Wang Yuyan, watching from the side, felt uneasy.
These maids were sent over by Lin Ma that day, and they've been with her for some time now.
There were some things she had to say, but because she didn't please Madam Chen and Chen Luyang, she had to keep quiet.
She used to be the daughter of a merchant and had plenty of money. But since leaving her family, she has never asked for their support again, and now she lives a hard life.
Seeing this, he lowered his head slightly to hide the embarrassment in his eyes.
She knew many people were snobbish, and she had long since grown accustomed to their attitudes.
Qing'er, the maid who had served Wang Yuyan for many years, originally thought that Chen Siyuan would stand up for her young mistress. However, seeing this, she felt indignant and could only endure it when she saw the look in her young mistress's eyes.
It's just a pity for Miss Chen; she didn't get a good life at the Chen family and was even bullied by the maids.
"The tea is brewed very well. Who brewed it?" Chen Siyuan spoke slowly and deliberately, with a gentle smile on her face.
Chunlan and Chunping kept their eyes down, seemingly unaware of what the young mistress was about to do.
I do feel a bit less fond of Wang Yuyan.
You don't know how you schemed against the Chen family. You deserve to be looked down upon in the Chen family. What's wrong with you? Spreading rumors and trouble among the young mistress's family is what really happened to you.
Having served the young mistress for many years, they knew in their hearts that in front of outsiders, they were just maids and could not do anything out of line.
"Reporting to Madam, it was this servant who brewed the tea."
Chen Siyuan nodded. "Did you brew both of these cups of tea?"
"Reporting to Madam, it was this servant who made it."
"You made it well. You must have had some training, right?"
"I learned a thing or two about being a first-rank lady from my father in my younger years."
Who is your father?
“My father…” the maid said, kneeling on the ground and wiping away tears.
Chen Siyuan slowly finished her cup of tea and looked at Wang Yuyan beside her. "Yuyan, I think this maid is very talented. It's a bit of a waste for her to be by your side."
"If the young mistress likes it, she can take it with her."
“Okay, I’ll send you a few suitable people,” Chen Siyuan said.
At this moment, the maid who had been kneeling on the ground waiting to claim credit suddenly looked up, glanced at Chen Siyuan, met Chen Siyuan's gaze, and then quickly lowered her head. She had begun to think that she would receive an even greater reward, but upon hearing this, she felt that it might not be so.
"Chunping, take your two maids and go downstairs to get some rest."
"Yes." Chunping stepped forward and bowed to Chen Siyuan, then looked at the two maids kneeling on the ground, "Let's go!"
The two maids immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Please, Madam, spare us!"
"Spare her?" Chen Siyuan sneered, then looked at Wang Yuyan, "Didn't you see that your master is carrying the child of my Chen family?"
His voice wasn't loud, but the inherent authority he exuded instantly created an oppressive atmosphere, seemingly freezing some people in place.
The smile at the corner of his mouth was indeed extremely sarcastic.
The two maids, who had never seen much of the world, turned pale with fright and dared not look at Chen Siyuan.
"Pregnant women shouldn't drink tea. You don't even know that? What use are you two if you're still here?" After Chen Siyuan finished speaking, Chunlan and Chunping dragged the two terrified maids away.
Qing'er was dumbfounded.
At first, I thought it was because of the people who bullied my young lady, but it turned out like this.
He looked at Chen Siyuan again, his eyes filled with gratitude.
It seems that finally someone is treating their young lady as a mistress.
Chen Siyuan looked at Qing'er and said, "You've been by Yu Yan's side for so many years, you should know your young lady's habits. Go to my grandmother's place and find Lin Ma. Tell her that Yu Yan is pregnant and should take a lot of nourishing food."
"Yes." Upon hearing this, Qing'er left excitedly.
Only Chen Siyuan and Wang Yuyan were in the room. Chen Siyuan smiled slightly at her.
“You’re pregnant now. If you don’t think about yourself, you should think more about the baby.”
"Thank you, young mistress." Wang Yuyan cried with emotion.
After experiencing the warmth and coldness of human relationships, I feel even more heartened.
“We don’t need these things between us.” Chen Siyuan held Wang Yuyan’s hand. “Is there anything you wanted to say to me just now?”
“I…” Wang Yuyan smiled and shook her head, “No more.”
Chen Siyuan didn't ask any more questions, but reminded him, "You are carrying my older brother's child. Now that my older brother has been infected, you must protect yourself and the child, and you must not let others succeed."
Wang Yuyan didn't understand at first, but when she met Chen Siyuan's gaze, she nodded.
She could feel Chen Siyuan's kindness. When everything around her was cold, she needed warmth and the motivation to keep living.
"Also, you can't just take supplements randomly. You'll have to be extra careful these days."
"Um."
"Remember, accept any supplements that others send you, but whether you actually eat them is up to you."
Wang Yuhan suddenly understood what Chen Siyuan meant, and her eyes widened abruptly. "What does the young mistress mean?"
Chen Siyuan gave a bitter smile. "Actually, you really shouldn't have come to our Chen family."
"But what happened?" How could the dazzling woman in the southern city suddenly show such an expression?
"I've been infected too," Chen Siyuan said with a wry smile.
Wang Yuyan didn't know how to react to these words. She wanted to cry, but tried her best to hold it back.
Chen Siyuan laughed, a cold, self-deprecating laugh.
"Young Madam, are you alright?" Seeing her even more distressed appearance than if she were crying, Wang Yuyan couldn't hold back her tears.
Such a wonderful woman, I thought she was happy, but I never expected her to encounter something like this.
"I try my best to speak out and protect the people I want to protect."
"I know."
"The child in your womb is the eldest grandson of our Chen family. You must do your best to protect him."
"Yes." At this moment, Wang Yuyan realized the arduous task on her shoulders.
“I can’t guarantee anything about my brother, but I can promise you that the child in your womb will always be my nephew, Chen Siyuan’s nephew.”
What if it's a girl?
"That's my niece."
These words made both women laugh.
Knowing that Chen Siyuan also had her share of troubles, she suddenly felt relatively safe.
At least here, she can be safe and have enough to eat and wear. As for the future, she can worry about that when she gets there.
The most important thing now is the baby in her womb.
The two women talked about many things, mostly trivial matters, and as they talked, they both laughed.
After Chen Siyuan left, Wang Yuyan finally had a long-lost smile on her face.
Chen Siyuan left, and Chunping and Chunlan followed. As they walked towards Madam Chen's Fushou Garden, Chunping spoke.
"Those two maids were originally maids from the Marquis of De'an's residence."
"The Marquis of De'an's residence?" That's Jiang Manyun's home.
Thinking of Jiang Manyun, I also thought of Princess Honglian.
Suddenly, a scene appeared in my mind: when I went to Ping'an Temple, I met Princess Honglian from Qiaozhuang on the way.
He said a lot to Chunping, and Chunping left quickly.
