The maid's road to success

After the fifteenth day, Wen Niang was no longer reluctant to leave, so she packed up her things and set off on the journey back to Kyoto with Chen Luoxi.

The current emperor is a good emperor who works diligently and loves his people. He not only reduces the taxes on the people, but also cracks down on corrupt officials.

Most of the people along the way lived and worked in peace and contentment, and there were rarely situations like in the past when people were fleeing and were so poor that they had to sell their children.

Wen Niang sat in the carriage. Although the carriage was finely crafted, she still felt a little uncomfortable after a day's work.

Wen Niang held Chen Luoxi's hand and walked down from the carriage.

Looking at the quiet town in front of me.

Chen Luoxi has returned to his former appearance and is still a handsome and elegant young man.

Wen Niang used to dislike this kind of look. The Second Young Master had left too deep an impression on everyone, not to mention when Chen Luoxi was still the Fourth Young Master of Huaiyuan Marquis.

But he was a dandy who treated the maids around him as the mistress of the house, and he even took good care of the maids in Fu Shou Tang.

It’s no wonder that the ladies in Kyoto all say that the fourth young master of the Marquis’ Mansion is a passionate man; his appearance gives people this impression.

In Kyoto, Chen Luoxi's looks were among the best, let alone in this small town. Some women were stunned when they saw Chen Luoxi.

Some brave ones even came up to ask Chen Luoxi's name.

"Haha, you should solve the trouble yourself."

Wen Niang took An Yun into the inn, leaving Chen Luoxi alone surrounded by several women.

An Yun looked at Chen Luoxi's helpless appearance and turned cold. Then Zhushan and several others stepped forward to block those women, and Chen Luoxi was able to escape and hide in the inn.

"You just watched them gather around you?"

An Yun held his face in his hand, watching Chen Luoxi sitting aside drinking tea with a gloomy face, and looked at Wen Niang jokingly.

"Otherwise, there will be many days like this in the future."

Wen Niang naturally knew that although the Chen family now wanted to find a relative of noble birth to help the Chen family quickly integrate into the Kyoto aristocratic family circle.

But even without this relationship, just with the Queen, the Chen family is one of the best in Kyoto.

In the eyes of many families, they are popular, especially those who have participated in party disputes before, who are in urgent need of getting close to the family that is now trusted by the emperor.

So that your family can avoid being investigated.

Chen Luoxi is the most popular one among them. He is in his early twenties, has no wife or children, and is a first-rank duke.

My family is simple, and there won't be those annoying relatives or sisters-in-law to make me angry after I get married.

Chen Luoxi put down the cup he had raised and looked at Wen Niang with a focused look.

"You do not trust me?"

Wen Niang smiled gently.

"I believe it, but there are some things you can't decide, right?"

Chen Luoxi wanted to say something, but he felt that nothing had happened. Making too many promises always seemed perfunctory.

"Don't worry, since I said I would work hard with you, I won't give up easily."

But if she really has to give up, she will leave on her own.

Of course, Chen Luoxi couldn't hear these words, otherwise he wouldn't know how to panic.

Chen Luoxi knew that what Wen Niang pursued was simple, a simple life without too many troubles.

It is indeed easy in ordinary people's homes, but it is extremely difficult in noble families.

Chen Luoxi thought it was a good idea to be together for life, but sometimes too many people coveted the benefits of the Duke of Protectorate Mansion and wanted to get close to it, which was very troublesome.

Neither of them spoke anymore, they just ate quietly. When Wen Niang finished washing up and was ready to rest, Chen Luoxi knocked on the door.

"It's too late. Can't we talk about it tomorrow?"

Wen Niang did not intend to let Chen Luoxi in. She had just finished bathing and was now wearing two layers of underwear, which was not suitable for meeting people.

"I have something to talk to you about. It's not convenient to have someone around during the day."

When Wen Niang heard what Chen Luoxi said, she thought about it and found an outer coat to put on, then went to open the door for Chen Luoxi.

"what happened?"

Chen Luoxi walked into the room and saw Wen Niang's appearance. The steam from the bath and the smell of perfume had not yet dissipated in the room. He knew why Wen Niang didn't want him to come in.

My ears couldn't help but turn red.

"I'm here to bring you something."

Wen Niang poured him a cup of warm tea and motioned for him to sit down. Chen Luoxi also sat next to Wen Niang, which made Wen Niang a little shy.

"What are you delivering that you have to sit so close to me?"

Chen Luoxi didn't dare to provoke her at this time, for fear of making her angry and then regretting it.

He hurriedly took out a few deeds from his arms.

"You asked Simian to open the shop with the intention of saving Bihe and the others and leaving us a way out, but Simian has been doing very well in the past few years, and this shop is no longer the teahouse that received distinguished guests."

"Si Mian has already changed the shop into a cloth shop and rouge shop."

Wen Niang looked at the deeds with some confusion.

"At the beginning, I just gave Simian some money so that she could open a shop and help me rescue Bihe. Why are you giving me so many deeds now? I can't take them."

Chen Luoxi smiled and pushed the deed back to her.

"Do you still remember why Simian agreed to help you open a store?"

Wen Niang nodded.

"Her sweetheart is Li Sanjiao. She wants to go to Kyoto to see Li Sanjiao."

Chen Luoxi explained to her.

"Si Mian and Li Sanjiao have met, and both of them still miss each other. Li Sanjiao is a master in business, and he helped Si Mian expand the business of the shop and increase the assets."

"Li Sanjiao was also someone who was planning something with the Sixth Prince in the past. When the Sixth Prince got into trouble, he was also implicated. I took advantage of it and allowed him to marry Simian."

Wen Niang exclaimed, Simian and Li Sanjiao got married? This is a good thing, Simian must be very happy.

