Wang hadn't been protected like this in a long time, and she was somewhat touched.
But she couldn't tell Qian You the truth, only vaguely saying, "There's someone I can't afford to offend who wants me to gamble my entire life with her."
"Is that man the one Madam desires?"
Qian You looked uneasy, but there was a hint of jealousy in his eyes, as if he was very worried about being abandoned by Wang.
Wang liked the way he was jealous of her, so she deliberately didn't explain, only sighing, "Qian You, I'm torn and don't know what to do."
Qian You got up and pulled her onto his lap, saying, "I'm foolish and don't understand the troubles of noble people."
However, since it involves gambling with your future, Madam, you might consider what kind of future you desire and whether it's easily achievable.
He opened the food box he had brought, took out a bowl of bird's nest porridge, scooped up a spoonful, blew on it, and fed it to Wang's lips.
"Madam didn't eat much last night, so I got this from the restaurant. I've heard that bird's nest is good for women, would you like to have some?"
Wang lowered her eyes. "Did you go to the restaurant specifically to buy it?"
She ate plenty of bird's nest porridge during her years at the General's Mansion, so it wasn't anything special to her.
However, this bowl of top-quality bird's nest porridge was not cheap, as Qian You was a newly recruited guard with a low monthly salary.
"Where did you get the money to buy this?"
Two days ago, Qian You secretly gave her a gold hairpin, spending all of his monthly allowance.
Qian You put down his spoon somewhat awkwardly. "I used the money my mother gave me to get married. Meeting you in this life is a blessing I have accumulated over several lifetimes. I will not have any more thoughts about getting married. I only want to win your favor."
He gently coaxed her, "Madam, nothing in this world is more important than your health. It's bad for your health to be hungry. Would you like to have a bite?"
Wang looked at the bowl of bird's nest porridge and pondered Qian You's words.
When she first married into the Ye family, she didn't have such great ambitions; she was content with a simple and wealthy life.
She watched Ye Jinghong rise higher and higher, and saw Ye Jinghong's child betrothed to the royal family even before the child was born. Wealth and honor were so close to her, almost within reach.
Ye Jinghong left Beijing on the day she gave birth. She felt it was an opportunity given to her by God. She had two children, and for the next twenty years, she looked forward to becoming the mother of the future empress every day.
But recently, both she and Ye Wantang have suffered repeated setbacks, and their husbands and daughters have become estranged from them.
It caused her to lose faith in her former expectations.
Qian You asked her what kind of life she wanted for the rest of her life. Wang was very certain that her obsession with wealth and power remained.
But that would require her to give up everything and get involved in the struggle with Ye Zhen and the others again.
"lady."
The spoon was brought to her lips again, and Qian You carefully, even with a pleading look in her eyes, said, "Madam, it won't taste good if it gets cold."
Wang opened her mouth.
She thought that the days she had been carefully protected by Qian You recently were actually quite good.
