CapĂtulo 2421: Chapter 2418: Hatred in Their Hearts
Nanny Guo watched her leave before turning back into the courtyard and entering the room. She saw Third Madam Qi sitting by the window sipping tea. Approaching her, she asked, âYoung miss, why did you seek out Madame Yue? What she said shouldnât be false. Though Miss Huo appears cold in nature, she is rather loyal and righteous. However, I have inquired that Miss Huo holds no status in the Huo family and her situation is dire. Despite her strong character, she is still a woman. It is rare for her to leave the estate, so itâs unlikely she can gather information about Jiangnan.â
âI just find her displeasing, so I said it on purpose.â Third Madam Qi responded indifferently, curling her lips disdainfully. âIâm rather curious. Someone as timid and weak as Madame Yue actually has a friend, and itâs a young girl. Could she have been showing off her daughter-in-law?â
âHowever, the choice is poor. Anyone would be better, yet she chose a daughter of a concubine in the Huo family who isnât favored. Even if she were favored, she would still be a helpless fool. I truly canât understand why sheâs worth hiding all these years!â
Nanny Guo sighed inwardly, realizing that Third Madam Qi felt resentment towards Elder Qi San. Ultimately, it was due to emotions. Unfortunately, Elder Qi San had already passed, leaving the reasons unclear. Yet she could not stand by and watch her young miss fall into danger due to emotions.
âYoung miss, have you forgotten Qi Yun? Third Master must have hidden Madame Yue because of Qi Yun. Ultimately, the Qi family schemed against you and the master. If it werenât for the masterâs foresight, not fully siding with the Qi family and becoming one of them, they would have treated you even worse. Since the Qi family acted unjustly first, thereâs no need to consider them further. You should care more for yourself.â
âWe must quickly contact the master. With the masterâs support, the Qi family wonât dare to offend you in the future, nor should you fear being bullied.â Nanny Guo felt uneasy, believing that a family capable of concealing things for over ten years couldnât possibly be benevolent.
If Minister Qiâs attitude towards the young miss were slightly worse or hypocritical, Nanny Guo would feel more at ease. But alas, Minister Qi readily agreed to grant those valuable items to the young miss, and even Lady Qi didnât make much of a fuss before accepting. This hardly matched their usual behavior.
Could it be that the Qi family genuinely doesnât want to lose the Wang family as an ally, hence their indulgence towards the young miss?
Yet⊠it feels wrong.

Third Madam Qiâs eyes flickered with hatred, her mood growing irritable.
âNanny, I leave it to you to contact Father. I want to rest now; you may leave.â
Nanny Guo sighed helplessly, knowing that her young miss was upset. Preventing her from venting this anger would only result in dissatisfaction, possibly leading to irrational actions over time. Reluctantly, she nodded in agreement, refraining from further persuasion.
Meanwhile.
Huo Ning left the Qi Residence and headed straight for the Huo family, ready to return.
She was halfway there.
Suddenly, a figure appeared beside her, grabbing her wrist and pulling her into a deserted alley.
Huo Ningâs struggle ceased as she recognized the familiar silhouette. Silently, she followed him forward.
Lu Sangqiâs grip was strong, painfully squeezing her wrist. Huo Ning merely furrowed her brow, refraining from speaking.
