Faced with Ji Nanzheng's words that sounded like reproach and heartache, Wan Zhou did not respond.

She raised her eyes and looked at Ji Nanzheng.

The moisture from the pain in the corners of my eyes has not dried yet and is still wet.

After a long while, she finally spoke: "General, let's be fine, okay."

Ji Nanzheng's heart was shaken violently.

Wan Zhou looked at him with his bright eyes moistly, his expression was complicated, showing grievance, struggle, and compromise, his voice was soft and sticky with a plea for peace.

Faced with such a Wan Zhou, Ji Nanzheng found that he had no resistance at all.

His heart softened.

He didn't even think about what Wan Zhou meant by "fine".

Looking straight at Wan Zhou.

Wan Zhou was immersed in his own thoughts. He noticed the changes in Ji Nanzheng, but it seemed as if he didn't see them.

She got off Ji Nanzheng, sat next to him, and said seriously: "General, from now on, I will just be the daughter of your subordinate. I will respect you and admire you, okay?"

Somehow, in that sudden moment, Wan Zhou felt particularly bored.

Why was she and Ji Nanzheng talking back and forth?

Come to think of it, it has only been a few days since they got married, but they have been competing with each other almost every day.

It wastes time and hurts the relationship.

It’s better to be sincere.

"In fact, I did those bold things just to make sure that the general is a good person and will not really hurt me. I sincerely apologize to the general for what I have done. Let's let the past go. From now on, we will get along like this, okay?"

"How to get along?" Ji Nanzheng's voice suddenly became cold.

Wan Zhou thought about the wording and said, "How your subordinates treat you is how I will treat you in the future. I am talking about attitude."

"Then what?" Ji Nanzheng asked again.

Then?

Wan Zhou was a little confused.

There is nothing next.

"Then... I will leave when the general thinks it is appropriate. What I said before was not just a casual remark. I will follow the general's arrangements in everything."

"As you wish." Ji Nanzheng stood up suddenly, and his whole body seemed to be covered with a layer of cold air.

After he finished speaking, he walked away with his long legs, which made Wan Zhou's eyes turn.

Why is Ji Nanzheng like this? He changes his face at will.

Wan Zhou had already made up his mind and didn't think too much about Ji Nanzheng's sudden change. He still had a good sleep that night.

But the next day, after breakfast, Nanny Yu came again.

Behind her was a woman in her forties and a maid about fourteen or fifteen years old.

"Madam Fourth Young Master, Madam asked me to pick two servants to come to the courtyard to serve."

Nanny Yu's attitude towards Wan Zhou is much better than before.

In the past, he showed respect on the surface, but in reality, he didn’t even look at people in the eye.

The respect shown to Nanny Yu in front of him was somewhat genuine.

"Thank my mother-in-law for me."

Wan Zhou asked Bai Lu to give Nanny Yu a purse containing five cents of silver.

Nanny Yu accepted it with a smile: "There are still many things waiting, so I will go back now."

As soon as Nanny Yu left, Qiu Ge looked at the two new helpers and frowned deeply.

When they moved this time, they didn't even bring Silly Girl with them. There were just three of them, master and servant. It was a bit hard, but there were no outsiders involved.

Suddenly there were two outsiders, and they were from the Duke's Mansion. Qiu Ge immediately felt uncomfortable.

Qiu Ge could feel it, and so could Wan Zhou.

They sent two people here for no reason, saying it was to help but actually it was just surveillance.

Could it be that Sanniang’s secret has been exposed?

After Wan Zhou asked about the two people's origins, he began to understand a little.

The woman's name was Aunt Li. She was previously in charge of the maintenance of another guest house, so it was considered a side transfer.

The girl's name is Sui'er, and she is also in charge of the guest house, but she is a servant of the Duke's Mansion. Her mother is responsible for the maintenance of the flowers and plants in the yard, and her aunt is in Mu Wan'er's yard.

Due to his special understanding of Mu Wan'er, Wan Zhou intuitively felt that perhaps the matter of sending the servant was related to Mu Wan'er.

Mu Wan'er is a thoughtful person. Yijing Pavilion is remote, so if she wants to know what's going on inside, it makes sense for her to find someone to keep an eye on it.

No matter whose idea it was, the person had been sent here and she couldn't send him back.

Wan Zhou immediately made up his mind and went to find Wang Sijun.

Did Mu Wan'er instigate Madam Wang to send the servant away? You will definitely know the answer by asking Wang Sijun.

