Chapter 209 Isn’t it just bed climbing?
Then Mu Yunzhao's screams were heard outside the yard.
"Madam has warned you many times not to talk nonsense, but you just can't control your mouth. So don't blame us for being cruel." Chun Tao said.
Mu Yunzhao didn't dare to move at this time, and let Chuntao slap her in the face.
She knew that if she dared to resist, Chuntao would beat her even harder, and she would lose her face.
Chuntao slapped her more than twenty times in a row until her hands were sore, and then she stopped.
"I hope you take care of yourself. Do you know why Madam bought you? It's to let you atone for your sins. How dare you talk back to Madam? You're really brave."
The maids and old women all left the yard, and in the end only Mu Yunzhao was left kneeling in the cold wind.
She had been kneeling for less than two hours when she fainted in the yard due to her weakness from long-term hunger.
She was carried into the house by other kind maids.
When she woke up, she saw Hongxiu beside her.
At this moment, she was lying on the bed, covered with a quilt.
Then she knew that it was Hongxiu who helped her again.
"Sister Hong Xing, are you awake?"
"Well, thank you, Hongxiu."
"No need. We are servants, and this is our fate. In fact, Madam Zhang is a very kind person. As long as Sister Hong Xing sincerely admits her mistake, I believe she will forgive you."
Mu Yunzhao smiled bitterly. Zhang Wanqing was kind? She didn't believe it.
But she still had to pretend, "Thank you, Sister Hongxiu. I'll remember that."
Zhang Wanqing knew that Mu Yunzhao was carried back to the house by Hongxiu.
She naturally didn't want Mu Yunzhao to die so quickly, so sometimes she would turn a blind eye.
She came to the courtyard of Lu Chen, the son of the governor. In addition to teaching Lu Chen every day, she also had to take care of his food and daily life.
Gradually, Lu Chen also accepted Zhang Wanqing's existence.
"Chen'er, this is pronounced wrong, it should be pronounced like this..."
When Lu Chongjian walked to the door and saw Zhang Wanqing and her son Lu Chen getting along, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.
That night, he went out to handle official business. When he reached the entrance of an alley, he suddenly heard a cry for help from inside.
As the official of Fangzhou, he certainly would not ignore the people of Fangzhou.
So, they sent someone in to check, and found that it was three hooligans bullying a girl.
Because it was already late, he sent people to beat the three hooligans severely and sent them to the yamen.
He asked the girl where she lived and offered to give her a ride.
But the girl cried and said that she had no home and her parents were dead. She begged him to take her in and said she was willing to be his slave.
Only then did he bring Zhang Wanqing home.
The next day, he investigated Zhang Wanqing's life experience, but was shocked.
It turned out that this person was the daughter of Taifu Zhang, who had been his teacher. Taifu Zhang had also financially supported Lu Chongjian because of his family difficulties.
Lu Chongjian did not reveal to Zhang Wanqing that he was once a student of Tutor Zhang. He only asked Zhang Wanqing if she was willing to stay in the Governor's Mansion.
Zhang Wanqing was desperate and knelt in front of Lu Chongjian, willing to do anything as long as he was willing to keep her.
She knew that Lu Chongjian was only 27 or 28 years old. He must have his own methods and strategies to be able to sit in the position of governor.
Even though she felt hatred in her heart, she dared not act rashly, and spent the whole day being submissive like a little maid.
Even though Lu Chongjian told her that she was not a servant of the Governor's Mansion but a guest of the Governor's Mansion, Zhang Wanqing still kept her head down and looked pleasing to the eye.
This made Lu Chongjian feel even more distressed.
One thing that made him very happy was that she was very good to her four-year-old son Lu Chen, and she enlightened him and taught him to read.
It was really because he was too busy as a father and neglected to take care of his son Lu Chen.
And his son Lu Chen also seemed to like Zhang Wanqing very much. He also asked his son Lu Chen privately, "Would it be okay for Sister Zhang to be your mother?" Lu Chen also expressed his willingness.
Before Lu Chongjian could ask Zhang Wanqing, Zhang Wanqing climbed onto his bed first.
The reason was that Zhang Wanqing met Lin Zhiyi and Li Wenjing on the street, which made her unable to bear it and wanted to climb to a higher position and use Lu Chongjian to take revenge.
Lu Chongjian was furious, and Zhang Wanqing was so scared that she knelt on the ground and begged for his forgiveness.
Lu Chongjian was helpless. He was angry because Zhang Wanqing treated herself so badly and he felt distressed.
She is the teacher's daughter after all.
Zhang Wanqing thought Lu Chongjian would kick her out of the mansion, but Lu Chongjian asked, "Do you want to be the governor's concubine?"
Zhang Wanqing nodded without hesitation.
"Well, as you wish!"
Lu Chongjian turned away.
Lu Chongjian gave Zhang Wanqing the best courtyard in the governor's mansion and showed her enough respect, having everyone in the mansion call her Madam Zhang.
But he didn't touch her.
This made Zhang Wanqing feel guilty, thinking that Lu Chongjian looked down on her.
As time went by, Zhang Wanqing forgot her identity in the governor's mansion and started to act up again.
Fortunately, she woke up early and knew the truth.
"Chen'er."
Lu Chen, who was learning to read, turned around after hearing the voice and saw Lu Chongjian, who was very happy, "Daddy."
Lu Chongjian walked over and wanted to pick up Lu Chen, but was rejected by Lu Chen.
"A son who serves his parents should not be lazy. Chen'er has grown up and become a man. How can he still let his father hold him? Daddy must be tired from handling official business. Let Chen'er give you a back massage."
Lu Chongjian glanced at Zhang Wanqing and nodded at her.
No need to guess, you know it was Zhang Wanqing who taught her.
"Father is not tired, Chen'er must be hungry, come on, father will take you to eat."
Lu Chongjian took Lu Chen's hand, and before he even reached the door, he turned to look at Zhang Wanqing, "Qing'er, come with us."
Zhang Wanqing was stunned for a moment.
Qing'er?
He actually called himself Qing'er.
Zhang Wanqing was delighted and quickly stood up, "Yes."
At the dinner table.
Zhang Wanqing served food to the father and son.
This was her first time having dinner with Lu Chongjian and his son.
Lu Chongjian said, "Qing'er, sit down and eat too. The servants will serve the dishes, so you don't have to do it yourself."
Zhang Wanqing quickly responded.
After sitting down, she realized that half of the dishes on the table were her favorites.
Zhang Wanqing was very nervous while eating this meal. She didn't expect that Lu Chongjian would keep picking up dishes for her, and they were all her favorites.
Zhang Wanqing was delighted.
Suddenly I felt that if I continued living like this, my life would be very happy.
Although she and Lu Chongjian were not actually married, he sent jewelry to her room, asked the best tailor in Fangzhou to make clothes for her, and always took her with him to banquets, introducing her to outsiders as his wife, giving her enough respect.
Knowing that she liked reading, he sent servants to buy books for her and fill the entire study, and asked the servants to plant her favorite crabapple flowers in her yard.
She is not a fool.
Li Wenjing couldn't see any trace of her, but she could feel it in Lu Chongjian.
Through the window, Mu Yunzhao saw Lu Chongjian and his son send Zhang Wanqing to the yard. Lu Chen called her "Auntie" and asked Zhang Wanqing to have a good rest. Mu Yunzhao looked at the wounds on her body and her eyes were fierce.
Isn’t it just bed climbing? Who can’t do it!
