Jiang Wanru smoothed her hair and changed back into comfortable home clothes. (To be continued below) Press Ctrl+D to bookmark "Please see novel network" She walked back to the desk in her room, just about to sit down when she suddenly thought of Lian Hao in the small living room. After standing by the desk for a moment, she slowly sat down. Ji Yan entered the room from the side door and saw Jiang Wanru sitting properly at the desk, staring blankly out the window amidst the flickering candlelight.

  Jiang Wanru heard the sound of Ji Yan entering and turned her head to look at her. As Ji Yan approached her side, she signaled her to bend down and whispered in her ear: "Third Master is sitting outside, you enter from the front door." Ji Yan listened to Jiang Wanru's words and immediately walked quietly into the side door. A while later, Jiang Wanru inside the house heard Ji Yan greeting Lian Hua. Ji Yan returned to the room, with an uncertain expression, approached Jiang Wanru's side, and reminded her in a low voice: "Miss, I think Third Master seems to be very angry."

  Jiang Wanru raised her index finger to her lips, signaling Jiyan not to speak. The two of them sat silently in the room, listening to the occasional sound of Lianhao's voice from the small hall next door, as well as the news that he had ordered food to be delivered directly. When Jiang Wanru heard the voice of the woman who brought the food, she signaled Jiyan to go and let her in. After the two women came in and arranged the dishes, one of them said in a low voice, "Madam, Third Master will come over later, so be more accommodating." She finished speaking and immediately followed her companion out.

  Jiang Wanting thought of Lian Hao sitting in the small conference room outside, so she didn't let Ji Yan eat. She quickly finished her meal and put away her bowl and chopsticks. When she asked Ji Yan to take out the dishes, she said loudly: "I'm fine here, come back after you've finished eating." After Ji Yan left, she walked around the room a few times, then went into the side room and exited through the back door, walking back and forth in the snowy ground to digest her food.

  Jiang Wanru thought that she had digested her food and felt that Lian Hao should have finished his meal too. She should be in a good mood, perhaps going to the Wang Fu to reunite with Old Lady Wang and the other ladies. She entered through the back door, feeling at ease, when suddenly she saw Lian Hao sitting upright in the room. After being stunned for a moment, she quickly went over to pay her respects, saying: "Third Master, have you had dinner?" Lian Hao glared at her with annoyance. He had eaten next door, and yet she pretended not to know anything, politely asking him if he had eaten.

  Jiang Wanru originally said polite words, but now seeing him staring at himself without speaking, he walked to his own seat and sat down. After Jiang Wanru sat down, Lian Hao still stared at her, his eyes as if there were flowers blooming on her face. Jiang Wanru calmly accepted Lian Hao's gaze, lowering her head to think about Lian Hao's abnormal behavior. According to reason, this time should be when Lian Hao is enjoying his colorful clothes. He is still staying here now, it seems that tomorrow the princess will definitely send someone to ask for herself.

  Jiang Wanru thought carefully about these days, and she was as low-key as usual. Except for the wife of the crown prince who would occasionally come to see her, no one else had ever visited her in the Wang Fu. Jiang Wanru thought back and forth and didn't think she had offended Lian Hua, so she put down the burden in her heart and didn't care about Lian Hua's gaze. In a situation where she was struggling to protect herself, she didn't have the mood to care about someone who had everything and occasionally threw tantrums.

  Lian Hao has recently become more friendly to Jiang Wan, often sending her delicious food from outside. He would have someone deliver it to the Wang Fu for Old Madame and the other ladies to taste, and sometimes he would even remember to bring a portion for her to try. In fact, Jiang Wan did not want such small favors, always feeling that eating others' food would make her owe them, but she could not refuse Lian Hao's superficial reasons. When Jiang Wan obviously wanted to decline, Lian Hao said: "During the New Year, there will be many guests at home, and when someone asks you about these few things, you should have something to say in response."

  Jiang Wanru accepted the pastries only after hearing this reason. After Ming Tuo left, there was no other woman by Cong Xiao's side for a while. The maids in his courtyard began to dress up again, and the housekeepers had their own thoughts after seeing them. One day, the housekeeper who managed the maids spoke to Jiang Wanru as if sharing a secret: "Madam, there are several maids in the courtyard now, they're not young anymore, each of them is beautiful and has a good temperament, when Third Master comes, I think it's time to arrange for them to serve him closely, what do you think, Madam?"

  Jiang Wanru nodded slightly when she first heard the housekeeper's words, but later thought about it and understood the meaning of "the fat water doesn't flow into other people's fields". She showed a understanding expression on her face and said to the housekeeper: "For this kind of thing, you can arrange it with care, no need to tell me. Don't worry, I know what to do." Jiang Wanru thought about this and looked up at Lian Hua's cold eyes. Thinking that she had only heard the housekeeper's voice just now, she immediately stood up and walked out of the room, leaving behind a confused Lian Hua in the room.

  Jiang Wanru opened the outer door and saw the housekeeper standing outside. She stretched out her hand to pull her aside and said in a low voice, "Those few people you've discussed, tell them to hurry up and serve tea to the master inside." The housekeeper heard Jiang Wanru's words and sighed softly, saying, "Madam, it's too late. The princess has already given orders for us to keep an eye on the people in the courtyard. Those who are not obedient will be driven out early." Jiang Wanru looked at her with a stunned expression, then responded indifferently, saying, "Oh, I see."

