Second Young Master Wei and Third Young Master Wei, such male members of Marquis Pingnan's Mansion, were even intended to be pardoned by Emperor Chengtai and given important duties.
Wei Yuanniang, being just a girl, and moreover a twelve-year-old one, would be even less likely to be held tightly by the court or Emperor Chengtai.
Temple Master Hua Yang narrowed her eyes slightly, her well-maintained, delicate, and fair fingers gently tapping on the tabletop.
Knock, knock-knock—
With each soft sound, Temple Master Hua Yang's mind raced.
She sorted through her thoughts and clearly weighed the pros and cons.
In the end, she felt, it was feasible to keep Wei Yuanniang at the Taoist temple.
If luck was a little more on her side, she might even be able to invest early in the destined resurgence of Marquis Pingnan's Mansion!
"Oh my, I really do like this child, Yuanniang!"
Temple Master Hua Yang opened her eyes, revealing a joyful expression.
