Yueyao shook her head and said, “Don’t talk to me about grand principles. It’s not like we can just stretch our necks out for the Lady family to kill us just because they want Tingzheng’s and my life. Nanny Hao, I’m letting you choose for yourself. If you don’t want to, I won’t force you, and after a few days, I will free you from your indenture.” Intelligent people are indeed rare, but they must be loyal to her; those with ulterior motives, no matter how capable, cannot be employed.
Nanny Hao did not speak.
Yueyao didn’t pressure Nanny Hao for a response. Instead, she spoke as if telling a story, “I’ve heard some of the deeds of my mother. If my mother had resigned herself to her fate, I wouldn’t be standing here today, and neither would I. I have no intention of hurting anyone, but if anyone wants to make my life worse than death, I will certainly make their lives worse than death.” She believed in karma—that good begets good, and evil, evil—just that the retribution for evil might not yet have come. Since the Lady family committed so many atrocities, they would surely face their deserved karma one day. If the time came when she had the capability and the Lady family had not yet faced their requital, she would take her revenge.
Nanny Hao looked up in shock, seeing the hatred in the depths of Yueyao’s eyes, a hatred that was irreconcilable. She weakly asked, “Miss… what has happened to make you harbor such hatred?
Yueyao said nothing more, “Think about it carefully, I won’t force you.”
After finishing her statement, Yueyao entered the study to practice her calligraphy. Once done, she handed a letter she had written to Hua Lei and instructed, “Have your uncle deliver this letter.” The timing and location were set; only the human element was missing.
Hua Lei was startled, “Miss…” She thought that the miss would no longer use her uncle, but it turned out that the miss was still willing to.
Yueyao smiled and said, “Just go and send it. When the time is right, I will have your parents go to my mother’s estate.” With Liu Da’s family’s indenture in hand, she could ensure Hua Lei had no worries, and while Hua Lei had small selfish interests, it did not affect her loyalty; having personal desires was normal, as anyone would have them—it was fidelity that mattered.
Hua Lei nodded repeatedly.
The next day, Nanny Hao found out that Hua Lei sent out a letter and knew without guessing that Yueyao had sent that letter to the Ma family.
Yueyao summoned Nanny Hao, her tone somewhat colder than the previous day’s warmth, “It’s been one night; you owe me an answer.”
After thinking for one night, Nanny Hao took a deep breath and answered, “Miss, have you pondered the consequences of doing this? Once rumors spread, you will bear such a reputation for a lifetime, and the Shen family might call off the engagement because of the rumors.” Few would dare to marry a Jinx who brings doom to her parents, and it was likely that the Shen family would call off the engagement.

Yueyao scoffed, “Don’t worry, the Shen family won’t call off the engagement.” At least, they wouldn’t dare to openly do so, otherwise, Shen Qian wouldn’t be able to maintain his position in the official circles. Although Yueyao had considered calling off the engagement, she would definitely not do so at this moment; having this marriage arrangement shielded her from many troubles, and as for the future, she was determined to call it off eventually, as she would not marry into the Shen family and suffer.
Nanny Hao did not understand why Yueyao was so sure the Shen family wouldn’t call off the engagement, but she repeated one point, “Miss, this will be mutually destructive.”
Yueyao retorted coldly, “Mutual destruction is better than me suffering alone. Don’t say anymore; I don’t have so much time to spend with you. It’s up to you to stay or leave.”
Nanny Hao nodded and said, “I will stay.” Nanny Hao meant that she had decided to stay.
Yueyao’s expression remained indifferent as she said, “Nanny Hao, you must tell me what my grandmother’s final instructions to you were.” Keeping such a person close was extremely dangerous. She had barely managed to live again and did not wish to die confusedly once more.
It took a long time for Nanny Hao to say, “Miss, the Old Madam didn’t tell me anything.” The Old Madam’s instructions were something she decisively wouldn’t tell Yueyao.
Yueyao said indifferently, “Last night, I was thinking about what my grandmother would do if she were alive and saw me causing harm that implicated my uncle and cousin. She wouldn’t need to think much; compared to the future of her grandchildren, the choice between the importance of a granddaughter is easy. After all, if a granddaughter is gone, she’s gone.” It wasn’t Yueyao maliciously speculating about the Old Madam, but the Old Madam, despite knowing about the Lady family’s venomous nature, did nothing out of fear of implicating her nephews. Thinking deeply, the grandmother clearly knew of the Lady family’s character, yet in her previous life, she let the Lady family torment her. Yueyao clearly understood that in her grandmother’s eyes, her Grandsons were always the most important.
