Thrown out of the house, the wet nurse enters the noble household and becomes a person of high statu

Liu Wenying didn't mince words and recounted in detail how she was wrongly accused of stealing, how the First Madam wanted to kick her out of the mansion, how the bracelet was found in the makeup box, how the First Madam brought her back to apologize and make amends.

After listening, Granny Tian was filled with emotion and repeatedly said, "Amitabha, what a blessing!"

"Our lady is kind-hearted and reasonable. She knows she was wrong and is willing to swallow her pride to make amends."

"If it were any other master who cared about his reputation and was ruthless, even if he knew he had wronged you, he would probably just go along with it to maintain his authority."

Thinking of something, she lowered her voice and warned, "After this incident, you should be more careful. Seducing the master is a serious offense. If it weren't for Madam's discernment, you would have really been in trouble today."

She glanced at the doors and windows a few times to make sure no one was there before continuing, "Someone must be gossiping about you behind your back because of your appearance. Stay away from the master of the house from now on, and don't get involved in any more suspicion."

"Godmother, I'll remember that."

After this incident, Liu Wenying finally understood that the only things she could rely on in the mansion were her own duty and ability, as well as her master's trust.

As for the others, especially the male masters of the mansion, she would keep her distance.

After packing her things, Liu Wenying took Luoluo to the residence arranged by the First Madam.

Upon arrival, they learned that the First Madam's compensation and appeasement did not stop at ten taels of gold and a separate residence.

Two pomegranate trees grow in the courtyard, and brand-new wooden tables and benches are placed under the window. The kang (heated brick bed) in the inner room is covered with thick cotton mattresses.

In addition to all the basic necessities, there was also a young maidservant, about thirteen or fourteen years old, standing respectfully with her hands at her sides.

"This servant is Xiaozhu. The Madam has instructed that I will serve here from now on, helping the wet nurse take care of the children and doing some chores such as sweeping and washing."

Liu Wenying had to take turns caring for the young master and also had to find time to help the madam with the accounts, so her energy was really limited.

With Xiaozhu helping to look after Luoluo, she can concentrate more on her work and doesn't have to worry about her daughter being left unattended all the time.

Liu Wenying felt a warmth in her heart, and her eyes grew even warmer.

"Please thank the Madam for me."

With Xiaozhu's help, Liu Wenying quickly settled everything.

On her second day on duty, she discovered a minor but significant problem.

Although the house is quiet and comfortable, its location is indeed somewhat remote, quite a distance from Tinglan Courtyard. Every day, the staff on duty have to walk through most of the garden.

Having such a place to live is already quite good; Liu Wenying wouldn't mind.

That was the first time she rushed to Tinglan Courtyard, timing it perfectly.

She walked briskly along a cobblestone path when she suddenly heard shouts and laughter coming from ahead.

Liu Wenying had no interest in finding out anything; she just wanted to get there quickly so as not to miss her shift.

But then a brightly colored football came hurtling towards her face like a shooting star.

Instinctively, he raised his arm to block.

With a muffled thud, the kick struck her forearm and bounced to the ground.

The pain in her arm made her frown.

"Hey! You over there, bring the football over here!" Zhang Yang's voice rang out from not far away.

Liu Wenying looked up and saw a group of people standing on the neatly trimmed lawn in the garden.

The leader was dressed in fine clothes, with his black hair tied up high and his eyebrows and eyes were beautiful. Who else could it be but Third Master Pei Yaojun?

Just what I feared most has come to pass; how did I end up running into this little devil again!

Liu Wenying was inwardly groaning; she had already attracted Pei Yaojun's attention, and there was no way for her to escape.

He had no choice but to pick up the football and hand it over, saying, "Third Master, here's your football."

The voice was barely audible.

He didn't answer immediately, but stared at the top of her head, speaking with a teasing tone.

"Look at you, cowering like a quail. What's wrong? Did you do something wrong?"

Liu Wenying's heart pounded, afraid that he would recognize her. She tried her best to keep her voice down, saying, "Third Master is joking. This servant dares not."

"Since you don't dare, then raise your head and let me see you."

The sky is falling.

Why is he so difficult to deal with?

If this continues, Tinglan Academy will be late.

After much thought, I realized that the First Madam was more important than the Third Master. As long as the Third Master didn't know who she was, how could he cause trouble?

As for the First Madam, if she were to show the slightest negligence, she would certainly be punished severely.

Liu Wenying steeled her resolve, disregarding everything else, and threw the football at her feet, quickly saying, "My masters have other matters to attend to, so this servant will take her leave now."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and ran out of the garden.

A servant beside her spat, "What an unruly maid! The Third Master hasn't even told her to leave yet."

Pei Yaojun, however, was not angry. Watching her flee in panic, he found it both amusing and inexplicable.

Why does seeing him feel like seeing the King of Hell?

He bent down to pick up the football from the ground and weighed it in his hand.

Although she had kept her head down, he still caught a glimpse of her profile when she turned around after losing the ball.

She has fair skin, a pert nose, and cherry-like lips.

For some reason, this face gave him a sense of familiarity.

Where have I seen you before?

Pei Yaojun frowned and thought hard. Suddenly, the image of that dazzling white, voluptuous area behind the artificial rockery flashed through his mind.

A surge of heat rushed to my head without warning, and even the hand holding the football tightened involuntarily.

"Third Master? Are you ill? Why is your face so red?"

The servant beside him noticed that his expression was strange.

Pei Yaojun suddenly became enraged and roared gruffly, "I'm not sick! I got hot from playing football!"

After saying that, he kicked the football far away with great force, so powerful that even the servants next to him shrank back.

Third Master's temper really came out of nowhere.

I muttered to myself, but dared not ask any more questions, and quickly ran to retrieve the ball.

After dinner, Tinglan Courtyard was graced with the rare presence of Third Master Pei Yaojun.

Wen Jingshu was surprised to see her usually elusive brother-in-law visit, and she teased him about it.

"Hey, what wind blew our Third Master here at my Tinglan Courtyard today?"

Pei Yaojun held an exquisitely crafted rattle drum in his hand, his face as nonchalant as ever.

He casually placed the item on the table, saying, "I was passing by the market and saw this thing was interesting, so I brought it over for Ye'er to play with."

Wen Jingshu smiled and thanked him. Seeing his gaze sweeping around the room, she instructed, "Go and bring the young master here so his third uncle can take a look at him."

A short while later, Zhao, the wet nurse, brought the young master over.

Pei Yaojun teased his nephew, shoving the rattle drum into his hand, but his gaze unconsciously drifted toward the wet nurse standing beside him.

Only Zhao's wet nurse and a few other familiar maids were in the room; they were not the people he was looking for.

His interest waned somewhat, and after exchanging a few casual words with Wen Jingshu, he excused himself, saying he had something to do.

Seeing his hurried departure, Wen Jingshu felt a little strange, but she just assumed it was due to his youthful nature and didn't think much of it.

To everyone's surprise, Pei Yaojun came to Tinglan Courtyard again the following afternoon.
