"My attention has been on my children lately. I don't have time to listen to these gossips."
Apart from taking care of the children and practicing, she doesn't have the time to understand what's happening outside.
"You can't be completely ignorant of it. It would be beneficial for you to know more about what's going on outside."
"Hmm~" Wen Mianmian nodded, feeling that what Sister Tian said made sense.
Speaking of the talent show, Tian Yurou looked at Mianmian and said, "By the way, Mianmian, the talent show is coming soon, aren't you worried?"
She hasn't slept well these past few days. The start of the talent show means that new people will enter the mansion.
There are already enough people in the Third Master's house. If a few more come, she is really afraid that one day her son will become a thorn in their eyes.
"What's the point of worrying? What's going to happen will eventually happen. No matter how much we think about it, it's useless."
"I'm not as magnanimous as you think. There are already enough people in our house. If a few more come, our master is a philanderer and falls in love with everyone he sees. Then the house will become uneasy again." When Tian Yurou said this, her face was gloomy.
"Okay, Sister Tian, stop thinking too much. I've heard that people who think too much age faster, so we should think less about unhappy things. There's no need to make ourselves unhappy because of unnecessary people."
"Really?" When Tian Yurou heard Mianmian's words, she couldn't help but touch her face.
"Of course, you see I'm happy all day long, and my skin looks really good." Wen Mianmian said as she moved her face closer to Tian Yurou, motioning her to look at herself.
Tian Yurou was really envious of Mianmian's flawless white skin.
He even touched it and said enviously, "Mianmian, your skin is so good. If I could have half of it, I wouldn't be worried."
Wen Mianmian pulled her hand down with amusement, "If you want, you can do it too."
At this point, Tian Yurou's face fell, "Do you think I don't want to? But my house is not as quiet as yours. If there were only a few people in your house, I wouldn't be so anxious."
When Wen Mianmian heard her say that, she didn't know how to comfort her.
It is true that three women make a drama. There are indeed many more women in the Third Master's Mansion than in the Fourth Master's Mansion, so she can only ask Sister Tian to be more open-minded.

The next day, Wen Mianmian received a letter from his elder brother saying that a plague had broken out in the south.
When she saw the word "plague", Wen Mianmian staggered, but fortunately Nanny Song supported her in time.
Nanny Song looked a little worried, "Master, what's wrong with you?"
"Mammy, take a look." Wen Mianmian's hands were trembling slightly, and her face was full of worry.
Nanny Song took the letter and took a look at it.
Seeing what was written above, Nanny Song couldn't believe it.
Plague, it is actually a plague.
"Mammy, do you think anything will happen to the master?" What she worried about finally happened.
Nanny Song helped Consort Jin sit down on the warm couch and comforted her, "Master, don't worry. Master, you are a lucky person and everything will be fine."
"But it's a plague, it's contagious. The master has been there for almost two months, how can I not be worried?"
His eldest brother could only hear that there was a plague in the south, but he didn't know how the Fourth Master was doing.
The letter said that the city gate where the plague occurred had been closed, as had the nearby city gates, and they had no idea what the situation was inside.
"Madam Song, please ask someone to find out if there is any news about what's happening in the south." Wen Mianmian urged.
Seeing her master so anxious, Nanny Song did not dare to delay and hurried out to find someone to inquire.
At the same time, Fu Jin also learned about the plague in the south. Her mood was similar to Wen Mianmian's, and they were both very worried that something might happen to their master.
"Don't worry, Madam. Maybe it's not as bad as we think." Nanny Chang comforted.
Fu Jin sat on the warm couch, her hand supporting her forehead. "The plague is contagious. Even if the master is in good health, living with the victims every day, how can I not worry?"
After saying this, the Fourth Lady's head started to hurt even more. She didn't know what was wrong with her recently, but whenever she was upset, her head would hurt badly. Although she had headaches before, they were never as severe as these days.
When I called the court physician to come and see me, he just said it was an old problem, probably caused by overwork during recent times, and that I just needed to rest more.
After taking the medicine, my headache is no longer as painful.
Now seeing this letter, she felt anxious and her head started to hurt again, which made her feel uncomfortable.
Nanny Li saw this and became a little worried. "Fujin, are you okay? Do you want to ask the court doctor to come and check on you?"
"No need. Just boil some of the previous medicine. Even if the court doctor comes, it will be the same. It's an old problem." Fu Jin waved her hand.
Fu Jin propped up her head and said, "Tell someone to keep an eye on the news outside and report back to me immediately if there's any news from the south."
"Yes, I know about it. I will definitely ask people to pay more attention to it." Nanny Li hurried out and ordered people to boil medicine and keep an eye on the situation in the south.
"Madam, why don't you go in and rest for a while?" Nanny Chang said worriedly.
"It's okay, I'll just take it easy." Fu Jin closed her eyes and kept thinking about her master, but the more she thought about it, the worse her headache became.
At this time, a young eunuch came in and reported that Miss Ma Jia was coming.
"Tell her to come back another day. Can't you see that Madam Fu is not feeling well?" Nanny Chang looked at the visitor and scolded with a stern face.
"Yes." Just as the young eunuch was about to leave, Fu Jin spoke up, "Let her in."
Nanny Chang advised, "Fujin, you are not feeling well, so please ask your cousin to come back tomorrow."
"I'm fine, let her in."
Seeing that she couldn't persuade the eunuch, Nanny Chang stopped trying and waved at the eunuch, who hurried down.
After a while, Ma Jia Ruening came in with a smile on her face and a bouquet of beautiful peonies in her hands.
"Hello, cousin." Ma Jia Ruening leaned over and bowed slightly.
"Why are you here?" The Fourth Lady sat down and looked at her and spoke.
"I came to give flowers to my cousin. I saw the peonies in the garden were blooming brightly and beautifully, and I thought my cousin would be happy to see them, so I picked a few beautiful ones and gave them to her."
The Fourth Lady's eyes fell on the peony in her hand. It was indeed nice.
Seeing her thinking about herself like this, Fu Jin couldn't help but feel a little better, and her headache didn't hurt as much anymore.
"You're thoughtful."
"As long as my cousin likes it." Ma Jia Ruining handed the flowers to Nanny Chang, and then came to her cousin.
"Cousin, what's wrong with you? You don't look well."
"I'm fine. It's just an old problem. It will be fine soon." Fu Jin said as she pushed her temple with her hand again.
"Then let me give my cousin a massage. This is how I used to give Mama a massage when I was in the mansion."
