Yuan Wei's Quick Travel

Nanny Chen came to the door of the study and called out cautiously, "Young lady."

"Come in, Mammy."

"Miss, Shaoyao has forgotten her roots. I will teach her a lesson. She is not worth your anger."

Nanny Chen smiled and comforted Yuan Wei.

Yuan Wei was just pretending to be angry so as not to vent her anger on others.

She knew that Shaoyao was sold because her family was poor and could not afford to raise more children.

She was bought directly by the original owner's father and had not been trained by human traffickers. She had no idea that no family would tolerate her behavior.

"No need, Mammy. Just send her home. I can't afford her."

Hearing this, Nanny Chen looked up at Yuan Wei in astonishment. She was shocked and no longer dared to underestimate Yuan Wei. She said more carefully, "But now there will be no one to serve the young lady."

"It's okay. I have to observe mourning and I don't need anyone."

She originally wanted to get rid of the person, but he came to her door on his own, saving her the trouble of finding an excuse.

Nanny Chen saw that she was determined and knew that she would not change her mind.

I had no choice but to turn around and go out to deal with the peonies.

"Mammy, can I get up now?" Shaoyao said in surprise when she saw Mammy Chen coming out.

Nanny Chen kept looking at her without saying anything, and the smile on Shaoyao's face gradually froze.

"Mammy? I just want to help the young lady with her work. Are you still angry?"

"You know you've made the girl angry, so why are you still smiling so playfully? Why don't you beg for mercy?"

Nanny Chen shook her head, not knowing whether she was ignorant or bold. She didn't take the girl seriously, no wonder the girl couldn't tolerate her.

"Mammy?" Shaoyao called out nervously, finally becoming nervous.

"You have been in the Yuan family for a few months, right? Miss, please be kind and allow you to go home. You can leave now."

Shaoyao's face turned pale. Missing home? She didn't want to.

She didn't have enough food to eat or warm clothes at that home, and was often beaten. Home was not as good as here, and she didn't want to go back.

"Mammy, my family sold me a long time ago. I have no home anymore. Please don't drive me away." Shaoyao cried loudly and begged for mercy.

"Silence! You'll be in trouble if you disturb the young lady." Nanny Chen shouted sternly in a low voice. When she saw Shaoyao stopped shouting, she added:

"Don't bother to dwell on this. Look at you now. You don't even have the self-awareness to be a slave. The Yuan family can't tolerate a big Buddha like you. You should find a better place to live."

Shaoyao wanted to argue a few more times, but Nanny Chen interrupted her directly, "If you don't want to go home, why don't you go to the human traffickers and find a master who's easy to bully?"

Understanding the threat in Nanny Chen's words, Shaoyao's face turned pale and she sobbed softly. Now she finally regretted it. How could she have lost her mind after just a few months of good life?

It’s all my aunt’s fault. If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t look down on the girl.

Nanny Chen personally went to cancel Shaoyao's slave status and sent her back home.

When she came back, she saw Yuan Wei copying the Book of Filial Piety, and Nanny Chen was standing aside, not daring to disturb her.

"Sent away?" Yuan Wei asked softly.

"Yes, I sent it back personally. Miss, how about buying a maid to serve you?" Nanny Chen asked slowly.

"Not for now, let's talk about it later." Yuan Wei shook her head and refused, "It would not be appropriate at this time."

After copying one page, Yuan Wei put down her pen and rubbed her hands. "If Madam is too busy, just ask someone else to do it. Forget about hiring someone."

The original owner was frail and didn't practice calligraphy regularly, so Yuan Wei felt her wrist ache after writing only a few pieces.

"It's just that I'm quite busy these few days. The boy at my house can help, so there's no need to hire anyone for the time being."

Her grandson is also 8 years old, but he is not a girl, otherwise she could be called over to serve the girl.

Yuan Wei nodded, said nothing more, and picked up the pen to write again.

Seeing this, Nanny Chen quietly retreated.

Nanny Chen wiped the non-existent sweat outside. The girl became more and more majestic, and she even started to get nervous in front of her.

Then Nanny Chen became happy. It was good to have authority. There was only one girl left in the Yuan family. Without some ability, how could she support the family?

The next day, Yuan Wei packed up the books she had collected earlier and called Nanny Chen. "Nanny, do you know the Su family?"

