The attendant nodded. "You are right, Lady.
If only Madam could see you like this now, I am sure she would be proud of your plan."
The attendant had followed Cui Ying's mother for many years and had helped take care of Cui Ying since she was a child.
Because of this, Cui Ying did not feel worried about sharing her plans with her.
But the mention of her mother made her heart throb with pain. Her eyes glistened for a moment.
"I told you not to mention her again, that irresponsible woman," she said.
"But Lady, Madam is..." The attendant stopped talking when she saw the glare in Cui Ying's eyes.
Cui Ying's mother had died a few years after giving birth to her because of complications.
This left Cui Ying with complicated feelings toward her. She resented being born into the Situ Clan.
If she could have chosen, she would have preferred to be a commoner.
A commoner did not need to get involved in clan politics.
But in reality, she had no choice.
