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

"Sister-in-law looks radiant today."

Pei Yaojun greeted Wen Jingshu with a smile, but his gaze swept over Liu Wenying, who stood with her head bowed.

Liu Wenying noticed this and lowered her head even further, wishing she could shrink into a ball.

Why is he here again?

Wen Jingshu did not notice anything unusual and greeted him with a smile, asking about his recent life, academic performance and other everyday matters.

Pei Yaojun replied half-heartedly, but his gaze kept drifting uncontrollably towards Liu Wenying.

He looked at her downcast profile and recalled her reddened eyes that day, and then he remembered the fleeting glimpse behind the artificial hill even earlier.

A feeling I couldn't quite put into words rose in my heart, but it was quickly dispelled by the solid blow that struck me.

He should be settling scores with her; how could he forget the purpose of his trip?

Liu Wenying felt like she had thorns in her back; time seemed to pass so slowly, every breath was torture.

She desperately wanted to leave, but couldn't find a suitable excuse.

Pei Yexuan, who was in his arms, suddenly squirmed and then burst into tears.

"The young master has peed!" she exclaimed urgently.

Wen Jingshu then asked her to take Ye'er to the side room to change her diaper.

Liu Wenying felt as if she had been granted a pardon and quickly left with her child in her arms.

No one else noticed anything amiss, simply assuming that she genuinely cared about the young master.

Pei Yaojun narrowed his eyes. Trying to avoid him? No way.

Inside the side room, Liu Wenying had just changed Pei Yexuan's diaper and the little guy, now comfortable, started playing with his fingers again, babbling away.

"Go and pour out the water."

Liu Wenying gave the order without looking up, but after a while, no one responded.

The maid Hongyu, who was originally guarding her side, was nowhere to be seen, and a tall, slender figure was leaning against the doorway at some unknown time.

Pei Yaojun crossed his arms and leaned leisurely against the door frame.

His captivating eyes glanced at her with a half-smile, an arrogant look on his face as if he were there to collect a debt.

Liu Wenying's heart sank, and she took a few steps back, her lower back hitting the edge of the bed.

"Third Master, what brings you here? This is the First Madam's courtyard..."

The implication was that Tinglan Courtyard was not a place where he could cause trouble at will.

Pei Yaojun chuckled and strolled in slowly.

He didn't forget to close the door slightly behind him; although it wasn't completely closed, it was enough to block most of the view from the outside.

"I know."

His tone was languid, with a playful, cat-and-mouse air, "Why can't I have my hands on this young master of Tinglan Courtyard?"

"That's not what I meant..."

He approached step by step, and Liu Wenying could only retreat step by step.

Until his back pressed against the cold wall, with nowhere left to retreat.

Pei Yaojun stopped in front of her, mimicking the frivolous tone of those spoiled young men harassing respectable women.

"Why are you hiding? Weren't you quite capable the other day? Hmm?"

Liu Wenying was so provoked that she was both ashamed and angry, and almost raised her hand to hit him without thinking.

"Tired of staying in the Duke's mansion?"

The raised hand froze, then slowly fell back down as if rusted.

How could she possibly get tired of it?

She didn't want to leave the Duke's mansion, and even less did she want to leave the young master and the first wife.

Over the years, she and the First Madam have grown to know and cherish each other, and there's also the little master who's growing up day by day and giggling at her.

She couldn't bear to part with it.

It has to be said that Pei Yaojun really had her weakness in the palm of his hand.

Liu Wenying bent her neck and lowered her head to beg for mercy: "This servant knows her mistake. All the things I did in the past were wrong. Please be merciful and don't make things difficult for me anymore."

She was already beautiful, but now her eyes were filled with tears, and her long eyelashes were wet and glistening.

It was completely different from her sharp tongue that day.

Like pear blossoms in the rain, trembling as if about to fall.

Pei Yaojun's eyes darkened, his interest growing. "How can you call it a difficulty?"

He reached out his finger, as if wanting to touch the corner of her wet eye.

