Chapter 136: Lover’s Token (1) (1/2)

“Isn’t it so! If Third Young Madam continues her friendship with Prince Wei’s estate, it’ll be tremendously beneficial for our estate.”

Matriarch He glared at Senior Servant Liu. “You silly servant. There’s nothing that you can’t say freely in front of me.”

Senior Servant Liu paused her massage and moved over to face the matriarch. “Matriarch, this old servant wonders if you noticed Eldest Young Madam’s expression today. This old servant is afraid that Eldest Young Madam’s thoughts may be straying towards the wrong path…”
