Three families hire each other, the mistress of the marquisate accidentally offends the treacherous

Lu Huan suddenly realized.

"But Madam... Can you trust Bai Wei? Are you afraid that she might do something secretly? After all, she is Madam's person now. If she does something, it will directly implicate Madam."

Jiang Qingyue shook her head: "No, she doesn't dare.

"Because she is mine, she would not dare to do that. If she wants to implicate me, she will be the first to bear the brunt. If something happens to me, she will be ten times more miserable than me if I use this method."

"Will she...turn against us?"

"Defection? Ha."

In her previous life, Bai Wei did switch sides, but in this life, she has no chance.

She didn’t dare to do that now, unless she was sure that she would fall and could be killed with one blow.

"Don't worry, she won't now."

When Lu Huan heard the words “not now”, she was frightened.

Miaowenyuan.

Chu Wan'er sat in the yard in the rain with all her might. She had already thought about what angle she should fall down from, what she should say, and what expression she should have when Xue Feimu came...

She had thought it all out, down to every step and move, striving to make Xue Feimu feel distressed when he saw her, and furious when she mentioned it.

only……

Damn it, the rain is getting heavier and heavier. She can’t bear it anymore.

The rain fell on her forehead and flowed down. She could hardly open her eyes. She could only be forced to bear it with her eyes half open.

Go ahead and rain, it would be better if it rains harder, the bigger the better, the more miserable and pitiful she looks, the better.

As long as she could hold on until Xue Feimu came back, she would be able to see the moon after the clouds cleared.

"Aunt, the rain is getting heavier. Let's go inside first. If it continues like this, we'll catch a cold."

"Yes, auntie, the prince will be distressed when the time comes."

If she didn't leave, the maid behind her had to stay with her.

It was raining heavily at this time, and the maid came close to speak. Maybe it was because her voice was too loud, but Chu Wan'er felt the sound was harsh and her ears were buzzing.

"Is Agate back?"

Just now she asked Manou to wait at the door and invite people over as soon as the prince came back.

She is now waiting anxiously.

"Aunt, Agate hasn't come back yet."

Chu Wan'er felt empty in her heart: "What time is it now?"

The maid came closer and heard clearly, and replied: "It's past the afternoon."

"Just now..." Chu Wan'er murmured.

I should have come out later.

Chu Wan'er secretly thought that she was too impulsive just now and suffered so much in vain.

"Auntie, someone is coming." the maid shouted.

The prince is back?

Chu Wan'er was startled and perked up, immediately sitting up straight, looking aggrieved yet stubborn.

I quickly went over the plan in my mind.

It starts as soon as I see the prince.

The rain and fog were so thick that she could only vaguely see a group of people walking towards her. Just as she was about to fall to the side, she saw a woman's figure.

She opened her eyes wide, and when she saw clearly, her heart sank: It's not the prince.

The maid next to her reminded:

"Auntie, she is the head maidservant beside the young lady."

Chu Wan'er frowned.

What are Jiang Qingyue’s people here for?

Are you here to laugh at her?

Chu Wan'er was angry, but she couldn't stop others from laughing at her because of what she did.

Today she was careless and was laughed at. Next time, she will pay it back tenfold or a hundredfold.

Bai Wei was walking over from a distance. Seeing Chu Wan'er soaked like a drowned rat, she felt happy and showed contempt on her face. She ignored her and walked past a few people to the courtyard.

Chu Wan'er was confused and didn't know what Bai Wei meant. It seemed... she wasn't here to laugh at the joke?

Then what are you here for?

She watched Bai Wei enter the room. The maids and servants behind her were carrying boxes one after another, and she had no idea what was inside them.

Then they started cleaning diligently.

It was getting dark outside and the lights were turned on in the house, casting light into the yard.

Several people outside looked at the movement in the house with puzzled expressions.

"Aunt, what are they...doing?"

"Aunt, they seem to be tidying up the house, making the bed, boiling water, and making tea..."

"This is someone who serves the young lady. Bai Wei is the young lady's maid. This must be the young lady's intention."

"How can the young lady be so kind?"

"However, Madam has always been kind to others..."

After the maid said this, she immediately realized that something was wrong and quickly stopped talking. While wiping the rain off her face with her hand, she looked at Chu Wan'er, fearing that Chu Wan'er would be unhappy and punish her.

I don’t know if it was because the rain was too heavy, but Chu Wan’er didn’t hear it and didn’t react much.

