Time Travel: The Noble Family

Bai Yi signaled a few maids, and Zhi Qin among others exited. Xi Yu glanced at Yueyao, saw Yueyao nod her head, and also left.

Once everyone else in the room had left, Yueyao finally asked, "Has Zhao Yuner been betrothed yet?"

Mingzhu shook her head.

Frowning, Yueyao said, "She hasn’t been betrothed yet she resides permanently in your residence. Could it be that there is someone of a suitable age for her there? If she doesn’t hurry to discuss marriage after reaching marriageable age, she won’t be able to marry into a good family. Bai Yi’s disdainful demeanor shows that this woman is very calculating. I suspect this girl is aiming for the Heir of Marquis Jingning."

Mingzhu shook her head, "No, even if there were someone of the appropriate age, she wouldn’t be eligible." Even if she were the concubine-born child of Marquis Jingning’s Residence, Zhao Yuner, the daughter of a declined household, would not be worthy.

Mingzhu was naive, but she was not unaware.

Yueyao said, "If there are no men of her age, what is she doing staying at your house? Don’t tell me she is filial to your mother. If this gets out, people will think you and your brother are so unfilial that you need an outsider to show filial piety! This woman is clearly taking advantage of Mingzhu’s naivety."

Mingzhu shook her head, "It’s because my mother likes her that she allowed her to stay, and I can’t really say anything about it."

Yueyao wouldn’t dare to speak ill of the Lady of Marquis Jingning, "Maybe your mother intends to arrange a match for her. But how can your mother discuss matches when she doesn’t leave Marquis Jingning’s Residence? Mingzhu, has your sister-in-law arranged a match for her?" The Lady of Marquis Jingning could hardly get out of bed; how could she arrange a marriage for Zhao Yuner? This matter would definitely fall on Madam Ping’s shoulders. If Madam Ping hasn’t arranged a marriage for Zhao Yuner, then her speculation must be true.

Mingzhu glared at Yueyao, "If you have something to say, say it directly; don’t beat around the bush. You weren’t this annoying before."

Yueyao didn’t directly say it, "Figure it out yourself! If everything has to be explained to you, you’ll never grow up." The people in Marquis Jingning’s Residence protected Mingzhu well, keeping her very naive and unaware of the outside dangers.
