Slowly Deep Love

When dawn broke, Yue Weiwei's upper eyelids drooped as if filled with lead, and she finally fell asleep exhausted.

When Nanny Li came to call her, Yue Weiwei hummed a few times but didn't wake up.

Nanny Li covered Yue Weiwei with the quilt and let her sleep.

Just as the hour of Si arrived, the entrance of Qingxiang Pavilion became busy. It turned out that Li Hengan had arrived!

He also brought Lin Yuan with him!

Changle ran to find Nanny Li, and Qian Yue broke into Yue Weiwei's room, calling her "Miss" again and again.

Yue Weiwei was too sleepy, so she turned over and fell into a deep sleep again.

"Miss, you can't sleep any longer, your uncle is here, get up quickly!"

"Don't bother me no matter what. It's so hard to fall asleep!" Yue Weiwei lifted the quilt, covered his head, and spoke vaguely.

Qian Yue heard some noise at the door and turned around to see that Li Hengan had already stepped in.

Powerless to turn the tide!

Qian Yue hurriedly lifted up Yue Weiwei's legs that were hanging on the bed and pulled the quilt straight.

When Li Hengan walked past the screen, Qian Yue immediately knelt down to plead guilty: "Sir, please forgive me. Yesterday, when the young lady woke up, she went to the backyard to relax her muscles and bones. She accidentally caught a cold and is now resting in bed."

Lin Yuan said disdainfully: "My husband is here, but Madam Ming doesn't even greet him. Instead, she lies on the bed and takes a nap. How disgraceful!"

Qian Yue said bitterly: "My young lady fell and was injured. She also caught a cold yesterday. That's why she is like this today."

Li Hengan glanced at Yue Weiwei who was sleeping with her head covered, frowned and said, "I've come to visit you today, so there's no need to bother her."

Just as I turned around and was about to leave, Nanny Li and Changle arrived.

Li Hengan did not stop. Lin Yuan trotted a few times, hugged his arm, and the two of them walked away.

Nanny Li watched them leave. The two people's sticky backs made her feel sick. She closed her eyes and turned her head away.

Qian Yue stood up, ran to Li Ma Ma, pointed at Lin Yuan's back and pouted: "You looked so arrogant just now."

Madam Li looked at the screen and said, "Let the young lady sleep. We will go out and talk."

The three of them stepped out, and Changle said, "The son-in-law came unexpectedly today."

Qian Yue was already filled with rage, and angrily said, "Come if you want, but you brought a vixen with you!"

"The young lady has already forgotten what her husband looks like. She failed to see him this time. I wonder what the scene will be like when we meet next time?" Nanny Li seemed calm and indifferent.

The young lady didn't recognize Li Hengan, and it seemed that she didn't take him to heart. The feeling of "everything goes" might not be a bad thing for the young lady.

Nanny Li recalled Yue Weiwei's smile and carefreeness yesterday, and she felt more relaxed.

It was already past noon when Yue Weiwei threw the quilt off her face, opened her eyes and saw the wooden roof. She said listlessly, "No matter how much sleep I get, I can't go back!"

She stretched lazily, opened the door and looked at every tree and blade of grass in Qingxiang Pavilion.

The sun was high in the sky when I woke up. It was another day of being reprimanded! Yue Weiwei shielded the sun with her hands and looked at the sky through her fingers.

"The sky is so blue and high. Rows of wild geese fly southward, sometimes in a straight line, sometimes in a V-shaped formation. Ah! Autumn is here!"

Yue Weiwei was reading a first-grade text and looking at the high, blue sky. Although it was spring, she remembered the text!

"Miss, you are becoming more and more confused. It's spring now, and the pear and peach blossoms in the backyard are in full bloom!" Changle ran over and quickly put a cloak on Yue Weiwei.

Madam Li ordered the cleaners, "You are all from Qingxiang Pavilion. The master here is only Madam Ming. If you go out and gossip about others, watch your mouths!"

The maids and servants who were cleaning the floor nodded one after another. They had just been staring at Yue Weiwei with strange looks on their faces, but now they all buried their heads in their work.

Yue Weiwei felt a little guilty, as she just said it casually, but it caused these people to suffer a lesson.

"Madam Li, I'm sorry to have made you worry. Maybe I slept too long yesterday afternoon and couldn't fall asleep at night. I fell into a deep sleep and couldn't wake up when it was already dawn." Yue explained with a smile.

"Young lady has been lying down for three days. How can she adapt to the new situation immediately after waking up? It's okay!" Nanny Li came over and pulled the cloak tighter in the middle, and said, "It's still cold in spring. Young lady must not catch a cold."