Nanny Chen nodded, "Future son-in-law's family? I know."

"I heard that Master Su will be taking the imperial examination next year. I packed up some of my father's books. Please ask Uncle Zhao to deliver them to him."

When Yuan Wei said these words, she was trying to pretend to be shy, but when she found out that she couldn't, she just let it go.

Anyway, Nanny Chen didn't stare at her.

It’s strange to say, Su Yuebai is Yuan Hongming’s disciple, and he is also engaged to the original owner. Logically, the original owner should have met him.

However, the original owner had no memory of his appearance, so Yuan Wei still didn't know what he looked like.

"I'll go right away. Do you have anything to say to Master Su?" Nanny Chen picked up the book next to her and asked.

Yuan Wei shook her head, paused, and said, "By the way, let Uncle Zhao find out what his family thinks of this marriage."

"What? They still want to break off the engagement?" Nanny Chen glared.

"That's not the case, Ma'am. In the past, our father was still around and could guide Young Master Su, but now..." Yuan Wei explained softly.

Now she is the only orphan left, so it is normal that the Su family is unhappy.

She'll see what their family's attitude is before she decides what to do next.

Nanny Chen packed up a piece of indigo cloth and handed it to her husband Zhao Shitou along with the books, and whispered a few instructions.

"Do you remember it?"

Zhao Shitou nodded, "I understand."

Su Yueqing was inspecting her own fields, preparing for spring sowing, when she looked up and saw a carriage approaching in the distance.

"Whose relative is this?"

"Who knows? Who in the village has such a wealthy relative? Maybe I just took the wrong road."

Su Yuelan said nonchalantly that this village was full of poor farmers, and there were no relatives who could ride in a carriage.

At most, you can take a bullock cart.

"Uh, it seems to be heading towards our house."

Su Yuelan looked up and saw that it had really stopped at their house. When Su Yuelan and the others ran back, a circle of people watching the fun had gathered at the door.

They also started a lively discussion in low voices.

"Is this someone from Master Yuan's family in town?"

"It seems so. Didn't you say the marriage is off?"

"I also heard that after the Yuan family's funeral, the Su family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went there several times but didn't see Miss Yuan. They didn't even let her in."

"So the Yuan family is here to formally cancel the engagement?"

When Su Yueqing and Su Yuelan heard these words, their faces turned grim.

They didn't care about anything else and squeezed in.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I heard a servant from the Yuan family say, "...My daughter was heartbroken over her father's death and didn't care about anything else. When she heard that Master Su was going to take the imperial examination, she thought she couldn't help much, so she thought of sending him the books that my master had read in the past, hoping that they would be of use to him."

Su Yuebai bowed deeply upon hearing this and said, "Thank you, my daughter, for me. These books are very useful."

Zhao Shitou quickly avoided his greeting and explained to his daughter with a smile, "My daughter didn't know that there was a visitor from your house. Everything was done by my aunt on her own. Now my aunt has gone home."

He saw that Young Master Su was neither arrogant nor impetuous at such a young age and had a gentle temperament, and he was very happy for his daughter.

She also didn't want the Su family to misunderstand the girl.

When Miao heard Zhao Shitou's explanation, she touched the smooth cloth in her hand and smiled broadly.

I just hope the Yuan family doesn’t want to cancel the engagement. She has been having trouble eating and sleeping these past few days because she is worried that the Yuan family will cancel the engagement.

Even San'er was worried and lost a lot of weight in recent days.

She was still worried about whether San'er would be able to take the imperial examination next year. Now that she knew the attitude of the girl from the Yuan family, she could finally feel relieved.

San'er can now study with peace of mind.

As soon as Zhao Shitou left, the Su family was surrounded by villagers, who asked questions one after another.

While no one was paying attention, Su Yuebai took the book back to the study alone, leaving his mother alone there to loudly answer the villagers' questions.

The Su family was not wealthy, but the yard and rooms were kept clean. Because Su Yuebai had to study, a room with the best lighting was reserved for him as a study.

Su Yuebai stroked the books that Yuan Wei brought to him, and a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes.

It would be fine if he didn't want to cancel the engagement. He was worried that he would not be able to fulfill his mentor's instructions and would let his mentor down in vain.
