Transmigration into a Book: My Lord, Your Wife Has Taken Another Concubine for You

Lin Yanran shook her head in refusal, "This task is urgent, so don't worry about the money. It's best to get everything done within a month."

You only need to occasionally take people to check on the progress; you don't need to leave the manor every day, but on the surface, you still need to be around me frequently.

Besides, I don't really trust the newly promoted people. I'm still used to having you guys serve me.

Before the original owner got married, she had twelve head maids who had served her since childhood.

The eldest princess also put a lot of effort into training the maids around the original owner, and she even chose those who were orphans.

The four people currently by her side all decided on their own initiative not to marry before the original owner got married, and instead chose to serve her.

So, Mei and the others have been by the original owner's side for many years.

Seeing that her mistress trusted her so much, Wenmei was naturally overjoyed. "Don't worry, Madam, I will definitely handle this matter well."

If anyone asks, I'll say, "Would it be alright if you sent me to Zhiren Academy to deliver food to the Second Young Master?"

Lin Yanran nodded in agreement, "Wenmei, that's a good idea. You can really bring Heng'er some snacks and cold dishes made in the kitchen every time you go. Heng'er likes to eat them."

Lin Yanran couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "There are smart people everywhere!"

Upon hearing that her master agreed with her opinion, Wenmei bowed with the blueprints in hand and immediately went to get to work. Since her master needed it urgently, she couldn't delay his business.

However, before leaving, Wenmei instructed Wenlan and Wenzhu to take good care of their master.

Wenmei also dragged Wenju out of her room full of poisons and told Wenju to stop researching her little treasures for the time being.

She would stay by her master's side at all times, and if anything happened to her master, she would burn all of Wenju's little darlings to the ground.

As for why Wenmei still brought out Wenju after Wenzhu, who was skilled in medicine, was already there?

The main problem is that Wen Zhu, who studies medicine, is rather simple-minded, while Wen Lan prefers to solve problems herself. Wen Mei is genuinely worried about having Wen Lan and Wen Zhu overseeing things for their master.

Wenju, on the other hand, is lazy and likes to keep small animals (such as scorpions), but she is also a meticulous and cunning person.

Moreover, Wenju never flaunts her things in front of others. With Wenju by her master's side, Wenmei can focus on her work outside the manor with peace of mind.

Lin Yanran looked at Wenju, who was usually rarely seen, but since Wenmei left, he had been following Lin Yanran around and serving her every step of the way.

Lin Yanran found it strange. "I'm more curious, how did Mei manage to persuade you, someone who's usually so lazy and unwilling to move?"

Wenju smiled as she brewed tea for Lin Yanran, "That's only because Madam is so lenient, allowing me to be so lazy. Sister Wenmei isn't often by your side, so I was originally worried about her."

As for what Madam was curious about, there was only one reason: Sister Mei threatened me, saying that if even a hair on Madam's head were to fall, she would burn all my treasures.

Speaking of this, Ju still felt a little aggrieved. How could anyone think of touching her precious treasure when they were just talking?

Lin Yanran was even more surprised when she heard Wenju say this. "You can actually be threatened by Wenmei?"

With a smile, Juhua explained, "Madam, you may not know this, but Wenlan, Wenzhu, and even you, Master, are all genuinely afraid of my precious servants. But only Sister Wenmei, she's truly fierce!"

She actually dared to grab those poisonous treasures of mine with her bare hands. Sometimes I even wondered, and I asked Sister Mei, "Who exactly is making the poison?"

Ask Mei: As long as you're not afraid of death, there's no obstacle you can't overcome.

Lin Yanran laughed heartily upon hearing this, "I didn't expect the four of you to get along so well in private."

Wenju quickly placed the freshly poured tea in front of Lin Yanran. "Madam, please taste the tea I poured and the tea brewed by Sister Wenmei. Which one is more fragrant?"

Lin Yanran picked up her teacup, took a sip, and said with amusement, "Are you trying to shut me up?"

Wenju nodded hurriedly, "Every now and then, you ask us if we want to get married. You've been asking us for over ten years now, and generally speaking, you ask me the most."

Please spare me! I was born in a brothel, and before I was seven, I had seen through all the pleasures of love and lust in this world. I cannot change my mind.

Lin Yanran searched her mind for the original owner's memories, and indeed the original owner would ask this question every now and then.

The original owner genuinely cared for her maids, fearing they might regret it and be too embarrassed to say anything.

When Lin Yanran arrived, she also wanted to ask, but she thought that if she asked Mei and the others about their ages, they wouldn't be able to marry into any good families in this era.

Lin Yanran didn't ask any more questions. She felt that as long as she treated them kindly in the past, and they really had something to say about it, they would dare to come and beg her to release the person.

Lin Yanran searched through the original owner's memories and indeed didn't see the part Wen Ju mentioned. "I've never heard you mention this before?"

"Perhaps in the past, I didn't want to say anything that might disturb your mood, since you were so engrossed in love. Wenlan and the others each have their own reasons for not wanting to get married, so from now on we will all stay with you, Madam."

Wenju said everything she had wanted to say over the years in one go, and she felt incredibly relieved.

In the year or so since Lin Yanran transmigrated here, she has been observing the daily behavior of these four people. Seeing that they are truly loyal, Lin Yanran is willing to treat them well.

Lin Yanran thought about asking Mei and the others about their ending in the original book, and she smiled and promised:

"Fine, if you don't want to get married, then don't. After I'm gone, I'll tell Xuan'er to treat you well and make sure you're not left destitute in your old age."

Upon hearing this, Wenju put down the teapot in her hand, bowed deeply, and said, "Thank you, Madam."

After thanking Ju, Wen smiled and politely declined, saying, "Madam, there's no need to instruct the young master to treat us well. After Madam passes away, we will be old and will follow her in death."

"Then the four of us will stay by your side to serve you, Madam. We can't let someone else snatch this wonderful job."

Wenju wasn't trying to please the mistress; that was truly her intention. Over the years, the four of them had stayed by their mistress's side, and as long as they completed their assigned tasks, the mistress didn't care what they did in private.

They would even secretly find excuses to bestow upon them good things that suited them.

Although they served their masters, they did not do hard labor. In fact, when they were not on duty, they were served by a maid.

Not to mention that their food, clothing, and daily necessities were all top-notch; many daughters of minor officials only received this kind of treatment.

After meeting their master, the four of them were practically living in a honey pot.

Lin Yanran smiled and promised, "There's no rush. You guys can come down later, and I'll save the seats next to me for the four of you."

Regardless of whether she can actually do it, Lin Yanran is willing to make this promise at this moment.

Wenju was quite moved. She reached out and wiped the tears from her cheeks. "What are you saying, Madam? It's so unlucky. We'll go down first to scout the way for you."

Seeing this, Lin Yanran could only laugh and tease, "This is just a casual chat between us, mistress and servant, and you're getting all emotional. Quickly wipe your tears, or if the maids see you, Wenju's reputation will be ruined."
