Slowly Deep Love

As soon as Nanny Li and Changle walked into the door, they saw the Third Young Miss's personal maid Qianyin. She was the same age as the Third Young Miss and had grown up with her since she was a child.

Qian Yin greeted Li Ma and the others with a smile, and said, "The third young lady is not feeling well, but she has a stubborn personality. When Madam came to visit just now, she refused to let her rest on the bed. She is now painting in the pavilion!"

Nanny Li and the other person followed Qianyin and when they got closer they heard a few coughs, which was distressing.

The third young lady had her back to them, sitting in the pavilion, basking in the sun and painting intently.

She heard the noise and turned around, seeing Nanny Li coming. Just as she was about to stand up, she started coughing again.

Qianyin and Li Mama quickly ran over to support her. Li Mama was very worried and said, "Miss Third, please take care of yourself. Why are you standing here in the cold wind?"

"I don't want to lie in bed anymore. I just want to walk around in Xinyao Pavilion and get some sun. It's nothing serious!" The third lady sat back down. Qianyin offered her tea, but she waved her hand and refused to drink.

"It's quiet here, and the scenery is beautiful. No wonder Miss San likes to paint here!" Changle looked at the painting and said, "My Miss has been loving painting these days."

"Sister-in-law is awake!" Miss San was surprised and happy. She turned around and asked Qian Yin: "Why didn't you tell me?"

Changle knew that he had caused a big disaster, and the Grand Marshal did not want to publicize the matter.

Nanny Li immediately explained: "The young lady is awake, but..."

"What's wrong? Cough cough cough..." Qianyin quickly patted the third young lady on the back.

Nanny Li was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. She said, "I didn't dare to tell you because I was afraid of upsetting you! Not many people in the Grand Marshal's Mansion know about this!"

"Why?" The third young lady finally stopped coughing.

"My young lady has lost her memory and remembers nothing!" Nanny Li said with difficulty, tears in her eyes.

The third young lady was shocked at first, but then she calmed down and said slowly, "Sister-in-law hit her head and has been unconscious. It's good that she woke up. Don't blame her."

"Thank you for your concern, Miss Third. I just hope you take care of yourself and don't worry." Nanny Li said, wiping away her tears.

"I want to go see my sister-in-law."

"Miss Third, you can't do that!" Qian Yin stopped her immediately: "The Grand Commandant has clearly ordered that this matter must not be made public. If you go to visit, won't there be trouble?"

"Qianyin is very thoughtful and what she said is very true." Nanny Li quickly agreed. She was also afraid that the third young lady would really visit Qingxiang Pavilion.

"The young lady just told Madam Li and me that she really wants to see you, but she is confined to the yard. She can't go out, and no one else can come in." Changle said.

"Did my father do it?" asked the third young lady.

Several people nodded together, and Li Ma said, "The commander is doing this for the young lady's own good. She has forgotten everything now, and is afraid that she will cause trouble if she leaves Qingxiang Pavilion. The young lady is studying hard now, and she will be released soon. When she does, she will come to see the third young lady first."

The Third Miss was amused: "Madame Li's words are just what people think!"

Everyone laughed together, and Li Ma said, "I am sorry to bother you for a long time. Miss Third needs to rest and recuperate. I will leave now."

"Madame Li, please stay. Qianyin, go pack up the pair of golden blessings and go to Qingxiang Pavilion with them to personally deliver them to my sister-in-law."

Li Ma was happy, but she also declined: "Miss Third is too polite. You are still recovering from your illness! How dare you trouble me like this!"

"It's my duty. My sister-in-law has woken up, but I can't visit her. Isn't that rude?" In her eyes, the pair of golden characters "Fu" were just a decoration. If they could really bring blessings to her sister-in-law, it would be a good deed on her part.

When I thought about my sickly body and the fact that I was being used by my own brother, I felt completely hopeless.

The Third Miss watched Nanny Li and the others walk away, then went back to painting. Thinking of what Changle had just said, she became curious about what her amnesiac sister-in-law would paint.

She couldn't help but look forward to the day when Yue Weiwei was released from the ban. It would be a pleasure to talk about their paintings then.

The three of them left Xinyao Pavilion and walked in silence along the way. When they arrived near Qingxiang Pavilion, they saw Master Li from the General's Mansion walking towards them from the front.

The three of them saluted quickly. Li Hengtu said, "I heard that Hengying was coughing again, so I came down to visit. Where is Qianyin going?"

Qian Yin replied, "Mr. Li, I am here on the orders of the Third Miss to give a gift to Madam Ming."

Li Hengtu thought for a moment and said to Li Madam, "Hengying knows that Madam Ming has woken up."

Nanny Li nodded and replied, "I just learned that the Third Miss was ill. She was very worried, so she ordered this old servant and Changle to visit her. That's when I found out."

