Madam Tang suppressed the anger in her heart, no longer continuing the topic. She knew very well that to continue would only provoke Ma Yue. So things can’t be rushed but must be addressed gradually.
After Ma Yue left, Madam Tang sat at the bedside deep in thought. The examinations were coming around again in March, and if her husband failed to attain the rank of Scholar again, they should ask her father-in-law to buy him a title.
When Tingzheng returned to Li Mansion, Li Han imdiately noticed sothing was off. After persistent questioning from Li Han, Tingzheng eventually told him everything he knew. Li Han was furious, "To think there are such malicious people."
Once Li Han was aware, Lady Li and Li Guoxing quickly learned of it as well. Lady Li sighed softly, "Ah, that child’s life is truly difficult." She was not Tingzheng after all; she naturally understood the trickery involved, and the mastermind behind it all was surely Lady Mo.
Li Guoxing only uttered two words, "Shaless." To commit such cruel acts for the sake of re wealth was utterly despicable.
Seeing her husband angry, Lady Li hurried to comfort him, "Yueyao has now left the Lian Mansion for good, staying long term at Ma’s Mansion, which is like escaping the wolf’s den. Given the circumstances, she definitely won’t return before she’s married, and in the future, I will be able to visit the child more often."
Li Guoxing nodded slightly, "Brother Ma is also very fond of Yueyao. In Ma’s Mansion, this child will no longer be mistreated. If Ziming knew his children were being treated this way, he would not rest in peace. "It is indeed terribly unlucky for the two children to be without parents and to encounter such unscrupulous uncles and aunts.
Lady Li, however, felt that the two children’s fate was not so bad, with the Ma Family and their own family supporting them; the children had not suffered much after all. To be precise, Tingzheng had not suffered much.
Li Guoxing also knew he couldn’t intervene in this matter, so getting angry was pointless, "Since Yueyao has moved to Ma’s Mansion, we can look after her sowhat. She has suffered so much; go to the storeroom and choose so dicinal herbs and tonics to send over."
Lady Li was not stingy and said with a smile, "I’ve already given the orders."
The next day after breakfast, Lady Li went to Ma’s Mansion. Upon arriving at the Begonia Garden and seeing Yueyao, she looked at her with a face full of pity, "We’re all aware of what you’ve been through; you’ve had a tough ti." It was close to costing her life, yet the real culprit remains at large, free from bla—the injustice was palpable.
Yueyao shook her head, "Auntie, I’m not wronged. It’s quite good here in Ma’s Mansion."
Lady Li stroked Yueyao’s face, thinking how heartbroken her parents would have been. She couldn’t understand how Lady Mo, also from an official’s family, having children herself, could be so brazen and heartless for so money, willing to harm such a young child.
Lady Li talked with Yueyao for quite a while before leaving. After she left, Xi Yu said, "Miss, Lady Li has sent a lot of dicinal herbs and tonics." The gift was rather generous.
Yueyao didn’t reply. Their brother and sister owed the Li family so much; she didn’t know if they could ever repay such kindness in this lifeti.
Xiang Wei said with a smile, "Overthinking isn’t a good thing. If the Li family expected you to repay this favor, they wouldn’t have treated you and your brother soo well. Just rember the favor deeply, and there will always be a chance to return it soday." Xiang Wei couldn’t help but admire Li Guoxing for his integrity; to extent such care to his old friend’s children was truly comndable.
Yueyao nodded slightly, "Mhm."
During lunch, Cai Yun ca with good news.
When Yueyao heard that Zhuang Ruolan was pregnant, she wasn’t overjoyed but was very concerned instead, asking, "My sister-in-law has been working hard because of these past few days; won’t it affect the child?" If it did, she would feel guilty for a lifeti.
Cai Yun said with a smile, "The doctor said it’s fine, the baby is healthy. But she needs to rest more from now on." There was certainly an impact, but it was not harmful.
Yueyao felt so guilt, "It’s all because of that my sister-in-law beca tired."
Cai Yun laughed, "The young lady was worried you might overthink, so she specially sent to tell you. Don’t worry, miss; the doctor has already said it’s fine. It’s just that the young lady has too many affairs to manage daily in the mansion, so Elder Zhang suggested that she should rest more."
As Cai Yun was speaking, another person ca in to report that Madam Tang was also pregnant. They both were about a month along.
Yueyao was surprised, a pregnancy pileup?
Nanny Deng said with a beaming smile, "Miss, now that you have co, both the Eldest Young Madam and the Second Young Madam have beco pregnant. With such good fortune, our miss is clearly blessed. Who would dare say our miss horoscope is bad now?" Miss’s arrival at Ma’s Mansion had brought joy, proving that she carried fortune with her.
Yueyao chuckled. It was just a coincidence; it wasn’t about being lucky.
Zhuang Ruolan, hearing Nanny Deng say Yueyao was a bringer of luck, actually agreed with the idea. Although she didn’t know the specifics, she once overheard her husband ntion that his success today was thanks to Yueyao and her aunt. She didn’t delve deeper, but she understood there must be more to the story. Plus, Yueyao had brought her wealth; it was hard to say she wasn’t a Lucky Star: "Yueyao truly is our Lucky Star." She said no more.
Zhuang Ruolan and Cai Yun and Cai Yi had long since ford an understanding; knowing Zhuang Ruolan’s intent, Cai Yun quietly ordered the maids and old nannies to spread the word throughout the mansion.
Soon, the notion that Yueyao was a person of fortune spread throughout Ma’s Mansion. There were clear signs; no sooner had the Second Young Lady arrived than she brought luck, leading both young madams to conceive.
Ma Chengteng had long considered Yueyao to be Ma Family’s Lucky Star; without Yueyao, the Ma Family would not have achieved what they did today. Hearing the rumor, he imdiately gifted his most treasured set of the Four Treasures of the Study. This set handed down from his ancestors was of considerable value.
Ma Peng followed by giving a set of precious painting materials.
When the heads of the household decide on the direction of the household’s spirit, with both the current and future heads of the household agreeing on the sentint, the wind naturally blows stronger.
