She was too lazy to say goodbye to anyone, so she took her bag and left.

But when Ruo'er walked out of the yard, she happened to meet Lin'er who was coming back from fetching water.

Seeing Lin'er sweating profusely, she walked forward with a smile.

"Lin'er, just came back from fetching water?"

"Yeah." Lin'er's eyes fell on Ruo'er's bag, and she couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Where are you going?"

Ruo'er curled her lips and smiled, saying, "I made the eldest lady unhappy, so she punished me to be a maid in the mansion."

Lin'er is not good at speaking, but she is kind-hearted, but that doesn't mean she is a fool.

And even a fool could see the happiness on Ruoer's face.

She was punished, but she was smiling so happily. Doesn't it clearly mean that she would rather be a cleaning maid than escape from their yard?

Lin'er was a little angry.

The Third Miss treated her so well, how could she do this?

"you……"

Lin'er had just finished speaking when Ru'er was too lazy to talk to her anymore. She carried her bag and left briskly.

When Lin'er filled the bucket with water, she was told that the third young lady wanted her to wash and dress up.

Lin'er was suddenly a little flustered.

Although she was a personal maid, she had never served the Third Young Miss closely for all these years, because most of the work in the house had been taken away by Ruo'er, and she could only do some rough work outside.

When she heard the news, Lin'er's hands were shaking a little.

"Don't just stand there, go ahead. You're the best at combing hair besides Ruo'er."

"Anyway, you will be married off with the Third Miss in the future, so just treat it as a training exercise. From now on, all the work in the house will be left to you."

Said Taozi, the maid who was one year older than her.

"Yes, thank you Sister Tao." Lin'er agreed nervously.

Taozi smiled and didn't say much. She just looked at Lin'er with pity and went to do her work in the yard.

Lin'er plucked up her courage and stepped into Liao Hui's room.

It was just a simple bun, but she was clumsy and it took her a while to do it properly.

But even so, Liao Hui was not angry, which calmed Lin'er's uneasy heart a little.

"I will prepare lunch for you."

"Wait." Liao Hui called her.

"Lin'er, let me ask you one last question. Are you really willing to follow me into the Wen Mansion?"

Lin'er was not good at speaking and could not say much. She could only say, "I am willing. Wherever the Third Miss goes, I will go."

Liao Hui was somewhat moved.

Lin'er and Ruo'er grew up with her, but over the years, she has always neglected the person who is truly loyal to her.

"Okay, I understand. Don't worry, I'll keep you fed from now on, and I won't let you go hungry."

Lin'er's eyes sparkled, knowing that the Third Miss was willing to take her with her, and she nodded vigorously immediately: "Yes, thank you Third Miss."

"Go and do your work."

"Ah."

After Lin'er left, Liao Hui was horrified when she thought about it carefully.

She couldn't believe what would happen if she didn't hear Qianqian's thoughts.

Maybe she would tell Ruoer about Brother Ting's secret.

When Liao Hui thought of this possibility, she felt a chill down her spine.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and Qu came to the house as expected to talk about moving up the wedding date.

Lord Qu was still angry, but he agreed immediately when he heard this.

He just pretends he doesn't have this daughter.

"But... my Qu family has a lot of expenses, so I'm afraid the dowry list won't be very generous." Lord Qu showed an embarrassed look: "Madam Wen, please don't be surprised. Look, even the teacup I drink from has a crack, and I didn't even want to replace it."

When Liao Hui heard this, she felt ashamed for her father.

But Qu smiled and said, "It's okay. We value Hui Niang, not her dowry. However, someone wants to add a dowry for Liao Niang. I wonder if Lord Qu can agree?"

"Who?"

"I'm afraid it's not convenient for me to tell you this." Qu said as she looked at Wen Qianqian who was drinking milk in her arms.

Lord Qu raised his eyebrows: "Of course I don't mind, but I've never heard of outsiders other than the main family giving dowries to married girls."

"You don't have to tell anyone."

"Okay, then it's settled. In half a month, we will officially become relatives."

"Okay, I'll take my leave then."

"Hui Niang, send Madam Wen off!"

"Yes. Auntie, this way please."

Hui Niang led Qu out of the house.

The two said goodbye to each other in front of the mansion gate.

"Hui Niang, in half a month, you will be part of my family. In the meantime, just stay in your boudoir and wait for your marriage."

Liao Hui blushed.

"Yes……"

When Qu returned home, she saw Yinxing walking towards her in a hurry.

"Ma'am, it's not good."

Qu frowned: "What happened?"

"I just got the news that the master and the old lady are already outside the city gate. They will be home in less than an incense stick of time."

Qu's face suddenly turned ugly.

Wen Qianqian pouted.

[Tsk, my scumbag dad is coming back. I am so annoyed. Can I just use my spiritual power to make him disappear? ]

Qu quickly covered Wen Qianqian's mouth.

"Don't do anything rash. He is an official appointed by the imperial court after all. If he finds out about you, I may not be able to protect you."

Wen Qianqian suddenly felt regretful.

[I understand, mother.]

Just at this moment, Wen Chengzhi also ran in.

"Mom, it's bad, Dad and Grandma are coming back!"

He had heard Qianqian's inner voice, which was that her father not only had a mistress, but also tried to switch the mistress's daughter with Qianqian.

Not only that, my father will also join forces with the third prince to cause my grandfather's entire family to be exiled.

Although he couldn't believe it, he knew that what his fourth sister said was true.

And just from the incident of the fake second brother, it can be seen that dad is really not a good person.

Qu patted Wen Chengzhi's back comfortingly.

"Don't be afraid, he will come back eventually. Just pretend you know nothing. Especially the fact that your eldest brother has recovered, you must not tell any of them."

"I know, mother. I'm just afraid that my second brother and grandmother will blame you for what happened."

A trace of depression appeared between Qu's brows.

She was worried about this too.

It’s not that she was afraid that Wen Zehai would dare to do anything to her, but she was afraid that Wen Zehai would find out that she already knew all the truth.

She hasn't divorced yet, so she can't break up with Wen Zehai.

Just then, she heard Wen Qianqian's voice.

[Mother, don't be afraid. If your scumbag father and wicked grandmother ask about it, you can ask them to go to the mass grave in the western suburbs to find the body of the faker.]

[After they see the body, they will not blame mother anymore.]

Qu was puzzled.

"Why don't they blame Mother when they see the body of Wen Cheng... the fake one?"

Wen Qianqian kept the secret.

【Mother, just do as Qianqian says. 】

"Ok."

As soon as Qu finished speaking, she heard a noise coming from outside the door.

"The master and the old lady are back."

Qu couldn't help but hug Wen Qianqian tightly.

What was supposed to come, finally came.

Not long after, Yin Yue, who had gone to the countryside with Qu, came back.

"Yin Yue meets Madam."
