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

As Liu Wenying finished speaking, the shadows of the trees swayed.

Immediately afterwards, a tall figure strolled out of the darkness.

Who else could it be but Third Master Pei Yaojun?

The red dress was tinged dark by the moonlight, but it couldn't hide the unrestrained spirit in her eyes.

A smile played on his lips, and his eyes shone brightly.

"Look, I cleverly set a trap and caught a rabbit."

Liu Wenying was both helpless and furious.

She handed over the silver ingots and black lacquer mother-of-pearl inlaid box she had collected along the way, saying, "Third Master is joking. I am a human, not a rabbit. And please remember to keep your things safe."

Pei Yaojun leaned against a tree trunk, crossed his arms, and smiled, revealing a set of white teeth.

"What I threw away, there's no reason to ask for it back. If you picked it up, it's yours."

"I cannot accept a reward without merit. This was bestowed upon Third Master by the Eldest Princess, and I dare not overstep my bounds."

"What reward or not, just a bunch of mundane things."

Pei Yaojun curled his lip, displaying the typical indifference of a scion of a noble family towards material possessions.

"The manor doesn't lack these things. Didn't you also receive a reward today? Since we're both from the palace, you can just keep them all."

"But……"

Seeing that Liu Wenying was still trying to refuse, Pei Yaojun frowned slightly, as if threatening her.

"What? The reward I gave you wasn't as dignified as the one the Princess gave you?"

That's a bit of sophistry.

Liu Wenying knew his temperament; if she continued to refuse, she feared he might say something even more shocking.

She stopped insisting, took back the silver ingots and the box, and curtsied, saying, "Then this servant thanks Third Master for the reward."

She accepted it, and Pei Yaojun's smile deepened, clearly in a very good mood.

Liu Wenying suddenly remembered how terrified Ling'er had been earlier.

"Third Master, there is something I don't understand."

"Hmm? You go ahead."

Pei Yaojun was in a good mood and quite patient.

"Not long ago, Ling'er got up in the middle of the night and said she saw a dark shadow lingering behind the tent. Could that shadow have been you, Third Master?"

"Cough cough..."

Pei Yaojun feigned a cough, his eyes darting around, and retorted with a weak but confident tone.

"How else can I lure you out?"

"Third Master's method didn't lure me out first, but it scared Ling'er half to death, she almost lost her soul."

Pei Yaojun, as if discovering something interesting, leaned closer and asked curiously, "Then why weren't you scared?"

"In the dead of night, in the middle of nowhere, if a dark figure suddenly appeared, an ordinary woman would have screamed long ago."

She, on the other hand, was carrying a stick and a stone. If he hadn't run away quickly, he would have experienced the same feeling of being hit over the head last time.

Pei Yaojun looked Liu Wenying up and down, as if he were examining some rare object.

Why weren't you scared?

Liu Wenying smiled bitterly to herself.

Having personally experienced such a bizarre event as time travel, if ghosts truly existed in this world, she would really like to have a chat with them.

Ask yourself what kind of world this is, and why you came here.

But these thoughts could not be spoken aloud.

"This servant only thought that the imperial guards were stationed in the hunting grounds, and that they patrolled very closely."

Moreover, with His Majesty personally present at the hunting grounds, the majesty of the Son of Heaven is undeniable; how could demons and monsters dare to approach so easily?

Upon hearing this, Pei Yaojun was first taken aback, then burst out laughing, his shoulders shaking with laughter.

"You, you have such a silver tongue... It's a pity the palace is far away, His Majesty can't hear your flattery."

Liu Wenying was a little embarrassed by his laughter, but she wasn't too annoyed. She simply said, "If Third Master has nothing else to say, this servant will take her leave now."

Seeing that she hadn't returned for a long time, Ling'er was afraid that she would worry and go out to look for her again. If she encountered some ghost or spirit again, she might really get sick from fright.

However, after taking only two steps, my wrist was grabbed.

"What's the rush?"

Previously, Pei Yaojun was kept in close watch by his father in public and was unable to get close to her.

"During the day, with so many people around, I had so much to say, but now that it's late at night and quiet, I can finally tell you all about it."

"What does Third Master want to say?"

Pei Yaojun didn't answer directly, instead keeping the question a secret.

"I've found a great place. Come with me, and I guarantee you'll be amazed."

It was getting late, and Liu Wenying didn't really want to go.

Noticing her hesitation, Pei Yaojun glanced meaningfully at the object in her arms.

"What? You just accepted my reward, and now you're turning your back on me? I assure you, it's an absolutely rare and beautiful sight, and I won't harm you."

He spoke in a way that was half joking and half joking.

Unfortunately, Liu Wenying was indebted to those who had given her money.

Indeed, he acted absurdly, but he was undeniably generous.

Those silver coins and jewels were nothing to him, but for her they were a considerable windfall.

Furthermore, judging from his expression, he didn't seem to have any wicked thoughts.

"Then please lead the way, Third Master."

Pei Yaojun beamed, his feigned arrogance vanishing completely.

He released her and produced a fine handkerchief from who-knows-where.

"Here, put this over your eyes."

Liu Wenying was taken aback: "Why are you blindfolded?"

"I told you it was a surprise, so of course I can't let you see it beforehand."

Pei Yaojun said confidently, "Hurry up, I'll take you there. I promise we'll be steady and you won't fall."

Unable to resist him at all, Liu Wenying folded the handkerchief several times, covered her eyes, and tied a knot behind her head.

Suddenly, darkness enveloped everything, and there was no light at all under the moonlight.

Give me your hand.

Liu Wenying has no sight and can only perceive the world through touch and hearing.

She slowly reached out, and a warm, dry hand enveloped her delicate hand, its fingers interlacing.

Their fingers were intertwined as he led the way, reminding her from time to time to lift her feet carefully and watch out for pebbles and gentle slopes.

Liu Wenying was blindfolded and could only completely trust his guidance.

The familiar fine sand beneath my feet gradually became uneven and pitted.

I walked slowly onto the soft, yielding grass.

The night breeze caressed my face, bringing the scents of grass and earth, making it even fresher.

The campfires were left far behind.

After walking for about half a cup of tea's time, the two stopped.

"arrive."

He was thrilled, released her hand, and turned around behind her.

Liu Wenying stood quietly, hearing the babbling of flowing water and the rustling of the wind through the tall grass.

The air is moist and cool, with a unique fishy sweetness characteristic of the waterside.

She raised her hand to untie it.

"Don't move, I'll untie you."

He was very close; his breath tickled my ear as he spoke.

The restraints in front of her were gently removed, the handkerchief slipped off, and Liu Wenying blinked, adjusting to her restored vision.

However, the sight that came into view made her pupils dilate and she forget to breathe.

Before me lay a low-lying meadow, surrounded by high earthen slopes that acted as a natural barrier, isolating me from the hustle and bustle of the world.

It is light.

The light, stretching across the sky and the earth, endless and gently shimmering.

Tens of thousands of fireflies rose up, like a galaxy falling to earth, their emerald light illuminating the night sky.

Thousands of fluorescent green dots floated around them, like stars or mist.

The grass and trees beneath our feet glowed, and fireflies formed a curtain overhead.

It seemed as if only this dazzling light remained in the world, a beauty that seemed otherworldly.

Do you like it?
