"By the way, Master, are you free tomorrow? How about we get up early and come here to collect dew?"
Thinking about the Fourth Master rowing the boat and her collecting dew beside him, the scene of just the two of them must be very romantic.
"Okay, I'll accompany you tomorrow." The Fourth Master agreed without thinking.
He is free these days, so he can accompany Mianmian for a good stroll in Jiangnan.
The two of them kept playing on the lake and only returned to the small courtyard where they were temporarily staying in Jiangnan in the afternoon.
Wen Mianmian had already sent someone back to say that she would not be returning. She had stayed in the Wen Mansion for several days.
Moreover, the small courtyard where she lives now is not far from the Wen Mansion. If she misses her mother and father, she can go back to see them occasionally. Anyway, they will stay in Jiangnan for a while.
However, the children can still continue to live in the Wen Mansion.
The Fourth Master also said that the children should continue to live there and not come back for the time being, so as to avoid disturbing him and Mianmian's time when they come back.
Wen Mianmian also agreed. After all, the Fourth Master finally had some time, and Wen Mianmian naturally wanted to spend more time with him.
When I returned to the courtyard in the evening, I happened to meet Song who was out for a walk.
Song was also surprised to meet the master and Concubine Wen at this time.
After all, the master has been very busy and rarely comes back here, and Concubine Wen said some time ago that she had returned to her mother's home to live. Why did the two of them come back together at this time? Judging from their appearance, they must have just returned from outside.
"Greetings to the master and the concubine." Although Song had some doubts in her heart, she still bowed respectfully to both of them.
"Get up." The Fourth Master said expressionlessly.
Wen Mianmian smiled and looked at Song and said, "Is Princess Song out for a walk?"
"Yeah, it's a bit boring in the house. After dinner, I just want to go out for a walk while the moonlight is just right."
Song was also a tactful person and didn't say much here. After chatting for a few words, Song left.
Unlike other people, if they see the master here, even if the concubine is next to them, they will find ways to stay with the Fourth Master for a while, maybe leaving a good impression on him.
Perhaps she has finally realized over the years that her master has fallen in love with Concubine Wen. She no longer asks for anything and only hopes to live the rest of her life in peace and stability.
It’s a pity that she doesn’t have any children around her, otherwise it would be nice to have someone to chat and talk to.
"By the way, Master, do you have a jade bottle with you? I want to use it to collect dew tomorrow morning."
The Fourth Master thought for a moment, then instructed Su Peisheng, who was standing beside him, "Su Peisheng, go and look for a jade bottle later and bring it back to Concubine Concubine."
"Yes~"
——
On Li's side, Nanny Fang told her everything that happened today.
"Wen also followed." Li picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"Yes, it seems that the master went to find Concubine Wen, and then the two of them went there together."
"Oh, what was Wen's reaction?" Li put down the teacup in her hand and looked up and asked.
"Concubine Wen didn't react at all. It looked like she was doing nothing special. However, Miss Lin didn't seem to say a word to the master. It was mostly Concubine Wen who was talking to the girl."
"Oh, Wen is not a fool. Besides, she has seen her before. Now that something like this has happened, how could she not have any doubts in her heart?"
This was also within Li's expectations. After all, the master was a man, and it was impossible for him to be alone with Miss Lin.
"Then Gege, what should we do next?"
"Let her recover first. If she's needed, she'll be there."
Nanny Fang agreed, then thought of something and said, "Oh, Gege, I heard from people outside that the master and Concubine Wen have returned, and the master is now in Concubine Wen's courtyard."
"Just come back, the master will never come to me." When she said this, a hint of sadness flashed in Li's eyes.
When Nanny Fang saw the princess like this, she knew that the princess was upset again, so she didn't say anything else.
The next morning, Wen Mianmian and the Fourth Master got up early, changed into light clothes, and went out with their things.
When we arrived at the lake, there was a thick layer of white mist. Looking at the fairy mist, the lotus flowers in the lake were looming, which created a unique artistic conception.
The Fourth Master personally steered the helm, with Wen Mianmian sitting beside him. There were only the two of them on the entire boat.
Wen Mianmian held her chin with her hand and looked at the Fourth Master and said jokingly, "Master, you have to be careful. I heard that the bottom of this lake is very deep. Don't let the boat capsize."
The Fourth Master was steering the boat from the bow, and said with a confident smile, "Don't worry, even if the boat really capsizes, I have the ability to bring you back to shore safely."
"No, I don't want to experience falling into the water again."
The experience of falling into water is enough to happen once in a lifetime, and Wen Mianmian doesn't want to experience it a second time.
"Hey, I saw dewdrops. Master, please row the boat over there." Wen Mianmian shouted in surprise, pointing in a direction.
The Fourth Master swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth, smiled helplessly, and rowed the boat in the direction that Mianmian had just pointed.
The dewdrops were quite large, and Wen Mianmian successfully put them into the jade bottle that Su Peisheng brought back yesterday.
There were many lotus leaves and quite a few dewdrops, and Wen Mianmian soon filled the jade bottle. At this time, the sun had gradually risen, and the fog in the lake had dissipated a lot. The first ray of sunlight in the morning sprinkled on the entire sparkling lake surface, adding a bright color to the lake surface.
"Okay, master, let's go back. I'm hungry." Wen Mianmian's stomach had been growling several times.
If the scenery of the lake wasn’t so beautiful, Wen Mianmian would have wanted to go back the moment she finished collecting the dew.
"Okay~" The Fourth Master rowed the boat back to the shore.
On the way back, Wen Mianmian couldn't bear the fragrance outside anymore, so she pulled the Fourth Master out of the carriage and went to a nearby wonton stall to sit down and asked the boss to order two large bowls of wontons.
Later, Wen Mianmian remembered that this was a roadside stall. She wondered if the Fourth Master would be used to the food. She looked at the Fourth Master and whispered, "Master, are you used to the food?"
Seeing Mianmian's sneaky look, the Fourth Master laughed and said, "If I can't get used to it, will Mianmian leave?"
"No, the boss is already doing it, and this place is very clean. I think I can give it a try."
Moreover, the wontons here are really fragrant. Wen Mianmian could smell the aroma from far away, otherwise she wouldn't have been so greedy and directly pulled the Fourth Master over.
"I've eaten everything since I was a child. Mianmian really underestimates me."
