tingchao's.

Without further ado, Yueyao went directly to Lady Mo. The Old Madam's health was increasingly failing; she no longer involved herself in the affairs of the mansion. Yueyao did not wish to trouble the Old Madam with these matters anymore.

Lady Mo had anticipated Yueyao's dissatisfaction, initially thinking that Yueyao would go and lodge a complaint with the Old Madam, but instead, Yueyao had come directly to her. Yueyao, with a darkened expression, declared, "Auntie, even if the residence were a bit more remote, it would be preferable. I do not wish for Tingzheng to live alongside the Third Young Master." Although there were only two days in a month, just the thought of Tingchao's behavior made her feel utterly uncomfortable.
