546 Before we sail off

The old madam could hear Chi Lian talking and all the things she was saying, she already knew some and more. But getting some of these wealthy women to do was not traditionally seen as their way of giving back to society was not as easy as her great grand daughter-in-law thought. However knowing that their reputations were beginning to go down the drain in some places was also worrisome. With talk like that, the royal women would be the first to leave the high tea society and it would not take long for open criticism and others would follow. Perhaps it was time for some change in their group.

"Dear," she took Chi Lian's hands in hers and patted them slowly, "Thank you for looking out for me, for us all, we would never have known if you didn't bring this up. I will talk to the other women and madam Shan too, since another child was bumped off the admission list because of her, she should do something about it."
