"What are you worried about? It's not my turn to worry. My master doesn't come to my place often anyway, and my health is pretty bad. What do I have to worry about?"
With her poor body, even if the master came, he would just have a meal and leave. She no longer expected anything.
She is now just a spectator, watching the show from the audience, and what happens on the stage has nothing to do with her.
"Just have someone keep an eye on her. As long as she doesn't do anything excessive, don't pay any attention to her." After saying this, Fu Jin picked up the account book again and started looking at it.
Upon seeing this, Nanny Chang lowered her head and responded without saying anything else.
——
As spring turns to winter, the wind is cold and the eaves, paths and treetops are all covered with thick white snow.
Wen Mianmian opened the window, and the snowflakes outside fluttered in.
Nanny Song brought a cloak and draped it over Concubine Xie's shoulders, saying softly, "Master, it's very cold outside. Don't catch a cold."
"Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, another year has passed."
Wen Mianmian reached out to catch the falling snowflakes. The snowflakes landed on her warm palm and quickly turned into a pool of snow water.
"Who said it wasn't? Another year has passed in the blink of an eye." Nanny Song helped the concubine tidy up her cloak and lamented the passage of time.
I didn’t expect that she has been here for so many years and has several children. In the past, Wen Mianmian would never have dared to think about it. She didn’t expect that one day she would travel through time and find a partner who loves her here, and so many lovely children.
Wen Mianmian stood at the window for a while. Thinking that this was the best time of year to eat hot pot, she turned her head to look at Nanny Song and said,
"Oh, Nanny Song, let's have hotpot for dinner today. Have someone prepare two hotpot bases, one spicy and one non-spicy. Also have someone call Xuanxuan and the others over to have dinner together."
"Hey, I'll have someone prepare it later, and the Second Prince and his team will also send someone to call them."
Wen Mianmian felt a little cold and walked back. Nanny Song closed the window, leaving a gap, and followed her in.
Shancha came in with a pot of hot tea. Wen Mianmian handed her cloak to Shanzhi. She sat back on the warm couch, picked up the tea that Shancha had just poured and took a sip.
"Master, when I came back from outside today and passed by the garden, I saw a familiar person." Shanzhi put away the cloak, then walked up to the concubine and spoke.
Wen Mianmian put down the teacup, pressed the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, and asked softly, "Who is it?"
"That's the girl we met on the street in Jiangnan who sold herself to bury her father."
She even walked closer to take a look. At first she suspected that she had seen it wrongly, but she could recognize her face even without the white dress, so she was sure that she was not seeing it wrongly.
Wen Mianmian looked up in surprise when she heard this. Nanny Song, who had just finished giving instructions and walked in, and Shancha, who was standing nearby, both looked at Shanzhi when they heard this.
Shanzhi felt a little flustered when they looked at her like this, thinking that she had said something wrong. She swallowed and said nervously, "What, what's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
"Who did you just say you saw?" Wen Mianmian also suspected that there was something wrong with her ears.
Shanzhi repeated what she had just said, and this time all three of them heard it clearly.
Nanny Song was a little surprised. She looked at Concubine Concubine and said, "I didn't expect this girl to be so capable that she could enter the Fourth Master's mansion."
"Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?" Wen Mianmian looked at Shanzhi and asked again uncertainly.
Shanzhi nodded, "I thought I was seeing things at first, so I went closer to confirm it. I can see clearly that the girl is not mistaken."
"This young lady is really something. Nanny Song, please ask someone to find out when she entered the mansion and how she got in."
Wen Mianmian guessed that this matter might be related to the concubine. You know, the huge Fourth Master's Mansion is under the management of the concubine, and it was she who leaked the last incident. The fact that this girl was able to enter the Fourth Master's Mansion quietly might be due to the concubine's credit.
"Yes, I will send someone to investigate right away." Nanny Song bowed and retreated.
Shancha was a little worried, "Master, what exactly does that person want to do? Is she still thinking about the master?"
She had always been with her master in Jiangnan before, so naturally she knew what the girl was thinking.
Wen Mianmian curled her lips into a smile, but she didn't take it seriously in her heart. "Isn't it obvious? Who would be willing to come into the mansion and be a servant? But what I didn't expect was that she was so persistent."
Such perseverance is rare, and it seems that the Fourth Master has not spoken much to her, so why is she so persistent?
Is this the charm of love at first sight?
Wen Mianmian was a little confused.
"In my opinion, she knows the master's identity and thinks she is good-looking, so she wants to soar to the top."
There was a hint of disdain in Shanzhi's eyes. Today, she saw her wearing servant's clothes, but her appearance was still very outstanding.
Although she is not as beautiful as their concubines, she is still a beauty in the eyes of others. What man would not like a beauty?
Moreover, those who are good-looking know that they have the opportunity to marry into a wealthy family, so who would be willing to miss it?
"It's not that easy to soar into the sky. Let's have someone keep an eye on her first and see what she wants to do."
After hearing this, Shancha and Shanzhi looked at each other and said nothing more.
In the evening, Xuanxuan and a few others came over together.
"Mom, we're here." Yuanyuan ran towards Wen Mianmian as soon as she entered the house.
Wen Mianmian saw that they were covered in snow and quickly asked them to take off their cloaks.
"Don't you have an umbrella? Why are you covered in snow? Take off your outer cloaks and come over to warm yourself by the fire."
Then he told Shancha and the others to make some ginger tea to drive away the cold for them, so that they wouldn't catch a cold. It was almost the New Year, and they couldn't catch a cold.
"Mother, we are fine, we just need to warm ourselves by the fire." Chenchen took off his cloak, handed it to the servant beside him, and walked over.
"It's snowing so heavily outside. You must bring an umbrella when you go out. Otherwise, you will catch a cold and it will be difficult for you." Wen Mianmian untied the round little cloak, and Shanzhi walked over to take it.
Then Yuanyuan immediately climbed into her mother's arms and held her hand, "Mother, I miss you so much."
He hasn't seen his mother for several days. If he had known this, he would not have gone to the imperial study to study. He had a lot of homework every day, so he had no time to come to his mother.
Wen Mianmian saw that he was still so clingy to her even though he was so old, and it would be a lie to say that she was unhappy.
Wen Mianmian smiled and pinched his chubby little face, "Mother misses you too."
