I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

Guoguo and Zhengzheng stood at the door, looking up.

It was the first time they had seen such a wealthy family. A large plaque was hung on the tall gate tower, shining with noble light under the light of big red lanterns.

"Young Master, please follow me in. The bedroom has been prepared for you. See if you like it."

Nanny Li looked at the two children with a smile.

The eyebrows and expression seem to be carved from the same mold as the master.

The two children followed Mammy.

The two hadn't seen each other for several months, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Ji Xiaobei had an indifferent expression, and Fu Jichang was a little unsure of what she meant.

When we parted from Ye County, he was still full of affection, how come his attitude suddenly changed?

Could it be that they were unhappy that I brought them to Fu Mansion?

Don’t you want them to take a break?

Besides, Fu Mansion will be her home from now on.

What's wrong with returning to your own home?

"Are you hungry?" Fu Jichang asked for the sake of conversation.

"I'm not hungry. I had a bowl of fried rice noodles on the way. I'm not hungry anymore!" Ji Xiaobei didn't know what was wrong with him. He persuaded himself for a long time along the way not to care about those things.

On the way, Guoguo kept asking for fried rice noodles, so she took Guoguo to a rice noodle shop in the north city to eat a bowl of it.

In the noodle shop, she heard that Lord Fu had made great contributions and the emperor rewarded him with ten thousand taels of gold and two women.

Ji Xiaobei leaned over and asked, which Lord Fu is it?

The woman rolled her eyes at her and said, "Who is Lord Fu? Among the emperor's important ministers, there is only one with the surname Fu."

Ji Xiaobei was a little slow to react and asked again, what are you going to do with a woman?

The woman laughed and said, "What? What do you think men need women for?"

……

After eating the rice noodles, Ji Xiaobei’s heart was never at peace.

The emperor rewarded him with a woman, and he took her?

In the future, he will have many wives and concubines and give birth to a lot of children. What will happen to Guoguo and Zhengzheng?

I still have a crush on him.

Her mind was in a mess, and she didn't know when she started to be bound by these romantic feelings.

Along the way, she became more and more annoyed with the man next to her.

I simply turned my head away and didn't look at him.

Men's words are deceiving. No wonder Zheng Guo didn't trust men for so many years.

"Are you missing home?" Fu Jichang's words brought Ji Xiaobei back to his senses.

Fu Jichang saw that she was frowning and there was some anger in her eyes, so he continued:

"Go back early tomorrow morning. The old lady knows you're coming back and has made preparations in advance... I originally wanted to ask the old lady to come and wait for you..."

"Okay, let's go eat first!" Ji Xiaobei interrupted him and walked inside.

Fu Mansion is very large, with pavilions, towers, bridges and flowing water. There is also a small rockery in the distance. Ji Xiaobei was not interested at all and walked in with his head down.

Ji Xiaobei was taken to a bedroom by a maid.

There was a red candle lit in the room, the bed was covered with a brocade quilt, and the dressing table was filled with jewelry.

I opened the box beside the bed and saw piles of clothes.

The maid has brought the water for washing face.

"Miss, I'm Bitui, your maid. You can give me your orders." The little girl said respectfully.

"Whose is this?" Ji Xiaobei asked with a frown.

"They are all yours, Master Fu. If you don't like them, just let me change them for another box!" Bitui looked at Ji Xiaobei's face nervously.

"How many boxes and cages did he prepare?" Ji Xiaobei asked.

"Ten pieces, all of different styles and patterns. The materials were all bought from the Zhengguo Shop in Anzhou. They are all the best materials..."

Listening to the maid's words, Ji Xiaobei sneered. She had never worn such colorful clothes before.

Her heart suddenly sank. Could it be that he had the same standard as those two women?

Ji Xiaobei looked at the boxes of clothes and felt it was very irritating, as if something had stabbed his heart.

"Are all the women in your Fu Mansion treated this way?"

Ji Xiaobei blurted out.

"Ah..." Beatrice was stunned for a moment. She didn't understand what Miss Ji meant, but was too embarrassed to ask.

"It's okay, go ahead!"

"I'll go get some water for Miss Ji!" After getting permission, the little girl hurried away.

Ji Xiaobei simply washed up, found a piece of clothes from his box, changed into them, and left the room.

The servants had already prepared a large table full of food.

Guoguo and Zhengzheng have arrived, and Fu Jichang is giving them cakes.

"We can eat when your mother comes!" Fu Jichang comforted the two little greedy cats.

"Mom, Mom is here..."

Zheng Zheng pointed his sharp eyes at the door and shouted excitedly.

Ji Xiaobei walked in and the two children pulled her to sit down.

"Mom, look, they are all delicious. We can't even eat them in Ye County..."

"Mom, there are the brown sugar cakes that I like, and the date cakes that you like..."

The two children danced with joy.

"Okay, eat quickly!"

Ji Xiaobei looked at the two children with a smile.

During the whole meal, she didn't even glance at Fu Jichang.

"Mom, I'm full. I want to go out and play..." Guoguo pulled Zhengzheng and was about to go out.

Nanny Li hurriedly followed.

Ji Xiaobei stood up and said, "Master Fu, I'm full, please enjoy your meal..."

"Ah, you haven't eaten yet?" Fu Jichang asked in surprise.

When Ji Xiaobei saw delicious food, he was not excited and did not eat a lot. Something must have happened.

"Xiaobei, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Fu Jichang asked anxiously, reaching out to touch her forehead.

"No, I'm fine. I'm tired. I'm going back!" Ji Xiaobei stood up and was about to leave.

"Hey, Xiaobei, you must be tired. I'll have someone bring food to your room!"

Fu Jichang was puzzled and didn't understand what was going on with Ji Xiaobei, so he reached out to pull her sleeve.

Ji Xiaobei turned away and looked at Fu Jichang, wanting to question him, but seeing that the maids were all there, she had to hold back.

But I felt so depressed inside.

"Xiaobei, if you don't want to eat, can you eat a little with me?" Fu Jichang's tone softened, as if he was begging.

"Let someone else eat with you!"

Ji Xiaobei said something and walked away.

The servants waiting on the side were so frightened that they didn't even dare to raise their heads. How could someone dare to speak to the master like that?

On weekdays, they are most afraid of the male owner, whose stiff face never has a smile.

Also, did they hear Master Fu’s soft tone just now wrong?

……

They looked at Lord Fu's back as he followed, somewhat dazed.
