Time Travel: The Noble Family-Chapter 562 - 218 Moving Away from Lian Mansion (Part 3)

Yueyao did not wake up until the sky had slightly brightened, and upon opening her eyes, she saw Zhuang Ruo Lan, then gazed at the weak light outside with a puzzled look.

Seeing Yueyao awake, and noting her complexion was not as pale as before, Zhuang Ruo Lan finally felt a weight lifted from her heart. What Zhuang Ruo Lan feared the most was that Yueyao would suffer from lasting effects, but now it seemed that Yueyao’s constitution was still very strong, as she had recovered quite well after a sleep.

The room was lit with two candles and two kerosene lamps, very bright.

Xi Yu brought in a bowl of Bird’s Nest Porridge, "Miss, you haven’t eaten anything for a day. Please eat something!" With Nanny Deng in charge of the kitchen now, everyone felt relieved.

Now feeling much better, Yueyao asked, "Cousin-in-law, what happened to me?" Aside from Xiang Wei, no one knew she was playing a calculated game, so she had to maintain an appearance of complete ignorance.

Zhuang Ruo Lan smiled and said, "Don’t worry, finish your meal first, then we’ll talk."

After Yueyao finished a bowl of Bird’s Nest Porridge, Xiang Wei recounted the events after Yueyao had fainted, "Miss, the Old Master found out that the mastermind behind the scenes was Maternal Aunt Bu, but unfortunately, Maternal Aunt Bu committed suicide by ingesting gold last night." These events had mostly been anticipated by them, only Maternal Aunt Bu’s response was unexpected.

Yueyao lowered her head and said nothing. If Zhuang Ruo Lan weren’t there, Yueyao could have asked many questions, but now she couldn’t. All this was part of their calculated plan, and if Zhuang Ruo Lan knew too much, it was uncertain what she might think. For now, Yueyao could only keep silent. ƒreewebɳovel.com

Zhuang Ruo Lan mistook Yueyao’s silence for overwhelming grief and softly asked, "Yueyao, what do you plan to do now?"

Yueyao shook her head. "I don’t know, I don’t know what to do." As she spoke, tears streamed down uncontrollably, the sobbing too intense for her to control.

Dressed in white, Yueyao now displayed a look of utter despair, a sight that could make anyone’s heart tremble.

With compassion, Zhuang Ruo Lan embraced Yueyao and gently said, "Yueyao, your uncle intends for you to move to the Ma Family, and thereafter live there permanently. However, Lord Lian said it’s up to you. What do you think?"

Suddenly, Yueyao looked up and asked, "Cousin-in-law, are you saying I can move out and not have to stay with the Lian family anymore?" In fact, Yueyao felt relieved inside. She had been genuinely worried about potential complications, but fortunately, everything had gone smoothly, and her meticulous planning had not been in vain.

Zhuang Ruo Lan, pleased with Yueyao’s demeanor, replied, "Once your health improves, you can move to Ma’s Mansion and live permanently in Begonia Garden."

Overjoyed, Yueyao said, "Cousin-in-law, I’m fine, can we move as soon as it gets light?" Although the recent events were part of their act, the initial scare when she heard the kitchen maid wanted to poison her had genuinely frightened her. She had worked hard to survive this long, and she wanted to cherish her life.

Zhuang Ruo Lan knew that Yueyao had been truly scared this time and comforted her, "Don’t worry, the doctor said you need to recuperate for a couple of days, and I will stay with you during that time."

Yueyao softly thanked her, "Thank you, cousin-in-law." Yueyao felt guilty for exploiting the love of her uncle and cousin-in-law.

Zhuang Ruo Lan smiled, "There’s nothing to thank me for. I’m counting on you to help me look after Keyue once you’re at Ma’s Mansion, which will give me a break."

Yueyao knew that Zhuang Ruo Lan was just being polite and smiled. Words of gratitude need not be said too much; keeping them in her heart and looking for an opportunity to support her cousin-in-law in the future would suffice.

As the day broke, Zhuang Ruo Lan sent Xi Yu to find Lian Dongfang, stating that Yueyao wished to move out of Lian Mansion that very day. Zhuang Ruo Lan wanted Lian Dongfang to know that Yueyao’s departure from Lian Mansion was inevitable.

Upon hearing that Yueyao wanted to reside permanently at Ma’s Mansion, Lain Dongfang’s expression darkened instantly. He knew Yueyao would choose to go to Ma’s Mansion, yet he had harbored a sliver of hope, thinking that Yueyao, a child of the Lian family, wouldn’t turn away. But reality had shown him this was all wishful thinking.

Lian Dongfang soon arrived at Lanxi Courtyard and upon reaching the bedroom where Yueyao was, he asked, "You say you want to leave Lian Mansion now to live permanently at Ma’s Mansion?"

This time Yueyao was no longer submissive and directly stated, "Uncle, I don’t want to die, I want to live well." She wouldn’t play along with Lian Dongfang’s words. Who knew what traps he might set for her to fall into? All she had to do now was to appear frightened, and leave the rest to her uncle and older cousin to handle.

While Lian Dongfang was about to speak, Zhuang Ruo Lan was no longer polite and coldly said, "Lord Lian, since Yueyao herself wants to reside permanently at Ma’s Mansion, Lord Lian should keep his word." Zhuang Ruo Lan’s impression of the Lian family had already plummeted to the lowest point. Though initially puzzled by the entire situation, she no longer had any doubts about Yueyao’s safety after the Lian family had pushed Maternal Aunt Bu forward as a scapegoat and then silenced her. Lady Mo’s ruthlessness was too extreme, leaving Yueyao in Lian Mansion would undoubtedly lead to her being harmed.
