"Don't you know?"

Miss Wen slightly raised her almond-shaped eyes and glanced at me. Within them, there was a billowing wind blowing towards me. A light smile appeared on her face, giving her an aggressive beauty.

"What should I know?"

I held the teacup in my hand and asked Miss Wen with a faint smile.

There was an inescapable estrangement in my tone.

In my rebirth, I began to learn to plan for my future. What came with this was that I could no longer be as steadfast in believing in a person as I was in the past.

"It seems like you really do not know." Miss Wen slightly smiled and took a sip of the tea beside her:

"My mother has a younger sister who's been serving in Young Master Jiang's room. According to her, the reason Lady Jiang proposed to marry you is because Young Master Jiang said that he will marry no one but you. If Lady Jiang doesn't agree, then he will follow the Great Void Sect's Daoist Master to Wuyi Mountain to cultivate!"

A buzz went off in my head!

What was going on?

I haven't even seen this Young Master Jiang in person, how did he say something that I have to say?

"Elder sister, are your words accurate?" I felt as if all the blood had been drained from my body.

"What happened to you?" Miss Wen was startled by my appearance. In the end, she was still a fifteen or sixteen year old girl. She hurriedly stood up and shook my hand, asking repeatedly.

No wonder she wanted to keep her servants far away!

What would they think of me if they heard this, and what would I do if it got out?

Was it the life of an ancient buddha, or was it a towel hanging from a beam?

"I'm fine! I'm fine! " Afraid that her strangeness would attract people, he quickly suppressed her and asked in a low voice, "Elder sister, are you serious?"

Miss Wen lowered her eyes. Her fan-like eyelashes fluttered a few times. She pursed her lips and said, "I have misunderstood my little sister!"

After saying that, she moved the Embroidery Pillar closer to me, and with an apologetic expression, she whispered into my ear:

"When I heard those words, I was shocked. I thought you and …" Young Master Jiang finally had one … First tail. I called you over in a hurry to ask you about this. After all, the worst case scenario would be our daughter's house! Who would have thought that I would be a petty person! As for his words, they couldn't be more true. Her mother had served Sir Jiang since he was young. As long as he was in the Jiang family, she would take care of all the chores around him. "But you and Young Master Jiang are noble and benevolent, fair and square. How could he say such words?"

How could he say such a thing? How could I know?

However, I couldn't tell Miss Wen that the Jiang family wanted to marry me because I had a face like Princess Honghua's!

After a while, I couldn't figure out how to cover this up, so I had to lower my head and drink my tea.

"Since you two are innocent, then there is nothing to be afraid of!" Miss Wen smiled awkwardly, "If you look carefully, Sir Jiang is a rare good man!"

It was time to change the subject.

I raised my head slightly, as if I were very interested in the subject.

The smile on Miss Wen's face made me feel a little embarrassed.

"Young Master Jiang's first name is Ming. It's written in a letter from the former University Scholar Huang of the Hall of Illustrious Persons. "Eight years old and passed the examinations at the age of twelve. After that, he started cultivating under Taoist Xuanxu. At the age of sixteen, he left his teacher and continued to travel outside …"

As Miss Wen observed my expression, she explained Young Master Jiang's situation as though it were her own. Seeing my head lowered without a word, I wore a kind and mocking smile on my face.

It's a good thing that I don't want to marry Young Master Jiang. How about you understand him so well?

For a moment, I realized that Miss Wen was also a girl with a bit of a genuine personality.

Unlike when I used to see her, I always wore a kind and kind smile on my face, but it always made you feel that although she was standing by your side, she was actually very far away from you.

"Thank you elder sister." I smiled at her and nodded, pouring her a cup of tea with my own hands.

"It's just that this marriage has always been the order of the parents. The words of the matchmaker are impossible for us daughters to make the decision."

I hinted that my family did not approve of the marriage.

"That's true." Miss Wen didn't hold back. She smiled as she took a sip from the teacup in my hand. "It's just rare to see someone who takes you seriously like this and is extremely picky with men. Don't you have any feelings for him?"

She narrowed her long and narrow phoenix eyes, looking no matter how she looked at it, she seemed mischievous.

I began to flirt with her. "I really want to personally see Young Master Jiang's appearance. Just what kind of praise is elder sister giving him?!"

"Alright!" Miss Wen straightened her face and said calmly and solemnly: "I had planned everything with you, but now you are going to back down!"

Seeing that I was unwilling to talk about the marriage, Miss Wen assumed that I was unable to make a decision at home and would not talk about it. She would only talk about family matters with me to pass the time.

The two joked and laughed for a while. Qiu Yu took the opportunity to whisper a few words in Miss Wen's ear while the maidservants were having their lunch.

"Foolish!" Miss Wen's face darkened. She raised her voice and shouted angrily: "Take him. I want to see who dares to take him away!"

Qiu Yu obediently left.

