Chapter 470 - 171 Compromise_3
Lady Mo’s complexion soured upon receiving the news; having just stayed with the Ma Family for over two months, and now she was expected to leave again for three to five months. To her, that thoughtless girl was beginning to treat the Lian Mansion as a hostel. However, Lady Mo had no choice but to acquiesce.
Lady Mo did not agree with Yueyao’s words, "Prepare to move to the Marquis’ mountain villa in the next few days. As for the Ma’s Mansion, just send a letter over."
Yueyao didn’t care about Lady Mo’s displeased expression and insisted on visiting the Ma’s Mansion. If Lady Mo disagreed, Yueyao planned to discuss it with Lian Dongfang.
Lady Mo’s gaze upon Yueyao turned unfriendly; she dared to openly defy her own wishes even before marrying into the Marquis’ household, "Since you want to go, just go."
Now, Yueyao truly had the confidence; Bai Yi had promised that once they reached the Summer Mountain Villa, he would assign someone to protect her. With a master by her side in the future, half of the worries in her heart were alleviated.
Upon hearing the ins and outs of this matter, Zhuang Ruolan’s expression turned somewhat bleak, "It’s all my fault. If I hadn’t mentioned you to her in the beginning, none of this would have happened." She had not expected the Lady of Marquis Jingning to be so unreasonable. She even blamed Yueyao for her own catching of the cold.
Yueyao shook her head, "I know cousin-in-law means well for me. Actually, I don’t really want to go to the Marquis’ household either; the rules there are too many and make people feel constrained. But since the Marquis’ household has already notified my granduncle, I cannot refuse to go. Don’t worry, cousin-in-law, two years will pass quickly." Her days were so busy that two years would flash by in the blink of an eye.
Ruo Lan nodded, "It’s good that you think this way."
Yueyao smiled lightly. In fact, she didn’t come out at a loss. Two years in exchange for two First-Class Guards was a bargain in her favor. Yueyao believed that the guards provided by the Marquis’ household would certainly be impressive.
In the course of their conversation, Zhuang Ruolan told Yueyao a piece of news—a neutral bit of news—Ma Yue was betrothed. Zhuang Ruolan said, "The wedding is set for the end of the year."
Yueyao was somewhat puzzled; she really hadn’t received any news before. She couldn’t help but ask, "Cousin-in-law, who is the family in question?"
Zhuang Ruolan laughed lightly, "It’s the daughter of the Tang Family, a wealthy merchant from Capital City."
