Time Travel: The Noble Family

Yueyao sighed and said, "I really wanted to see it the year before last during the twelfth lunar month, but the monks in the temple said it was not allowed without permission. Mingzhu, you know a lot more people than I do. See if there’s a way for us to get in, even if it’s just for a short while." Yueyao truly longed to visit the famed plum forest.

Xiang Wei was speechless. This was an open strategy, yet it wasn’t off-putting.

Bai Yi clearly understood Yueyao’s plan and upon hearing Yueyao state it outright, just smiled. She felt this was for the best; her mistress was pure of heart, and it was better for her to ask for help directly than to scheme.

Mingzhu said loyally, "Don’t worry, if there’s really such a beautiful place, I’ll make sure you see enough of it." Such a small matter was no trouble for her.

Once back in the courtyard, Xiang Wei laughed and said in a low voice, "Miss, actually, if you want to visit the plum forest, you just need to talk to Mr. Yu Shan, no need to mention it to Mingzhu." Mr. Yu Shan and Master Xuan Tian were friends, so visiting a plum forest would be a trivial matter to him.

Yueyao uttered an "Oh" and then smiled, "It’s all the same. This matter isn’t troublesome anyhow." Even if she asked Mingzhu, it was nothing serious.

Xiang Wei shook her head, unable to understand Yueyao’s way of thinking. In fact, Yueyao mainly hadn’t thought about asking Mr. Yu Shan, otherwise, she wouldn’t have spoken to Mingzhu.

This indeed was no difficult task for Mingzhu; the next day, they went to the plum forest. However, the plum blossoms in the forest weren’t in full bloom at the time, and there wasn’t much to see.

Yueyao, seeing Mingzhu’s disappointed expression, said with a smile, "Wait until the heavy snow falls, and the plum blossoms bloom amidst the black and white; the scenery will be stunning. You will never forget it for the rest of your life."

Mingzhu was skeptical.
