Yu Zhuoran and Heng Mu just stared at each other. When she found out that he was lying to her a while ago, she cried all day and was heartbroken. But now, after so much time, she found that she had forced herself to let it go. When she saw him again, she felt angry and resentful. Now that she knew it was a misunderstanding, she felt happy in her heart, but she didn't know what to do.

"I really don't know." Yu Zhuoran lay on Lin Jin's shoulder, at a loss and afraid. She still missed him in her heart, but she always felt that there was something she couldn't get over, and she couldn't be the same as before. "How could this happen?"

She was about to let him go, how come it suddenly became a misunderstanding?

Heng Mu looked at Yu Zhuoran nervously. After hearing these words, he felt disappointed: "Zhuoran, I, you, you give me another chance, how about giving me another chance?"

"I really know I was wrong. I shouldn't have hidden these from you. I shouldn't have been afraid that you would laugh at me so I didn't explain everything to you clearly." Heng Mu wanted to get closer to her, but his feet seemed to be rooted to the spot.

If it was someone else who was released from the mansion to become a free man, and even had his identity arranged, he would have been too happy to wait, but he was thinking about committing suicide. He didn't dare to let Yu Zhuoran know, thinking he was too cowardly, so the current misunderstanding was caused.

He really regretted it now. If he had been obedient and left home earlier, he would have passed the imperial examination and married Yu Zhuoran.

"Zhuoran, I, I know I was wrong. I don't ask you to forgive me now. Don't be angry with me, and don't be annoyed with me. I will marry you after I pass the imperial examination in two years. If you like someone else in the past two years, then forget it today. This matter is all my fault, but please don't..." Heng Mu choked up at the end, "Don't blame me, and don't be so cruel to me."

"I'm cruel? What did I say that I'm cruel? It's all your fault." Yu Zhuoran covered her face and cried, "You once said that you would be honest with me. I never doubted what you said. Even if you were gone for several months and didn't send me a single word, I never blamed you."

How many people laughed at her secretly at that time, saying that she was too proud and looked down upon that poor and remote place. She saved a young man and sent herself there. Now that he was gone, how could they remember her? It was obvious that she and he were in love but ended in courtesy, but she suffered a lot of criticism after he left.

If not, why would her father entrust her to the Prime Minister's residence, and why would she leave her hometown and come to the capital city a hundred miles away? A place with so many rules and regulations could not be as comfortable as her home.

"How come now that you say that I am cruel?" Yu Zhuoran knew that he felt wronged, but did she not feel wronged? After her father died, she originally wanted to come to the capital to find him, but the capital was so big, she had no power and influence, so where could she start?

She was staying in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but she was also living under someone else's roof. She wanted to ask for help to find him but she didn't dare to ask. She could only hope to meet him in the capital one day. Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore and borrowed the power of the Prime Minister's Mansion to ask the government.

"I said something wrong, I said something wrong, don't cry, it makes me sad." Heng Mu looked at the tears in the corners of her eyes and felt his heart broken. He used to laugh at adults who were always cautious, but now he has become such a person.

Lin Jin took Yu Zhuoran's hand and patted it: "The misunderstandings here have been made clear. You two should have a good chat. Don't act on impulse, but just follow your heart. I'll go find Nian'er. If he dares to bully you, none of the girls in my yard will let him off."

She knew that neither of them had bad tempers, so she could rest assured that they could talk alone. There were some things that they were not convenient to say if she was here.

Lin Jin took Lianyi out, and Shi Nian came back just in time and was picked up by her and taken out. It howled twice, but no one knew why. It was tired from playing and wanted to go back to sleep.

"Be good. I'll steam some canned food for you later." Lin Jin rubbed him a few times to prevent the brat from going in and ruining other people's time together.

As soon as Shi Nian heard Cantou howl twice, he adjusted himself to a more comfortable position in Lin Jin's arms and began to snoring. Lin Jin was used to this and it would be easy to coax him as long as he was given food.

Lianyi was also an elder in the mansion, so she naturally recognized Heng Mu. She was full of surprise, not expecting that the man Yu Zhuoran had been thinking about was actually Heng Mu.

“Madam, do you think this is what people often call destiny?” Lianyi was still looking back, wanting to see it more carefully.

Heng Mu had already gained Song Shiqiu's trust in the mansion, so the servants in the mansion respected him. He didn't put on airs or act arrogantly, and he had a good relationship with other people. Lianyi was happy from the bottom of her heart to see that he had found the person he liked.

"Maybe, but fate and everything like that all depends on themselves." Lin Jin could see that the two of them really liked each other, it was just a misunderstanding. It would be a real pity if they broke up like this.

Lianyi felt envious but also a little disappointed. They were all house-born children, unlike Hengmu. They were slaves from birth, and had to get their master's consent no matter who they wanted to marry. When they got older and were no longer suitable for working in the mansion, they were assigned to the farm.

Although they have a monthly salary, that only allows them to live a better life on weekdays. Her parents were slaves before. They were sold again after their previous master died. They could only sign a death contract. If the master does not let them go, you cannot buy back your freedom even if you pay with money.

"Are you envious? Come to think of it, your age is actually right. Do you have a lover?" Lin Jin took in her expression. Although Lianyi was only in her teens, she couldn't look at this matter from the perspective of the future. Otherwise, if she delayed the girl's development, people would pick and choose Lianyi because of her age in the future.

She is not afraid of rumors, but not everyone can accept it. Everyone has the life they want.

Lian Yi quickly shook her head: "No, I don't want to get married, I want to serve my wife for the rest of my life!"

She did envy Heng Mu, but now she had thought it through clearly. She was different from Heng Mu. She was not free. She had been a slave since birth. She didn't want her children to be slaves all their lives. If one day she could be released from the mansion, it would not be too late for her to think about these things.

If not... then I can just live my life like this, and it would be nice not to delay my children.

Lin Jin was stunned. She had clearly seen envy in Lian Yi's eyes just now, like a young girl in love. How could she change so suddenly? "You will serve me for the rest of your life? Silly girl, why do you want to serve me for the rest of your life? When you are old enough, you will naturally leave. You are a good girl, there is no need to waste your time here."

"Madam?" Lianyi's heart trembled. Was this what she thought?

"What's wrong? Don't think too much about everything. When you turn eighteen, I will let you leave the house. You can save more money for yourself in these two years, and then buy yourself a house or something." Lin Jin was worried that she was too young and was afraid of being cheated. Although eighteen years old was considered a grown-up girl in this era, she was not old enough to be criticized.

After Lian Yi heard clearly what Lin Jin said, she knelt down in front of Lin Jin and kowtowed: "Thank you, madam. Thank you, madam!"

She never dared to imagine that there would be such a day. There were actually only a few paths for them. Either be together with someone of the same status as herself, or become the master's concubine, which would be considered as a way to barely escape slavery. However, this was simply impossible in the Prime Minister's Mansion. The only thing left was to be given away as a gift.

But no matter which path she took, she didn't want to go. She originally thought that she would just do her own job honestly, and when she got older, she might be assigned other tasks, or if she was lucky, she would have a few maids to take care of her. Although they were called maids, in fact they just meant letting those maids do the work, and she would only need to take care of herself in her old age.
