The maid's road to success

When Bihe came to visit Wen Niang again, she was finally awake.

Normally when she came, Wen Niang was sleeping after taking medicine, or she would fall asleep after just a few words. She didn't want to cause Wen Niang more trouble.

This time she chose to come in the afternoon, and Wen Niang had not taken the medicine yet.

"Are you feeling better?"

Wen Niang nodded and pulled Bihe to sit next to her.

"Did you not apply the medicine properly? Why hasn't the scar on your neck healed yet?"

Wen Niang touched Bihe's lame foot with heartache. Bihe was beautiful, with a slender and fair neck, but now there were two long wounds on it, which looked very ugly.

"I'm fine. I'm just worried about you."

When Bihe thought of the scene that day, she felt very sad. At that time, Wen Niang was still thinking about protecting her.

"Don't worry about me, I'm fine, it's just that the medicine is too bitter and I don't want to drink it."

Wen Niang knew that Bihe was thinking about the day when she fell off the cliff, and her heart felt warm. She was in Fushou Hall.

There is a reason why he has the best relationship with Bihe among so many sisters around him.

Both of them were bought from outside, and some of the servants in the mansion liked to bully the newly bought little girls who had no one to protect them.

Wen Niang is too gentle and she will neither complain nor resist if she is bullied.

Bihe always protects me like a chick.

After finally gaining the favor of the ancestor, she quickly passed her name to Sister Yulan, and was appointed as a second-class maid.

Bihe protected her a lot in the past, and now she also wants to protect Bihe well.

"By the way, I have something to discuss with you."

Bihe brought a cup of warm water to Wen Niang, then sat down and listened to her quietly.

"In fact, the old lady of the Bai family is An Yun, and Bai Yi is Chen Luoxi."

Bihe was not surprised at all.

"I got it."

Wen Niang looked at Bihe in surprise. She didn't expect that Bihe already knew it.

Bihe tucked the quilt in for Wen Niang before speaking.

"I didn't know it until I was at the bottom of the cliff and cried for help that day. I almost collapsed. Bai Yi came down without saying a word. The rope was not enough, so he slashed down with his sword without considering his own safety at all."

"After seeing your expression, I guessed it. Even if you are close to someone, you have only known each other for a few dozen days. Who can disregard their own life and only care about others?"

"We have been taking disguise pills before, which you got from An Yun. It's not surprising that they can appear with another face."

Wen Niang nodded. They met every day in the past two days, but she was always in a bad mood and they never had a good conversation.

She thought Bihe didn't know and had to explain it to her.

"So are you planning to go back to Kyoto with the Fourth Young Master?"

Bihe looked at Wen Niang. When she became suspicious of Chen Luoxi's identity, she guessed that Wen Niang might leave.

"Well, I want to give it a try. He has done so much for me, and I want to try hard for him too."

Bihe nodded. She originally felt that Wen Niang had given so much, and it would be her due even if she really married the Fourth Young Master.

But Wen Niang didn't want the old ancestor and the fourth young master to be embarrassed because of her and leave voluntarily, so she would only support them.

Now that Wen Niang is willing to follow her heart and work hard with the Fourth Young Master, she will support her.

"I want to ask you if you want to go back to Kyoto with me. I plan to release their indentures to An Ning and An Ping. With Chen Luoxi here, it won't be difficult. I can leave the shop and the money to them, and Chun Yuan's children won't have to worry about no one to take care of them."

An Ning and An Ping are originally from Yuzhou. They are reluctant to leave their homeland, so it is more suitable for them to stay here.

But the only thing she couldn't bear to part with was Bihe.

"I'll stay in Yuzhou!"

Bihe looked at Wen Niang. She had already thought about it and she didn't want to go back to Kyoto.

She had happy memories there, but she couldn't let go of the affairs of the Jiaofangsi.

Besides, many officials in Kyoto had once been her patrons at the Jiaofangsi.

She couldn't face those people calmly, nor did she want them to have any opinion of Wen Niang because she had once been a criminal slave in the Music Bureau.

In Yuzhou, she helped look after the children in Chunyuan, which allowed her to do something meaningful and not think too much.

You can also go out freely without worrying about being recognized.

"But here I..."

Yuzhou is not very close to Kyoto, so even if she wanted to take care of Bihe, she couldn't do it for the time being.

"I know what you are worried about. Yuzhou Tongpan is a good official, and his wife and daughter are also good. I am not in any danger here. On the contrary, in Kyoto, those people are still here, and I can't live a good life."

Wen Niang thought that after the Chen family's case was overturned, they served in Fu Shou Tang. The old ancestor felt sorry for them and wanted them to live a happy life, so he even bought them a shop in the farm.

But everyone was worried that there was no one capable of serving the old ancestor. Now that the Duke of Protectorate had been cleared of his grievances, so many families would come to celebrate and visit, and they had to help, which those little girls could not do.

However, when Bihe occasionally saw the wives and sons of officials, she would be distracted for a long time. Everyone guessed that some of those people had been to the Jiaofangsi.

The little maids didn't know about it at first, but later they heard that when something happened in the mansion, many young maids were sent to the Jiaofangsi.

