Bestowing favours and disfavours, since ancient time, this was an emperor's method.

Helian Wei Wei observed this scene and took it all in without saying anything and merely curved her lips up. She's afraid this stay at Hidden Spirit Temple wouldn't be as peaceful as Retired Emperor desired...

"Eldest Miss." Wei Wei was just going to enter the side room to dine when she was stopped by a noticeably pretty maid's voice.

That maid was none other than Su Yan Mo's personal maid of many years, Little Lian.

She slowly walked towards Wei Wei, wearing light pink long skirt, covered in silk and satin, although she couldn't be considered outstandingly beautiful, she still always radiated a cultivated bearing.

She was only a maid, yet everything she ate and used was better compared to the one who truly carried the Helian family's blood.

"Eldest Miss, My Lady knows that you've been driven away from the clan, and is suffering, probably without much money to use, so she had me give you these jewelry. They lady said that you're also already at marriageable age, so you'll need these things for your dowry."

She deserved to be the head maid who'd followed by Lady Su's side, clearly concealing disdain within her eyes, yet each word spoken was appropriate to the circumstances.

Wei Wei didn't immediately immediately receive the jewelry from her hands at all and only smiled, seemingly absent-mindedly. "How many years have you worked for the Defense Division?"

Little Lian obviously didn't foresee that she'd ask this kind of question, and only stiffened slightly, after which she replied. "I've entered the Defense Division for almost eight years now."

Has it been eight years.

When she was seven years old, Mother passed away.

The Defense Mansion then changed owners, and Lady Su assumed power. Even though she's alive, yet she's a good-for-nothing who couldn't cultivate anything.

She looked on helplessly with a hatred that couldn't be revenged, an injustice yet couldn't cry out!

So it turned out that it's already been eight years...

Wei Wei profoundly inhaled a long breath. There seemed to be a slight chill while she breathed. The more it's like that, the more harmlessly she smiled. "I'll accept these jewelry then. Go back and tell Madam Su, just tell her that I thank her for taking care of me all these years."

Little Lian creased her long eyebrows and watched the retreating Wei Wei's back. Why did she feel that there were overtones in the words that person spoke. However, after carefully thinking about the way this good-for-nothing had been in the past, Little Lian then felt at ease. It's not that she hadn't heard. She'd also heard recently of Wei Wei's achievements, but no matter how awesome they were, there's still been no progress in the way she handled matters. This kind of temper that disregarded consequences would easily be caught in people's schemes. Taking all things into consideration, she merely had a bit of talent in armaments, and didn't possess the least bit of anything else.

A young silly girl relying only on this little bit of talent dared to make life difficult for Miss Jiao Er, was simply acting too recklessly.

In the past, the madam disdained to deal with her because simply by praising her in a way that put her at a disadvantage was already enough to disorient this girl.

Now, this girl unexpectedly didn't want to live that way anymore, therefore the time had come for her to die.

Little Lian looked down, malicious intent densely imaged within her eyes. action
