What Mrs. Yue had just said was full of intention meant to take a stab back at Mrs. Helan's offensive comment. It was clear that she meant to say that it was not because Zhou Ning was ugly, it was because Qingsi was prettier than her.
That statement left a bitter aftertaste in both Mrs. Helan and Zhou Ning's mouths as they were clearly offended since both of their expressions instantly turned sour. No woman in the world would not care about their physical appearance. However judging by what Mrs.Yue hinted at, she was only trying to be as polite as possible while simultaneously taking a jab at them. The only difference is, if she had every intention of being as blunt as possible, she could have pointed at her and told her that she is undeniably ugly.
