Chapter 100: Promises that Can't be Given_2

After a while, only Yueying was left in the courtyard.

The Old Madam gazed at Yueyao as she walked in. Yueyao was very calm, incredibly calm, as if she hadn't taken the recent events to heart. Finally, unable to contain herself, the Old Madam asked, "Yueyao, are you blaming your grandmother for the unfair division of the inheritance?" She had known since Yueyao was little that she was intelligent, because her son often boasted about having such a daughter, though she felt it was inappropriate. It is not good for a girl to be too clever; as the Buddhist saying goes, 'Too much wisdom can lead to heartache.' She couldn't bear to look at the child when she'd just returned, but over time Yueyao seemed to improve, yet this improvement made the Old Madam worry. Yueyao used to display her intelligence openly, but now she had become inscrutable, concealing her own depth.
