Yueying returned to the Upper Chamber, and although it did not show on her face, one could sense her depressed mood. No one dared to bring up the matter, as it concerned her reputation.
The Old Madam, being human, had feelings for Yueying who had taken great care of her for so long, even though she did not love her as much as Yueyao. Seeing Yueying so unhappy, she decided after some thought to discuss the matter with her, to let Yueying know of the malicious nature of people.
The Old Madam said affectionately, "Silly girl, the incompatibility of birth signs is just an excuse. The child from the Chen family was inappropriate, which is why I rejected this marriage proposal."
Yueying was stunned, "Inappropriate? What do you mean inappropriate?" She had truly believed it was a matter of conflicting birth signs, never expecting there to be an issue.
