Time Travel: The Noble Family-Chapter 1243 - 516: Prejudice (Part 4)

Mingzhu felt Niu Yanghui was worrying needlessly: "My cousin has seen countless dead people, why would he fear those fabricated rumors? You really underestimate my cousin."

Niu Yanghui chuckled. He also hoped An Zhichen wouldn’t mind the outside rumors, so Yueyao would not be affected, and could continue to create more and better works in the future.

After Brother Feifei consumed three doses of medicine, the doctor came for a follow-up. After checking the pulse, he said: "The child’s fever has subsided, but during this period, you must feed him some light food. Once he fully recovers, Madam should take good care of his nourishment. The child is in his foundational phase, and must not have any mishaps."

Yueyao nodded repeatedly.

Even though Brother Feifei’s fever subsided, he still could not get out of bed and needed to rest for two more days. However, Brother Feifei wasn’t bored since he had Brother Shengsheng and Brother Xuxu accompanying him, keeping him delighted.

Yueyao hadn’t seen Xiang Wei for a while and asked Gu You: "Where is Xiang Wei? She seemed to be gone since early morning. Where did she go?"

Gu You shook his head and said: "Sister Xiang Wei left early in the morning, but didn’t say where she was going or when she would be back."

Yueyao was well aware of Xiang Wei’s personality. When Xiang Wei returned at night, Yueyao called her over and asked: "Did you go to find leverage against the Wen Family?" Xiang Wei is the type who takes revenge for the smallest grievances, and after Brother Feifei suffered so much, Xiang Wei would hardly let it go.

Xiang Wei did not hide it: "Didn’t they say you were ruining their morality by strolling the Qinhuai River at night and visiting the Brothel, dishonoring womanhood? So I went to see if everyone in the Wen Family were paragons of virtue." Regardless of whether Yueyao visited a Brothel or not, what of it? They didn’t commit any heinous act, so why should the Wen Family look down on them? Fine, they thought so little of them! Then let them see how noble the Wen Family truly is.

Yueyao paused briefly, then said: "Do not fabricate things, do not go too far, and ensure the Wen Family doesn’t find out."

Xiang Wei was relieved seeing Yueyao not oppose her. It seemed that Yueyao was also annoyed by this matter, otherwise, she would never let her do such a thing.

In reality, Xiang Wei misunderstood. Yueyao was angry, but didn’t intend to retaliate, as the criticism came from mere children. However, Yueyao was very dissatisfied with Old Mr. Wen for punishing solely Brother Feifei and not the Wen Family’s children, thus she decided not to let Brother Feifei learn from Old Mr. Wen anymore. Yueyao knew Xiang Wei’s personality well, and since blocking her would not work, she proposed a few conditions so Xiang Wei would act with some scruples.

Brother Feifei recovered after two days.

Yueyao shared her decision with Brother Feifei: "Mother will write a letter to Old Mr. Wen telling him that you will no longer go to the Wen Family." The people from the Wen Family looked down upon her, considering her immoral, how could Brother Feifei thrive in such an environment?

Brother Feifei felt considerably relieved upon hearing Yueyao saying he would not have to go to the Wen Family anymore: "Mother, I didn’t want to go to the Wen Family either. Not only do they badmouth you, but they speak ill of father too."

Yueyao’s face turned very grim: "They speak ill of your father too?" She had thought it was due to her own reasons that Brother Feifei suffered, she hadn’t expected there was another layer to it.

Brother Feifei nodded and said: "Mother, they call my father a brute, one who knows nothing but killing. I was really angry at that time, that’s why I fought with them." Brother Feifei was most frustrated by the fact that he was alone, outnumbered, but if Brother Shengsheng and Brother Xuxu were there, the three brothers could have beaten those kids to tears. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Yueyao felt some guilt: "It was Mother’s mistake, not considering thoroughly before letting you take Old Mr. Wen as a teacher." Yueyao regretted deeply, she shouldn’t have been wrapped up in the art exhibition and handed this matter over to her teacher.

Brother Feifei was actually quite relaxed as he said: "Mother, I’m not really a formal disciple of the teacher yet." Brother Feifei saw Yueyao’s shocked expression and explained: "The teacher may have said he wanted to accept me as a closed-door disciple, but he didn’t hold any official apprenticeship ceremony. Outside, they all say I’m his closed-door disciple, but in fact, I’m not."

Yueyao keenly noticed that Brother Feifei didn’t refer to Old Mr. Wen as the teacher, but rather, solely as the gentleman. Yueyao gently asked: "Brother Feifei, tell Mother the truth? Is this what you think, or what Old Mr. Wen said?"

Brother Feifei bowed his head, after a long while he said: "This is what I thought."
