Time Travel: The Noble Family-Chapter 1349 - 552: Wanting (Part 3)

The members of the Lin family are not as naive as Lin Qinghan; Tingzheng was raised by Lian Yueyao. If Lian Yueyao truly decided to make Tingzheng divorce his wife, Tingzheng wouldn’t dare defy her. At that point, there would be no chance for redemption. Unfortunately, Lin Qinghan adamantly refused to agree, leaving everyone in the Lin family thinking she’s gone mad.

Wanting accidentally overheard Lady Lin and Lin Qinghan’s argument, and found out that Yueyao wanted her father to divorce her mother. She was dumbfounded at the time. Wanting wasn’t clear about Yueyao’s affairs; apart from knowing she had such an aunt, she knew nothing else.

Wanting’s personal maid’s parents were family-born servants of the Lian family, and they knew relatively more. It was through her personal maid that Wanting learned that Yueyao’s identity was not simply her father’s biological sister.

Ever since Wanting learned about these matters, she worried incessantly day by day. After much thought, she felt that the root of the issue was with Yueyao. She believed that as long as Yueyao abandoned this idea, her father wouldn’t divorce her mother.

Yueyao said with a cold face, "This is a matter between adults, not something you children can meddle in." It was unclear how Lin Qinghan taught her children.

Wanting burst into tears, "Aunt, I don’t want to become a child without a mother. Aunt, I’m begging you, don’t let my father divorce my mother. Aunt, I’m pleading with you."

Yueyao’s heart quivered; this was indeed what she had always been worried about. If Madam Lin had no children, handling this matter would be much simpler. But Madam Lin had given birth to a child, and if Madam Lin and Tingzheng divorced, this child’s situation would be particularly awkward.

Upon seeing Yueyao’s expression, Xiang Wei knew that Yueyao was softening again: "Madam, just look at what Lin has taught this child to become! Does she have any semblance of a young lady’s demeanor? If she raises her own daughter to be like this, imagine how Brother Xin might turn out in the future!" Xiang Wei wasn’t stirring up trouble; just consider when Kexin was six years old; Wanting couldn’t even compare.

Yueyao steeled herself and said, "This is a matter for adults, not something you children can meddle in. Xiang Wei, have Gu You send her back." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Wanting didn’t want to leave.

Xiang Wei, who was never one to mince words, wasn’t able to pull Wanting along, so she picked her up, intending to carry her out.

Wanting struggled but couldn’t break free, and in a moment of panic, she spoke without thinking: "You can’t break them apart just because you see my father liking my mother. Aunt, this is too cruel."

Upon hearing this, Yueyao’s expression turned very strange. Yueyao believed these words certainly weren’t Wanting’s own invention; most likely they were sayings of Lin Qinghan herself. But what kind of statement was this? What logic was there in suggesting that she disliked her because she saw Tingzheng liked her, and wanted Tingzheng to divorce her?

Kexin, after all, was still young and couldn’t hold back her temper like Yueyao. Seeing Wanting actually slander her mother, she was immediately furious: "Your mother is the spiteful one! I’ve never seen anyone as ungrateful and heartless as your mother." Occupying her things without apologizing and instead acting arrogant. They didn’t go to pursue the matter, yet this person was turning the tables.

Yueyao cast a brief glance at Kexin.

Kexin realized she had spoken too much and quickly lowered her head, pretending to be deeply remorseful. As for her true thoughts, only Kexin herself knew.

Yueyao turned back, her face cold. The Lian family’s reputation had been completely ruined by this mother-daughter pair: "Send Cousin Miss back. Inform the gatekeeper that next time Cousin Miss comes, there’s no need to report to me; send her straight back to the Lian family." This meant Wanting was essentially banned from visiting.

Wanting’s blood rushed up, and she fainted.

Xiang Wei put her down and casually manipulated her body a bit. Wanting quickly opened her eyes, waking up, glaring bitterly at Xiang Wei, and then stared at Yueyao.

Yueyao, too tired to speak further, simply said, "Have the steward lady arrange a carriage to take her back." Seeing Wanting in this state, Yueyao completely lost hope in Madam Lin. If she raised her own daughter to be like this, Brother Xin would only succeed under her guidance unless the sun rises from the west.

Wanting had truly fainted just now, it wasn’t an act. As she was about to speak, Gu You, who was near the door, covered her mouth, preventing her from speaking.

Xiang Wei immediately had Gu You send Wanting back.

With only the mother and daughter left in the room, Kexin was furious, her face flushed red: "Mother, they’ve slandered you like this; we can’t let this go." Daring to call her mother cruel was utterly hateful.

Yueyao said with a stern face, "Wanting is young, speaking without minding her manners can be understandable. But what about you? You’re nine years old, practically an adult now. How can you speak and act so recklessly?" Yueyao didn’t want Kexin to become someone who couldn’t control her temper.
