Chapter 281: Chapter 289: Wanting to Play a Little Dirty

“Are you suggesting that they may have good fortune in the future?” The An Family woman was not foolish and instantly understood her daughter’s meaning.

“Fortune is hard to predict, but I think that Eldest Aunt has raised both cousins quite well. Both cousins possess gentle dispositions and compassionate hearts, and crucially, they have the decisiveness and responsibility when needed. Such people, as long as they have some luck, could soar to unbelievable heights and reach positions beyond others’ imaginations,” Su Wenyue said, her mind inadvertently drifting back to her previous life when she was not yet dead; Lan Xin had already securely taken her place as a Marquess, while Lan Fang’s son had grown up to be a wise and restrained prince. Concubine Lan was an unassuming yet undeniable presence in the palace. She didn’t know what happened afterward or who eventually took that position. According to Sikong Ling, Lan Fang’s son also had the potential to compete.

As Su Wenyue spoke, she noticed her mother reflecting thoughtfully. Setting aside events from her previous life, she genuinely felt Lan Xin and Lan Fang were commendable, so to the An Family matriarch, she added, “To take a step back, after spending some time with both cousins, I truly find them to be amiable and grateful. As long as kindness is sincerely offered, they will remember it.”

Having retraced her past life’s circumstances, Su Wenyue did not know if they had changed in this life because of her rebirth. She did not state her thoughts too clearly. The cleverer the person, the more intricate their thoughts and they tended to imply rather than elaborate, which was sufficient for the An Family matriarch to understand.

“Since Lan Xin and Lan Fang are both commendable, it’s only right for me, as their aunt, to provide more support. Don’t worry, since you consider them sisters, they are my daughters as well. At the very least, they won’t be wronged in our Second House.”

“I know my mother is the best,” Su Wenyue knew that since her mother had said as much, she would keep her word. If Lan Xin and Lan Fang continued on the same trajectory as in her previous life, at the very least, they wouldn’t be mistreated, even if they weren’t given special care by the Second House, and that was sufficient.

“By the way, mother, keep an eye on that Miss Cousin from the Pei family. I believe she is a troublemaker. Keep a closer watch to prevent her from causing any mess while staying in our Second House, lest she tarnishes our family’s reputation,” Su Wenyue added, though not truly concerned about the An Family matriarch being taken advantage of by Pei Yuhan, for in her mother’s presence, Pei Yuhan’s tricks were nothing more than a light appetizer. It was just a bit of mischievous intent surfacing, wanting to stir trouble, as her mother always doted on her the most. Knowing that Pei Yuhan had framed and slandered her, the girl’s days were bound to be difficult.

As expected, the An Family matriarch frowned upon hearing Su Wenyue’s words, “What happened? Is there something wrong with this Miss Pei? What did she do to you?”

When the An Family matriarch inquired, Su Wenyue recounted what had happened earlier at Mrs. Pei’s place and shared some of Pei Yuhan’s past misdeeds learned from the Lan sisters. With her own mother, there was no need for reservations; she spilled everything.

The An Family matriarch had a less-than-favorable impression of Pei Yuhan already, and now she had even less regard for her. How dare she, while staying at the Su family, set traps for her daughter!

“Although she is the niece of your Eldest Aunt from her mother’s family and the legitimate daughter of the governor of Jiangzhou, she was raised by a stepmother, and it shows in her deficient character, hence these indecent acts,” the An Family matriarch, as a person of refinement, did not ordinarily speak ill of others, so these words were serious indeed. Character was paramount, and a flawed character was utterly disqualifying.