Wan Zhou asked Qiu Ge to pack a portion of Juxianlou's famous butter cake, as he heard that Wang Sijun loved it.

She deliberately chose the time of nap to go there, because at this time, Wang Sijun was in his own yard and would not run into other people.

When Wan Zhou passed by, Wang Sijun was just preparing for lunch break.

"Sister Yun, I bought Juxianlou's butter cake to thank you."

Wang Sijun was a little surprised that Wan Zhou would suddenly visit her. After all, they really had no relationship of visiting each other.

What surprised her even more was that Wan Zhou actually said thank you to her.

Why doesn't she remember doing anything that deserves thanks?

"Gu Wanzhou, are you okay?"

Wan Zhou was not annoyed by the unfriendly treatment and smiled: "Madame Yu said it was you and mother-in-law who suggested adding servants to my yard."

"I have a clear sense of right and wrong. You are thinking of me, so of course I have to thank you."

“Heh…” Wang Sijun laughed somewhat arrogantly: “Gu Wanzhou, you’re thanking the wrong person. How could I possibly do such a stupid thing.”

"Only Sister Wan'er, who has a kind heart, would do such a stupid thing. If you want to thank someone, then thank her."

Wan Zhou smiled happily.

Sure enough, I guessed it right.

Mu Wan'er is still haunting us.

Regardless of whether Mu Wan'er had bad intentions or not, it was really disgusting that she allowed people to inquire about her whereabouts and privacy. She was even more disgusting than the arrogant Wang Sijun in front of her.

"Oh, is that so? Then we should thank her," Wan Zhou said perfunctorily.

"You can thank me, but you can't take the butter cake away." Wang Sijun saw Wan Zhou was about to leave and thought she was going to take the butter cake away to give to Mu Wan'er.

"Of course, sister Yun likes it. I will give it to you next time."

Wan Zhou thought of a solution on the way back.

After all, those two servants were not Mu Wan'er's confidants, and at most they could only give her small favors.

This is really easy.

It was not difficult for her to bribe the two servants.

As long as you are willing to spend money, there is nothing that the servants cannot bribe.

Wanzhou went back and first met Sui'er alone.

Wan Zhou asked Bai Lu to give Sui Er five taels of silver: "Since you have come to my yard to help, then you have worked hard. This is a meeting gift."

Sui'er looked at the five taels of silver with her eyes rolling.

Her monthly salary was half a tael of silver, which was only six taels of silver in a year, but Wan Zhou's money was almost enough to cover her annual monthly salary.

It's impossible not to be moved.

But she didn't dare to ask for it.

Although she was young, she knew very well that no money was given for free.

Seeing her hesitant expression, Wan Zhou added, "This is just a meeting gift. If you satisfy me in three months, I will give you another ten taels."

Hearing this, Sui'er opened her eyes as wide as possible.

10 taels?

I have never seen a master who is so generous.

"Fourth Young Master's wife...?"

Sui'er wondered if giving her so much would ask her to do something against the law.

But as a servant, she didn't dare say it directly.

"Don't be afraid. I won't let you do bad things for me." Wan Zhou knew what was going on with her and said directly, "From now on, if someone asks you about Yijin Pavilion, just tell me everything without missing a word."

In the end, Sui'er accepted the five taels of silver and agreed to Wanzhou's request. She repeatedly said, "She will answer every word of what others ask her, but she won't do anything else."

After all, Sui'er was young and not Mu Wan'er's confidant, so the next afternoon, Sui'er brought the news.

"Fourth Young Lady, my aunt asked me what kind of food was cooked in the Fourth Young Lady's small kitchen, and whether she mentioned the general."

Mu Wan'er was indeed very good at hiding. She let the people in the yard do the contact while she hid behind, leaving no evidence behind.

Wan Zhou was very disgusted with Mu Wan'er's behavior of spying in the dark, but she didn't want to waste her energy on such a person, so she decided to stay put.

The most important thing is to live your own life.

There had been no news of Ji Nanzheng for many days since he left in a hurry that day, and there were no other uninvited guests in Yijin Pavilion, so Wan Zhou lived a very carefree life.

In a flash, more than half a month passed.

After Wan Zhou's menstrual period.

But he didn't come.

The first one to discover it was Bai Lu. She was always careful and careful, and Wan Zhou's dates were always accurate.

Although Bai Lu is only 17 years old, she is studious and has learned a lot from the maids in the mansion.

Wan Zhou's period did not come on the due date, and Bai Lu immediately suspected that she was pregnant, but she still endured and waited for five days.

"Miss, your period is five days late?
