Chapter 321 - Chapter 321 Chapter 117 The Inescapable Yueying_4

Chapter 321: Chapter 117: The Inescapable Yueying_4 Chapter 321: Chapter 117: The Inescapable Yueying_4 Cai Lan stepped forward to testify, “Third Young Lady, this is true. The young lady dreamt last night and upon waking up, she insisted on going to Zhaohua Temple with the Young Lady to pray for Old Madam.”

Maternal Aunt Su looked at Yueying with a complex expression on her face, then glanced back at Yuehuan. In the end, however, she said nothing. It was unclear whether the Eldest Miss insisted on following the Third Young Lady to the mountain because it was Madam’s instruction or because the Eldest Miss wanted to form a good relationship with the Third Young Lady on her own accord.

Yueyao really wanted to roll her eyes. Even the ploy of ‘dreaming of the grandmother’ was used. Honestly, Yueyao didn’t understand why Yueying was so adamant about going with her to the mountain, even going as far as to make up such a lie. Was it really that interesting?

Yueyao looked at Yuebing, who was silent on one side, “Auntie said the day before yesterday to let my second older sister go with me to the mountain to pray for grandmother. If the eldest sister also went, it really wouldn’t fit.”Yueyao suspected that Lady Mo had promised Yueying some benefits to make Yueying refuse to give up. But since Lady Mo had done so, she had to disgust Lady Mo a bit too.

Yuebing was a bit surprised but soon smiled and said, “Since grandmother has sent dreams to the eldest sister, I won’t compete with the eldest sister. However, I will go to the Small Buddhist Hall every day to fast, chant for grandmother, and copy scriptures.”

Yueyao didn’t dwell further on the topic since Yuebing reacted so quickly; it was pointless to say more. Yueyao said to Yueying faintly, “Sister, there are only two main rooms and four side rooms in that courtyard. The main rooms are for the master of the house; we cannot stay there, so we can only stay in the side rooms.” With four side rooms, each person could only average two rooms. Bringing more people would make it crowded.

Yueying thought it would be a struggle, but Yueyao agreed so readily, “Thank you, third younger sister.”

Yueyao sighed slightly, “Sister, I was originally planning to go to the mountain after the morning meal. Since that’s the case, let’s go tomorrow!”

Yueying immediately waved her hand, “No need, no need, I’ll just pack a few clothes.” Besides clothes and quilts, Yueying thought it unnecessary to bring anything else.

Yueyao also felt helpless. Since such words as ‘grandmother sending a dream’ had been said, she would appear unkind if she refused again. Since Yueying wanted to go, let her go. Life on the mountain was not something everyone could adapt to. As long as Yueying didn’t complain then.

Lady Mo smiled slightly, “Tell the eldest girl to go back and pack up. If you lack anything on the mountain, just send someone to send word back, and I’ll have it sent up.”

After the morning meal, Yueyao went back to her courtyard.

Hua Lei was furious. To invoke the deceased Old Madam just to pressure her own young lady was simply despicable. Thankfully, with the lesson from last time, she knew to measure her words and didn’t dare say anything.

Yueyao, however, gently laughed, “If the elder sister wants to go, let her follow.” Yueying had always been pampered; it would be a wonder if she could endure the hardships of mountain life.

Nanny Hao was a bit worried, “Young lady, since the Eldest Miss is going, you should probably inform the young lady. Bringing an extra person without giving notice isn’t good.”

Yueyao nodded, “Hmm, let Xi Juan personally make a trip to explain the situation to the cousin-in-law.” She turned to Nanny Hao and a few others, “There are only four rooms; later, my sister and I could only get two rooms each. It will be a little crowded.”

The three had no objections.

Yueyao added, “Life on the mountain is austere. If you can’t endure hardship, it’s still not too late to back out now.” She wanted to prepare everyone first, as to not lose face by complaining once they were on the mountain.

Hua Lei and Qiao Lan said, “Young lady, don’t worry, we are not afraid of hardship.”

However, Nanny Hao had concerns, “Young lady, perhaps you should inform Fourth Young Master.” Leaving like this might worry Young Master Zheng.

Yueyao smiled slightly. She had already written to Tingzheng about it, asking Tingzheng to visit her on the mountain during his holiday. They would talk then. As for whether Tingzheng would have a room when he arrived, that was not within Yueyao’s considerations.
