Time Travel: The Noble Family

Of course, if one has money, they can buy their own materials for making clothes. In Yueyao’s storeroom, there are several rolls of satin, including two rolls of tribute satin.

Yueyao nodded and responded, "Alright."

Lady Mo, because of the previous matter, was very generous this time in making summer garments, providing each young lady with eight sets. Eight sets of garments were enough for the summer.

Lady Mo, however thick-skinned, could not possibly inquire about Yueyao’s visit to Marquis Jingning’s Residence in front of these people. It was Yuehuan who took the initiative to ask, "Third Sister, you visited the Marquis’ household yesterday. I often hear people say that once you enter the Marquis’ household, deep as the sea, how big is it really, to be compared to the sea?" Only Yuehuan could utter such a peculiar statement.

Yuehuan had no choice; she didn’t want to ask, but she had to. This was the annoyance of being a lackey, always having to act as the vanguard.

Yueyao inclined her head, "The Marquis’ household is very opulent, dazzling to behold. The most memorable feature is a lake, over twenty acres large, called Thousand Waters Lake, filled with lotus flowers, as beautiful as a fairyland." Then she said no more.

Yuehuan really admired Yueyao for her response, which was sufficient yet revealed nothing. However, she still felt amazed internally—such lavish display, using twenty to thirty acres just for lotus flowers, almost half as large as the entire Lian Mansion.

Yuehuan, catching a glance from Yuebing, felt incredibly stifled, but as she was the lackey, she naturally had to fulfill her role. Yuehuan continued to inquire, "Third Sister, aside from the lake, what else is there?" The opulence of the Marquis’ household hadn’t been detailed, and most importantly, nothing was said about the Heir of Marquis Jingning’s attitude.

Yueyao’s answer was frustrating, "There are also artificial hills, pavilions, and many precious flowers in the garden." Marquis Jingning’s Residence truly deserved its reputation as a prestigious noble house in the Capital City, a real blaze of glory.

Seeing that Yuehuan couldn’t get to the crux of the matter, Yuebing grew somewhat anxious. She took it upon herself to ask, "Third Sister, what did Marquis Jingning’s Residence invite you over for?"

Yueyao’s expression changed slightly, an observation noticed by all, hinting that it was not a pleasant matter.

Irritated internally, Yueyao managed to control her anger. It took her a while before she said in a muffled voice, "The Heir of Marquis Jingning and his wife want me to be a study companion for Third Miss of the Luo Family."
