Jiang Wanru was still preoccupied with worries as she fell asleep, and before closing her eyes, she was worried that she would have difficulty falling asleep. (Please remember our website)... As a result, she had no dreams until dawn, and when she first opened her eyes, she saw the dark color in front of her, thinking she woke up too early. Hearing the noise in the courtyard, she turned to see the thick bed curtains, stretched out her hand to open them, and only then realized that it was already daylight.
Ji Yan had been waiting in the room, and as Jiang Wanju reached out to open the bed curtains, she quickly walked over and pulled them open. Jiang Wanju got out of bed feeling refreshed, looked around at the neatly arranged bedding, saw that the quilts were still laid out on top, and asked Ji Yan in a low voice, "Where's Third Master?" Ji Yan carefully examined Jiang Wanju, seeing that there was nothing wrong with her, and said softly, "Third Master has gone out on business, he instructed that no one is allowed to move anything on the bed."
Jiang Wanmu nodded indifferently and walked into the side room. After washing up, she returned to the bedroom. The bed had been tidied up by Jiyu, and a steaming breakfast was laid out on the table. Jiang Wanmu glanced at Jiyu standing beside the table, quickly walked over to push open the window, and gazed out at the snowflakes, which were smaller than yesterday's. She turned back to sit down at the table, looked up at Jiyu, and said: "You go have breakfast, come in later to clean up the bowls and chopsticks, and then head out early."
In the Wang Fu, there were so many eyes staring at them that Jiang Wanru and Ji Yan couldn't be as casual with each other as they used to be in the Jiang house. Matters within Jiang Wanru's room were usually handled by Ji Yan. Both Jiang Wanru and Ji Yan tried their best not to give the people of Wang Fu a handle on them. Ji Yan, who would normally nod in agreement, shook her head gently today after listening to Jiang Wanru's words: "Miss, I won't go out today, I want to stay with you."
Jiang Wanru listened to her words and looked at the bedding on the bed. She didn't say much, just lowered her head and quickened her meal. After finishing her meal and putting away the bowls and chopsticks, Jiang Wanru stood up and slowly walked around the room, with Jiyuan following behind her. When Jiang Wanru sat down at the table, Jiyuan was still wandering aimlessly around the room, her distracted appearance making Jiang Wanru shake her head repeatedly.
Jiang Wanru originally wanted to let Jiyuan spin around in front of her, but after a long time, she was dizzy from being spun around and opened her mouth to persuade her: "You're distracted, why not go out for a walk? Such things should be discussed with your family early on. There won't be any big deal inside the mansion." Jiyuan stopped in her tracks, drew closer to Jiang Wanru and said in a low voice: "Miss, Third Master's overnight stay here last night can't be hidden from the people of Wangfu. I saw the people outside today, except for two servants, everyone looked flustered. I'll still stay with Miss, no matter what, Miss has me to rely on."
Jiang Wanru was deeply moved by Ji Yan's words, which showed that he had been taking care of himself. However, she felt in her heart that the people from the Wang Fu would not take immediate action against her, at most they would ask her a few questions. After all, the mastermind was Lian Hua herself, and Jiang Wanru was just an accomplice. The people from the Wang Fu were all wise and discerning, knowing that she wasn't qualified to be a fox spirit. Jiang Wanru smiled and asked Ji Yan: "Ji Yan, did I drag him into this?" Ji Yan shook his head vigorously.
Jiang Wanru continued to ask her, "Is it necessary for me to keep San Ye in the room? Do you think I have the ability to keep San Ye here?" Ji Yan looked at Jiang Wanru and said frankly, "Miss, you can't keep San Ye here, it's San Ye himself who wants to stay in the room and is willing to sleep on the couch." After listening, Jiang Wanru lightly clapped her hands and said to her, "You see, this is something that everyone understands. I couldn't decide San Ye's actions, I'm just following his wishes, and it's not good to drive away the master of the house. I haven't done anything wrong, so there's no need to worry about people from the Wang Fu coming to ask questions. Nothing big will happen, you can go out and come back early."
Ji Yan persuaded Jiang Wanru to leave the mansion, and this day passed as quietly as Jiang Wanru had expected. In the following days, Lian Hao would return to the room every time he was on duty, chatting with Jiang Wanru, and at night, he would sleep peacefully on the couch. He often told Jiang Wanru some interesting things, and sometimes invited her out to admire the snow.
Jiang Wanru is a very good listener, but not a good playmate. She always uses the excuse of being afraid of the cold to refuse going out with Lian Hua. After refusing many times, Lian Hua also stopped asking her about going out.
Jiang Wanru always felt that under the current calm surface, there must be a storm waiting for her. On this day, the young master's wife came to visit with a smile, glancing at the bedding on the couch and then looking at the bed hidden behind the screen. She smiled and said: "I used to think that my third brother was a very spoiled person, everything had to be perfect, and the people around him also had to cater to his every whim, never seeing him compromise with anyone. I heard that in the military camp, his bedding was always washed until it was spotless. I didn't expect that one day he would be willing to settle for sleeping on a couch in his own home."
