Time Travel: The Noble Family

Yueyao glanced at the time and laughed as she put down the book, "Okay."

Taking advantage of her bathing time, Yueyao asked Xiang Wei, "What happened to Mingzhu? How could the people from the Marquis’ household let her run up to the mountain?" She could tell just by the things Mingzhu brought that her departure had been quite hasty. Normally, if the legitimate young lady of the Marquis’ household was to stay on the mountain, it wouldn’t be sorted out with less than twenty-three boxes. Therefore, Yueyao was certain that something had happened in Marquis Jingning’s Residence.

Xiang Wei looked very strange after hearing Yueyao’s question and hesitated before saying, "Miss, do you still remember Bai Han?"

Yueyao indeed remembered Bai Han; she had even criticized the girl’s facial features before, so it was hard not to remember: "I remember. What about her?"

Xiang Wei shook her head, "I don’t know why, but Bai Han became one of the Marquis’ concubines. When Mingzhu found out about this, she was furious and went to beat Bai Han. I heard Bai Han was so badly beaten that she was covered in blood and won’t be able to get out of bed for three months. The Marquis was not in the residence at the time, and the Heir’s Wife told her to go out and hide for a while; otherwise, when the Marquis returned, he would definitely severely punish her. The Heir’s Wife meant for Miss Mingzhu to stay at the imperial palace for a while, but Miss Mingzhu said she wanted to come to the mountain to look for you, so the Heir’s Wife had Mingzhu sent here."

The reason Madam Ping had Mingzhu leave for a while was because the Marquis would definitely have Mingzhu kneel in the ancestral shrine upon his return. No matter how despicable Bai Han’s actions were, she was now one of the Marquis’ concubines, and what Luo Mingzhu did was inappropriate. If this got out, Luo Mingzhu’s hard-earned reputation would be ruined again. Madam Ping wanted Mingzhu to hide in the mountains and then seal off the news, hoping it could be kept secret.

Yueyao was surprised, "Mingzhu has that much strength?" Even in anger, Mingzhu would at most beat someone until they were black and blue, not to the extent of confining someone to bed for three months.

Xiang Wei really wanted to roll her eyes; she wanted to say that that wasn’t the point, the point was, how did Bai Han even become the Marquis’ concubine? Xiang Wei replied, "I don’t know, but Bai Yi probably wouldn’t lie to me."

Yueyao chuckled, "Hehe, you wouldn’t know, you just don’t want to say it, right? Bai Han’s inability to get out of bed must be Bai Yi’s doing, right?" Yueyao had never seen Bai Yi and Xiang Wei fight, but she intuitively felt Bai Yi was more formidable than Xiang Wei.

Xiang Wei’s mouth twitched slightly, "Miss, you should ask the Marquis why he let Bai Han become a concubine. That’s really the point."

Yueyao glanced at Xiang Wei and said, "I knew you liked gossip, but I didn’t expect you to dare gossip about your own master." Yueyao was genuinely uninterested in how Bai Han managed to share the Marquis’ bed. There were many sleazy affairs in the households of the rich, and she was not at all interested!

Xiang Wei thought Yueyao was boring; the young lady wasn’t interested in gossip, which was truly peculiar. Xiang Wei shook her head and said, "Anyone who didn’t know would think you were seventy or eighty years old! Interested in nothing. Miss, one thing you have to remember is that I am now your maid, and you are my master. I’ve never gossiped about you." However, she wanted to gossip about Yueyao, but there simply wasn’t anything to discuss! Yueyao’s life was as monotonous as an old person’s, she thought Yueyao might as well become a nun.
