CHAPTER 788: CHAPTER 790, SAYING ONE THING AND MEANING ANOTHER (1 MORE)

The items were truly exquisite and ornate, each of significant value, with two among them being worth a city’s ransom.

How she wished all those were hers, instead of Yun Jinnian’s.

"Child, don’t meddle in these affairs. By the way, did you go to the Han Family today and see your elder sister?"

"I did, but elder sister seemed different!"

"Different how?" Mrs. He quickly asked.

"It’s just, it’s just..." Yun Musi began to explain but couldn’t articulate herself, turning to Yun Mulan, "You tell it!"

Yun Mulan pouted and said, "How could I explain it clearly!" She thought for a moment then added, "But elder sister seems much nicer to Yun Zuomo and the other two!"

"What did you say?" Mrs. He quickly asked.

"Yun Zuomo and the others asked elder sister if they could go to the Princess Residence together, and elder sister agreed!"

"What else?" Mrs. He asked.

Her mind was racing.

Regarding those three girls from the second mother in the family, she only cared that they were not starved or frozen, sending their monthly allowance on time. Besides, she did not bother with them.

"Xu Xinmo is still so detestable!" Yun Mulan exclaimed with resentment.

Her dislike for Xu Xinmo grew stronger by the day.

Instead of staying in the nice Xu Family, she came to the Yun Family to throw her weight around. Father really should send her back to the Xu Family.

Mrs. He sighed.

Embracing Yun Mulan, she coaxed her softly, "Just bear with it a little longer, we’ll eventually drive her out!"

She had hoodwinked the old dowager out of so many things, and those things should rightfully belong to Mu Si and Mu Lan.

It wasn’t just Yun Musi and Yun Mulan who detested Xu Xinmo, Mrs. He did too.

"Mother, when can we finally drive that woman out?" Yun Mulan whined and pursued.

Yun Musi also perked up her ears, listening intently.

"Now Jinnian and your second aunt will soon return, and once they are back, there will be no peace in this house, then you’ll see what mother can do!"

Yun Musi and Yun Mulan nodded vigorously. Mrs. He thought for a moment and then added, "When you both have the chance, visit the Cixin Academy more often to keep your grandmother company!"

"It’s useless to go there; grandmother doesn’t need our company, she has Xu Xinmo and that’s enough for her!" Yun Musi complained.

"Exactly, exactly!" Yun Mulan hastily agreed.

They were not close to the old dowager at all.

"Even if Xu Xinmo is there, if your grandmother is not close to you, you should visit her more often. Going there frequently, and causing Xu Xinmo some trouble, would be good too!" Mrs. He persuaded.

She always hoped the children would maintain a good reputation to ensure successful matchmaking in the future.

With Xu Xinmo’s behavior, not to speak ill, but she might not find a good family to marry into later on.

Just wait and see.

Xu Xinmo returned to Cixin Academy and began crying in the old dowager’s arms, "Grandmother, wuu wuu..."

"What’s the matter? Did Yun Jinnian upset you?" the old dowager asked with concern.

"No, it’s just that when I see how wealthy my cousin is and she doesn’t show filial piety to you, I feel so distressed on grandmother’s behalf!"

The old dowager felt just as upset, detesting Yun Jinnian to the core.

In other families, the younger generation would show respect to their elders with any good thing they acquired, but Yun Jinnian was the opposite, selfish and only caring for herself.

It was all Mrs. Han’s fault for not teaching her well.

But then again, the Han Family’s upbringing was no good either, so it was no surprise Mrs. Han wasn’t brought up well.

"Why mention her? Do I lack her piety? Besides, I don’t want any of her valuable treasures, lest she spreads rumors later that she gave me something precious. I have you, my dear girl, my little padded jacket, and that’s enough for me!" the old dowager said, her words not matching her true feelings as she hugged Xu Xinmo and gave her a kiss.
