Slowly Deep Love

Yue Weiwei raised her hand solemnly and touched the door, making a tiny sound.

"Miss, is that you?"

She was startled by the faint voice of Nanny Li, and when she came to her senses, she pushed the door open and walked in.

"Miss, you're here." Nanny Li wanted to stand up.

Yue Weiwei waved her hands quickly, stepped forward and said, "Madame Li, please lie down quickly. You have suffered so much!"

"Miss, it's my fault! Today, Miss Lin went to the kitchen. She walked around the stove and said a lot. I think that's when she gave you the medicine. Fortunately, you didn't eat the noodles. It's great." As Nanny Li spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.

Yue Weiwei reached out to wipe her tears and comforted her, saying, "You are the victim, why do you need to blame yourself? The person who drugged her is shameful. It was us who were not on guard. This lesson is too great."

"The trip to Qingyuan Mountain is imminent. I never thought that Miss Lin would resort to such means! This time she has really dragged the young lady down!" Tears began to flash in Nanny Li's eyes again.

Yue Weiwei said: "She has succeeded in her evil plan. The Taiwei's wife agreed to let her go with her so that she can take care of Li Hengan."

"This was originally an opportunity for the young lady and her husband, but it was easily ruined. This old servant is incompetent!"

"Don't blame yourself. I don't blame you! I didn't want to develop feelings with Li Hengan. I just wanted to go out and travel and relax. But in her eyes, I am always a thorn in her side. The price this time is too high! You all lie in bed. Qian Yue is even more unlucky. She just got beaten, and now..."

Yue Weiwei couldn't go on. She lowered her head and tugged at her clothes, as if she was thinking about something, but also as if she had nothing to think about.

"Miss, being a mother is not an easy job. It's common to look good on the surface but suffer in private. Fortunately, you escaped. Let us bear these sins for you."

"But I should protect you."

"The wife of the Grand Commandant may not be able to guess the truth! How can such a coincidence happen? It's just a few servants who got hurt. There's no need to make a big fuss. After all, the eldest son is behind that woman!"

Nanny Li was so insightful. She suddenly remembered what the housekeeper Uncle Wang had advised her, "Too much loyalty does more harm than good."

Looking at Nanny Li's face, she vaguely thought of her grandmother and said, "I have eaten more salt than you have walked!"

"After this setback, Miss must be more careful with this woman," said Nanny Li.

"Are we just going to let it go this time?" Yue Weiwei was actually unwilling to accept it.

"Miss, life is long, why bother about the gains and losses?"

“…” Yue Weiwei understood the truth, but putting it into practice was really exhausting.

"Who can guarantee that Lin Yuan will be a great success on this trip, and you, Miss, will gain nothing?"

"A blessing in disguise!" Yue Weiwei took a long breath, calming himself down and not letting anger fill his chest.

"Madame Li, you need to rest. I won't disturb you!"

Yue Weiwei stood up to say goodbye, but Li Mama held her hand and said, "Miss, think twice before you act, don't be impulsive!"

"Don't worry! I can bear it, and my housekeeper Uncle Wang also advised me to bear it."

Nanny Li nodded, let go of her hand, and watched her walk out of the room.

Yue Weiwei closed the door gently, walked to a stool not far away and sat down. It was already dark, and the spring night was chilly, but she liked the bone-chilling cold wind, which made her clear-headed and prevented her from getting too excited and becoming restless.

The servant who had been with me today came over, holding a thick cloak in his hand, and said, "Madam Ming, let me put it on you! It's a cold night, don't freeze yourself."

Yue Weiwei looked up at him and asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is Yuan Zhan. Before Madam Ming moved into Qingxiang Pavilion, I was taking care of her in this courtyard. Although no one lived there at that time, I was busy cleaning and taking care of the flowers and plants."

"Yuan Zhan, do you like the Taiwei Mansion?"

"I don't know how to answer. I only know that by working here, I can get a monthly salary, eat enough and have a bed to sleep in." After saying that, he scratched his head embarrassedly and smiled.

Yue Weiwei put on his cape and said, "Stay with me for the next few days. I just happen to be short of help."

"Okay!" Yuan Zhan agreed readily.

Yue Weiwei wrapped her cloak tighter. She couldn't afford to catch a cold and fall down. The people close to her still needed her care, and she had to get through this torturous time.

When he came to Changle's room, he found that she had fallen asleep, snoring softly. Her face was pale, but she was sleeping very soundly. Yue smiled with relief.

She didn't know that at this moment, the front yard of Qingxiang Pavilion was very lively!

The wife of the Grand Marshal came with four maids. Not seeing Yue Weiwei, she sat in the room waiting.

Yue Weiwei walked back to the front yard with tired steps. She saw candles lit in the room. She seemed to have hallucinations. She seemed to see Li Ma, Changle and Qian Yue placing food boxes and plates on the table.

After staring blankly for a while, Yuan Zhan whispered, "Madam Ming, there seems to be someone in the room."

She came to her senses and walked towards the room. It turned out to be the wife of the Grand Marshal.

"Minglu, are Madam Li and the others feeling better?"

"They are all very weak."

"I know you are short of people here, so I specially picked four smart and hardworking maids to send to you."

The four maids stood in line and saluted her one after another.

Yue Weiwei understood that this was a gesture of goodwill to her! She had to bear this grievance!

"Thank you for your concern, mother. Today, Nanny Li and three others suddenly had severe diarrhea. Minglu has already made arrangements, and they have someone to take care of them. Qingxiang Pavilion already has a lot of staff, so they can still be used."

"Several of the attentive servants around you suddenly fell ill. The others who do odd jobs are clumsy and you are not familiar with them, so you will certainly feel uncomfortable using them. These four maids are very smart, so you can take them and use them!"

"Minglu dare not refuse such enthusiasm, thank you, mother!"

"I see you are tired too, go to bed early! I'm going back now."

Yue Weiwei accompanied him all the way to the gate of Qingxiang Pavilion. She was eager to make a move, but when she saw the wife of the Grand Marshal take a few steps, she finally couldn't hold back.

"Mother, don't you think it's strange?"

"You mean diarrhea?" The commander's wife looked back slightly but did not stop.

Yue Weiwei watched her walk further and further away and disappear into the night.
