Chapter 181: I've Eaten More Salt Than You've Eaten Rice_3
The act was like covering one's ears while stealing a bell.
"If this is indeed the case, then I truly feel a deep disappointment in us."
"We even look down on Young Master Yuchi, yet now we have to regard such small families highly!"
"One must know that in terms of family heritage, these small families can't even compare to the Wei Family."
"This is simply ridiculous, utterly ludicrous."
"The whole thing transmits to me as nothing but a bunch of disorganized rabble."
"A group of people who have no idea about the trend of things!"
As Changsun Mei continued speaking, her anguish grew more apparent, an expression of disbelief at how it had come to this.
The maid beside her truly couldn't utter a single word.
And now she didn't know what her young lady was thinking, she simply believed that what her young lady thought was right.
But exactly in what way was it right? She couldn't make a judgment immediately.
After all, at the root of it, this was still a problem.
"The Cloud Mountain Sect is so powerful, the Zhou Family is so powerful, Jiangzhou City is so powerful, then why is it that Yuchi can resolve it?"
This was a hurdle the maid couldn't wrap her head around.
So even though Changsun Mei seemed to have exhausted her efforts, she remained like Changsun Hao.
As long as they're convinced this matter won't be resolved, then Yuchi is bound to lose.
Ultimately, it will be up to the Zhangsun Family to control the overall situation.
As for if such things were indeed to happen again, then just make peace with the attackers.
After all, isn't that how business is done?
So now, within the Zhangsun Family, aside from Changsun Mei having such thoughts.
Everyone else was enveloped in a mystifying joy.
They were already eager to see Yuchi fail, then it would be them, the Zhangsun Family wielding control.
Just thinking about it brought immense satisfaction.
By then, wouldn't we be the top presence in Xufu Town?
"I've said it all for nothing... I've told you so much, it's like talking to a wall."
Changsun Mei nearly spat blood.
She had shared so much from her heart with her maid, but others only remembered this one point.
And if this one point were indeed unbreakable, then so be it.
To put it simply, you think I'm speaking lies, but aren't your thoughts based on assumptions too?
The Yuchi Third Young Master I like, why do you want to harm him?
He is clearly very good.
The maid said with a wry smile:
"Miss, I am just your maid, I'm still a child."
"How would I understand these things."
"Miss, have some snacks... or rather, candied fruit, eat more, till you're full, and then rest."
"When you wake up, it'll already be night, by then we can see how things unfold."
"After all, no matter how we speak behind the scenes, it won't change anything."
The maid wasn't hopeful to begin with; she just wanted to change the topic.
It was truly vexing.
If she spoke, it was wrong; if she didn't speak, it was also wrong. In the future, she'd just better stick to being a quiet maid.
No matter whose bed she ended up in, that would be fine.
Never again think about these things, it's a headache.
And Changsun Mei suddenly became quite calm, yes, if it's merely speaking behind the scenes, it can't change anything.
She glanced out the window.
It was the afternoon now, not long before nightfall, and Changsun Mei really wanted to meet Yuchi.
The matters of meeting were mainly threefold.
The first matter.
Very important, also urgent.
It's to ask Yuchi for his view on this matter.
To try to further understand why he had such a fearless demeanor.
The second matter.
Changsun Mei needed to express her longing for him.
One must know it's been nearly forty days since they last met, surely there was deep longing in her heart.
Secretly hiding to draw every day, this was not a long-term plan, longing is the gentlest poison.
The third matter.
It actually related to the gift she previously gave to Yuchi.
Back then, Changsun Mei bought a Jade Pendant worth a thousand taels of silver for Yuchi.
When Yuchi accepted the gift, she was very happy, thinking with the gift they could slowly move to the next stage.
Perhaps she could eventually go from Changsun Mei to becoming a "Mrs. Yuchi."
But just a month ago, suddenly Wei Yuan visited the Zhangsun Family, saying Yuchi gave her a gift too.
It was also a gift worth a thousand taels of silver.
Changsun Mei understood.
Yuchi's actions were not a matter of exchanging gifts between a man and a woman.
Rather, it was a pure settlement of accounts.
In other words, it's that I don't owe you, nor do you owe me, we are fair.
So we don't need to be troubled by such small gifts, everyone takes a step back, and we'll still meet again in the future.
So she could no longer bridge the gap between them through buying gifts.
After all, if she dared to buy, then Yuchi would definitely dare to return it.
After a long time or many instances, who knows, one day the pretense might be torn off, and he'd really not accept gifts.
So this third matter was to simply take the opportunity to invite him, have some tea, chat, and enjoy the scenery together.
"That's why I'm certain Yuchi is not the old lecher he seems on the surface."
