Slowly Deep Love

A good cry and a spiritual education made Yue Weiwei feel a little relieved.

Now, she sat under the pear tree and looked up at the pear blossoms.

"It's so beautiful that it can compete with the snow in whiteness!" she said to herself.

When the door opened, she was as worried as she was afraid. She was afraid to come to the backyard and to see the big pear tree.

It’s all thanks to Nanny Li that I can sit here, looking at this tree, facing this wall.

This feeling is the beauty deep in her heart. It cannot be seen in the light, but must be faced.

Is the senior okay now? How will Li Hengan, the ghostly being, treat him?

Yue Weiwei felt cold all over. She stood up and happened to see Qian Yue coming over.

"Miss, dinner is ready. Please go back to your room and eat. I cooked a lot of dishes today." Qian Yue ran to her side.

"There are classes in Xueshan Hall this morning. There are so many students. Is there anything new?" Yue Weiwei couldn't just ignore Luo Zhuangzhou.

"Nothing new. Oh! I heard from Le Yu, who was cleaning the hall, that a poor student didn't come to the lecture today. Before Mr. Gongsun arrived, the whole hall was laughing about it."

Qian Yue spoke very easily and even laughed out loud, but Yue Weiwei was frightened when she heard it.

"Who is the person who didn't come?"

"I heard from Le Yu that the poor boy is very talented. Mr. Gongsun has praised him several times. He is also handsome." Qian Yue tilted her head and thought for a while, then suddenly said, "His last name is Luo, but I forgot his name."

It’s the senior. He didn’t come today. He must have been implicated!

Yue Weiwei held Qian Yue's hand tightly and asked in a muffled voice, "Can you find out about him?"

Qian Yue was stunned and asked hesitantly: "Miss, are you asking about him?"

"Miss!"

It’s Nanny Li.

Yue Weiwei awkwardly let go of Qian Yue's hand, lowered his head and walked towards her.

Qian Yue rubbed her hands and followed slowly behind. She looked down and saw that the hand was red with white. She was shocked: When did the young lady get such great strength?

"Miss, it's time to eat." Nanny Li said calmly, then turned to look at Qian Yue and waved to her to follow.

"Qian Yue, you don't have to take what the young lady said to you today to heart. The students in Xueshan Hall are very talented, and the young lady wants to learn how to paint."

Yue Weiwei sighed inwardly; she had inadvertently caused trouble again.

"Young lady's paintings are one in a hundred. Who else can compare to them?" Qian Yue jumped in front of Yue Weiwei and said, "I'll go and find out for you."

"Okay, don't scare people away with that mouth of yours. Leave this matter to me. You don't have to worry about it, and you are not allowed to spread it." Nanny Li looked at her and instructed solemnly.

Qian Yue suddenly remembered that night when Nanny Li took the box to burn the paintings, and she and Changle had no chance to see the paintings. Could this be related to it?

She didn't dare ask any more questions and just nodded.

After dinner, Qian Yue and Chang Le left carrying their heavy food boxes.

Nanny Li looked at the absent-minded Yue Weiwei and said, "Today's meal is not to Miss's taste."

"It's good. I ate too much at noon and can't eat at night."

"Miss, I still can't let him go."

"I... Mammy, I've been in this room for two days like I was in prison. What about him? Is his life in danger?"

"Miss, my son-in-law is a reasonable person..."

Yue Weiwei waved her hand and didn't want to listen anymore.

If he was sensible, he would not have to handle the murder case of the vixen brother for Lin Yuan.

"Miss, I will go and find out for you and relieve your anxiety. You need to concentrate and do your duty as Madam Ming in Qingxiang Pavilion."

"If he..." Yue Weiwei thought of the worst possible scenario and was too nervous to say it out loud.

She suddenly grabbed Li Ma's arm and asked fearfully, "What should I do if he... dies?"

"Miss, you have been locked up for two days for this. This punishment is a lesson for you. If anything happens to him, you don't have to blame yourself. It is not your fault, but you have to learn a lesson from it. Your inappropriate behavior will implicate others." Nanny Li said this and stopped talking.

"I am afraid that I may hurt the young lady's feelings if I say something unpleasant."

Yue Weiwei looked at Nanny Li with tears in her eyes.

"Madame Li, please speak!"

"He is a commoner from a poor family. He should be grateful to be able to study under Master Gongsun in the luxurious Taiwei Mansion. However, I think he is a greedy person."

Yue Weiwei stared at Nanny Li in a daze, unable to understand.

"Where do you get the idea?" She cried in grievance.

"Miss, you have lost your memory and forgotten the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues. He is a well-read person and should know these things best. How could he disregard ethics and come to the family residence in the backyard? Doesn't he have bad intentions?"

Yue Weiwei seemed to be convinced, but also seemed very dissatisfied. How could she say that about her senior?

"Miss," said Nanny Li earnestly, "The human heart is the most unpredictable. The luxury of the Grand Marshal's Mansion will dazzle people. He is not strong enough and he is not worthy of your deep affection."

Yue lowered his head slightly and let the tears flow.

Nanny Li stood by and looked at her silently.

As her tears began to flow less and less, Nanny Li touched her head and said, "Miss, no matter what his fate is, you don't have to blame yourself. He broke into the backyard of the Taiwei Mansion without permission, which broke the rules. He knowingly broke the rules, shouldn't he bear the consequences?"

Nanny Li's words were well-reasoned and logical. Yue Weiwei couldn't find any way to refute it and could only nod uncomfortably.

"How will he be punished?"

"I will go and find out tomorrow."

"Have you thought of anyone to ask?"

Nanny Li sighed and remained silent for a long time. Finally, she said, "Let me ask Master Li Chu!"

"Him!" Yue Weiwei slammed the table, horrified.

Nanny Li was startled. Seeing that there was no one at the door, she calmed down and said softly, "Miss, walls have ears. How can you shout so loudly?"

She felt that Yue Weiwei had a deep misunderstanding of Li Chu, and asked without knowing the truth: "Young lady, have you met Master Li Chu more than just today?"

Yue Weiwei was immediately stunned by the question. She took her hands off the table, placed them on her legs, and scratched around with her hands to relieve the tension in her heart.

Seeing that she didn't want to answer, Nanny Li said, "Master Lichu respects you, and you have been kind to him. He is a man who knows how to repay your kindness."

Yue Weiwei was puzzled. If the master didn't like him, what could the guards do?

However, she was very curious about this drop of water and asked, "Minglu did him a favor? What favor?"

"Miss, when you first married into the Taiwei Mansion, you still lived in Yuelong Courtyard. At that time, your uncle..."

Nanny Li paused for a moment and continued, "Let's not talk about it. During that period, the young lady actually spent more time with Master Li Chu."

"He is always respectful to you, unlike the other servants in the courtyard who treat you differently based on your status. You are a newcomer and you don't know many rules. You will always encounter difficulties, and most of them are solved by Lord Lichu."

"Really? This is because he is doing Minglu a favor!" Yue Weiwei muttered.

"Once, the Wang family in the east of the city sent a pair of jade ruyi. The son-in-law didn't even look at them, and asked Lord Li Chu to deliver them to Ronghua Restaurant. He said that Miss Lin's father had been in poor health recently, so it was a good opportunity to send him a blessing. As a result, Lord Li Chu accidentally broke one of the jade ruyi."

Nanny Li paused here. Perhaps because she was tired and scared over the past two days, she felt physically exhausted.

She appeared calm and steady on the surface, but she was actually extremely frightened inside.

She coughed lightly to relieve the dryness in her throat, and took another breath.

Yue Weiwei was excited to hear that Minglu and Lord Li Chu had such a relationship!
