"This servant doesn't know what her mistake was!"

Normally, when a servant saw her master angry, she would have to be extremely careful and admit her mistake, no matter where she went wrong.

The woman, on the other hand, did not act normally. With a flushed face, she straightened her back and glared fiercely at Miss Wen.

"I really wonder how Second Aunt Fu can allow someone like you to stay by my side!" Miss Wen looked coldly at the wet nurse kneeling on the ground like a pine tree. "I don't know when our Wen Family made such a rule. Since when did we have a rule where the masters and servants interjected?"

I looked thoughtfully at Wen Chengzu, who was obediently lying in Miss Wen's embrace.

A child four or five years old who was brought up by a wet nurse should be very close to the wet nurse. Why would the child prefer to stay in the arms of a new sister he doesn't know very well rather than say a word for the wet nurse?

Looking at the boy with the delicate face and nimble eyes, she suddenly felt a sense of secrecy.

On one side was his wet nurse who came with him from home, and on the other was his elder sister in name. This child had understood the principle of giving up and being dependent on so early on!

I secretly sighed, I'm afraid that the Wen family's heir is not that simple!

He didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse for such an intelligent child to come to the Wen family.

"You must be joking!"

After instructing the servants to drag away the babysitter who had said such outrageous words, Miss Wen apologised to me tiredly.

"Sister, there's no need to be polite with me!" I watched Miss Wen kiss Wen Chengzu's cheek before putting him on the ground and pulling her hand away.

After finding a pavilion, Miss Wen kindly coaxed Wen Chengzu for a while, then broke off a few snacks for him to eat. She repeatedly reminded the head maid beside Wen Chengzu to take good care of the young master, then instructed Qiu Yu to accompany the person beside Wen Chengzu to send him back to the study.

Not long after, Qiu Yu came back and said that she had already sent Wen Chengzu back. After a few sentences of reprimand from the teacher, she continued teaching.

The invisible Miss Wen sighed inwardly.

At this moment, Madame Wen had still not appeared.

"It's almost noon. When the sun comes out and makes people feel bad, let's go to my room!" Miss Wen smiled as she asked for my opinion. There was a faint sense of exhaustion between her brows.

I smiled and nodded as I looked at the carved octagonal pavilion, the luxuriant garden, the trees that blotted out the sun, and the colorful flowers that were so tender and beautiful that they could drip at any moment.

I'm afraid you're not in the mood to walk around the garden!

"Send over a sedan chair!" Miss Wen slightly lifted her coat and took off a palm-sized wooden plate from her waist. It impressively read "A".

It seemed like Miss Wen was now in charge of the government affairs.

Miss Wen personally helped me onto the sedan chair. With a worried expression, she sat opposite me and rubbed the white silk handkerchief in her hand.

"Where's Lady Wen?"

The two of us sat opposite each other without saying a word. It was awkward.

"Don't ask, I'll tell you later!" Miss Wen glanced outside the palanquin, but the meaning within it made one ponder deeply.

I faintly smiled and picked up some stories about the romance and the moon to chat with Miss Wen.

After stopping the son, Miss Wen personally helped me off the palanquin with a solemn expression on her face.

Green bricks covered the ground, pine and cypress were planted all over the hall.

Is this Miss Wen's residence?

It was too heavy and dignified!

There was a strong herbal smell near the main entrance. Most of the servants were a bit old, with solemn faces. They knelt and saluted Miss Wen with cold faces, but their expressions were filled with arrogance.

In the center of the main hall, there was a screen for a hundred years old, with a pair of Song officials' hats and chairs in front. In the middle of the screen, there was a long table with a golden toad collection basin filled with copper coins. In front of him was a row of clear lacquer chairs, imitating the Song Dynasty's style, all the way to the door. The top of the chairs was covered with a green stone cushion, embroidered with the red embroidery of blessings and blessings.

The decorations of the Wen family... This was truly a mutual appreciation of the beauty of the world!

Miss Wen picked up the last armchair and sat down, and I sat with her at the bottom.

No one served tea, no one served tea.

A woman with a golden hairpin and a bun came out from the back of the hall after a while. She greeted him with a smile, "Nian Qiu, you've come!"

"Aunt Fu, this is Miss Yang." Miss Wen came up to help me up, and said in a polite and estranged manner: "I brought her to meet my grandmother."

Wen Chengzu's mother was actually in the Wen family!

She was still treating Old Lady Wen after all.

Where is Mrs. Wen?

One had to know that this was a woman's greatest taboo!

"What a coincidence!" Second Young Madam Fu had a sweet smile on her face, but her eyes were exceptionally nimble. "Aunt just fell asleep!"

"Then we won't disturb Grandmother's rest any longer!" Miss Wen didn't think much of it. After exchanging a few pleasantries with Second Young Madam Fu, she pulled me out of the Serenity Hall.

