Caught in a dilemma, Wen Chan had no choice but to order: "Qiuyue, go and ask mother for her opinion; Hongyu, go back to your room and keep an eye on the second young lady. Don't let anything happen to her in my yard!"
After receiving the order, the two of them went their separate ways.
Hongyu returned to her room, closed the door and breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at Wen Zhu, who was wearing a thin shirt and lazily sitting on the bed fiddling with the wood carving, he said, "Miss, I have said everything I need to say."
Wen Zhu nodded nonchalantly: "Thank you for your hard work." Then he responded with a casual "hmm".
Hongyu thought about it, and finally couldn't help asking: "Miss, why do you have to go out?"
Wen Zhu glanced at her and said, "What would you think if you were trapped in this space of a few meters square all day like me?"
Hongyu was stunned after hearing this, and after looking around, she couldn't help but feel that there was some truth in it.
In this way, it seems that Wen Zhu just couldn't stand the loneliness and had no other conspiracy.
Hongyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
All these reactions were noticed by the careful Wen Zhu, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Elsewhere, Qiuyue hurried back and headed straight for the main house. "Young Madam, Madam has said that the second young lady is a talent worth cultivating. The most important thing now is to take good care of her health so that we can have a child for you soon."
This means that Wen Zhu will be released.
Wen Chan had actually anticipated such a result, but she still felt a little uncomfortable when she heard it.
Qiuyue noticed her mistress's change of mood and immediately comforted her, "Young Madam, please relax. You are the only true eldest mistress in our family. The old lady doesn't have much say in things. As long as you are firm in your ideas, the whole family will act according to your wishes. If anyone dares to cause trouble, someone will naturally teach them a lesson on your behalf."
She and Madam Yun had exactly the same idea.
Hearing this, Wen Chan's mood finally improved: "Okay, let her out, give her some servant's clothes, and let her wear them every time she goes out!"
"Okay!" Qiuyue was quick and efficient. She quickly prepared the servant's clothes and sent them to Wenzhu.
Qiuyue didn't go in, but called Hongyu out, handed the clothes to her, conveyed Wen Chan's order, and then left.
Hongyu returned to the house and handed over the clothes in her hand.
Wen Zhu glanced at the clothes and smiled. It went pretty smoothly.
Next, in order to make the scene more realistic, Wen Zhu asked Hongyu to boil the medicinal soup for a few days before putting on servant's clothes and going out.
In summer, the grass and trees are lush, the flowers and trees are clearly layered, the rockery and flowing water complement each other, and walking among them feels like arriving in a paradise.
This was the first time Wen Zhu actually stepped out and saw the mansion with his own eyes.
Qiuyue, who was following behind from a distance, curled her lips in disdain and turned back to Liuyun Garden.
"Young Madam, you would die of laughter if you saw that. The way that country girl looks around is just like someone who has never seen the world."
Qiuyue's words showed undisguised contempt.
Wen Chan raised the corner of her mouth: "Have you made all the arrangements at home?"
Qiuyue nodded, a hint of malice suddenly flashing in her eyes: "Since she is wearing servant's clothes, she should do what a servant should do. Madam, don't worry, I have arranged everything."
Wen Chan smiled, as if she had already seen Wen Zhu being ordered around.
Doesn't she want freedom?
But freedom comes at a price!
Since you don’t want to stay at home, go out and do something!
"She has to serve the prince at night, so the servants should be careful."
After saying this, Wen Chan laughed again.
Being ordered around by servants in the Marquis's mansion during the day and having to serve others at night is worse than the lowest concubine!
Qiuyue also joined in with a few laughs: "Yes."
Here, the master and servant don’t know what they will face.
The two walked around the garden, finally breathing fresh air and enjoying the beautiful scenery. Wen Zhu felt a long-lost sense of relaxation.
Hongyu was also very happy: "Although we can only move around in the back garden, this garden of the Marquis' Mansion is so beautiful, much better than the Yun family's!"
Wen Zhu smiled slightly and said nothing.
After all, the Marquis of Changping's Mansion is a large family. Even if Yun Changliang is the Minister of Revenue, he cannot be compared with such a wealthy family.
But the beautiful scenery is secondary. She also needs to find a way to get close to Fu Yu.
"Hey! You two!"
A sharp voice suddenly came over. The two looked towards the sound and saw a thin woman with a stern face pointing at them: "Why don't you come over! You still want to get beaten?!"
They looked at the maid's uniforms on their bodies and had no choice but to move forward.
"Have you finished the garden work? You're actually slacking off here! What's the matter? Do you think the mansion is your own home?"
Mrs. Wu glared at me with her inverted triangle eyes, full of ferocity. "Hurry up and clear the branches from the garden! If I catch you slacking off again, you'll be in big trouble!"
"Okay..." Turning around, Hongyu whispered, "Girl, let's just pretend."
Wen Zhu ignored him and went back to work seriously.
There were a lot of thorny branches on the ground. Hongyu picked them up very carefully for fear of hurting her hands, but Wenzhu didn't care and reached out to grab them.
Every time she grabbed a handful, several wounds would be left on her hands, which made Hongyu feel uneasy.
She didn't know that these pains were nothing to Wen Zhu in his previous life.
When Wen Zhu thought about her injury and the possibility that Wen Chan would have to go through it again, he worked even harder.
Hongyu saw it and had no choice but to work honestly.
Although it is called collecting branches, it is actually not easy to do.
Her waist bent down and then straightened up again. Soon, Hongyu felt that her waist was about to fall apart.
Finally exhausted, Hongyu glanced behind her and said happily, "The old woman is gone!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he threw all the branches in his arms to the ground and sat down directly: "Finally, I can take a break. This job is simply not something a human can do!"
Wen Zhu also sat down to catch his breath and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.
I opened my palm and checked it, only to see that it was covered with tiny blood spots and scratches, a horrible sight.
Hongyu next to her took a breath, but thought that it was not her who asked Wen Zhu to do this, so even if he was injured, it had nothing to do with her, and she felt relieved.
At this time, the voices of the little girls came from not far away: "The old marquis is really impatient. The prince has just been married for a few days, and he is forcing him to make friends!"
"What do you know? You have to make friends early. The prince has won the top spot in the imperial examination three times in a row, and the entire court is paying attention to him! If you don't quickly build up your network, how will you be able to thrive in officialdom in the future?"
Listening to the discussions over there, Hongyu also became interested: "The old marquis is leading the way, the prince really has a bright future! Miss, do you think the prince will become prime minister in the future?"
Being able to enter the upper class and become a prime minister in power is the dream of every scholar.
