When Su Peisheng came to Geng's room to deliver a message, Geng was still embroidering the sachet, and Lülan stood beside her in a panic.

Suddenly, Madam Geng stood up and bowed to Su Peisheng, saying, "Please wait a moment, sir, so I can do my hair and makeup before I can serve the Prince."

After Lülan picked out the best jewelry she had brought with her, Geng shook her head and said lightly, "You don't need to wear these. Just comb your hair neatly and touch up your face powder."

Green Orchid, not understanding her meaning, advised, "Princess, look at how eye-catching Princess Wang's attire is. You shouldn't be too plain."

Madam Geng glanced at her reflection in the bronze mirror and said, "Although I don't know why Madam Wang was sent back, I can imagine that her jeweled headdress won't do any good. Master has been working hard for several days and just needs some relaxation, so there's no need for him to bother dressing up."

Lülan then fell silent, combed Geng's hair a little, applied some perfume, and helped her out.

When Madam Geng arrived at Fourth Master's room, she saw him leaning back in his chair with his eyes closed, but his brows were still furrowed.

Geng tiptoed behind Fourth Master, raised her delicate fingers and placed them on his neck, slowly kneading it.

Fourth Master remained silent, letting Madam Geng knead his neck and shoulders. Gradually, his slightly furrowed brows relaxed.

"Your technique is quite professional," the Fourth Master finally asked. He didn't have a deep impression of Madam Geng. This woman had been in his household for almost two years, always remaining silent, and her appearance was only of average quality.

"I grew up with my maternal grandmother since I was a child. My grandmother's father was skilled in massage and muscle-relaxing techniques. I learned this family technique from my grandmother. Because my father was a military general, he inevitably suffered more injuries than others. I would massage him to relieve his pain." Geng said slowly, in an extremely gentle and touching tone.

Fourth Master felt all his fatigue gradually slip away from his body under the skillful caresses of Madam Geng's hands, leaving him feeling incredibly refreshed.

That evening, Lady Geng was favored.

Fourth Master came twice in total. The pent-up frustration that had been building up inside him for days was gradually released with each thrust.

Fearing that her cries might be unrefined and displease the Fourth Master, Geng bit down hard on the blanket, and soft moans slowly escaped from the corners of her mouth.

The next day, Madam Geng got up early in the morning to help the Fourth Master change his clothes and wash up before returning to her room with the help of Green Lan to continue her nap.

As the mistress and her servant reached the back corridor of the inn, they encountered Zhuyun, Wang's maid, fetching water for her mistress. Zhuyun was already displeased because her mistress had been sent back by the Fourth Master the previous night. Although Wang told her it was because of her menstrual period, she still felt uneasy about Geng, who had benefited from it. She felt that Geng had stolen Wang's opportunity, and her eyes revealed a very contemptuous look.

Therefore, given Zhu Yun's status, she should have curtsied and greeted Madam Geng, but she only slightly bowed and said nothing before walking past Madam Geng.

"Princess, this Zhu Yun is really something. You can't always be so lenient with them," Green Orchid couldn't help but say indignantly.

"Alright, she's just a servant. You'll come with me to see Sister Wang later. I don't know why she was sent back yesterday. We'll go out together to serve our master; we can't just ignore her like this," Geng said gently.

"Princess, when that Princess Wang was in the manor, she never gave you a smile. She just thought she was as beautiful as an angel," Green Lan pouted. Madam Geng was always kind to them, which was why she dared to say that.

"Alright, you silly girl, you should be more magnanimous. I came out to serve the Fourth Master with Princess Wang, and we've been sisters for two years now. I should at least go and greet him." Madam Geng made up her mind and didn't allow Lülan to say anything more.

As for Madam Wang, ever since she was sent back by the Fourth Master yesterday because of her supposed uncleanliness, she had been heartbroken and hadn't slept a wink all night. What angered her even more was that Madam Geng, whom she had always looked down upon, had taken her place, making her even more anxious, restless, and resentful.

"Princess, don't be angry. Once your period is over, the master will naturally summon you to serve him. That Lady Geng is only temporarily favored." Seeing that Madam Wang was unhappy, Die'er could only comfort her in this way.

Just then, Madam Geng suddenly arrived, standing at the door with a big smile on her face. It was unclear whether she had heard what they had just said.

Die'er's face tightened, and she immediately said to Madam Wang, "Princess, Princess Geng has come to see you."

Wang turned her head and saw Geng standing at the door. She was startled, but immediately stood up, forced a smile, and took a few steps with Die'er's help to greet the guest, saying, "Oh, what brings you here, Sister Geng?"

Geng immediately went to greet her, took Wang's hand, and said affectionately, "Sister, I heard you weren't feeling well and I was worried about you. Sister, are you feeling better?"

A hint of embarrassment flashed in Madam Wang's eyes. After a moment's thought, she said, "It's nothing. I just caught a cold and was afraid of passing on my illness to Fourth Master, so I came back."

Upon hearing this, Madam Geng immediately showed a look of worry and respect, and said, "Sister, please take good care of yourself. It's inconvenient to be traveling. Has the master invited a doctor to examine you?"

When Madam Geng asked this question, Madam Wang was speechless. She could only force a smile and say, "It's nothing serious. I can rest in the house and I'll be fine. When you're traveling, there's no need to call a doctor."

After saying a few more words to Wang about taking care of her health, Geng took her leave and returned to her own room.

"Look at her arrogance! She just spent one night with the master, and she's already showing off." Zhu Yun spat at Geng's retreating figure. The moment Geng turned around, Wang's expression changed, and upon hearing Zhu Yun's words, she became even more displeased.

Green Orchid helped Madam Geng back to her room and immediately told another maid, Cui'er, who had come with her, to fetch breakfast. She also poured Madam Geng a cup of tea and couldn't help but say, "Your Highness kindly went to see that Madam Wang, but her maid's face was even more unpleasant than hers. Your Highness talked to her for so long, but she wasn't even given a sip of tea. Your Highness, why bother to befriend such a person?"

"Her maid has no manners, and you think she has no manners either? How dare you criticize Princess Wang!" Madam Geng had already gotten up early and then spent so much time talking to Madam Wang, so she was already feeling a bit weak. When she said this, her body went limp, but luckily, Lülan was quick and caught her.

"Princess, please sit down. I was just angry, please don't be upset." Green Lan immediately apologized. She was a maid who came with Madam Geng as part of her dowry, and she was in the same situation as Nianxue.
