Time Travel: The Noble Family

Maternal Aunt Su secretly felt alarmed. Though the Third Young Lady appeared indifferent to competing with them, always seeming to avoid conflict, in reality, she had been plotting all along. Yet they still thought they had everything under control until they ended up completely defeated in the end.

Upon receiving the news from the Servant Woman that Lian Dongfang had agreed to Ma Chengteng’s request for Yueyao to stay long-term at Ma’s Mansion, Lady Mo understood everything and furiously said, "This cursed girl actually framed me like this, I will not let her off easily! No, I must tell the Old Master and make him forbid her from leaving." If Yueyao left Lian Mansion, she would no longer be able to seek revenge for the current slander, moreover, a large amount of money would no longer have anything to do with her.

Maternal Aunt Su shook her head and said, "Madam, we have no proof, and we’ve also lost the initiative. If you now go and tell Old Master about this, it will only irritate him further." Who would believe now that this was all a play directed and acted by the Third Young Lady herself? Far from believing it, it would likely cause Ma Family to break ties with Lian Family; if it came to tearing off faces, Madam would be the one who suffers.

Lady Mo’s face contorted with anger: "Are we just supposed to let this go?"

How else could it be handled if not let go? There was no turning back in this matter, they had to reluctantly accept it. Maternal Aunt Su sighed deeply and said, "Madam, for now, this is the only way. We can plot further in the future. The more we do now, the more mistakes we make." Ma Chengteng had already fixed his belief that Madam was the chief culprit. Ma Chengteng had held back from making a bigger issue due to some reservations, but if Madam did anything more, a real falling out was likely. If that happened, Madam would truly have to be sent to the Nunnery.

Lady Mo passed out from sheer anger.

Yueyao awakened in the evening and as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Zhuang Ruolan. Yueyao truly suffered greatly this time, nearly losing her life in the ordeal. Upon awakening, her throat was dry and she was too weak to lift her hand, feebly calling out, "Water..."

Zhuang Ruolan hadn’t reacted yet, but Xiang Wei, more perceptive than most, heard Yueyao’s soft murmur. Xiang Wei quickly said, "Young Lady has woken up, bring some water quickly, she wants to drink."
