After discussing Qin Zhenming's issues, the next thing to deal with was Qin Ye, who was currently giving Bai Yueyue the biggest headache.
"Yueyue, Qin Ye's personal attendant has already informed me of the situation," Qin Limin said to Bai Yueyue in the room where there were only three of them.
Li Jieyue sat down to the side; she didn't need to get involved in Qin Ye's affairs.
"Godfather, you're here discussing Qin Ye's matter with me. Are you going to protect him?" Bai Yueyue expressed her dissatisfaction to Qin Limin.
"Yueyue, how could you say that?" Qin Limin said, because Bai Yueyue had indeed hit the nail on the head. He had deliberately discussed the matter in a small room, hoping to downplay the issue.
"Hehe," Bai Yueyue didn't seem to care too much and continued, "Godfather, since you've already placed a personal attendant by Qin Ye's side, you should know his attitude towards me, right?"
Qin Limin's current state clearly indicates that he knows the full story. Bai Yueyue doesn't believe Qin Ye would report everything to Qin Limin verbatim, so it's obvious that someone else reported it.
"Yueyue, Qin Ye hasn't been around me since he was little, so I've been a bit lax in disciplining him." Qin Limin was also a little embarrassed. If Qin Zhenming knew what Qin Ye had done to Bai Yueyue, he would definitely not let it go easily. The fact that Bai Yueyue didn't complain to Qin Zhenming was already enough of a favor to Qin Limin.
"A little more relaxed? Godfather, how can you say such un-aristocratic things?" Bai Yueyue's anger was completely ignited by Qin Limin. "You should know how busy I am, right? You just dumped Qin Ye on me with a single sentence, telling me to teach him, but I'm clearly the same age as him! Can't you consider me? Do you know how tired I am today? I'm not good at dealing with nobles like Di Hao to begin with, and Qin Ye is just adding to my troubles. As Qin Ye's father, you should really take responsibility instead of adding to my burden in this way."
"Wait, Yueyue, I know you're upset right now. I'll handle Qin Ye's situation properly," Qin Limin comforted her. But Bai Yueyue knew that Qin Limin doted on his children and would never be too harsh on Qin Ye.
"Hehe, sorry, although I shouldn't be the one to interrupt about Qin Ye's issue. But Qin Limin, since you're so busy disciplining the mayor's son that you have to leave it to your adopted daughter, then I will inform Liu Sixian." Li Jieyue said, seeing that Bai Yueyue was already as angry as a volcano.
"What? No, Li Jieyue, Sixian has other work to do." Upon hearing Li Jieyue's words, Qin Limin showed a resistance that Bai Yueyue had never seen before.
Huh, is my godmother really that fierce? Looking at Qin Limin's demeanor, Bai Yueyue couldn't help but suspect that Liu Sixian was a ruthless woman.
“I’ve already spoken with Sixian, and she’ll be back soon,” Li Jieyue retorted, dismissing Qin Limin’s statement. “I think she’ll handle Qin Ye’s matter patiently then!”
"Li Jieyue, you're standing up for Yueyue, right?" Looking at Li Jieyue's dignified smile that she maintained throughout, Qin Limin knew that it was a sign that she was angry.
Li Jieyue was already angry when she found out how Qin Ye treated Bai Yueyue, and she didn't tell Qin Zhenming only to save face for Qin Limin.
"How could that be? I'm just trying to help the mayor," Li Jieyue said. She didn't have the authority to discipline Qin Ye, and Qin Limin wasn't willing to make time to educate the child, so wasn't finding someone with time to take charge the best solution?
“I know, Yueyue. I will temporarily replace all of Qin Ye’s personal attendants with some of my personal attendants, as you previously suggested. The teacher will also be replaced, but the remaining details will have to wait for Sixian to return and she will decide.” Qin Limin knew that if he did not act, Li Jieyue would use more methods to educate Qin Ye on his behalf.
But they still want me to continue educating Qin Ye. After listening to Qin Limin's words, Bai Yueyue understood why he hadn't explicitly told her to stop educating Qin Ye.
However, Bai Yueyue really couldn't understand why Qin Limin insisted that she teach Qin Ye. According to Li Jieyue, Qin Ye's biological mother would be returning soon, so wouldn't it be better for her to take full responsibility then?
Looking at Li Jieyue, Bai Yueyue knew she definitely knew the reason, but she also knew Li Jieyue wouldn't tell her. Otherwise, Li Jieyue would have already told Bai Yueyue the precautions the night she took on the task of educating Qin Ye.
After saying goodbye to Qin Limin, on the way back to the Bai family manor, Bai Yueyue thought of Liu Sixian and couldn't help but ask, "Mother, what kind of person is Godmother?"
“Yes, he’s a very free person,” Li Jieyue replied after a brief moment of thought.
Freedom? What an unfamiliar word. Can freedom really be used to describe nobles? Bai Yueyue didn't understand Li Jieyue's description.
Take Bai Yueyue for example. After becoming a noblewoman, she no longer had the freedom to get her nails done, which made her sad for a long time.
Besides, since her stepmother's name contains the character "娴" (xian), she probably isn't very free, right?
After returning to the Bai family manor and bidding farewell to Li Jieyue, Bai Yueyue returned to her room with Hu Meier's help and collapsed onto the bed without regard for her image.
"Ugh! I'm exhausted. Seriously, why are there so many troublesome things?" She rolled over, skillfully pulled the pillow over and placed it under her face, then comfortably lay down on it.
Her day was wasted like this: she was tormented by Lu Wu, Lu Ji, and Qin Ye when she went out in the morning, tormented by Di Hao in the middle of the day, and tormented by the four of them again when she returned to the orphanage.
After finally sending Di Hao away, there were several hours of discussions at the Qin family home, and in the end, Qin Limin, who doted on his son, added to the burden.
"Miss, please allow me to help you change your shoes and clothes."
"I allow you." Having been away for a day, Bai Yueyue really didn't want to move anymore, so she lay down on the bed and waited for Hu Meier to serve her.
"You must be tired, Miss, you need to get up." Hu Meier said in a coaxing tone, looking at Bai Yueyue lying on the bed looking like a child.
"Oh dear, Mei'er, be a little more lenient," Bai Yueyue said, hugging her pillow and burying her face in it.
“Alright, Mei’er understands that Miss needs to rest more now, rather than enjoying the desserts that Young Master Ahao has given you.” Hu Mei’er acted like an excellent servant who understood her mistress’s needs.
Huh? Bai Yueyue's eyes lit up, and she instantly stood up. Don't misunderstand, she wasn't actually craving dessert. She simply felt sorry for her personal attendant and wanted to lighten Hu Meier's burden—it was only right and proper for a good mistress like her!
Besides, cough cough, although it was given by Di Hao, that dessert has been sitting for too long. If we don't eat it soon, it might go to waste! Sorry, she can't bring herself to waste food.
Hu Meier smiled faintly and helped Bai Yueyue change her clothes.
The young lady is so cute and easy to understand.
However, Hu Meier preferred that only she knew about this matter.
