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

Madam Pei slammed her hand heavily on the rosewood armrest.

The jade bracelet made a crisp sound when it was tapped, and it almost shattered.

She glanced down at the bracelet and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw it was intact, but the anger on her face did not diminish in the slightest.

The old woman beside her rubbed her wrist and advised, "Madam, please calm down, or your hand will hurt."

"Calm down?"

Madam Pei sneered, "Look at her, she's becoming more and more unruly!"

"Yu'er was seriously injured in the hunting grounds before, but she didn't care at all and went back to her parents' home to avoid trouble."

"She only leisurely returned after Yu'er's injuries had almost healed. Does she think my manor is her Lin family's? That she can come and go as she pleases?"

The old woman didn't dare to reply, but gently patted her back to help her catch her breath.

Madam Pei grew angrier the more she spoke.

"Don't think I don't know. Yu'er went to work at the government office while she was still injured, just to run around for her damn family's affairs."

She paused for a moment, then added, "It's fine if she can't have children; that's fate. I don't blame her."

"How can she not even care for her husband and respect her mother-in-law?"

After listening to her vent, the nanny found a moment to calm her down and carefully comforted her.

"Madam, she is still young. Some things can be taught gradually."

"Young? Teach her slowly? Haven't I taught her enough? Look at her attitude, she dared to just turn her back and walk away."

The old woman sighed and fell silent.

It took Madam Pei a long time to suppress her anger.

"If there's still no sign of pregnancy after the old lady's birthday celebration, I'll definitely teach her a lesson."

On the other side, Lin Zhiyao came out of the flower hall, and the sky had completely darkened.

The maid Xiaoxing was waiting outside the hall, pacing anxiously.

"Madam, you've finally come out!"

"I had been following the Second Master the whole way. When Ah Jin helped the Second Master to the east wing to rest, I quickly came to inform the Madam."

But to my surprise, the lady was tripped up, and I couldn't get in, so I could only wait outside.

"What else is there to say? Lead the way!" Lin Zhiyao urged, taking a step forward.

She walked extremely fast, almost as if she were running.

My cousin said that the medicine was extremely potent, and if it was delayed for too long, it might harm the Second Master's health.

Finally arriving at the door of the side room, she was about to push the door open when she suddenly stopped.

The door was not closed completely, leaving a crack.

A gust of wind blew, causing the door to sway, and the messy light and shadow inside the room could be vaguely seen.

Not right.

A strong sense of foreboding washed over her, and Lin Zhiyao raised her hand to rest on the door frame.

The door creaked open, and the sight inside left her completely stunned.

Broken porcelain shards were scattered on the ground, tea water soaked the jade bricks, and dark water stains meandered along the way.

The thin blanket beside the tatami mat slipped to the floor, crumpled into a ball, with traces of undried water still remaining on it.

The air was filled with an indescribable smell, a mixture of incense and something else.

Pei Zeyu lay on the soft couch, seemingly asleep.

His right hand hung slightly, his fingers curled up, as if he was still holding something.

But there was nothing beside him.

Lin Zhiyao stood frozen at the doorway, the autumn wind blowing in from behind her, making her feel cold all over.

A terrible thought crept into my mind.

Someone has been here.

She entered this side room while her mother-in-law was holding her back.

...she touched her husband.

"Madam, what should we do?"

Xiao Xing stood at the door, her eyes nearly popping out of their sockets in shock.

Lin Zhiyao's mind was also buzzing, completely blank.

But she knew she couldn't panic at this moment.

"What? What should we do? You go out and keep watch; don't let anyone in."

The door closed, and the room returned to silence.

Lin Zhiyao approached and gazed at Pei Zeyu's sleeping profile. The fire in her chest made her eyes burn.

Second Master...

She whispered it silently in her heart.

The belt around her waist was untied, and her outer garment slipped off and fell to the ground.

The bed sank slightly as Lin Zhiyao lay beside him, her fingers touching the back of his hand. This time, she was finally not pushed away.

She closed her eyes, tears streaming down her face and disappearing into her hair.

"Second Master, I truly love you..."

"From the day we first met, when you stood side by side with Pei Dingxuan in a moon-white robe, your features were so delicate and beautiful, I could never take my eyes off you."

"I know you don't love me, and you're only pressuring me to get married because of your elders, but I... still want to be with you."

Even if it takes this method, you are my husband, and you will be mine for life.

She didn't say the rest.

The lamplight flickered, and the night breeze was cool.

Liu Wenying grabbed her collar and ran out from the east wing.

They ran and ran, for who knows how long, until they could run no more and finally stopped in a corner.

Few people come here. The tall sycamore trees reach for the sky, their dense foliage blocking out all light and shadow, and the moss in the corners of the walls is damp.

She could no longer hold on, and leaned against the wall, gasping for breath like a fish out of water.

My heart was still pounding wildly, like it was about to burst out of my chest.

Liu Wenying leaned against the wall, slowly slid down, and buried her face in her knees.

When I close my eyes, all I can see are images from not long ago.

Her breath was hot, her eyes were glazed, and her usually quiet face was flushed.

Like jade statues that were once unattainable, they fell from their altars and became tainted by the mortal world.

A tear slid down the corner of her eye.

She raised her hand and wiped it away fiercely.

Don't cry, don't panic.

But the tears seemed to have been unleashed, and they just wouldn't stop.

She wiped it away desperately, but it kept flowing.

She was terrified, more terrified than she had ever been.

She was afraid that after the incident, she would be kicked out of the mansion and experience the feeling of being kicked out again.

Fearing that he and Luo Luo would once again lead a life of hardship, all the days they had painstakingly built up collapsed overnight.

Since arriving here, she has been falsely accused of stealing, splashed with dirty water, and pushed off a cliff, but she has never been this afraid.

I'm so tired, really so tired.

She thought she could hold on, but now that something like this has happened, she suddenly doesn't know how to deal with herself.

Liu Wenying recalled Pei Zeyu's confused state.

Her face, cool and aloof like jade, was tinged with a vermilion red, and the corners of her eyes glistened with moisture.

He was looking at her, his gaze unfocused, as if he were looking at someone very important.

At the time, Pei Zeyu's situation was very strange; perhaps he himself did not know what had happened.

in case……

Liu Wenying looked up at the deep blue night sky, a faint light flashing in her eyes.

What if the Second Master wakes up and remembers nothing?

Everything that happens tonight will become her secret alone.

She doesn't need anyone to take responsibility for her food and sex; the only thing she needs to do is take responsibility for herself.

For her, the best option might be to do nothing at all.

Since it's a secret, she can keep it by herself.

Just like the secret of her time travel that she carries, she will never let anyone know.

Liu Wenying was lost in her thoughts when she was suddenly patted on the shoulder.

Startled, she turned around and met a pair of mischievous, almond-shaped eyes.

Pei Yaojun stood behind her, looking down at her with a playful smile on his lips, as if to say, "Got you."

But when his gaze fell upon her long eyelashes, glistening with tears, his smile froze on his lips.