I am not that respectful to Bihe and the others.

The ancestor and the lady also scolded the people below not to talk about it.

But who can keep an eye on others to see if they say anything unpleasant?

Bihe's experience was Wen Niang's greatest pain, but at that time she was already busy escaping with Chen Luoxi and had no time to take care of herself. When she got pregnant, she asked Simian to help rescue her, but that was several years later.

"I just hate that I am too incapable to rescue you earlier."

Wen Niang held Bihe's hand, her eyes moist.

"I know you tried your best. Simian is the best candidate you can think of. Even so, the Jiaofangsi was reluctant to let us go easily. I know how much you have paid."

Wen Niang's tears fell down her cheeks, and Bihe gently wiped them away for her.

"When Simian rescued us, we were almost unable to hold on. I know you never gave up on me, so I was able to hold on and see so many beautiful sights."

Bihe is always proud when she talks about Wen Niang.

There are too many people in the Jiaofangsi who have lost their hope of survival.

There are too many people who have no one to save them and can only wait to die in there.

When they were rescued by Simian, she saw the envy and expectation in the eyes of those people from the Jiaofangsi.

At that moment, Bihe felt that she was so lucky. Someone always cared about her, someone hoped that she was alive, and someone hoped that she could get out safely and live like a human being.

This person has no blood relationship with her, but treats her better than all her relatives.

"Mother Wen, don't worry about me. I'm living well here and won't make you worry. When I let go completely one day, I will bring the children to see you."

Wen Niang nodded, holding Bihe's hand and unable to say a word, just nodded continuously.

Bihe saw An Yunduan carrying medicine and coming to feed it to Wen Niang again. She coaxed her to finish drinking the medicine before going back to the next yard.

When Chen Luoxi came back, Wen Niang was still asleep. Looking at Wen Niang's red and swollen eyes, he went out directly to find An Yun.

An Yun simply told Chen Luoxi about what Bihe had said today.

Chen Luoxi looked at Wen Niang's sleeping face, thought for a while, and let Zhushan in.

When Wen Niang woke up the next day, she heard An Yun say that Chen Luoxi had already left Yuzhou, and he would come back when Wen Niang had almost recovered.

Wen Niang nodded. She thought she could spend the New Year with Chen Luoxi, but she didn't expect that she would be urged to leave.

"Before leaving, the young master asked Zhushan to meet with the magistrate. He told the magistrate that Miss Bihe was his adopted sister and hoped that the magistrate would take good care of Miss Bihe. The girl can rest assured."

Wen Niang didn't expect Chen Luoxi to be so thoughtful. He even solved the problem that she was worried about Bihe.

Everything had been decided, and Wen Niang felt much calmer. She asked Bihe to take out their banknotes and buy a lot of land and shops.

Wu Guang's family passed away and their property was confiscated, but the government did not take it directly, and the government did not send people to open shops or farm the land.

After all, as long as it is sold, the proceeds will be confiscated by the government.

An Ning and An Ping bought a lot of land, about 200 acres, near Chunyuan.

There should be four or five shops, and Bihe and her friends can use them to collect rent, which will bring in a lot of income a year.

There were many benefits to Zhushan's meeting with the Tongpan. Anning and Anping's household registration was settled, and even Bihe became a guest of honor in the Tongpan's mansion.

On New Year's Eve, Wen Niang was unable to move, so Bihe brought everyone in the family, young and old, to have dinner at Anyun's place.

An Ning and An Ping took the household registration documents sent by Zhuhe, tears flashing in their eyes, and lowered their heads so that no one could see them.

"From now on, we are all a family, and we should support each other."

Bihe was also happy. With the land and shops, she wouldn't have to worry about food and clothing when more children came to Chunyuan in the future.

An Ning and An Ping can also settle down, and look back and take a good look at the two people before they get married.

An Yun really likes this kind of atmosphere where a group of people gather together to eat and talk. Now there are only four brothers and sisters left in the Yuan family.

When I returned to the huge house, it was also very deserted.

An Yun still misses the days when he lived with Wen Niang, when there was someone to talk to and someone to cheer him on.

After the New Year, the wife of the Tongpan invited Bihe to her house and formally introduced Bihe and her life in the Huguogong Mansion to everyone.

From now on, as long as the Duke of Protectorate is not defeated, Bihe will be protected in Yuzhou.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Wen Niang was able to walk with the help of a cane.

Chen Luoxi finally got back.

Looking at Wen Niang standing at the door waiting for him with a smile on her face, Chen Luoxi felt very satisfied.

He rushed forward and hugged Wen Niang in his arms, ignoring the jokes of the people around him, and carried Wen Niang back to the room.

"It's cold outside, why don't you wait for me at home?"

Wen Niang was placed on the table, and Chen Luoxi stood in front of her. Zhu Hai's laughter could be heard, and Wen Niang was so embarrassed that she couldn't even raise her head.

"I want to see you sooner."

Chen Luoxi didn't expect that Wen Niang, this little idiot, would say such words. She was so happy that she was about to explode and hugged Wen Niang in her arms.

"Niang Wen, let's get married in Kyoto."
