Moreover, he knew Mr. Ouyang's wish. Now that things had come to this, he had become indifferent to the small and large three-yuan awards, but he hoped that Mr. Ouyang could get his wish. There were still two months left, and he was willing to give it another shot.
Man proposes, God disposes; he has lived up to Mr. Ouyang's expectations.
The letter also stated that he felt extremely guilty for not being able to take care of Mianmian during this time, and that he still needed Mianmian to help him accompany his mother and take care of the Marquis's residence. He remembered all her kindness and promised to treat her well with all his heart when he returned.
Chen Mianmian held the letter and read it carefully, over and over again, three times in total.
It took me the time it takes to burn an incense stick to read those few hundred words.
Liu Xiangning, who was standing to the side, teased with a sly look, "Master, if you keep looking, you'll see through the paper."
Chen Mianmian glanced at it, "Haven't beaten you up for a few days, and you're making fun of your master?"
Liu Xiangning raised an eyebrow. "This servant has been practicing martial arts very hard. Master may not be able to beat this servant."
Chen Mianmian raised an eyebrow. "So, you dare to fight back?"
Liu Xiangning's smug smile froze on her face. "...No...I wouldn't dare..."
"Then tell me, can I beat you up?"
"……able."
Shen Mianmian then looked away, and while reading the letter, she said, "I was looking at the young master's handwriting. The young master's handwriting has changed."
"?" Liu Xiangning was taken aback. "The font has changed?"
"Yes, I used to imitate the Crown Prince's handwriting to learn characters, and I practiced it every day. I knew the Crown Prince's handwriting very well, so I could tell at a glance that the characters had changed."
Liu Xiangning leaned closer to take a look and saw that the young master's calligraphy was beautiful and elegant. "How has it changed?"
“His handwriting used to be delicate and neat, but now it’s grand and profound,” Chen Mianmian said with a smile in her eyes. “It’s a great change. He’s really… getting better and better.”
The last few words were spoken softer and softer, filled with pride.
Seeing her master happy, Liu Xiangning also became happy. "Congratulations, Master! Your good days are yet to come. No, Master is already enjoying your good days now."
"What happens next?" Shen Mianmian thought of her parents and younger brother, and nodded. "I hope my dream can come true."
Five days later.
A sudden downpour.
The heavy rain continued intermittently for two days and three nights, and the temperature dropped sharply, making the house damp and cold.
In the bedroom, Chen Mianmian vaguely heard Liu Xiangning's voice outside, as if she was calling on the maid to move something.
She rubbed her arms and went outside. Sure enough, she saw two maids carrying in a large basin-like object with a perforated metal cover on top.
Chen Mianmian stared at the people carrying the basins, wondering to herself—what are these things?
Liu Xiangning came to her master's side. "Master, this is the brazier that Granny Li asked me to bring. The temperature has dropped sharply these past few days, and Madam caught a cold, which scared Granny Li so much that she hurriedly prepared the brazier. She also prepared one for you. Granny Li also said that when using the brazier, you must open the window a little crack, otherwise you may get poisoned."
Shen Mianmian was worried about carbon monoxide poisoning, but after hearing Li Mama's advice, she felt relieved.
Ancient houses couldn't be sealed as well as modern houses, and they were already drafty. Adding a window should have solved the problem.
Chen Mianmian asked, "Has Madam caught a cold? Have you called a doctor?"
Liu Xiangning said, "Master, don't worry. We've called a doctor, and he prescribed some medicine. He said that once you take it, everything will be fine and it won't harm the baby in your womb."
"That's good."
.
Fortunately, the heavy rain stopped the next day.
The temperature has risen considerably, but it's still not as high as before.
It's refreshing, with a hint of autumn.
Shen Mianmian never expected that this sharp drop in temperature would not knock out the madam, but would knock out the young mistress!
