Chapter 98: The Butler
Sure enough.
Li Jian'an looked at Chun Ge's eyes and couldn't help but feel a little more pity. He turned around and said to Chen Chunfang calmly: "Since she doesn't know how, you should work harder and let her learn slowly."
Then he turned around and talked to Chun Ge, "Next time it won't happen, just say it properly and stop crying. It's embarrassing." They were all words of blame, but they revealed a sense of intimacy and love.
Huang's mother was frightened when she heard that. She subconsciously looked at Chen Chunfang and saw that her hand hidden in the corner of the pillow had been pinched with red marks, and she almost screamed.
Chun Ge didn't expect to pass the test so easily, and didn't notice Li Jian'an's tone or Chen Chunfang's eyes. She just breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, put down her sleeves, and nodded with a blushing face.
Chen Chunfang glanced at Li Jian'an and saw that he kept looking at Chun Ge with a smile. She snorted coldly in her heart and said angrily: "The Duke is right. You and I are sisters. We are no better than the other people in our room. What's the matter with you?"
Just tell me. If you don't understand anything, just ask why you are crying. If others see it, they will think that I, the elder sister, are bullying you."
Li Jianan's originally smiling face suddenly became serious again.
After all, I still offended people.
Chun Ge knew that Chen Chunfang felt uncomfortable, but she didn't say anything. She pretended not to understand anything and sat on a small stool, wiping her tears.
Huang's mother had already returned the account book to its original place at Chen Chunfang's signal.
A little maid came in outside and said that Aunt Liu had brought the fifth girl to pay her respects.
Chen Chunfang smiled and said: "Aunt Liu brought Wu Niang to see me this morning. It's only been a while since she came here again. She must have heard that my sister is here and brought Wu Niang to see my new mother."
Let people go and bring Aunt Liu and Wu Niang in immediately.
Wu Niang, who was wearing a floral jacket, immediately became happy when she saw Li Jian'an. She broke away from the wet nurse's hand and was about to run towards Li Jian'an. She turned around and saw Li Jian'an with an indifferent expression and timidity.
He stood still.
Aunt Liu quickly pulled Wu Niang and asked her to greet Li Jianan and Chen Chunfang next to each other.
Wu Niang called her father and mother in a polite manner, and Aunt Liu pulled her to Chunge again, but she hesitated on her face.
Chen Chunfang had already spoken first: "Wu Niang, please call mother."
When a four-year-old child wanted to call her two mothers, Wu Niang looked up at Aunt Liu and said in confusion: "Auntie, how come there are two mothers?"
Aunt Liu, who was wearing a small cyan satin jacket and had flat facial features that originally looked a bit dull, showed a bit of embarrassment on her face. She pulled Wu Niang behind her and looked at Chen Chunfang's expression.
Seeing Chen Chunfang's eyes crinkling with laughter, Aunt Liu's hands shook for no reason.
Chun Ge sat nearby and watched, sighing, but remained silent.
At this time, it was better for me not to say anything. She had already made Chen Chunfang unhappy in the first place. If she spoke up now, Chen Chunfang might think that she was overstepping her authority and deliberately trying to win over her confidants.
Li Jian'an watched the scene in front of him calmly. When he saw Chun Ge looking at his nose with his eyes and his nose with his heart, he found it very funny.
Silly girl, if you don't speak, will Chen Chunfang think you are honest?
You still need more training. If you tolerate everything like this, although you won't get into trouble, you won't be able to intimidate others.
After shaking his head in his mind, Li Jianan calmly said to Wu Niang: "This is your mother too."
My father talked to me!
Wu Niang was very happy and became bolder. She asked again: "Are they all the same mother?"
Li Jian'an caught a glimpse of Chen Chunfang's uncomfortable look, and felt a little cold. He lowered his head and scratched the tea lid, and said calmly: "They are all the same mother."
Aunt Liu and everyone in the room were shocked. Chen Chunfang's heart was boiling with blood, but she just endured it. Chun Ge first glanced at Li Jian'an, who behaved indifferently, and then looked at Chen Chunfang. She simply didn't know what to say.
I came here to say hello on the first day. I originally wanted to get along well with Chen Chunfang, at least not to get into a life-and-death situation.
After all, it's not easy for anyone, let alone Chen Chunfang like this.
Unexpectedly, a combination of circumstances led to this situation.
Chun Ge only feels a headache. From now on, I'm afraid it will be a bit worn out!
Not long after Li Jianan sat down, he said that there was something else going on at the other end of the study, but the corner of his eye kept focusing on Chunge.
When Chen Chunfang saw it, her eyes were cold and her smile never faded. She asked Chun Ge, who was sitting obediently, to follow him to wait on her, and asked Aunt Liu to help her deliver it away.
After arriving at the porch, Li Jian'an asked Aunt Liu to go back and walked slowly forward. Chun Ge thought about it again and again, and finally took off a not-so-valuable rabbit-patterned hollow gold bracelet from her wrist and gave it to Aunt Liu.
Said it was a gift for Wu Niang.
Chunge is a common wife, and Aunt Liu is a concubine. According to the rules, when they meet for the first time, they are supposed to reward them.
Aunt Liu didn't think much about it. She thanked her for the reward and the gift without saying a single unnecessary word.
Chun Ge knew that Aunt Liu was Chen Chunfang's confidant and was in a different position, so she didn't want to embarrass her. She turned around and saw Li Jian'an standing not far in front with his hands tied. Knowing that he was waiting for her, her heart warmed and she smiled at Aunt Liu.
After laughing, he quickly walked a few steps to catch up with Li Jianan.
Aunt Liu stood there, her heart beating secretly as she watched Li Jianan deliberately slowing down his pace than usual, and occasionally looking back to pay attention to Chun Ge's smile behind her.
When did the Duke, who could express his emotions and anger, have such a gentle and considerate look?
It seems that it is not unreasonable for Madam to be afraid of this newcomer.
Thinking of Li Jian'an's completely different attitude, Aunt Liu suddenly felt a little sad. If she had been born in a nobler family, wouldn't it be... Then she laughed at herself. They were all delusions. In order to promote herself as her aunt, Madam had already sold her body to a contract.
After repaying the family and restoring her status as a good citizen, she can be raised as an aunt and a good concubine. However, the marriage contracts of the rest of the family are still in the hands of the wife. After so many years of stable life, she can no longer harbor delusions!
When she turned back to the door with her thoughts full of thoughts, Aunt Liu saw Chen Chunfang sitting on the kang, laughing and teasing Wu Niang, and her heart skipped a beat.
It wasn't until Chen Chunfang asked the wet nurse to carry Wu Niang to the door, and then held Wu Niang's warm little hand, that Aunt Liu felt that she was alive again. Regardless of the cold wind outside, she pulled Wu Niang, and there was a cold wind behind her.
He hurried toward his house as if something was chasing him.
