When the prince is reborn, he will only hit me if he doesn't hit the wall!

"Share your worries?..."

Wu murmured to herself and glanced thoughtfully at Nong'er who was trembling on the ground.

"Get up. If you can help me solve my problem, not only will you be completely innocent of what happened today, but I will also reward you handsomely."

Nong'er was overjoyed, but she didn't look up immediately. She still bowed her head to the ground and answered Wu: "Madam, please tell me clearly."

Wu briefly recounted the whole story, and at the end, she added, "I haven't even told the master about what happened today, Nong'er."

She spoke each word with an erratic tone, like the whisper of an evil spirit who holds the power of life and death, and the sinister sound exploded in Nong'er's ears.

If it is leaked, there is no doubt that you will die.

Nong'er knew clearly in her heart: "I know my limits. I have some ideas. Madam, please give me a chance."

"Oh? Do you have any idea?"

Wu sneered. It was indeed good to be young. Her mind worked so quickly. She moved to a chair nearby and sat down. She looked at Nong'er below with interest: "Tell me, what do you have in mind? You can stand up and talk, so you don't have to kneel."

Nong Er stood up as if she had been pardoned. She lowered her head and did not dare to look at Wu. She only replied, "If the madam's nephew does not want to marry, we can start with the third young lady."

The first sentence piqued Wu's interest. She leaned forward and said, "Interesting. Continue."

With Wu's approval, Nong's next words became much smoother and less awkward: "It has always been the case that girls love heroes.

Just like the women in the plays and picture books who love heroes and valiant men, being infatuated with them is not undesirable. If the lady's nephew is also like this, are you afraid that the third lady will not be tempted?"

Mrs. Wu thought it was a good idea, so she leaned back in her chair, no longer looking at Nong'er, and said disdainfully, "He's just a scholar, how can he be considered a hero? If he practices martial arts, it's ok, but what can a bookworm do?

If you're just talking nonsense, I heard from my sister-in-law that the third room girl... doesn't need him either."

"Madam, don't worry." Nong'er seemed to have expected Wu's reaction. She added hastily:

"As the saying goes, 'Everything depends on human effort'. Whether your nephew is a hero or not depends entirely on how you arrange it. As long as you manage him well, he can become a 'hero' in Miss Xu's heart.

It’s the same principle.”

"Hmm? -- what do you mean?"

Wu seemed to react. She saw Nong'er coming over and leaned over to whisper something in her ear. The more Wu listened, the more her eyebrows relaxed, until they narrowed into a thin line:

"Yes, your method is feasible. It's worth a try."

He patted Nong'er's shoulder again and said with relief: "Nong'er, you really know my heart. If this is accomplished, I will reward you generously!"

Nong'er was used to serving Wu and had long been accustomed to her mood swings. Rewards were another matter, but the only thing that mattered was that she saved her life.

I just replied quietly, "I am lucky to be able to share Madam's worries, and Madam also thinks highly of my method. It is my duty as a servant."

This kind of calm and unperturbed attitude made Mrs. Wu feel more at ease. The things that had been worrying her seemed to be solved. She felt relieved in her heart and her body seemed to be much more relaxed as well.

"Why hasn't the master come back yet? Has he been seduced by some little bitch again? Nong'er, go and keep watch outside. Report to me immediately when the master comes back."

Nong'er was eager to leave here as soon as possible. Seeing that her lady's mood had returned to normal, she nodded and walked out of the house.

Wu was the only one left in the room again. She leaned her head against the ceiling, and under the bright candlelight, she was thinking about how to talk to Xu Jiangqing when he came back, and how to cover up today's "mistake" in a non-trivial way.

The worries in her heart were gone, and Wu's mind was no longer tense as before. She felt groggy and fell asleep without knowing when...

"Madam, Madam, the master is back and has entered the gate of Xu's mansion."

Wu didn't know how long she had slept, and the candlelight in front of her had already burned halfway.

Nong'er woke her up and said, "The master will be at the gate soon. I will help Madam to comb her hair."

Wu felt it and stood up to take a quick look in front of the mirror. Sure enough, there were a few strands of messy hair in front of her forehead, and the hairpins were also crooked: "Help me tidy it up."

Regarding Xu Jiangqing's complaints, Wu only dared to mutter a few words behind his back and never dared to show any displeasure in front of him.

Just sorted myself out.

Xu Jiangqing staggered into the house, drunk. When Mrs. Wu went up to support him, Xu Jiangqing couldn't help but burped in front of her.

Wu looked disgusted and urged Nong'er, "Go and make some hangover soup for the master!"

Nong'er should leave, and Wu then helped him to the table and asked in a flattering and soft voice: "Master, why did you come back so late today?"

Xu Jiangqing forced his eyelids open and turned his head with difficulty to look at Wu: "It's because of the third room. I invited my eldest brother to listen to music and drink. After much persuasion, finally-"

"Has he relented? Is he willing to subsidize us?"

"Bah! He's such a miser that he only agreed to pay a hundred taels! A hundred taels! What can he do with it! Even Zhang'er's salary is eighty taels! This amount of money is really, really far from enough for us."

Wu's face was also a little stiff. It was true. However, there is a saying that something is better than nothing.

"By the way, didn't you go to look for your sister today? How's the progress?"

Xu Jiangqing did not forget to care about this matter during his remaining conscious period.

Wu looked at his expression and felt that this was a good opportunity to stir up trouble and fish in troubled waters: "Don't mention it, my nephew is very arrogant and looks down on the daughter of our Xu family.

What do you mean by passing the imperial examination? How many daughters from good families would come to him? Let us consider it carefully. He doesn't look down on her."

Rong originally wanted to take the initiative to admit his mistake, but when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he thought that it would be a good idea to push all the blame over there now.

"Asshole!!"

After drinking, Xu Jiangqing's face turned even redder because of anger, and he slapped the table with his hand: "Who is he? Even if he was glorious in the past, he is still a pariah now. What qualifications does he have to be arrogant with our Xu family!

If it wasn't for the third wife, I wouldn't even look down on them with my toes! All of them are lowlifes!

You are worse than pigs and dogs, and you dare to look down on the Xu Mansion!"

Wu didn't know whether he did it intentionally or not, but when she heard Xu Jiangqing's scolding, she always felt as if she was being dragged into it as well.

If he hadn't been drunk, Wu would have really suspected that he had said that to her on purpose.
