Chapter 562 - 218 Moving Away from Lian Mansion (Part 3)
Yueyao did not wake up until the sky had slightly brightened, and upon opening her eyes, she saw Zhuang Ruo Lan, then gazed at the weak light outside with a puzzled look.
Seeing Yueyao awake, and noting her complexion was not as pale as before, Zhuang Ruo Lan finally felt a weight lifted from her heart. What Zhuang Ruo Lan feared the most was that Yueyao would suffer from lasting effects, but now it seemed that Yueyao’s constitution was still very strong, as she had recovered quite well after a sleep.
The room was lit with two candles and two kerosene lamps, very bright.
Xi Yu brought in a bowl of Bird’s Nest Porridge, "Miss, you haven’t eaten anything for a day. Please eat something!" With Nanny Deng in charge of the kitchen now, everyone felt relieved.
Now feeling much better, Yueyao asked, "Cousin-in-law, what happened to me?" Aside from Xiang Wei, no one knew she was playing a calculated game, so she had to maintain an appearance of complete ignorance.
Zhuang Ruo Lan smiled and said, "Don’t worry, finish your meal first, then we’ll talk."
After Yueyao finished a bowl of Bird’s Nest Porridge, Xiang Wei recounted the events after Yueyao had fainted, "Miss, the Old Master found out that the mastermind behind the scenes was Maternal Aunt Bu, but unfortunately, Maternal Aunt Bu committed suicide by ingesting gold last night." These events had mostly been anticipated by them, only Maternal Aunt Bu’s response was unexpected.
Yueyao lowered her head and said nothing. If Zhuang Ruo Lan weren’t there, Yueyao could have asked many questions, but now she couldn’t. All this was part of their calculated plan, and if Zhuang Ruo Lan knew too much, it was uncertain what she might think. For now, Yueyao could only keep silent.
Zhuang Ruo Lan mistook Yueyao’s silence for overwhelming grief and softly asked, "Yueyao, what do you plan to do now?"
Yueyao shook her head. "I don’t know, I don’t know what to do." As she spoke, tears streamed down uncontrollably, the sobbing too intense for her to control.
Dressed in white, Yueyao now displayed a look of utter despair, a sight that could make anyone’s heart tremble.
