Time Travel: The Noble Family-Chapter 558 - 216 Moving Away from Lian Mansion (Part 1)

The maids and old nannies in the Main Courtyard walked tiptoe, not daring to make a sound, afraid of incurring Madam’s wrath and bringing disaster upon themselves.

Bi Se walked lightly on her feet and spoke in a hushed tone, "Madam, Maternal Aunt Su has come."

Lian Dongfang had placed Lady Mo under house arrest, but it was a unilateral restriction, without forbidding Lady Mo from meeting others, which was considered special treatment by the Matriarch.

Lady Mo hurriedly said, "Let Maternal Aunt Su in." She could only consult with Maternal Aunt Su about this matter, as she did not trust anyone else.

Although Maternal Aunt Su had been staying in her room and had not come out, she had more or less guessed what had happened regarding Yueyao’s stomach upset from eating the wrong thing.

Lady Mo briefly explained the situation: "I really didn’t expect it. It’s usually silent, but it turns out to be a dog that doesn’t bark." When it does bark, it’s a lethal move.

After pondering for a long time, Maternal Aunt Su said, "Madam, do you really think Maternal Aunt Bu is the mastermind behind this?" Maternal Aunt Su didn’t believe that Maternal Aunt Bu was the orchestrator; she felt there was someone else behind it, and without knowing the full story, she couldn’t guess who it was.

Lady Mo shook her head, "I’ve thought about it a long time and still can’t understand. Madam Bu has been in the inner house for so many years and has always been so well-behaved. How could she suddenly poison Yueyao?"

Maternal Aunt Su paused. She didn’t think Maternal Aunt Bu would do such a thing for no reason. It was quite possible that Maternal Aunt Bu was seeking revenge.

When Maternal Aunt Bu first arrived at Lian Mansion, she was very favored by Old Master and became pregnant within three months. However, someone sabotaged her, causing Maternal Aunt Bu to have a miscarriage and lose her fertility. Another Maternal Auntie was the one who acted, but the true orchestrator was Madam.

Maternal Aunt Su softly asked, "Madam, what exactly happened? How did the people from Ma’s Mansion come so quickly?"

After thinking for a moment, Lady Mo recounted the events from start to finish. As she spoke, she also realized something was amiss. The people from Ma’s Mansion seemed to have received the news and had caught her completely off-guard.

The more Lady Mo thought about it, the more suspicious she became. When a maid discovers the poison in her master, she first seeks a doctor. Yet, Lanxi Courtyard not only didn’t seek a doctor to save the lady’s life but also sent someone to ask for help from Ma’s Mansion and even had time to interrogate the kitchen maid. All of these pointed to one issue: the maids and old nannies knew that Third Young Lady would not be in mortal danger, or else they wouldn’t have been so calm.

Lady Mo slapped the table in anger, "Detestable". It was truly hateful that they had dug such a big pit for her to fall into when there was actually no problem whatsoever.

Now that Maternal Aunt Su understood what had happened, she too broke out in a cold sweat, "Madam, this matter is no small affair." If Maternal Aunt Bu really wanted to doom Madam to an unrecoverable situation, she wouldn’t have gone easy on Third Young Lady. But now that Third Young Lady was just being tormented a bit and was not in a life-threatening condition, it didn’t make sense. What was even more incomprehensible was that Third Young Lady was poisoned and could have been in danger, but the maids and old nannies were too calm. If Yueyao had truly been in trouble, they wouldn’t have been able to escape the consequences. But they could still block the news while asking for help from the Ma Family.

As Maternal Aunt Su thought through it all, she finally said with a chill, "Madam, I’m afraid the mastermind behind this incident is the very same Third Young Lady who is currently unconscious."

Lady Mo did not react at first: "What did you say?" She had thought of many people but never considered that the mastermind might be Yueyao.

Maternal Aunt Su shared her speculation.

Yet Lady Mo still found it impossible: "Your analysis makes sense, but why would she poison herself? No one jokes with their own life."

However, Maternal Aunt Su felt that Yueyao was the most likely suspect, explaining, "Madam, have you forgotten about that maid next to Third Young Lady? That maid keeps her skills hidden; with her around, Third Young Lady would surely be safe. So, this is likely all an act put on by Third Young Lady."

Lady Mo still found it implausible: "Your analysis is logical, but how could she have won over Maternal Aunt Bu? How could she have gotten the poison to the kitchen maid through Madam Bu? She’s been under our watch all the time, and I am well aware of everything she does." If Yueyao had turned the tables, she might believe it. But she couldn’t believe that Yueyao was the planner behind all this.

Maternal Aunt Su started with suspicions but now was almost certain: "Madam, I don’t know how Third Young Lady arranged it, but I’m sure she staged the whole thing."

After thinking for a bit, Lady Mo then asked, "What do you think she’s aiming to achieve by doing this?"

Maternal Aunt Su shook her head: "Madam, if I’m not mistaken, Third Young Lady is doing this in order to leave the Lian family for the Ma Family under the guise of this incident." Once this comes to light, even Great Master can’t stop it."
