Time Travel: The Noble Family

Yueyao thought for a moment and then asked, "Cousin-in-law, are you very close with the second cousin-in-law?"

Zhuang Ruolan looked puzzled as Yueyao usually didn’t bother with such trivial matters, "It’s alright, what’s the matter?" Indeed, the relationship between the two sisters-in-law was quite good.

Yueyao didn’t want to speak ill of Madam Tang, but she wanted to give Zhuang Ruolan a heads-up, "The second cousin is becoming more and more ambitious because of the second cousin-in-law, which is a great thing for the Ma Family." Yueyao seemed to be praising Madam Tang, but her words were filled with disdain.

Zhuang Ruolan smiled and said, "Indeed, it’s a good thing. Even your elder brother and I think that uncle is fortunate to have married such a good wife!"

Yueyao didn’t deny this, but she disagreed with Madam Tang, so she said, "The second cousin-in-law is very smart, but perhaps too smart."

Zhuang Ruolan smiled and touched Yueyao’s somewhat dark hands, "You indeed see things clearly, don’t worry, I know my limits." Madam Tang was shrewd and capable, and could bend and stretch, having completely won over Ma Yue. It was beneficial for them that Ma Yue was progressing and not dragging them behind. Thus, she didn’t mind some minor issues, but she wouldn’t get too close to Madam Tang. A person like her calculated everything clearly and could bend and stretch to achieve her goals.

Zhuang Ruolan thought this might be due to the environment in which Madam Tang had survived. It was fine to be calculative in business, but if she was so calculating even towards those close to her, who would dare to become close with such a person!

Yueyao laughed, "It’s good that cousin-in-law understands her well."

Zhuang Ruolan moved past this topic and mentioned some good news, "The wife of the Heir of Marquis Jingning gave birth to a big, healthy boy in February. A few days ago, when the child turned one month old, the wife of the Heir of Marquis Jingning mentioned she wanted to invite you to the full moon celebration, but unfortunately, you were at the manor."

Yueyao smiled lightly, she had known about this already as Mingzhu had written to her. Mingzhu couldn’t contain her joy in the letter. With a nephew now, she felt her mother smiled more, and her father was happy every day talking about playing with his grandson, and even her brother had become much easier to speak with.