Chu Wan'er looked at the servants busying around in the room, and was a little confused about what Jiang Qingyue's intention was.

But she didn't think she had any good intentions. She must be falsely sympathetic, or she was just pretending to be sympathetic for the prince to see.

As a mistress, she treated her concubine harshly, and if anyone knew about it, she would be charged with a crime...

The maid behind her disrupted her thoughts:

"Aunt, the rain is really heavy. Why don't you go inside and take shelter from the rain?"

Chu Wan'er turned around and gave a fierce look. The maid was so scared that she immediately fell silent. The sound of the rain was so loud that it could not cover up the fierceness in Chu Wan'er's eyes.

The people outside the house looked self-deprecating as they were being caught in the rain, while the people inside the house were busy going in and out, forming a sharp contrast between the two sides.

The sky grew darker and darker, and after a while, it was completely dark, and the lights in the house seemed much brighter.

The light in the rain adds a touch of warmth to the atmosphere.

The maid behind Chu Wan'er didn't dare to speak anymore and could only accompany her quietly.

The rain seemed to be getting lighter and after a while, it stopped.

"Aunt, the rain has stopped." The maid finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Wan'er frowned and said nothing.

The rain stopped at this time, making it very awkward for her to sit outside.

If she went back now, all the rain she had just been caught in would have been wasted.

If she didn't go back, it would seem like she was looking for trouble. At this moment, she felt like she was in a dilemma.

She had planned everything, but she hadn't expected the rain to stop at this time and the prince hadn't returned yet.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, the maid behind her hurriedly wrung out a clean handkerchief and wiped the rain off her face.

The maids kept looking into the house. They could not bear the rain for so long.

It was still cold in March, and they were soaked through, and the wind made them feel cold. If they continued like this, they would definitely get sick.

They are different from Aunt Chu. Aunt Chu is the master and has medicine to serve her when she is sick. But servants like them may die from a cold.

The person in the room was still busy and didn't show any intention of coming out to invite us.

There was also a maid who went to the kitchen to light a fire and cook. Soon the fragrance of food wafted out from the small kitchen.

The maid swallowed her saliva and didn't dare to speak seeing that Chu Wan'er didn't move.

I just envy Agate who is waiting at the door. At least he can hide under the eaves and avoid being exposed to the rain and cold.

Chu Wan'er was also a little restless.

She thought that Jiang Qingyue was not that kind, but she did not think about the real reason why Jiang Qingyue did this. She only knew that she had been in the rain for so long and she absolutely could not leave easily.

The aroma in the kitchen became stronger and stronger.

Although Miaowenyuan is dilapidated at this time, it gives people a very warm feeling.

The night was getting darker and Agate had not returned yet. Chu Wan'er had never felt this time was so difficult to endure.

The wind blew in gusts, and she was shivering with cold, and her hair was shaking.

She didn't know how long it had been before she felt dizzy and thought she might have caught a cold and had a fever.

When I realized this, I didn't feel worried at all. Instead, I felt ecstatic.

This disease came at the right time. She became seriously ill. The more seriously ill she was, the more severe the punishment Jiang Qingyue received.

With this thought in mind, she became more determined to wait in the cold wind while standing there.

After an unknown amount of time, the aroma of food in the kitchen had dissipated, but Xue Feimu had not returned yet.

But they waited for another night of rain.

The maids complained in their hearts that they were going to suffer greatly today.

Chu Wan'er, however, smiled dazedly.

It's raining again. The prince should be back by now. Seeing how miserable I am, he must be worried sick.

In the past, when she accidentally scratched her skin, the prince felt distressed for a long time...

But she felt like she couldn't hold on any longer. The rain wasn't heavy, but the wind was very cold.

She told herself over and over again to hold on.

It’s almost there, it’s almost there.

As long as she can hold on until the prince returns home, all her suffering today will not be in vain.

Chu Wan'er relied on her willpower to get through the time bit by bit.

Finally, when she felt that she was already a little confused, she saw Agate running towards her in a daze, shouting:

"Auntie, auntie, the prince is back."

Chu Wan'er opened her eyes wide and looked at Manju who was running over. She listened to her again to confirm:

"The prince is back."

The string in my heart suddenly broke:

"Prince... ahem... Prince..."

Agate ran over and saw that her face was red and her eyes were confused, so she hurriedly said:

"The prince is back, the prince is back."

Chu Wan'er nodded, looked behind her, and saw someone coming. Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore, closed her eyes, and fell down.

Suddenly, the yard was in chaos.

