Time Travel: The Noble Family

Chapter 111: Chapter 50: Nanny, Sir

The nurturing nanny had arrived.

Yueying was delighted to learn that the nurturing nanny had come. She was twelve this year and had reached the age for talking about marriage. If she learned good manners from the nanny, she would be able to secure a good match when the time came.

Yuebing was the first to receive the news. She had been worried about this matter recently. She knew very well the reputation of the nurturing nanny. Thinking of the nanny’s methods, Yuebing felt uneasy. She still didn’t know what kind of ordeal she was going to be put through!

Yuehuan also began to worry that she would embarrass herself when the time came because she knew nothing and could do nothing. Learning alongside Yueyao, Yuehuan felt a lot of pressure.

Maternal Aunt Su wasn’t aware of Yuehuan’s concerns. She thought it was a great opportunity, “Fourth Miss, it is said that the nanny once taught princesses in the imperial palace. Miss, you must learn well from the nanny so you can also secure a good marriage match.”

However, Yuehuan inwardly sneered. She was only eight years old, for goodness’ sake, let’s not talk about marriage all the time. Marriage was still a matter for a decade later. But when Yueyao thought of how women here generally married at fifteen or sixteen, her heart sank. If that was the case, she might have to marry in just seven or eight years. Thinking about this, Yuehuan was extremely frustrated. But to resist, and considering society was like this, it was impossible for her to go against the whole society. The only thing she could do was change herself to fit into this society.

Ah, Yuehuan sighed deeply. Whoever said going back to ancient times was great, if anyone thought so, she would rather give up this opportunity.

The only one who remained unfazed was Yueyao. Regarding the nurturing nanny, she adopted a serious attitude toward learning. No matter what, she had to make up for the regrets of her past life.

The next morning, Yueyao was woken up early. Today, the nurturing nanny was coming, and naturally, she had to first go to Old Madam’s place.

When Yueyao reached the entrance, she encountered Yuehuan. If it weren’t for that last time Yuehuan had borrowed a book from her, she wouldn’t have paid attention to Yuehuan’s situation. After that incident, Yueyao went back and asked Hua Lei. Only then did she learn that Yuehuan had already recognized all the people in the mansion and was learning things especially quickly, almost never forgetting anything she saw.

Yueyao wasn’t clear about who exactly had possessed Yuehuan, but one thing was certain: it was definitely adult thinking. However, based on her behavior, Yueyao felt that Yuehuan was also a person with pure thoughts. Therefore, she didn’t have the intention to expose Yuehuan and only instinctively rejected an outsider. Thus, she didn’t want too much contact with Yuehuan.

When Yuehuan saw Yueyao, she was very happy, “Third Sister.”

Yueyao gave her a slight smile, “Little Sister arrived so early.” While saying this, she subtly maintained a certain distance from Yuehuan.

Yuehuan noticed Yueyao’s action and confirmed that Yueyao did not like her. Yuehuan was extremely puzzled by Yueyao’s attitude, but she kept her speculations to herself. During these days, she was afraid that people would notice anything different about her, so she had been remaining silent. After listening to Maternal Aunt Su’s admonitions, she even pretended to be shy and taciturn. With Maternal Aunt Su’s support, everyone really wasn’t suspicious of her. But no matter how she pretended, her nature was hard to change. Someone cheerful couldn’t pretend to be depressed. It worked for a day or two, but over a longer period, she couldn’t bear it. Therefore, she was particularly eager to get close to Yueyao, even if Maternal Aunt Su’s warnings were useless.

Yueyao ignored Yuehuan’s thoughts and went into the room by herself.

Yuehuan watched Yueyao go with mixed feelings. She really liked Yueyao; looking at Yueyao just made her feel pleasant. This was a true model of nobility! Ah, if only she weren’t so aloof.

Hong Mei nudged Yuehuan, who then came back to her senses. She let out a soft sigh and also went into the room. Take it slow, no need to rush.

As the two entered, they discovered Yuebing was already there waiting. This was unprecedented, as regardless of Yueyao’s longer travel route, in the past Yuebing was always the last to come for these gatherings. Her being so early today was as unexpected as the sun rising from the west.

Yueyao’s eyes twinkled, but she said nothing.

Old Madam looked at Yueyao and Yuehuan with joy as they bowed, then she said, “Take a seat! The nurturing nanny and the female teacher will be here any moment.”

Yueyao was somewhat surprised, “Grandmother, wasn’t it just the nurturing nanny? Why is there also a teacher?” In her past life, the Lian Mansion had employed several female teachers to train them in Guqin, Chess, Calligraphy, Painting, Poetry, and Songs, but that was after her grandmother’s mourning period had ended. It was those female teachers who guided her to immerse herself fully in these arts.
