Time Travel: The Noble Family

Chapter 339: Chapter 121: Conflict Chapter 339: Chapter 121: Conflict The people from Lian Mansion did not arrive that day.

Hua Lei was somewhat worried, but Nanny Hao shook her head and said, “It must be some matter that has delayed them. If the Lian family doesn’t send anything over, it would completely destroy the reputation of Eldest Madam. So you’re worrying over nothing.” If the daughter born of a concubine, Yueyao, went up the mountain to pray for the late Old Madam without receiving anything from Eldest Madam, the spit of others would inundate Eldest Madam.

Just as Nanny Hao had said, the Lian family sent things over the next day.

The steward, seeing Yueyao and Yueying, hurriedly explained the reason for the delay, “Eldest Miss, Third Young Lady, we were supposed to send these items over yesterday, but the Fifth Young Master had a fever and was unconscious for a whole day and night, which is why we had to postpone it until today. We ask for your understanding, Eldest Miss and Third Young Lady.”

Hua Lei, standing to the side, sneered, “It’s a good thing that our Miss was not at the mansion when the Fifth Young Master had a fever, otherwise who knows what kind of blame would have been pinned on our Miss?” The subtext of her words was clear, suggesting had their Young Lady been at the mansion, it surely would have been considered her fault.
