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

Liu Wenying never imagined that her beloved daughter would be placed in the Third Master's courtyard.

"Godmother, what exactly happened? Why did Luo Luo go to Zhaolin Courtyard?" She hurriedly pressed for details.

Granny Tian recounted in detail, "The day the young master went missing, the manor was in complete chaos. Everyone, from top to bottom, was sent out to search for him, including Xiaozhu and me."

"Luo Luo is only a little over a year old and needs constant care. Where in the manor is there anyone to look after her?"

"It was Third Master who took pity on the child and specially instructed Ah Cai to take Luo Luo to Zhaolin Courtyard. He also instructed the people in the courtyard to take good care of her, and to provide her with food, clothing, and shelter without any neglect."

After figuring it out, Liu Wenying felt a rumbling in her ears, as if something had exploded in her heart.

A feeling of suffocation suddenly overwhelmed her, making her chest feel tight and constricted.

She misunderstood Third Master, thinking that he had brought her back on a whim.

Little did she know that during the days when she was imprisoned and her life hung in the balance, it was he who took care of her young daughter.

Just moments ago, I had spoken harshly to him, bluntly chased him away, and ruthlessly distanced myself from him.

As Liu Wenying was filled with mixed feelings, someone came to visit at the door.

Ah Cai carried Luo Luo, who was dressed in brand-new clothes, into the room. The little girl was fair-skinned and looked very happy, having been living a very good life at Zhaolin Courtyard.

"Nanny Liu, you're finally back. Third Master ordered that now that you've returned safely, the child should go back to his mother's side."

Liu Wenying took her daughter's soft body in her arms, her nose tingling, and she almost shed tears.

Knowing that Luo Luo was in Zhaolin Courtyard, and that she had offended the Third Master, she originally thought that if she went to Zhaolin Courtyard to ask for Luo Luo back, she would definitely be harassed by him.

To her utter surprise, before she could even set off, he had already arranged for someone to send the child back.

She had always thought that people who were vindictive and petty could also have a gentle, kind, and warm-hearted side.

When Luo Luo saw her mother, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, a sweet smile spread across her exquisitely beautiful face. She held on tightly to her mother's hand, crying, "Mommy, hug me!"

The soft little dumpling nestled in her arms warmed Liu Wenying's heart, which had been hanging in suspense for so long, and finally put her at ease.

She lowered her head and gently rubbed the top of her daughter's soft hair, and all the fear and exhaustion of the past few days vanished at that moment.

Seeing the mother and daughter reunited, Ah Cai grinned and bowed, saying, "Little girl, I've delivered this to you. Now it's time for me to go back and report."

"etc."

Ah Cai turned around, his face contorted with worry. "What else does Granny Liu need? Third Master is holding back his anger right now. If I get back late, I might get punished."

Liu Wenying knew perfectly well where Pei Yaojun's anger came from.

His words just now were like knives, and he feared they had completely hurt his intention to help.

"Please ask Ah Cai to thank Third Master for me and also apologize for my words earlier. I'm sorry."

Upon hearing this, Ah Cai looked troubled. "Nanny Liu, it's not that I'm making excuses, but I can convey your thanks. However, I'm afraid I can't apologize..."

He waved his hands repeatedly, "It's not that I find it troublesome, but how can I let someone else do the apology for me? I have to go in person to show my sincerity."

Liu Wenying paused for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, she realized that what A-Cai said made sense.

"It was my oversight, but now I can hardly even get out of bed, let alone walk to Zhaolin Courtyard. Once I'm a little better, I will definitely go and apologize to Third Master."

"That's right! You're a wise woman, Granny Liu. I'll go back and report now. You take good care of your injuries."

After saying that, he didn't linger any longer and quickly turned and left.

Zhaolin Courtyard, main building.

The room was filled with the fragrance of incense, and the luxurious furnishings reflected the owner's extravagance and casualness.

Pei Yaojun changed into a casual crimson brocade robe with dark patterns, and leaned back on the wide couch, playing with an exquisite snuff bottle in his hand.

He seemed somewhat distracted, his gaze occasionally drifting towards the doorway.

Hearing footsteps, he didn't even lift his eyelids, and lazily asked, "Is the matter finished?"

Ah Cai jogged in and bowed crisply.

"Reporting to Third Master, it's all done! Luo Luo has been safely returned to Nurse Liu, and Nurse Liu is overjoyed, holding the child!"

Pei Yaojun hummed in response, his nasal tone lingering.

Ah Cai glanced at his expression, leaned forward, and looked smug.

"Third Master, guess what happened after you delivered it? From what I think it is, Nanny Liu really felt bad. She personally promised that once her legs are better, the first thing she would do is come to Zhaolin Courtyard to apologize to you in person!"

After saying that, Ah Cai looked at Pei Yaojun with bright eyes, his smile flattering and eager for credit.

Just now, Pei Yaojun stormed out of Liu Wenying's place, slammed the door, and hurried back to Zhaolin Courtyard, his face so gloomy it could drip water.

Ah Cai followed behind, observing their expressions and guessing what was going on.

When they returned to the courtyard, Ah Cai saw his master sitting there sulking, so he mustered up his courage and went over to offer some advice.

She said that even without the master taking the initiative to find her, she would make sure that Nanny Liu would personally come to apologize.

The words Ah Cai said when he sent Luo Luo back were deliberately prompted by Ah Cai.

Upon hearing Ah Cai's report that the method was indeed effective, Pei Yaojun's lips twitched, as if he wanted to smile, but he quickly pursed them halfway through.

He scoffed and casually tossed the snuff bottle onto the small rosewood table beside him.

"Who cares about her apology? She's just being delusional."

Ah Cai hurriedly nodded and bowed, "Yes, yes, Third Master, you are a magnanimous man, you certainly won't hold a grudge against a scoundrel. It was all my fault for being so talkative."

He readily agreed on the surface, but he knew perfectly well that his master was all talk and no action. If he didn't care, why would his expression be so contradictory?

"But Nurse Liu's injury looks really serious, it's swollen really badly, she'll need at least seven or eight days to recover before she can walk again."

"Seven or eight days? We have to wait that long?"

As soon as he said it, Pei Yaojun was stunned for a moment.

He then picked up the iced tea on the table and took a sip, trying to cover up his earlier lapse in composure.

Why did you reveal your true feelings?

If Ah Cai notices this, wouldn't it mean that he cares about her a lot?

Pei Yaojun cleared his throat, his face hardening again. "Go down."

Seeing his master's insincere expression, Ah Cai suppressed a laugh but dared not. He respectfully responded and withdrew.

The door closed, and the incense burned silently.

Pei Yaojun nestled in the soft pillow, his gaze fixed on a certain empty space as he pondered slowly.

Seven or eight days is such a long time, who would want to wait that long!

Inside the house, only Liu Wenying, her daughter, and Granny Tian remained.

After eating and drinking her fill, Luo Luo played for a while, but couldn't resist the drowsiness and fell into a deep sleep in her mother's arms.

Liu Wenying carefully placed her on the inside of the bed, covered her with a thin blanket, and only then did she have the mind to talk to Granny Tian.

Granny Tian sat on a small stool by the bed. What came into view was Liu Wenying's pale face. She sighed and began to talk about the situation in the mansion these days.

"After you and the young master went missing, the manor was in an uproar."

The First Madam fainted on the spot, and after she woke up, she kept crying. The First Master didn't say a word, but directly ordered his men to leave the mansion.

As for the culprit, Nurse Zhao…”
