Time Travel: The Noble Family

Chapter 350: Chapter 123: Yueying Descends the Mountain_3

Yueyao said this because she didn’t want Cai Lan to throw dirt on her again when the time came. Although she had no intention of making friends with Yueying, she was unwilling to bear such a reputation. She had to let Yueying know that it was Cai Lan’s insistence on going down the mountain and it had nothing to do with her. As for whether to go back later, that was no longer her concern. If Yueying could see through this, she would send Cai Lan away; if not, and she still chose to rely on her heavily, then truly there would be no cure.

Yueying glanced at Cai Qing and then said, “I understand, third younger sister.”

With a composed expression, Yueyao said, “Well then, Eldest Miss, you should rest well!” Having said that, she turned around and left. Yueyao truly felt she had nothing to say to Yueying.

When Cai Lan returned to the Lian Mansion, she cried all the way from the door to Lady Mo’s presence. Seeing Lady Mo was like finding her own mother, and as she kowtowed and cried, she called out, “Madam, the Eldest Miss is about to die, Madam, please save her! Please, Madam.”

Lady Mo, upon hearing Cai Lan’s words, did not suspect any deception. In this era, a minor typhoid fever could snatch away a life; moreover, being in the mountains with scarce medical supplies, a fever was even likelier to be deadly.

Even though Lady Mo despised Maternal Aunt Chen and disliked Yueying, she dared not bear the burden of such a reputation. She immediately called for a doctor and, together with the steward, went up the mountain, instructing, “Once the Eldest Miss is a little better, bring her back.” Lady Mo didn’t actually want Yueying to return; with Yueying there, she could keep tabs on Yueyao’s daily activities.
