Yueyao met Ma Chengteng in the study.
Yueyao, with an anxious look, said, "Uncle, it’s not that I am being overly worried, but Lady Mo just can’t hold back anymore. She did not let me return this time, and if she continues like this, she might even put me under house arrest in the future." Matters within the Lian Mansion were not suitable to discuss with Ruo Lan, but she could tell Ma Chengteng everything in detail.
Hearing this, Ma Chengteng’s eyes blazed with fury. He had not expected that Lady Mo really couldn’t restrain herself anymore. He could not directly take action against Lady Mo, but he had other methods. Right away, he said to Yueyao, "Don’t worry, if Lady Mo really dares to do something to you, your uncle won’t just stand by." As of now, Lady Mo had not done anything substantial, only giving some verbal difficulties. But if she really dared do anything to Yueyao, he would not spare the Mo Family. His niece was not someone to be bullied easily.
Yueyao murmured within her heart, if Lady Mo really did something to her, would she still have anyone to turn to? Helplessly, Yueyao asked, "Uncle, is there still no news about the guards?"
Ma Chengteng shook his head, "Finding a female with martial skills is not difficult; the hard part is finding one with a clean background and identity, who is also not too old. But don’t be anxious, we will definitely find one."
Yueyao sighed inwardly, she couldn’t afford to search slowly, she was running out of time. Yueyao nodded, "Alright." She would let her uncle search first. One could never have too many female guards; one more guard meant one more layer of protection.
After Yueyao returned, she instructed someone to pack her belongings, and at that moment Yuehuan came over. Yuehuan’s reason for coming was to borrow a couple of books.
Yuehuan also heard that Yueying had taken Yueyao aside alone, and she had thought to use borrowing books as a pretense to come over. Having someone to cover for her would always be better.
Hong Mei very tactfully left, leaving the study with only the two of them. Yueyao, looking at Yuehuan, said, "Why take such a big risk to come here?"
Yuehuan gave a bitter smile, "I had no choice but to ask you for help, Third Sister."
Yueyao, puzzled, asked, "What happened?"
Without hiding anything, Yuehuan said, "I’m afraid I won’t be able to keep the silver coins I have."
