Wen Nongnong naturally understood and glanced at the maid named Mei Yan.
She's fair-skinned and quite pretty; it turns out she's one of Gu Linchao's men. No wonder she's so arrogant.
"Oh, then I won't keep you from serving the prince any longer." She nodded and beckoned to the long-faced maid, "Then come and help me up."
The maids were all stunned. Why was her reaction different from what they had expected?
The group looked at her face with some uncertainty.
He seemed to be trying to read the hints of jealousy or anger from her face.
Wen Nongnong didn't seem to care much as they stared at her.
After a while, the group couldn't figure it out and gave up. Mei Yan, however, took a few more glances at Wen Nongnong.
Wen Nongnong has been married into the Prince's mansion for some time now, and everyone has naturally met her before.
However, the Wen Nongnong of the past was not so composed.
Given her spoiled and willful nature, she shouldn't let this go after hearing what she just said.
But right now, she wasn't angry at all, let alone show the slightest hint of jealousy on her face.
Mei Yan looked at Wen Nong Nong's beautiful and radiant face and pursed her lips.
She wasn't afraid of Wen Nong Nong's beauty because that was her personality—it made it impossible for anyone to feel any affection for her, and she posed no threat whatsoever.
But the current Wen Nongnong is somewhat unpredictable; what if she catches the prince's eye...?
Mei Yan clenched the handkerchief in her hand.
The long-faced girl stepped forward, took Wen Nong Nong's arm, and said somewhat reluctantly, "This servant will help you back now."
"Yes, thank you for your trouble." Wen Nongnong seemed not to notice her reluctance, nodded, and leaned against her, transferring her weight to her.
The long-faced maid was small and thin. She suddenly pressed down on me, and I almost fell over. I barely managed to keep my balance.
She tried to push Wen Nongnong away, but found she couldn't budge her at all. Her face flushed red with embarrassment. "Your Highness, this servant..."
"Be careful not to fall and hurt me, or even though I have a good temper, I'll still punish you," Wen Nongnong said with a smile, shutting her down.
The long-faced maid swallowed back the words she was about to say, silently helped her up, and walked towards the Agarwood Courtyard.
Halfway there, the maid casually mentioned, "Your Highness may not know, but Sister Meiyan was actually chosen by the Empress Dowager herself for Your Highness. She came to the Prince's residence a long time ago and has been serving Your Highness for many years. She is already considered one of the elders by Your Highness's side."
Wen Nongnong's lips curled up slightly. This girl was practically saying that Mei Yan was Gu Linchao's concubine, and she even brought up the Empress Dowager in front of her. She was telling her that Mei Yan was the Empress Dowager's person and that she should be polite to Mei Yan.
She shook her head with amusement. This little maid was so eager to put a bad word to her, it seemed she had received a lot of favors from Mei Yan and already regarded her as her master.
However, in fact—
"As far as I know, the Prince has been fighting on all fronts for many years and is rarely in the capital. Since Mei Yan is the Prince's woman, why doesn't he keep her by his side?"
The maid said awkwardly, "His Highness is on a military campaign and there are many inconveniences. It is not appropriate for Sister Meiyan to go with him."
"Is it that she's not comfortable going with you, or does the Prince simply look down on her?" Wen Nongnong said with a smile.
The maid paused, unable to say anything more.
Looking at the Agarwood Courtyard so close at hand, Wen Nongnong guessed that the original owner of this body must have lived here, so she stopped and released the maid. "Alright, you can leave now."
The maid secretly curled her lip, curtsied dismissively, and withdrew.