Liu Wenying was filled with shame and indignation, but she dared not easily dodge, for fear of angering the other party.

In a state of extreme tension and emotional excitement, she suddenly felt a familiar throbbing pain in her chest.

Milk overflowed.

The dampness and unmistakable milky smell emanating from her body made Liu Wenying feel utterly embarrassed.

She raised her hands to cover her face and was about to turn around.

Pei Yaojun moved faster than her, firmly pressing his hands on her shoulders and pinning her to the spot.

"What are you hiding for?" Pei Yaojun raised an eyebrow, then immediately understood. "Last time behind the artificial hill, was it also because of this?"

Liu Wenying's cheeks flushed slightly. "Yes... could I please take care of it?"

"What will happen if we don't deal with it?"

Instead of letting go, they became quite interested.

"My clothes will get soaked, and I'll be in a very embarrassing situation."

"Then let's not deal with it." He casually released his grip, a wicked smile playing on his lips. "What does your embarrassment have to do with me? I still need to settle the score for the time you slapped me in the face."

He felt comfortable as long as she was uncomfortable.

Liu Wenying was stunned.

Pei Yaojun: "Are you a blockhead or a goose? You're just standing there blankly."

Liu Wenying didn't care at all about his sarcastic remarks; saying a few words wouldn't hurt her.

She quickly grasped a key point: as long as she endured the discomfort and embarrassment of the leaking milk and didn't deal with it immediately, he would stop pursuing the matter of the blow to the head that night.

This deal sounds like a great deal.

She comes from the modern era, and for her, milk leakage during lactation is a perfectly normal physiological phenomenon.

While getting your clothes wet is certainly embarrassing, that's about it.

Compared to receiving a severe beating or being kicked out of the mansion, this was a better option.

This discomfort and embarrassment are nothing to mention.

Thinking of this, her originally intense feelings of shame and indignation strangely subsided considerably.

This was a good deal.

"Third Master, are you serious?"

Seeing that she was no longer embarrassed or annoyed, Pei Yaojun felt that his difficult behavior had become boring.

The eyes that were just moments ago filled with fear and anxiety now only showed... pragmatism and consideration?

Why does this woman never play by the rules?

Shouldn't she be even more ashamed and mortified?

Just as Pei Yaojun was about to say something more to try and regain some ground, footsteps sounded outside the door.

"Has Ye'er's diaper not been changed yet?"

Before she could finish speaking, Wen Jingshu had already pushed open the door and walked in.

Seeing Pei Yaojun, who had left not long ago, still standing there, they couldn't help but be surprised.

"Why are you still here? Didn't you say you were going back?"

Pei Yaojun quickly suppressed his emotions and resumed his usual nonchalant demeanor.

"I was just about to leave, but I thought I'd drop by and see my nephew one last time."

Wen Jingshu had no suspicions.

With his elder sister-in-law present, Pei Yaojun, despite his many thoughts, could no longer continue his almost shameless entanglement.

While Wen Jingshu was looking at Ye'er, he leaned close to Liu Wenying's ear and whispered something quickly.

"You wait."

The voice, still tinged with anger, was like a brand branded onto Liu Wenying's ear.

After saying that, he left.

Only after he left did Liu Wenying's tense nerves relax slightly.

The damp, sticky feeling on my chest is still vivid and extremely uncomfortable.

She hunched over, trying to hide it.

The little trick did not escape Wen Jingshu's eyes. She was a mother too; even if she hadn't eaten pork, she had seen pigs run. After a moment's thought, she understood the reason.

"It seems that Ye'er has recently started eating complementary foods, and her milk supply is more abundant, which is not entirely a good thing."

Liu Wenying was so embarrassed she wanted to disappear into the ground. "Madam..."

Wen Jingshu didn't tease her and said considerately, "Alright, there's nothing wrong here. You should go back and change into some dry clothes. It's not comfortable to be sticking to me like this."

"Madam Xie!"