  The housekeeper glanced at Jiang Wanru's expression and said in a low voice, "Madam, Third Master looks unhappy, you'd better humor him tonight." Jiang Wanru listened and looked at her with a bitter smile, saying, "I'm not good at talking, Third Master is proud and I'm afraid I won't be able to please him. You're the one who's been by his side for years, think of a way to get him to go to Old Princess Wang and Princess Wang's place." The housekeeper became anxious, pulling Jiang Wanru aside in a low voice, saying, "Old Princess Wang and Princess Wang have both invited Third Master over, but he said he won't leave tonight and wants to stay here. Madam, didn't you get into trouble outside and Third Master saw it?"

  She looked at her with a mixture of laughter and tears, saying: "Look at me, someone with this appearance and temperament, would I be the kind of person to cause trouble outside? Maybe it's your third master who has fallen for a beautiful woman outside, but that little beauty is arrogant and hasn't taken a liking to your third master. He's feeling stifled in his heart and can't find anyone to vent to outside. Only when he returns to the Wang estate does he think of finding fault with me, but I don't have any faults for him to pick on. Now he's just not in a good mood. Never mind, don't mention these things. Just call two pretty little maids to bring tea in. After a while, seeing those two beautiful maids serving him well will calm his temper and everything will be fine."

  Jiang Wanru felt something was off and turned to enter the room. Lian Hao looked at her as she came in, slightly opening the door and furrowing his brow, saying: "Have someone bring in charcoal fire, it's cold in this room." Jiang Wanru heard this and quickly turned around to go out again, loudly telling the housekeeper standing outside the door: "Bring in charcoal fire, Third Master says the room is cold." After finishing speaking, Jiang Wanru didn't rush to enter, instead standing outside, watching as the two little maids who received the order, one holding a small stove and the other carrying tea utensils, walked towards the door.

  Jiang Wanru knew that the maids in the Wang household were all good-looking, but a woman who could get the approval of the housekeeper must have something special about her. Now, looking at the two slender figures walking slowly towards her, she saw their gentle and beautiful eyebrows and eyes, giving people a comfortable and pleasing feeling. After the two women entered the room, Jiang Wanru gave the housekeeper a thumbs up and said in a low voice, "Good taste, apart from their looks, these two are indeed pleasant to be around." The housekeeper smiled proudly and said softly, "Madam, men all like this kind of woman."

  Jiang Wan smiled and added, "Even if women like this type of person, these two young girls' relationships must be quite good. Unless they are hypocritical." The housekeeper looked at Jiang Wan in surprise, as she usually wouldn't gossip about them. She thought that today was also because Lian Shuang had stayed in the room for too long, making her talk excessively. In a soft voice, she said, "Madam, both of their relationships are good now, but whether they can maintain their current ordinary heart after rising to power, I really haven't seen many people do so."

  The room was filled with the sound of girls asking after each other, accompanied by faint and gentle responses. The housekeeper and Jiang Wan exchanged a glance, the housekeeper let out a sigh of relief, while Jiang Wan was in a good mood watching the snow at night. When Ji Xing came over, Jiang Wan went forward to greet her, saying in a low voice, "You should rest early today, and leave the Wang Fu early tomorrow." Ji Xing glanced at the housekeeper outside the door, and said to Jiang Wan in a low voice, "Miss, since Third Master has already returned. It's cold, you should go back to your room and warm up for a while."

  Jiang Wanmu smiled and said, "No need to go in for now, Third Master is drinking tea inside." Ji Yan looked at Jiang Wanmu with a questioning expression, which made her smile and tap his forehead a few times, saying softly, "This is Third Master's place, you can stay as long as you like. You go back, I'll go in later." Ji Yan stood beside her and said, "Can I accompany Miss to take a walk around?" Jiang Wanmu glanced at the snow on the ground and shook her head lightly, saying, "It's late, I'd rather stand outside for a bit, you go back."

  Jiang Wanru tried to persuade her not to leave, but Jiyan was determined to stay with her. The two could only stand under the eaves of the house, gazing at the snowflakes falling from the night sky. Jiyan glanced at Jiang Wanru, looking at her calm expression, and thought that such a good woman would have to live a life of obscurity in the future, which made her heart feel a little sour. Jiang Wanru came back to herself, unable to hear the voices inside the room, but only saw the woman who had delivered charcoal fire going out of the room. Jiang Wanru glanced at Jiyan, looking at her hands tucked into her sleeves, and gently shook her head saying: "You go back, I'll go in now."

  Jiang Wanru walked towards the door, and Jiyuan stood still, watching her stop outside the room. The two of them looked at each other from a distance until they heard Lianhao's voice coming from inside: "Wanru, come in." Jiang Wanru waved goodbye to Jiyuan, signaling her to leave, then pushed open the door and entered the room. Inside, two maidservants stood by the table, while Lianhao was saying: "You two do as I say, hurry up and go." The two maidservants nodded, gave Jiang Wanru a strange look, bowed to her, and quickly left.
