The reborn girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent marquis hugs her and coaxes her!

Chapter 210: Never Forget Your Original Intention

Looking at Xu Rongrong's earnest gaze, Wen Yao lowered his head and thought for a moment.

She had no intention of hiding anything, so she raised her head and told her mistress exactly what she was thinking.

Wen Yao is different from Luo Shu.

Luo Shu was purchased from outside, and his brother had always been living with the Xu family, so he was somewhat taken care of, but Wen Yao was a family-born child.

After his mother, Mrs. He, married Xu Chaoqian, she only brought one companion, and that was Wen Yao's parents.

After his mother died, Xu Liu came into the family.

Xu Chaoqian was in charge of everything, and Xu Rongrong was still young. All the servants in the mansion were sold off, and Wen Yao was only kept because he was young and could not consume much of the mansion's expenses. Because of this, Wen Yao knew how to read people's faces and how to protect himself and his mistress from a very young age.

When Wutong Courtyard was short of food and clothing, she tried her best to make sure the young lady and Luo Shu were well fed. Therefore, when the two maids stood together, she was one year older than Luo Shu, but slightly shorter in height.

She has always been sensible and considerate, but when it comes to Mu Ai, she is so cautious that it makes people feel distressed.

After a while, Xu Rongrong looked at her and asked, "What if he is willing to marry you as his wife?"

Wen Yao was slightly startled: "I haven't thought about it."

Xu Rongrong raised her hand with some difficulty, and Wen Yao hurried forward to hold it.

Xu Rongrong gestured for her to sit down, and then said: "Although he is a deputy general, your status is not low either; he has the Marquis behind him, but you also have me, the County Lord, to protect you. Now that our relationship with the Marquis's Mansion is established, if he treats you sincerely, he will surely promise you the position of his legal wife. If so, are you willing to marry him?" After saying so many words in one breath, Xu Rongrong was a little out of breath.

Wen Yao hurriedly tried to calm her down, "Miss, please take a break... You're ill now, so how could I possibly have the energy to dwell on these things? During the time I've known Deputy General Ai, I've witnessed how tirelessly you've worked to escape the Xu family, even taking numerous risks..."

"As you said, even if my status and that of Deputy General Ai are not worlds apart, in today's world, if a woman wants to live a good life in her husband's family, it all depends on the man's character. But the human heart is always fickle, how can you rely solely on a man's heart to support your whole life? Instead of longing for others, it is better to live a good life with the young lady."

She spoke clearly and firmly.

When Xu Rongrong saw this, a layer of mist covered her eyes.

If Wen Yao, who was so smart and insightful, could have entered the Marquis' Mansion with her in her previous life, perhaps their endings would have been different.

She wouldn't have struggled in the Marquis' Mansion for four years before understanding the truth about human nature.

So she nodded: "Just think it through." But Wen Yao still had a trace of worry in her heart: "But, will this affect the young lady's future relationship with the Marquis?"

Although the young lady and the Marquis did not hold a grand wedding ceremony, the marriage certificate has been signed... Mu Ai is one of the Marquis's most capable subordinates. What should I do if the young lady and the Marquis become estranged because of the matter between me and him?

Xu Rongrong looked at her with a smile: "Don't let your imagination run wild. Just like you said, if this incident makes him resentful towards me, then is there any point for me to stay in this mansion?"

But today Mu Rong was able to use the excuse to let Wen Yao take care of the injured Mu Ai. I believe that the deputy general treats Wen Yao sincerely. As for the future, it depends on whether he can impress this girl with his own ability.

As the two were talking, Luo Shu pushed the door open, holding a jar of candied fruit.

Seeing the tense atmosphere in the room, she immediately understood that the young lady must have something to say to Wen Yao, which was why she had sent her away. So, she pretended to be relaxed and walked over. "Young lady, you don't like sweets lately. I don't know which of these candied fruits will suit your taste, so I brought the whole jar."

After she finished speaking, she opened the lid and said with a smile, "Everything in the Marquis' Mansion is exquisite. Sister Wen Yao should try some too. My young lady has been ill these days, and I've lost a lot of hair. Hurry up and have some sesame cake to replenish my hair!"

Upon hearing this, the master and servant swept away their previous solemnity.

Wen Yao blushed even more. "You're the one losing your hair. I don't know who's so anxious and angry that he keeps complaining to me about toothache."

The two of them were exposing each other's shortcomings. Xu Rongrong was half leaning on the bed watching them bickering, with a faint smile on her lips, but she was still unaware of it.

Luo Shu quarreled with Wen Yao for a while, and after the other party's face returned to normal, she made an excuse to get hot water and left again.

Seeing that Wen Yao was no longer depressed, Xu Rongrong smiled and said, "I feel relieved that you and Luo Shu can be so considerate of each other." Although the ice-sealing poison did not continue to harm her body, this poisoning made her realize that the trajectory of her fate had changed. Although she changed some outcomes with the memories of her previous life, these changes brought new unknowns.

Her ending, the ending of these two girls, and even the ending of everyone will be something she cannot predict.

But no matter what, as long as they can support each other, there is always hope for the future.

There was always hot water in the tea room of Xinghui Hall and it was brought in soon.

Looking at his young lady's tired eyes, Wen Yao hurriedly used a hot towel to apply to her face and wipe her hands.

After her hands and feet warmed up, she tucked the four hot water bottles into Xu Rongrong's quilt and said, "It's getting late, Miss, you should go to bed early."

Xu Rongrong lay down. The conversation had indeed made her a little tired. "I don't need anyone to wait on me here. You should go back early too," she muttered, her eyelids growing heavy, and she gradually fell asleep.

Wen Yao lowered the curtain for her and then stood there motionless.

She felt a little relieved until she heard the steady breathing coming from inside, and then she tiptoed out.

Outside the door, a bright moon hangs in the sky.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month has already passed, but the moon today is exceptionally bright, illuminating the entire courtyard like a mirror.

Luo Shu was standing in the yard. When she saw Wen Yao come out, she pointed to the moon in the sky and said with a smile.

"Look, even in such a cold weather, the moon remains unaffected. It rises and sets every night, maintaining its own trajectory, unaffected by the cold, rain, or snow."

"The same goes for you and me."

"When the young lady is at the Xu residence, we are her maids; when the young lady is at the Marquis residence, we are still her maids. You and I only need to protect the young lady, and other things will naturally have their consequences."

She was not as thoughtful as the young lady, and did not know why Wen Yao was so depressed. She just felt that everything had its own principles, and no matter what difficulties she encountered, as long as she did not forget her original intention, everything could be solved.

Wen Yao chuckled when he heard this: "You're talking so vaguely. Do you want to take the imperial examination next year?"

The two girls left together with smiles under the clear moonlight.

Only after they disappeared did Mu Lu poke his head out from the roof and said coldly, "The road ahead is long and arduous, second brother needs to keep searching..."
