"You little hoof, who gave you the guts to say something like that to the Third Miss? She's the daughter of the master's direct kin, and seeing that she's being bullied, you won't give her face. What use do you have? You don't have the slightest bit of greed for her."

That being said, she didn't seem to be unhappy in the least.

"Yes, Madam. From what I see, the Third Miss has a soft temper, but she is also aware of what's good for her." Yes, Madam, from what I see, the Third Miss has a soft temper, but she is also aware of what's good for her.

This silly girl actually couldn't tell that the third lady was coaxing her. She thought that she had become more shrewd after seeing her previous performance. It turned out that she was just a fool in front of an outsider.

"Third Miss, you said that you want these clothes, but they can't be made into clothes. What's the use of them? It's a pity to leave them here like this. Ah, the lady is the same, why do you only dislike our Third Miss?"

"If she didn't keep a close eye on us, we would have made a small coat the color of a lotus flower for our young miss. It would certainly look good against the expression of our third young miss."

After hearing what Mo Li had said, she knew that the Third Miss was playing with her. She then fondled the new material longingly, with a look of regret on her face.

"I'm just making a wager."

"Huh?"

Hearing Third Miss' answer, Mo Ju thought she misheard. She could not help but exclaim in confusion.

"I said make a purse."

Zheng Qingluo answered affirmatively. Moyu felt that she didn't understand what she meant, so she turned her head to look at him.

"Third Miss said to make a purse, did you get hit in the head by a door? Don't you understand what she's saying?"

"You do understand, but you don't understand the meaning behind his words. He used so many pieces of cloth to make a wager?"

Zheng Qingluo and Mo Li looked at each other and smiled, then nodded their heads together. Mo Ju felt like she was about to faint.

Seeing that Zheng Qingluo, Mo Li and Mothers had really started to make the winnings, Mo Ju finally realized that he had missed something.

Third Miss, do you have any plans that you didn't tell me about?

Although Mo Ju had already started doing it, he was still unwilling. Why did he have to hide it from me? After all, he was still a member of this courtyard.

"No one wants to hide it from you. Today, during our discussion, you went to deliver the dishes, and if you want to discuss it with you later, something else will have to come to an end."

"Anyway, it wasn't anything impressive, so I didn't have the chance to tell you about it. It was a good thing I didn't tell you, otherwise, the show today wouldn't have been played out so brilliantly."

As he cut the fabric, he teased her for fear that she might act too straightforwardly. No matter how bad her temper was, she was still a young lady of the house. Although the Third Miss was a kind and generous young lady, she had no choice but to act subserviently.

"You're really afraid that I would cause trouble. I'm not a child, so I can tell what's important. I'm just bickering with you to make you happy."

Zheng Qingluo only smiled as she listened, and did not participate in their banter. They came and went, Mothers could not help but smile as she watched these two little girls argue.

The atmosphere in the manor was always depressed. It was rare to find someone who could be so relaxed in the courtyard of the third young miss. When she thought of this, she glanced at the third young miss, but when she looked over, she made a soft noise of surprise.

"Third Miss, you drew really well. It looked like it was real. I didn't even see you practice drawing. How come you drew so well?"

"What is there to do? It's just randomly drawing a few lines. Moreover, using carbon bars to draw flowers is different from using brushes and paints. If I were to use those brushes, I wouldn't be able to do anything about it."

As he approached, he saw that Zheng Qingluo had made a sharp point out of a charred branch, wrapped the end of a carbon strip in a cloth, and held it in his hand. He drew patterns on the paper, and the black lines were even more three-dimensional than the brush.

"Miss, your drawing is really beautiful." Mo Li didn't even look around enough, but Mo Ju quickly grabbed it and ran to the side to look for herself.

Yes, yes, I really haven't seen anyone who could draw such a beautiful flower with just burning matches. Third Miss, it's a good thing that Mothers and I secretly left some papers behind when Madam chased away the gentleman that was invited by you. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to see such a beautiful flower today.

Mo Li quietly stood up, walked over to Mo Ju, and prodded her waist. Mo Ju did not react, and mumbled while avoiding Mo Ju, "Why are you poking me, is what I said true, Mothers?"

Seeing that Mo Li and Mothers were nervous, Zheng Qingluo casually waved her hands.

"It's all in the past, so there's nothing to be sad about it. She doesn't want anyone to teach me, so we'll learn by ourselves. After we sell our wallets and get some money, we'll buy a few books. The two of you will study with me."

They recognize me, so I won't recognize them. Forget it, since Third Miss can read, I will just serve Third Miss well, wash up, and sew things up for me. I'll leave the elegance to Young Miss herself.

As if Zheng Qingluo was trying to force her to read, Mo Ju took a few steps back.

"You're not ambitious. There will always be a time when you need it. Don't let them sign a indenture contract for you to sign. If you press your fingerprint, you won't even know that you sold yourself out."

Zheng Qingluo pointed her finger in the direction of Inky.

"Yes, I don't know what words are, but, Third Miss, it's so hard to read. When you were learning to read, you taught me to write my own name, and even if I was to learn from the left, I still wouldn't be able to learn from the right. I don't know if I can learn it now."

When it came to reading, she was very depressed. She felt that it was much easier to work than to write.

"As long as you want to learn, you must be able to. When the time comes, I will teach you and guarantee that you will be able to learn it."

"Really? I can also learn to write. " Mo Ju's face was filled with disbelief.

"Of course, you're not stupid. How can you not know how to write?"

"Lime always said I was a fool."

Hearing Inky's words, everyone in the room started laughing. It was that simple to relax, leaving the heavy weight behind. Unknowingly, they let Lu Li fill up the space.

He picked up the embroidery thread, which was separated into two parts. Mothers took out a needle and started to embroider some patterns, after a short while, a bright and beautiful peony appeared in front of everyone.

"Mothers's hands are so clever, look at this peony embroidery, it looks like it's real." As she gently caressed it, the petals began to fall.

"The two of you should also learn. If you're pointing at me to embroider, then we don't need to save money." The Mothers said half truths and half truths, but in his heart, he pitied the two children.

If they were in another yard, they would have learned how to make needles and needles red long ago, but unfortunately, they could not even touch the needle and thread of the third miss' yard.

Honestly speaking, it was too late to start studying at such an age. It would be difficult to even marry a girl who could not be a beauty. Mothers looked at Zheng Qingluo, a sour feeling in her heart. What a good child.

He couldn't help but sigh. If there was a stepmother, there would be a stepfather. It had been six years since he last saw the Third Miss, and there was no difference between having such a father and not having a stepfather.

Seeing the needle in Mothers's hand pause for a moment, then turn slightly red in the eyes, Zheng Qingluo put down the stick in her hand and said, "It's okay, Mothers, learn slowly. We have time."

"So many years have passed, there's no rush at this moment. When are we going to be able to take out the embroidery and sell it again? In any case, we won't starve without money." After she had guessed what the Mothers was thinking, Zheng Qingluo said in consolation.

"Third Miss …" Mothers's heart was clogged up, he could not continue calling the Third Miss.

Thinking back to when he married from the Jiang Mansion with the Miss, it was originally a match made in a house. Who knew that the Great Master would have a bridal chamber first?

As soon as the young miss had married over, the concubine had taken over and was born with an elder daughter before the young miss. This was completely illogical.
