Tan You smiled faintly. "Are you going to tell me you didn't go out herding with everyone else after we reclaimed the nearby grasslands?"
Chen Yue replied defiantly, "But that wasn't with you, Mother! Mother..."
When it came to wheedling, Chen Yue was the undisputed master. Of the three daughters, Chen Xi was composed and steady, and the third daughter, Chen Xing, also had a quiet disposition. Only the middle child, Chen Yue, was a mystery—no one knew who she took after.
In any case, Tan You felt Chen Yue was nothing like her. 'I'm such a quiet and proper person,' she thought. 'How could I have possibly raised a little rascal like her? She'd climb any pole you put in front of her, and if there wasn't one, she'd build her own ladder to climb it.'
"It's the Matriarch! The Matriarch is really back!"
"Greetings, Matriarch!"
"The Matriarch is back!"
