Lin Youning nodded. Ever since Big Brother came in, she glanced at him just once, having no face to engage with him in such matters.
After coming out of Shi'an Garden with Mrs. Dong, she held Lin Youning's hand, "Sister Ning, don't worry about anything, the Marquis Mansion will back you up in all matters."
Lin Youning nodded, "Thank you, Sister-in-law."
Mrs. Dong nodded, then left with her people. Lin Youning returned to her Warm Pavilion, dismissed everyone, and sat alone on the soft couch, lost in thought.
Mrs. Dong harbored resentment toward her.
Those weren't words of concern but rather telling her that this is the Marquis Mansion, and whatever she does should not involve the Mansion.
Lin Youning smiled. Earlier, Aunt was blunt in criticizing Mrs. Dong, so how could she not be angry?
Thinking about it, she's somewhat of an orphan, Mrs. Dong must've also felt wronged over the years, and now these few words were likely to make her understand her place.
