Time Travel: The Noble Family-Chapter 497 - 185 Unfit_3

Nanny Wang, however, grew suspicious of the maid that Yueyao brought back, muttering to herself, "The Third Young Lady is not a reckless person, so why would she bring someone from Marquis Jingning’s residence back home?" Nanny Wang felt there was something dubious about Xiang Wei’s identity; it was impossible for Marquis Jingning’s Residence to send a maid over to the Third Young Lady without any reason.

Yuebing didn’t think too much about it. Yuebing’s thoughts were simple: even if they were not simple, after all, she was just a maid. What upheaval could she possibly cause? To reassure Nanny Wang, Yuebing said, "We’ll find out once we meet this person tomorrow."

Nanny Wang shook her head, "Miss, it’s still better to ask Madam to send someone to check this girl’s background." The emergence of an unknown individual from the rival’s side was a very dangerous matter.

Yuebing nodded, "Alright."

Early the next morning, Yueyao went to the main house to pay her respects to Lady Mo. Yueyao’s visit to Lady Mo was to secure her permission to go out. Having been away from the Capital City for more than two months, she definitely needed to make a visit to Ma’s Mansion and Li Mansion upon her return.

When Yueyao arrived at the main house, there was already no one there.

Lady Mo was also quite surprised by Yueyao’s visit, and upon hearing Yueyao’s request, she said, "The Double Ninth Festival is in two days; it won’t be late if you wait to go to Ma’s Mansion after the festival."

Ma’s Mansion’s cloth shop was thriving with business, and there were few in the Capital City who didn’t know of it. With the business doing so well, naturally, others coveted the secret recipe. However, once the news that Duke Mansion and Marquis Jingning had stakes in it spread, no one dared to covet the recipe any longer. These people were not fools; if they used underhand methods to obtain the recipe and offended these two powerful entities, it would not be worth it.

Seeing that Lady Mo didn’t stop her, Yueyao was somewhat surprised. But then, thinking it over, she realized that Lady Mo probably knew she couldn’t stop her, so she simply let go.

Just as Yueyao returned to Lanxi Courtyard, Hua Lei came over and said, "Miss, the Eldest Miss, Second Young Lady, and Fourth Miss have come to see you."

Yuebing and Yueying were all waiting in the living room for Yueyao.

Yueying and Yuebing were both taken aback by Yueyao’s appearance.

Yuehuan however asked with great interest, "Third sister, how did you get so tanned?" Yuehuan wasn’t sure if it was just her impression, but she felt that Yueyao didn’t seem to care much about her appearance. Which lady wouldn’t cherish her own beauty? She found it strange that Yueyao didn’t seem to mind her appearance.

Yuehuan’s intuition was accurate; Yueyao indeed didn’t care much about her appearance anymore. To Yueyao, physical beauty was rather a burden; otherwise, she wouldn’t have caught Zhou Shu’s eye in her past life. Of course, in her past life, she was driven to despair and didn’t want to live, which was why she disfigured herself. This lifetime, as long as Yueyao was well, she wouldn’t cut her face.

Hua Lei glanced at Yuehuan, their lady was just a bit darker than when she had left, she would get fair again after not being in the sun for a while; was there a need for the Fourth Miss to exaggerate so much? Hua Lei instinctively found Yuehuan very annoying, fearing that others wouldn’t know about her own radiant appearance.

Yuebing too looked at Yueyao with a strange expression. A lady’s appearance was so important; if it were her who had gotten tanned like this... well, Yuebing shook off that thought.

Yueyao smiled and said, "I often climbed mountains and admired the scenery while on the mountain, so I got a bit tanned." She definitively didn’t mention things like sketching from nature.

To this explanation, Yueying and Yuebing expressed their inability to understand. Yuehuan, however, looked at Yueyao with a face full of surprise, wondering if her third sister was also an outdoor sports enthusiast.

Yueying interjected, "Third younger sister, I heard you’ve employed an embroideress; she must possess exceptional skills to have caught your attention, right?" Yueying’s embroidery skills were the best among the four, as she spent all her leisure time in the past on embroidery. She was very interested in the news about Yueyao employing an embroideress.

Yueyao had not seen Xiang Wei’s embroidery skills, but if Bai Yi said they were good, then they certainly weren’t bad. Yueyao cautiously said, "I wouldn’t say her skills are extraordinary, but they are more than enough to guide me."

Yueying hastily asked, "Third younger sister, is her level higher than Mr. Mah’s?"

Yueyao shook her head, "Embroidery Lady Mah specializes in Su embroidery, while Xiang Wei specializes in Beijing embroidery; the styles are different, so they’re not comparable."

Yuebing said with a smile, "Third sister, now that you’ve found such an outstanding embroideress, you can’t keep her to yourself. You should let her teach us too." Yuebing’s words carried a hint that Yueyao’s actions were not considerate of her sisters.

Although Yueyao always told herself to change, her nature was still that of someone who held herself in high esteem, with a less accommodating temperament and who couldn’t bear grievances.

Upon hearing this, the smile faded from Yueyao’s face, and she said indifferently, "She made it clear to Mingzhu that day, she will only instruct me and can’t teach anyone else." Yueyao didn’t even contemplate the idea of having Xiang Wei meet them.

When Yuebing saw Yueyao snubbing her, she felt uncomfortable inside. No one in Lian Mansion had dared to snub her like this, but the learning she had undergone over time helped her control her emotions, so she refrained from speaking.

It was Yuehuan’s turn to enter the fray again, "Third sister, I heard that this embroideress is very beautiful. Can we meet her?"

Yueyao glanced at Yuehuan, her tone growing more impatient, "She’s not feeling well. If you want to meet her, wait until next time!"

Upon hearing this, Yuehuan bowed her head, showing the sense of grievance she felt just then. In reality, Yuehuan thought to herself, if only she had that kind of confidence, how wonderful that would be.
