Chapter 14 – Women’s College

As Ye Zhen and her maid strutted forth the silent corridors of the mansion, the laughter of the old madam suddenly rang out. Her age didn’t seem to dampen her lively mood! After series fleet of stairs, she finally arrived and the curtain quickly, “Third Miss Lu is coming, madam..”

“Third sister, how can you so casually say that when you have never been admitted in college? You can’t say that in public without making a joke out of yourself!” Fourth Miss Lu felt a bit insulted.

Ye Zhen’s face was innocent and ignorant. “I haven’t been to college