"They didn't want to stay in Kyoto, so they went to a small town in the south, wanting to be an ordinary wealthy couple. They only took 500 taels, and the rest became your property."

Wen Niang looked at the stack of deeds in her hand and felt that they were a little hot.

"But this is all Simian's hard work. I just provided her with the money to open the shop in the beginning."

Chen Luoxi said while rubbing her hair.

"You gave them what they wanted most. They had lived a hard life, their loved ones were separated, and Simian was heartbroken. It was you who gave her news and hope. It was also because of you that I was willing to save Li Sanjiao, so that they could fly away and spend the rest of their lives together. Wen Niang, these are not what they value. They just want to stay with each other in a place where no one knows them."

Wen Niang looked into Chen Luoxi's eyes and suddenly understood.

Yes, Simian has loved Li Sanjiao for so many years, and Li Sanjiao has never betrayed Simian and has remained faithful to her.

Everything these two people did was to see each other. Li Sanjiao kept his promise and drove down Yinghuan Tower because he was afraid that Simian would not be found in the future.

Simian thought she had lost her innocence and became a lowly woman, and she only wanted to see Li Sanjiao accompany him.

Now we have the opportunity to spend the rest of our lives together, which is priceless.

"Don't worry, I sent someone to check on them. They are doing well now. They have opened a small shop and are very loving and happy."

Wen Niang nodded, not knowing what to say.

"I left these things for my own selfish reasons. I knew you would not accept the land I prepared for you, so I agreed to Simian's request."

Wen Niang shook her head. She knew that Chen Luoxi was doing this for her own good.

"I know you are doing this for my own good. You are worried that I will not have a dowry when I return home and others will laugh at me."

Wen Niang would indeed not accept the land given by Chen Luoxi. Although it would allow her to have a decent dowry and marry into the Duke of Huguo's Mansion, it was not hers after all, and she would not feel at ease accepting it.

"I've seen it. Simian cares about you very much. The six shops here are all good, with an annual profit of two to three thousand taels. And these three farms are also carefully selected good farms with great prospects. Simian also cares about you very much."

Wen Niang smiled happily when she thought of Simian. Simian was a good girl and she was lucky to have such a fate with her.

"I will keep the East and West Courtyards in Xiaohe Lane in Kyoto for you, but don't worry, I have found a more suitable place for Madam Su and Nannan to live. Xiaohe Lane is not suitable for them, and they can't keep it."

Wen Niang was a little confused as to why Chen Luoxi said that.

"After you left, those people saw that the mother and daughter lived in such a large courtyard, and some of them had bad intentions. Some wanted to force Madam Su to get married, and some were eager to get engaged to Nannan. I asked people to look after them, but there were always times when they could not be prevented. They always had to go out and meet people, so I settled them in the manor."

"When my daughter grows up, I will find a suitable soldier. It would be appropriate for you to act as a matchmaker for them."

Wen Niang finally breathed a sigh of relief. She only thought that Su Niangzi and Nannan had helped her take care of the yard for so many years. She had left a letter saying that the yard was for them, but not only did they not want it, they also kept it as their own and Bihe's room and kept it very clean.

I was waiting for them to come back and live here one day, so I gave the yard to them after they left one day.

But no one expected that Madam Su and her daughter could use the title of the owner of the house to ward off many people with ulterior motives.

Now that the house is bigger, how can they protect it without any power or influence?

"Thank you."

Chen Luoxi was able to do so much because of herself, and she should be grateful.

"Why should we say thank you?"

Chen Luoxi couldn't help it, so he held Wen Niang's hand and kneaded it gently.

Wen Niang's ears turned red and she tried to pull her hand back, but Chen Luoxi held her even tighter.

In the end, he pulled Wen Niang into his arms and held her on his lap.

Wen Niang bit her lip and pushed his body to leave.

Chen Luoxi grabbed her waist and held her tightly in his arms.

"Don't move, or I won't be able to wait until the wedding night."

Listening to his hoarse voice and the hot breath on her neck, Wen Niang clearly felt some changes in the position of her buttocks, and she quickly stiffened and dared not move.

Seeing how well behaved she was, Chen Luoxi buried his head in her shoulder and smiled softly.

"You little rascal, after we get married, I'll show you how I'll deal with you for making you run so far away."

After saying that, he bit her shoulder gently.

Because of the pulling just now, Wen Niang's undershirt was a little loose, and her shoulders were exposed. Chen Luoxi's hot lips and teeth wandered on her shoulders, making her whole body numb and soft.

Fortunately, the sound of the night watchman was heard, and Wen Niang regained some consciousness. She pushed Chen Luoxi away and jumped off his legs, not even caring about the fact that her lower back hit the table.

He trotted and hid behind the screen.

"It's too late, you should leave quickly."

Chen Luoxi didn't expect that her endurance was so poor. She had originally planned to kiss her and collect some of her husband's rights in advance, but she didn't expect to smell Wen Niang's scent.

He couldn't control himself and almost did something. The sound of the night watchmen on the street had not stopped yet. Chen Luoxi gritted his teeth, thinking that this person had arrived at the right time.

After finally calming down, Chen Luoxi was able to stand up. He was fine now. At least Wen Niang was no longer scared or crying because of his intimacy.

Take your time and don't rush.

"Don't be afraid. If you don't agree, I won't do anything rash. Go to bed early. I'm leaving now."

When Wen Niang heard the sound of the door opening and closing, she quickly ran over and put the bolt back in place.

Touching his heart which was beating violently, he returned to bed and pulled his clothes up to cover the few red berries.

Fortunately, the sound of the night watchman came in time, otherwise he might have been blinded by Chen Luoxi's beauty.