"It's okay. Hengying is on good terms with Madam Ming. She will feel relieved knowing that Madam Ming is fine." Then she turned and walked towards Qingxiang Pavilion.

"It happens to be today, so I will go with you to visit Madam Ming, and then go to Xinyao Pavilion with Qianyin."

When they arrived at Qingxiang Pavilion, Qianyin was stopped outside the threshold by the guards. Li Hengtu was also unable to enter, so he stood at the door waiting.

Nanny Li was very sorry and said, "Mr. Li, Miss Qianyin, please don't blame me. The Grand Marshal has personally ordered this, so it is difficult to make an exception."

Then he said to Changle, "Go and invite the young lady here quickly!"

Qian Yin smiled and replied, "It's okay."

Master Li kept looking inside the door.

Changle found Yue Weiwei and Qian Yue on the stump of a pear tree in the backyard. When Yue Weiwei came down from the tree, her skirt was torn, but no one noticed.

Changle quickly gave a brief account of the affairs of Xinyao Pavilion and also said that Master Li was also here. Yue Weiwei understood what was going on after hearing this.

The three of them walked to the front yard, and Yue Weiwei saw Nanny Li and a smart maid standing at the door, talking to each other.

Standing next to him was Master Li, wearing a blue shirt and with his hair tied up, looking very energetic. They looked into each other's eyes.

Yue Weiwei saw the light in Li Hengtu's eyes, which were full of anticipation and joy, and she smiled back.

Qian Yin saw Yue Weiwei approaching, and immediately stood up straight, bowed her head and nodded. Yue Weiwei said from a distance: "Don't be shy, Miss Third, is your cough better?"

"Madam Ming, I am worried about you. The Third Miss misses you very much and asked me to give you this pair of golden characters for "Fu". I wish you endless fortune and luck." As she spoke, Qian Yin opened the brocade box, revealing the golden characters for "Fu".

Yue Weiwei rushed forward to take the brocade box. This gift dazzled her eyes. It was made of gold, which was really generous. She couldn't adapt to it for a while and spoke a little incoherently.

"This gift is too expensive. I am embarrassed... Oh! Miss San knows that Minglu has woken up? I remember that day, the commander-in-chief said not to disturb her. I am really sorry that this has caused you some trouble."

When Nanny Li saw that Yue Weiwei did not greet Master Li, she quickly said, "Young lady's speech has changed since she lost her memory. Master Li and Miss Qianyin, please bear with me."

Qian Yin smiled and said, "Madame Li is worrying too much. Madam Ming has changed and she looks very good now."

Li Hengtu also said, "I haven't seen you for a few days. Madam Ming looks very healthy and energetic. Uncle and aunt will surely be relieved."

Yue Weiwei looked at the door and said helplessly, "Ah! This is the only way now. When the ban on Qingxiang Pavilion is lifted, I will treat everyone to a meal."

Several people looked at each other, but Li Hengtu smiled knowingly and said, "After Madam Ming woke up, it seemed that her personality had changed, but in fact, she was still kind and enthusiastic."

Changle nodded vigorously, "hmmmm", Nanny Li lowered her head slightly embarrassedly, Qianyin was a little stunned, but she could feel that Yue Weiwei had no ill intentions.

Yue Weiwei saw everyone's reactions and knew that she had made a big mistake this time. She held the brocade box a little awkwardly and turned to look at Nanny Li's expression.

Suddenly, Qianyin saw the crack on Yue Weiwei’s skirt and wondered, is Madam Ming really so unkempt?

Qianyin did not stay and left after saying goodbye. Li Hengtu also said goodbye and went to Xinyao Pavilion.

Everyone crowded around Yue Weiwei as she entered the house. Changle said, "I saw two familiar-looking Xiao Si on the road, and I thought the Madam and the son-in-law were in Xinyao Pavilion. I was a little nervous at that time!"

Nanny Li said, "I forgot to tell you before we went there. That road is usually quiet. You are such a talkative person. Going there is just the right place to cure your illness."

Qian Yue was skeptical: "We have only lived in the Taiwei Mansion for two months, and the young lady has only been to Xinyao Pavilion twice with the nanny. I have heard that the courtyard is quiet, but I didn't expect it to be so disciplined!"

Yue Weiwei carried the brocade box into the room, placed it on the shelf beside the bed, and arranged it carefully.

Madam Li said, "I feel guilty for not completing today's study. Miss, let's start now."

Yue lowered his head slightly, his hands drooping on the shelf, blaming himself for being too ignorant and letting the two golden blessings disturb his mind.

Changle and Qian Yue quickly left.

……

Half an hour later, Nanny Li came out and went to the kitchen to make vegetable and egg noodle soup. Changle and Qian Yue rushed in, helped Yue Weiwei, who was kneeling on the cushion, and one rubbed her shoulders while the other tapped her legs.
