Liang Zhou continued to say, “The Old Madam dotes on the Young Madam a lot. Even when the Young Madam decided to quit practicing medicine and wanted to manage Zhuang Ji, not only did the Old Madam didn’t object, but the Old Madam personally taught her as well.”

Then, Liang Zhou lowered her voice and said conspiratorially, “However, there was this one when I just came out of the room after looking at the baby, I heard the Old Madam sighing and telling Sister Yu, ‘ No matter how I taught her, it’s useless. I don’t understand why she’s having such a hard time learning.’. I don’t know if she’s really talking about the Young Madam since she only used the word ‘she’. Moreover, I didn’t dare to eavesdrop for too long so I quickly left. Mu Qing, I’m only telling you this because we’re family. Don’t think too much about it. I don’t want to gossip. It’s taboo for Buddhists to speak without thinking.”

Liang Zhou’s expression was really serious nearing the end of words so Mu Qing had no choice but to nod in agreement.

“Oh, right! What did you say earlier? Did you ask if Madam Ye asked me to steal something from Song Ning? Heavens! How did you come up with such a ridiculous question?” Liang Zhou said as she laughed. Then, she said, “Let me tell you something. If you didn’t say this, I wouldn’t have thought about it. Once the weather was bad so we couldn’t leave the house for a walk. The baby was a little restless so Sister Yu and I brought the baby around the house, showing him the rooms to distract him. When she found us in her room, she threw a tantrum and even scared the baby to tears. Steal from her? How’s that possible? She has such a bad temper that no one dares to do such a thing. According to Sister Yu, the helpers even have to obtain permission from the Young Madam before cleaning her room.”

“To tell you the truth, Mu Qing, I was quite unhappy when the Young Madam seemed to dislike me in the past. However, now, I don’t like her either so we’re even. Don’t tell me to accompany her anymore. Why don’t I focus more on getting along with the Old Madam? I really don’t like the Young Madam.”

Mu Qing was very familiar with Liang Zhou’s personality. Despite her claims of being a devout Buddhist, some things were etched so deeply in her bones that she could not change them. After a moment, he asked with a smile, “Liang Zhou, I feel you’ve changed recently. You’ve stopped asking about my whereabouts and stopped checking on me. Why? Do you finally trust me?”

Liang Zhou’s heart felt as though it had been stabbed by a sharp knife when she heard these words. The pain was unbearable. ‘Trust? No, I’ve given up on you.’

Nevertheless, a gentle and shy smile could be seen on her face as she asked, “Mu Qing, I must be really annoying in the past, right?”

Mu Qing did not understand what she was getting at. “Why?”

“I love you so much that I’ve always kept a close watch on you. I was afraid other women would seduce you and that you’d leave me. However, after I spoke to the master about this, I was enlightened. Master said that the fate between two people is predetermined. If it’s yours, it’ll be yours. If it’s not yours, no matter how hard you try, it still won’t be yours,” Liang Zhou said, “When I asked Master to have a look at our fate, she said these things can’t be seen. She only said to be sincere in all things, and things will naturally work out. After listening to her, I put myself in your shoes and considered many things. In the end, I realized I shouldn’t be too obsessed; what will be, will be. With that, I feel much more at ease. Look, I’ve stopped pestering you, but you still came home to see me. Moreover, because I stopped pestering you, you’re no longer as annoyed as before. How good is it?”

Liang Zhou smiled widely as she added, “Master really didn’t lie to me. I just have to sincerely devote myself to Buddha.”

Mu Qing did not know how to react.. He did not know how to describe the feelings in his heart now when he looked at Liang Zhou.
