Jixiang looked at the lychee cake and said, "Girl, eat it quickly!"
After knowing her thoughts, Wen Zhu specially left some for her so that she could enjoy it slowly.
After closing the inner door, Wen Zhu picked up a wooden carved rabbit from the window with a smile on his face.
My dear sister, you are really...
She chuckled softly, her hand involuntarily stroking the rabbit's round body.
but……
How did Shen Rang know Chen Zongwen?
All kinds of thoughts flooded her mind, making her unable to find a clue for a while.
Wen Zhu shook his head and sighed, then turned and looked out the window.
At the same time, Wen Chan came to the courtyard of Manager Wang.
Before I even stepped into the gate of the yard, I could hear bursts of shouting and beating.
She rushed in hurriedly and saw Chunmei pressed on a bench, her pants stained with blood.
Seeing her come in, Steward Wang stopped them and said, "The young lady is here."
Seeing Chunmei's miserable state, Wen Chan was so angry that her body was shaking: "This is too much! How can you punish me without my permission?!"
Chunmei is the maid who came with the bride!
He was so cruel to a maid that he simply didn't take her seriously.
"Young Madam, please think twice. I am only following the orders of the Old Madam, and I have the authority to deal with the servants in the mansion. If you accuse me of imposing punishment without authorization, I cannot bear the reputation."
Although he saluted respectfully, there was no respect in his tone.
Since his actions were well-founded and were carried out under the old lady's name, it was difficult for Wen Chan to refute him.
She took a deep breath and said calmly, "She's already injured so badly, if she continues, she might become disabled. She's from her mother's family, so let's just leave it at that."
"It doesn't matter how many times you hit her, the key is to make her remember the lesson."
Steward Wang narrowed his eyes and said, "If the news of the master's affairs spreads, it will not be good for us. If it was the maid's own decision, it would be fine, but if you suspect that you instructed it——"
Of course, Wen Chan heard the threat in it.
"I will take this girl back and discipline her. You don't need to bother doing it."
"That's the best." Steward Wang smiled. "Come here, escort her back."
The two stared at each other for a long time, and finally Wen Chan gritted her teeth and said, "You really have a way."
"I am only following the old lady's instructions. If I have offended you, please forgive me."
He bowed slightly, his attitude still cold, and said, "Goodbye, Madam."
Then he sneered, rolled up his sleeves and left.
After I have a child and my position in the family is consolidated, I will always find a way to deal with him!
She asked someone to make proper arrangements for the injured Chunmei and sent other maids to take care of her recovery, then returned to the main room to think about how to keep Shen Rang tonight.
Unexpectedly, Shen Rang took the initiative to suggest: "I won't leave tonight, you go take a shower first."
She was very happy to hear this: "Then I'll go first, my husband, please wait a moment!"
The next day, when the sun was shining brightly, Wen Zhu lazily got up from the bed.
Jixiang brought breakfast and a message: "Miss, Chunmei was severely punished for secretly following the prince yesterday!"
"She used to be in charge of the accounts, but now she's lying in bed and can't move, so the young lady has to take over. I saw she's very busy!"
Wen Zhu just nodded casually about this matter, and then began to think about another important matter.
The stuff sent to Xikou Village should be arriving soon, right?
As she expected, at this moment in Xikou Village, Chen Zongwen walked into the study with a smile and a box in his arms.
The study hall was originally a renovated building with front and back yards. After entering the gate, there is a spacious place.
There are several trees and flowers planted on the ground, and a few cats are lazily basking in the sun.
The main room was converted into a classroom with neatly arranged tables and chairs, and behind it was the area where the Chen family lived.
Chen Zongwen looked to be in his forties or fifties, with bright eyes and a robust figure. He didn't look like an ordinary scholar at all. "Huaichuan, don't take care of those flowers and plants. Wen Zhu has sent a lot of things back to Luoyang. Come and take a look!"
After hearing this, the man who was loosening the soil for the plants immediately stood up and walked over.
This person is tall, with broad shoulders and a thin waist. He is wearing simple and clean clothes. He exudes a gentle aura like jade. He looks elegant yet strong.
When Duan Huaichuan approached, Chen Zongwen had almost unpacked all the items in the box. "This girl is really interesting. She wants to send everything back home. The flowers I sent last time were almost withered. Thanks to your careful care, they are still alive."
"These wildflowers bloom very well and are actually quite easy to keep alive."
Duan Huaichuan's voice was particularly soft when he spoke, as warm as the spring breeze.
After hearing what he said, Chen Zongwen couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
Back then, this boy ran all over the village to learn how to take care of these flowers and plants.
