Aunt Jiang raised her hand and gently brushed a strand of hair from Chu Qianchen's cheek, "My poor sister Chen, if you were born in Madam's belly, why would you be so cautious and inferior to others in every way?"

"Ah, it's my aunt who's sorry for you..."

Aunt Jiang sighed deeply.

The flowers and trees outside the window rustled in the spring breeze, adding a touch of loneliness and helplessness.

Chu Qianchen smiled faintly, with deep meaning, "Auntie, how do you think I should apologize?"

"Third sister's face has been ruined. If you want to make Second Aunt calm down, it's impossible to just apologize verbally."

"Are you sure you want me to do this unless I scratch my face?"

Chu Qianchen's voice was calm, but Aunt Jiang's heart skipped a beat. A strange feeling welled up in her heart. She always felt that the Chu Qianchen in front of her was a little different from before, just as Liuli said.

"Aunt, what do you think?" Chu Qianchen looked at Aunt Jiang seriously.

She put her hands on her knees, straightened her back, and spoke in a serious manner, looking at Aunt Jiang with her phoenix eyes without blinking, as if she would do whatever she said.

The tension in Aunt Jiang's heart finally relaxed.

Chu Qianchen is still the same as before, he regards her as his heaven and she is the only one in his eyes and heart.

So, it was just my illusion just now...

Aunt Jiang raised her lips and said, "Sister Chen, you really made a big mistake this time." Her voice was filled with reluctance and heartache. She twisted her handkerchief with both hands and said, "Aunt knows that it's not your fault, but you are a concubine's daughter."

Who made you a concubine?

Ever since Chu Qianchen could remember, Aunt Jiang had said this to her countless times.

When she was young, she was a little unconvinced, but gradually, she felt that what her aunt said was right.

She listened to Aunt Jiang and never disobeyed her, but what did she get in return? !

Aunt Jiang was still sighing and saying, "Sister Chen, of course I don't want you to suffer any injustice, but what can I do now..."

"I refuse."

Chu Qianchen spoke these three words clearly, interrupting Aunt Jiang.

"If mother or grandmother blames me, I will bear the responsibility alone and will not implicate my aunt."

"Aunt, I'm tired." Chu Qianchen picked up the teacup and acted as if serving tea to a guest.

Aunt Jiang's face froze, but she finally stood up and said, "Sister Chen..."

She let out a long sigh and walked out, staggering slightly, as if she had suffered a great blow.

However, Chu Qianchen turned a blind eye and lowered his eyes to drink tea.

She has a lot to do in her new life.

By the time they left Wanyan Courtyard, the weakness and hurt on Aunt Jiang's face had completely disappeared, replaced by calmness.

"Madame Cui, what's wrong with Sister Chen?"

"Aunt, the second young lady may be upset because she almost hurt her face, and you forced her to apologize to the third young lady." Aunt Cui said kindly, "The second young lady is still respectful to you. I think there is nothing wrong with it."

Qian Chen was indeed very respectful to her just now, but Aunt Jiang always felt that this respect seemed to be separated by a layer. It was not like before, when even if she smiled at her, her eyes would shine with brilliance and be full of longing.

But just now, Qian Chen was exceptionally calm.

She just looked at her quietly with her black eyes, and her clear eyes seemed to be able to penetrate everything, which made Aunt Jiang feel a little inexplicably guilty...

Madam Cui added, "The second young lady is so stunningly beautiful. There is no noble lady in the capital who is prettier than her."

Such a beautiful face was almost ruined by the third girl. Even a pretty girl like the second girl would be annoyed.

"She's lucky this time..." Aunt Jiang nodded slightly, and after a while, she slowly said, "Madame Cui, you can also see that her eyes, her appearance, and her figure are getting better and better as she grows older..."

Aunt Jiang held the handkerchief with a little force, her eyes changing from uncertain to bright.

Nanny Cui's heart skipped a beat.

However, Aunt Jiang did not say anything else.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Nanny Cui followed Madam Jiang closely, and the moment she walked out of Wanyan Courtyard, she couldn't help but look back again.

The yard was quiet, with only the grass and trees swaying gently in the spring breeze. Just like in the past, it was so quiet that there was not a single ripple.

Chu Qianchen in the room was still sitting on the armchair, staring at Liuli in front of him and said, "Kneel down."

Her voice was soft, and her phoenix eyes with slightly raised corners glanced at Liuli lightly. She exuded an unquestionable pressure, and she was intimidating without even getting angry.

Liuli shuddered and knelt down subconsciously. She lowered her head, a hint of resentment in her eyes, and said unconvincedly: "Miss, what did I do wrong?"

"You went to tell my aunt that I was leaving the house, right?" Chu Qianchen's tone was very firm.

When Aunt Jiang sent Juan'er to call her, she used the excuse of being tired and did not go. According to Aunt Jiang's temper, she would not come in person. She had expected that when she returned home, she would hear that Aunt Jiang was not feeling well.

However, Aunt Jiang came in person.

It was obvious that someone had tipped off Aunt Jiang, and it was obvious who that person was.

"I didn't." Liuli quickly denied, "I have always been loyal to you! If you don't believe me, you can ask the maids."

As a concubine of the Marquis's mansion, Chu Qianchen had two second-class maids, four third-class maids, two wet nurses, and several servants.

However, when Chu Qianchen was five years old, her wet nurse died unexpectedly. Later, she went to the farm for a "short stay" last year. When she came back, the housekeeper, Nanny Yu, was gone. Aunt Jiang said that Nanny Yu had a grandson and asked for grace to return to her hometown to take care of the grandson.

Therefore, there is no nanny in Wanyan Courtyard. The two second-class maids, Liuli and Amber, are in charge. Amber has always been low-key and does not fight for anything, while Liuli is in charge of almost everything in the courtyard, including the little maids.

The corners of Chu Qianchen's mouth curled up, with a faint smile on his lips.

As for Liuli, I have spoiled her so much over the years that she has become less and less capable of making progress.

Even though she was just a concubine's daughter, there was no reason for her to argue about right and wrong with a group of servants.

Since Liuli doesn't want to admit it, then don't admit it! Chu Qianchen changed the subject and said, "Liuli, you don't have to serve me anymore."
