But the next second,

Aunt Man stood there in a daze.

As soon as she looked up, she saw the cake in front of Chen Wei. The colorful cake and the indescribable cream fragrance filled her face. A look of surprise flashed in Aunt Man's eyes.

Subconsciously, I wanted to open my mouth and ask what it was, but swallowed it back.

No matter what it is, it belongs to Chen Wei. Since it belongs to Chen Wei, wouldn't it be a joke for her to ask?

"You're quite leisurely, and you still have time to do other things here."

Aunt Man forced herself to look away and said with a pout, "Sister Shen doesn't know yet, right?"

"The Marquis stayed at my place last night. I was so tired that I just got up now."

After finishing speaking,

Aunt Man stared at Chen Wei with a victorious attitude, but found that Chen Wei had an indifferent expression. Even when she heard that the Marquis had favored her yesterday, she did not frown.

"I told you that the Marquis stayed at my place last night. Didn't you hear me?"

Chen Wei raised his eyes and glanced at Aunt Man: "I heard it."

"Then why do you still have that expression? What are you holding back?" Aunt Man was incredulous.

In fact, Xie Yuchuan did not visit her.

I just slept at her place yesterday.

No matter how she tried to seduce him, Xie Yuchuan didn't move at all, and even frowned from time to time, wondering what he was thinking about, which made Aunt Man very confused.

Now looking at Chen Wei's attitude, it is even more so.

How come Chen Wei has changed so much in just half a year? How come he has become so calm?

Chen Wei chuckled lightly, "Then what expression should I make? Jealous or furious?"

"you........."

"Auntie Man, I'm sorry to disappoint you. I don't care whether Xie Yuchuan favors you or not. I don't care. You don't have to come to my room to show off in the future. I don't want to hear it."

"There's no need for you to treat me as your rival for favor anymore, trying so hard to snatch Xie Yuchuan's affection away, wanting to see me rejected and abandoned. If you want it, just take it."

"Of course, if you really have the ability to make Xie Yuchuan kick me out of the mansion, I would be happy to do so, because this is what I have always been fighting for. I know that he will not let me out easily."

"If I want to leave on my own, I don't know how much effort it will take."

After saying this,

Chen Wei then left with the prepared cake.

She was very stable and calm, and even had a faint smile on her face.

Her words, actions, and even every move were telling Aunt Man that she really had no intention of competing with her for favor or status. If Aunt Man wanted it, she could just take it.

As long as you don't hang around in front of her, she won't even look at you.

How could this happen?

Aunt Man was shocked and confused.

She opened her eyes wide in shock, staring at Chen Wei's departing back, unable to figure out the reason: "What happened in the six months since I left the mansion? Why is it different?"

"Madam's attitude towards Chen Wei has changed."

"Aunt Zhao's attitude towards her has also changed."

"The Marquis has changed even more."

"Why does it feel like everything's turned upside down? Is Chen Wei crazy? Someone who's obsessed with monogamy actually says she doesn't care about the Marquis's favor???"

Chen Wei ignored the provocative Aunt Man, and was even less likely to answer the other party's doubts.

She only knew,

Today's birthday party,

She had to seize the opportunity.

Xie Yuchuan wanted to cut off her shop's livelihood, and forced her to return home to become a canary, to make her submit and compromise. It was absolutely impossible!

“Miss Shen.”

On the way to the inner-house stage, a voice suddenly called out to Chen Wei.

Miss Lu, who came to attend the birthday banquet of the old lady Hou, left the banquet very early and stayed not far from Chen Wei's residence with her maid.

Miss Lu stood under the shade of the tree, twisting her handkerchief in a somewhat tangled manner. She pursed her lips as if she wanted to say something to Chen Wei, but when she really wanted to say it, she struggled: "Well..."

"You...you promised me before, you said..."

Seeing the embarrassment and awkwardness on Miss Lu's face, Chen Wei took the initiative to take over the conversation: "You want to ask me if I still keep my promise to help you test the character of that young master?"

"Yes." Miss Lu's heart beat faster.

She didn't know what was going on, why did she get so nervous?

She was taught to be graceful and elegant by her mother since she was young.

He can remain calm and composed in any situation and is eloquent. Last time when he faced Qin Shuyu, he was able to retort her with just a few words, leaving Qin Shuyu at a loss for words.

But after experiencing the robbery by bandits, she had an indescribable feeling towards Chen Wei.

It seems like I have some respect, some admiration, and a desire to get closer.

possible........

Maybe it was because Chen Wei saved him, and in such a handsome and flamboyant way?

"I just saw the Dong family's carriage at the door." Miss Lu took a look at Chen Wei's face and said softly, "I have listened to you all this time and have not left the house."

"I never kept his appointment."

"Can you help me? I just want to see if he's really that mean."

This extremely polite attitude surprised Chen Wei a little.

Chen Wei remembered that when they first met, Miss Lu was very arrogant in front of her. Although she didn't show it on the surface, her contempt and disdain for her were still revealed in her heart.

Now, all of them are gone.

now,

Miss Lu's eyes revealed a hint of gratitude and admiration? Also, a hint of dependence?

Did the last horse bandit incident have such a huge impact on a young lady?

Chen Wei nodded and said gently, "Since I promised, I will help you. The men and women who came to the birthday banquet should be watching the opera now, so it will take some time for them to leave."

"Go back to the table first, I'll come find you later."

"What kind of character does that young master have? I will definitely help you find out today."

"Okay, then I'll go." Miss Lu bowed to Chen Wei and then looked at Chen Wei deeply. She just took two steps, stopped, and took two more steps forward.

Finally, he suddenly turned back.

He stuffed a bottle of ointment into Chen Wei's hand.

After leaving a message saying "This is for you", she hurried away with her maid.

Before Chen Wei could react, a porcelain bottle was stuffed into his arms with the words "Golden Wound Ointment" written on it.

This ointment is used to treat external injuries and bruises. No matter what kind of wound it is, it will not leave scars and the wound will heal very quickly. Because of its excellent efficacy, it is hard to find.

Looking at this bottle of precious ointment, Chen Wei smiled with a bitter taste in his heart.

like.........

It doesn't seem so powerless.

It seems like something has changed.

Maybe it's only a little bit, but this little bit is enough to make up for the motivation that was hit by Xie Yuchuan last night.
