Liu Wenying wanted to ignore it, but her clothes would soon be soaked through.
On the way back, we're bound to run into other people. It would be impolite, and even more embarrassing.
Just as I was getting anxious, I caught a glimpse of an artificial rockery standing at the corner of the garden not far away.
The area behind the artificial hill forms a relatively secluded corner, rarely visited by people on ordinary days.
Liu Wenying didn't have time to think much and quickly went around to the back of the artificial hill.
This place is indeed secluded, with a few clumps of sparse bamboo providing shade and blocking most of the view from the outside world.
She quickly turned her back to where she came from and untied the strap to deal with it...
In the hexagonal pavilion at the other end of the garden, Pei Yaojun was holding a slender cricket stem and playing cricket fighting with the servants.
Two crickets were fighting fiercely in the jar, their red antennae trembling and their black shells gleaming.
The servants around held their breath, not daring to utter a sound.
"Bite it! Red General, give it to me!"
However, the Red General, on which Pei Yaojun had placed high hopes, was somewhat hesitant to fight and was forced to retreat step by step by its opponent.
Pei Yaojun's handsome brows furrowed, full of impatience.
"We lost!"
After General Hong was defeated, Pei Yaojun threw his bulging purse on the table and told the servants to divide the money.
To his surprise, the Red General he had raised for half a month was bitten and fled in disarray. What an embarrassment.
Another servant who had been keeping watch outside the pavilion came in.
"Third Master, I just saw a maid sneaking around behind that rockery. Do you think... it might be another one from one of the courtyards who's still persistent and is deliberately coming up here..."
The servant didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear: it was probably another case of wishful thinking and trying to climb the social ladder.
Normally, if the other party hadn't climbed into his bed and disgusted Pei Yaojun, he wouldn't have bothered with them and would have simply had them kicked out.
But at that very moment, he was losing the cricket fight and had nowhere to vent his anger, just as someone stumbled upon him.
Throwing away the grass stalk in her hand, a wicked glint flashed in Peach Blossom's eyes.
"Since she's here for me, how can we let her down?"
He wanted to go and catch her himself, and have a good time with her.
Pei Yaojun walked around the jagged artificial hill and indeed saw a slender figure with her back to him, seemingly busy with something.
He caught a faint scent and before he could even discern it, he grabbed the woman's shoulder and forcefully turned her around.
"lurking here so suspiciously, what are you planning to do...?"
The reprimand came to an abrupt end.
Instead of the shy and timid face I had expected, what came into view was a blinding white.
The sunlight was so bright that it made the skin on her shoulders appear almost translucent white, and then...
Pei Yaojun's head buzzed, and his arrogant eyes, which had been wide open just a moment ago, were now staring intently at the scenery he had never seen before.
His handsome face flushed red, especially his ears, which turned a deep red.
Liu Wenying was so frightened that she was scared out of her wits!
She never expected that she would be seen hiding here to deal with the situation.
Not only did they bump into each other, but the man was none other than the Third Master of the manor, a man of fine appearances but ruthless methods.
She had personally witnessed him ordering the beating and killing of the maid who had climbed into his bed.
Liu Wenying trembled as she pulled up her collar and frantically tied her sash, not caring whether it was a knot or not.
She was prepared to withstand the other person's anger, but to her surprise, the other person stood there frozen, staring blankly, as if they had lost their soul.
The opportunity is coming!
Without thinking too much about why he reacted that way, the instinct for survival overwhelmed everything.
While Pei Yaojun was still in a daze, Liu Wenying pushed him away with all her might, and like a startled rabbit, she rushed out of the artificial hill and quickly disappeared into the flowers and plants.
Inside the pavilion, several servants were still craning their necks to look around, whispering and speculating how the Third Master would deal with the audacious little maid.
"I'm definitely going to get a scolding!"
"In my opinion, they should be slapped and kicked out."
