She looked very haggard, and even her eyes were frightened and frightened. I remembered that when she was being beaten by a stick outside the house that day, although I didn't see it with my own eyes, she cried more miserably on that day. I could probably understand how much blow she had suffered.

As I said before, it is not that easy for a person to make a name for himself.

Even Yu Muya, recommended by Nangong Lizhu, danced in front of Pei Yuanhao for the first time, was beaten by a seemingly unrelated Pei Yuanzhen, not to mention such a small maid.

It is never more difficult for women to make a name for themselves than for men.

However, I did not intend to comfort her. After all, everything is her own choice, and she should have the courage to bear the consequences for what she does.

So I lowered my head and continued reading, but this time I didn't read for a while, I was disturbed by a noisy sound from afar. It sounded like a lot of people gathered outside to talk, and the noise was very loud. It was just that because I was too far away, the sound did not disturb me too much.

I subconsciously got up and looked out the window: "What's going on outside?"

"I, I don't know either."

"Let's go and have a look."

Speaking of which, I was really bored. When I had nothing to do, even a small thing would arouse great interest. When Caiwei heard me say this, she did not stop me. She just accompanied me out of the inner courtyard without saying a word. The guards at the door saluted me respectfully, and did not stop me.

As soon as I passed the small bridge outside, the noisy sounds became harsh.

We walked all the way out and when we reached the door, we were shocked by the scene here.

Outside the gate, hundreds of ordinary people gathered here, and those people were saying something loudly, but I couldn't hear a word clearly. I could only hear someone constantly thanking me, saying something like "Thank you, Miss", and "A hundred years of happiness".

I frowned slightly and walked to the door.

Only then did they see clearly that the people in the mansion took out a lot of rice and grain and piled them outside the door, putting up a few tables, and all the people were crowded up, and everyone was holding their pockets. When it was their turn, the people in the mansion scooped a large spoonful of rice and flour into their pockets and poured them in. The people took the things and left with great gratitude.

Are they giving?

I was stunned for a moment, not knowing why something happened suddenly. When I turned around, I happened to see Butu walking over from the side. When he saw me, he immediately came up to me to greet me.

I asked, "What's going on?"

He said, "It seems that this is all ordered by Miss Han."

"she?"

"Well. The wedding date of Miss Han and the young master is coming, so I donate to this door for three days. All the people can come here to collect rice and flour."

“…so.”

I looked back again - Xiao Ni and Xixi said that many places have suffered disasters this year, and many ordinary people are almost unable to get rid of their homes. When they heard that they have given charity here, they naturally came. Seeing their gratitude, they kept bowing to the mansion and muttering Han Ruoshi's name.

After looking at it for a while, I smiled faintly and said, "It's pretty good."

Butu didn't say anything, just looked at me quietly, and said carefully at this time: "It's hot, ma'am, let's go back and rest."

I nodded, and he turned around and ordered Caiwei. Caiwei agreed carefully and helped me back.

However, I did not return along the original road, but slowly walked along the lakeside. After a while, I walked to the place close to the grassland and found that the bustling here was actually no less than the gate. It was just that because I was far away, I didn't pay attention to it before.

I stood in the yard and watched quietly for a while. When the busy servants and maids saw me appear, they all came to salute, but they didn't stay for too long. After all, they all had their own busy work.

Some climbed up the high roofs and started to repair and clean them. The roofs and beams and pillars were repainted. The flowers and plants in the garden were also pulled out by workers and replanted. Some big trees were trimmed, and the whole garden looked completely refreshed.

Then, I saw the maids running back and forth in the bright red silk, obviously busy setting up new houses and halls.

They prepared for the upcoming wedding in this garden.

In fact, there have been regular repairs in the garden, and there is no need for such a big situation. But when I recalled the scene I just saw at the door, and Han Zitong came to me that day, and what I got was the result of my unwillingness to give up my wife's position, I understood somewhat why they had to do these things with such a big fanfare.

Now that this happens, the people in Jinling City know that Pei Yuanxiu is going to marry her eldest daughter of the Han family. He has made all his heart to donate rice and flour in this way. The people are easily bribed and are more likely to be forgotten. I think soon, the people here will not remember my wife, and, in addition, my wife did not do anything practical and beneficial to them, and they are full of the kindness of the new wife in their hearts.

