After lunch, Xu Zhi took Zheng Yuanyuan to say goodbye to Madam Shen, and then, accompanied by Feng Wan'er, they went from the garden to the place where carriages and horses were stored.

Feng Wan'er helped Xu Zhi to the carriage, and Xu Zhi said, "Sister, it's windy in here, you should go back quickly."

Feng Wan'er smiled and said, "Sister, I'll go back after I see you leave."

Watching the carriage drive away, Feng Wan'er sighed and said to Granny Lin, "Granny, Grandmother's birthday has passed. Let's find some time to tell Grandmother that we should move out."

Granny Lin sighed and said, "Yes, I never expected that the young ladies in the manor would value this Qingxin Xiaozhu so much."

After Feng Wan'er and Granny Lin returned, their luggage was placed in Qingxin Xiaozhu. Granny Lin didn't mind. Originally, her mistress had lived in Qingxin Xiaozhu before she got married. Who knew that over the years, Qingxin Xiaozhu had been left empty, and none of the young ladies in the mansion, whether born of the principal wife or not, had been able to live in this courtyard.

Who would have thought that after staying here for two days, relying on her connections in the mansion, Lin Mama knew that the young ladies in the mansion were using all sorts of tricks to get a place in this courtyard, and the old lady was so annoyed that she didn't let anyone in. In the end, she actually let Feng Wan'er move in.

Feng Wan'er is now the daughter of the third master of the Shen family, Shen Mingwan, the third young lady of the mansion. This third master is also a legendary figure in the Shen family.

Shen Lifu, the third master of the Shen family, was born of the same mother as Feng Wan'er. Before Feng Wan'er's mother got married, she had the best relationship with this third brother. Shen Lifu was a somewhat unrestrained person. He was intelligent and the best student among his brothers. Unfortunately, he was not interested in the imperial examinations and preferred to wander the world. By the time he was in his twenties, he had already gained a certain reputation in the martial arts world.

Shen Lifu's wife was someone he brought back from outside. Madam Shen was an open-minded person, and since Shen Lifu was willing, she respected his decision. Not long after the two got married in the mansion, Shen Lifu's wife became pregnant.

Shen Lifu's wife was a gentle and weak-willed person. Shen Lifu married her because he had once been in danger and his father-in-law had risked his life to save him. Before his death, his father-in-law's biggest worry was his orphaned daughter. Shen Lifu made a vow before his father-in-law's death that he would treat her well after marrying her, and only then did his father-in-law pass away.

After their marriage, Shen Lifei's wife lived a secluded life, and Shen Lifei himself was not often at home. He always felt that his wife was safe at home, with her mother, sister, and several sisters-in-law by her side, and that she should be living a good life.

Little did Shen Lifu know that in the inner quarters of the mansion, the most common thing was climbing the social ladder and stepping on the weak. Shen Lifu's wife came from a humble background and was not a particularly shrewd person. She was not good at socializing and even treated her mother-in-law with polite formalities. After Shen Lifu got married, he was not often at home, so the servants in the mansion inevitably treated this third wife of the mansion very poorly.

Shen Lifu's wife was pregnant, and her husband was not often at home. She was unable to relieve her depression. In the later stages of her pregnancy, she became extremely weak. In addition, Shen Lifu did not come back in time to give birth. Shen Lifu's wife died after giving birth to the child.

When Shen Lifu rushed back, his wife was already lying in the coffin. His daughter, who was born prematurely, cried so hard that her voice was barely louder than a newborn kitten. The doctor said that the child was born with congenital deficiencies and would not survive. Shen Lifu was heartbroken. After his wife was buried, he took the child and left.

Madam Shen always felt guilty. She felt that she had not taken good care of her third daughter-in-law. Her third daughter-in-law was gone, and her third son had disappeared without a trace with his newborn child. There had been no news of Shen Lifei for so many years.

It was because of this that Shen Wan'er was able to return under the name of Shen Lifu's daughter. Everyone in the mansion knew that the old lady's favorite was the third master. The third master, because his wife had passed away early, had taken his newborn daughter and gone to a distant place. The old lady was happiest that the third young lady was able to return.

Lin Mama had already told Feng Wan'er about this third uncle a long time ago. This time, she returned under the name of her third uncle's daughter, which was arranged by her mother.

After Shen Lifu left with his newborn daughter, he went to find Feng Wan'er's mother. At that time, Shen Lifu's daughter was already dying. Feng Wan'er's mother helped find many famous doctors, but the child could not be saved in the end.

Because of this, Shen Lifu became disheartened and went to the Great Buddha Temple in the capital to practice Buddhism. Although he did not shave his head, he no longer cared about worldly affairs.

Only Feng Wan'er's mother knew about these things. She knew that her third brother harbored resentment towards everyone in the family, but also hated himself for not taking good care of his wife. It was Shen Lifu's idea not to tell the family about these things. To this day, the rest of the Shen family still do not know that the once spirited third master of the Shen family was just a withered and emaciated monk in the Dafosi Temple.

Feng Wan'er had also met her taciturn third uncle at the Great Buddha Temple with her mother. This time, when Feng Wan'er faked her death and escaped, her mother naturally sent someone to the Great Buddha Temple to explain the situation and her plans to Shen Lifu.

With Lin Mama's help, Feng Wan'er returned to her own courtyard. Standing in the courtyard, looking at the surrounding scenery, Feng Wan'er said softly, "Mama, I don't want to stay here anymore. I want to leave."

Granny Lin said, "Miss, where can we go now? Even if we want to leave, we need to recover your health and find a place to stay before we can go."
