Cai Lan noticed Yueying's concerns and said, "Miss, don't worry. Later, I will deliberately say in front of Hua Lei and the others that you've got blisters from copying scriptural texts and can't hold a pen. I think even if the scripture isn't finished tomorrow, the Third Young Lady won't be able to complain."
The courtyard was tiny, something known with just a turn around. As Cai Lan muttered that Yueying's hands were blistered and she couldn't hold a pen, it was hard for Hua Lei and Qiao Lan to ignore even if they wanted to.
After receiving stern admonitions from Nanny Hao and Qiao Lan, Hua Lei didn't say anything to her face. However, back in her room, she scoffed and said, "The Eldest Miss's hands are valuable, and our miss's hands aren't?." Hua Lei didn't want her lady to overexert herself, but alas, her lady wouldn't listen, doing whatever she needed to do without taking Hua Lei's words to heart. Now, her lady's hands were covered in thin calluses.
