Time Travel: The Noble Family-Chapter 526 - 200 Hua Lei Leave

Hua Lei fell ill that very day.

Yueyao stood in the courtyard, staring blankly at the pot of chrysanthemums. In her previous life, both Hua Lei and Mu Qiu had been by her side for years. Now, Mu Qiu was still in Lian Mansion, but Hua Lei was about to be dismissed by her, which made her very distressed.

Xiang Wei felt that Yueyao did not need to be so sentimental, it was just a maid who couldn’t differentiate the important from the unimportant, but Xiang Wei also knew that it wasn’t the right time to say this.

Nanny Hao, standing to one side, also dared not speak. Yueyao’s clean and decisive handling of Hua Lei was beyond Nanny Hao’s expectations. However, Nanny Hao was also relieved, as she had always been worried that Hua Lei’s temperament might cause trouble for the young lady. Now that she was being sent away, it was for the best.

That night Yueyao had a dream where Hua Lei was beaten to death. She woke up in fright and then stared blankly at the ceiling, not knowing how much time had passed. Eventually, Yueyao dozed off, and when she woke up, it was almost noon.

This dream further solidified Yueyao’s resolve to send Hua Lei away. After the doctor had seen Hua Lei and confirmed her old injuries had recurred, Yueyao sent her away to the manor to recuperate under that pretext, and then instructed that Hua Lei’s entire family be sent there as well. Yueyao held the deed to Hua Lei’s family, so the Lady family could not stop her.

It was very hard for Yueyao when Hua Lei left, she said, "If you ever need anything, just let me know." Hua Lei was now fifteen, the age for discussing marriage. Yueyao planned to provide a dowry when Hua Lei married, thereby fulfilling her duty of care between master and servant.

To ensure Hua Lei’s dignity and prevent gossip, Yueyao had Nanny Hao personally escort Hua Lei to the manor.

As Hua Lei was leaving, she turned into a crying mess.

Nanny Hao, supporting Hua Lei, whispered in her ear, "The young lady arranged this departure to give you dignity. Crying like this, what would others think? Hua Lei, the young lady has been good to you." In another household, Hua Lei’s fate would certainly have been far worse.

Hua Lei forced herself to stop crying.

When Zhuang Ruolan heard of Yueyao’s decision, she smiled and said, "Yueyao really put thought into this maid’s issue." Such a maid definitely couldn’t remain, but Zhuang Ruolan had not expected Yueyao to dismiss her in this way.

Cai Yun also thought Yueyao was very generous. ƒreewebɳovel.com

October 16th was Zhuang Changhe’s big joyful day. Zhuang Ruolan planned to go there three days early to help with the preparations. Zhuang Ruolan would leave the mansion for three days to stay at her parents’ home, and she certainly needed to discuss this with Ma Peng.

Ma Peng naturally had no objections, but she said, "Ruo Lan, Yueyao is now ten years old and should start learning to manage a household. During these few days when you are not here, let her manage the household."

Zhuang Ruolan widened her eyes and said, "Husband, Yueyao has not learned about household management."

Ma Peng smiled and said, "It’s because she hasn’t learned that she should be the one managing! If she declines saying she hasn’t learned, then tell her to agree to learn household management from you afterward. If she agrees, even better."

Zhuang Ruolan knew her husband always took great care in matters concerning Yueyao, so she did not oppose: "Alright. I will talk to Yueyao tomorrow."

Zhuang Ruolan would not act in any way that could be criticized. Since she proposed letting Yueyao manage the house, she would not leave out Loo Ying. Both were Cousin Miss, and publicly they had to be treated equally, what happened privately was another matter.

Yueyao, without even thinking, refused, saying, "Cousin-in-law, I have not learned about household management. Suddenly taking it on is bound to lead to mistakes."

Zhuang Ruolan chuckled, she knew Yueyao would not accept the suggestion, and she did not insist. As for having Yueyao learn household management from her, that was also temporarily left unsaid. Yueyao hadn’t been in Ma’s Mansion long enough to learn anything significant in just a month, and this matter required a long-term plan.

However, Loo Ying did not decline. Although she had never truly managed a household, Lady Xiao Ma had often taught her, giving her a rich theoretical experience.

Zhuang Ruolan agreed with a smile. Her stay at the Zhuang Family would also only last five days, hardly enough time to cause any major trouble, and with Nanny Hao and several trusted maids like Cai Yun watching, Loo Ying would only handle minor affairs, with major issues being referred back to Ma Peng.

Yueyao was surprised to hear Loo Ying willing to manage the household. She really didn’t understand what Loo Ying was thinking. She hadn’t learned how to manage a household and wouldn’t know how to handle domestic affairs. Although Ma’s Mansion wasn’t very large, with over a hundred people, handling it without experience was sure to lead to problems. However, since Zhuang Ruolan agreed, Yueyao held her tongue.

Xi Yu, however, was happy for Yueyao, "Miss, I think the Eldest Young Madam intends for you to learn about household management." Managing Mansion affairs in Lian Mansion was unthinkable, but now in Ma’s Mansion there was this opportunity, and she was very happy for Yueyao.
