Slowly Deep Love

A graceful woman stood at the door, her face full of confidence and her eyes full of arrogance.

She glanced at Yue Weiwei who was running towards her, raised the left corner of her mouth, and looked her up and down carefully.

Yue Weiwei was a little frightened by being stared at. She stopped, walked slowly to the door, and asked, "What can I do for you, Miss Lin?"

"Oh! Sister Ming, seeing you look so energetic, it makes people feel relieved!" Lin Yuan spoke in a coquettish tone.

"Thank you for your trouble!" Yue Weiwei was polite to her.

Lin Yuan looked at the gate, looked at the guards, and said, "Sister and Sister Ming are talking at this gate!"

The guard looked embarrassed.

Yue Weiwei didn't want to invite Lin Yuan in, so she said, "Father has ordered that no one else is allowed to come in, so let's talk at the door!"

Lin Yuan was obviously angry. She paced a few times and said, "My husband and I came to visit Sister Ming yesterday. I didn't expect that we disturbed Sister Ming's rest. I came here to apologize!"

"Nothing! I didn't even know you were coming! It's not a question of disturbing me or not." Yue Weiwei told the truth, but it made Lin Yuan unhappy.

"Sister, you are so comfortable living in Qingxiang Pavilion!" She half covered her mouth and nose while speaking, smiled softly, and then said, "I am so happy here that I don't want to leave!"

Qian Yue immediately jumped up and told Lin Yuan to go back quickly if he was fine!

Although Yue Weiwei didn't know the reason, she knew that the story must be complicated and she guessed that Minglu had been wronged.

Yue Weiwei looked at Qian Yue's angry expression, then looked at Lin Yuan's proud expression, walked up to Qian Yue, patted her on the back and said, "Don't be sad!"

Lin Yuan looked at the master and servant and laughed, "Sister Ming, the master and servant are of one mind. How enviable!"

Yue Weiwei looked at the maidservant beside Lin Yuan who was laughing and said, "You and your servants are of the same mind!"

"Sister Ming has been in a coma for three days. You should see her in a new light! She sleeps with her legs spread out, but she runs vigorously."

Yue Weiwei clenched his fist and really wanted to hit him in the face.

How does Minglu survive fighting the mistress every day?

"Seeing how arrogant you are, I guess you have a lot of privileges, but you still dare not break the order of the Grand Marshal!" Yue Weiwei looked at Lin Yuan's feet and said disdainfully.

Lin Yuan snorted and said coldly: "It's you who is under house arrest!"

"Do you dare to come in?" Yue Weiwei challenged.

"You!" Lin Yuan was at a loss for words and stood at the door, unable to move forward or backward.

Suddenly she raised her eyebrows and laughed: "Father and mother live in Chengyun Courtyard, husband lives in Yuelong Courtyard, and you live here, how ridiculous!"

After saying this, he waved to the maid and left.

Yue Weiwei looked at Lin Yuan's back and thought she was funny.

She was favored by her "son-in-law", but was obviously not satisfied. She even showed off in front of the legal wife and provoked trouble.

Qian Yue wanted to comfort Yue Weiwei, but she interrupted her: "What's your name?"

Qian Yue was stunned for a moment and said, "Li Hengan!"

"Is there any story behind Minglu's living in Qingxiang Pavilion?"

"Miss, don't mention it. You were so sad when you moved out of Yuelongyuan!" Qian Yue replied in a low voice.

“Why do you want to move out?”

"The young lady originally lived in Yuelongyuan after her wedding. The third young lady has always been in poor health. It's really unfair of God that she fell ill again on the third day! She took good care of her with the best medicine for a month but she didn't get better." Qian Yue supported Yue Weiwei and walked towards the pavilion.

"The son-in-law found the right reason to make trouble. The wedding conflicts with the third young lady's illness. The problem can only be solved if the young lady moves out of Yuelongyuan for two years. He spoke very clearly and in the end the young lady was forced to..." Qian Yue couldn't go on.

If you want to add a crime, why worry!

Yue Weiwei felt uneasy, thinking that such unexpected disasters would befall her in the future!

Just as she was lamenting, she suddenly became overjoyed and couldn't stop living with Li Hengan. Wasn't this God protecting her?

Seeing that Qian Yue was still unhappy, Yue Weiwei wanted to change the subject.

"How much do you know about this Miss Lin?"

"Before the young lady's wedding, she was already the concubine of her brother-in-law. With that background, she could never enter the Grand Marshal's Mansion." Qian Yue showed disdain.

"What's your origin?"

