Chapter 377 - 133: Ma Chengteng Visits the Mountain_3
Hong Yi bowed her head, daring not to speak again.
Yuehuan asked Hong Yi to leave and a smile appeared on her face. She mused, "Why would Yueyao, who was perfectly fine, run to the mountains to endure hardships? So it was a façade to pray for the Old Madam’s blessing; she actually wanted the monks to dispel those rumors for her. That’s even better, the better Yueyao’s situation, the more advantageous it is for her."
"Whoosh—whoosh—" A fierce wind howled, and a thunderous roar echoed continuously in the forest, as if hundreds of beasts were bellowing, which was particularly terrifying.
Yueyao watched the windows tremble: "The wind between these mountains is truly frightening." The wind in the Capital City would never be this strong.
Hua Lei nodded repeatedly, "This wind is indeed frightening. Miss, I think we should return sooner!" It was the first time she had been terrified by the ghostly wails and wolf howls outside, and it wasn’t until the next day when they asked a young monk at the temple that they learned it was merely the wind causing mischief.
Yueyao chuckled, "It’s already the end of November, in just over half a month we will be going back. We’re not short of time now." Yueyao believed that her granduncle and the Lady family would definitely not let her spend the New Year in the mountains.
While they were speaking, they heard that someone from the mansion had come. It was the steward again, who brought some items and still tactfully hoped they would return.
Yueyao refused to go back, "I will return at the end of the year." Life in the mountains was peaceful, unlike the unrest back at Lian Mansion.
Yuehuan sent a letter of well-being back, but as for Yueyao, naturally, there was nothing, not even a word of greeting.
The Lady family was unhappy upon hearing that Yueyao would not return until the end of the twelfth lunar month, and immediately summoned Maternal Aunt Su: "Did the Fourth Miss mention anything to you in her reply?"
