Time Travel: The Noble Family-Chapter 484 - 179 Bowing Down

Yueyao was not as miserable as Bai Yi had described. She strolled leisurely down the mountain, which looked more like a leisurely walk than a hurried journey.

Yueyao was in no rush, and Xiang Wei and Hua Shaoye were even less so, only Xi Yu was impatient.

Xi Yu anxiously said, "Miss, it’s not safe up here on the mountain. Can we make it down before it gets dark?" Xi Yu didn’t aim to humble her lady, but she was worried about being unable to reach the base of the mountain before nightfall, which would mean having to spend the night outside. It was dangerous in the wilderness.

Xiang Wei said with a smile, "If you could walk a little faster, we could reach the base before dark." It was certain they wouldn’t return to the Capital City before nightfall, but there were households at the base of the mountain. Staying with a farm family wouldn’t be too bad.

Xi Yu quickly shut her mouth; among the four of them, she walked the slowest.

Xiang Wei turned her head to ask Yueyao, "Miss, are we really going down the mountain?" She felt Yueyao was a very rational person and wouldn’t just leave out of anger over something Mingzhu said.

Yueyao laughed and said, "If we do not take drastic measures, how can we control her?" That bad temper was truly not something many people could bear.

Xiang Wei couldn’t help but smile. Indeed, only someone with Yueyao’s disposition could rein in Mingzhu. This time, the Heir’s Wife had found the right person for the task.

Seeing Xi Yu with sweat covering her forehead and hardly able to lift her feet, Yueyao laughed and rested under a large tree by the road.

Bai Yi saw from a distance the group resting under the tree.

Naturally, Yueyao was not going to follow Bai Yi back. She said to Bai Yi, "You have to make her realize that her behavior is wrong. Bai Yi, if she later asks if you would mind being sent away because of what she said, you must answer truthfully. If you always indulge her without limit, she will ultimately be the one to suffer. You can’t protect her forever." Yueyao shook her head when she saw Bai Yi wanted to retort, "Haven’t you ever thought, with her bad temper, do you think she would live well if she married into another family? Even if you can still protect her after she gets married and prevent others from bullying her, can you make her happy?"

Bai Yi was startled; he hadn’t thought that far ahead. Meanwhile, Xiang Wei, standing aside, looked at Yueyao thoughtfully.

Bai Yi sincerely said, "Miss Lian, I thank you on behalf of our miss. You are truly doing this for her own good."

Yueyao smiled lightly and said no more. She had firsthand experience. In her past life, the Lady family’s indulgence had prevented anyone from telling her that her behavior was wrong, which led to her isolation and ultimately having no one to turn to for help. Mingzhu, with a formidable family, wouldn’t have no one to turn to, but even if the family was powerful, she had to live her own life. With Mingzhu’s current temperament, even if she didn’t marry into Duke Ning’s Mansion but into another household with a lower threshold than Marquis Jingning’s Residence, she would not live well.

Seeing Bai Yi returning alone, Mingzhu asked glumly, "Yueyao said I was too harsh when I scolded you earlier. Do you think I went too far?" She had only spoken out of anger and didn’t truly want Bai Yi to leave.

After a moment of silence, Bai Yi said, "Miss, I felt very upset." If Yueyao hadn’t brought it up, she wouldn’t have thought much of it, as she had grown accustomed to her miss’s bad temper. Only now did she realize their behavior was indeed inappropriate.

Luo Mingzhu turned to Zhi Qin and asked, "What about you?"

Zhi Qin intended to say it was nothing, but seeing Bai Yi glare at her, she didn’t dare express her sadness and simply lowered her head.

Mingzhu, looking at Zhi Qin’s expression and then at Bai Yi, felt an inexplicable emptiness inside. Could her temper be as bad as Yueyao had described?

The midday sun blazed fiercely, and even the tall trees’ shade couldn’t temper the heat. Xi Yu felt as if she was being roasted, sweating profusely. She frowned and said, "Miss, I really can’t walk anymore." This was the first time Xi Yu had walked such a long distance under the scorching sun.

Yueyao found a large tree nearby and said, "Then let’s rest a bit longer." fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Xiang Wei suggested, "Should we go up the mountain to hunt for some game? We left without bringing anything, and after walking so far, we’re all hungry."

Yueyao shook her head and replied, "No need, let’s find some water to drink first!"

Hua Shaoye looked around and said, "Miss, wait here for a while, I’ll go and see if I can find some."

No sooner had the three of them caught their breath than Hua Shaoye returned with water cupped in a taro leaf. Yueyao took a few sips first, while Xi Yu guzzled it down eagerly.

Xi Yu was indeed very thirsty, with her throat feeling as dry as a desert. Yet, after drinking all the water, she blushed embarrassingly; Xiang Wei hadn’t had a drink yet!

Xiang Wei laughed and said, "I’m not thirsty." She wasn’t as delicate as Xi Yu, and this distance was nothing to her.
