Time Travel: The Noble Family-Chapter 1115 - 482: Marital Discord (Part 2)

Yueyao heard that Madam Lin was seeking a meeting outside, she replied with two words: "Not meeting." Because she was concerned about Lin Qinghan’s condition, she didn’t lose her temper at the time, but that didn’t mean she could pretend this matter hadn’t happened.

Yueyao actually had a clear grasp of the situation between Tingzheng and Lin Qinghan, after all, rumors are hard to avoid hearing. The two have been married for over a year, often quarreling, mostly because Tingzheng was too good to her, making Lin Qinghan uncomfortable inside. Not mentioning Lin Qinghan’s side, even Madam Lin felt Tingzheng was marrying above his station by marrying Lin Qinghan, thus showing him disregard. Tingzheng willingly put up with it, with nothing to say. But expecting her to swallow this anger, the Lin Family was not quite qualified.

Yueyao didn’t dwell on issues with Lin Qinghan before, not because she feared the Lin Family, nor because her heart was exceptionally broad, but rather she felt it unworthy to waste time on such trifles.

Xiang Wei sneered: "Gu You, go tell the gatekeeper that, from now on, the Lin Family doesn’t need to be notified if they come; just refuse them." Even if the Lin Family has someone as the Deputy Commander of the Imperial Forest Army, so what? Do they really think they scare us?

Yueyao called Xi Yu over, saying: "In the future, cut off interactions with that side. I don’t want to know about matters from there either."

Xiang Wei frowned: "Doing this, wouldn’t it look like we’re weakening?"

Yueyao had her considerations: "I don’t want to hear about things from that side anymore, it’s upsetting. With this time, I’d rather read more books or paint a picture." Before, Yueyao felt the two weren’t compatible, and if appearances were kept, it would be enough. But after this incident, Yueyao felt there’s no need to keep appearances, and directly listed Lin Qinghan as a household to refuse interaction with, so as to avoid affecting her mood.

Xiang Wei had nothing but admiration for Yueyao.

Madam Lin knew Yueyao would be angry, but she didn’t expect Yueyao would directly shut her out, not even letting her in the door. Madam Lin has been in Capital City for so many years, yet she never suffered such humiliation. Madam Lin turned ashen and said: "Let’s go back." No matter how angry, this issue had to be resolved, otherwise her daughter would end up suffering.

The next day, Xiang Wei went to the pastry shop and heard rumors swirling outside about Yueyao. She didn’t manage the shop but went to investigate who was spreading these rumors.

Yueyao saw Xiang Wei’s face full of anger, quickly asking, "What happened? Is there some problem with the shop?" Clearly, it wasn’t good news.

Xiang Wei relayed the rumors outside to Yueyao. The rumors outside differed somewhat from the actual events. They said Yueyao took advantage of Lin Qinghan’s pregnancy to send a beautiful maid to Tingzheng. Tingzheng, with love strong as gold for Lin Qinghan, refused this maid, but the maid climbed into the bed while Tingzheng was drunk, causing Lin Qinghan to be so angered she was emotionally distraught. After such an incident, Yueyao not only refused to apologize but instead threw a tantrum, forcing Tingzheng to kneel down and apologize.

Yueyao, upon hearing this, smiled and said: "They should make up a darker version of me, that way the people of Capital City would love it even more." Yueyao had long been immune to such rumors.

Seeing Yueyao’s expression, Xiang Wei also laughed: "I know you’re broad-hearted. When I heard this rumor, I went to investigate, and ended up finding out that it was spread by people around Lin Qinghan. What do you think, Lin Qinghan’s hatred for you has seeped into her bones, hasn’t it?" Xiang Wei’s words were actually lightly teasing, she was quite certain this matter had nothing to do with Lin Qinghan. Even if Lin Qinghan hated Yueyao to her core, her top priority now should be ensuring the safety of her pregnancy, not doing these things.

Yueyao dismissively said: "Don’t investigate anymore. I heard the winters in the Northwest are particularly cold, it’s already July now, we need to prepare winter clothes for Heyue." It takes over two months to travel from Capital City to Northwest, so at the latest, items must be sent by the end of August, just in time for Heyue to wear them upon arrival.

Xiang Wei laughed: "Yes, that’s the real concern. Those are all trifles." Thinking a few rumors could hurt her master, Mu Qinglian indeed underestimated her.

Yueyao was somewhat dissatisfied with Xiang Wei’s habit of often speaking crudely: "In the past, it was fine, but now there are children! If the child learns from you, I won’t forgive you."

Xiang Wei laughed heartily.

Yueyao didn’t care about the rumors outside, but someone did. Zhuang Ruolan heard the outside rumors and immediately came to inquire about what was really going on from Yueyao. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Zhuang Ruolan, upon hearing the story in full, was speechless: "Has Madam Lin gone mad? Is this something you can casually say?" Zhuang Ruolan absolutely didn’t believe the rumors outside, but she thought there must be something to it since there’s no smoke without fire. However, the discrepancy between the rumors and the facts was just too great.
