The maid's road to success

When Bihe came, Wen Niang had endless things to talk about with her and they didn't even want to be separated at night. Every time, Chen Luoxi would come and take her away.

He looked at the evil-minded Bihe who was trying to snatch Wen Niang from him with hatred, but he could do nothing.

Among these sisters, Wen Niang has the best relationship with Bihe. If she really argues with Bihe, Wen Niang will be the one who gets hurt.

"Be gentle, you're hurting me."

Wen Niang was extremely tired. This man had been like a hungry wolf these past two days. He would not stop even after making her feel exhausted all over.

Pushing away the man lying on top of her, Wen Niang wrapped herself in a gauze dress and went to the bathroom to wash.

Chen Luoxi followed behind and held Wen Niang's arm with one hand, fearing that she would fall to the ground due to her weak legs.

Wen Niang glared at her angrily, then sat in the bathtub and let the man serve her.

"Behave yourself. I have to accompany my grandmother to meet guests tomorrow."

Feeling that Chen Luoxi's hands were becoming more and more unruly, Wen Niang slapped his hand away.

Chen Luoxi noticed that Wen Niang was angry, so he didn't dare to do anything else. He cleaned her properly, then wrapped her in a cotton towel and carried her to the bed.

"When will Bihe leave?"

Wen Niang glanced at Chen Luoxi unhappily.

"Are you chasing people away?"

Chen Luoxi took the cotton handkerchief and wiped Wen Niang's hair.

"How dare I? It's just that she has been snatching you from me, and I feel wronged."

When Wen Niang heard this, she couldn't help laughing out loud, and said while holding Chen Luoxi's face.

"I wanted to keep her here for a while longer, but she couldn't leave the kids over there, so she's leaving in the next two days."

Chen Luoxi nodded without saying anything else.

"I have told Hua Yesheng to give 3,000 taels to Yuzhou every year as a subsidy for those children."

Wen Niang did not stop it. She would not stop someone from doing good deeds. But she did not want Chen Luoxi to pay and leave a bad reputation for herself.

"If you donate money, please use your name or the name of the Duke's Mansion, not my name."

Chen Luoxi knew what she was thinking and nodded to show that he understood.

"Of course, don't worry, I know your temper."

After drying her hair, Wen Niang went to rest. She was really tired after talking and shopping with Bihe during the day and being pestered by Chen Luoxi for a long time at night.

Chen Luoxi looked at Wen Niang's peaceful sleeping face and felt very satisfied. He held her in his arms and lay down.

Wen Niang looks kind and quiet, but she is actually very opinionated and strong-willed.

If he hadn't asked the Queen Mother to add to the dowry, and the other women in the harem had also added a lot, I'm afraid Wen Niang would not have accepted anything at all.

However, Wen Niang has her own ideas and manages her business well. I think in a few years, she will have a lot of property.

There was no need for him to rush to support Wen Niang and make her unhappy.

Bihe left in the morning, and Wen Niang, Yulan, Yumei and others saw her off to the pier.

"Take care of yourself in Yuzhou."

The girls looked at each other, their eyes filled with endless reluctance, but they couldn't put it into words.

In the past at Fu Shou Tang, we were together every day and were so happy, but now we have to go our separate ways.

Yulan and Yumei don't come to the Duke's Mansion very often. Now that they have taken care of most of the maids in the mansion, it's time for them to spend more time on their own families.

Wen Niang held Bihe's hand, tears welling up in her eyes, and tried not to let them fall.

"Don't worry about me. When the children grow up, I promise them to come to Kyoto to see you."

"You are the Duke's wife now, don't show weakness outside."

"You have always been too self-disciplined and polite. Now that you have Chen Luoxi to accompany you, relax a little and don't push yourself too hard."

Bihe explained one sentence after another, and Wen Niang just nodded.

It was Magnolia who came over to comfort the two people.

"Don't be like this. I heard from my husband that the Duke intends to send my husband to Yuzhou for exile. Then Bihe and I will take care of each other."

Wen Niang raised her head and looked at Yulan in surprise.

"Why do you want to release it suddenly?"

These days, Chen Luoxi has been making trouble for her since he came back, and she didn't have a chance to talk about the many things that had happened. She didn't even know that Yulan's husband was going to be sent away.

"My husband was also an ambitious man in the past, but he had no connections, so he couldn't climb up and had to stay in a bitter and cold place. Now that he has the Duke's protection, he also wants to try again."

"The Duke said that the governor of Yuzhou is a good official who is dedicated to the people. Yuzhou is safe and prosperous and can achieve great things. It is suitable for us."

Wen Niang nodded, the current governor of Yuzhou was indeed a good official.

"Are you willing?"

Yulan laughed heartily.

"I have always been with the old ancestor and have never been apart for so many years. Naturally, I am reluctant to leave him. But I have you and Yumei in Kyoto, so I feel relieved."

"My husband planned a lot for me in the past for our ancestors. Now that everything is settled, I want to think more about him."

Wen Niang felt relieved then. That was good. Yulan had her own plans, and her life would definitely get better and better.

Only when she watched the cruise ship sail away from the pier did Wen Niang shed tears. Looking at Bihe's lonely figure, she felt very sad.

"Don't worry, the old ancestor said that Bihe is afraid that someone is pursuing her in Yuzhou, and maybe she will have her own marriage in this life."

Wen Niang wiped her tears and nodded heavily. No one can always accompany anyone else. Everyone has to walk their own way.

I just hope that after going through so much, Bihe can open up her heart and give the future a chance.

When Chen Luoxi arrived, he saw Wen Niang's lonely back.

He walked quickly to her, took her hand, and looked at her silently.

"How did you come?"

Chen Luoxi touched her cheek with heartache.

"I was afraid you would feel bad, so I came down from the yamen early to pick you up."

Seeing how thoughtful he was, Wen Niang's reluctance faded a lot.

Let Chen Luoxi hold her hand and walk slowly back.

Chen Luoxi did not choose to take the carriage back, but instead held Wen Niang's hand and walked slowly in the streets.

Wen Niang felt satisfied when she looked at the lively people around her.

This life has been full of ups and downs, but fortunately they did not miss each other and they will have plenty of time to accompany each other in the future.

Chen Luoxi looked at Wen Niang's face and couldn't help but hold her hand tightly.

In this life, he just wants to walk slowly and peacefully with the loved ones around him.
