Although Countess Heishi lowered her voice to avoid disturbing children, the two young ladies still vaguely heard it and almost choked on their own saliva, their eyes wide with shock: What did I hear?
Mrs. Liu also fell silent, her face filled with incredulous shock: What did I just hear?
Three pairs of eyes followed Countess Pingcheng's gaze and met Lady Liu Zhangmin's eyes. For some reason, Lady Liu suddenly slipped and almost fell flat on her face, but fortunately, her son behind her caught her in time.
The three women quickly averted their gazes, as if they had almost been caught cheating on a test, and dared not look in that direction again. If they had merely raised their eyes, they would have seen the somewhat flustered and impatient figure of Lady Liu Zhangmin boarding the carriage.
"They say the concubines' farts smell like sweet potatoes."
Countess Pingcheng continued to reveal more, saying quietly.
The silence in the air was deafening.
Compared to loving to smell one's concubine's farts and even claiming they smell like sweet potatoes, falling into a cesspool and choking on a few mouthfuls of excrement really seems like nothing...
After a long pause, Madam Liu finally managed to think it through.
Two girls: The sweet potato smells good... but the sweet potato isn't clean.
At the Changxing Marquis's residence, the Changxing Marquis's wife had calmed down and was reclining on a soft couch, discussing with the Changxing Marquis, Chuanhai, and Chuanrui the matter of Chuanwen's innermost thoughts that she had heard.
As for why they are called Chuanwen and the others, firstly, they are now part of the Marquis's family and it is necessary for them to attend family meetings; secondly, they have spent the most time with Chuanwen and can learn more about Chuanwen's situation from them.
While they were having a family meeting, Chuanyu and Chuanwen, who was fishing in the garden, ran into each other.
Although Chuanwen is a villainous female supporting character, she has neither a system to supervise her nor the will of Heaven to force her, so she plans to lie down and be a carefree person who eats, drinks, and plays around, and every extra day she can live is a bonus.
Therefore, Chuanwen, who did not intend to compete with the female lead for the position of the eldest daughter of the Marquis's family, and Chuanyu, who did not intend to have too much involvement with the female lead, simply smiled slightly as a greeting. However, Chuanyu walked straight over and questioned Chuanwen from above: "Why did you come back?"
Chuan Wen was taken aback by the question, "Could it be that it's necessary for the plot?"
Marquis Changxing never gave up searching for the stolen child. A month ago, Chuanrui pawned the jade pendant, which was seen by people from Marquis Changxing's residence. Through this back and forth, people from Marquis Changxing's residence found Chuanrui based on the jade pendant.
However, it was impossible to get a serious answer from someone as cunning as Chuanwen. She chuckled and said, "Because it's more convenient to defecate in the Marquis's residence, especially on rainy days."
Pfft!
The maids around him couldn't help but laugh, but when they realized they had burst out laughing, they quickly covered their mouths and tried their best to suppress their laughter.
As a lady from a respectable family, Chuanyu, who had never heard a swear word before, was stunned by this sudden answer, while Chuanwen continued to chatter on and on.
"The outhouses in the countryside not only smell bad, but in the summer there are also a lot of mosquitoes. After going there, you would come back with several big welts on your body. In the winter, it is especially cold. After going there, your buttocks would be stiff from the wind. When you came back, you had to put your buttocks on the fire pit to warm them up."
But those things are bearable. The worst is going to the toilet on rainy days. When the raindrops hit, the yellow specks in the latrine are sprayed out, and if you're not standing properly, they'll get splashed onto your trousers...
"However, using the toilet in the countryside isn't entirely without its fun; at least you can poke maggots with a stick. You can't do that at the Marquis's mansion, though. It's so clean you can't even see a single maggot. Hmm... (thinking) But I still prefer the Marquis's mansion's outhouse, because I simply can't stand having my trousers splashed with maggots..."
"Stop talking!"
Chuan Yu interrupted Chuan Wen's long speech, and if Chuan Wen continued, Chuan Yu believed that he would definitely vomit.
The maids around him were also shocked by Chuanwen poking maggots with a stick. You can pok those things for fun? Isn't it dirty?
Chuan Yu's gaze toward Chuan Wen had completely changed from dislike to sympathy, uh... plus a little disgust and disdain.
Chuanwen, who had successfully disgusted everyone, mentally gave a thumbs-up.
It took Chuanyu a while to suppress the nausea and vomiting. She said to Chuanwen, "The Marquis's mansion is not like the countryside. Since you want to stay in the Marquis's mansion, you must know and abide by the rules. If you continue to offend this person and that person like you did today, even ten grandmothers wouldn't be enough to make you angry!"
Chuanyu originally wanted to send Chuanwen away, but when she met the innocent and sincere gaze of the girl who was two years younger than her, she couldn't bring herself to say the words. She even had a little urge to pinch the chubby little face of the girl, but when she thought about how her grandmother had been angered by her, she held back.
Why aren't you saying anything?
Seeing Chuanwen remain silent and lost in thought, Chuanyu began to regret her words. Had she been too harsh? Sigh, she was just a child. Why take her so seriously? She grew up in the countryside; it was normal for her to be unfamiliar with the rules when she first came to the Marquis's mansion. A little guidance would have sufficed. Why be so harsh with her...?
"If I were to apologize with a bundle of thorns on my back, would Princess Baohui forgive my impetuousness today?"
Chuanwen seriously considered this possibility, but unfortunately he couldn't reveal the plot. Otherwise, if he could help Princess Baohui rescue her precious daughter, Princess Baohui wouldn't hold it against him for what happened today.
After thinking for a moment, she looked up and asked, "Hey, what's wrong with you?"
At this moment, Chuanyu turned her back, covered her mouth, and went to cry!
Nothing more than being moved.
Chuan Yi used to always get into trouble, and when his older sister tried to discipline him, he would stubbornly refuse. Unlike Chuan Wen, who was so sensible. She only said one sentence, and Chuan Wen was already thinking about how to make up for her mistake. She's only fourteen, a whole year younger than Chuan Yi! Yet she's already so sensible!
A warm feeling flowed through Chuanyu's heart, and a sense of responsibility as an older sister welled up within her, then swept over her entire body. This couldn't be Chuanwen's fault; she couldn't let Chuanwen bear this alone! No!
"Can we have braised lion's head meatballs tonight?"
Just as Chuanyu was about to step forward to comfort Chuanwen, she suddenly slipped and almost fell on the spot.
"You, you came here to apologize so you could have braised lion's head meatballs tonight?"
Chuan Yu doubted that she had misheard and stared at Chuan Wen in disbelief.
"I've never had such delicious lion's head meatballs before." Chuanwen's mouth watered just thinking about the thick broth.
"But you ate a lot this afternoon, can you eat more?"
Chuanyu looked at Chuanwen's stomach in even greater surprise. She had devoured two tables of food that afternoon and still had room to eat. Hmm? That's not the point. Chuanyu, who had almost been led astray, quickly pulled herself back to reality. Should she say that Chuanwen was sensible or... Oh well, she's still young, it's normal for her to like to eat.
But...is this normal? Chuan Yu's gaze fell again, complicated, on Chuan Wen's small belly—no, it wasn't a belly, it was more like a giant pot...
Chuanyu finally sighed in despair.
