Time Travel: The Noble Family-Chapter 1348 - 552: Wanting (2)
An Zhichen happened to walk to the door and heard Yueyao’s words, smiling, he said:"How can this be left to fate?"
Xiang Wei saw An Zhichen enter the room and immediately withdrew.
Yueyao laughed:"Can you really force such a thing?"
An Zhichen had his reasons for saying this:"Back then we had been married for over half a year, and you said the same when you hadn’t conceived. And what happened? After you prayed to the Goddess of Child-Giving, you became pregnant. We need to pray to the Goddess more, and she will deliver children to us." An Zhichen believed that many children bring much blessing; he wouldn’t mind having three more. However, An Zhichen was also aware that Yueyao’s acceptance of having more children didn’t mean she wanted to keep having them constantly.
Yueyao pursed her lips and smiled:"The Goddess of Child-Giving is very busy right now and has no time to deal with you." Yueyao didn’t reject having more children, but she was recently busy with the painting exhibition, so it wouldn’t be possible for a while.
Yuehuan took Chenghong and Zeng Dazhuang to Hunan. Yueyao and An Zhichen saw them off at the city gate and returned.
An Zhichen didn’t return home with Yueyao but instead took a detour midway to the Yamen. Yueyao took Kexin home.
The Steward Lady was troubled when she saw Yueyao:"Madam, Cousin Miss has arrived and is waiting for you at home!" The Old Master ordered that Madam Lin and the Lin Family not be allowed in, but Cousin Miss was part of the Lian family, so she couldn’t stand in her way.
Upon hearing this, Yueyao’s expression turned sour, she looked at Kexin beside her:"You better return to your courtyard first!" Wanting’s arrival surely meant trouble.
Kexin shook her head:"Mother, I want to go with you to see Cousin Miss!" Kexin was well aware of the issues between Madam Lin and her mother.
Yueyao didn’t want Kexin to get involved in this mess, but Kexin insisted:"Mother, since Cousin Miss has come, how can I avoid seeing her?"
Yueyao ultimately didn’t reject Kexin’s wishes, and upon entering the house, saw Wanting’s outfit, Yueyao felt uneasy.
Wanting was wearing a cross-collared thin gauze narrow-sleeved shirt and a Crescent White Brocade skirt with six blessings. Wanting’s innate condition made her complexion a bit pale, and wearing such an outfit would make people think various things.
People of this era were very particular; wearing all white meant mourning, and visiting someone’s house was not about wearing flashy red or purple, but definitely not too plain. Wanting coming in such attire was very disrespectful.
Yueyao was not angry about the unfortunate connotation of Wanting’s mourning attire but felt Wanting didn’t even understand basic etiquette, and wondered what she learned daily. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Wanting timidly called:"aunt."
Yueyao was somewhat uncomfortable internally but didn’t show it; despite her issues with Madam Lin, it had nothing to do with the child, she wouldn’t vent her anger on Wanting:"Who brought you here? Where’s your mother?"
Wanting felt scared, but one belief supported her:"aunt, my mother went to my maternal grandparents’ home; I was brought here by the steward of the mansion."
Yueyao didn’t expect Wanting to be so bold, she tried to calm her emotions, and asked:"Coming alone, is there something important?"
Wanting looked at the old nanny and maids in the room, clutching her dress hem tightly, saying nothing.
Yueyao felt a lump seeing Wanting like this, ultimately keeping appearances, she dismissed everyone except Kexin and Xiang Wei:"You can speak now."
Once everyone left, Wanting stated her purpose:"aunt, I beg you not to let my father divorce my mother."
Yueyao was stunned.
Kexin’s expression turned dark, what did this mean, when did her mother say her uncle should divorce Madam Lin.?
Yueyao said coldly:"Who told you that nonsense?" She just wanted Tingzheng and Madam Lin to separate, which was fundamentally different from a divorce. Also, apart from An Zhichen and Xiang Wei, no one else knew of this matter.
Wanting heard this and showed joy on her face:"aunt, so what they said is false, you didn’t ask my father to divorce my mother, right?"
The Lin family was already aware that Yueyao and her partner intended for Tingzheng to divorce his wife, otherwise An Zhichen and Yueyao wouldn’t have done such an absolute thing. Lady Lin talked about the severity of this matter with Lin Qinghan, but Lin Qinghan refused to believe it. Eventually, Lin Qinghan firmly told Lady Lin that even if Yueyao indeed had this intention, Tingzheng would definitely not divorce her. Lin Qinghan had this confidence, but no one around her shared it.