"Maybe they'll just have the old woman drag him out and give him a beating!"
As they were discussing this, a figure flashed by from the artificial rockery. It wasn't the imposing Third Master who appeared, but a slender figure.
She ducked her head to protect her chest and dashed away, disappearing in a flash, as if a demon were chasing her.
The servants were stunned and looked at each other in bewilderment.
What... what happened? Where is Third Master?
The group exchanged glances and hurried behind the artificial hill.
Their usually flamboyant and unrestrained Third Master was standing with his back to them beside the artificial rockery, one hand still covering the arm he had just been bumped into.
"Third Master, are you alright?" a servant asked cautiously, stepping forward. "Should we go and bring that maid back?"
"Yes, she dared to offend you; she must not be let off lightly!"
Upon hearing this, Pei Yaojun turned his head sharply, and only then did the servants see his expression clearly.
Her face was still the same striking face, but there was an unnatural redness on her cheeks and behind her ears.
His gaze was also somewhat unfocused, unlike his previous sharp and piercing look; there was a rare hint of panic...or confusion?
The servants were starting to doubt their own eyes.
"What are you chasing?!"
Pei Yaojun seemed to have been stepped on, his voice rising several decibels above his usual volume, his irritation only making things worse.
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to bother with a maid who doesn't know any manners!"
Catching sight of the milky white dewdrops on the lush green bamboo leaves among the bamboo grove, Pei Yaojun immediately looked away and added, "And what happened today, no one is allowed to tell anyone, understand?"
When did their Third Master become so magnanimous?
The servants were full of doubt, but they still bowed and replied, "Yes, yes, we didn't see anything."
Pei Yaojun said no more, pursed his lips and walked out with a sullen face, and the crickets stopped fighting.
Youyuxuan.
Startled by Pei Yaojun's outburst, Liu Wenying ran back and remained terrified for a while, fearing that he would come looking for her.
But after waiting for a long time, everything in Youyu Pavilion remained calm, and the other party seemed to have no intention of pursuing the matter.
Liu Wenying finally breathed a sigh of relief. When she came to her senses, it was already evening, and she couldn't catch up on her sleep.
She was on duty that night, and forced herself to go to Tinglan Courtyard.
After several days of living in such fear and trepidation, Liu Wenying finally relaxed completely.
Granny Tian also brought good news.
Because Qiuyue was driven away, there were not enough wet nurses in the manor, and they were afraid that the young master would not be served well enough.
During this period, she was busy looking for suitable women outside, and finally found two more respectable women from the Shen family to enter the mansion.
After some examination and instruction, there are now four wet nurses in Youyuxuan.
With ample manpower, the work schedule was naturally readjusted.
Each person only needs to guard for three hours, which is much easier than before.
Granny Tian was fined her monthly allowance, but Liu Wenying did not forget her promise and still gave her half of her allowance.
Therefore, she was specially assigned to the daytime shift, where the work was relatively lighter.
With this, Liu Wenying's daily routine finally returned to normal, and she was able to have more energy to spend time with Luo Luo.
Luo Luo wasn't originally called by this name; she was called Amai, Chen Amai.
It was the original owner's mother-in-law who casually picked the wheat outside when she saw it was ripe, in a perfunctory and careless manner.
Liu Wenying felt awkward after she transmigrated; her daughter deserved a better-sounding name with a more beautiful meaning.
Her original surname was also Liu, so her daughter took her mother's surname.
She hopes her daughter's life can be as free as drifting clouds, yet also have a stable and secure place to settle down.
Then let's call him... Yunluo, Liu Yunluo.
Now, Luo Luo is over four months old and is no longer a baby who only knows how to eat and sleep.
She could firmly grasp the cloth tiger that Liu Wenying had made from scraps of fabric, and she could laugh heartily as she looked at Liu Wenying's face.
The bond of blood is truly amazing.
If the Chen family doesn't want them, then they can rely on each other and live a decent life.
