Time Travel: The Noble Family

Yueying cried pitifully, "Third younger sister, you’re the only one who can help me. Third younger sister, I can’t live if this money isn’t recovered. Third younger sister, please, I beg you to help me!"

Yueyao mocked coldly, "Why should I help you? Just because you’re my eldest sister? That’s laughable. I’m an orphan who still relies on my uncle and great-uncle for support; where would I find the means to help you? I’ll repeat what I said; if you want to retrieve the money, go ask my uncle. I’m powerless."

Although Yueying wanted to plead further, Yueyao grew impatient, stood up, and said, "Eldest sister, I’m going to practice my calligraphy. Please leave." After she spoke, she went to the study, paying no further attention to Yueying, who was still crying miserably.

In the end, Nanny Hao managed to persuade Yueying to return home.

Sometime later, Xiang Wei came with a smile that was not quite a smile and said to Yueyao, "I just heard Eldest Miss saying you could help her but you chose not to. That’s too heartless."

Xiang Wei thought Yueying was foolish; Yueyao was only her cousin by being daughters from interconnected rooms, so why should she help her?

Yueyao was truly annoyed. She believed she had done everything in her power to support Yueying, but alas, it never amounted to anything good.

Xiang Wei was still unaware of the full story, but Xi Yu knew it all too well. Xi Yu felt indignant on behalf of Yueyao, "Miss, you should stop paying attention to Eldest Miss from now on. No matter how much you help her, if you fail just once to meet her expectations, she’ll feel you’ve wronged her. Miss, such a person isn’t worth your assistance."

Xi Yu was nervous, fearing she had overstepped her bounds when she heard Yueyao say, "You’re right, she doesn’t deserve my help. From now on, I won’t involve myself in these matters again." Yueyao then asked both Xi Yu and Xiang Wei to leave.
