If you want to live well, then do your best

By this time, Mo Li had already realized what was going on. With such a thin coat, it was impossible for her to protect herself from the cold and wind. Of course, she couldn't just wear it to the feast.

"Fit the jackets together, don't you have two new jackets? Combine the cotton inside them and they'll be thicker, no matter what, they'll be able to protect you from the cold."

"Mothers, what's the rush? It's better to wear a coat than not, the new one is prettier than the old one." Zheng Qingluo was able to see it clearly.

Mothers's eyes reddened again. Zheng Qingluo was really helpless, she knew Mothers cared for her dearly, but today the three of them were the ones crying, no matter how patient they were.

What kind of maidservants would dare to cry and laugh in front of her own face? If it wasn't for the fact that Zheng Qingluo had stayed in the main hall for more than a year and had watched many poor families' happy, angry, and sad lives, she definitely wouldn't have been able to endure the treatment and humiliation of her master, even if it was for her own good.

"Mom, you're an old man who's staying by my side. I know you're worried about my situation, but you have to set an example for me and my mother. You can't shed tears at any time.

"Other than making us sad, there's no other use for tears. They can't let us eat our fill, nor can they let us wear their clothes. Since they can't solve our problems, who can we cry for?"

"In an environment like ours, crying can only make people think that we're weak and can be bullied, which makes them even happier. So, Mom, what we should do now is to think of a way to make ourselves stronger and not be bullied anymore. We don't have the time to wipe away our tears, do you think?"

Mothers was shocked by Zheng Qingluo's words, but Zheng Qingluo was not anxious. She patiently waited for her to understand, Zheng Qingluo wanted to use this time's patience to change their way of thinking, so that they would no longer feel weak. She wanted them to understand that tears were the expression of the weak, laughter was the power of the strong.

"Third Miss, I understand. We have to smile and face what happened to us. If our mental states change, then our vision will change." Mo Li was the first to figure it out. If crying wasn't a problem, then why should he keep it.

"I know. Third Miss, if you want to live well, then you have to work hard. There won't be any results from waiting." The second thought came to mind. Life needs one to change. No one will be responsible for your life. If you want to live well, then do your best.

"Third Miss, this old servant knows what you want to say. Thinking about the past, this old servant is truly ashamed. If this old servant was a little stronger, we wouldn't have to live like this." Mothers finally thought it through.

"This old servant always thinks that as long as we don't give them any trouble, we can continue to live peacefully. So, this old servant will lead you to hide in a place where they can't see you, so that they won't notice you."

"To tell you the truth, this old servant is even a bit happy that they confined you. He thinks that you won't be in danger if that happens, but he still hasn't escaped their provocation. They even increased their strength, and this old servant only went to fight when your life was threatened."

"Now that I think about it, I'm fighting for your life. If I could fight for your life in your normal life, then wouldn't that change your normal life as well? "Third Miss, this old servant was wrong."

"You're right, our evasion and tears, in their eyes, are just cowardice. Seeing us cry, they know how happy they are. This old servant is truly regretful that I didn't figure this out long ago."

Mothers held back her tears. She really regretted it, but this time, she did not cry.

Mommy, please don't blame yourself. I was still young, and I couldn't help you with anything, so you had to take care of everything by yourself. How could you care about that?

"Now that the three of us are grown up, we won't retreat from what we should strive for. We just have to think of a plan. We can't do something that hurts our enemies while harming ourselves."

"Under the premise that we protect ourselves well, we must obtain the best benefits. I hope that one day, I will be able to walk out of the Zheng Mansion with my head held high and my chest puffed up."

"Third Miss, I know that you've grown up and that you have an idea now. From now on, I will do whatever you say. I will not drag you down."

"I understand what you meant just now. Miss of the inner chamber, if you want to walk out of the mansion with your chest puffed up, you must have married a good family. As long as you think about marrying me well, anything you want me to do will be worth it."

"Me too."

"Me too."

Mo Li and Mo Ju also followed the words of the Mothers. The future of the Third Young Miss was also his future, and for her future, even if he did not have a future, so what?

At first, Zheng Qing Luo did not want to argue with the people in the Zheng Mansion about how long it would take. She thought that living her life in peace and tranquility was enough, but things went against her wishes, as there were people in the Palace who did not want her to live a good life.

She did not want to die in the unknown, like she did in her previous life. Even she could not understand why she did not fight for it, nor did she investigate the truth of the matter.

Her previous life's smooth sailing had blinded her. She had thought that she was safe, but she hadn't thought that she would be like a floating boat that was about to fall. Looking at Zheng Qingluo in her current life, she finally understood.

So, it was because of your weakness that you gave others an excuse to bully you. It was because of your unguarded nature that you gave others a chance to hit you.

Third Miss, the carriage is ready. Madam will invite you to the two gates to wait.

Luo Man came over and informed Zheng Qingluo. Zheng Qingluo thanked him lightly, then followed her to two gates. Mo Li and Mothers followed her, while Mo Ju stayed in the courtyard to look after the house.

"Third Miss, we're here."

When she arrived at the side of two gates, Zheng Qingluo then slightly raised her head, her face was filled with excitement and a little cowardice. With this raise of her head, she saw Eldest Miss Zheng Qingjiao and Second Miss Zheng Qingyan standing beside the carriage.

"Third sister is here, she's wearing a new set of clothes. It's really different, tsk tsk …"

Although her mouth was full of ridicule and ridicule, Second Miss Zheng Qingyan was extremely jealous of Zheng Qingluo in his heart. His clothes were obviously better than hers, why did the jacket and matching skirt look so pleasing to the eye?

The golden and silver peonies in front of her had shrunk to such a vulgar color, yet when they were worn on her body, they gave off a noble feeling. Along with her palm-sized face, it was like the moon in a flower bush, cold and elegant, and also a little aloof and distant.

If not for the submissiveness of her eyes, Zheng Qingyan would have felt that she had become a completely different person, one look at her would make others unable to look away.

Looking back at the light green eight-step dress she was wearing, it was clearly an aged dress, but someone had given her a patch of pale pink flowers and vines at the seams of each skirt. For no reason at all, they made the dress dance, as if with every step she took, the hem of the skirt would float by her side.

But when Zheng Qingyan clearly saw that dress staying modestly in place, she was not surprised at all. She clenched her teeth even tighter, Damn it, when we return from the banquet, I will definitely go to the needle room and ask who gave me the guts to embroider flowers on Zheng Qingluo's dress.

"All of you hurry up and get on the carriage, it's not appropriate to be late after all. Qingluo, you don't go to the banquet often, so when you arrive at the Shi Yan's house later on, you have to stick close to your sister and don't make any mistakes, and don't say too much."

If you go out, your every word and action will be the face of our entire Zheng Mansion. You must be careful, and not cause trouble for the clan, understand?

At this time, Madam Qiu's was also being supported out of the two gates by Luo Qian and Luo Qing. If it wasn't for the Old Master obstructing her, Qiu's really wouldn't be willing to bring Zheng Qingluo out of the door.