When the people in the room heard the noise, they all came out.

As soon as Bai Wei came out, she saw several maids rushing over from behind Manju. She went straight forward and they all worked together to carry Chu Wan'er into the house.

The bed had been made and hot water was boiling in the room.

The old women directed the servants to cook ginger soup, changed Chu Wan'er's clothes, wiped her hair, helped her onto the bed, and fed her ginger soup.

Agate was almost stunned when she saw the women's smooth movements.

Where did these women come from? They seemed to have followed me here.

But when she came back, she didn't find it. Seeing Bai Wei here, could she be the young lady's man?

Given her qualifications, she didn't dare ask.

Bai Wei, who was directing the cleanup in the house, saw these old women and thought they were Chu Wan'er's people, so she didn't say much.

He checked the rooms cleaned by the servants one by one, confirmed that Chu Wan'er was lying down, and left with his people.

Afterwards, the old women also left, leaving behind a few maids, all of whom were Chu Wan'er's personal servants.

Among these people, except Agate who was slightly better off, the other three were soaked like drowned rats. They quickly took this opportunity to change their clothes.

Agate stayed by Chu Wan'er's side, not daring to leave.

Thinking of what he had just heard, his brows furrowed, wondering how he would explain it to his aunt after she woke up.

The other three maids changed their clothes and came out one after another. Everyone quickly ate some food and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he didn't dare to delay for a moment and went to stand guard beside Chu Wan'er.

Thinking of today, everyone's faces became solemn.

I originally thought that after entering Zhuxiangyuan, I would be able to hold my head high.

but now……

It's really unbearable to be so up and down like this.

Manju asked what had just happened, and understood Chu Wan'er's purpose, which made her even more flustered.

Others asked, "Where is the prince? Didn't they say he's back?"

Agate looked worried and didn't know what to say.

"Oh, has the prince come back? Has he not come back?"

"No, no, the prince is back. I saw him come back with my own eyes."

"Then why didn't you come over, but was stopped by the young lady?"

Agate shook his head: "No."

"Why is that? Tell me now. Since you're back, why haven't you seen anyone yet?

"The prince values ​​my aunt so much. If he knew what my aunt looked like, he would definitely not sit idly by."

"Did you not tell Persimmon?"

The other maids became anxious when they heard this, but Agate was even more anxious than them.

"I didn't say it, but I didn't mean to not say it. I just didn't have the chance..."

As Agate spoke, he told everything he had seen.

After hearing this, the maids turned pale and said in panic:

"Ah, when the prince came back, he startled the horses? Did he fall off the carriage?"

"How was it? Was the fall serious?"

Agate shook his head, thinking of the scene he had just seen, with a look of horror on his face:

"I don't know. I didn't see clearly. I just saw blood all over his body. The front was a mess. When he was carried back, I heard that the prince had fainted."

"Well...well, Auntie, in this state, do you want to see a doctor?"

"Well, let's not do it."

Now the doctors have gone ahead, so if they go to ask for him, it would be good if the prince is fine. If something happens, they will be held responsible.

"But, Auntie has already had a fever. If we don't take care of it, we will be held responsible if something happens."

Agate looked very ugly.

He turned his head to look at Chu Wan'er lying on the bed.

She is considered an elder in the mansion and has heard a lot about what goes on in everyone's backyard.

This time, Aunt Chu lost, and lost completely and clearly.

If letting Aunt Chu come to Miaowenyuan was the Young Madam's move, then the Prince frightening the horse was the sign that even God was on the Young Madam's side.

Aunt Chu’s suffering today was in vain.

Not only did he suffer in vain, but he also lost both his wife and his army.

Because it also displeased the old lady.

Originally, wives and concubines were jealous of each other, which was common in the harem. As long as they didn't cross the bottom line, they only saw who had better ability.

However, now that the prince is in trouble, at this juncture, if someone behaves in a very bad way, he will definitely lose face in front of the old lady.

Fortunately, there was no direct impact, otherwise, Aunt Chu would never get up again after her illness today.

Agate broke out in a cold sweat on his back.

Originally, seeing that the prince was concerned about Aunt Chu, I thought that I would have a good future by following Aunt Chu.

Now it seems not to be the case. With the way Aunt Chu keeps making trouble, she will get herself ruined sooner or later.

She has to find a way out for herself.

The prince doesn't like the young lady, and Aunt Chu can't beat her. It would be best if she could win the old lady's favor and work for her.

"I'll go ask the young lady for instructions."
