The Valued Lady is Truly Dominant

Chapter 1148: Threat

After offering incense in the main hall, a monk led Song Zhiqing and his group to the Zen Temple for rest."Madam, should we go and add some oil, and then light a longevity lamp for the Young Master and Miss?" Mama Quan reminded.

Bai Shuilian looked at Song Zhiqing, who replied, "Let’s go together."

The group turned to the place for lamp lighting and divination. Even Mama Quan personally sought a divination stick and received a sign with a grave expression.

Bai Shuilian glanced sideways and then lowered her eyelids.

After lighting the lamp, the group turned back to the Zen Temple to rest, but on the way, Song Zhiqing encountered someone accompanying the madam for incense, and inevitably had to exchange a few polite words.

Bai Shuilian did not have the status to converse with such madams, being merely of concubine origin, and the others didn’t even deign to look directly at her, considering it enough to glance with a haughty demeanor.

Feeling unimportant, Bai Shuilian didn’t dare to impose herself and only stiffly said she would go to the Zen Temple first for some vegetarian tea.

Song Zhiqing left with the superiors, while the madam leaned on the hand of her servant woman, heading back to the Zen Temple. Conversation drifted with the wind.

"Madam, Song seems confused, how can he accompany the concubine for incense, isn’t he honoring her too much?"

"Who says not? Certainly, ten fingers vary in length, and dragons spawn nine sons, each differing."

Bai Shuilian’s face flushed with indignation.

Mama Quan supported her back to the Zen Temple, personally poured tea, and handed it over.

Bai Shuilian dismissed the servants, stared and questioned her, "Mama, it was all arranged by you to come to the temple, what exactly is your plan? You always have me act on instructions, but I’m entirely unaware of your arrangements. You must give me some clarity, what is the master’s intention? Has he arrived? I want to see the master."

Her expression was somewhat agitated, uncertain if for injustice or for that master.

"Why are you so anxious?"

"Mama wouldn’t want to cut ties after crossing the river, would you? If so, I’ll have to find a scapegoat." Bai Shuilian snorted coldly.

Mama Quan’s gaze turned cold, saying, "You’ve overthought, considering you are Miss Wan’s mother, why would I disregard you?"

Bai Shuilian felt relieved, "Then?"

Mama Quan took out the divination sign from her sleeve, "At the last moment of noon, the master will appear in the East Guest Wing. If you wish to meet him, you can find the opportunity."

"Really?"

Mama Quan nodded, saying, "With one condition. The master may not take you away, but let you remain at the Song Family, would you still go?"

Bai Shuilian was stunned, "At this point, what can be done staying at the Song Family?"

Mama Quan lowered her eyes, "Who knows, the master’s mind has always been unpredictable."

Bai Shuilian pursed her lips, staring at her, "You aren’t lying to me?"

"Believe or don’t believe, it’s your choice. As servants together, if you wish to fly high and far, I can help you now, but from then on, you must forget who you are, and all you’ve ever done, living hidden for life."

Bai Shuilian’s pupils contracted, realizing that this signifies all her prior endeavors might be reduced to dust.

Mama Quan saw her silence and handed over the tea again, "Aren’t you drinking, Madam?"

Bai Shuilian shuddered, eyed the tea warily and shook her head, "I’m not thirsty."

Mama Quan watched her reaction, with a seemingly sneering smile as if deliberately opposing her, directly taking and drinking the tea.

Bai Shuilian: "..."

Feeling disrespected.
