Chu Jin Yao paused. Although Third Young Lady added a lot of emotions, there were no issues in matters before and after the event thus she could only reply, “It is as such.”
Seventh Young Lady immediately turned around to ask Madam Yan, “Mother, isn’t it obvious that she tore up another’s collection of poems? Otherwise, would Chu Jin Miao tear it up herself?”

Old Chu Furen was so angry that her face was ashen. She was one that would not speak or smile and thus was not favoured by her husband when younger. As such, she became even more serious and disciplined and managed her children more. Now that she had waited till the skies were cleared and the moon had appeared, she had become the old dowager who said as she means and thus was very proud of her own teachings. However, she had never expected her granddaughters, who she thought were very disciplined and proud of, would actually throw things in public.
Seeing that Old Chu Furen had arrived, the young ladies in the rear room restrained themselves. One did not know when Sixth Young Lady had returned as she supported Old Furen to the rear room and shook her head silently after sweeping her eyes across the room.

Chu Jin Miao entered the rear room with the accompaniment of Third Young Lady. Upon seeing Lin Xi Yuan and Chu Jin Yao, she was slightly startled, “ShiZi, why have you returned?”
Lin Xi Yuan became inexplicably uncomfortable upon hearing those words, “Why? Should I not come back?”

Chu Jin Miao said that she wanted to write in the rear room and the rest of the young ladies had their interests peaked. In the end, the small rear room was filled with people and everyone was holding brushes as they knelt in front of the desk to write.
Lin Xi Yuan said to Chu Jin Yao, “Younger Biao Sister, there is no more space on the table here, do move a little there.”

Chu Jin Miao smiled awkwardly, not wanting to entertain Third Young Lady at all. She spoke hurriedly, “It is getting late so I will send Deng Momo out and not let Momo miss the meal time.”
However, Third Young Lady refused to let the matter slide and continued to talk with Deng Momo forcefully. Chu Jin Miao was afraid that Third Young Lady would spoil matters. She had finally made a good impression in front of Deng Momo and hoped that it would not be ruined by the foolish Third Young Lady.

After classes were dismissed, Deng Momo suddenly realised that she had left something behind and could only turn back to pick it up.
When she walked to the open corridors, she unexpectedly found Chu Jin Miao too.

Chu Jin Yao calmly asked, “Why?”
“It is that person that created the nonsense. Even though there are Momos in the courtyards of the young ladies, they are discipline Momos in name, in fact they are not like that at all. If one is a Di born young lady, then the mother would arrange early on for the young lady. The matters in the courtyard would be managed by the young lady and the discipline Momo would take on the bad role and scare the maids. However, your Momo is just not right. If there is such a person present, then all your matters have to go through her. Don’t mention that nothing can be done, your every move would be known to her. If this goes on, who would be the one benefitting?”

That day when Sun Momo returned to Chao Yun Yuan, she dared not be as insolent as she had been yesterday.
The servants of Chao Yun Yuan had seen Sun Momo leaving high and mighty and even throw words that she would seek Furen for justice, while Chu Jin Yao calmly went out. Upon returning, Sun Momo became obedient and dared not be rude to Chu Jin Yao again. The few maids were somewhat surprised and started to respect Chu Jin Yao and put away their contempt.
