…

Daohua left the pavilion and walked with Guo Xueming to a distant osmanthus tree. “Miss Guo, what do you want to discuss? Just speak here.” Since they could see the pavilion from there, Madam Li and the others wouldn’t have to worry.

Guo Xueming gestured with her hand for the maid to step back and then looked at Daohua again.

Daohua raised an eyebrow and also had Wang Manman and Bi Shi step back some. “Can we speak now?”

Guo Xueming furrowed her brow and gazed at Daohua. “Miss Yan, I know Brother Yeyang likes you, but you shouldn’t take advantage of his position to cause him troubles everywhere!”

Caught off guard by Guo Xueming’s reprimand, Daohua was stunned for a few seconds and then laughed incredulously. “Miss Guo, do you have a fever?”

Guo Xueming’s frown deepened. “Miss Yan, I’m not joking with you.”

Daohua’s smile disappeared, and she spoke coldly. “Nor am I joking with you. If you don’t have a fever, how could you say what you just said? What right do you have to say such things to me?”

Guo Xueming choked, avoiding the question, she continued to accuse. “Miss Yan, the reason you dared to confront the two Jiang Family madams today was merely because Brother Yeyang likes you, wasn’t it? Do you realize the trouble this could cause him?”

As she spoke, she looked dismissively at Daohua.

“You come from a modest background with limited knowledge, so you might not understand that to continue the Prince Residence title, Brother Yeyang needs to engage in negotiations with many parties. Even if he doesn’t associate with the Jiang Family, he cannot afford to offend them.”

“What you said at the banquet today was too excessive. With the Jiang Family’s way of behaving, they will surely trouble you later, and then, Brother Yeyang will have to clean up your mess.”

“By doing this, you are pushing Brother Yeyang toward opposition against the Jiang Family. If Brother Yeyang offends the Jiang Family and they choose to support Xiao Yechen to inherit the title of the Prince Residence, you will have ruined Brother Yeyang’s prospects.”

“I really don’t know if you truly like Brother Yeyang, or else how could you harm him without even realizing it?”

Daohua scoffed, irritated, “Miss Guo, one should be self-aware; don’t you think you’re overstepping your bounds? Xiao Yeyang’s affairs are not your concern.”

“Moreover, even if I come from a humble background and lack knowledge, Xiao Yeyang likes me, and even if he has to clean up the mess for me, he is happy to do it.”

Guo Xueming hastily responded, “You… Miss Yan, you are supposedly a maiden from an official family, mentioning love so openly, it’s simply shameless!”

Daohua mocked her. “It’s you who understand rules and manners, Miss Guo, but what position do you have standing before me right now? Even your grandfather, your father, haven’t intervened much in Xiao Yeyang’s affairs, yet here you are, a mere woman, meddling excessively. Who is truly shameless here?”

Guo Xueming was furious, knowing Daohua had a sharp tongue, she didn’t want to entangle further and spoke coldly, “Miss Yan, if you truly like Brother Yeyang, you should leave him quickly. Don’t let him continue to degrade. Nothing good will come from your relationship with him.”

Hearing this, Daohua was truly angered; her gaze turned frosty as she looked at Guo Xueming. “You and your mother are indeed alike, she schemes in the hall, and here you are, shamelessly spouting nonsense. I can hardly believe you hail from the Duke Residence!”

“Whether Xiao Yeyang and I will end up together is for the emperor to decide, but one thing I can assure you, even if Xiao Yeyang doesn’t choose me, he won’t choose you either.”

“Miss Guo, you should stay grounded in reality. Given the relationship between Xiao Yeyang and the Guo Family, he has never even looked at you directly. It’s very clear that he… does… not… like… you!”

“Aren’t you a lady from a noble family who understands propriety? Why, then, are you clinging to a man who doesn’t like you? Where are your dignity, your pride, your vision?”

“Is it because the Duke Residence acts strictly towards others but leniently towards themselves? No wonder the state of the Duke Residence declines by the day. With women like you and your mother in the inner court, it’s no surprise it can’t thrive.”

Guo Xueming watched Daohua, stunned; her hands dangled at her side, tightly clenched together to the point that her arms trembled slightly from the force.
