Time Travel: The Noble Family-Chapter 209 - 84 Zhao Chun_3
Chapter 209: Chapter 84: Zhao Chun_3 Chapter 209 -84: Zhao Chun_3 Yueyao smiled and said, “Nanny Deng told me that Zhao Chun has been with father for more than twenty years, not only is he loyal and devoted, but he also has a broad range of experience, which I believe would be perfect for Tingzheng.”
Old Madam naturally agreed with Yueyao, but once Yueyao had left, she started to have her doubts: “This girl, who knows what she’s been doing behind the scenes.” Initially, Yueyao used Hua Lei’s uncle instead of servants used by her son and daughter-in-law, Old Madam sighed at that time, thinking how Yueyao was still young and did not know that it was better to employ those experienced and reliable individuals. Yet unexpectedly, this matter had suddenly enlightened the girl.
Tingzheng felt that having Ah Hai was enough, but since his sister said that this Zhao Chun would be very useful in the future and could help them with many things, he agreed, as long as his sister wouldn’t harm him, that was enough.
Since Zhao Chun was to be Tingzheng’s Attendant, it was natural to ask him first, to avoid any awkwardness of not recognising each other later, especially since Tingzheng did not know Zhao Chun.
Yueyao looked at Zhao Chun, who was kneeling on the ground in a set of green clothes, probably around thirty years old, with somewhat dark skin. Seeing that the siblings were quite calm, without a trace of nervousness: “Servant Zhao Chun pays respect to Third Young Lady, Fourth Young Master.” Zhao Chun was very surprised when the Maid conveyed the message that Third Young Lady wanted to see him, and with the surprise also came hope. Having been with the Second Old Master for over twenty years, he had long been branded with the mark of the second branch, and the main branch would definitely not employ him.
Yueyao, seeing Zhao Chun’s reaction, was very satisfied: “Please rise, Uncle Zhao.”
Zhao Chun, upon hearing Yueyao’s address, was visibly shaken: “Servant cannot bear such a title from the young lady.” A single title could reveal many things, Zhao Chun was certain that the young lady was preparing to use his services.
Yueyao didn’t beat around the bush and directly stated her intention: “Both father and mother have passed away, and now only Tingzheng and I are left in the second branch. Tingzheng will have to uphold the family in the future, but he is young and knows nothing, and needs someone by his side to guide him. I wonder if Uncle Zhao would be willing to stay by Tingzheng’s side and mentor him.”

Zhao Chun didn’t even have to think before responding: “I will definitely do my utmost to protect the young master.” The main branch certainly didn’t hold his future, the second branch was where his opportunities lay. Now that Third Young Lady was willing to use him, this was a chance for him.
Yueyao was very satisfied with Zhao Chun’s response: “Starting tomorrow, you will stay by Tingzheng’s side and guide him more. If he does anything improper, Uncle Zhao, I will need your wise counsel.”
Zhao Chun naturally agreed.
Yueyao nodded towards Tingzheng: “Tingzheng, did you hear what your sister said? If you don’t understand something, ask Uncle Zhao, understand?”
Tingzheng nodded: “Sister, I understand.”
Yueyao watched Zhao Chun’s retreating figure, even though Nanny Deng had said he was faithful and trustworthy, he still needed time to prove it. After Nanny Gu’s betrayal, Yueyao no longer trusted people so easily; only through testing could she know if someone was truly loyal.
Zhao Chun returned home and shared the news with his wife. Zhao Chun’s Wife was worried: “Dear, you know very well what the Eldest Madam is planning. If we follow Third Young Lady and Fourth Young Master, aren’t we going to be opposing the Eldest Madam in the future?”
Granny Hua’s contact with Nanny Gu was supposed to be secret, but Yueyao had covertly allowed word of the matter to spread, and the sharp-minded could sense something fishy about it. Zhao Chun’s Wife naturally understood what the Eldest Madam was up to.
Zhao Chun remembered the unperturbed demeanor of Third Young Lady, who seemed like a completely different person from more than a year ago: “There won’t be any trouble. Third Young Lady is intelligent beyond measure and not so easily fooled.” This was also why he did not hesitate to give his consent based on today’s situation; he believed Third Young Lady would not be deceived by the Eldest Madam.
Zhao Chun’s Wife was not as confident about Yueyao, remembering the reputation she previously had: “Dear, Third Young Lady is clever, but you also know that she has never involved herself in domestic affairs, and I worry…” There was no need to say it, her husband knew what she worried about.
Zhao Chun had harbored the same concerns before when Yueyao spent her days copying scriptures and Fourth Young Master was left neglected in a corner, he worried endlessly; but now he was reassured: “Don’t worry, I have seen the young lady, and she is different from before.”
Zhao Chun’s Wife was somewhat incredulous: “What’s so different?”
Zhao Chun laughed: “Third Young Lady has become shrewd, and you’ll know once you meet her.”
Zhao Chun’s Wife persisted, teasing her husband: “Still beating around the bush with me, come on, tell me what is different about Third Young Lady.”