"Father is just a restaurant owner. That brother is not worth mentioning. He bullies people by taking advantage of his power. I heard that he is involved in a murder case!" Qian Yue leaned close to Yue Weiwei's ear and spoke in a low voice.

"Murder?" Yue Weiwei was also shocked.

"Yeah!" Qian Yue nodded and sighed, "It was my uncle who took care of it."

Yue Weiwei felt a chill in her heart. The Taiwei Mansion was in a high position with great power and influence, yet they were doing these things in secret.

She remembered what was said in "Dream of the Red Chamber": if a family is going to fail, it will rot from within first.

There were people talking at the door. Yue Weiwei looked over and saw Nanny Li walking in front and Changle coming in with a food box.

Yue Weiwei stood up and greeted him and asked, "What delicious food did you make today?"

Changle said quickly: "Today's dishes are excellent, they are all the freshest ones that have just been bought."

Yue Weiwei walked into the house holding Nanny Li's arm. Nanny Li felt a little embarrassed, but she was reluctant to refuse.

Qian Yue asked Chang Le: "Did Chun Xue pick the best dishes for the young lady?"

Changle smiled and replied, "Of course! Chunxue is very perceptive and knows who the future mistress of the Taiwei Mansion is."

Yue Weiwei asked while eating: "Who is Chunxue?"

Qian Yue said: "Chun Xue is very kind to Miss. Every time she buys vegetables, she gives Miss the freshest ones."

Changle suddenly laughed: "Chunxue doesn't like that girl. I saw her sharing the food from the previous day with Zhu Yuge several times."

Matron Li shouted in a low voice: "You are just talking nonsense. You are saying such rude things. Be careful not to harm the child!"

Changle bowed his head and admitted his mistake, saying: "Every time I say this, isn't it just us?"

Qian Yue touched her and whispered, "Walls have ears!"

Nanny Li spoke meaningfully, "Chunxue is a poor child. Both her parents are dead. But she is very capable. She was originally a kitchen clerk, but soon she became a clerk in purchasing."

Yue Weiwei was puzzled. This Chunxue was very different. Lin Yuan was in favor, so she should try to curry favor with him. Why would she be nice to Minglu, who was only in name only?

Is it due to the status hierarchy in feudal society?

After finishing this meal, Yue Weiwei was thinking about the next meal. She said to Li Ma, "Make me some vegetable and egg noodle soup tonight!"

Matron Li was surprised: "Why does Miss eat so simply?"

Yue smiled and said, "Nothing, I just want to eat."

This kind of noodles was often made by her grandfather. It was quick, nutritious and light. Every time she sat at the dining table and waited for a while, she could eat the delicious noodles.

After hearing about Minglu’s experience today, I missed my family even more. I ate a bowl of noodles to comfort her frightened heart.

In the afternoon, Yue Weiwei sat in front of the desk, writing and drawing. In front of her were two windows. When they were opened, a cool breeze blew in. She could see the entire front yard from where she sat.

Changle stood not far from the door, watching over Yue Weiwei. She also looked at the young lady from the window.

Next to Yue Weiwei was a long brocade box, which contained the gift she had carefully prepared for her senior.

From time to time, she reached out and touched the brocade box, her heart filled with satisfaction and a touch of comfort.

Changle noticed the box and took a careful look at it.

The area around Qingxiang Pavilion seemed to be much more lively, with noisy voices. Yue Weiwei stood up and looked in the direction of the noise with great eagerness.

Changle walked to the window and asked, "Miss, are you feeling pent up?"

Then he pointed to three or four pieces of drawing paper on the desk and said in surprise, "Qian Yue told me before that she had seen a bracelet drawn by the young lady, which was very beautiful. Are these the same?"

Yue Weiwei looked at Changle and nodded, thinking: Now, apart from eating, drinking and sleeping, I am fortunate to have this hobby to pass the time.

Changle stared at the brocade box for a long time. Yue Weiwei felt a little embarrassed. She pulled a few pieces of white paper from her side and pretended to cover the brocade box casually.

Changle lowered his head, hesitated for a moment, then raised his head and asked, "Is the brocade box filled with Miss's most proud work?"

Yue Weiwei said: "Yes, I have been painting for a long time, and I like this one the most!"

"Can Changle take a look?"

"No!" Yue Weiwei felt inexplicably uneasy.

"Go to the door and see what's going on?"

Changle ran to the door in two or three steps, said a few words to the guard, and quickly ran back to reply: "Miss, many people went to the direction of Xinyao Pavilion. I wonder what happened to the third young lady?"
