Time Travel: The Noble Family-Chapter 559 - 216 Moving Out of Lian Mansion (Part 1)_2

Maternal Aunt Su secretly felt alarmed. Though the Third Young Lady appeared indifferent to competing with them, always seeming to avoid conflict, in reality, she had been plotting all along. Yet they still thought they had everything under control until they ended up completely defeated in the end.

Upon receiving the news from the Servant Woman that Lian Dongfang had agreed to Ma Chengteng’s request for Yueyao to stay long-term at Ma’s Mansion, Lady Mo understood everything and furiously said, "This cursed girl actually framed me like this, I will not let her off easily! No, I must tell the Old Master and make him forbid her from leaving." If Yueyao left Lian Mansion, she would no longer be able to seek revenge for the current slander, moreover, a large amount of money would no longer have anything to do with her.

Maternal Aunt Su shook her head and said, "Madam, we have no proof, and we’ve also lost the initiative. If you now go and tell Old Master about this, it will only irritate him further." Who would believe now that this was all a play directed and acted by the Third Young Lady herself? Far from believing it, it would likely cause Ma Family to break ties with Lian Family; if it came to tearing off faces, Madam would be the one who suffers.

Lady Mo’s face contorted with anger: "Are we just supposed to let this go?"

How else could it be handled if not let go? There was no turning back in this matter, they had to reluctantly accept it. Maternal Aunt Su sighed deeply and said, "Madam, for now, this is the only way. We can plot further in the future. The more we do now, the more mistakes we make." Ma Chengteng had already fixed his belief that Madam was the chief culprit. Ma Chengteng had held back from making a bigger issue due to some reservations, but if Madam did anything more, a real falling out was likely. If that happened, Madam would truly have to be sent to the Nunnery.

Lady Mo passed out from sheer anger.

Yueyao awakened in the evening and as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Zhuang Ruolan. Yueyao truly suffered greatly this time, nearly losing her life in the ordeal. Upon awakening, her throat was dry and she was too weak to lift her hand, feebly calling out, "Water..."

Zhuang Ruolan hadn’t reacted yet, but Xiang Wei, more perceptive than most, heard Yueyao’s soft murmur. Xiang Wei quickly said, "Young Lady has woken up, bring some water quickly, she wants to drink."

As Zhuang Ruolan saw Yueyao waking up, a weight lifted from her heart. Seeing Yueyao struggling to speak, Zhuang Ruolan softly said, "Don’t rush, we can talk after you’ve recovered." She took the water Xi Yu brought over and carefully helped Yueyao drink it.

Upon hearing that Yueyao had woken up, Ma Chengteng also rushed in. Seeing Yueyao truly awake, he joyfully exclaimed, "Yueyao, you’ve awakened! It’s good that you awoke."

Yueyao looked at Ma Chengteng, tears streaming down.

Ma Chengteng quickly soothed, "Don’t cry, this time Uncle Master will surely seek justice for you. Just rest well now and don’t think too much."

Yueyao nodded slightly, drank her medicine, and then drifted back to sleep.

Lady Mo was confined and couldn’t leave the courtyard.

Yueying, Yuebing, and Yuehuan heard about Yueyao awakening and all hurried to visit her. However, they were stopped outside by Xi Yu. Xi Yu said, "Young Ladies, our young lady just took her medicine and has gone back to sleep, now she shouldn’t see anyone." Even if the young lady could see anyone, she wouldn’t dare let the three in.

Yuebing, not fully aware of the situation, noticed the maids and old nannies in Lanxi Courtyard packing up things and sensed something was off. Pretending to be puzzled, Yuebing asked, "Why are the maids in the courtyard packing up things?"

Nanny Hao didn’t conceal the truth and said, "In a couple of days, our young lady is going to live at Ma’s Mansion, so we are tidying up the courtyard now." This time it was a big move, not just a stay of a few months. Except for the bulky items hard to move, all the valuable items were being taken.

Yuebing gave Yuehuan a look, hoping Yuehuan would ask further. But Yuehuan kept her head lowered all this while, seemingly preoccupied and totally missing the cue from Yuebing.

Since no one else would, Yuebing had no choice but to step in and ask, "Sister Yueyao has just woken up, how can she possibly go to Ma’s Mansion?" Yuebing also sensed something shady about the arrangement, but under these circumstances, sending Yueyao to Ma’s Mansion would certainly stir up gossip.

Unexpectedly, Yueying blurted out, "Mom, does dad know about this?"

With a poker face, Nanny Hao replied, "Great Master has already agreed." Nanny Hao was terrified by Lady Mo’s ruthless scheming. Previously, Old Madam was just worried that Lady Mo might plot against Yueyao’s fortune, but she never imagined that for money, Lady Mo would actually attempt the life of the Third Young Lady. If the Third Young Lady stayed in Lian Mansion longer, those following her would have bad outcomes. This transfer to Ma’s Mansion was extremely beneficial to the young lady.

With the young lady moving to Ma’s Mansion for a long stay, Nanny Hao felt a sigh of relief inside. Her granddaughter Xiao Tao had been sent to the countryside manor by the young lady, and she continuously worried about her. Once settled in Ma’s Mansion, she planned to ask the young lady to bring Xiao Tao over, so that grandmother and granddaughter could be together every day.

Yuehuan lowered her head, feeling that something was off upon hearing the news. How could someone in good health suddenly ingest something harmful? Clearly, there was more to it.

Yuebing found it unbelievable, "Yueyao is so weak right now, how can she travel by carriage? That will just exacerbate her illness."

If anyone else had spoken those words, it might have seemed genuine concern, but coming from Lady Mo’s own daughter, Xi Yu couldn’t help but feel a cold disdain as if she had swallowed a fly. She didn’t believe the Second Young Lady would be ignorant of the facts. Knowing yet saying such things showed how deceitful she was, like mother like daughter indeed. It was time to leave the Lian Family.

Nanny Hao, who was kinder by nature, said, "Second Young Lady, Uncle Master is more concerned about our young lady than anyone. The Old Master has his own measures in this matter."
