It's really hard to just farm peacefully.

Chunying believed that Jiang Yan was not lying. The reason why Fu Nulang asked for "expression with both voice and emotion" was because she wanted herself to convey to her as completely as possible the expressions and tones of her loved ones.

Yes, sweethearts, more than one.

Chunying, who had the advantage of free entry and exit of the mansion, was informed of this matter on the second day after Fu Nulang took her in as a maid.

When Fu Nulang told Chunying awkwardly with blushing cheeks that there were four people who needed her help to pass messages to each other, she subconsciously thought that these four were the confidants developed by Fu Nulang.

Even though Chunying considered herself knowledgeable and experienced, she was still shocked. Then she completely forgot about the pressure that the positive emotions might bring to her, and agreed without hesitation.

After all, for a spy, being able to obtain first-hand information, even if it is just the daily interactions between children, is extremely fulfilling.

But who could have known that the sweetheart that Fu Nulang mentioned also included someone who was at odds with her?

After Chunying excitedly delivered a message, she discovered that in just half a month when Fu Nulang was out at the banquet, she had successfully attracted a handsome man and three "mortal enemies" with her extraordinary beauty and numerous talents.

It is better to say that they are "rivals in love" rather than "mortal enemies". There are two men and one woman, all of whom revolve around Fu Nulang's lover Li Langjun, and secretly compete for who has a better relationship with him.

Since Fu Nulang made a stunning appearance at the banquet and attracted Li Langjun's attention, the two gradually became closer. The three "rivals" had to drag Fu Nulang into the competition, from poetry and songs to chess, calligraphy and painting, and then to horse racing and archery.

Even though Miss Fu was trapped in the mansion these days, she was unwilling to stop the war and continued to debate on paper every day.

If they win, Chunying needs to show Fu Nulang their youthful spirit again. If they lose, Chunying needs to emphasize to Fu Nulang that they will never give up and will try again tomorrow.

During this period, she also had to deliver messages to Fu Nulang and Li Langjun in a timely manner to convey their respective concerns.

I feel tired just thinking about it... Chunying ran dozens of times in a few days, and her excitement at the beginning turned into numbness and fatigue that made her unwilling to move.

Miss Fu also knew that this behavior was very childish. In order to maintain her dignity in front of the other maids, she strictly ordered Chunying not to tell anyone else.

Chunying had no way to vent her frustration and couldn't wait to return to her normal life.

Fortunately, on November 10th, in less than two days, Miss Fu would set off to return to Heding Prefecture, and would be separated from her four "lovers" for a long time.

------------

On the morning of the day of departure, Jiang Yan listened to Chunying humming a little tune happily, and felt that the sun was rising from the west.

The route back to Heding Prefecture was completely different from the one we took coming here. Most of the time, we no longer passed through mountains and forests, but instead traveled through various counties.

Because many boxes of birthday gifts were sent to the old emperor, the burden on the caravan was suddenly lightened on the return journey. Many of the accompanying maids could take turns sitting on the carriage to rest, and the speed of travel was even faster.

November has already arrived in winter, and the further north you go, the more unbearable the cold becomes.

Jiang Yan sat quietly outside the carriage most of the time, facing the biting cold wind all the way.

She wrapped herself in a thick coat, and when the team reached a place with few people, she covered her head and face tightly with coarse cloth, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed, and memorized and observed the route along the way as usual.

Only when he could no longer bear the cold would Jiang Yan get into the carriage and sit in the vacant carriage that had originally housed the beauty, and then go out again after he had recovered.

The other maids in the car didn't understand what Jiang Yan was doing. Only Chunying came to a similar conclusion after observing silently for a while.
