Ever since Wu Ziya left, the maids and servants in the main courtyard have been marginalized. They were basically sent to do rough chores, and only two or three maids were left in the courtyard to do the sweeping.
Aunt Jia was bossing the yard around, sometimes cleaning one side poorly, sometimes leaving that side in disarray.
The servant was so angry that she jumped up and down: "If you have nothing to do, go back to your own yard. Why are you ordering me around here? No matter how clean it is, this is still Madam's yard! You can never live here!"
Concubine Jia's face twisted. "I want to come, what's it to you? I'm the master now, you're the servant, can't I torment you all I want? Who told your wife to make me miscarry? Those are my two children! My son and daughter! Will you compensate me? Huh?"
The servant looked at the face in front of her that suddenly enlarged. The whites of the eyes were extremely scary. She swallowed her saliva in fear and said, "Auntie... Auntie, if you like it, then... whatever, whatever... I'll go clean it up."
The servant squatted down, avoided Aunt Jia's sight, turned around and ran away.
Haitang looked at Aunt Jia who was going crazy outside and reached out to close the window.
Her maid asked curiously, "Aren't you curious about what happened between Aunt Jia and Madam Wu?"
Haitang looked at the maid with a smile and asked, "If I ask you, will you tell me?"
The maid looked embarrassed, hesitant to speak. Seeing her like this, Haitang felt bad for her: "I knew you couldn't say it, but you still asked me if I was curious. Are you feeling very uncomfortable now?"
The maid nodded, her eyes full of the thought, "Ask me now. If you ask me, I will tell you. If the Marquis blames me later, I can say that it was you who said it. Anyway, you won't be punished."
But Haitang completely ignored her gaze. After noticing that Aunt Jia had left, she opened the window and smiled at the servant who was wiping her tears in the yard, saying, "Old lady, I have a stack of snacks here. I can't finish them. You can take some."
The maid wiped her tears, smiled again, and bowed to Haitang through the window: "Thank you, Auntie."
Haitang glanced at the maid with pride. "What's the point of arguing with others?" As for a woman, as long as she has captured a man's heart, no matter how others act, it's useless. Moreover, it's best not to ask about things you shouldn't know.
Even if you get into trouble, you will still say "Ignorance is not a crime".
But if you know something you shouldn't know, you will only die faster.
When Lu Yan came back, he happened to see the maid carrying out snacks. He stood in the yard and said to Haitang, "You have a kind heart."
Haitang propped up her chin in front of the window and smiled: "If I eat more, I will get fat, and then the Marquis will dislike me."
Her eyes curved, now less worldly and more like Qin Wan's.
Lu Yan held onto the window and jumped in, frightening Haitang so much that she stepped back repeatedly. After being pulled into his arms, she punched his shoulder with her fist, "My Lord, you're so mean."
"I have something even worse, do you like it?" Lu Yan hugged Haitang and pressed her onto the couch.
The maid looked at the bright sky, blushed, turned around and went out, closed the door, and then closed the window from the outside.
The maid took the snacks, closed the main courtyard door, and sat on the steps outside to eat the snacks.
Bai Wanyi saw this scene when she came back. She frowned and was about to say something when she heard shouting coming from the main courtyard.
Her expression changed again and again: "In broad daylight! Shameless!"
The servant said with a smile: "In this mansion, the Marquis is still the boss. Even the Madam can't order him around, and the concubine can't do anything about it either."
Bai Wanyi had never expected that even a servant would be so sarcastic to her!
Bai Wanyi slapped her in the face and said, "Is this the person you Wu family raised? The master doesn't act like a master, and the servant doesn't act like a servant!"
After being scolded in the Wu family, the servant girl didn't dare to say a word at all. If she resisted, Bai Wanyi would take the opportunity to get angry again, which would give her more excuse to scold the Wu family.
"What are you doing fighting in broad daylight?" Lu Yan put on his clothes, opened the gate, and saw Bai Wanyi and his face darkened: "At this time of the day, you don't go to the shop, but show off at home."
"I am the mistress of this house. Where else should I go if not home?" Bai Wanyi could not hear the sarcasm in his words, or even if she heard it, she did not care. Her eyes fell on the woman in disheveled clothes behind Lu Yan.
Even though Lu Yan has many women now, Bai Wanyi's heart still aches when she sees him being so intimate with other women.
She covered her chest and almost couldn't breathe. Things had been going wrong recently. When she returned home, she had to face this scene again. She suddenly regretted it. What was she doing in this world?
She spent the whole day thinking about traveling through time. With her intelligence and talent, she must have lived a very comfortable life. This most special existence must have been the white moonlight, the cinnabar mole in everyone's heart. Everyone wanted her, everyone loved her and respected her, but now...
A mess.
Bai Wanyi's body swayed and he fainted.
"Wanyi!"
Lu Yan exclaimed, caught her, and picked her up. He shouted in panic: "Call a doctor!"
Lu Yan carried Bai Wanyi into the main courtyard. When the doctor arrived, he asked repeatedly, "Doctor, what happened to my wife?" before he even finished taking her pulse.
The doctor frowned and said, "You're just worrying too much. It's too much strain. Madam, please get more rest."
The doctor wrote out a prescription and left.
Lu Yan turned and glared at Chu Yun: "How did you take care of my wife?"
Chu Yun complained: "Madam has been traveling a lot lately, and the shops are not making much money. Madam is very worried."
Chu Yun naturally didn't say that the land that Bai Wanyi asked the Fourth Prince to farm had a poor harvest, and he was given the cold shoulder by the Fourth Prince.
Now I have to make paper, and not only do I have to do everything myself, but I also have to be busy with the shop's affairs. Can't I be more hardworking and thoughtful?
Seeing that she was aggrieved, Lu Yan softened his heart, took her hand and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell at you, I just couldn't help it."
Chu Yun's face was full of understanding: "This servant understands the Marquis's feelings for his wife. You have been together for eight years at the border, sharing life and death. Your feelings will only grow deeper with each quarrel. How can you really be angry?"
Lu Yan stood up and hugged Chu Yun, patted her on the back, and then let her go: "You must be very busy recently, right? Go back and rest, I'm here."
"Yes." Chu Yun bent his knees slightly and turned to leave.
Lu Yan turned around and met Bai Wanyi's wide-open eyes. He was momentarily flustered, but then he realized what he was panicking about. There was no one in this house that he couldn't touch.
Lu Yan thought so, and his heart settled down. He turned around, brought tea, and helped Bai Wanyi up: "Come and have some tea."
"You're so disgusting!" Bai Wanyi grabbed the teacup and splashed it on Lu Yan's face. She got up and walked out. Just as she walked out the door, she paused, turned around and looked at Lu Yan, saying coldly, "Since you're interested in Chu Yun, then you can raise her as your concubine. She won't have to follow me out in public anymore. You two should just stay home and be intimate with each other!"
