Ye-mama kept her own counsel when it came to this matter. In order to not make life difficult for Madame Lisa, she decided to take it upon herself to wake the couple up to the realities of the world. She returned to the house and took out two bottles of leftover poison, then made her way quickly to Repentance Garden.

Unexpectedly, when she arrived, she saw Bao Yue sitting in front of the door. When she noticed Ye-mama, Bao Yue smiled and said, “Mama, why have you come here in the middle of the night?”

“Nothing much. I just wanted to teach the couple a lesson. They have really gone too overboard this time. They’ve shown their masters no face, picking such a time to fool around! What if the prince gets wind of this disgusting matter when he returns and blames your mistress?

It seems like this Madame Lisa has made up her mind to protect them. She even sent Bao Yue, the most honest and loyal among the maidservants here, to guard them.

Bao Yue nodded. She actually agreed with Ye-mama’s point of view. But she had been given direct orders, so she could only guard the door diligently. “Sorry Ye-mama, the mistress said that nobody should spread rumors or increase the severity of the issue. This is why no one can see them.

Ye-mama smiled and said, “But they still need to eat, right? Why don’t I serve some of these dishes I brought to them.”

“Ye-mama, please don’t make things difficult for this servant. My mistress’ wishes are very clear and she doesn’t want anybody to get close to them.” Bao Yue wasn’t the most intelligent person, but one of her strong points was that she was very honest. Or else, she wouldn’t have been handpicked to help Madame Lisa manage household affairs.

The old madame was very good at identifying the right talent. Even with clever and alert servants like Bao Qin and Bao Yu, one still needed someone who was loyal and honest. Bao Yue was such a person.

Ye-mama had no choice but to return. But at the same time, she started to see this Madame Lisa in a new light. Although she might seem honest, she certainly isn’t stupid. Otherwise, there would be no way she would’ve sent someone to guard the place.

Ye-mama really didn’t know what Bai Lisa was planning, but she felt that she definitely needed to write a letter to the old madame to inform her of this matter. Otherwise, if Lisa mishandled the issue and tarnished the name of the household, she wouldn’t know how to face her old mistress afterwards.

Soon after that thought passed through her mind, she asked someone to send a letter to inform the old madame, but Bai Lisa managed to learn of this as well.

Although Ye-mama had a very long tenure in the estate, Bai Lisa had been hard at work capturing the hearts of people in the estate. For example, the maidservant who was always by Ye-mama’s side had grown quite close to Lisa.

Lisa learned of Ye-mama’s intentions during an idle chat with the maid. Lisa tugged on her hair as she thought furiously. She needed to keep this situation under wraps as long as she could. If the old madame caught wind and wrote back, Bai Lisa would be forced to kill them no matter what her wishes were. There was no one she could ask for help in this world, nor did she have any other ideas. But wait… that wasn’t entirely true. One person did come to mind that could help her, even if she was extremely reluctant to nurture the idea. The kind-hearted male supporting character!

She remembered that he was an idealist in the novel, especially when it came to love. The scholars in the past all enjoyed pursuing love. They believed that love and lust were entirely different entities, and could be separated.