Jiang Wanmu silently faced the Crown Prince's wife, unable to help but acknowledge or oppose the kind of person Xiao Hua was. The Crown Prince's wife saw Jiang Wanmu's calm expression and softly said: "Mother wants me to ask you, would the Third Master act this way if you had seduced him?" It seemed that Queen Wang's words were much more severe than what the Crown Prince's wife had conveyed. Jiang Wanmu heard these words and was still shocked, looking up at the Crown Prince's wife with a raised head. After a while, she couldn't help but laugh out loud and say: "Queen Wang thinks too highly of me and overpraises me. The Third Master is such a handsome and talented person, how could someone like me with an ordinary appearance and a wooden personality seduce him?"
"The princess should be the one who knows Third Master's temperament best. I also want to ask someone, why does Third Master insist on staying in the same room as me? I've already hinted to him tactfully that if he wants to return to his own room, I can move to another room. Unfortunately, the people in charge of the courtyard all listen to Third Master's words, and they told me that there are no empty rooms available for me to use. Madame Crown Prince, I don't like sharing a room with others. If possible, please advise him against it. If Third Master likes this room, I can move out immediately."
The young mistress listened and only lightly sighed, saying: "Wan Mu, after I have children, I will be able to understand the love of a mother for her own child. Third Master is the most beloved child in his mother's heart, in his mother's heart, this child will always be a treasure, he deserves better people and things." Jiang Wanmu listened with a face full of envy, and in an instant she calmly said: "Young Mistress, I understand your meaning, although I have been without anyone to protect me since childhood, but I have self-awareness, I won't indulge in daydreams about Third Master. A few months later, Third Master will have his own grand path to follow, while even if I am walking on a small road, I will slowly and steadily walk it, the road will eventually become smooth."
After the young master's wife left, many days had passed without her return. Lian Hao came to Xiawu day again, he entered the room and said to Jiang Wanru who was sitting at the desk: "Wanru, last time I went hunting, I only caught one animal, alas, only one piece of fur, not even a good fur. A few days ago we were lucky enough to follow the emperor on a hunt again, this time with good luck, and finally hunted several animals, with several pieces of good fur. Now I have specially called someone to send them to a famous store for processing furs, let people watch them process the furs, after some days take them out, and then can make several pieces of fur coats, at that time I will reward you one to wear."
A serious man is the most handsome man in the world. At this moment, Jiang Wanmu truly felt that the man in front of her was indeed good-looking. However, Jiang Wanmu only listened to Lian Hao's words as a pleasant sound. Lian Hao smiled and told Jiang Wanmu about the fun of hunting, and sighed to her: "Wanmu, it's a pity you're not a man. We've already agreed that next time we'll go hunting again, and then we can call up all the brothers from each family. However, since there are only a few of us, we won't be able to go deep into the mountains, so we can only hunt small animals on the outskirts." Jiang Wanmu naturally nodded in agreement with his words, saying: "Third Master is awesome."
Lian Hao heard Jiang Wanru's agreement and suddenly patted his own head, laughing and saying to her: "Wanru, I remembered that you promised to give me a handkerchief last time, when will it be embroidered and given to me?" Jiang Wanru was taken aback after hearing this, she had long forgotten about the matter. She said in a low voice: "Third Master, I haven't found good fabric yet, so I didn't..."
She spoke in a lower and lower voice under Lianhao's sharp gaze, finally only lowering her eyelids to listen to Lianhao's verdict. Lianhao glared at the woman in front of him who was making excuses, she had clearly agreed to do something for him, but not only did she not remember it, judging from her expression, she seemed to have completely forgotten about it, and now she even dared to lie to deceive him. Thinking of this, Lianhao's face became increasingly indignant, his eyes glaring fiercely at the person in front of him.
Lian Hao and Jiang Wanru glared at each other, then Lian Hao turned to the housekeeper and said, "You go find two pieces of good fabric, Madam wants to make a handkerchief for me personally. Hurry up and go, I'll wait here for your return."
The housekeeper quickly swept past the silent Jiang Wan and nodded with a smile: "Third Master, I'll be back soon." The housekeeper hastily left, and Lian Hao looked at Jiang Wan's downcast eyes and said: "I'm free today, so I'll stay with you and make two handkerchiefs for me." Jiang Wan didn't dare to raise her eyebrows, and obediently said: "Yes, Third Master, I will do my best to make the two handkerchiefs well." Lian Hao was quite satisfied with Jiang Wan's gentleness, and his face's anger dissipated a lot. He said in a deep voice: "Wan, you've been dazed in your room all day, it's really not a good thing. People will become more and more stupid this way."
I had you make the handkerchiefs so that you would have something to do, and at the same time, you can practice your needlework. Today, after you finish making these two handkerchiefs, next time I'm free, I'll come teach you how to recognize characters. Once you've learned many characters, I'll then teach you how to write. In the future, when you have free time, you can read books in your room, broaden your horizons, and you won't appear so dull." When Jiang Wan heard Lian Hao's words, she suddenly remembered that Lian Zi Mo had also wanted to teach her to recognize characters and write with a sincere heart back then.
