Time Travel: The Noble Family

When Yueyao was studying the scriptures, she asked Ru Kong, "Master, I’ve heard that the winter plum blossoms at Zhaohua Temple are especially beautiful when they bloom. Master, I wonder if I could go and see them?"

Ru Kong shook his head, "That area has been sealed off, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter." Many places on the mountain are guarded and people aren’t permitted to come and go freely.

Yueyao felt somewhat disappointed, "I’ve been troubling Teacher this whole time." Then she handed over a five hundred taels silver note, "Teacher, this is for the temple to buy incense oil." Yueyao knew that five hundred taels wasn’t much for Zhaohua Temple, but it also represented my heartfelt sentiment.

After three consecutive sunny days, the snow on the ground had completely melted. Last time it was light snow, but if it were to snow heavily, it wouldn’t melt in less than ten or eight days, and by then, we might not be able to return home for the New Year.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one else in the house, Yueyao said to Yuehuan, "I reckon we’ll be returning in the next couple of days. If you encounter any difficulties at Lian Mansion later on, send someone to discreetly inform my two personal maids or Nanny Deng and Nanny Hao. If I’m able to help, I won’t refuse. However, for now, let’s keep our relationship a secret from those around you. Even your two maids cannot be told, they don’t seem trustworthy." These two maids were either from Lady’s family or Maternal Aunt Su’s people, neither reliable.

Yuehuan felt a weight lifted from her shoulders, having heard Yueyao’s words made her feel much more relieved. At least she wasn’t struggling alone anymore. In fact, Yuehuan had also thought a lot during this time, "Third Sister, I’ve been considering your advice for a long time, relying on Second Sister is indeed the best choice." Other than relying on Yuebing, Yuehuan couldn’t think of a better solution. She had plenty of ideas for making money, but if she really voiced them, not only would Maternal Aunt Su become suspicious, but Lady’s family would also consume her without leaving anything behind. Being too conspicuous in the past, she must keep a low profile from now on.

Yueyao nodded, "Yes, only if Second Sister does well and marries into a good family will you be able to find a good match. As for how to do it exactly, it’s up to your own abilities."

Yuehuan forced a smile, "I’ll find a way." Actually, it was extremely awkward for her to think about sucking up to a child, filling her with resentment, but there was no other choice.

Yuehuan could only reassure herself that she would treat Yuebing as her boss and serve her. Enduring for a few years would pass, otherwise she really couldn’t get over it.
