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

Liu Wenying readily agreed, "Okay."

Since she doesn't have the original owner's memories now, the more she knows, the less likely she is to be exposed.

Although she guessed that her personality was probably similar to the original owner's.

Otherwise, as her husband who lived with her day and night, he should have noticed something was wrong long ago.

Pei Dingxuan was lost in memories.

The first time I saw her was at Tinglan Courtyard, where she was holding Ye'er and nursing him.

He stumbled upon it unintentionally, and should have avoided it, but somehow his feet seemed to take root.

Later, the Pei family went to the temple to pray for blessings, but it happened to be snowing heavily, blocking the mountain and creating a blizzard.

She rolled up her sleeves, picked up a shovel, and joined the team shoveling snow and clearing the way.

That fighting spirit is still fresh in my memory; it was in no way inferior to the other men.

From that time on, he paid special attention to her.

An avalanche suddenly occurred, and rocks tumbled down. Without thinking, he rushed over and shielded her in his arms.

The moment the snow buried her, he knew that his feelings for her were no longer just admiration.

Later, during the autumn hunt, she was covered in blood, her face filled with terror, like a lost bird, and she stumbled into his arms in a panic.

I can't bear to think about it anymore; she was so vulnerable at that moment that it broke my heart.

It made him want to protect her under his wings and keep her safe for a lifetime.

After recalling every detail, Pei Dingxuan locked his gaze on her.

"In my eyes, you are gentle and meticulous, resilient and talented, vibrant and dazzling, a unique existence in this world."

They can stand up in adversity, take care of others in times of crisis, and get back on their feet after being vulnerable.

Liu Wenying was stunned; she hadn't expected him to have such a high opinion of the original owner.

Putting aside the saying that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, even someone as outstanding as Pei Dingxuan, with his excellent appearance and family background, would probably only be attracted to someone equally outstanding.

He probably wouldn't even give a second glance to mediocre people.

"Anything else? Anything else?"

Pei Dingxuan looked at her face as she leaned closer and said with a smile, "And..."

He continued to reminisce and continue talking.

The deep voice brought a sense of security, and drowsiness gradually crept in.

Liu Wenying's eyelids began to feel heavy and slowly closed.

Pei Dingxuan was halfway through his speech when he suddenly realized that the person in his arms had stopped moving.

He looked down and saw that Liu Wenying had already closed her eyes.

She fell asleep, nestled against his chest like a kitten that had found its home.

Pei Dingxuan hugged her tightly and adjusted her position to make her more comfortable.

Then he lowered his head and kissed her between the eyebrows.

Not wanting to disturb her, I touched her with a touch as light as snow falling on a petal.

"In my eyes, no amount of words can express how good you are."

The night deepened, and all was quiet.

Even if it's all fake, a carefully orchestrated play, he'd still enjoy it.

Because at least for now, she is in his arms.

……

The sky in September is high, clear, and bright.

The chrysanthemums in the courtyard were in full bloom, their petals layered and fragrant, turning the ground into a golden carpet.

The osmanthus trees are in full bloom, with clusters of pale yellow flowers hidden among the dark green leaves, filling the air with a sweet fragrance.

Liu Wenying stood under the osmanthus tree, looking up at the tall blue brick wall.

What's outside the wall?

Since she woke up, Pei Dingxuan has placed her here, saying it's to recuperate.

The courtyard was exquisite, and he had everything he needed. He came almost every day to feed the children, take walks, dry their hair, and sleep with them. His care was impeccable.

But the courtyard was too quiet. Apart from Zhu'er and the always meek cook, she could hardly see anyone else.

By the way, the cook was also mute and couldn't speak. She used sign language, but Liu Wenying couldn't understand it.

"Madam, what are you looking at?"

Pearl brought over a plate of freshly made osmanthus cakes. Seeing her looking up, she also looked up.

"Pearl, what's it like outside the wall?"

"This is the valley. This is your quiet retreat, Madam. It's a secluded and tranquil place."

It's happening again. Liu Wenying pursed her lips.

Whenever asked about things outside, Pearl always gave such vague answers.

Pei Dingxuan did the same, only saying that she was not fully recovered and needed to rest quietly, and should not go out.

But she clearly felt perfectly fine, able to eat and sleep well, and apart from not being able to remember anything from the past and having no memories of the original owner, she felt no discomfort whatsoever.

"I'm so bored because I can't get out."

After Liu Wenying finished speaking, she lifted her skirt and stepped onto the stone bench next to the osmanthus tree.

Pearl exclaimed, "Madam!"

Liu Wenying ignored her and reached out to grab a thick branch.

This osmanthus tree is quite old; its trunk is thick and its branches grow horizontally, stretching diagonally towards the top of the wall.

She simply kicked off her embroidered shoes, increased the friction by walking barefoot on the protruding knots on the tree trunk.

"Madam, no! It's too dangerous!"

Pearl was so anxious she was about to cry. She wanted to go up and pull her, but she didn't dare to touch her. She paced around anxiously under the tree.

"I'm just taking a look, what's the rush?"

Liu Wenying climbed up using both her hands and feet.

Her skirt got caught on a tree branch, so she simply rolled up the wide sleeves of her outer garment, revealing a section of her fair forearm.

The movements were a bit clumsy, but still quite steady.

This body seems to be quite familiar with climbing, and should not be an ordinary lady from a wealthy family.

Liu Wenying was completely immersed in the osmanthus tree, and the fragrance became increasingly strong, almost intoxicating.

She finally climbed to a branch where she could stand, and used the trunk to help herself up.

The wall is right in front of us, just a little higher, and we'll be able to see outside.

"Yingniang".

A voice came from below, not loud, but deep.

Liu Wenying looked down.

Pei Dingxuan had arrived unnoticed and was standing under the tree, looking up at her.

He was wearing an indigo-blue casual suit today, with a black leather belt around his waist.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves and fell on his face. His expression was blank, and his eyes were like deep, dark pools.

"It's dangerous up there, come down first."

He repeated it again, softening his voice but still giving a command.

Liu Wenying pouted.

She was actually a little afraid of him, especially when he spoke in a deep voice, as if he were interrogating a criminal.

The Minister of Justice has such a big air about him.

The allure of the outside world and the fear in one's heart are balanced on both sides of the scale.

"No," she muttered softly.

"Yingniang." The voice lowered further.

The side representing timidity fell, and Liu Wenying had no choice but to give up.

There's plenty of time; there will always be opportunities.

She shifted her feet, making a gesture as if she was about to get down.

Just as my toes touched the branch below, a thought flashed into my mind.

She looked down at the man with his arms outstretched under the tree.

He was indeed ready to receive her, arms outstretched, his gaze fixed on her.

Liu Wenying blinked and smiled, "Open your hands a little wider."

Pei Dingxuan was slightly taken aback, then did as he was told to open his arms wider.

"I'm getting off!"

She actually jumped.

The azure skirt suddenly unfurled in the wind, like an upside-down flower or a bird spreading its wings.

The osmanthus blossoms were startled and fell in a flurry, their golden petals mingling with her dark hair as they danced in the wind.

In that instant, the flow of time slowed down, stretched into an extremely thin thread.

Pei Dingxuan's pupils suddenly dilated, and the muscles in his arms tensed.

Then, she fell into a firm, warm embrace.

Pei Dingxuan caught her very steadily, then pulled her close with both arms, holding her firmly against his chest.

The impact forced him to take half a step back before he regained his footing.
