Ye Caiping sat down to the side and watched the fire with her.

Seeing that she looked depressed, Xiao Yan asked, "Is something bothering you, Auntie?"

Ye Caiping said, "It's nothing serious. It's just... those two guests in the east wing, be careful in the future, don't be too casual, be respectful."

Xiao Yan was slightly taken aback. Her aunt had said earlier that she should just do what she was supposed to do, and that Granny Yu seemed quite easy to get along with.

Is it because that lady is difficult to get along with?

"I understand," Xiao Yan nodded.

Fifteen minutes later, the medicine was finally ready. Ye Caiping poured out the medicine and personally carried it over.

As I approached the door and was about to knock, I heard soft conversations coming from inside.

"Madam, that Lady Ye is a good person; she even saved our lives. Why are you treating her so coldly?"

"Ah... well, I always felt she wasn't a good person."

"But she saved us."

"It must be because I was dressed so richly that she guessed I must be rich and noble, which is why she was willing to save us, hoping to get involved with me or ask for a reward."

Ye Caiping, standing outside the door, felt a chill run through her heart.

In her previous life, Li Jiaojiao saved the Duchess of the State. The Duchess said, "Knowing that I was being chased by thieves, she was still willing to save me. She is a good girl who is brave and righteous."

When it came to her, she said, "They must have seen that I come from a wealthy family, so they brought me back to curry favor and ask for rewards!"

hehe!

In fact, Li Jiaojiao saved the Duchess of the State only to climb the social ladder.

The book clearly states: Li Jiaojiao saw that the carriage was magnificent, and the people inside must be rich and noble. So she stopped the horse, and when she helped the Duchess out, she saw her clothes and knew that she had made the right bet.

The reason the book is written this way is certainly not to smear Li Jiaojiao; on the contrary, it is to garner her favor.

She's not a saint; she's just playing the role of a ruthless, scheming woman, and her main appeal is being exhilarating and exciting.

Although Ye Caiping saved the Duchess of the State for her own sake, she not only wanted to block Li Jiaojiao's opportunity, but also wanted to curry favor with her.

They both want to curry favor with powerful figures, so why is there such a big difference in their treatment?

She finally understood; this must be the legendary female protagonist's halo!

Because the entire world revolves around Li Jiaojiao, and each major character has a pre-planned route.

Once the character deviates from the intended path, the character will appear out of place.
