Wen Nongnong has been cooped up in the courtyard for many days. Every day, she does nothing but copy scriptures. Her handwriting has improved a little, but being cooped up in the courtyard, she's almost getting moldy.
On this sunny day, she decided to sneak out for a stroll and get some fresh air.
She asked Lüqiao to get her servant's clothes, and after changing into them, she swaggered out of Chenxiang Courtyard.
She walked through the veranda to the front yard.
Just as the gate was in sight, a voice came from the pavilion next to it, "Go, brew a pot of tea for this prince."
Wen Nongnong was startled and glanced over there. She was shocked to see that the person speaking was Xiao Yan, who was sitting in the pavilion looking lazy.
"Please wait a moment, Your Excellency, I'll be right there." With that, he lowered his head and strode out.
Xiao Yan turned his head casually and saw that the servant was walking towards the gate. He was stunned for a moment, glanced at the servant, and suddenly noticed something interesting.
"Hey, are you new here? I asked you to make me a pot of tea, why are you running towards the main gate?"
The sound was very close, seemingly right behind her. Wen Nongnong was startled and rushed outside.
A playful glint flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes.
With a few leaps, he arrived in front of Wen Nongnong.
Wen Nongnong was running too fast and almost couldn't stop, crashing headfirst into it.
At this moment, Xiao Yan turned around and came face to face with her.
Wen Nongnong was startled and quickly lowered her head.
Xiao Yan paused for a moment, then said to Butler Chen, who was catching up from behind, "Uncle Chen, I quite like this servant. I need to go out to buy some things, so I'll have him run errands for me and carry some things."
Butler Chen was about to reprimand Wen Nong Nong, asking what kind of servant behaved like her, running amok in the mansion.
After hearing Xiao Yan's words, he said nothing more and instructed Wen Nongnong, who had her head down, "Since the Duke has taken a liking to you, you should obey his orders and not do anything that would damage the reputation of the Prince's Mansion, otherwise he will not let you off lightly."
Xiao Yan chuckled, "Uncle Chen is too strict. Don't scare the little servant to tears." After saying that, he casually put his hand on Wen Nongnong's shoulder, "Come on, little servant. With this Duke protecting you, you can walk sideways in the Prince's mansion."
Just as Wen Nong Nong was about to brush his hand away, he grabbed her by the neck.
Butler Chen's eyes twitched as he watched.
This Duke Xiao is indeed dissolute, hanging out with a young man with his arm around his shoulder; it's truly an eyesore.
But he had always known Xiao Yan's temperament, so he just sighed inwardly and didn't say anything more.
Xiao Yan put his arm around Wen Nong Nong's shoulder and led her out of the Regent's Palace.
Once outside, Wen Nong Nong's eyes darted around, and she suddenly grabbed his arm, taking him by surprise and throwing him over her shoulder.
"Bang!"
Xiao Yan felt dizzy and couldn't believe that he had been thrown to the ground by a skinny servant.
Seeing that the other person was about to run away, he suddenly turned around on the ground and said, "Try running again. I'm going to tell Gu Linchao right away."
Wen Nongnong didn't care about him. As long as she ran away quickly enough, he wouldn't have any evidence.
Xiao Yan was dumbfounded, never expecting that she would be unafraid of his threats.
"If you don't stop, I'm going to call your name... Nephew's wife." He gritted his teeth, and with a somersault, he leaped up.
He was determined to catch her this time.
The little brat dares to throw even his uncle; he's utterly lawless.