Miss Wen gave me an embarrassed look and explained in a low voice, "There are some matters in my aunt's family. When my mother went to help out, she handed over the matters of the family to me. I have no experience with all sorts of things, so it would be rude to speak up against my little sister. "

I smiled and took a sip from the teacup in front of me.

Did he go to help, or did he go to his sister's house out of anger?

What's more, he had never heard that his married concubine would seek out his sister who had broken off all ties to his family to help!

It's just that Miss Wen didn't want to tell me, so I didn't need to ask those who were working in the camp to find out. There were even rules about being untouchable in one's own home, and Miss Wen also didn't want to casually take out her family's matters to say, so why should I make things difficult for her?

"Look at what elder sister said, isn't it my fault for coming at the wrong time!" I smiled politely and took the little blue and white dish from her.

Seeing that I didn't pursue the matter out of curiosity, Miss Wen was greatly relieved.

"I wonder if sister will have time on the 8th day of August. The Su Clan sent over the auspicious hour for us to depart." Miss Wen's face was slightly pink, she was extremely flirtatious: "If little sister is free, come and send me off! "Speaking of which, Xipa still uses the flower that her sister sent her."

I like Miss Wen the most.

"I'll definitely come when I'm free!" I smiled and nodded as I watched the maidservant serve the last of the dishes.

"Why aren't you here yet?" Miss Wen turned around and urged Qiu Yu, "How can we let the customers wait for us!"

"I don't mind!" I waved my hand to indicate that I didn't mind.

The corner of Miss Wen's mouth twitched. She wanted to say something, but when she saw that there was a circle of servants surrounding them, she dispiritedly shut her mouth.

Not long later, a fair looking mother accompanied Wen Chengzu to the room, carrying a maidservant. Just as they reached the door, Wen Chengzu twisted in the maid's arms. She had no choice but to let him go down to the ground. Then, he ran into Miss Wen's arms.

"Elder sister ~" Wen Chengzu was acting coquettishly and sweetly at the same time.

"Go get some water to wash the young master's hands!" Miss Wen instructed Qiu Yu, and the maidservant quickly followed.

"Sister, I want to eat fish!" Wen Chengzu's white and tender little finger pointed at a rat fish in the middle of the table, then he turned towards Miss Wen with his little face like white tofu.

"Good!" Good! We'll eat after we wash our hands! " Miss Wen seemed to be extremely patient with this little brother of hers. She held him in her arms intimately, and her eyes were filled with pity.

Mercy?

Was it because Mrs. Wen did not like this Heir of hers?

Or was it because the child was placed in a difficult situation because of the mother's lack of understanding that made Miss Wen feel pity for him?

After the meal, Miss Wen had only eaten a few mouthfuls before feeding them to Wen Chengzu. After the meal, Miss Wen took Wen Chengzu's hand and coaxed him to his room for a nap.

In the east wing, Miss Wen leaned against the side of the brick bed and lightly patted Wen Chengzu, only when he fell asleep did she pull me out. She repeatedly reminded mother and maidservant to take care of the little young master, and even left Qiu Yu there to look after him.

"Sister, I have no other choice!" Once they were in the east, the crowd left. Miss Wen shed tears, no longer maintaining her calm expression in front of the servant woman.

I shot a look at the green bandit.

He tiptoed out of the room and closed the door for us.

Only then did Miss Wen begin to talk while wiping her tears.

"Just now, my little brother's mother, the rich second grandma, said that her mother suddenly wants to see her grandson. Her mother's brother would come and take it over to stay at home for a few days before sending it back." If I don't agree, let my mother's close mother send him over. "

"Tell me, how could this happen!?" Ancestor Cheng has already passed on to our family, what does it have to do with her family! Those who don't know about her brazenly coming to pick us up might think that our Wen Family's direct line is empty! "

Miss Wen's white face turned red from anger.

"I'll bring Ancestor Cheng into my room. I want to see if he dares to break into the inner chamber and use a knife to force me to send him out!" At most, I'll just give up on my face and go to the government and beat up the wailing drum to see if they are being unreasonable or if I am! Are they ashamed or am I ashamed! "

The tears on Miss Wen's face fell like a string. She was too busy wiping them away with a handkerchief.

It was really the wrong time for Madame Wen to run away from home!

The person who needed to stand out the most was not here, but had left behind this daughter, who was in her room waiting to be married off. Not to mention that if something happened, it would harm Miss Wen's dignity, and it would ruin her entire life's reputation as Miss Wen.

How could a girl like her ever be able to live in a husband's home!

"Elder sister's words are wrong." As I poured tea for Miss Wen, I consoled her in a gentle tone, "If it gets out of hand, it's naturally because they treat people unreasonably. However, the disgrace they cause is due to everyone's lack of face."

Miss Wen could only droop her head in tears. Clearly, she had long understood the mystery behind this.

"Not to mention that my sister's auspicious day is approaching, I can't afford to miss a step!"
