Slowly Deep Love

Yue Weiwei thought of the story of the second young master and the koi fish. She said with a sad heart, "Senior, have you ever liked someone?"

Luo Zhuangzhou was a little frightened when he heard this. How could a girl be so straightforward and ask such a question?

As he rolled up the scroll, he shook his head and said, "Not yet."

Yue Weiwei said, "Let me tell you a story. There was a maid who developed feelings for her male master, but the male master's mother would not agree to it at all. She beat the girl severely. The male master begged for mercy, but she beat her even more severely. The girl was exiled to a remote place, with wounds all over her body. I don't know if anyone will help her treat it, and I don't know if she will be in danger."

Luo Zhuangzhou didn't take it seriously after hearing this. The girl had chosen this path to get rich and was gambling in the first place. Now she had lost the bet and was doomed to suffer this fate. This was the price to pay for taking risks.

However, he noticed that Yue Weiwei's expression was full of sadness and worry, so he catered to this thought and said: "This woman's experience is heartbreaking, and the master will be worried about her like you are."

"Senior, you also think that this girl has a rough fate." Yue Weiwei felt that she had found someone to whom she could confide her thoughts.

"In fact, her fate was brought to her by this society. The indenture made her lose her freedom and depend on others to survive." Yue Weiwei continued.

Luo Zhuangzhou looked at Yue Weiwei's headdress and judged that she was not a maid or a slave, and said, "So she wants to be someone people depend on."

Yue was stunned for a moment, and said weakly: "Senior, do you think that girl is clinging to the rich and powerful, and the relationship between them is not worth mentioning?"

Luo Zhuangzhou thought: She was still beaten and exiled, what could that man do?

He put away the brocade box, looked up at Yue Weiwei seriously, and said, "Next time I come to see you, I will bring you a gift as a thank you."

When Yue Weiwei heard that the senior had a gift for her, she could not hide her joy. She nodded and said, "Senior, I'll be waiting for you here the day after tomorrow."

Luo Zhuangzhou wanted to ask about her identity, and asked: "Why is Weiwei in Tai..."

At this moment, Yue Weiwei felt some movement near the tree. She turned around and almost popped out her eyes. Nanny Li was walking towards her.

Without saying anything, she waved her hand outside the wall, climbed back to the tree stump along the branches, and jumped down from the ladder in two or three steps.

Nanny Li stood there, her teeth chattering with anger, unable to utter a word.

Yue Weiwei ran over and admitted her mistake in a low voice: "Mammy, I was too bored, so I climbed a tree and looked outside the wall. There was a pond outside the wall. Water plants had grown, and the water in the pond was green. When the sun shone on it, it would shine green."

Nanny Li didn't know what to say to Yue Weiwei, her lips trembled and she remained silent.

Luo Zhuangzhou, who was outside the wall, became more and more curious about Yue Weiwei's sudden disappearance. He asked about her identity twice, but was interrupted each time. He could only shake his head and quickly walk away.

Last time after school, he had a stomachache and went to the toilet alone. After using the toilet, he stood alone in the courtyard of Xueshan Hall and looked around.

There are other courtyards outside this courtyard, one after another. Li Hengan was born in this huge mansion, and he can call the wind and rain, but he lives in a remote wooden house with nothing but bare walls.

For some unknown reason, Luo Zhuangzhou walked in another direction and unknowingly came to the wall, where he met Yue Weiwei.

This time he used the excuse of going to the toilet and could not stay any longer and had to leave the Taiwei Mansion immediately.

Inside the wall, Yue Weiwei and Nanny Li stood opposite each other. Yue Weiwei lowered her head, looking at the ground, not daring to speak.

Nanny Li stood there for a long time, raised her hand, and wanted to speak, but she started crying silently.

It was not until the tears dripped onto the ground that Yue Weiwei looked up suddenly and saw a face with tearful eyes.

"Mammy, I was wrong. I shouldn't have climbed the tree, Mammy..." Yue Weiwei begged, reaching out to wipe Mammy Li's eyes.

Nanny Li grabbed her hand, held it in her palm, and said breathlessly: "Miss...Miss...Wuwu...I know...you have suffered too much injustice...You have never smiled since you lived in this Taiwei Mansion. Now that you are in trouble, forget the past...Wuwu..."

Yue Weiwei felt bad when she heard this. She was just a junior, and making her elders worry was a bit inhumane and ungrateful.

She quickly supported Madam Li and said softly, "Madam, you are very kind to me. You take care of my diet and daily life. You think of everything for me. I know that. I... I am wrong to climb a tree. Please punish me! I will kneel on the cushion."

Nanny Li grabbed Yue Weiwei's arm and said, "Miss, you can't be blamed entirely. You have endured humiliation and have been very sensible. Now you seem to have changed. If you act a little bit, I can see you smile."

Yue Weiwei was very surprised. She didn't expect Li Ma to say this out of character. She felt a little at a loss as to what to do.

Nanny Li smiled and wiped her tears, saying, "Young lady is in better spirits now than before she fell into a coma. She can eat and sleep... and even climb trees!"

Yue Weiwei laughed "hehehe", Nanny Li was particularly humorous when she told jokes.

The two walked towards the front yard together. Li Ma said, "I went to the market to buy pigeons just now. Not long after I left the mansion, I remembered the clothes that the young lady changed out of yesterday. It was picked by Madam Ming for the young lady. The young lady liked it very much. Although it was dripped with ink, the crack may be repairable. I thought I would take it to Liangdong Clothing Store in the West Market. This dress was bought there. The shop assistants there have good craftsmanship."

Yue Weiwei felt very nervous when she heard this. It was such a sin that she ruined Minglu's favorite clothes in order to climb the tree. She should be more restrained in the future.

Nanny Li found the scratched dress at the bottom of the closet, where Changle had folded it neatly.

Yue Weiwei helped her take it out. Li Ma Ma held the clothes and said, "Miss, you are tired too. Have a good rest. We will have stewed pigeon tonight."

"Let's eat together!" Yue invited her with a smile.

Matron Li sighed and said kindly, "Young lady is kind to us servants, and we know it well. We cannot sit at the same table with the master and servants, which is inappropriate."

Having said that, he turned and left. When closing the door, he did not forget to remind her: "Miss, have a good sleep."

Yue nodded slightly, reassuring her.

Watching Nanny Li disappear at the gate of the courtyard, Yue Weiwei felt lost.

Nanny Li's meticulous care reminded her of her deceased grandmother. She was only 10 years old at that time, and her grandmother was also the same age as Nanny, in her early 60s, lying in a large coffin, motionless.

Her grandmother gave her endless love and also taught her a lesson for her mistakes.

In this strange dynasty, it was her blessing and luck to meet an elder like Nanny Li.

Yue Weiwei lay on the bed, closed her eyes and wanted to sleep, but she couldn't fall asleep.

After tossing and turning, she sat up irritably and saw that the corner of the desk was empty. The senior's face suddenly popped into her mind.

How to do?

Yue Weiwei's heart felt empty and beating fast, and she felt like crying.

She missed the modern life, where she could travel freely, meet people without complicated etiquette, without oppression from the powerful, without inexplicable identities, but only love and care from her family, and she could study in the same university with her seniors.

Yue Weiwei hugged her knees and buried her head in them, feeling deeply lonely and helpless.