In this way, it is no longer meaningful whether I will give up the position of this lady.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile faintly.

I turned around and said to Caiwei, "Help me go back."

"yes."

When the two of them returned to the inner courtyard, I became even more tired. I felt a little drowsy when I lay on the couch. But in the chaos, I could always feel someone's eyes staring at me. Although I didn't open my eyes, the feeling of being watched was particularly clear, or sensitive.

I lay down for a while and finally opened my eyes. When I opened my eyes, I met Caiwei, who was waiting aside, who had been staring at me. She turned her head away in a panic. I lay there and said softly: "What are you watching me do?"

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! She was stunned for a moment and turned around to look at me.

Then I slowly raised my head and looked straight into her eyes. In fact, I had known that if she could come back and continue to serve me, Pei Yuanxiu must have put her in obedience, but looking at the contradictory eyes that kept flashing in her eyes, it seemed that it was not the case.

She hesitated for a while before she looked up at me and said softly: "Madam, has Madam given up, right?"

“…”

"Madam is not going to leave?"

I slowly closed my hands and placed them on my chest, looked at her and said, "Why do you ask me that?"

"I--"

"Did the young master ask you to ask me?"

She waved her hand in a hurry: "No, no. It's me, I want to ask my wife."

“…”

As she said that, she looked at me with wide eyes and asked in a low voice: "Madam, you have given up and don't plan to leave again, are you?"

I looked at her for a while and said, "What about you?"

"I?"

"You always wanted to be successful before, but now? After this incident, do you think you can still be successful?"

“…”

She didn't say anything, and the entangled expression in my eyes became even more contradictory.

I looked at her eyes that seemed to have countless emotions colliding, almost hitting sparks, and smiled faintly, saying, "Of course people are afraid of pain, and they are all seeking benefits and avoiding harm. No one will hit the head against the wall again and again without repentance for no reason. If you don't even want to be tortured again and give up the idea of ​​making a name for themselves, of course I will not want to do useless work anymore. Every time I am caught and placed under house arrest here."

"I……"

"But if you don't even give up, maybe others may not give up so easily."

“…!”

She stood there blankly, as if she was being held back from breathing.

I smiled at her faintly, and then closed my eyes again.

For some reason, accompanied by the sound of knocking outside and the noise from afar, I fell asleep quickly. After lunch, I was idle and lay on the couch again. While I was half asleep and half awake, I could feel Caiwei staying by my side and carefully shaking the fan for me. The cool breeze hit me, which made my sleepier deeper.

When the sun sets and the sunlight has plated the bamboo forest outside the door with a layer of golden edges, I finally woke up from my sleep in despair. As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Pei Yuanxiu walking in from outside.

The sunset light also coated him with a layer of gold edge, making people feel like they cannot look up.

He would always take time to eat with me, either for lunch or for dinner, and stay here every night, so I was not surprised to see him appear. Instead, Caiwei's face suddenly turned pale, and she took her back with her hands at a loss and retreated aside.

Pei Yuanxiu did not look at her, but walked directly to my couch and said with a smile: "Why are you going to bed now?"

I lowered my eyelids: "I didn't sleep well last night."

"Yeah?"

He listened and hurriedly sat next to me, reached out and stroked my cheek, and said softly: "Is it sha? Is it uncomfortable? Do you want Lao Yao to come and take a look?"

"No, I'm fine."

As I said that, I was about to close my eyes again.

But his hand gently rubbed my face and said softly: "Don't sleep first, wait for dinner before going to bed. Also, don't sleep too long in the afternoon, so as not to sleep at night."

After saying that, he ordered again: "Be careful in the future and serve the wife well."

Caiwei almost jumped up when she heard his voice, and said hurriedly: "Yes!"

He said so, and I had nothing to say. He was half coaxed and half dragged up from the couch. The maids had already brought supper, but I used some cool side dishes.

After dinner, it was getting dark and I thought he was going to bed and rest, but he suddenly said, "We will not stay in the inner courtyard tonight."

Um?
