Chapter 2286 - 2286: Mission 17
“But there’s no need to rush. Take your time. Her performance this time is very impressive,” Shen Chengwang continued.
Lady You, who would have been deeply touched by such words in the past, now found them insincere and even slightly irritating. Lianxue had just finished her competition, and she wanted to go to her, but here he was, discussing clan’s contest.
In the past, everything had revolved around Shen Ningyu. Why was he bothering them now?
“It’s satisfactory,” Lady You responded calmly.
Hearing her reply, Shen Chengwang became even more enthusiastic and continued, “The place you’re currently residing in seems a bit small. It’s not suitable for Lianxue’s cultivation. We should have the housekeeper select a more suitable residence for you two to move into. This way, Lianxue’s cultivation conditions will be enhanced.”
“With her cultivation, she should accompany clan’s event into the palace. When she returns, she should remember that, as our juniors, only through their growth can the Shen family ascend,” Shen Chengwang said, his words growing more numerous as he spoke.
Lady You was growing impatient.
Back then, when Shen Ningyu had strong cultivation potential, why hadn’t he arranged for her to cultivate? He had shown no inclination to include her, apart from allowing her to be bullied. Now, it was Lianxue’s turn, and she was expected to bear the responsibility.
Lady You did not offer a direct response. Instead, she simply stated, “I will go and check on Lianxue.”
Then, she left.
With Lianxue’s current level of cultivation, she no longer needed to depend on others for her survival. Given this, she had no intention of mistreating Lianxue in any way.
Whether or not Lianxue was willing to provide guidance would be entirely her own decision.
“Lianxue, are you feeling tired? Let’s return and get some rest,” Lady You inquired with genuine concern.
Lianxue wasn’t fatigued.
In truth, she wasn’t tired at all after executing just a few moves.
But Gu Chaoyan felt content that someone cared so deeply about her well-being.
“What did Father say to you just now?” Gu Chaoyan inquired.
To some extent, he was worried that Lady You might soften her stance and agree to something she didn’t want. After all, he had been too lenient in the past, and that had resulted in his suffering. Lady You had changed, but Gu Chaoyan didn’t anticipate such a swift transformation.
“He mentioned that he wanted us to find a more suitable place to live. Additionally, he expressed his desire for you to provide guidance to Ningyu and the others. While I’m fine with relocating to a different residence for increased comfort, I will not consent to guiding Ningyu. No one guided you in the past, so why should you guide them now? I neither accepted nor declined. Although it goes against my wishes, the final decision rests with you,” Lady You declared indignantly.
Gu Chaoyan couldn’t help but chuckle.
Lady You had surpassed her expectations. Not only did she defend her rights, but she also respected her choices.
It seemed that in the past, she had no one to rely on, which was why she had been mistreated. However, she wasn’t innately a pushover.
In that case, once she fulfilled her mission and departed, she could do so with peace of mind, knowing she had Lady You’s support.
“Mother, I agree with your stance. We can change our residence, but I won’t provide guidance,” Gu Chaoyan affirmed..
