Time Travel: The Noble Family

Ma Chengteng had received the news and immediately took half a day off to visit Yueyao at Lian Mansion. Seeing her albeit pale, yet seemingly fine, he finally let go of his worries, "Uncle Master heard the news that your carriage had an accident and fell off a cliff, I thought you..." He did not continue with the ominous words. Yueyao cried in Ma Chengteng’s arms, "Uncle, I almost couldn’t see you again." Yueyao cried vigorously, still frightened by the incident. Had it not been for her quick decision to jump out, and knowing from past incidents to curl up to avoid severe injuries, she would have ended up lying in bed like Qiao Lan.

Nanny Hao, who had watched the Third Young Lady stay composed from the moment the accident happened, was deeply saddened to see her crying so bitterly in front of Uncle Master. She realized she had misunderstood the Third Young Lady’s calmness; it was not that she was fearless, but rather that she did not want to show weakness in front of Lady Mo and the maids. In front of Uncle Master, it was like finding her backbone, so she stopped pretending to be strong.

Ma Chengteng also did not know how to comfort Yueyao. The incident had scared Yueyao, but he couldn’t just tell her not to ride in a carriage anymore.

Yueyao asked Nanny Hao and the two maids to leave. Once only the two of them were left in the room, she voiced her suspicions, "Uncle, I think this was not an accident, but someone trying to harm me."

Upon hearing Yueyao’s suspicion that it was not an accident but murder, Ma Chengteng’s expression darkened. Hearing Yueyao describe the situation in detail, he also became somewhat hesitant. He could not believe that Lady Mo could be so heartless and cruel.

Yueyao could see Ma Chengteng’s hesitation, "Uncle, this time I reacted quickly. Otherwise, I would be in the same uncertain state between life and death like Qiao Lan."

Ma Chengteng sighed softly, "Yueyao, there is no evidence." If there had been evidence, he could have used it as a reason for Yueyao to move into Ma’s Mansion; however, all these were mere speculations by Yueyao, baseless statements that could bring her criticism if they leaked out.

Yueyao felt frustrated. If there were evidence, she would not even consider moving to Ma’s Mansion, she would have moved out on her own already. Now that moving out was not an option, she still needed to ensure her safety, "Uncle, just because there’s no evidence, should we let Lady Mo do whatever she pleases? If so, I wouldn’t even know when I might be harmed again. If there is a first time, there will definitely be a second, and a third. It’s only logical to be a thief for a day, not to prevent theft every day."
