Even Yueting was surprised that Lin Mengya managed to convince her mother.

Although she was successful not because she used reasoning, rather, it was more like threatening.

However, her mother yielding did not equate to them being victorious.

She was afraid that her mother might be brewing some new moves.

Lin Mengya, who could read Yueting's mind, patted her hand and said,

"Rest assured, I'll be here for you."

Yueting nodded and her eyes welled up in tears when she looked up at Lin Mengya again.

She was ready to suffer any difficulties in her home. As long as she could be with Big Brother Nansheng, she would be contented.

She was thankful that Lin Mengya was also rooting for them. She was no longer alone in this.

"Uncle Yue, I'm afraid Aunt Yue would not let this go so easily. We may need Uncle Yue to help us as a mediation."

Every household had its own problems. There was Shangguan Qin in her own family while the Yues had Mrs. Yue.

It seemed that their lives would no longer be a peaceful one from now on.

She was sure she had utterly offended Mrs. Yue today, which surely affected the relationship between the two families.

"Rest assured, Princess. Now I am aware of the pros and cons of our decision and naturally, I won't let my wife do as she wishes."

Lin Mengya nodded. Yue Shilin's words had given confidence and assurance.

Nevertheless, to Lin Mengya, Elder Sister Yueting would be likened to a time bomb as long as she remained in her house.

It appeared that she needed to quickly think of a solution for her to marry into the Lin family as soon as possible.

Dear brother, did you even know that your little sister had been working so hard for a blissful marriage for you every day?

Yue Shilin spoke with her a little longer before he finally left with his followers.

Lin Mengya sat down with Yueting and Yueqi in her little courtyard to have a chat. Apart from their personal maids, the others were sent away.

"Sigh, I'm still worried that Mother won't give up so easily. Will we be able to succeed, Ya'er?"

Sitting on the chair, Yueting said as she frowned deeply while she looked in Lin Mengya's direction

"I'm here for you, so there shouldn't be any problem. Yes, Elder Sister Yueting, do you have any news from my brother recently?"

She thought of all possible scenarios but decided that the only right thing was to let Elder Sister Yueting marry into the family as soon as possible.

Moreover, Baizhi had told her that her brother would be returning to the capital city to take up his office soon. By then, she would not have to worry anymore.

"Elder Brother Nansheng said that he would be returning to the capital city half a month from now."

At the mention of Lin Nansheng's name, Yueting started blushing.

Fortunately, she had always hidden her letters to him in Yue Shilin's letters to Lin Muzhi.

In this light, their correspondences had always consisted of a simple narrative on how they were getting on. Neither of them had the audacity to say anything inappropriate.

"Oh, I see. That puts my heart at ease. Then, I will trouble Uncle Yue to ask my father to let you two get married as soon as possible."

At Lin Mengya's words, Yueting lowered her head in embarrassment. Her coyness was more alluring than peony in the garden.

It would be a beautiful thing if Elder Brother could marry the virtuous daughter of a reputable family.

Lin Mengya continued reassuring Yueting with some comforting words before she finally left Yue's Mansion with her servants.

"Miss, what's Mrs. Yue's background by the way? Why was she so overbearing?"

Riding in the horse carriage, Baiji asked the question with a frown on her face. This was what the other four maidservants had so desperately wanted to find out too.

"Mrs. Yue came from a reputable family as well. They had married out of love. However, she was a playmate with the Queen since they were young. One takes on the color of one's company. What do you think she's like under the influence of the Queen?"

Lin Mengya's words seemed to have awakened the four maidservants from their stupor.

Baisu, their latest addition, likewise, nodded her head. She seemed as surprised to learn what kind of a person Mrs. Yue was.

"You may think Mr. Yue appeared rather cowardly, in fact, his compromise had stemmed from his respect and love for his wife. Unfortunately, Mrs. Yue had pushed her limits further and further and gone overboard with her willfulness. She was gradually depleting Mr. Yue's loyalty. I even heard that three years ago, Mr. Yue had taken a concubine. It seemed that crack had appeared in their relationship."

A woman can take advantage of how a man loves her to act willfully, she can