The three of them walked in together. Nanny Li took Yue Weiwei to sit in front of the dressing table and combed her hair carefully. She smiled and asked, "What hairpins and rings would you like to use today, Miss?"

Yue Weiwei opened the box beside her, revealing an exquisite hairpin that looked to be made of pure gold!

This is luxurious living!

Yue Weiwei was silently amazed in her heart again!

Nanny Li took the golden hairpin and carefully put it on her hair, praising it repeatedly, "It's really beautiful! Young lady has a unique taste. She liked it at first sight and bought it, but she didn't wear it for a long time. She must be in a good mood today!"

"Why doesn't Minglu wear it?"

"Miss, you forgot everything! You see, this hairpin is beautiful, but it's too luxurious." Changle made the bed and came in with hot water.

"Miss, please wash up quickly. Qian Yue has prepared a lot of delicious dishes and is on her way here!" Changle handed over a piece of cotton cloth, and Yue Weiwei took it.

As she washed her face, she thought: Minglu's life is well taken care of, and she spends a lot on food, clothing and other expenses. The life of a prominent family is beyond my reach. Alas! Poverty limits my imagination!

While eating, Yue Weiwei was thinking about the two trees in the backyard. After finishing her meal, she went straight to the backyard.

Nanny Li followed Yue Weiwei closely.

The two trees were in full bloom, and Nanny Li said, "Qian Yue picked some peach blossoms today to make peach blossom cakes for Miss!"

"Qian Yue's cooking skills are impeccable. I'm looking forward to eating the peach blossom pastry." Yue Weiwei walked around under the tree a few times and suddenly an idea came to her mind.

"Madame Li, what does the Grand Commandant's Mansion look like? How big is it?"

"The Grand Marshal's Mansion is very big. The Grand Marshal and his wife live in Chengyun Courtyard, which is three times bigger than Qingxiang Pavilion! The son-in-law lives in Yuelong Courtyard, which is also bigger than Qingxiang Pavilion. There is also Lingta Pavilion where Aunt An lives, Xinyao Pavilion where the third young lady lives, Chengtai Theater, Xueshan Hall, and a Dadingmen in the outer courtyard for receiving guests... There are too many!" That's all Nanny Li listed casually.

"It's worthy of being the Taiwei Mansion! I really want to take a look." Yue Weiwei rolled her eyes and pointed at the pear tree and said, "This pear tree is so tall. If I stand on it, can I see the Taiwei Mansion?"

"You absolutely can't do that! How can a lady of your dignity climb trees and walls and do such sneaky things?" Nanny Li's voice was trembling.

"As the saying goes, if you stand high you can see far. I just stood on the pear tree to take a look. How did that count as stealing?" Yue Weiwei felt that Nanny Li was exaggerating.

"I was anxious and used careless words. The young lady will not blame me, but you must not climb this tree!" Nanny Li was worried that the young lady nowadays could really do such a thing.

"Mammy, please, I'm under house arrest in Qingxiang Pavilion and I forgot about Taiwei Mansion. Just let me stand on a high place and take a look! I saw a ladder in the corner, which may be just right for me to use." Yue Weiwei looked at Mammy Li, then at the ladder, her eyes full of stars.

"You..." Nanny Li felt that her words were insufficient and useless.

Yue Weiwei walked over quickly, took Madam Li's hand, and shook it coquettishly, begging in a low voice: "Madam Li, please, I'll just take a look!"

"What if you fall? You just woke up and your body hasn't recovered yet. How can you climb up and down?" Nanny Li struggled internally. She couldn't be soft-hearted or act recklessly.

"Call Changle and Qian Yue over, and have them hold the ladder while I climb up. Then I can stand on the largest and thickest branch in the middle." Yue Weiwei pointed at the pear tree and said confidently.

"Don't make trouble, it's too dangerous! The young lady has always been quiet and calm, how could she become so bold after this fall!" Nanny Li pulled Yue Weiwei and wanted to go to the front yard.

"It's just climbing a tree. You're so bold! I won't leave." Yue Weiwei stayed where she was and Nanny Li couldn't pull her away.

"You...you want to piss me off to death. I'm old and I can't compare to you in strength, but I understand more than you." Nanny Li let go of Yue Weiwei's hand.

She was unwilling to accept it and said, "You are Madam Ming of the Taiwei Mansion. If you climbed trees and walls, how would it be dealt with if it got out? Even if you take a step back, you have to think about the reputation of the Ming Mansion!"

Yue Weiwei was like a deflated ball, thinking that Nanny Li would stop talking, but she turned around and pointed to the distance, saying, "That vixen is so worried that she can't find any evidence against you!"

"Okay, okay, Madam Li, I'm immature. I won't crawl anymore." Yue Weiwei took Madam Li's hand and walked towards the front yard.