"Come, let's go back to my yard!" After getting on the palanquin, Miss Wen took a deep breath with a faint smile on her face.

In just two or three sentences, they had arrived at Miss Wen's courtyard.

Was it because he had to pass through the Madame Wen's courtyard in order to return to his own courtyard that he had to go there and take a walk?

"Let's go to the pavilion, it's cooler near the water!" While holding my hand, Miss Wen ordered the people beside her, "I want to speak a few words with Miss Yang. You may leave!"

The maidservants answered in unison, as they were all slightly shorter than the rest.

Although some of it was gone, there was still a pile of it following Miss Wen.

Seeing the helpless look on Miss Wen's face, he knew that it wasn't just a day or two.

There wasn't even a door in the thatched roof. I knew what Miss Wen meant when I saw what she meant by a pavilion.

She called me to Wen Fu just to make fun of me!

Or else he wouldn't have found a place to entertain me.

"Just follow me in!" Miss Wen ordered impatiently behind him.

"Green Cock, follow me. Lan Lan will accompany Mother Song for a meal!" I smiled at the three men who had come with me.

"Go get a table of wine and food to entertain the guests!" Miss Wen pointed to a short, stocky mother with a shrewd expression.

That mother was absolutely delighted, nodding and bowing as she invited Lan Li to accompany her mother.

Autumn Rain and Green Bandits followed Miss Wen and me into the pavilion. The rest of the servants were standing outside the pavilion, under the bright sun.

"The sun will catch heat!" I held a cup of white lotus tea personally made by Miss Wen and looked at the sweating servants with a smile.

"What's the matter?" Miss Wen smiled faintly: "They are just some of my grandmother's or rich second granny's spies. If they fall, we can just change them for another batch."

I couldn't help but laugh and feel sorry for those servants. They really took on a difficult job!

"I heard that the Jiang Clan wants to propose to your clan?"

I never thought that the first question Miss Wen asked would be like this. I couldn't find the right response for a long time.

Did everyone already know about this?

"How did sister know about this?"

The meaning behind his words was to admit it.

Miss Wen's fair face turned red. She smiled gracefully and poured another cup of tea into my cup.

"My mother had originally wanted Sir Jiang very much. She wanted to make this marriage with the Jiang family, but was rejected immediately by Madame Jiang. My mother's heart was stifled, so she paid extra attention to Sir Jiang's marriage …"

No wonder Miss Wen was blushing.

"Is there anything sister wants to tell me?"

I was wondering if Miss Wen discovered that there was something wrong with Young Master Jiang when she called me over in such a hurry. She was afraid that our family would agree to marry me and suffer a loss.

"No, no!" Miss Wen looked at me with a smile. She said with a mocking expression, "I just want to know if there is such a thing!"

How about this? So what if he didn't?

Miss Wen was someone who was engaged to be married. She had heard that she was marrying into the Su Clan, which was a business for the inner palace.

One had to know that there was a saying that went around saying "ten lines of nine Su's". It could be seen just how different the Su Clan was.

I stared at Miss Wen with a strange expression.

"Don't misunderstand!" Miss Wen looked at my eyes and two red clouds flew across her face. She looked at me with a very honest expression:

"At that time, I was only 12 years old. When I heard that my mother wanted to marry me to him and knew that he came to visit, I secretly changed into the servant's clothes to walk around the outer court." He was standing in front of my father and bowing. He was fourteen years old, as tall and as short as my father, and his face was prettier than a girl's. Let me see how this works! Taking my servant girl back to my mother's courtyard, I said that I was unwilling to marry him no matter what! "

At the end, Miss Wen giggled, as if she had returned to that carefree age.

I let out a long breath, relieved.

"Why can't I marry him?" I took the apricot from Miss Wen and played with it in my hand.

"In the future when I'm with him, he'll be even prettier than me. Wouldn't I be laughed at by others!?" Miss Wen knitted her brows as she looked at me with an innocent smile. "Now that you want to marry him, I want to see how you and your husband will make a joke of each other!"

Whether it was Grandmother, the Jiang sisters, or Miss Wen, they all praised this Young Master Jiang's appearance, which really made me curious.

Just what kind of man could make a beauty like Miss Wen feel ashamed?

It's a pity that this outstanding handsome man and I are destined to have no fate!

"I'm not going to marry him!" I took a big bite of the golden, reddish apricot.

Such a sweet apricot, it must have come from Shandong!

"Why?" Miss Wen's eyes widened. "Is Young Master Jiang not good enough for you?"

What did that mean?

Where do you begin to talk about being nice to me?

"What do you mean, sister?" I hastily asked.

I've never seen this Young Master Jiang before, so there's naturally no way something like this would happen. How can you say that he's nice to me?

If word of this ever got out, I would be doomed for sure!
