Does this mean she hasn't given up on Ding Youtian yet?

Jane Ning was inexplicably angry. Why was she obsessed with the father of her four children when she could be obsessed with anyone else? Was it possible that the idea of ​​a young girl loving an older man was also popular in ancient times?

That's not right. Usually, an uncle should be a wealthy man. Ding Youtian is not even a local rich man in the countryside. Is Meixiang crazy?

Rather than thinking about Ding Youtian, it is better to think about Huo Jincheng. Not only is he a widower with a wealthy background, but thinking about him at least gives you the advantage of being close to him. As long as Meixiang treats A'man sincerely, why worry about not being able to deal with Huo Jincheng?

Even if she's a concubine, it's better than living with Ding Youtian, right?

Jian Ning knocked on the window in annoyance and walked to the door: "It's getting late, wash Ah Man and take her to bed."

"Why are you drawing your eyebrows so late at night?"

In the end, she couldn't help it, so she said this and turned around to get some water for the big girl and the others to wash their faces.

Meixiang was startled by her sudden appearance, and her face turned red with embarrassment at what she said next. When Jian Ning left, she covered her chest and let out a sigh, then grabbed a handkerchief and wiped her face carefully before getting up to look for Ah Man.

Several children were now gathered around Brother Qiu in the yard. Blind Liu was also staring at Brother Qiu with great interest. Ding Youtian took advantage of the moment when Ma Fuquan was thinking about his move to tell him Brother Qiu's origins.

Blind Liu stroked his beard and smiled, "If what the old blind man predicted is correct, this snake can understand human speech. Given time, it can evolve into a viper, and eventually into a two-headed dragon."

"Could it be from the Gou Lan Yao Village on the other side of the barbarians?" When Ding Youtian was young, he heard Liu the Blind tell the legendary story of the Gou Lan Yao Village. The locals were good at taming snakes.

When Ma Fuquan heard about Gou Lan Yao Village, he looked up at his master and apprentice. Their special police team had once traveled thousands of miles to Gou Lan Yao Village to capture criminals in Jiangyong County, Yongzhou City, Hunan Province. The local people were indeed tough in the past.

When Brother Qiu heard Ding Youtian mention Gou Lan Yao Village, he crawled over quickly and looked at him with his head raised.

"You evil creature, if you want to go back, just go on your own. Why are you looking at me?" Ding Youtian thought to himself, doesn't Brother Qiu know how to fly? Although Gou Lan Yao Village is not within the borders of Dayan Kingdom, it is not far from Dingjia Village. It only takes two days to ride a fast horse, so flying would probably only take half a day.

Brother Qiu's eyes showed a trace of sadness. He shook his head and crawled back.

"A'man, come here and take a shower with me. It's time to go to bed." Meixiang came over and stood on the corridor, waving at A'man. She was now very comfortable calling A'man.

Seeing her, Erniu was the first to glare at her, and Daniu and Sanniu also looked at her sideways. Jian Ning brought out a basin of water and shouted at them, "Come here, wash your faces and hands, and go to bed early."

Meixiang led Ah Man to the kitchen, and Erniu spat at her: "Ugly!"

Ah Man turned his head and asked, "Who are you calling ugly?"

She originally meant to ask Erniu who was ugly, but Erniu mistakenly thought she was calling herself ugly and said, "You are ugly, both of you are ugly!"

"Jia Jia!" Jian Ning had squatted down, but upon hearing this, she stood up again and pulled Erniu to the porch. "Who did you learn to be so sharp-tongued? Ah Man and Mei Xiang are our guests, and we shouldn't be so rude to them. If Mommy took you to visit someone else's house, and the girls there scolded you like that, would you be happy?"

Erniu shook her head, but whispered in dissatisfaction: "But, but she wants to be my stepmother, she seduced Daddy."

Jian Ning's face darkened. "You're getting more and more rude. Is this what a child should say? Let's go to mother's room later. I'll talk to you properly. Come and wash your face first."

Ah Man was very angry, but when she heard Jian Ning scold her, she stopped talking and followed Mei Xiang to the kitchen.

"Sister Meixiang, what is seduction? Do you really want to be Erniu and the others' stepmother?"

Meixiang glanced outside, signaling her to be quiet. She prepared some water for washing her face and led Ah Man to the backyard. Then she whispered, "Don't listen to her nonsense. She's just jealous that we're from the capital and prettier than she is. Especially Miss, you're prettier than all three of them. Their mother doesn't even allow us to call you Miss, saying that in her house, we have to abide by her rules. Do you know why?"

"Why?"

Meixiang curled her lips. "It's because they are country people with low status. Their status is not even comparable to that of a young lady, let alone a servant. If a servant calls you young lady every day, they will feel uncomfortable and think that the young lady is of noble status, which makes them look lowly. What else could it be?"

"But that's not what my aunt told me."

"Oh, Miss, how could she tell you the truth? I am your servant, how can I not think about you and be on your side? Others won't think about you in everything like I do. Only when you are well can I be well. Think about it, isn't that the truth?"

Ah Man nodded, not quite understanding.

Meixiang washed her hands and face, and then filled another basin with water for washing her feet. After carefully rubbing her feet clean, she placed Ah Man's feet on her thighs, took a dry towel to wipe the water off her feet, and then she leaned over to smell Ah Man's feet.

"Well, it smells good after taking a shower."

Ah Man was amused by her and giggled: "Sister Meixiang, don't your feet smell?"

"I think even the lady's farts are fragrant. If anyone dares to say that the lady's feet are smelly, I will be the first to disagree."

"Then I'll fart for you to smell." Ah Man laughed even more happily.

Meixiang glanced guiltily towards the kitchen and lowered her voice, "Young lady, please keep to yourself what I said tonight. Don't tell anyone else. Remember that?"

She carried Ah Man back to the west room. Da Niu and the others were still washing their feet in the front yard. When she finished washing and returned to the room, she saw that Da Niu and San Niu had also returned. They were both sitting on Ah Man's bed. Ah Man was playing with them and was very happy.

Alas, Meixiang sighed secretly, her young master had at least eight hundred tricks up his sleeve, but why was her young lady so heartless that she would just turn her back and play with them.

It is impossible for the young lady to inherit her son's personality. She can only inherit it from her mother, who is from a different race.

But it’s better if the young lady is simple-minded, she will be easier to deceive, isn’t it?

Meixiang was still very confident that she could control the young lady. She opened her dressing box, untied her hair, and slowly combed her long hair in front of the mirror with a comb.

Ah Man and the others were twirling the flower ropes for a while when Er Niu came back. Her eyes were red, and it was obvious she had been crying. She came in and apologized to Ah Man as soon as she entered the room: "Sister Ah Man, I shouldn't have quarreled with you. Can you forgive me?"

"Yes, I can forgive you. I didn't argue with you. I just wanted to know who you were calling ugly. You called Sister Meixiang ugly before, but Sister Meixiang is not ugly at all. Can you please not call her ugly next time?"

Erniu turned her head to look at Meixiang, who was also staring at herself in the mirror. Although she was wearing makeup, the girl in the mirror was still quite pretty. She was almost falling in love with herself.

Humph, he actually called her ugly. It's obvious that he is jealous of her good looks.

Erniu still didn't want to admit her mistake to Meixiang. She turned her head and nodded to Ah Man, "Well, I won't say anything."

"Come on, pinky promise. It only counts if you pinky promise." Ah Man stretched out his little finger.
