Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down

As the spring breeze blew over the eaves of the mansion, the newlyweds Wu and Geng officially entered the mansion today. Mrs. Yi Ya stood in front of the window, gazing at the spring scenery in the garden, but she was thinking about the family dinner in the evening.

"Madam Su." Yi Ya called softly, calling this capable assistant in the mansion to her side.

Although Nanny Su has not been in the mansion for a long time, she is now Yi Ya's confidant and knows everything about the mansion. Yi Ya looked at her and raised her lips slightly: "Nanny Su, I want to arrange a family dinner for Wu and Geng tonight. You also know the kitchen in the mansion and know what to do."

Nanny Su nodded, with a calm smile on her face: "Don't worry, Fu Jin, I will definitely do it properly."

After arranging for Nanny Su, Yi Ya called Yuan Bao, the clever servant who was the messenger in the mansion. "Yuan Bao, go to the front yard and tell the Fourth Master to remember to attend the family dinner tonight."

Yuanbao responded and immediately trotted to the front yard. His figure shuttled through the corridor and soon arrived at the room where Yinzhen was.

In the front yard, Su Peisheng was trimming the flowers and plants. When he saw Yuanbao coming, he hurried over to greet him: "Yuanbao, where are you going? You look so anxious."

Yuanbao replied, "Yes, Fu Jin asked me to tell the Fourth Master that there will be a family dinner for the newlyweds in the evening, and please be sure to attend."

Upon hearing this, Su Peisheng immediately went into the house and reported to Yinzhen: "Fourth Master, Fu Jin sent Yuan Bao to tell you that she will hold a family dinner for Wu and Geng in the evening. Please attend."

Yinzhen put down the scroll in his hand, a hint of interest flashed in his eyes: "Got it, tell her I will be there on time."

Seeing that his message had been delivered, Yuanbao stepped out and returned to Yiya to report.

At the same time, Wu and Geng in the backyard also got the news. Although they were from different backgrounds, they were both looking forward to the family dinner tonight. After all, this was the first time they met Yinzhen, and it was also a critical moment for their future destiny.

"I heard that the Fourth Master will choose one of us to serve him. I wonder who it will be?" Wu murmured softly, with a hint of worry in her eyes.

Geng seemed calmer: "No matter who it is, we must go all out and show our best."

The two smiled at each other and began to dress up for the family dinner in the evening. They both knew that their performance tonight would directly affect their status and future in the mansion.

So, the two of them began to get busy, dressing up, hoping to leave a good impression on Yinzhen. Wu chose a pink long skirt, the hem of which swayed gently with her steps, like peach blossoms in spring. Geng wore a light blue dress, like a clear spring in summer.

……

As night fell, the family banquet at the Fourth Prince's Mansion officially began. Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Geng had already arrived and were quietly waiting in the exquisite banquet hall. Their hearts were filled with anticipation and nervousness, because tonight was of great significance to them.

"Princess, princess, Princess Li and Princess Song are here with the eldest and second princesses." A maid came hurriedly to report the news.

Wu and Geng smiled at each other and quickly stood up to greet them: "Greetings, Li Gege, Song Gege, Da Gege, Er Gege."

Song Gege helped them up with a smile: "No need to be polite, we are all sisters. Tonight is a family dinner, so everyone should be more casual." She took the second Gege's hand and guided her to her seat.

Li Gege seemed relatively indifferent. She nodded lightly and walked towards her seat with the eldest princess without even looking at Wu and Geng.

Wu and Geng knew what was going on, and Li Gege's attitude was not surprising. They both tactfully said nothing more, but just sat quietly aside, waiting for the family dinner to begin.

Soon, Yi Ya and Yin Zhen came hand in hand. Everyone stood up and saluted. Yin Zhen waved his hand and motioned everyone to sit down. He took Yi Ya to sit down, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn and warm.

Yi Ya smiled and welcomed Wu and Geng: "Thank you for joining the Fourth Prince's Mansion. I hope you can live happily here in the future."

Everyone toasted to congratulate, and the dinner officially began. The dinner was rich and exquisite, but the atmosphere was a little subtle. Wu and Geng knew that the key moment of the night was about to come.

After the meal, Yinzhen stood up and said to everyone, "Let's end the family dinner tonight." His eyes lingered between Wu and Geng, and finally chose Geng: "Geng, you will serve me tonight."

Wu's heart sank, but she still tried to stay calm and saluted to Yinzhen and Geng: "Yes, I respectfully send you off, Fourth Master, Sister Geng."

Yinzhen didn't say much, just nodded lightly, and then left the banquet hall with Geng. Seeing this, Yi Ya also stood up and said to Nanny Wang: "Let's go back to the main courtyard too."

Li Gege and Song Gege also left the table one after another, and the lively banquet hall suddenly became deserted. Only Wu was left, sitting there blankly, obviously still unable to accept this result.

"Princess, it's time for us to go back to our room." A maid reminded cautiously.

Wu came back to her senses, she forced a smile and nodded: "Well, let's go back."

With the help of the maid, Wu slowly stood up and returned to her room in disappointment. She knew that tonight was an important beginning for her, but also a cruel test. But she also understood that no matter what the result was, she had to face it bravely.

After returning to her room, Wu sat alone by the bed, feeling mixed emotions. She recalled her excitement and anticipation when she first entered the Fourth Prince's Mansion, her nervousness and anxiety when she and Geng were waiting together, Li Gege's cold eyes and Song Gege's warm smile... Everything seemed to be still before her eyes, but it had become out of reach.

"Princess, don't be too sad." Seeing that Wu was in a low mood, the maid couldn't help but comfort her, "Although you didn't get the favor of the Fourth Master tonight, you will have a chance in the future."

Wu smiled bitterly and shook her head: "I know that my status cannot be compared with Li Gege and Song Gege, and I have never expected to be favored by the Fourth Master. It's just..." Her voice trembled a little, "I just hope to find a place of my own in the Fourth Prince's Mansion and live a stable life."

The maid was silent for a while, then said softly: "Princess, don't worry, as long as we do our best to do our duty, one day we will be recognized and respected by others."

Wu nodded. She knew the maid was right. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. No matter what, she couldn't let herself be defeated. She still had a long way to go and many things to do. She believed that one day she would find her own place in the Fourth Prince's Mansion.
