Time Travel: The Noble Family-Chapter 1308 - 536: Panic (Part 3)

Yuebing’s mood was very complex, wishing Lu Chengen would just die, then he wouldn’t be in her son’s way; but fearing that if Lu Chengen really died, she would have to bear this stigma for life. So, Yuebing suddenly didn’t know what to say.

Compared to Yuebing’s complicated feelings, Nanny Cui felt it best if Lu Chengen was gone, that way they wouldn’t have to worry about this matter. Second Young Master Chenglin would naturally become the Princely Heir of the Marquis’ household, and her own Madam wouldn’t have to fret over this matter.

Yuebing smiled wryly: "If something happens to the Heir, the Marquis will definitely suspect me."

Nanny Cui thought Yuebing’s attitude was unwise: "Madam, you didn’t do this, you don’t need to have any concerns. Even if the Marquis suspects you, you must stand your ground." Nanny Cui had long seen that Marquis Luyang was a man with a strong desire for power. Currently, the Marquis Luyang’s residence was in a weak position, and who knows, it might have to rely on the Lian family in the future. So Nanny Cui didn’t think Yuebing should fear Marquis Luyang. Especially at this time, she must stand firm. Otherwise, showing fear now would confirm the guilt.

Yuebing nodded and said: "I know what to do." For her child’s sake, she must brace herself to handle this matter.

In the middle of the night, Xiang Wei was startled awake by a clamor. Xiang Wei quickly got up upon hearing the maid say Yueyao had a nightmare.

Xiang Wei took a deep breath before entering the room, seeing Yueyao with a pale face, miserably leaning on the pillow.

Xiang Wei was really afraid of Yueyao dreaming now. Whenever Yueyao dreamed, nothing good followed. Not to mention the past, just last year when she had a nightmare about a drought in Jiangnan, this time it’s likely another heavy prophecy, hopefully avoiding calamity and disaster.

Xiang Wei approached Yueyao, asked the others to leave, and then said: "Even if a bad dream happens, as long as we prepare, we can turn danger into safety."

Yueyao leaned on the pillow, and after a long time spoke: "Xiang Wei, I dreamt that I commit suicide two years later."

Xiang Wei was stunned for a moment at those words, but then laughed cheerfully: "What kind of dream are you having!" Knowing Yueyao’s temper, how could she possibly commit suicide!

Yueyao saw Xiang Wei laughing and raised her head to ask: "Don’t you believe it?"

Xiang Wei laughed more heartily: "Forget whether I believe it or not! I only ask you, would you commit suicide? Would you leave An Zhichen and Kexin behind, just dying like that?"

Yueyao shook her head without thinking and said: "No."

Xiang Wei happily said: "Then that’s settled. You always say, for a mother, strength comes from love. Even if something really happened, for your children, you surely wouldn’t leave them. You’ve had so many dreams since childhood, this is the least reliable." Although it’s a pity An Zhichen isn’t by her side, Yueyao’s life has always been good, how could she commit suicide? 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

After hearing Xiang Wei’s analysis, Yueyao laughed: "This dream really is absurd, how could I commit suicide! I have to find Kexin a good husband, and there are still many things left undone! My children haven’t grown up yet, my career has just started, how could I die? No, I won’t die; surely, I’ll live to be seventy or eighty."

Xiang Wei was greatly pleased: "That’s even better, save me from being constantly frightened." Xiang Wei felt knowing future omens wasn’t a good thing.

Yueyao also smiled and nodded.

The news of Marquis Luyang’s Heir falling off his horse and ending up in a coma quickly spread throughout the Capital City. Because it involved the inheritance of the Nobility Title, almost everyone believed Yuebing had done it. Coupled with Yueyao’s past tales, the Lian family’s reputation hit rock bottom instantly.

Upon hearing people outside criticizing the Lian family’s upbringing issues, Yueyao couldn’t help but laugh: "The Lian family’s upbringing? This could implicate the next generation of girls."

Xiang Wei didn’t have much fondness for the Lian family people: "As long as Kexin isn’t affected, that’s all that matters." As long as Kexin remains unaffected, it doesn’t matter if the Lian family girls can’t get married.

Yueyao found Xiang Wei’s mindset disagreeable: "The next generation of Lian family girls hasn’t offended you, why curse them?"

Xiang Wei snorted: "With your attitude, how can you not be bullied!" If it weren’t for Yueyao’s indulgence, would Lin Qinghan treat her as if she’s nothing? At least Lady Lin sent a complete set of exquisite jade ornaments, worth far more than the red coral tree. But Lin Qinghan only sent silver notes without a word. Lin Qinghan’s behavior truly disgusted Xiang Wei. What annoyed Xiang Wei more was Yueyao calmly accepting the silver notes, and saying nothing afterward.

Yueyao chuckled lightly: "Who can bully me. Never mind, let’s drop it; Kexin should be coming over soon."

Xiang Wei rolled her eyes, but upon hearing soft footsteps outside, knew Kexin was approaching, she stopped talking.
